RG #1: 51,11 Grams RG #2: 61,82 Grams RG #3: 42,96 Grams 155,89g and 300 Watt used in total. I also had the SQ #1 in my tent, with that one it's 196,87g total and i smoked some already while it was drying like i think maybe 20g, so keep that in mind. I hope the harvest will hold up until my next run and that i can top the results with my next run by a lot, i really want to get closer to 300g total. It has been pretty much exact 4 Months from germination to putting everything into the jars. I know it has been my first grow and i did some mistakes, but still im not very happy with the results after all that invested time and effort. Not enough yield, i expected to get more out of it with 300 Watts and even if it the weed me really high, the strain has many problems in my opinion. Sadly i let it dry for too long. Everyday i checked the stems and if they will break of still bend and sadly it seems like this method isn't really useful. I should have started way earlier to cut everything down and put it into jars. So its still ok but too dry, Without Boveda Packs i get like 45-50% Humidity in the jars, the Boveda Packs raise it up slowly to like 60% but i think this will hurt the end result when it comes to taste and smell, curing will be not happening or be very slow because of my mistake. When it comes to seeds, i did found like 30 more in total, most on sq1 and rq2 but it seems like sadly all got some. Its really not much more left of them and i think it was just one pollen sac which opened somewhere. Haven't found it even after cutting all down. This was my first trim job and i did it all on my own, i did like 1 1/2 plants on one day, like 12 hours with some smoke breaks in between. It was hell. Besides the weed i also got 4 packs of trim which i will use to make some butter and some dry sift from my trim tray.

Interessant zu beobachten wie die Lila Pigemtierung innerhalb einiger Tage die Pflanze färbt, das UVB macht auf jedenfall seine Arbeit, sehr schön und verdichtet nochmal ordentlich die unter liegenden Blüten… 2/4 wurden geerntet, denken in 7 Tagen kommt die nächste Ernte

High GD community, Week 9, Sweet Thai looking allready better then ĺast week. The topping start to grow gently and a full 13cm in height gained this week. Since 3 days(friday), the lightcycle changed into 13/11. Nonetheless spidermites are spotted on this lady, she doesnt back down. After a treathment with orio bugs, who i actually misordered because I didnt had my new microscope yet, trips are definitly gone, and orios do eat/attack spidermites, its not their favorite. So a second army of bugs, this time phyto mytes, its gonna be all about attack and digesting spidermites, Who didnt yet get crowdy so far. But after a check up of some leafs with the new microscope, i can see a lot of eggs and pretty active young spidermites. So the phytos will not come to early. Phytos do eat eggs as orios dont, so thats a big difference. Thats it for this week boys and girls, Thanks for reading and passing by, Grow safe buds and feel free to check out my other ladies doing fine, 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

I started germination of 3 Gorilla Girl beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Gorilla Girl. I've only grown this variety out once. Did her in a 1 gallon SOG grow and she was a beast! Fat Chunky main cola just loaded to the tits in trichomes. Amazing bud structre and a definite cut above alot of the genetics flooding the market. I cant wait to let this variety loose in a larger scale grow. See what these powerhouse genetics really have to offer. Haven't grown out much sweet seeds stuff. But what I did test drive got there genetics into a larger setup. So caps off to them.

-En primer lugar dar las gracias a zambeza por creer en mi en todo momento,y por darme a conocer esta gran pagina y familia, espero que sea para largo esta colaboración. •Hemos germinado 9 semillas, 3 de cada raza, lemon , power plant xl, northern light xl, y que pasadas 48h fueron colocadas en maceteros pequeños, los cuales iluminaremos con un bajo consumo las primeras semanas. •Esperemos que este seguimiento sea más completo y más extenso que el anterior , (que lo edite todo en una noche,aún que me llevase casi 4 meses el jodido proyecto).

Day 3 for the gutter hoes and they are in the system. I am using a 4 ft section of gutter with caps on both ends. The bottom is lined wit about half an inch of pea gravel for better drainage. Then filled with perlite. A feed line will pump nutrients to the end of the gutter that is elevated about an inch. The nutrients drain back to the reservoir and will be circulated 24 hours a day. This alleviates the need for an air pump since the return water oxygenates the 4 gallon reservoir. Just a cheap nft style setup I guess you would call it.

