Sorry busy week. They are getting close. Just turned the lights down 20% to simulate fall for last couple weeks. Will add ice in 6 days to flush.

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Gorilla Cookies continues to smell and is very sticky. It is a tall and lanky plant but look at the heavy buds weighing down the stems. It should be ready to take down in a couple of weeks. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

things are still on the go..Looking at the tricomes the are still clear with hints of cloudy.. Coming along pretty well. Im just watering with plain water now and just enough for a light runoff. Ec is low already and I don't think I can get it to anything less. Just doing routine maintenence this week. There has been no change in the colour of the leaves and this is the 11th day of. plain water.. Its all a waiting game.. I also changed the light schedule to a 11-13...... its supposed to help in trichome ripening... I hope. 😀 The vanilla Kush looks ready but I'm not sure. If anyone has an opinion on how much longer please share

Looking good,hope she will become a monster MUST READ: it was my mistake and I caught it early because it was a waste of time. I broke the root of it at the beginning as I was planting it in the soil.So this is the new one

Asal got a trim to open up the air flow and a LST to spread the canopy a little more. Thinking I am done with the lateral spread at this point. Benesh got the same treatment. Asman has been taking the hits when I have overdone the LSTing. Thank goodness for masking tape and time to repair!

420Fastbuds GelatoAuto Week8 What up grow fam weekly update on these 3 gorgeous girls. Getting super hot in my tent as summer time is here. Over all besides some crispy leaf tips and having to water more frequently all is good.

Hey now, this week went pretty good, she grew 6 inches to 22" tall, so I am going to veg her for one more week and then flip her to flower next week. She seems to be fairly healthy, but she is not growing super fast like I am used to, but I also have only grown autoflowers and mainly sativa dominant autos. I don't think this Planet of the Grapes will stretch too much being an indica dominant plant, but I have another 24 inches of usable space for her to grow if needed. I am getting super excited to see what this little lady can do in flower. My plan is to flip the lights next week, but continue with veg nutes for another week, then slowly start to transition her to flower nutes in the 2nd week of flowering, and be totally switched over and adding bloom boosters by week 3 of flower. I hope everyone had a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, be safe and blaze on!

The signs of light bleaching (=snow white tops) are increasing during week 7. (see in video) The light is so strong that the top of the buds start to grow white instead of green....looks almost like a snow-cap. 😄 All 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS are devloping GREAT...they produce more and more flowers EVERY day. The trichome production is now in full swing as well, the plants get stickier every day. The 9 plants on the left under the LUMATEK PRO 600W are a little bit lighter in color and less uniform than the 9 plants on the right side under the two Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-lamps from SANlight. The plants on the right have a darker , more healthier color and are VERY UNIFORM, all have almost the EXACT SAME SIZE. The aroma inside the HOMEBOX-tent gets stronger now as well...I love the 'hazy' smell of the plants...very enticing! 😍 This week I add some Orgatrex (40 ml/liter) and Bacterex (2 gram/liter) to my watering, since BIOTABS recommend to do that in their feeding schedule.

Very nice stretch! This girl actually looks like the plants I have been trying to grow (for this stage). Still dialing in the nutes for consistent growth. Light defoilation only, skipping LST for this baby. Probably just good genetics on this one rather than any skill on my part.

Day 1 to 3 was a battle with very high humidity

This week is going great. Buds are becoming dense, pretty sure by the end of the week I’m gonna have to add a few bamboo sticks for support. The smell has definitely increased tri comb development has gone crazy new amber ones has already started forming and by the end of the week I’ll look at tri comb development again to see if more has gotten cloudy or amber as I will start to flush when I see 70% amber

Flipped

Muy bien fast Buds

seeds germinate in rockwool untill roots hit the water i only use calmag and small amount of nutes

This was the last week I will give them 3 more days to finish Then i will try to dry them for minimal 1 week .

Video quality is so so for closeups with GoPro. Both phenos are super fire 2 more watering and will be flushing for about two weeks should take me near harvest at week 9-10. Mars Hydro FC4800 dimmed at 300w, will help lower temps and bring out those colours.
