Sep 28: Overdose is packing on weight and looking to be quite a big yielder considering I only topped her once and didn’t optimize for it being a photoperiod and not actually an auto. So far so good and flowering is picking up speed. Sunlight gets very weak into October and potentially frost but with UV lights and putting her in the garage on cold nights, this will finish strongly. Sep 29: cool and overcast today so I got the LED light out for supplemental light during midday. Minor hassle really but I know the light is quite weak here in October and this supplemental light will likely make a big difference on a late finisher. Watered with cal-mag and potassium this morning. Went to add N and I have some fish fertilizer still…pH dropped in water and I had to use potassium silicate again to get pH back up to proper range. Oh well, she’ll appreciate it all. Oct 1: gave her another dose of fish fertilizer and potassium silicate this morning. Oct 3: not sure why but I gave her a partial dose of seaweed extract this morning along with the warmed water. With lower temperatures I’m upping the water temperature a bit. Now using about 28 C water in the morning when it’s still only about 5 C. That seems to help and is easy to do with a cheap kettle to boil water. Oct 4: she’s completely purple now but flowers are still blooming and no signs of bud rot. Will try to hold off on harvest for another week.

Ya van una semana con media dosis de fertilizantes y una semana de solo agua, queda una semana de agua y a cortar. Las tijeras están inquietas, me empiezo a impacientar por probar esta cepa

2/2 We are about half way on the 2 biggest, 3 weeks on the SG, and about 6 weeks on the Blue cheese. Damn... You can see how much I lose on the bottom half, but like I said before. It will still be more than I can smoke. And I want to make sure it all gets enough light to ripen and allow plenty of airflow. The only issues in really having is the godberry seems to be premature yellowing, but I still think it's from the light stress early on. She also looks a bit like nute burn. Yeh .. that's probably the fish emulsion I gave it 2 weeks ago when I misread the light stress. Sometimes it's best to stop and think before you do something stupid. I always have at least one plant that goes yellow too soon. Living soil. But I don't think the soil is lacking. I've never dealt with light stress before so it's kinda fucking with my head. But it's all at the top, as you go deeper they get greener. The deep purple stems across 2 different strains was from the light too. I've seen that before but it's been a long time. 2/3 My Blue Cheese is about week 6ish. I lose track temporarily because of how that plant came about. It was started 1 week after the others had already been in the ground. And then she started to flower after only 2 weeks. She popped up on 12/6, the others popped up on 11/30. I can tell by the way she feels she ain't even close. Flowers are nice but there is no density. Theeaves are so frosty they remind me of sage a bit. I did a bit of work on her. Mostly just tied the tops together so she wasn't so sprawled out commandeering an entire 1/4 of the tent. The 2 biggest are really becoming pretty and the ChocoLope is acting like she wants to start showing some color! Trying to keep it cool at night but below 70 and I start having trouble keeping gt VPD up. Strawberry gorilla is plumping up slowly. She didnt start till about 3 weeks ago. So as soon as I move out the Blue Cheese, I'll see if I can give her a bit more light. May have to harvest the BCA in 2 goes. Should have left her tied down. More to come...

Day 84. Girl is down !!!! Love FB and it's easy to understand why ;)) I started my run at same time as this one,think Mars super light had influence for girls finishing in such nice colours and short time. Thank You very much for both companies, amazing products !!! Huge respect @MarsHydro @FastBuds Happy Growing !!!

So i dont think i need to explane much XD you can see it all in the Videos 😍

Week Two: The seedlings received their first and second feedings of Innovating Plant Products. Along with one just a plain watering. (Feed / Feed / Water). The first feeding was on 5/21 of 900 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The pH was 6.3 The second feeding was on 5/24 of 700 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The was 6.4 After assessing the first feeding it was felt the PPM was a bit high for their first feeding. We could have easily done this in reverse order. On 5/26 the plants were given just plain water to finish out their week. One of the seedlings appeared to be a bit deformed and has since been tossed. This one seed didn't germinate well, but we thought we would give it go. Assessing the seedling we simply opted to pull it.

Wow oh wow 🤩 to start I’ll say I’ve been very careful watching the feeds timing them almost perfectly! Also was a struggling week with humidity! Lucky I have my tricks to keep it down (no dehumidifier) 😊 I use air control 😉 (in the house) air control in the tent is perfect or next to perfect anyway! The aromas are continuously getting stronger and I am in for a treat! This time is my best time! It just shows! But every next time is my best time as I only get better at this!

Yesterday i took off some Leafs down there. Looks Like a Bouquet now 😄 She's responding great to the Training i have her. I'm pretty exited how she'll do in the Future weeks 🤙🏽

Así terminaron la cuarta semana! 🙏 Estas 🦍🍌 quieren la flora pero ya! Se ven maravillosas, hambrientas a mas no poder… Se van a flora con 30 días! Gorilla Banana - BSF Seeds Saludos 🖤🙏💚

Week two went well. Just maintaining humidity still and a good temp. Watered plant two on day 10. 200ml with 2.5ml added fox farm grow big. Also re wetting the sponges I have in them daily for humidity.

removed big and top leaves and started

Day 60F The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good. Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop. Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest. Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks. Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks. Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop. Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest. Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks. I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience. I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.

Only my second grow, need to write down everything i do, light change, feed day, water day etc etc...instead of guessing and forgetting...

One of the plants grew massive! However the smoke wasn’t the best until a good 4 weeks cure. Very hairy buds too which was interesting 😂 Still a nice smoke

As I said in the review this was a tough challenge. I'm hopeful that my second attempt at this strain will be successful. Growers Choice Seeds sent me a few more to give it another go. Alex from their customer service department was very helpful and asked to be kept updated on the progress of the CBD. I'm not sure if GCS will ever see this but here's a big thanks <3 Thank you guys (GD) for all the love and support! It was so awesome seeing the get well messages when I was well enough to sit down and check my computer. Seriously, I didn't expect all of that. I am better, still have a few open wound areas but the healing is happening! :) Much love you guys! Meus <3

All going well now, just lowered my setup by 35cm to gain more space for the ladies... also now my reservoir is below the cabin instead of inside, so much cooler water now (in fact I had to pace a heater to avoid temperature below 18˚C)

The girls are coming out of their second topping very well. I will increase their fertilizer going forward as they are taking their current level with flying colors. I was very careful with the identification of my seeds through planting, and yet I am concerned a couple may be mislabeled. I will continue the investigation. lol
