Day 24. Girl is recovering nice, think to start training her next week. Great light no doubts! Mars TS1000 and daily rotation around axe, plus changing positions every 2 days - helps a lot with even development. Girl is on pure 6.3 ph water, think next time ill go with 1 liter, till then 600 ml every 3 days ... Happy growing !!!

Still feeding full strength, the trichomes closer to the top of the plant are turning cloudy so I will probably hatchet at least one pheno at the end of week 8, maybe both. The smell is really nice and reminds me of bubblegum, I'm glad I took cuttings but wish I'd taken them earlier on. Still they are starting to reveg now.

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon. Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned. Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

Another week almost over, the girls are beautiful and smell great. Apparently everything is under control, I'm really looking forward to the results. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱

Started with lowstresstraining

Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

Finishing off the first week of flowering and watching the buds grow :) All strains seem to be happy with with 1L water with 12ml nutes 25/75 veg/bloom each, every other day. Missed the defoliating deadline in veg mode but have done some very light defoliation this week, I should do more I know and will once flowering is a bit more established. A bit more LST, again on the careful side. The next grow will get the full treatment :) Of course things were going too well, a couple of hours ago while I was working on climate stabilization contra running costs (I got my first power bill since grow start) I noticed 100's of very small ants all carrying eggs exiting the base of my Gorilla Glue's airpot. I had been trying to work out why she in general seemed a bit laggy. Now I might have the reason, grabbed the Neem as 1st defense and gave what I could see a good spray. For those that I couldn't see and were probably munching on the root system and tunneling through the medium I added 4 tablespoons of fresh coffee grounds and 6ml of Wood Vinegar (pyroligneous acid) to 1L water and gave the Glue a soaking. This all happened just before lights out so now hopefully by lights on the ants will be gone and the Glue will start to perk up. Yesterday I flipped the switches on the LEDS to include deep and IR light to the spectrum. All in all a good week I think, any tips and advice always welcome :) *Update Gorilla Glue is looking much better 12h after the treatment for the ant infestation. Coffee grounds and wood vinegar, natural, safe, effective and cheap as well. I have Cinnamon as well now, so I'm well prepared for any future ant invasions :)

2 Black cherry gelato clones from my clone guy. 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension Garage grow SoCal This week the girls had a hot week in the garage averaging 88°. This week the girls started to show up to the party; bulking up and putting on weight. It’s like they stopped at Wendy’s and got a frosty overnight. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I’m having reservoir funk issues so I’m switching to jacks RO this week. 1g a day. This weeks accomplishments: Split electric load (safety) This week: Switch nutes upgrade reservoir and lines next week. Long term issues It’s hot. Straight 90s this week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing pest and mold issues during high humidity conditions. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my Purple push pops grow. Just posted my outdoor light dep grow - side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. Purple push, pops and black cherry gelato inside and outside . Garage versus backyard . This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows side by side

Not much change apart from changes made to the equipment.

Heute war Zeit für die Ernte, der Duft ist traumhaft süß und sehr sehr intensiv. Ich hätte sie gerne noch 1-2 Wochen stehen lassen aber ich musste das Zelt frei bekommen für die permanent Marker die schon drauf warten umgetopft zu werden. Jetzt kann der vcure von vivosun Mal zeigen ob er sein Geld wert ist. Es wird die erste Trocknung in dem gerät sein und ich bin sehr gespannt drauf. Es ist der 14 Tage Modus aktiviert, 7 Tage trocknen bei 20°c und 60%rlf,danach wird es 7 Tage curing bei 18°c und 55%rlf. 15.04.2026 heute habe ich die buds aus der vcure geholt und den schönschliff mit der Schere gemacht. mit dem Ergebnis bin ich Recht zufrieden von der Menge her, der Geruch ist sehr fruchtig, ich mag ihn.

Ppfd: 500-600, Ec: 1,3-14, Ph:5,8, Drain: 10% Max. Tent is Full After a week of flower, One Main per Square of the Trellis netting. Planning to defoaliate and probably take off everything under the trellis between day 14-21 of flower. Limit the Stretch through generative steering, dropping Night Temperature to 20-23 Celsius and 25-27 Düring the day. Lowering humidity according to VPD. Reaching 40% dryback in the Medium daily, signaling drought and therefore increasing ec in the medium for More osmotic pressure which results in the plant Building flower sites rather than roots and leaves.

I’ve been experimenting with solar powered lights for an extended vegetative period…so far she looks extremely healthy…I Defoliated the lower branches and moulded her also.

Looks like this might be the last week for this girl. Was hoping to see more change in tricomes but not sure if worth the wait. Give it a few more days and see what the loop says.

This week I'm going to be adding Rhino skin until I decide its no longer needed . I've also boosted Piranha to 1ml/l . Im not sure what the PPM is yet as I havent fed them . As soon as I do feed them the PPM on my diary will change . We are entering week 2 and they are going strong . Already working on a second node I figure by the end of this week they will be looking at starting their 3rd . A big thank you to everyone who stops in to check out the diary . Stay tuned lots more to come !!! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#8 Pushing really hard for their second nodes now , going to be looking to get them stalks beefy start some LST soon. Day#9 we got ourselves the first tri leafs growing slowly but surely ! Day#10 They're pushing for the next node !! Growing along smoothly Day#11 The leaves are small but they got tri-leaves now and they are almost ready to expand ! Day#12 Watered 1/4 cup each 355 ppm PH 6.04 everything going well and they are growing along . Day#13 Responding well to watering, growing along nicely Day#14 Pushing their next node now things are coming along ! Week Report : They are growing well , things have picked up for them for sure I find the rate of growth a little slower then the other part of my current diaries but they are still going . Nothing but love for these little plants :)

Transplanted and fimmed. One pheno is candy striped.

Hey all, So we fully into flower mode, everything seems well and be going good. Buds are stretching nicely and I seem to have a fairly level canopy so fingers crossed. Peace and love ❤️

Hey So I had to harvest a little earlier now because I'm going on vacation, so I'm done with everything 2 weeks before :) It was quite easy to grow it has a very strong smell and generally a strong effect it tastes sweet/sour/woody It is sticky and the buds are quite heavy I harvested 146.5g dry weight from a plant :))

They are all doing great. I cleaned my resivor and forgot to turn the valve back on. In less than 24 hrs my boy starts wilting ( he is such a pussy ). Other than that things are good. My light decided it was tired and wanted to quit working. It is 3 years old, but I barely used it. I have a spare, but anyway its time to shut it off. They are getting about 14 and 1/2 hours of sunlight. The longest day of the year was on Friday. Its almost like it knew. 😂🤣😂🤣 They should already be outside in the final pot..... but I'm behind. They should be 5 feet +.... but I'm behind. My boy is the tallest at 43 inches and the shortest girl is 36 inches. I will transplant into 25 gallon hard plastic pots. This grow will be slightly different this year. Somehow I will make it happen. I'm thinking of cramming them into tomato cages, and seeing what happens. I'm not even sure if I'm going to top them. I am just going to play it out and decide later, or not decide. I'm sure it will have some ups and downs.

It's time. The trichomes have clouded over, a milky haze obscuring the clear heads. The smell is faint. Very herby of thyme and salvia. The buds are small and round.
