Feed and defoliation Tuesday evening, was a little bit of work but a lot of fun too. Put some music on and giver! Was careful to try not to overdo it with the scissors, I even lay down on the floor and looked up from underneath to see how it looked that way. Buds are getting dense and sticky, the trichomes are starting to frost things up a bit. I can't wait to see where these endup. Next feeding I'll increase the amount of nutes a bit, according to schedule. Fed Friday night, 5 litres of Remo week 4. Did a bit more defoliation I missed, like a dozen leaves per plant. I dunno, that could be smart, could be stupid. We just don't know. Now I'll let em boogie on down to the finish line and give em lots of light and love and tunes and tickles. Gonna give em week 5 nutes on Monday 😎 Not sure how much runoff I should be getting. Last time it wasn't more than a few spoonfuls, @ pH 5.7 which seems fine with me as it's a hassle to deal with the excess. I'm sure someone somewhere will tell me I'm wrong???

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?

Done some LST last week to open up the plant. The SCROG net was setup a few days after that. This strain is showing a lot of branching, it might work really well with the SCROG method.

So, day 14 will start today at 5pm......the bigbud develops quick, the cherries seem to be a bit slower. The "Cripple" shown on one photo develops the slowest. Seems to me, that the cherries had a bit of a problem with light intensity, which surprised me. So I changed the lamp distance and since then they seem to like it better. Never used led light and am surprised about their power. Never had the problem with too much light intensity. So I will most definitely buy another and smaller lamp for the first week or 2. Operating at 25% was still too much for the cherries. Alternatively I could change light distance in this time. Plants are fed 2ml of root juice and biogrow per liter. From week 3 on I will increase it to 3ml. UPDATE DAY 19 Plants receive 3,5ml of biogrow per liter. They drink like alcoholics so now they get about 1litre of pure water and about 400ml of nutrition. I started LST as you can see. Temperature now sucks a bit, but it's hot outside but will change tomorrow fortunately this is no permanent problem. If I am lucky and nothing unplanned happens, like insects..... I will enjoy these probably. Plants also began to show gender and look female so far. In about a weak I will change nutrition for blooming UPDATE DAY 20 As the pervert that I am I watched this video over and over.........😂 well, the one I posted......What I thought I have seen was slight signs of over nutrition. Wouldnt wonder, because first 2 weeks (more or less) they did get just root juuice and I jumped from 2 to 3..5ml of grow....😁Ladies seemed thirsty but right now I guess, the color I thought was a sign of undernutrition is just the "normal" pheno from the cherries. Sry for my english. Day21 So I was able to apply a bit more lst since plants start to stretch a bit. The biggest plant in the back got bend down in order to avoid burning the top or having to adjust the lamp. I get more and more excited to see them develop! I also started taking of lower leaves that are not needed. Plants are super bushy and will have about one more week, before they enter blooming. The stems are pretty strong and sidebranches get bigger and stronger too. So far, everything alright. Plant height is about 25-45cm, estimated, but my eye is quite OK. And 1 or 2 cm more or less don't change the general fact that they are impressing me so far I actually just wanted to share a creative moment I had this morning..... I guess you all know Dean Martins "let it snow"..... Lol Oh the weather inside is right And the lamp is burning bright The trickomes brightly glow Let it grow, let it grow, Let it grow Man growth doesn't seem to stop And soon I'll reap my crop If lights are turned way down low I will sow, I will sow, I will sow When I finally taste the weed And enjoy the smoke so sweet I know the potency I have grown What a stone, what a stone, what a stone I really love these plants A true first sight, sweet romance And as long as I have room Let it bloom, let it bloom, let it bloom I don't care what judges think Just take care that it won't stink No noise, no talk no smell Keep it stealth, Babylon go to hell

03/18/2022 I have not shown the third clone as much because of training I will start with her this week. Did some wiring wrap around on two branches, and stem cracked, super cropped third branch. ( I ran out of wire had to improvise) I got one clone for this girl starting! All Girls update I will post pics on day 2. Tomorrow🙏🏻 Ps. I fed (watered) with molasses, and aloe gel fresh squeezed by me.and organic grown (by me) One tbls (14.787ml) of each in two gallon jug(7.571l) also I layered coast of Maine 5-2-4 one teaspoon per layer one on top as well. I like the extra potassium in this blend as plants can absorb and store more potassium and save for later use (flowering) . 03/20/2022 Here are flowering girls

Still flushing to get ph back, nothing added to water this week. Buds are packing on weight and the smell is getting very sweet. Also, had to add in another support net for the extra weight these girls could start making.

