4x4 #1 | Plants are starting to stack bud formations, in week 5 flower 4x4 #2 | Plants are starting to show pistils this week & a active stretch, in week 2 flower Gyat is very easily managed and both phenotypes are looking great, even the 'finicky' plant Scat Queen is a herm and both phenos, I'm still going to run them.. they look good other than. The pheno in week 5 flower smells really good and overall structure is nice but seeded and I'm seeing the 2nd pheno starting to show the same traits.. this experiment shows it's not a stable cross from Elev8 just by the fact every other plant isn't giving this problem and its a 100% rate in 2 different tents. Did some shuffling & added a smaller plant, Sherbie Truffle by Detroit Seed Co in the front right next to Gyat to the left -it is a week behind the others but will fill the space nice. ( Scat Queen back left, Gyat back right and front left, Sherbie Truffle front right ) Keeping the flow smooth growmies 😎

moved under hps day 19: topped at 3rd node

October 24, 2018, watered all plants. October 25, 2018 topped 3 plants for the 2nd time. GDP#2 did not do 2nd topping. October 27, 2018 watered all plants. GDP #2 was root bound, transplanted into one gallon pot. Bagseed #2 roots were peeking out of holes, transplanted in 2 gallon pot. GDP #1 roots are peek at the pot holes, will be transplanting very soon. Today is October 28, 2018, minimal defoliating. Going to allow plants to grow a bit without much defoliating. My goal is to get height of 1 foot to 1.5 foot before I begin flower stage since they double/triple in height then. I removed all items plants were sitting on for height. Lights are 18 inches from top of plants. When watering, ph is 6.2, temp 75F, ppm differs due to which week I am in for nutes. Today is November 2, 2018, I watered all plants with only cal-mag, no other nutes, ph 6.2. No pics yet, waiting a few days.

So at the start of the week I did what everyone says not to with autos; top/fim em!! As I said this is 💯 an experiment so, why not?? The last pic and vid are 3 days after topping

Clones took out of dome 5 days ago soil was made 2 hot and got a bit of deformed leaves not looking so good as there fresh clones just rooted let's see what they look like in a week

October 28, 2021 Doing my weekly diary updates a couple days early this week. This weekend I'm doing some work on the basement to finally finish the last of the construction projects for the Dude Cave!!! Once finished, I have a new 2x3 tent and a Viparspectra XS2000 (240w LED) that will be set up next week. Then I'll run the 2x3 for veg/autos and the 2x4 for photos. I spoke with Dylan from Coast of Maine today about my experience and issues with these girls. He said with a 3 gallon pot the Stonington Blend would only feed for around 3 weeks and additional nutrition should be fed starting around the 3rd week. He recommended the Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food as a top dress and then also adding Fish Bone Meal around week 6 (assuming autoflower and 10-12 weeks seed to harvest). He also said to go seed to harvest with the Stonington Blend adding water only would require at least 7-10 gallon pots for autos. Well, I already knew they were malnourished/underfed and I have been feeding Fox Farm Big Bloom and Neptunes Harvest Fish and Seaweed. I'm not sure how much these nutes may help at this point, but they can't hurt. I really have nothing to lose here, so let's see what they look like next week.

Another good week generally speaking. The girls are drinking a lot but nothing crazy. Things are wrapping up here in this tent shortly. This Gorilla Cookie will go the longest out of the group and will push everyone else out. She looks good but no smell that I can tell Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Start of week 6 day 1 Stopped the floranova bloom feeding And switched to ripen @600ppm The ripen feed takes 10days In 10 days we are at week 7 day 3,then i flush for 3 days and we are at week 8 ready for harvest. There is so much frost and the smell u wouldnt believe it ohh myy God ! Im sooo happy i took 4 clones of her. Im doing a diary of those under a stronger light if u are interested in bigger yield of this, thanks for stopping by i hope yall at least try this once this will definitly be your favorite smoke i cant explain how good this one smells

So we're in week 3 veg , they've mostly outgrown their mutated leaves now and looking strong.

* harvest: 8 weeks veg. 60 days flowering * pot size: 10liter air-pot * dry bud yield: 59gram * Appearance: the most frosty buds i have ever seen in my life. Its shining like a diamond. I could look at them all day * Bud density: 10/10 * Aroma : smelling like gas with a mix of ripe peaches * Taste : damn the peach terps are insane on the inhale, a strong gas taste on the exhale * Potency : 10/10 * Kind of high: next level strong, like you are smoking extracts * Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 20% amber 80% milky * Drying time: 10 days in the dry tent, curing 10 days * Good comments: This has to be the frostiest plant i have ever grown, the trichome/resin production on this plant is insane and never seen before. Also one of the prettiest plants i have grown, the leaves turned out completely dark purple/black at the end of flower. The terpenes on this plant are incredible. Im super impressed by this seedbank and i will definitly grow more from them. * bad comments: this pheno wasnt a heavy yielder but thats ok, quality over quantity

If you’ve got a bit of time and some ice, it’s really a fun thing to do. It’s also a great way to make use of every part of the plant

Crecen fuertes. Detecte una mosca blanca :c

no problems at all, as usual if things are dialed in but just as long as it is. i did not change water yet, i fill it up every morning until water reaches the plastic pot. The water is ph corrected 5.5-6.5 somewhere around that with the same nutes but in lower concentration so it adds up to 1000ppm

They've started to grow their first sets of leaves and although temperature was a little higher than I'd liked they're coming along nicely. You can see the difference from just three days growth and then 3 days afer that! Adding a small amount of bio canna vega and molasses.

Watering about once every 4 days

All good so far, will need to lower ph next feed. Lights have been dropped down to intensify currently putting out 500ppfd at 60cm

Mid week update. My cannatrol came in yesterday. I also started a free Gelato 41 seed from NASC on Aug 9th. Unfortunately, not knowing the power of my heating mat, I cooked it. So, onto the free Strawberry Gorilla Autos seed from fastbuds on Aug 12th. Insane growth already. All this being said, this plant is no longer on its own timeline. Trichomes are indicating a possible 2 additional weeks wouldn't hurt, but also, it's in a fair harvesting window. So, as an experiment, I did some high stress training. A very heavy strip. Lower bud sites and very congested areas will get these final few days of light. The plant might show some serious stress either positively or negatively to this method. All the sugar leaves I had removed, (which otherwise would've been compost or trash) and a bud and 2 or 3 small ones, were thrown into the cannnatrol. 4 days of drying and 4 days of curing. Truly, the Strawberry Gorilla is in control of this grow now. If, in 4 days I need the space, the plant will come down. If not, I will let my new toy finish it's cycle and chop the day its done. 8 days from now. Already foxtailing, shall we see if she try to throw nanners and herm? Or will she respond in a manner were in her final days she puts her energy into weight and trichome production? Time will tell...
