Wow.. week 5 and she is really hungry I fed her 3 times this week (once every 2 days -ish) and she’s really making those pistils cluster like crazy. I have counted all the tops and it totaled to 26: - 7 strong tops (tallest tops) - 10 medium tops (above net) - 9 small tops (just above/touching net) I’ve introduced Bio-Heaven in order to increase nutrient intake by increasing her metabolism with amino acids, I will be able to maximize yield in a hot tent with that many tops. Let’s hope it does its job with helping the plant process despite environmental stress :)

Strawberry Gorilla Auto - FastBuds Welcome to week 11 of my grow diary, which is also the last week. As predicted last week, the weather has become even warmer. The heat has now completely taken over the house, and it has also rained for a few days, causing the humidity to rise again. Unfortunately, this led to mold forming on one shoot, so I decided to take action. Normally, the plant could have stayed in place for another 1-2 weeks for my needs, but I didn't want to take any risks and harvested it in week 11. Overall, I was satisfied with the growth of the plant. Environmental conditions are unpredictable in summer and more difficult to control than in winter/spring. I was able to gain more experience with this grow and now know that I should take a break in summer from now on. I really liked the mainlining. Before, I topped above node 2 and left 4 main shoots. With 2 main shoots, it is much easier to work with and does not require as much defoliation as with 4. I will definitely use this technique again in the future. Here's some initial feedback on the Strain "Strawberry Gorilla Auto" from FastBuds and the Organic Starter Kit from Advanced Nutrients: The plant grew really well and has enormous potential. The buds were so swollen towards the end that I was amazed. The organic fertilizer from Advanced Nutrients probably also had an influence. This was my very first purely organic grow, and I think I can be satisfied with the result. I can wholeheartedly recommend the fertilizer. I will definitely use it again in future projects and will probably do a comparison grow between the mineral and organic starter kits. Avg. Temperature - 27°C Avg. Humidity - 68% Avg. VPD - 1,16kPA The lamp runs at 60% which is 356w according to the energy meter. At a distance of 20cm the plant gets around 950-1100ppfd. Thank you for following me so far. I will give you an update after it has dried. I hope you enjoyed my grow diary. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

July 18: still recovering from the hail storm 7 days ago, but looking good. Start force flowering tonight. That means in the dark garage at 9 pm, a few seconds of 730 nm far red light to initiate ‘dark mode’ 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So I get 10 +2 or 12 h of darkness in a ‘26 h’ day. Great trick if you have daily access to your flowering plants. July 19: added second layer of scrog net. Watered with a compost tea this morning.

Week 17 It's quite hot in here with temperatures in the grow space reaching 31 Celcius/87,8 Fahrenheit. And unfortunately I don't have airconditioning so I've dimmed the light and increased it's height and even than it's still too hot! Guess we simply have to make the best of it. 🙏 Enjoy the weather! 🌞😎

sorry for the two week break I was studying for my exams and literally I had no time for these girls. At the end of week 4 I transplanted her on a 15L pot, started LST and moved her outside. Had some issues with bugs but neem oil solved it.

Woche 5 03.08.24 - 10.08.24 Das Wachstum geht ungehindert weiter....! Diesmal konnte ich leider keine Fotos machen, da ich in der Woche wenig nach den Pflanzen schauen konnte. Dafür kleine Zeitraffervideos von der Zeltkamera. Die Pflanzen zeigen leichte Anzeichen einer Überdüngung. Daher wurde diese Woche nur bei jeder zweiten bis dritten Bewässerung gedüngt. Außerdem wurde die Beleuchtung umgestellt von der Lumii auf 2x Sanlight Evo 120er da sie endlich nach mehrmonatiger Verspätung angekommen sind. Die Werte Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und VPD füge ich nachträglich noch ein. Die Behandlung mit dem Neemöl bringt leichte Besserung. Ab Montag kommen noch Nematoden zusätzlich mit in die Box, da ich ab jetzt nicht mehr das Neemöl benutzen möchte aufgrund der langsam voranschreitenden Blüten.

