A few things that needed attention 🌱💡 There’s some light burn and bleaching on the upper leaves, which also caused minor deficiencies. I’ll keep an eye on it, but aside from providing plenty of nutrients, I’m not planning to make any major changes. I can’t raise the lamp any higher — it’s already at the top of the tent — and I’m not lowering the light intensity below 700 PPFD at the centre, since that would drop the levels too much in the corners of the grow space. So, we’ll keep pushing! 💪 The leaves below the canopy are still very healthy, so I’m not too worried. I’ll continue feeding nutrients with every watering, as the new growth (especially the sugar leaves) looks fine. However, one of the Purple Lemonade plants looks pretty fried, even though it’s been treated the same as the others. I’m guessing it’s down to genetics. 🍋 So that’s how we roll — still very optimistic! 😎🌿 Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~60% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg.

From the first days of flowering, I immediately saw that this strain had potential in terms of the rapid development of lots of smell trichomes.. ~ Hope better every day ❤️

2 more GG#4 seeds went into coco tonight along with this post! Make sure to follow & grow together on Instagram

Absolutely love this cultivar, make sure you have adequate ventilation as these buds are very resinous and dense. It was a very nice plant to grow even though it was small in structure made up for the weight in the buds

SATURDAY: Today I mixed up 5g of nutes for my bloomers and douched them. I'll let them dry completely for 2-3 days, then flush them a bit with a little boomerang and calmag. I ordered a Gorilla lite-Line High CFM kit last week and received it today...fits my tent poles perfectly. This really works to keep the tent walls from collapsing in too far, and I was able to use one pole to rig a shelf to put the fan. That freed up a good bit more floor space. Yesterday, I ordered a 4 x 4 Vivosun tent and inline fan, and a 1500w (5 x 300w COBs)..this tent will be for vegging autos to put into the flowering tent as others are harvested, as well as a place to veg photos that I encounter before they are moved outdoors. I'll probably end up ordering another of the same lights, but for now I have a few supplemental lights I can use...blues and daylights. I'll drop a few WW's or CC's as soon as that stuff arrives so they are big enough to occupy flowering tent space in a few weeks. SUNDAY: I spun everybody around and misted with spring water a couple times throughout the day and formulated my plan for ventilation of the new tent which should be here Tuesday. I plan to hook the exhaust from my 4' x 5' tent as fresh air intake in the top of my 4' x 4'. By doing so, all that good CO2 that is exhausted from the flowering tent will rain down over the veg tent inhabitants before being exhausted from the bottom of the tent. I don't think heat will be a problem in the new tent with so much less light, so I'm optimistic that it will work just fine. I may even route the exhausted veg tent air back into the bottom of the flower tent, giving the girls another shot at the CO2 enriched air....we'll see... MONDAY: Got the room ready for the new tent which will arrive tomorrow, misted, rearranged, and whispered sweet nothings to all the girls. Tried out my new macro lens...need practice.. TUESDAY: Mixed up 7.5 gallons of nutes for the bloomers...ceased open sesame and began beastie bloomz. Assembled my new 4' x 4' Vivosun tent and set up its ventilation and lights. I implemented my idea of exhausting the semi-cool/CO2-rich air from my flowering tent into the top of the veg tent. Only needed 5' of flex duct, so it's got great airflow..no need for another intake fan...yay! Tomorrow I'll get the 6" x 6" x 6" 'Y' duct and connect my 6" booster fan to it. The booster fan will still be sticking into the flower tent, drawing 70 degree a/c air into the tent via direct flex duct connection, but will now be mixed with the exhausted air from the veg tent. I'm probably gonna keep the ventilation in both tents running once I've got a fully closed-loop system. The only reason I was shutting down the ventilation was so that CO2 would build up for 4 hours, but even if it gets exhausted from the flower tent, whatever the veg tent inhabitants don't consume will find it's way back to the flower tent in under a minute...and so on, and so on.. I spent a while putting together a lighting schedule that will allow me to decrease temperatures while still keeping optimal color spectrums and maintaining good light intensity. Had to empty the tent so I could get to everything...what a pain! --------------------------------------------------- FLOWERING TENT Timer #1 --- exhaust, intake (digital timer) on - 6:15am off - 2:15am Timer #2 -- primary blurple light (manual timer) on - 6:30am off - 10:30am on - 11:30am off - 3:30pm on - 4:30pm off - 6:00pm on - 6:30pm off - 8:30pm on - 9:30pm off - 2:00am Timer #3 -- all 4 daylight cobs (manual timer + power strip) on - 6:00am off - 12:00pm on - 12:30pm off - 6:00pm on - 6:30pm off - 2:00am Timer #4 -- all 4 overhead reds, sub-canopy tubes, side strip lights (manual timer + power strip) on - 1:00am off - 6:30am on - 10:30am off - 11:30am on - 3:30pm off - 4:30pm on - 8:30pm off - 9:30pm Timer #5 -- all 4 