đșđž Week 7 - Grow Journal of Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) đșđž
On the Way Back to Full Strength!
After two tough weeks with overfeeding and water stress, Iâm finally happy to see my plant bouncing back. The roots had taken a hit, and last week, I noticed my filter was way more clogged than usual. I believe the dead roots were broken down and flushed out, most likely thanks to Cannazym. I added it specifically to help decompose the damaged roots, and it seems to have done its job.
Today, I checked the roots and saw that they have stopped browning and are beginning to return to a more normal color. They were previously quite dark, but now theyâre showing signs of improvement. The root mass hasnât regained volume yet, but I think itâs still eliminating waste. Itâll be interesting to see if more debris accumulates in the filter or if it remains clean from now on.
Another great sign: my nutrient solution level has dropped, meaning the plant is feeding properly again. At the same time, my EC has decreased, confirming that itâs actively absorbing nutrients. This recovery is also visible in the canopy: it has become denser, allowing me to slightly top some central shoots that were growing past the screen and to continue working on the SCROG.
The only minor issue this week was pH fluctuation. Over the weekend, it rose to 6.6, but I recalibrated it to 5.9 today. I suspect this is due to the plant still shedding dead roots, which could be affecting its balance. Either way, Iâll be changing the nutrient solution soon, which should stabilize things further.
Current Grow Parameters:
âą Strain: Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds)
âą Light Cycle: 18 hours
âą Humidity: 70%
âą pH: Adjusted back to 5.9 after peaking at 6.6
âą EC: Down to 1.1 after briefly reaching 1.3 - 1.4
âą Training: Light topping in the center + SCROG work + selective defoliation for better light penetration
Final Thoughts:
Things are improving, but weâre not fully there yet. The plant is regaining strength, the roots are clearing up, and itâs feeding well again. Iâll keep a close eye on its next developments, especially root mass expansion. Excited to see how things evolve next week!
See you next time for another update!

đ«đ· Semaine 7 - Journal de Culture de Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) đ«đ·
On est en train de revenir Ă la pleine forme !
AprĂšs deux semaines compliquĂ©es marquĂ©es par une surnutrition et un stress hydrique, je suis heureux de voir que la plante repart dans le bon sens. Les racines avaient bien souffert, et en observant mon filtre la semaine derniĂšre, jâai remarquĂ© quâil Ă©tait bien plus encrassĂ© que dâhabitude. Jâen conclus que les racines mortes ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©truites et Ă©vacuĂ©es, sĂ»rement grĂące au Cannazym. Jâavais ajoutĂ© ce produit pour faciliter la dĂ©composition des racines abĂźmĂ©es, et cela semble avoir bien fonctionnĂ©.
Aujourdâhui, en observant les racines, jâai constatĂ© quâelles ont arrĂȘtĂ© de brunir et quâelles commencent Ă retrouver une couleur normale. Elles Ă©taient auparavant bien sombres, mais leur Ă©tat sâamĂ©liore nettement. Pour lâinstant, la masse racinaire nâa pas encore repris en volume, mais je pense quâelle Ă©limine encore des dĂ©chets. Ce sera intĂ©ressant de voir si mon filtre continue Ă accumuler du dĂ©pĂŽt ou si tout est dĂ©sormais propre.
Autre signe encourageant : le niveau de ma solution nutritive a bien baissĂ©, ce qui indique que la plante se rĂ©alimente correctement. En parallĂšle, mon EC a Ă©galement diminuĂ©, preuve quâelle absorbe bien les nutriments. Cette reprise se reflĂšte aussi visuellement : la canopĂ©e sâest densifiĂ©e, ce qui mâa permis de lĂ©gĂšrement Ă©tĂȘter certaines tĂȘtes centrales qui dĂ©passaient du grillage et de continuer mon travail sur le SCROG.
Le seul petit point de vigilance concerne le pH, qui a fluctuĂ©. Ce week-end, il est montĂ© jusquâĂ 6,6, mais je lâai recalibrĂ© aujourdâhui Ă 5,9. Je pense que ces variations sont dues au fait quâelle se dĂ©barrasse encore de ses racines mortes et quâelle nâa pas encore retrouvĂ© un Ă©quilibre complet. De toute façon, je vais bientĂŽt renouveler la solution nutritive, ce qui permettra de repartir sur une base stable.
ParamĂštres de culture actuels :
⹠Variété : Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds)
⹠Photopériode : 18 heures de lumiÚre
⹠Humidité : 70 %
âą pH : ajustĂ© Ă 5,9 aprĂšs une fluctuation jusquâĂ 6,6
âą EC : descendu Ă 1,1 aprĂšs ĂȘtre montĂ© Ă 1,3 - 1,4
⹠Taille & palissage : léger topping central + travail sur le SCROG + retrait de quelques feuilles pour une meilleure pénétration lumineuse
En conclusion :
Les choses sâamĂ©liorent, mais ce nâest pas encore complĂštement gagnĂ©. La plante reprend de la vigueur, les racines sâĂ©claircissent et elle recommence Ă bien se nourrir. Je reste attentif aux prochaines Ă©volutions, notamment sur la masse racinaire. HĂąte de voir comment ça progresse la semaine prochaine !
Ă la semaine prochaine pour un nouveau point !