I'm expecting one more week to chop. Most of the trichomes are cloudy. Fan leaves are yellowing already and I'm gonna be using Flawless Finish for this final week. It will be a clean smoke for sure. My feeding schedule was all over the place on this grow, lesson learned for the Royal Creamatic that I'm growing.

Last week of the grow. Checking deep in the plant, it has around 20-25% amber trichomes. I decided it was time to cut it and free up the rest of the tent to get ready to flower.

This was a fairly smooth week. Right now there is not a whole lot to do. I mainly just try to ensure that my environment stays in check and kind of just sit back and watch the growth take place. I did have one pretty major issue this week with some of my equipment. I want to share incase anyone else comes across this issue, but if you are running AC infinity setup and using their humidifier, it could mess with your AC infinity controller. I woke up this week to find my temps were high and humidity was way down. I went to check what was going on and my conrtoller 69 was going crazy. I couldn't figure it out. I called and there is a known issue somehow when the humidifier is plugged in with other ports being used it may cause the other ports to not work. After a few hours of trying to get everything working, I finally got it resolved. I had to unplug humidifier, reset the controller to default, delete and redownload the app, and somehow everything started working again thankfully. I have my humidifier on a spare controller for the time being as I cant send for a replacement right now, but that seems to be working fine. Other than that though, everything is going great. Going to continue to monitor and keep an eye on things. As always tips and recommendations always appreciated. You guys rock and I have learned a ton from everyone, so thanks!

This plant has been a pure pleasure to grow. I took a few bud off this week as I was worried about bud bandits taking her. They are out in force in my neck of the woods. She has really put on some interesting colouring. She smells so damn GOOD!! Dinafem nails dit with these genetics!! Full chop is imminent!! 😎🍿

First off, I hope all who visit this journal watch the timelapse. I'm very happy with how it turned out. The GSC is in the foreground. Comparing the beginning to the end shows just how dramatically my plant has grown in the past week. This plant now has a photo-period neighbor! I have changed the light schedule back to 18-6 to accommodate. Her chronicles will be in a separate journal. Towards the end of week two, I noticed the leaves were forming brown spots that I took as a sign of calcium deficiency. To treat this, I used a gallon of (hard) tap water, adding calcium to the reservoir. Luckily this seems to have done the trick! The spots have been absent on all subsequent leaf growth. Sometime in the middle of this week, I had to re balance the pH from ~7 to ~6. Perhaps this pH fluctuation came from the tap water transfusion. In an effort to raise the RH in the tent, I've repetitively spilled a small amount of water on the floor of the tent. Doing this keeps the RH around 45-50%. I've made some other small changes to my grow setup as shown in the pictures. Prior to this week, I'd thought my plant was hopelessly behind developmentally compared to other user's because I'd compare their week two plants to mine. Luckily, this week has seen some growth! It's crazy how fast they shoot off after their first three-fingered leaves form. The first "real" set of leaves to grow in (not three-fingered yet), seemed to take forever to grow into their full size while not much else (besides the roots) seemed to grow. This week's three-pointed leaves have practically fully formed already. Alongside them, are the beginnings of yet more leaves! I'm not certain what I will do this next week. I may start LSTing this plant, though I'm not sure when exactly I should do this. My original plan for my plants was to implement a screen of green using a trellis. I have sense realized this may not be the best approach while using a DWC, because water changed would be made much more difficult. Have any of you DWC growers experiment with this? Is it worthwhile? I will likely not replace the water for another week, though that's not set in stone. I appreciate any advise regarding the training techniques I mentioned, water switch outs and anything else that may be relevant to this grow. I will more than likely ask a few designated questions. To those who take the time to answer, thank you!

Had all 9 seeds germ, but one dampened off at day 4 of sprout. Luckily I germed another auto to take its place. Based on my experience a good rule of thumb to follow with autos is to germ 10% more than you need since runts and unstable genetics are ripe within the NEW Ruderalis