Adding this cal mag ish stuff seems to an instant difference. Plants filling out, less yellowing. The 3rd plant went from smallest to biggest and is now flowering. Still looks different than the others, this group helped me determine this plant may be more like the mother plant. She is so strong, can’t wait for her to mature.

All caught up now! Attached is some shots with less effort put into them, then a couple shots of her main kola sparkling with trichome frost. Oh baby, she stacked muuuch harder than I remember earlier on this week. Just absolutely packing on the resin all throughout her nodes. Not just the main kola, but the lower ones too. Very pleased! Quite happy with the flash-adjusted shots of the main kola too, you can see she's just icing herself out like it's a full-time job, which I suppose it is for her at this stage of flower. Still has a relative smell of skunk, but has developed a really lovely and strong citrus note/lemon peel that overrides that skunk hit. Gas notes on the end sort of highlight the sting of the lemon terps. Gorgeous phenotype/s for sure.

Flowering looking good. Some cold weather coming through. It was raining this past weekend and had heavy winds compared to the previous week’s hot weather. But happy with the grow

Absolutely stinking beautiful strain Very sticky 2 completely different phenos. Amazing plant love the dynamite from royal queen

Plantitas en su semana 10 Creciendo sanas y saludables..

Por lejos este ha sido mi mejor cultivo hasta ahora, han sido los cogollos más grandes, densos y llenos de tricomas que he cultivado, comparado con el cultivo anterior en el que usé el mismo tipo de planta, está vez fue muy superior. Los motivos de la mejora pueden ser varios, incluidos más luz, ya que en el cultivo anterior solo tuve 480w, ahora fueron 720w, también usé tutores y palitos de madera para crear una estructura firme en algunas plantas, y fueron estás mismas las que tuvieron los cogollos más grandes, así que lo usaré en todas las plantas del siguiente cultivo. Además el tiempo de cultivo se redujo de 4 meses a 3 meses y medio, aprox. Ahora solo queda esperar unas 2 semanas para el secado y ver cuánto fue la cosecha total en gramos secos, la anterior fue de 635 gramos secos, está yo creo que por lo menos rondará los 700 gramos secos, incluso puede que me sorprenda y sea mucho más.

Veg22, riego con 3.0 EC y pH 5.9, drenaje promedio de 5.8 pH y 2.6 EC(muy bien), primer riego con Sensizym para limpiar un poco las raíces, y este será el último riego de vegetación con Voodoo Juice, Tarantula y Piranha. Se hizo una pequeña defoliación de las hojas abanico más bajas y se volvió a ajustar el LST, ya van tomando la forma final. Veg23, creciendo bien. Veg24, se mide la temperatura de las hojas 22°C y se compara con la temperatura del indoor 23°C, con una humedad de 50% RH, la calculadora arroja un valor de VPD=1.24 kpa, lo que está dentro del rango óptimo. Veg25, hoy toca una pequeña defoliación y probaré también hacer un último apical en 2 o 3 plantas a modo de prueba. Al final, tomé un gran riesgo, y hice varios apicales extra y una defoliación más grande de lo que tenía en mente, tengo fe que resultará bien 😎👌 Veg27, riego con 0.8 EC y pH 6.0, drenaje de 6.0 pH y EC 2.0, se están alimentando y creciendo bien, quedan casi 2 semanas para pasar el fotoperiodo a 12/12, espero que crezcan suficiente para esa fecha. Veg28, un par de hojas de 2 plantas presentan mordidas tipo oruga, revise y no encontré nada, aplique spray insecticida, espero no siga pasando. A parte de eso siguen creciendo bien, quedan un poco más de 10 días para el paso a 12/12.

