This plant plus one more started to wilt earlier on in the week, I figured it was probably time to transplant seeing as they had been in the solo cups for 2 weeks. After transplant plants seemed to be happy again. I introduced amino acids this week as well. They are getting the grease spray and drench program

Had an unexpected 50 mph thunderstorm strike last Tuesday. It broke one Sour Strawberry plant in half. The RuntzLayerCake was bent over thirty degrees. Many limbs broken and bent on the plants. I had to duct tape several main stems as youโ€™ll see in the video. The four caged plants proved stability for the others. Second grow. Lesson learned. All the plants are now trussed with string and are very healthy. Thanks for looking in this week, and let me know your thoughts.

Test FBA 2503 โ€“ 42Fast Buds 68 days from seed โ€” and weโ€™ve reached the final stage: harvest time! Although the plant didnโ€™t grow very big, it truly impressed us โ€” the buds are dense, large (as big as a fist!), and absolutely drenched in sticky resin. The pinkish hue of the buds gives this beauty an extra touch of elegance โ€” she looks stunning! But the most striking thing is the smell. Itโ€™s incredibly strong, sharp, and long-lasting. Our girl has a seriously intense chemical scent โ€” it fills the entire grow tent instantly and lingers for hours. Not for the faint of heart! From the beginning, we focused on giving her everything she needed: a well-balanced substrate, a stable environment, and, of course, proper nutrition. Huge thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their powerful line of fertilizers โ€” they played a key role in helping this plant reach its full potential, delivering impressive trichome production, vibrant colors, and strong structure. And special thanks to 42Fast Buds for the opportunity to test this unique and powerful autoflower โ€” itโ€™s been an amazing experience! Harvest results coming soon โ€” stay tuned!

Scratch what I said at the end of last week pests are still around just had some bug fly at me and bite/sting me on the neck now a got a welt on my neck smh, not sure what the heck it was it was some sort of black bug maybe a thrip but I honestly have no idea, did another neem oil drench on the medium only and tomorrow I'm going to use a hydrogen peroxide mixture again that way I can also use it on the tops and undersides of the leaves as well. Some of the roots started to become exposed on the top soil so I added more an inch or two coco to cover the exposed roots. Another successful week I guess the plants aren't dead so onto week 9, Week 4 of flower

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 Juiceโ€™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 โ€œstir vigorouslyโ€ 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-itโ€™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, Letโ€™s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

Bud sites are swelling nicely, Iโ€™m guessing they will really go for it over the next 2 weeks which is when Iโ€™m guessing harvest will be. Maybe 3 weeks. I have nute burn as you can see from the tips, so will be feeding just water next feed and with a slight lower ph to also lower it a little as the run off is 7 currently. Pot drying out every 2/3 days. Taking 2.5 litres Day 58 Noticed some brown spots on the tips or leafs and Margins Iโ€™m guessing K deficiency, also most leafs are now going a yellow/light shade of green so my thinking is itโ€™s hungry and Iโ€™m under feeding so gonna be upping the pk boost and bloom for the remaining 2 weeks.

Grown outdoors no nutrients just tap water (about 1Gal/day) on the days with no rain... usually around noon when I can see them sag and the weather forecast doesn't predict rain for the rest of the day. I add Terpinator (30mL/Gal) when I water manually. โ€ขThis week, since they're in full bloom and the weather cooperates (plants are outside and shouldn't rain for at least the next 24h) I will give them a dose of SuperThrive... 2020 was an exceptionally warm summer in Quebec. Seeded on May 20th Sprouted on May 23rd Kept in nursery (watered with tap water + B1 vitamin (3ml/L) until Transplanted outside June 16th Bloomed August 19th @ 6' tall No Technique applied, she grows as she feels the needs.

All and all the plant was great but I would probably not grow again. It had a much slower flower time and really struggled.

Hello Growers & Tokers! The route to having a jungle starts with the roots! That's why my main goal in those first 14-21 days is developing the root system. I like to give them time to expand the roots which is very important for a healthy plant. That also gives them more time to get bigger and stronger before going into flower. More growth, more bud sites, more buds. Trust me the wait is worth the reward. We'll be seeing some truly sweet and zenzational flowers. This week they got transplanted to their final pot, 11L fabric pots. It's one step closer to getting that jungle, zenzational! Medium used was Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let the mycorrhizae do its job and take over the soil, then the roots just follow. Take care out there and happy growing!

๐ŸŒฑโœจ Hey friends, check out these gorgeous bushes! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ€ At just 8 weeks old, theyโ€™re already looking absolutely stunning ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’š. Our girls are thriving, feeling their best ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒž, and getting ready to bloom ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Weโ€™re working hard to tilt them ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”„ and grow them horizontally ๐ŸŒฑโœจ so that every single bud ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž can soak up as much sunlight โ˜€๏ธ as possible during the flowering period. This strategy ensures even growth and helps maximize their potential! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿƒ Itโ€™s going to be a beautiful sight ๐ŸŒŸ, and we canโ€™t wait to see them in full bloom. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒž Keep following along for more updatesโ€”you wonโ€™t want to miss the magic! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ“”๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’šโœจ
