She is massive. Some of her leaves are already getting trichomes.

Week 9 Day 57 trichomes are mainly cloudy few still clear and a couple starting to go amber. Day 58 started flushing Day 61 looking for a few more amber trichs and more of the pistols to go brown and curl back

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

Good day! The Royal Gorilla - is amazingly strong plant, a lot of branches covered with the flowers. And the most amazing for me - is the aroma. Really... the aroma is so FRUITY and sweet. For now it is Number 1 aroma for me. Big bucket of fruits.:) So nothing to say about the vegetation- there was no issue at all. The Gorilla likes all feeding and watering. I will start adding some PK from next week. Also the flowering begun very fast and right now I have 2 more autoflowers with the same birthdate :) the Gorilla is champ. Please check the pictures. i will make more this week - the flowering is most beautytime to make some photos.

Welcome growers We are in the last day of week n°4 in bloom for this little but gorgeous CREAM CARAMEL 🍬🍭🍫 Very impressive strain Super fast in developing buds with already some nice sweet notes Also the trichomes are come in a good amount and still increase The defoliation last week dosen't stop her job 💪 I think she can be like i want in maximum in another month, so eight week of flowering in total. But we will see.. Anyway.. In this last week i have only put some sticks in the ground, where I will go to tie the branches, to mimic more solid branches in order to increase the biomass 🌳 About nutrients 👇 I still using organic/veganic nutrients at any watering 💧 A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) , a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) /Fioritura (Biomagno) / Bloom vegan (Bionova) / Biomassa (Biomagno) / Florastimo (Biomagno) and i started to use some enzymes present in the Sensizym (Advanced Nutrients) That's it for the week.. See you at the next upgrade 📆 Thanks for stopping and watching this grow cycle 😎👍👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Pistils are slowly turning brown, trichomes cloudy and buds are ripening. Started flushing the soil this week for the next 7-14 days depending on the progress of the plants.

FORBIDDEN 🚫 RUNTZ by FASTBUDS WEEK #14 overall Week #13 Veg This week she's still in veg not sure why she hasn't started to flower yet 😕 Hopefully she starts to flower shortly. Stay Growing!! Fastbuds FORBIDDEN 🚫 RUNTZ

🌚 Darkside Cookies • Height: 6.0” • Width: 12” (leaf tip to leaf tip) • Training: LST – strong lateral spread already • Notes: • Fastest growth of the 3 • Taking more water than others • Good node spacing, vigorous side branching

Tag 49 Green Crack und Blue cheese und nochmal bisschen entlaubt

46.day

Estamos cursando el día 11 desde el brote. Tienen buena pinta. Sin duda revisaré el Ph del agua de riego.. tengo la impresión de que está un poco alto. Continuamos fertilizando lo mínimo. 100 ml en cada maceta cada riego. Buenos humos 💨

Day 36-42 Ladies gettting bigger. Putting in net for LST Btw Day 42 already Flower Day 4! So the pics near the end are start of flower :) In my opinion the stretch is not that much, so keep them ladies longer in veg. Looking back i d say veg another 10 days maybe and then get them into flower. Mine was too early

Last week of flower! Trikes are mostly milky with a few amber showing up. The Frosty Bananas is a little ahead of the Apple Candie but 1 more week should be fine. This is by far the best bud I have ever grown. I know 90 percent is the genetics but I have also completely changed how I grow. Soil, food, watering and lights. The anticipation is killing me..

22cm vertical growth this week! Definitely entered flowering.

This girl has finally come to an end she has been delightful to grow no issues looks incredible and I'm looking forward to see the weight. Put it into jars to cure and check out and there potency aswell as taste i we'll continue to update once I dry yet. Ones cure it has a very high potency and it has a taste very unique hard to describe. thank you for reading and have a happy grow

Lots of defoliating underneath for improved airflow. Lights running 100%. Plants have good bud set. Looking great so far I cannot complain. Co2 1500ppm,Humidity 60%,Temp 75-78f.

Second week, everything is going well, lst adjusment and light defoliation

I could have pushed the plant one week longer but im on a scedule