Die Blüte verläuft sehr gut. Die Blüten wachsen und wachsen. Ich entschuldige mich vielmals, weil ich die falschen Bilder hochgeladen hatte. Diese sind jetzt aus der richtigen Woche. Ich danke dir für deinen Besuch. Du kannst gerne ein Like da und dir meine anderen Tagebücher Anschauen. Oder komm mich auf Instergram besuchen.✌️🏼

We have hit day 35 and everything's looking great! Only 2 girls out of 8 have started flowering in the past day or two, the remaining six have shown sex and I'm anticipating flowering to begin sometime this week. I gave them a full feeding today. I'm using H&G Coco A+B, which is used from seed to harvest, unlike many other nutrient brands. I will start using H&G Bud-XL in the next few days, luckily I got a bottle before the shops close for Christmas. I didn't expect these autos to get so big so fast, but I'm definitely not complaining. Update day 37 - 26/12/20 I fed the girls their first dose of bud-xl today. 5/8 girls have started to flower now, hopefully, in the next few days the other 3 start up! Update: Day 40 - 29/12/20 6/8 girls are flowering now, the two that aren't are the 2 weird pheno runts.. I've submitted a grow question regarding the 2 weird girls. I'm hoping that they're simply late to flower and not a photoperiod.. I've been feeding the girls 1-2 litres each every day, with a plain PH'd water run every 7-14 days. Update day 41 - 30/12/20 All the girls have started to flower now :D I'm incredibly happy to see them so healthy at this point too I was almost going to put the 2 runts outside but I'm leaving them inside at this point. Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to all :)

Everything is going great except the RQS is twice the size of the the Cherry Cola lol. Ended up setting the one plant up and raising the light some.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and all is still going good. Temps here have finally started to cool a bit so I’m able to keep the temp in the tent at a range I like, 78-81. Just waiting for her to really start putting on some weight on most of her bud sites. Still looking at a month or so for harvest, at least. Day 72 - Nothing new to update today, thought she was gonna be ready for some water today but not quite dry yet. Just removed a couple lower dying leaves and tucked everything else. Day 73 - She was pretty dehydrated today so she got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and she’s loving it. I believe next feeding she’ll be ready for nutes again. Some of the colas look like she’s finishing up and the rest have a ways to go but trichs are still clear so she’ll go until I get 40-50% amber, like I like. Day 74 - Nothing much new today, just took her out to remove any dead leaves and the bottom and get some updated pictures for the day. Day 75 - All looking good and she may not end up being having really fat buds because the trichs are turning milky pretty quick so I’m looking at probably two weeks left so next watering I’m going to be going by the technaflora feed chart and give her 40ml sugardaddy and 2.5ml Magicali the first week and plain pH’d water the final week and see how she does. If she still needs more time, I’ll continue the 2 week regiment until she’s finished up. My goal is to get her to 40-50% amber. Day 76 - Nothing to update today other than she’s gonna get some plain pH’d water tomorrow to start flushing out some of the nutes then she’ll get a feeding of magicali and sugardaddy. Supposedly supposed to increase the flavor and bulk up the last couple weeks. Day 77 - The end of week and 11 and the smell coming from this girl is amazing and strong. I don’t think she’s got too much longer to go so I’m starting the flush. Today I gave her 2 gallons of water with Magicali and Sugardaddy and will probably get straight water from here on out with maybe one more dose of the Magicali and Sugardaddy. She was pretty droopy todat from being low on water so hopefully she’ll perk up after the watering.

We’ve hit week five of flowering, and things are getting really exciting! 🌸 The plant is now covered in trichomes, and many of them are already turning a milky color—such a great sign that things are progressing perfectly. The buds are starting to look really frosty. ❄️✨ I’ve been following the BioBizz week 6 feeding schedule, as it’s almost time to flush the plant—just 2-3 more weeks to go! 💧 I’m getting more excited each day as we move closer to harvest. Can’t wait to see how everything finishes up! 😁🌱