Que pasa familia, de nuevo vemos el avance de nuestras northern light xL, es una genética bastante ramificada, a diferencia de las Lemon, estás si escupen brazos laterales a la altura del central. Flores compactas vemos cómo los productos de advanced nutrients cumplen sus funciones. Es una genética que si pide bastante comida a diferencia de las demás. 50% de maximas en humedad y 28 grados de maxima en la temperatura.

April 20, 2023 at 1:41 PM day 50 -It’s day 50 and they are all in full flower and seem mostly happy. The forum appear to be showing a calcium/magnesium deficiency. I busted out some of my hydroponic stuff and gave it some cutting edge solutions additives. Are used plant-amp, uncle John’s blend, and Mag-amp. I gave it 2/3 strength. -I also added my Bulbasaur to protect the plants! April 26, 2023 at 9:55 AM day 56 -Something with wrong with the forum. Only thing I could think of is that the soil pH is too high. It might be a 7.5 to about an 8. I’m putting up a video so you guys could take a look. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I did wrong so I won’t do it again. 😔

17/05/2020: ENG: talking about the gorillas, they are 81 and 82 days of LIFE. Let me know your opinions... SHOULD I START THE FLUSH (SHOWER AND THEN JUST WATER) OR SHULD I CONTINUE THE FEEDING ONE MORE WEEK ?? THE CRYSTALS STILL QUITE TRANSPARENT, BUT I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD FLUSH AT THE MILKY POINT OR DO IT NOW BECAUSE IF NOT IT WILL BE TOO LATER... Despite of Lemon Haze , just let me know in the comments, I just want to give thanks to Luis from Eurogrow as he gifted me this seed when one of my gorillas dryed at the first stages (WEEK 2) ESP: respecto a las gorilas...ESTOY TO RALLAO. No se si hacer el lavado de raíces (meterla a la ducha y luego darle solo agua cuando la maceta se seque) o bien darle una semana mas de alimentación para que sigan engordando porque la verdad, no paran y los tricomas aun estan bastante transparentes. Pero tengo miedo de esperar al punto justo para hacer el lavado de raíces, porque se que despues del lavado deberé dejarla 10 dias mas aproximadamente... Respecto a la Lemon Haze , dejarme que opinais vosotros. yo solo tengo que dar las gracias a Luís de Eurogrow, ya que me regaló esta semilla al morir una de mis Gorilla Glue.. Gracias ;

This girl is an exuberant plant! Super strong even on these hot days she stayed in shape without having fox-tails, also due to the quality of this HLG light which as always amazes me a lot. Still drying out… soon new updates with photos and infos on weight and smoke reports. Cheers cannafam ☮️💚

**Week 8 - Third Week of Flower** Things are getting wild in the Donutz tent! After the insane stretch last week, the plants have turned the space into a full-on jungle. The start of Week 8 called for drastic measures, and the results are setting the stage for explosive bud production. **Key Updates**: - **Aggressive Defoliation**: On Day 1 of the third flower week, the plants underwent a *brutal* defoliation. Every bud site that had started to develop its own leaves was stripped of its fan leaves, allowing light to flood the canopy. Even the smallest sites now have excellent exposure, giving them the best chance to mature into chunky nugs in the coming weeks. Despite the intensity of the trim, the plants are resilient and primed to bounce back strong. - **Boosted Nutrients**: To support the plants after the stress of defoliation, I added another 5-6g of Greenhouse Feeding Bloom per plant. This ensures the soil stays nutrient-rich and gives the plants the resources they need to recover and thrive. - **Watering**: Still rocking reverse osmosis (RO) water, ensuring clean and efficient hydration without any surprises. **Observations**: - The canopy is significantly cleaner and more open, with light now reaching deeper into the lower sections. - The plants are handling the defoliation well, with no immediate signs of stress or shock. - Bud sites are already looking promising, with visible development and an even distribution across the canopy. **Looking Ahead**: The next few weeks will be all about letting the plants recover and watching the buds stack up. With improved light penetration and a fresh dose of nutrients, everything is lined up for some impressive development. The Donutz are thriving, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high — the tent is set to deliver big!