miracle LED (flowering) in corners, corner, daylight supplemental (manual timer + power strip) on - 6:00am off - 10:30am on - 11:30am off - 3:30pm on - 4:30pm off - 8:30pm on - 9:30pm off - 2:00am ---------------------------------------------- VEGETATIVE TENT Timer #1 --- primary light and exhaust (manual timer + 3-way splitter) on - 6:00am off - 2:00am Timer #2 --- blue supplementals (manual timer + power strip) on - 2:00am off - 6:00am on - 10:00am off - 2:00pm on - 4:00pm off - 8:00pm Watching temps closely.... ------------------------------------------ WEDNESDAY: My new lighting schedule seems to be working..high was 87 today, and it dropped into the upper 70's last night...schweet! I'm pretty confident that when I get my ducting in on Friday and have the closed-loop ventilation for the two tents completed, that it will drop the temp even further and I'll not be wasting so much precious CO2...and then I can ADD MORE LIGHTS and begin with renewed heat mitigation efforts!!! I'm really wanting to pump up the deep reds and maybe far reds during their 4-hour "nighttime" ...maybe more low-wattage sub-canopy tube lights, too. I guess that the girls really loved the Beastie Bloomz...much fattening happening... It was so nice being able to move Kushpialidocious into the new veg tent...more space, better canopy penetration. THURSDAY: Spun everybody around and misted with spring water..soil still moist. Temps held pretty much...86-87 all day..i changed the overhead light timer a bit so it kicks on a half hour earlier and as a result temp climbed to 89-90 for about 15 minutes, but quickly dropped to 85 when the 4 COBs turned off... when the big blurple and 4 miracle leds in the corners ( + the extra 40w daylight supplemental in my darkest corner) turned off 15 minutes later, it quickly dropped to 79.....15 minutes later...74...15 minutes later...72!!! "By Jove, I think he's got it!" I might actually be able to harvest these fuckers with all terpenes intact.👍 On second thought.😎..I'm gonna dial back the reds a half hour again (and maybe the 4 COBs), because I'm going to try switching out the 40w Sansi bulb for my extra 100w Bridgelux/Epistar 3500k COB light. (MORE POWER!) I really don't think it gets very much, if any, hotter than the Sansi 40w. I'm really hoping to keep it below 90 at all times and as close to 70 as possible at night (red zone).. new temperature test will be tomorrow. It will also be the first run with the closed-loop ventilation system in place...all ventilation will remain on at all times in both tents, and based on my rudimentary calculations, my 2 x 6" inline fans and the 6" duct booster can move enough air to circulate through both tents about 240 times per hour. I figured that like this: The 3 fans move 1,010 cfm. The two grow spaces total 252 cu ft (4 x 5 and 4 x 4) There is just over 12 feet of ducting involved in the loop, which is about 6 additional cubic feet. Correct me if I'm wrong...I'm not an HVAC guy.. The A/C kicks on, on average, every 12 minutes, so there will be a regular supply of cool fresh air injected into the mix as well. My hopes are high! (and so am I) One other interesting thing is that the addition of the 4-5 gallons of frozen water in jugs makes the substrate temp stay in the lower 70's all day long..I'm hoping the roots at least get the signal that "Winter is coming." FRIDAY: Well, shit. My closed-loop ventilation system didn't work quite right...evidently, I should have studied up on calculus. Rather than the negative pressure in both tents that I expected, both tents swole up like they were snakebit..(positive pressure?)..and temperatures in both tents started to rise...no pinche bueno. I'm sure it's my math that's off..., for example, I didn't account for the fact that the flowering tent has a carbon filter which decreases the cfm's considerably, and the intermittent flow of central air is a variable that I am also uncertain how to factor. So....I scrapped the idea until I can achieve truly equivalent intake and exhaust in both tents. HOWEVER...I did discover a trick that I will dub a "heat siphon," which is a definite improvement, but only in the veg tent. When I disconnected the flex duct from the 6" inline fan(exhaust) in the veg tent, I had intended to stub it off for now. I noticed that there was considerable "back-flow" caused by the duct booster intake fan in the flowering tent. So, the duct booster draws air from the a/c register, AND from duct which I've placed in the veg tent immediately above the light. I moved the 6" inline fan in the veg tent to to top of the tent and connected a 3' piece of duct to it that is also placed immediately above the one side of the light, so heat from the veg light is ejected into the room and partially drawn into the flower tent where it is mixed with cool a/c air, carbon scrubbed, and sent to the veg tent raining the unused CO2 down over them at about 85 degrees, which is considerably cooler than the normal tent temp. It's still not perfect.. Because the flowering tent is absorbing some of the heat drawn of the veg tent light, I'm up 3-4 degrees on average in the flowering tent, which is not what I was hoping for at all...it's now hitting 92 degrees in the flowering tent at some points during the day, and hovering at 79-80 at night, so I'm gonna have to revise the lighting schedule again..

