10 /11 Weeks Flower¬¬ It's going to be a long flowering phase! 18/01/2024 Performed a mid-day clean using hydrogen peroxide Moved Spicy Temp to the flower tent Noted that the temperatures are a little high Searching for a new, large heatsink for the CropMaster Pro 1000 to resemble the SK600. Considering modifications to the CropMaster's heatsink as it is currently equipped with a 12-watt fan driver, PC fans, and connected to the LED mains power. It still works well, but planning to replace some LEDs once this grow is completed. Fed 200ml of organic random feed to 5 plants Discovered a sprouted seedling beneath the Forgotten Haze and relocated it to the veg tent 19/01/2024 Noted the arrival of the flowers 20/01/2024 Conducted a mid-day photoshoot Started using natural fertilizer as flowering has commenced, applied 150ml for every 5 liters of water 20-01-2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage, indicating anticipation of a substantial yield 20/01/2024 Performed defoliation before the onset of substantial flowering and cleaned up the lower growth Implemented SCROG (Screen of Green) 22/01/2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage 23/01/2024 No major changes, just observing more leaves and flowers 23/01/2024 Trimmed off the small undergrowth shoots Missed a few of the lower growth shoots 24/01/2024 Gently stretched the plant within the SCROG setup I'm aware that I need to reposition the pot more to the left to ensure the plants stretch evenly from both sides, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit lazy to do it tonight. I'll tackle it first thing in the morning, I promise! Originally, my plan was to have two plants in the set-up, but it turns out that Freaky Pablo is male. And now for a plant-related joke: Why did the Forgotten Haze Cakes go to therapy? Because she had too many hang-ups! _____________________________________ #IT WAS A RIDDLE YA DIDDLE SEE IT- "I was so stoned & baked last night and a little bit pebbled and tripped over a rake and then I finally had a ''eureka moment'' of what, ''Banana Shrimps are symbolic of! haha, my innocence is now ruined! The question I'm asking is; will I ever grow up? and leave Mushroom Town" _____________________________________. REAL CONCLUSION: The Skunk Of Trutn. Answer: Not for another 3-4 Weeks, then you get to leave Mushroom city. "But it's about Forgotten Haze Cake maturity in to woman hood begins. But she still stays in mushroom land, the land of the Forgotten, she's lost amongst the Haze and Cake strains of the cold damp soil where mushrroms grow. This is a Kind symbolic gesture reminder here, to keep the top soil clean during these colder times. We don't want mould or bud rot. Some hazes like to see 3 days of dropped temps to change her colours like a psychedelic trip during the start of maturity" "Shes always tripping over rakes, I have a little baby rake I use to freshen up her top soils" Allso she was living next door to Freaky Pablo that turned out to be male to where Bananas come from and shes the shrimp. This riddle is told by the perspective of the Plant realising she's a woman going through the stages womanhood" So, in conclusion, my fellow thinkers and growers, let's embrace the absurdity, cherish our innocence, and ponder the enigma of find a rake to trip over and lead us to that illuminating "eureka moment," no matter how stoned, baked, or pebbled we may be. Cheers to growth, both in the mind and the garden! _____________________________________ At mid-day on January 25th, 2024, I accidentally placed the light too close to the plants for a couple of hours, resulting in burnt leaves and pistils. It can't be a calcium deficiency since I have been feeding 6ml of calcium to 5 liters of water. The only difference was the proximity of the light.

So a few days after I did the leaf strip I noticed that on the 2 smaller plants that there was a bit of yellowing in the leaves. So I pulled a all nighter to see if the tent was getting hot as I was running both a SF-4000 and SF-2000 in a 4x4 tent. The tent wasn't getting to hot, think it peeked at 26.5c, less then what my 3x3 tent was getting up to. The only 2 thing I could think was causing the issue was the reservoir temperatures because it was dropping down to 17.5c or the light intensity. So I removed the SF-2000 and ordered a 50w tank heater. The reservoir temperatures are now staying between 22c and 24c and aren't fluctuating as bad as it was before. The tent temperature has lowered a bit after removing the SF-2000. I also sprayed them down with a mix of 500ml water and .5ml of Advanced Nutrients Revive to see if it helped at all. Now since I've made all these changes I haven't noticed if it's gotten any better, bit it doesn't look like it's gotten any worse yet also. All I know is this well definitely effect my overall yeild of my plants. Oddly the only one that doesn't look effected by what's going on is the tallest plant in the tent. Sizes B.C #1 - 41" B.C #2 - 38" B.C #3 - 33" B.C #4 - 29" B.C#4 is the one that looks the worst rite now and has been the runt since day 1. B.C#2 might be the second tallest but it's showing a lot of stress rite now. It went from looking really good, to yellow, upwards claw leaves in just a few short days. Well that's everything for now. Happy growing everyone

