My Gorilla Cookies plant is absolutely exploding under these new high-intensity lights! It's showing incredible resilience – seriously, this thing can take a beating. The combination of its hardiness and the promise of those potent, frosty buds has me super excited for the weeks to come. I'm starting to catch whiffs of that classic sweet, earthy aroma, with just a hint of chocolate in the background. It's gonna be a good harvest! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

Overall this week was very steady! They drank a lot, between Sat-Sat I had to fill res twice. I think my res is 50L, so they went thru 100 L (or so) in a week. Or about 2L per plant per day! Probably on Tuesday, I might defoliate again. It's a pretty solid sea of green, but there is a lot below canopy and these are Autoflowers, So I will promote the Larf growth, to use in edibles etc. Generally I try to avoid defoliating into flower, but desperate times! Haha The interesting thing is, when I look at my week to week data, I can see as the canopy thickened, the overall temperature of the Tent went down, then stabilized at about 24c. So to me, that indicates the canopy is absorbing much more energy than previously (avg was 27.5c). So what use to raise the tent by 3c, is now going right into the Plants. I'm very hopeful about this run! :)

Somango auto

She is getting big and beautiful

She's getting heavy. Buds are a bit too puffy for my taste. They feel hard and got plenty of mass but inside there are lots of tiny air pockets.

The gelato 45 is becoming enough big 🤓💚

Sep 1: there might be a bit of lower leaf damage on WP1 after the 2 C night here two nights ago. Otherwise everything seems fine and the buds are progressing. Sep 2: removed some yellowing fan leaves that had been damaged by cold temps. Sep 3: WP1 has finally stopped getting taller and is starting to flower. Good thing too cuz the days get short pretty fast now and it will be iffy as to whether this plant will finish in time. Sep 6: Well, I spoke too soon as WP1 is still getting taller, and it grew 4 inches in 3 days. This far north, it should be flowering not vegging by early September. Oh well. Lots of insect life on WP1 (ladybugs, spider, flys, few ants even) and a few aphids so it seems to be in a balance and the plant is fine. WP2 in the city was force flowered a while ago and is progressing nicely. These are in small 5-gallon pots in an attempt to limit their size and to encourage flowering.