Last week of veg for these beautiful ladies

Smooth harvest, chopped just at the peak of the heatwave. Buds were solid as stone and had been for a while.

I used to grow gorilla cookies before, but then they broke it, and now it's back to the old gorilla cookies, which is excellent in every way 💪👌🤤 I don't know why I don't have an option to put how many dry buds I picked? but I picked 192g of dry buds

First week of flower just lollipoped, minor pruning, selective defoliation. Changed tea brew for flowering, top dressed w/ local raw worm castings

Everything is looking good this week. Added soil on top of pot as I could see roots showing above ground due to excess pull I did when performing LST. Will not pull so much next time. Finally found a way to take nicer pictures.

Doubled the nutes this week, ive never followed the feeding chart because the regular feedings were enough. Since I'm outside and i figured I'd give it more to work with since I am trying to pull an obscene number with the size pot I'm working with and veg time. The nodes on the side branches are sort of reluctant to stretch out, same are big enough to train many aren't but nothing that should concern me. Had some crazy high winds today, I called that free training.

Very good

Die terpene und trichome bilden sich jetzt und es duftet nach Lilien oh ich mag Lilien !!!!

Week 6 starts tomorrow technically this went up at day 41. But I've started every week a day early so far so keeping with tradition we can do this again 😜 Slight purpling of the leaves I'm confident this is due to the cold night temps, I'm getting a heater today to warm her up a bit to try and kick start the growth again, buds are really thickening up, won't be long until they look like buds and not little balls of white hairs! The main Cola looks like she's going to be a big one! Exciting times! Day 42: Week 6 is here! Finally the buildings heating got turned up to a more acceptable level! Night time temps are up (18c), day time temps are up (26c) and I might be imagining it but the plant really responded to not being on the border of whats acceptable! Buds are very visibly forming day by day at the moment, really looking forward to what next week brings! I'm seeing more and more bud sites appearing all over the place, the Main Cola is becoming a decent size, all the secondary colas are growing in but I think she's gonna be heavy on popcorn buds too 😁 I'm wishing I was more experienced because I'd probably be a lot more excited about what she's doing, I assume she's going well but I have no idea how much buds will swell over the next few weeks, I'm just assuming they're going to fill out where the pistils are growing out to if that's the case oooowwweeee I've broken even at least! Loads of pictures gone up today, tried to get a picture of every cola/top that's forming and a decent number of the lower bud sites, that main cola though 😍 One of my main sun leaves has been shaded for about a week and the plant has only just decided to start cannibalising it, going pretty completely yellow and the edges are starting to go brown. I'm now 100% convinced this is because it's not getting light and isn't adding any benefit to the plant. I'll be taking that off in a few days I'm sure. I also have one sun leaf that got burned fairly early on in the grow and is now starting to get pretty seriously burned with each feeding, debating just taking it off too. It's the only leaf looking sick Day 43: Now I've raised the temps it seems a lot more of the nutes in the soil have suddenly become available and there's a bit of Nute burn showing on the plant in various locations, the first few fan leaves that were already burnt are now starting to die off anyway. I think we're getting to that stage where the plant starts cannibalising it'self by nature because those partially burned leaves are starting to look very sick whilst the rest of the plant looks healthy and green. New growth is still a bit purple I'm not sure what to do tomorrow, to feed or not to feed that is the question! Every day the buds are visibly swelling and growing taller, I'm getting more and more excited by the day! I'm uncertain about defoliating this girl, certainly the lower leaves that are dying off need to come off soon, one is completely yellow so I could do that almost any day now, but the burned leaves look like the plant is still taking nutrients out of them so I don't want to take away that valuable source! Top canopy is very bushy so I'm not sure she'd even notice, opening a grow question about this! Day 43: Updated - Tonight I trimmed the dead leaves ONLY (2 total, got nervous after this) there was the yellow leaf that had completely died and would have started to rot soon and one of the very burned leaves had also gone a very sick shade of yellow/green I went around the plant an tucked all the fan leaves covering the bud sites to try and get more light, except by the end of the day the plant had moved those leaves back into place, guess I need to let nature take her course! Tomorrow is a feeding day, she's started showing some early signs of def. in the topmost leaves, looking forward to feeding her and giving her a big boost of growth again 😁 I think we've about 4/5 weeks to go on this girl being ready! Day 44 - Feeding day, 1ml of Bio Bloom in 1 litre of water (750 ml with the mix in then followed behind with another 250 ml clean distilled water to help dilute it down further) this was the first time in a long time I actually got run off! Happy to report the PH at Run off was 6.5 which is pretty darn good! and the PH of the water provided was also 6.5 after nutes and PH balancing. Buds have thickened up again overnight! Day 45 - No pics this morning as I'm in a bit of a rush, will upload tonight, Humidity very high (65%) this morning but she did get a litre of water yesterday, seems to be drinking so much more water than ever before probably ready for a water tomorrow morning already! I think now is the time to stop droughting, the roots should be fairly well established and I want bud production to be the biggest focused, buds have swollen overnight again, the leaf mass is starting to spread out more and airflow is better, mould is a concern but looking to reduce humidity with a humidity pack very soon Day 46- Pistils are now starting to go brown, watering around 1 Litre every 48 hours today was a plain water day and the leaves are starting to turn yellow at the bottom, I understand this is normal for flowing but wonder if it's too early, started grow question regarding this Day 47 - The bud growth is incredibly noticeable! The top cola is starting to take a very nice shape, I've moved the lights around to get the lights closer to the other colas without burning the top one, a feat of engineering in itself! Each day the flowers get bigger and thicker!

