Hey there, fellow cultivator! Super stoked to share the deets on my latest pheno hunt sponsored by the awesome Anesia Seeds. Massive shoutout to them for hooking me up with a bunch of killer genetics, including Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the almost mythical Red Banana Pudding. It's like Christmas came early with those seeds! So, here's the lowdown on my germination game. I went old-school with the water soak, letting those seeds party for about 42 hours until they cracked and showed off their taproots. Then, I gently transferred them to a cozy root riot in a small pot, sprinkling some Aptus Holland Mycormix magic to give those roots a VIP welcome. All this went down in a mini greenhouse dome, 'cause these babies deserve a superstar entrance. Now, why the water dance and the root riot ritual? Buckle up for the benefits ride: Water Soak: This gets those seeds in the mood for germination. It's like a wake-up call for the sleeping beauties, ensuring they're hydrated and ready to kick off their journey. Root Riot with Aptus Holland Mycormix: Think of this as a five-star hotel for your roots. The mycormix acts as a friendly guide, helping the roots explore the soil universe. It's like giving your plants a GPS for optimal growth. Greenhouse Dome: It's like a VIP club for your seedlings. This microclimate ensures they stay cozy and protected as they sprout into the world. Massive thanks to Aptus Holland, my main sponsor and the rockstars behind the only organic mineral line I trust. These guys know their stuff when it comes to plant nutrition, and my green buddies are gonna thrive, no doubt. Huge gratitude to Future Of Grow for the LED love. Those photons are gonna be like disco lights for my plants, giving them the energy they need to flex and flourish. And let's not forget Grow Diaries! This is where the magic unfolds, and I'll be documenting every twist and turn of this grow journey. Big shoutout to the community โ€“ you guys are the real MVPs! So, here's to a groovy, green adventure ahead. Thanks, Anesia Seeds, for trusting me with these genetics. Let the grow games begin!

My feathery friends came to check on me and my plants while I was harvesting and washing my harvest. ๐Ÿฆƒโค๏ธ I washed everything with a mixture of lemon juice and natriumbicarbonate and rinsed it with two buckets of clean water. Hung it to dry in a room with a dehumidifier and a ventilator.

Week 6 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishes in Bloom! Greetings once more, fellow cultivators! Week 6 with our illustrious Big Cheese Auto is like watching a floral masterpiece unfold, and the thrill is escalating. Kudos to Seeds Mafia for these genetics that keep delivering wonders. Our green queen is dancing through her second week of flowering, and oh, the elegance! It's like a choreography that only Mother Nature could compose. The Autopot system is still the unsung hero, allowing our star to sip on her terms. It's like the perfect rhythm for a flawless dance. P-Boost and Topbooster, our dynamic duo, continue to work their magic. Picture it like a nutrient wizardry, with organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, and a bouquet of trace elements and natural stimulants enhancing the bloom. The anticipation for those luscious, aromatic buds is becoming palpable. Our TDS is maintaining a harmonious 390, and the pH, a symphony at 6.0. It's like hitting the sweet spot in a musical composition. The Autopot and the nutrients are working together in a synchronized dance for our Big Cheese Auto. The leaf-bending symphony continues, creating an even canopy that basks in the natural light. Defoliation is on the horizon, like a spring cleaning for our green sanctuary. Ensuring she receives ample light for those inner buds to flourish. oh she is by far the biggest gir in the room , check the raw video OMG what a beast <3 <3 <3 As always, a colossal thank you to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries. Your collective support is the force behind this flourishing green odyssey. As we step into the next week, the excitement is electric. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's thriving. I'm eager to witness the bloom spectacle that awaits. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together!

