Week 5 bud growth is getting bigger and frosty. Honey Chome emerald harvest is definitely crystallizing the trichomes perfectly, bud candy is helping bud fattening. The buds smell sweet and potent.

2 Gorilla Cookies and 2 Red Gorilla Girl XL

Very good looking just like her sister, powerful citric and sweet aroma, very good strain, and starting to smell seriously at the start of 2nd week I'm noticing the same thing on both plants! Awesome strain

She isn’t so pungent and starting to fade purple!

Vegetation Phase - Week 2 Shoutout to Cannapot, the Austrian plug who came through with the genetics from Humboldt Seed Company. The 10 Donutz plants are pushing through their second week of veg, and while the majority are thriving, a few challenges are starting to show — all part of the game when experimenting with new soil, pots, and nutrients. Updates & Adjustments: Lamp Adjustment: Raised the light to reduce stress and give the plants more breathing room as they stretch and develop. Watering: Keeping it relaxed and minimal with reverse osmosis (RO) water. No overwatering here — slow and steady wins the race. Nutrients: If deficiency will further ill add more fertilizer. Observations: 9/10 plants are growing steadily, with vibrant green leaves and visible progress in height and structure. 1 runt: One plant is struggling hard — stunted growth, ugly leaves, and generally looking like it’s fighting for its life. Still, it’s got a spot in the tent, and we’ll see if it can bounce back. Some minor issues spotted on a few plants, likely nutrient deficiencies as they adjust to the new setup. It’s not surprising, given the new gear and methods, but nothing alarming yet. Next Steps: Staying the course with low-stress management. Let the plants adjust to their environment and dial in any issues over time. The Donutz are strong genetics, so they’ll likely power through. Even the sickly one gets a chance — no plant left behind! This sea is still on track to make waves.

They all are looking happy and enjoy their lifes :)

Great to see you and I missed you, I had some time so I created a video to thank our lovely foster company, who were so kind to let us try their light in return for a review. Now, most of you don't know I'm also into making music, mostly Techno but I also love HipHop and Gangster rap, mainly 90's Westcoast, although I'm fond of East Coast and a little dirty South, so this was an excellent time to showcase one of my tracks. So please check my Autumn-themed, not commissioned, or approved by Mars Hydro, visualization video in thanks for @MarsHydroLED. The grow has been going great! If you don't count the about a thousand fungus gnats I have been fighting. I'm manually manifolding and training the girls, into the desired shape, which is a bit hands-on but I see it as a collaboration more than a 50 shades approach to training. You can't just bust out a rope and domination on girls like that. We ease it in there, going to the limit every time, making them stretch and curl underneath the touch of our tender but firm hands. And when they are used to a little groping and fixation, we might bring out a few ropes here and there to spice it up a little. Anywaaaays.... I'm getting carried away here, back to the grow. I had bought some coco-peat, after leaving none for the top layer as I suggested to all of you in the previous weeks of my grow (if you missed it, click one week back for a full recipe (the yellow image) for everyone in Europe) left me with enormous amounts of fungus gnats. Its seems to alleviate the problem already. As it did with my previous grow the Gelato 33 Golden Canopy from Heaven. In the meantime I notice my temperatures going down so Im trying to fix that too. All in all it had been a good week and this Orange Hill Special is promising to become something special! Thanks for visiting again, see you soon!

Прекрасный темп роста. Она удивляет меня.. надеюсь этот стресc она перенесет без проблем и станет мускулистой и сильной девушкой! растение не на секунду не останавливалась в развитии.. такое чувство что стрессы ей не по чем..

The start of week 3 veg I’ve been LSTing the plant I notice development drastically every 12hrs and now just starting to spot the development of side branches and a sturdier stem and fatter leaves and new node growth I am following shogun coco nutrient schedule week by week

Den Pflanzen sehen gut aus, sie Strecken sich enorm und es ist grade mal die 1. Blüte Woche um 😅😁 The plants look good, they stretch enormously and it's just the 1st week of flowering at 😅😁

Es war eine schöne Woche. Nur 1 Tag etwas Regen. Sonst Sonne satt. Sieht man auch. Alle Autos kommen gleichmäßig gut. Einige bilden schon Zweige. Und das in weniger als 3 Wochen. Läuft gut.

