Well the suns been out the last few days and the girls are loving it. I think I’ll start flush although it’s a little early for some others are ready. So a one or two week flush and then we are done. After that I’ll chop as each one is ready.

This week, the buds started slowly fattening up, showing lots of trichomes and smell nice like fresh mango. Watering got more frequent, about once in a couple days.

Hopefully she continues to fatten up! Can't wait to see the final result but still a fair bit to go.

The smell when wet trimming the fans off is of sweet berrys, a little bit citrus and musky dank smell is the only way I can describe it. The drying is coming to an end, at the end of day 13 I broke a bud off that weighed a gram and had a smoke test, the flavours are there and it smooth smoke surprisingly but I think a cure will really bring the terps out.

Not really packing on as much as hoped, probably because of the genetics, or she'll only start stacking on the final weeks For the rest I didn't really change anything just letting her do her thing She seems happy, thanks for having a look

Wie man sieht, haben sich in den letzten Tagen viele neue Triebe entwickelt, was zeigt, dass die Scrog-Methode langsam Früchte trägt. Die gleichmäßige Verteilung der Triebe füllt das Netz gut aus und sorgt dafür, dass das Licht optimal genutzt wird. Dies wird in den kommenden Wochen zu einer gleichmäßigeren und ertragreicheren Blüte führen. Es ist beeindruckend zu sehen, wie sich die Pflanze dank dieser Technik entfaltet und auf das Training reagiert. Da es tagsüber sehr warm wird habe ich die lichtphase auf nachts eingestellt also zwischen 21:30 un 9:30..

I grew 3 plants 2 grew well but stalled due to water and lighting at back of a cold tent once this was sorted all grew within there height range which is small and compact with my 6.5 liter pot range 8n biobizz all mix with mycorrhizal added. This is my first ever grow and the genetics wowed me i took a lot of info in about autoflowering plants and the 2 main things that run true are pot size and reduce feed as autoFlowering plants need less due to restricted height although I saw amazing growth in 3rd -6 weeks this if you dial in could increase your yields. The plants had a mild floral berry smell during early stages and kept this smell allways through. Once in bloom they grew vigours and buds oozed resin . There colour are truly amazing I have 2 dark plants that changed colours! And 1 tall lilac plant that too on its amazing colour during late Flowering planted in cold weather these came through sweet looking. Final weight on last plant #2 dry buds in sugar leaf I leave on is 12.6 grams there still 2 lower branches I've tried to seed with her hermI pollen

Constructive interference is the phenomenon where two waves combine to form a new wave with a larger amplitude. This occurs when the peaks of one wave align with the peaks of another, and troughs align with troughs, causing their amplitudes to add together. For example, if two identical waves meet, their amplitudes will combine to produce a resultant wave with double the original amplitude. Constructive interference is a fundamental phenomenon based on the universal laws of nature, specifically the principle of superposition. 👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrification process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work. Oxygen is the alchemist's "fire"

24/02: Colas again have become real heavy in places and have had to strap them together to prevent the stalks from falling and snapping. Over all blooming well have been on maximum dose of nutrients now for a few weeks. lots of orange hairs. water now for a week and then to harvest. the topping in this grow really paid off.

Amazing strain, very easy to grow and hope to do do more Royal gorilla auto in the future and see what else RQS have to offer. Absolutely solid buds and potent asf. Taste is 9/10. thc I would say 20%+. I also used terpinator in weeks 7 and 8 at a rate of 4ml/l which I didn't list in my diary. I'm sure this contributed to the density of the buds. I will use terpinator alongside advanced nutritions range for all future plants.

29.01.2021. DAY 15 19:30 Frankenstein is already showing sex. Must be a world record :) . Noticed one fungus gnat flylier but still not doing anything about since is only one, maybe it came from outside. Keeping an eye on that flying bastards. Letting soil dry out as much as I can because fungus gnats lay eggs only on wet soil. Plant #2 is bigger than frankenstain and still not showing sex. 30.01.2021. DAY 16 23:50 Watered both plants with 1L of bottled water with 2ml rhizotonic, 3ml cannazym, 1ml terra vega(1/4 recommended normal feeding) - ph 6.5 - ppm 250. Started LST on both plants. Small crack on #2 plant from LST - my mistake, I didnt take my time and I rushed it :( . She will grow out of it its not a big deal but still mad at myself :). 31.01.2021. DAY 17 08:30 Both plants perking back up after LST. 01.02.2021. DAY 18 19:30 Some more LST. I managed to get the courage to bend plant #2 more, because it has a crack on the main stem :) .Plants are growing more horizontally now and I'm very happy about how they look now. I have a plan where each branch is going to be roughly. We will se how I manage flowering stretch :) . Lights lowered to 32cm from plants top. 02.02 2021 DAY 19 22:00 Watered with 1.2L of bottled water with 2.2ml of rhizotonic and 2.8ml of cannnazym. Ph 6.5 ppm 200. Both have very slight nute burn on the tips of the new growth. It's because of only 1ml of terra vega that i fed them last time. So they dont need nutes yet. Next watering will be with more water because think that around 1L of water did not penetrate deep enough for whole soil to be wet. Still don't know how much water to use next time. If someone who has similar setup and reading my diary can help be free to comment :) 03.02 2021 DAY 20 19:00 Did some more LST. Plants really enjoyed watering from yesturday. They were very happy :). Now after LST not so much :) 03.02 2021 DAY 20 22:00 Checked on the plants and saw plant #2 topped herself just below third node :( . I bent her over just a bit too much it seems. Really a shame. Both plants were looking perfect with the cannopy open and flat. I taped her up with duck tape and we will se how it goes. 04.02 2021 DAY 21 22:00 Plant #2 that has a broken main stem is doing nothing. No development on her at all. She is not turning yellow or growing at all. I hope she will recover. No thing new to add. Still very much depresed because I broke the stem :)

Day 86, 5th of December 2020: Craziest group I have ever had... Honestly I just want to see the end. I will be away for 2 weeks almost. Original Sensible Seeds ladies are dope. Gelato is very nice proper shape one of my favourite she is just nice and not problematic.... :) Runtz Gum is amazing nice big buds are on the way really nice! The same no problem with her at all!!!! Do-Si-Dos OG is just crazy.... She is not an easy lady... problematic... never met a plant like this one. ... Too much strech and now I need to tie and stand her up somehow i broke one branch.... I put a tape arounf so hopefully saves that bud tho....🤣 Her flowers kill her lol Black Ghost OG is sweet and good girl she is the easiest player from them she is good for begginners similar to Wedding Gelato even is shape haha.... Wedding Gelato from RQS is just perfect no problem with her at all... good for begginners as well... :) So This is how it is 5th week has started I just wanna get it done really long journey :) The lamp is now on 11 hours and off 13 hours. Every week 15 minutes was taken off and after 4 weeks here we go. Strated 12/12 and now 13/11 wanted try to imitate the nature as the light days are getting shorter. Fertilization has changed no more epsom salt from this week and I will stop giving nitrogen as well from next week.