March 17, Day 76: As written I collected the last three plants. At the moment I got a partial of 224 grams from the first three plants and I think of doubling with the last three. Among the latter is the plant with the largest bud which obviously becomes my favorite. This time I managed to take photographs of the plants before cutting them. With these last three plants I got the most productive plant, the one with the largest bud and the one with the longest bud ๐Ÿ˜‰ For a final report on this strain: The Gorilla by RQS is an excellent strain for anyone who loves a high THC content and I particularly recommend it to growers who pass for the first time from photoiperiods to autoflowering. You will grow very large and very productive plants very similar to photoperiodic ones. This strain branches out a lot and must be defoliated and de-branched. You can grow it well with the SCROG technique, but if like me you have no space problems you can also use the Sea Of Green technique. In conclusion I want to thank all the growers who have followed this my first diary to which I have a happy growth! A big thanks also to GrowDiaries and to the whole team for having created the best social network dedicated to the world of growers ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜‰ March 24 Final Report: Hi growers, with this last post I'm going to close my first diary. First I have to say that I am very satisfied with the total harvest, from the last three plants I got 369 grams which added to the 224 of the previous harvest make a total of 593 grams. I started this diary with 8 Gorillas and 2 Cheese. 6 Gorillas completed their cycle in the same time frame, the 2 remaining gorillas showed a photoperiodic genetic predominance, one of them is in an advanced flowering phase while the last one after three months still shows only a few pistils. I'll probably kill her, and move on by putting new seeds in the soil. Unfortunately, where I live is illegal to grow marijuana, otherwise I would have simply moved outdoors, but I can't and must be ruthless. Regarding the two cheeses there is not much left at the end of their cycle and I started to give only water to one of the two plants. Good and happy growth to all! ๐Ÿ˜œ

this week you get shit pictures cause never any sun here. plants are doing well, as soon as i flipped the pineapple had white hairs very next day. the shiskaberry still has no white hairs but is stretching and catching up to the pineapple. its only been a week since my mass defoliation and it looks like i didnt even trim anything( will have to re-trim week 3 of flower) i also bought an ac infinity exhaust fan for better circulation,and i will be buying a dehumidifier this week. i might start a scrog today ,its kind of late but if anything it will be support for the buds.

Bud sites are starting to form and I like how solid the stems are on this small stock. I'm expecting huge colas on this one so I'm keeping her grow under control and aiming for multiple sticky colas on this girl she smells amazing! This week all plants but the Sweet Tooth will be getting Massive nutrients from Green Planet which does wonders for getting those fat colas.

Three cuttings, one off the top and two lowest branches to go in the White Banana Feminised Greenhouse! Love the look and structure of this strain should be a good smoke! One new seedling and hopefully another next week! I will be using STS to back cross and produce feminised seeds for sale!

1/29 Week 5 She is just doing so well! Cant wait to see what she does in flower. Dropping CocoTek to 5ml and increasing run off as some white tips are showing 1/30 She now at 14 inches 2/1 Chiana now at 15 inches Major defoliation last night at lights out. Removed perhaps 25-40% or leaf mass on her to allow them to stay in the tent another two weeks. It was time to learn the process anyway, took a compromise path to doing it, some recommended taking more some less.

Day 79 - Another week passes, not much to post, normal feeding, 1000 ppm 6.2 PH, normal lights, the girls are fattening up nicely...... ๐Ÿ˜Ž Day 84 - some pics/vids.... pics of a Test Bud (ready for curing)......doing some experimentation..... read up about drying and curing, but i don't have a set method, so test abit..... never grown bud before..... ๐Ÿ‘ my tent is really small, i think 50x120x160 or something... and it's tight in there, i have no other source of herb, so i'm going to start getting into the smaller one, and focus the light on the larger one..... i've been trimming and drying all during the grow.... there's really only enough room for the big one, and it's really squishy in the tent........ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hola, esta semana hice una pequeรฑa defoliacion . Creo que deberia haberla hecho antes. Todo va bien aunque no estoy conforme con la cantidad de flores y su tamaรฑo. Tuve algunas dificultades con el riego las semanas anteriores y creo que se nota en el desarrollo de las flores. Pero bueno, hay que seguir y aprender para la proxima. Saludos!