This week is been great. I started with high ppm on the 2nd week for the nutrient kick , now just a low dose of growth enhancer. Good roots system. Topped them just 1 time and cleaning them from useless leafs. Using reverse osmosis water (15ppm)

11/6 Monday. She’s very very dry today. I’m gonna do 96 ounces of water she’ll take all that and I’m gonna do the medium feeding schedule and I’m gonna go with the bloom tastic I’m gonna do two mils per gallon. 11/7 after the water last night she did really good, but because I did not top her at the fourth node, I usually do. I just tied the branches back with those plastic clips I need to defoliate there’s way too much underneath I’ve never had this kind of growth before so I have to go and trim out some of the non-functioning branches and some of the bigger leaves to get some airflow and light to the bottom. She’s really great I’m super surprised last time I had bad Soil and this time I have some bugs but I’ve sprayed for them and she’s responding well I also gave that bloom hardener sooner than I should’ve but she’s doing good LST went good 👍 8 hours later she’s responding. Well leaves are starting to reach up again because I lowered the light to 92 W whenever they start pushing down it seems like there’s too much light which also means it’s cooler so it’s just great. I’m glad I got the Mars Hydro lights. They’ve made a huge difference being able to put the driver outside the tent without having to buy any extras. I’ll probably get a fourth one of those eventually. 11/8 Wednesday super early morning I dried some of the little branches. I took off overnight and I’m smoking them right now. I can’t believe it. She is so strong. Her leaves are really starting to wake up. Lowering the light made a huge difference. the light was just too powerful. I keep forgetting that so I turned it down to about 92 W and she’s really waking up today. It’s incredible and I’m a little bit dizzy. It’s a little stronger than I thought. This is one of my best ones. I really like this. 👍👍👍 11/8 PM I turned the light up 5 W. It made a pretty good difference and I raised it up about 2 inches to get a little more light spread. I did another unexpected watering today. She was completely dry so I did a full gallon. I mean 96 ounces with half gallon measured out nutrients, I had some weird issues with my water. I hope it doesn’t affect the plants. I boiled my water and I look at the top of it and lots of small particles floating on the top of the water & the bottom of the pan has something brown burned onto it. Very weird. 11/9 👍👍👍🤩 11/10 I did another watering using 96 ounces this morning. She is growing like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Last time I topped her between the third and fourth node to keep her small and I did it way too soon. I was experimenting so her main stem was really thin and this time is one of the thickest ones I’ve had, so she clearly does not like being topped and now she’s growing into a beautiful monster it’s just great is probably one of my best grows 11/11 her buds really seemed to swell overnight after the defoliation and the feeding. Lowering the lights wattage as helped I’m just going to leave her alone today, but wow.🤩 She had a really good day. I did a little extra tying down of some branches. I didn’t takeoff early any leaves just one or two let her heal a lot from trimming yesterday she doing great probably my best grow ever and the first time that I’ve just used tying the branches down instead of topping much better result for this plant. 11/12 Sunday end of the week. She has been phenomenal this week and her buds are really starting to swell. Now I have to spray for bugs. I think that the soil bugs are eating at the roots whenever I spray at the bottom of the bag I immediately could results so there’s something in the soil I’m competing with, but she is the best girl I’ve ever had. You can get up to nine free seats if you buy the right thing on seedsman and so I stocked up on these critical pluses now I know how big they get. I’m gonna keep growing these and they smell so good .

harvest, flower length 64 days, total growth time 88 days. Now wait for it to dry.

When I started the week of drying, I smelled the intense sheet cake and cherry from the flowers, it didn't surprise that he named it the je cheesecake.
