What to say about this week? For starters LST was started this week. Initially I used garden ties but soon after replaced them with 6” garden staples . 2 of the 6 girls began throwing pistals resulting from the LST starting around day 15 YIKES 😬. The Zkittlez & the Runtz both from (Expert Seeds ) began giving the 5x5 its first smells . The LST so far has been a pleasure no ooosy daisies so far & the girls are showing what they are made of . The secondary shoots have great potential to form a nice round bush that I can train out into an even-as-possible canopy . Today is day 21 & day 20 for this bunch . They are only using Gaia Green dry amendments for feedings but I decided to take some advice given to another grower & supplement my girls with some compost tea . NO I DONT THINK THEY NEED ANYTHING ADDITIONALLY IM REALLY HAPPY SO FAR WITH MY NUTES bbbbuuuuuttttttt in the short chance that my ladies may take a liking to an occasional tea & reward my pampering with large , long , frosty, stacked cola’s . . Thennnn I’m supplementing , I consider this all “4-play” for my ladies Ik a giver 🤷‍♀️😭 My only concerns are racing against this clock to get as much size & solid structure before flowering sets in I’ve really got my heart set on a certain outcome & I’m one for a good challenge. Finally , atleast as much as I can remember, I increased the dimmer knob on the light from 65% to about 78%. I won’t increase the watts any higher until bloom sets in fully & at that point I’ll be turning it to 100% raising it a maybe 6 inches & watching patiently for my girls to start praying 🙏 to it . Week 3 in the books !

well this lady has been a gem too work with , she really stretched out at flower growing from a rose into too a sun flower lol but not quiet as tall as her sister the cali snow , she has been no trouble at all so far no deficiency's at all , also her bud structure is forming nicely and again not too far behind the cali snow , but both plants have almost identical structures too each other until you rub your fingers on those sugar leaves and they tell you they are doing there own thing by the lush sent they leave you sniffing your fingers in delight , the cali snow has much more of a friuty smell than the GSC but they both smell delicious thats for sure

08.08.: Blütetag 1 Heute habe ich nur noch die Triebe unter das Netz gebogen, damit alle ungefähr auf einer Höhe sind. Da der Platz nun sehr gut durch beide Pflanzen ausgefüllt ist, ist der Moment gekommen die Blüte einzuleiten. Die PBB hat schon so viele Stempel, sodass es so aussieht, als wäre sie schon in der Blüte. Daher denke ich, dass die PBB nicht lange für die Blüte brauchen wird. Wir werden es sehen. 12.08.: Blütetag 5 In den letzten Tagen seit Umstellen des Lichtzyklus und Einleiten der Blüte, sind beide Pflanzen ein gutes Stück über das Netz hinaus gewachsen. Aktuell gibt es nicht viel zutun. Leider sind einige Thripse auf den Pflanzen, aber ich habe bereits Raubmilben ausgebracht. Hoffentlich können sie die Thripse etwas in Schach halten. Außerdem habe ich die Bewässerungsdauer auf 20min, wenn das Licht angeht und nach 6h Beleuchtungsdauer, gestellt. Falls das nicht ausreichen sollte kann ich immer noch händisch nachgießen oder die Bewässerung anpassen. Den Beleuchtungsrhythmus habe ich so gewählt, dass abends um 10 Uhr das Licht angeht und morgens um 10 Uhr aus, damit die Lampe nicht während den heißen Sonnenstunden brennt. 13.08.: Blütetag 6 Die Stretchphase ist bei beiden Pflanzen noch voll im Gange. Aktuell wachsen sie durchschnittlich ca. 6cm am Tag. Ich bin gespannt, bei welcher Höhe sie ihren Stretch beenden. Das nächste Update gibts dann in Blütewoche 2.

So at the moment im at the end of week 1 flower... i do not own any type of real fans operating in tent other then just a couple house hold fans and no ducting of any type running.. at the moment the smells are getting a bit faint in the air, its similar to a skunky coffee bean when i open the tent, i honestly love the smell personally lol.

