Day 107 (f45) update: She is coming along well! Was much in need of the day 42 defoliation as her fat fan leaves were blocking nearly all the light... Now the mid section is clearly under developed and more light green colored however since the defoliation the overall bud production is picking up in the mid section. In hindsight with this strain I should have removed more growth shoots at the start of flower (and more leaves at the week 3 defoliation) because currently most of the volume of the plant's flowers is in her mid/lower section... 😅 Her smells are doing well!! They didn't change much in the past week however the smell became stronger and when I rub the buds and then rub my fingers together I get some nice kushy fuely dank smells very much looking forward to smelling her after a good 2 month cure! 😛😛😎 She was showing slight nutrient burn and deficiencies so did a res change and lowered the nutrient dosage. Trying Botanicare TEA and SWEET RAW supplements to gain in terpenes... Hopefully it will be noticeable in the end result 😜 By the looks of it, at least 3 weeks left till harvest! Looking forward to it!!! 😀😀😀

Week 8: Flowering Stage Rising Temperatures and Weather Challenges The temperatures are expected to rise slightly this week, but intermittent thunderstorms and heavy rain are also forecasted. This unpredictable weather presents a challenge, but I remain hopeful for continued growth. Snail Attack I had been leaving the plants outside overnight, but during a late-night check, I found three giant slugs feasting on my Gorilla Cookies buds. These damn snails just won't give up. I'm seriously considering installing some kind of automatic deterrent system. Feeding and Watering Consistency The amount of water and nutrients remains unchanged. Each plant continues to receive 3 liters of nutrient solution in their 11-liter pots to prevent salt buildup and ensure optimal growth. Growth Observations Banana Purple Punch and Blue Dream: Both strains seem to have halted their vertical growth. They are now fully focused on bud development. Tangie: This plant is still vigorously growing with new shoots appearing everywhere. Tangie seems perfect for low-stress training (LST) and could probably handle a well-timed topping without issues. I had to do some light defoliation to make sure everything receives enough light. Gorilla Cookies: While it’s not growing as aggressively as before, it is concentrating on flowering. Despite this, it continues to gain some height. Looking Ahead As the flowering stage progresses, I'm eager to see how the plants adapt to the changing weather conditions and how they continue to develop. Despite the challenges, the plants are showing resilience, and the buds are looking promising. Update 18.07: Pest Problems Bad news, growmies. During my daily inspection today, I discovered some unwelcome pests. Some leaves on all the plants had white or silver dots, which I suspect are caused by thrips. The Banana Purple Punch plant was particularly affected, with numerous black dots on the top buds, likely aphids. I had to remove two small buds 😞. To combat this, I brought all the plants inside for a thorough shower and removed any affected leaves. I then sprayed them with a light neem oil solution, taking care to avoid the buds to prevent affecting their taste. The Banana Purple Punch plant has been isolated to prevent further infestation. I'm open to any advice or suggestions on how to handle this situation more effectively. What else do you think I should do? Update 21.07 The heat has been intense lately, with temperatures soaring to around 31°C (88°F). Despite this, my garden is showing remarkable resilience. After battling thrips and aphids, my plants are bouncing back. The Tangie, Blue Dream, and Gorilla Cookies no longer display any signs of thrip damage on their leaves. It seems the light neem oil solution has done the trick. However, my Banana Purple Punch remains a bit of a mystery. This strain appears particularly sensitive to nutrients, even though all my plants receive the same care and feeding. While the other plants look lush and vibrant, the Banana Purple Punch shows some troubling symptoms. Some leaves exhibit early signs of nitrogen toxicity, while others curl upwards with no apparent nutrient burn at the tips. Additionally, the large fan leaves are yellowing. Despite these issues, the buds are frosty and thriving. I recently checked the trichomes and found that most are still clear, even on my Blue Dream, which already has a promising main bud. It's clear that patience will be rewarded with this beauty 😍

Trained hard AF this week. Couldnt have done it without the help of my man apollo creed and rocky's face. The real credit belongs to the montage though. Without it we would still be watching rocky II wondering who was gonna win.

This strain is done fast. Cut down at 50 days.

Have not been disappointed by this strain, from start to finish! Blown away by her resilience. Very smelly girl, literally has my mouth watering 🤤 Nugs are really solid and dense, they have been the best I've grown so far. RQS have done an excellent job 🤯🤯

Ideally you want to drastically up your PK Week 5 of flower. Unfortunately adding PK late last week forced me to ramp up by 2ml/gal every day until 9 ml/gal to avoid shocking the plants. These plants were growing super bushy despite being Sativa dominant. Definitely played it too safe Week 3, gonna go heavy next run.

Lots of wind and electric storms this week but they're still growing up, I did a defoliation and still watering with fish, roots and bio bloom from biobizz. Mucho viento y tormentas eléctricas pero siguen creciendo bien. He hecho una defoliacion y sigo regando solo con biobizz. Cuando este en plena floracion le metere BloomBastic.

12/31: They are both coming along nicely.👍 Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1. 1/3: I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day. I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting. Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual. I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production. 1/4: I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today. 1/5: Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

Week 8 as of yesterday, January 8, 2025. Today is day one (1) of Week 9. If anyone has any suggestions as to whether or not I should Harvest the one plant, please help. With Mephisto Genetics' new releases there is no picture of what the plant should look like when finished and believe it or not, I am still new at this.

White Runtz has been the biggest plant out of all the SOG plants this run. It has large leaves and a large body to go with All of the plants have really taken off. Usually I have a couple plants that are much smaller but all of these plants are getting huge. Seeing I got a new eluefah uap1 500 the other day and I have my 2 fastbuds plants under that now I have my spider farmer light free. So I popped up another 2x2 and moved 3 of the 10 plants into the 2x2 and left the 7 other in the 2x4.

Great grow, dealt with some pests that took a few plants from me . But overall my best grow quality so far and I’m very happy with the grow!

Respect for all of you, brother farmers! masters and beginners! thank you again for gathering on the pages of my diaries! we carry out our work with dedication and live on ambitions! come on guys!🙌👽🙌

Harvest was quick and painless!) At this point, the plant hangs upside down and dries slowly.

23/07/2025 20:20 Gorilla Z Is officially in the preflower stage this One stayed pretty small so i don't expect a lot of g when It comes to harvest time First days of the frostbanger in the spot,transplanted Easy and i think Is gonna be great weed from her,showing signs that it's going to flower soon on her 15th day WTF??? EC Is higher than usual because i added honey and Epson salt on It,i want to give a kick to the bioactivity of the soil

I’m getting close to harvest; I’ve already done a root flush on the most advanced plants. I’ll try to do it gradually, both due to time and to avoid excess humidity, since where I live the lowest I can get, even with everything open, is around 50%. I’m also applying a foliar preventive treatment against fungi. Additionally, instead of watering lightly and frequently, I’m trying to water less and keep the soil dry for more days. The leaves are starting to change color, a sign that harvest time is approaching. I have a carbon filter, but they still give off a smell that’s hard to hide.

I have forced flower a few days ago so not to overbush her when she stretches in this period in going to stick her down in this first week of flower to keep her lower to the soil and opening her up it also hardens out the branches to support the buds better Day 33 pinned her down just 2 nodes further down the line so the stay horizontal