July 21, 2024 Day 92 This week may be a little weird with pictures. My phone's screen died, so pictures may be a little messy if any at all. I'll do my best to get as good as I can. Anyway, I managed to get these 4 before the screen went black again. I'll update as I can. So the focus this week will be flushing and flushing only. I don't have enough flawless finish so I have to flush with plain water. Sour Diesel A is looking pretty good. Her branches are getting heavier and heavier. Some are starting to lean a bit too much and will pull down other branches as anchors. A good and a bad thing. Not too bad though. Sour Diesel B is just doing her thing now. Her buds are huge and solid. Her leaves are starting to show more color and some are yellowing out. She's getting there. Sour Diesel C is looking great and is definitely thirsty. She's already getting light. It's a good thing I'm flushing tomorrow. After that, it will be just bottom feed of plain water for the rest of the week or 2. Sour Diesel D is still bulking up. Her leaves still aren't showing color, but they are starting to show signs of hunger. Just barely around the edges. The environment is actually not that bad today. The humidity is below 60% and the temp is just at 75 degrees. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76 RH: 58% VPD: 1.25 kPa July 22, 2024 Not much going on today. I managed to get a daily pic, but that's it. I will be flushing tomorrow I think. They are still a bit heavy. Sour Diesel A is looking really good. She has super frosty buds and they are nice and heavy. The fade is starting to pick up the pace. It is to be expected now. Soon enough we will have some beautiful colors. Sour Diesel B looks great! Her buds are nice and fat as well as getting even more frosty. I cant get trichome pics for now because my phone is broken. However, I can Still look through a loupe. Currently they are half clean and half cloudy. Definitely looking at another week. Which makes total sense for the time frame. Perfect. Sour Diesel C is looking amazing with her bright green leaves and tight buds. She's starting to fade a bit more now. It's looking like we will see some yellows and maybe some pink. no purple though. I don't expect this strain to give purple anyway. Sour Diesel D has this stupid looking fat cola that's more like the end of a club than a plant top. Its about as hard as one too. Too bad I don't have a baseball bat. I'd love to see if its actually fatter than the end. The environment is about the same as it was yesterday. The humidity is just below 60% and the temp is around 76 degrees. ( cant find the degree symbol lol.) I cant really say much for the averages. i cant see the app on my phone. I will update everything when I get a new phone. For now it will be just an average from what I've seen throughout the day on the display at the tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76 RH: 59% VPD: 1.20 July 23, 2024 Flushing day and picture day! I flushed each plant with 3 gallons of water PHed to 6.5. Sour Diesel A has this kind of wind swept look about her now. I just noticed it today when I was flushing her out. The branches all seem to be bending toward one side. Like they are bending toward the center of the plant. Sour Diesel B is looking marvelous. Her buds are fat and the foxtails seem to be stopping now. However I did notice the lower buds have much more pronounced foxtailing. I believe it's due to the smaller size of the lowers. Sour Diesel C is fantastic. Her buds are solid and frosty. Definitely packing on more weight too. Sour Diesel D is just ridiculous. Her main cola is like a football. Super solid cola. Can't wait for the harvest. Soon enough. The environment is still like yesterday. Just under 60% and 76°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.9% VPD: 1.20 kPa July 24, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily pic and a quick check of the plants. Sour Diesel A looks great as always. Her leaves are still pretty green, but I can see more purple coming through. No other colors yet. The smell is great too. Sour Diesel B is also looking great. Her buds are big and fat. Her frost is frosty sweet. I can't wait to see how she turns out. Sour Diesel C is smelling sweet and gassy. Her buds are really frosty now. The buds are still putting on weight and are getting tighter. Sour Diesel D is getting frosty now. She was frosty before but now it's getting more noticeable. I can't express enough how solid this massive cola is. Its SOLID. The environment is the same as it has been for the last few days. Humidity below 60% and the tempmis around 76°. It will, of course, drop down to the low 50's% when the AC kicks on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.16 kPa July 25, 2024 A first thing update: So it's before my actual diary writing time and I need to address this. A friend of mine saw heat stress in my plants and I was really confused as to how it could be. Well, it was getting hot in the tent before I woke up in the morning. So 2 to 3 hours of 80° everyday for the last week if not longer. I fixed the issue today with mu AC. I'll just keep it on 24/7. It's picture day! No watering needed. I'll be doing one last flush I think. Theblast one didn't show clear water. So one more time should do it. Sour Diesel A is showing signs of heat stress now. Although, as I said earlier today, I have fixed it. But the humidity is really high. The back branches are leaning hard with one falling over flat. It's a good and a bad thing. Lots of weight, but not as good of light. Sour Diesel B is under a lot of stress. I didn't realize it was heat stress as I thought the temp in the tent was 76°. Her buds are still really nice, but I think the heat stress is causing lower foxtailing. Sour Diesel C needs nothing. She is also showing signs of heat stress. Not as bad as Sour Diesel B, but still there. It should be fine now. I'm not sure what the humidity is going to do, but it's high. Buds are tight, frost is on point. Sour Diesel D is showing the least amount of heat stress, but is also the only one not showing signs of fading yet. She is still beautiful and huge buds. The environment is back to really high humidity and good temp. So I'm trading heat stress for humidity stress. Great. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.04 kPa July 26, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily pic and observation. Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I don't know if she is suffering from much heat stress, but she should be fine now. I took care of it. Her branchesbare leaning more and more. I can tell she will be a decent harvest. Sour Diesel B is by far the worst with the heat stress. It must be the location of the plant and the airflow. Maybe there is an empty air pocket. Interesting. I'll have to look for it. Sour Diesel C looks great! Just a little bit of heat stress and that's about it. Her buds are nice and tight. No leaning, butni have a feeling we will run into thar with her. Sour Diesel D is showing a slight sign of heat stress, but nothing serious. It should be fine with the temp fix. One of her side branches is starting to lean a bit. Not a lot, but enough. Otherwise, she looks great! I really wonder what the main cola will weigh. 2 Oz? We will see. The environment was giving me trouble for the last week and last night I left my AC on. It was chilly when I woke up, but the tent was at a comfortable 74°. The humidity is also a bit lower, down to 57%. Not too bad. I would like it to be at 50%, but this is what I got. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.8° RH: 58.7% VPD: 1.11 kPa July 27, 2024 It's picture day! And video day! I was going to do another flush today, but tomorrow is the start of a new week, so I'll wait for then. I'll also start taking trichoke pics starting next week. I think I was supposed to start this week, but there's no point in looking at clear trichomes. Sour Diesel A needed some support for the rear branches. They were leaning super hard. So I propped one up that's now holding the rest ofbthe branches up. Let's hope it holds. Everything else looks good. Sour Diesel B is still showing signs of heat stress. I'm guessing it'll take a few days to recover. Not good for the last week of life though. We shall see how she turns out. Sour Diesel C is looking great! Her branches are starting to pull out a bit from the weight. We shall see how she looks at the end of the week. Sour Diesel D needed 1 branch propped up. It was one of the lowers, but it has a nice big bud on it. Other than that, she's looking pretty good. The environment is better. I kept my AC on all night and shut it off this morning. I'll have to turn it back on in a little bit, but yah, it worked. The humidity was also below 60%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.1° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.12 kPa

Well, not much has changed, so it's kind of like 'same same but different' around here. The plants are still vibing, doing their thing, just with a little more oomph this week.