Wow, does this Gorilla Cookies smell great!! If you have been following me, then you know that the weather here in my area has been rough. BUT, according to @Fastbuds website, Gorilla Cookies is defined as being "Super-reliable and incredibly resistant. This cultivar inherited all the best qualities from her parents, making it a fool-proof strain even for beginner growers." And, my gorilla cookies has "Chunky dense buds" just like the website said it would. I used my Max-see magnifier to take some close up pictures of Miss Gorilla Cookies trichomes. She is getting closer and closer to a harvest. It rained a little this week so I only fed her a couple of times. I am currently feeding her @AdvanceNutrients Jungle Juice. I have only taken about 10 leaves off at the most during this grow. I just didn't need to open up any space for sunlight, so I left them all in contact. I also had a couple of caterpillars? that decided it was a good idea to visit my flowering plants. Little do they know we do not want them to visit! I included a picture of the caterpillar that visited. Any thoughts? Take a look at the picture that I circled on. I circled where the stem is bending down because of the bud weight. All in all, it was a good week. Miss Gorilla cookies in concentrating on her bud growth. As always, Let's chat it up! See ya next week.

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need. But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year. Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily. The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space. With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done. They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro. Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark. Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures! Hug Bud

Harvesting An ELEPHANT !!! And after 118 day from seed and 101 from wen she started her mix veg/flowering process, i cant say for sure but i am starting to believe that this auto world do veg, then veg and flower in conjunction for a wile and only after they a wile they move to a flowering stage completely but thats another post another day lol today was harvest day for this Auto Elephant from SSSC , and let me tel you she is a delight with huge fruits, so big that i normally cut and hang the all plant and for this i did not take the risk of doing that and getting bud rot , better safe than sorry, so what i broke her in smaller peaces and put it all in the rack. Now not much to do than waiting for it to get around 10/15% humidity and jar with it all. This one as you guys can see from the video , this is a full covered in trichomes BIG MAMA and touching her is like touching super glue or something lol i was trying to put all the colas in one picture , but is simply just not possible , they all look great so i selected 4 of them for a true back back ground <3 Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club for this opportunity, i fell like a champion no matter what with this 2 Mamas, much respect on the work you guys did on this Elephant As always thank you all for stoping by for your love and for it all, i fell humble and honored

I guess the grow is doing okay. The zkittlez plant that has suspiciously small buds for the amount of time its been flowering and compared to GMP. I noticed some possible seed sacks on the zkittlez and then also GMP, i cut off a small lower bud on the GMP to get a closer look and when i opened up the sack it looked like an extremely small serd like 1/10 the size of a fingernail. I could be wrong in assuming that the plants hermed but i doubt it. My guess is thag the zkittlez plant hermed along the way at some point and pollinated GMP. The zkittlez was a freebie and i couldn't find the breeder so its kinda par for the course. The seed development is very slow so by the time the girls will be cut down, the seeds probably wont be mature but I've never had herms or done any breeding work so i have no clue. Im not thsr upset just a little peeved that i didn't notice sooner.

Day 21: A steady week finishing their stretch this week. They have staked their claim to their spaces well but the C Banana could find herself hidden by the Monster and her other friend Fruity Gorilla Sorbet. She is slap bang in the middle and they are both very bushy neighbours. She has some great growth broke through the canopy and will be easy to manage Monster Zkittelz has got very dominant at the back corner. She has spread out so well and will be a very good size once she hits harvest. Lots of growth going on below stairs and her stems look good to support some nice big colas. Be safe and sane Growmies.
