So far, so good. Flowering happening. 23/10 Little defoliation.

April 26th - Day 69 : Oh my god look at them.. So bushy after that defoliation. They're doing great I think.. The only concern was the laggyness of the leaves but I guess it's due to overwatering so I'll chill with water for a day or two. I started trimming the lower branches that I think aren't getting enough light. I'm trying to push the veg stage as much as I can let's see if they can take an extra few weeks.

From what I've learnt since, by defoliating and not ensuring sufficient reserves in the Substrate after taking their reserves from the bigger fan leaves at strip, this left 1 pheno more hungry than the others, but still all 4 suffered to some degree which was really disappointing. I was too busy enjoying the festive period with family so its a good enough excuse! ;)

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

12/7 These ladies are doing great! Really focusing on their buds. We added a small bit of cal mag and it seemed to pretty much stop any brown growth. #1 is just stacking buds while #2 has more and more cloudy trichomes daily. Started doing a little bit of defoliation to open up those inner sites, just gonna do a little more when she recovers from the last sessions. We are getting close to the finish line, hang in there!

A good first week from all the girls overall. They continue to develop as planned. They got watered with the spray bottle until Friday when they got a real watering. This girl is doing well. Right on track for any plant. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Saturday the seeds popped up and we are underway. Spraying the top of the soil with the water bottle to keep the topsoil moist. Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

ahora hemos llegado al final, unos días más y todo está recogido, olores fuertes e intensos, variedad lista en 50/65 días de floración para mi gusto de madurez, no muy resistente al estrés pero sigue siendo una buena genética 🍁🍁🍁🍁💪👽👍🍁🍁🍁🍁

Last few days for plant number 3 😇 Only water this week

Aug 6: Harvest is about a week away I think. Some very minor aphid appearance on lower undersides of leaves suggest I can't wait too much linger to chop. Colors remains vibrant lime green and resin is thick on shaded areas with extremely fruity, floral and pineapple aromas. Tester bud selected.

All the plants show pistils and look hralthy except the one in the middle, probably taking it out if it doesnt get better.

Woche 2 / Tag 9 Die Sativa Diven zeigen Zähne (und nasse Füße) Hallo zusammen 👋 Meine drei kleinen Diven stehen jetzt seit 9 Tagen unter der Crescience Fluxshield 450C (sweet spot bisher 210ppfd– läuft super smooth bisher). •The Real Amnesia (Growers Choice die echte holländische Clone-Lineage •Mimosa Gusher (Growers Choice 50/50 Hybrid, aber mit dem citrus mint Gusher-Vibe) •Strawberry AKeil (Serious Seeds die Frosty-Strawberry AK Queen, stark sativa lastig) Leider hab ich’s mit dem Gießen mal wieder etwas zu gut gemeint.😅 Was auch der fehlenden zeit geschuldet war, sonst gibts langere anlaufzeiten für's substrat. Besonders die Real Amnesia zeigt’s deutlich an den Keimblättern die sind jetzt schön braun angehaucht und hängen ein bisschen schlapp. Klassischer Overwatering Look, Wurzeln haben zu wenig Luft bekommen folge; → Wachstum deutlich gebremst die letzten Tage. Aber: Sie steht’s durch! Kein richtiger Crash, nur ein kleiner Denkzettel für mich. Die anderen beiden (Mimosa Gusher und Strawberry Akeil) haben es besser weg gesteckt, sehen immer noch fresh und grün aus. Aktuelle Bedingungen: Licht: Fluxshield (ca. 28–32 cm) pH: bei 6.0 Temperatur: 24 °C rel. Luftfeuchte: ~75 % Zusätzlicher ungebetener Gast: Trauermücken haben sich eingeschlichen. Aber denen vergeht bald das Lachen 👹habe direkt mit Neemöl gestartet und Nematoden (Steinernema feltiae) kommen die tage. Die Combo wird in 7–10 Tagen richtig aufräumen. Bis dahin Gelbtafeln + oberste Schicht etwas trockener halten. Fazit dieser Woche: Die Sativa-Dominas brauchen eindeutig etwas weniger Zuneigung beim Gießen als meine alten Indica-Hybriden 😄 Real Amnesia hat den größten Kratzer abbekommen, aber ich bin zuversichtlich, dass sie in den nächsten 2-3Tagen wieder richtig Gas gibt, sobald die Wurzeln wieder frei Atmen können. Die Mimosa Gusher und vor allem die Strawberry Akeil sehen super vital aus und machen schon richtig Bock auf die nächsten Wochen. Nächste ToDos: Weniger ist mehr 😅 Licht auf 300ppfd erhöhen. (Sobald nächsten blattpaare voll entwickelt) Danke fürs Vorbeischauen Feedback, Tipps immer gerne! 💚 Stay groovy und nicht zu nass gießen 😉

Salut a tous 🍁✌️ Aujourd'hui on est en 2eme semaine de floraison 😁 et franchement regarder moi ça 😁🙏 Elle ont tellement bien développé je suis tellement pressé de vraiment a visualiser cette demoiselle la 🙏😁 La lumière de Samsung au top 👍 Les nutri de Terra aquatica au top 👍 Franchement dame nature gâté moi s'il vous plaît 🙏🍁

Plants are getting big enough to train through the fence. Im thinking a vertical scrog, but its gonna be a bitch to harvest . We will see, still dunno if they are even female

This strain smell is best. It's sweety orange smell and the buds looks nice and frosty

noice.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week it looked more and more astonishing after opening the box a wonderful sweet smell wafts through the room 👍. A few days ago the Blue Cheese Phenotype 1 was harvested and placed in the dark room :-). This week both Kosher Tangie Kush phenotypes will be harvested 👍. Next week the Blue Cheese phenotypes 1 and 2 will be harvested ;-) everyone else needs a while 😀. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱👍

👌🤘

When I got into the room one day before I scheduled the harvest, her branch collapsed under the weight of the buds. Not surprising, the buds were massive and dense! This is one of the best problems to appear during a grow, could never be mad at a plant for lack of strength to support the massive buds. I decided to view it as a sign from the plant, that it's done, it had enough, so the harvest happened a day early. Her buds were too tall for my DIY Cooler and since the buds were so dense, it wasn't easy to get to the stem to cut it and since the buds were covered in trichomes, the gloves were super sticky. The genetics were pretty amazing to grow, super happy plant with amazing growth - thank you, @Exotic_Seed for the seeds! 🙏
