Doing her thing. I gave her quite a heavy trim, noticed a LOT of leaves around main cola. Hopefully light can penetrate into the main cola now. Trichomes going cloudy now.

Week 3 for our banana purple punch 👊 from fastbuds 🍁 We removed the 2 lower branches and leaves. We gave some master root this week. Some of the plants already showed the first preflowers, flowering is starting soon! We also placed a net above just in case we need to sustain the buds in later flowering

*******Week 5 - January 6 to 12, 2020 She entered flower this week. First 2/3s were transition and she was finicky at this time.....still is at the end of the week.....or at minimum certainly not on an autopilot at this point. No issues of anything but for IPM, Friday she was sprayed with Plant Therapy by Lost Coast. Mixed at 2ml/L. Done at lights out but was a little slow and ended up spraying about 20 minutes after lights out. Things seemed fine and she had great growth over Saturday night. The first part of the week the growth was not as vertical. By the end of the week she had shot up. Finally feel comfortable removing some leaves now and there was a slight defoliation this week. Now should have a good form to her with four tops competing for the “top spot”......no FIM either........LST works👋. Expect to see more vertical growth this week. She was 16” tall and 24” wide by weeks end. Tied her down twice this week. She has 2 main stems competing each other, of 4 or 5, but think I will let the two of them duke it out and I will keep them the same height as each other💪😎💪 This strain is supposed to have some fat buds on the AMS and given this girl will not do the same with LST, I will see how these 2 form compared to the other large branches. I still have a couple more seeds from this pack so learning a bit for the future as well.👊 First half of the week she stayed droopy on the lower 2/3’s. Might have been pushing her a bit....a little wet causing droopy and getting pretty green so she is getting the nutes😳😡😳. Dry out day on Thursday and water only on Friday. Backed off the light more and she has taken off finally over the weekend.👊 She has not liked the light at full power at 18”......lowered power and backed off to 40” for a day and she was better. Lowered down again to 28” with HLG at 50% and holding there for now. Still going to sleep about an hour and half before lights out but getting better. We are getting close to half way👏 Little more detail: Mon - Jan 6/20 - Day 29 - 2L water ph 5.5......finished last week a little high. Bringing pH down a bit. - runoff water from last feed 900ppm, 6.1pH. After feed runoff 610ppm, 5.7pH Tues - Jan 7/20 - Day 30 - dry-out day - looking like a ball :) Wed - Jan 8/20 - Day 31 - since nothing yesterday she was fed at 6:30am today. 900ppm with 6.0pH - 1.5L - run-off: 700ppm, 6.0pH - pots were light late in evening and no time next morning.....watered again late today. - 2L in PM with 975ppm, 5.9pH. - run-off: 650ppm, 6.0pH. - small growth removed from lowest branches. They will be blocked anyway. - she is certainly getting greener. Thurs - Jan 9/20 - Day 32 - sick today.....I did nothing for her :( - dry-out day.....pots were still okay in evening......or good enough Fri - Jan 10/20 - Day 33 - she is standing up more today....main branches starting to take off. - water only today......1L with 6.01pH.....kept light.....giving IPM - Spray with Plant Therapy 12:30pm, 2ml/L (2Tbsp/gal) - Everything is fine but I have fought thrips before and have two cats....spray them💀👻💀 Love pets like crazy but even when not allowed in the grow room I still find their hair here and there in my bud shots😇👹😇 Sticky buds love that😥😪 Sat - Jan 11/20 - Day 34 -she is pretty happy today. 4 main stems competing. - pots were light....she is feeding well. - gave 2L feed but DF went in at 2ml/L by mistake..... 1,000ppm, 6.05pH. - Terpinator upped to 3ml/L from 2ml prior. Sun - Jan 12/20 - Day 35 - Huge growth last night....leaves filling out, standing up, and node spacing growing.💪🙏😍 - Flower sites are tight together.....she will stack nicely😛👌 - focus on some supplementals with flower going. - Added Piranha & Voodoo Juice from Advanced....their schedule is first two weeks of flower, 2ml/L - Full 2L feed. Kept the base low. 725ppm, 5.95pH. - Pulled out and stripped a couple more lower inner growth sites. - measured: 16” tall x 24” wide......after tying down....strong week of growth. Coming week is to focus on more the same.....minor changes to temp or humidity....will start cooling off evenings more and decrease humidity range to 55 - 58%. Only three to four more full weeks feeding left......she goes quick with autos😮😮 Considering trying out a real high potassium adaptive to counter act some of the high nitrogen she looks like she experience, to help keep up bud density.......Terpinator should do the same thing though - increase the amount given closer to manufacture recommendations. *****next run keep closer eye on light intensity.....this girl liked to ease into the increased light.

2020-08-03 Had to add some yo-yos as the main colas are getting ripped now. I have had to mash the plant into the tent, it's hogging all the light from plant 2 but oh well, not much I can do now and the yield from Plant 1 will be nice. Running same nutrient ratios still. Plant 02 has never matured into a full drinker, plant 01 is up to a gallon of water a day and is doing great on 800 ppm. 2-3 weeks til harvest!!

Pretty good stuff.

27/04/22 CONTEST TIME! 😍 I'm very happy to announce that I've been selected for "Best Diary of the Year - Edition 2022" 😍😍😍🎉 Third year as grower and first time with this strain. 🙋‍♂️For those that don't know me, I'm a 100% OUTDOOR grower from Italy, great supporter of efficient and simple things; I love experimenting and always learning for my errors and this what I do also when growing 💪 🌱 The candidate for this new diary is a "Ganja Skunk Auto" by Ganja Farmer Seeds. I would like to thank @GanjaFarmerSeeds for sending me these seeds and allowing me to take part to their contest. I will update the diary once a week and in particular the first day of each week. "Day 0" will be assigned when the first leaves will come out from the soil. #OUTDOORGANG #PRAISE_THE_SUN - DD

finished and everything is in the jars taste is nice more like a tangerine 🍊 orange 🍊 not really happy what shows on the scale but still good

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Ok so I'm going too only feed pH water from here on out too force the plants too use up all that's in the soil , I am hoping I can carry them on now for the next 2 weeks like this before they are ripe ,

They are trucking along very strong healthy branches and leaves very impressed with fast buds so far the wedding glue looks like all her pre flowers coming in strong and fast 💪💪

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.

Actually giving up on grow diaries. I cannot update my diaries. Near on every other week now. Taking the piss. I'll update when it lets me. If I miss days. Not my issue. I've had enough of this shitty server now. Day 71 Day 21 Flower 12/07/24 Friday Big feed today, de-chlorinated tap water pH 6.0 5L feed. Run off 5-10%. Day 73 -Water day Day 74 -Water calmag day Day 76 Day 26 Flower 17/07/24 Wednesday Another big feed today, de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with nutes and calmag. Noticed the smell, holy smack. The pungent slaps of lemons is ridiculous, I love it! She is packing on bud sites now 🤩💚 I'll update pictures again later as server keeps kicking them off 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Day 77 Day 27 Flower 18/07/24 Thursday End of week Did another feed today! Using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Having another surge of heat with outside temperature, so she is back to drinking daily 😁 I have updated some pictures. Moving forward next week will be the video entry for competition as I have been holding off till we can show off some buds 😍 Here she goes 💪💚

Day 38 she’s getting to be a big girl. Happy with how she is turning out she was deff a slow starter in the beginning. Really off to a good start now.

It’s going well 😎