Nach dem sich die Pflanze wunderbar ernten ließ. Wenig Sonnensegel und sehr gut zu bearbeitenden Zuckerblätter ein echter Hingucker. Auch die Aromen sind wie schon erwähnt unfassbar Einzigartig mit einem Profil nach Früchten, Zuckerwatte, Energiedrink oder auch gebrannten Mandeln. Wirklich unglaublich dieser Strain! 💚🍭🍇

Dont know why i only have a video but Double Ds are just about hitting 23 with the tallest of the 6 and the DD is about 18 inches at the tallest of the 6 Knats seem to be 100% gone pkants are looking amazing definitely getting to the point of needing water everyday tho so transplant before next update is a must! Going into 2gal

09/18/2021 At battle with catapillar this week Hand picking them off, some bud rot caused by catapillar's . Light defoiliating dying, yellowing leaves. Hand picking is tedious but well worth the effort. Feeding neptunes harvest 2-3-1 this is last week of feeding. Drinking lots of water this week gave each plant 2.0 gallons of Neptunes Harvest 2-3-1 hope it works out couldn't find fox farms, or big buds but I'm sure they will be fine.....will feed again on Friday then plain water for 3-4 weeks till harvest. Feeding should get them through the next two weeks then watering plain water should flush anything not needed by plants. Girls are thirsty this week, just in time for feeding! Neptunes Harvest seems to do the trick. Pistils piling on like crazy so one more feeding on Friday Of 2-3-1 and Week 7-8 banana peel tea, she should start Fattening up,and fading nicely by week 8-9.🙏🏻 The NPK value for banana skins is 0.6-0.4-11.5. But this is the value for dried banana skins. (I will make tea from peels) not sure of N-P-K Is for peel tea? But it works well in my opinion. Day # 6 week 6 applied gypsum today gypsum should help a little with PH issues,7.0 a little to alkaline but she will grow, but she thrive at 6.2 PH

So it looks like only one is flowering the other one looked like it was starting but then went back into veg im just going to roll with it and see what happens the one that is flowering is the one with grow dots in soil and I only add cal mag once or twice a week don’t mind other plants in pic the one that is flowering is coming along nicely though

Final da semana 2, planta com 15 dias desde seu nascimento em 6 de Agosto. Aparentemente já poderia ter aumentado o feed para algo próximo de 1.5, coisa que farei ao longo dessa próxima semana