Tag 98: Nachdem die Shogun etwas "geschlafen" und eher ab statt aufgebaut hat, ist sie doch seit ein paar Tagen wieder in den Gang gekommen und die Blüten sind schön weitergewachsen. Tag 102: Es scheint ein Kühler August zu werden, das ist ganz Wunderbar für meine Pflanzen 😍 jetzt in der Endphase.

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

The best taste under the sun, great color of buds, unforgettable gorillas for me;) After quite a long fight with high temperatures and lack of support in the form of boosters, I am happy with the final result.

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Flowers are growing great. All the plants have been given 2 small shovels of compost. The compost was mixed into the soil on top.

Plant has stopped growing. Buds are beginning to swell up and a cute orange-purple colour is appearing on the calyxes !

And the first week of flower is amongst us, I’m not sure if it’s the fast bud genetics, the living soil, or a mixture of both, but I think the videos say it all, the deep green throughout, day 41 and just look😍. Everything’s been sitting nicely 24/7 Humidity 49~56%, temps 23~26c This week they all received there last top feed, along with a slight bit of defoliation, some massive fan leaves! slightly over watered as you will notice in one of the videos, but I won’t be surprised if they’ve grew another few inches over night.

Week 2 of flower and they have grown fast. Incorporated flower fuel and calimagic into their watering. Definitely getting a bigger tent. They are about to explode I can tell. I had one grow too tall and started to burn from the light so I'm trying to learn more about scrog and hst to help this grow flourish. I also removed a few fan leaves that were dying and some others to allow more light to the bottom.

She’s almost ready for harvest, just one more week of watching the weather, a big flush, and then it’s time. She’s looking incredibly frosty for a CBD plant; the buds are more like what you’d expect from a high-THC strain. Can’t wait to see how she tastes and what the effects are like in the next few weeks.

Sono un po’ in ritardo ma posso già commentare questi boccioli di Gorilla Cookies FF perché sono già stati trimmati e puliti per essere curati in barattoli di vetro. Non ho avuto particolari problemi nel crescere queste ragazze, l’unica cosa che purtroppo non ho potuto mantenere sotto controllo era la temperatura che nelle ultime settimane era arrivata quasi a 30ºC :-/ e questo non è stato di aiuto alle piante a cui ovviamente non piace stare sotto queste temperature di continuo…nonostante questo e alla poca compattezza dei fiori sono super contento del gusto e dell’odore che ricordano tanto i terpeni della Calypso Sun Rock di Anesia Seeds, sarà che ho trovato un fenotipo che condivideva gli stessi geni con cui sono imparentate entrambe! Inoltre è stata la prima volta che ho avuto il piacere di utilizzare il super soil di Dogma Organics che sicuramente ha esaltato al massimo le particolarità della pianta e confermo che la differenza si sente, le piante crescono a meraviglia con struttura solida e zero carenze di nessun tipo se si usa con giuste quantità e tempi sia il top dress che le giuste quantità di acqua che dovrebbe sempre essere la cosa più importante dove bisogna imparare a capire i bisogni in base allo stadio di crescita…in più ho condiviso alcune foto del mio giardino di quest’anno :)) Fast Buds super consigliato genetiche ottime e selezioni veramente interessanti

I started picking for forbidden fruits the day after last week’s post, checking the colas with the scope and only picking tops that were approx 10-20% amber. As I snipped colas I also removed a lot of upper fan leaves, this is to allow light to reach lower buds for a final ripening. Once picked, I placed approx 100g in each brown paper bag, folded the top and sat on a rack. I slowly rolled the bags around once or twice a day just so the buds didn’t stick together. Seems to have worked well, no dreaded hay smell to note and nicely dried. I think I’ll be taking some more colas tops off in a few days time and I’ll keep the plants alive for another week or two, depending on how fast they come along. I have 4 Mimosa EVO (no diary) about 7 weeks into veg at the moment and I think it would be nice to give them another 2 weeks as I need big plants to make clones from them, ready for the next diary coming soon... hopefully with successfully taken clones 😊
