She is growing healthy and strong....

Week 7 of Flower- We have stopped feeding these plants nutrients and began the flushing process. April 4th we will give them 2 days of darkness and then April 6th we will start the drying process.

On Day 92 i mixed 8l of water with 8ml of alfa boost 8ml of blüh boost some supervite some alg a mic 8ml of calmag some melasse and 40ml of powerzyme. The left one i gave 2.5l and the right one i gave 2.3l . After a gave 700ml of this solution an lemon cheery i have. I added 8ml of bloom complex to the 2l rest solution and fed 1.5l to my right plant as well as 0,5l to the lemon cherry. Than i added one Coup of feeding bloom to the soil of the right plant. On Day 93 i had to take the left one out of her net and mesured the drain which had an ec of 3.4 and an ph of 6 8 so i had to flushe her with 30l of water ph 6.3. After i flushed her the ec was on 0.8. So tomorrow i will Mesure the drain again and if ec still low i will give her some Light nutrient Mixtur with some Lab. On Day 95 i transplanted the overfeeded one in an 50l pot mixed with some mycoryzha and bio feeding bloom. Then i mixed 7l with 20ml of Lab 20ml of alfa boost some melasse and some supervite as well as an ph of 6.7. I gave the left one 2l and the right one 5l. On Day 97 i flushed the left one with 18l because the drain ec was to high. Now its on 2. On Day 98 i gave her 2l of water with 6ml of calmag biobizz 4ml of Alfa boost some alg a mic some melasse and 4ml of LAB as well as 4drips of supervite.

Chopped the plant on day 78, mostly milky trichomes, a few amber and clear. I couldn't get the root trouble under control and this ruined the whole grow, did a root wash and trim twice but it did not help. With this little roots it is a wonder the plant grew to what it was. Can't blame this on Sweet Seeds, was a problem on my end, just want to make this clear. Will try again in the future.

Magnificent plant! Sooo, sooo resinous, covered in trichomes and smells super-citrusy - kind of like lemon scented Geranium 🍋 Small but mighty hard buds. This is one of the most trichome producing flowers I have ever seen. I'm in love 😍 Breeder did great job here!

So here we are Growmies, we arrived at the long-awaited flowering period. Basically this week wasn’t as busy as the previous ones. Watered twice but apart from that there is not much happened. I tucked the longer branches under the net. Light intensity is 75% now. I didn’t even make photos at the beginning of the week. Exciting times are coming so we hope the Sisters keep their good health and happiness.🌱😎🗽

👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

One of the gorilla glues was seriously slacking behind just removed it from the bunch The rest seem to be OK day 16 from bean splitting open

Everything looking fine so far. I gave them a little amount liquid grow enzymes with distilled water on 19.04. what seemed to boost the growth. If You have any tipps or recommendations feel free to let me know.

This is the last day of her life. Shes getting a bath of sun with 40c outside. After she will finish in the dark until i harvest her tomorrow Shes trying to get pollinated by throwing some new pistils here and there, but trichomes are cloudy mostly with amber tone. Not a lot of clear one.

Dieser Versuch läuft verdamt gut. Sie wächst relativ schnell und scheint jetzt dichte Buds zu bilden. Was mir nicht so ganz gefällt, sind die unteren Blätter. Es scheint, als wäre sie sehr hungrig. Aber das war die Sorte in den vorherigen Runs auch. Die Blätter Farben sich bei ihr immer ca 2 Wochen vor der Ernte bunt.

All going well apart from burnt the tips a little bit with there weekly treats. Nothing to worry about Harvested cosmic queen 5.1.25 70 days Purple lemonade 11.1.25. 77 days

Day 59 of flower, last day of light. Gonna give 48hrs of bro science darkness then chop. The smell from this tent is dam near unfathomable. Extreme and complex fruits. Punchberry cookies legit smells like Hawaiian Punch, and the lemon berry candy og smells like sour lemon skittles. Go figure

Bit of a crazy week so I changed her nutes 8 days later instead of 7. 12/22- 3 gallons, did 1.5 ml/gal of micro instead of usual 1.9 ml/gal bc I know she's sensitive to nitrogen so we'll see how she does. forgot to write down ppm. I think it was 600-650. Looking healthy. RIP Ellie. I love you.

She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize growth before flowering and to prevent (hopefully) them going hermie on me, which both Gorillas and Orange Hill Special are prone to. I have made a video to thank them for letting me use their SP-3000. What a beast of a light!! Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for letting me test this awesome light! I have made a new layer of topsoil made of organic coco-peat, which should help me prevent more fungus gnats. They already seem to hate it and are wandering around in agony trying to dig in... Good for them, freeloading beastards. Now we go to flowering coming weeks, and I can't wait... Thanks for checking in and the likes and support!