Día 36. Estamos en 6ta semana. Los esquejes se atrasaron debido a que han sido días muy fríos y no he logrado enraizarlos. Decidí poner el extractor de aire junto con la bomba de aire, así solamente se prende 15 minutos cada hora. Así estoy logrando temperaturas mayores a 24°C en el indoor y así voy a lograr el enraizado. La planta ya tiene un tamaño que ocupa casi todo el indoor. Pero lo importante es que la voy guiando y ya estoy proyectando como va a ir cada rama. El tamaño va a exceder lo que esperaba, pero aún así creo que si logro lo que tengo en mente, voy a sacar muy buenos resultados. Igual no me voy a arriesgar demasiado, así que si contando 10 días desde ahora, no logro que los esquejes enraicen, voy a pasar la madre a floración sola. Cómo pueden ver, las ramas están bastante gruesas, y el la ramificaciones van ganando su lugar cada una. Las raíces son demasiado grandes, aunque sé que voy a poder poner la planta en el sistema de arriba igual, aunque me voy a tener que ayudar de algo para meterlas. Es importante no utilizar las manos, ya que se pueden transmitir muchos hongos. Voy a seguir actualizando e ir viendo que pasa. Pero ya estamos en los últimos días de crecimiento, haya o no esquejes. Incluso puede que ya pase la planta al indoor de arriba para darle mayor libertad de crecimiento. Esto me va a servir para tlmar en cuenta en la próxima camada que se vendrá. La idea de esto es hacer las cosas rápido, y no en gran tamaño. Pero siendo que ya estoy en el baile, no me queda otra que bailar. Día 40 Los esquejes no estaban enraizando, así que decidí cambiarlos de lugar y los puse arriba de la luz, donde les da calor y luz tenue. Espero que ahora si agarren. Y hoy fue el gran día, pasé la planta madre al módulo de arriba. Pero lo voy a dejar una semana más creciendo. De esa forma veo si los esquejes llegan a agarrar a tiempo. Y además tuve un problema en el trasplante. Primero que la planta se hizo más grande que lo esperado, y la raíz también. Cuando la pasé, hubo contacto de la raiz con prácticamente todo lo que había cerca. Sumado a que se enredó en el oxigenador, así que quedó una pidra difusora en la raíz. Dado el alto riesgo de haberla contaminado con algún hongo, le puse una solución de agua con agua oxigenada, recirculando continuamente, para lavar las raices y de paso bajar el stress de teansplante. Mañana veremos cómo arranca el día. En el aprendizaje me llevo que en la madre, es mejor hacer un corte en el primer nudo, o dejar las ramas del segundo y quitar las del primero. Y así que queden sólo dos ramas, para luego dejar a los esquejes en el medio. Eso planeo hacer con la próxima variedad. Entre tanto ahora sólo me preocupa que la raíz no se haya contaminado en el traspaso. Ya en 8 días estaré pasando a floración si no hay esquejes. Si llegan a agarrar, habrá que dar unos días de crecimiento hasta que alcancen a la madre en altura. Pero ya está todo en definición. Ahora sólo queda esperar y seguir guiando a la planta. Ya tengo ganas de poner la próxima, pero falta bastante para eso. Tengo 10 semanas de flora, así que recién en 5 semanas voy a poner la nueva madre.

Tag 39: Nicht mehr lange dann hat die Chocolate Haze das Netz ausgefüllt. Heute habe sie ein wenig entlaubt, so kann ich sie gleich besser gießen. 😁

Hola familia, decidimos esperar y curar unas semanas antes de probarla. 19% de thc y es que esta cepa con predominancia indica no deja de sorprendernos a cualquier cultivador, es una cepa no muy complicada para cultivar pero tampoco fácil. 60/65 días de floración cruzada entre northern light x afghani . Buenos céntrales y buenos satélites. Hasta aquí el final del principio.

This week, the Diamond Handz by Square One Genetics got........well sticky. She is frosting up nicely and smells like sweet candy. I am surprised by the stacking on these main branches 😃. There is not much to do for her as she has received her last feed already. All that is needed is wellness checks and watering.....I do not mind being in the Tent as the smells are soooooooooo Damn good 😏. I also tend to pluck out any yellowing or dying leaves until the end of flower!

I think everything ist allright, but they are a little slow, compared to others. One seedling cant keep up with the others, should i replace it?

I have cut the food from the larger one, just another week or so i reckon. I could pull it now, trichs look good but aiming for a liiitle more amber. Very few clear if any. The small one is about 3 weeks behind im thinking, but my god does it stink. Most stinky plant ive had yet i think, despite its size haha.

start of week 2 veg, i put an aquarium heater in my res to keep the temp 21 celcius also added an extra airpump in the res with the waterpump roots are already in the water i used CFL so far i might hang my led above them now

Few weeks to go !

This week went really great! Plants are looking super healthy today at day 22 from seed!! Today they got a dose of just pure water phd at 6.5 ! Temperature an humidity has been staying pretty stable everyday, staying around 70-75 degrees and 58-61 % humidity!! Can’t wait to see what these girls do this week ! Hope you all enjoy , an had a great safe weekend! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨If there’s any questions, please ask me 🙏🏻
