As we hit day 56 of my cannabis grow journey 7 plants 3 LST 3 Normal 1 Top. Let's catch up on how the Gorilla Glue strain is doing: Plant Growth: The Gorilla Glue plants are standing tall, measuring between 40-45cm, with the ones under low-stress training (LST) slightly shorter. Despite the unpredictable weather, they're thriving, boasting lush foliage and dense bud formations hinting at the upcoming harvest. It's clear that each plant has benefited from the TLC poured into their care. Nutrient Regimen: With flowering in full swing and the weather throwing curveballs, I've tweaked the nutrient mix to ensure the buds get the support they need. Alongside the usual Bio Bloom, Autogrow nutrients, SST Juice, Guano, and Worm castings tea, I've introduced Rockbastyk, a supplement tailored for the end of the flowering stage. It's all about giving them the best shot at success. Observations: The weather has been all over the place, with temperatures fluctuating like crazy. Despite this, the Gorilla Glue plants are soldiers, adapting to whatever nature throws at them. They've shown incredible resilience, proving that they're up for any challenge. The Low-Stress Training (LST) plants are a prime example of this resilience, despite their shorter stature. Their buds are flourishing, filling every nook and cranny thanks to the LST technique. However, one plant got a bit too stressed and ended up stunted. I'm keeping a close eye on it, giving it the extra care it needs to bounce back. The untouched plants are also holding their own, growing bigger with "fluffier" buds. It's fascinating to see how they compare to the manipulated ones. As for the topped plant, it hit a rough patch with stunted growth initially. But it's bouncing back nicely now, sporting four main apex buds, albeit a tad behind schedule. Last week, I did a major trim to tackle the bushy look that was getting out of hand. I made sure to only remove what was necessary, allowing for proper photosynthesis and nutrient distribution to continue uninterrupted.

Day 64: It seems to go well. I am still keeping an eye on the "hanging" leaves. I think they tend to hang a little more when light on, and less with light off but its hard to say if it is normal. It might be as @GrowingGrannie mentioned, they might be under watered, as there is not much run-off at the last couple of watering's, maybe 1l each time and I will give them a 30% run-off next time to be sure UPDATE: I have noticed some more brown spots on the right plant caused by Calcium Deficiency. I think I should up the PH a bit more, going for 6.5 this time. I will also increase my CalMag supplement by 50%, and do 30% run-off today Day 66: Thank you all for the kind answers ๐Ÿ™ You all have different opinions, and it is hard to pinpoint the exact problem. I am almost certain that I got some heat/light stress as mentioned by @GrowingGrannie and @Chow_13. I have therefore raised the lamp and are keeping the dimmer very low, using about 140W in total. I am still investigating if there might be other problems to it. @m0use, thank you for your answer. I do not think they are thirsty, at least not any more, as I am already on the subject for the last couple of days. About PH, It was difficult to get a good picture of the PH solution, but it was light-green to green (6.5-7.0) on the picture (And that was run-off PH) and what I put in was adjusted slowly from yellow to light-green aka 6.0-6.5 (I wrote 6.25 but it was auto adjusted) @gottagrowsometime, thank you for the answer. I do not think it is a nitrogen toxicity. My leaves aren't that dark green, although they are a bit to the dark side but not like what I see on other pictures with that problem. I also think the curling is caused by light/heat stress as I just got a new lamp and are experimenting with it. But I will keep your suggestion in the back of my head! @Chow_13, thank you very much for your answer. I think you are spot on, however I am not sure it is the only problem... It might be as you say, nutrients are not absorbed correctly due to the light-stress, but I will not put all my money on that @Nugsery and @GrowingGrannie, a big thank you for your answers. The deficiencies might not be the same, but the cure is very similar. I cannot make up who is right, but I do have a plan. I will follow your recommendation @GrowingGrannie and @Nugsery, and do a flush, but with a ph 5.8 as both nutrients should be able to be absorbed in that level. I will then give her a light nutrient mix and adding PK, also 5.8 ph. This is almost the same solution for both deficiencies. I will then slowly get the ph back to 6.2 @ernesttwwg, thank you for your answer. I have known for some time I have some Interveinal chlorosis, but I do not know what is causing it. There is multiple deficiencies giving those symptoms. The tacoing of leaves, and leaf tips curling down I think is caused by the light, and I have therefor raised the light. I will keep investigating the symptoms you mention OBS: I will not edit my nutrient schema as this is only temporarily, next watering will be as described UPDATE: After flushing with 15L~ ph 5.8~ and a small feed with 5.8~ ph I still get about 6.5~ ph in my run-off water. I am going to do another flush tomorrow to see I can bring it down to around 6.0~ ph Day 67: I think I see small improvements on the leaves. The new heat/light level seem to have done something. I did that second flush and are still getting about 6.5 ph in run-off.... I think I will let her dry for now, monitoring what happens, and do another flush in a couple of days

Whoa this one is very strong and grows a lot, and I fear she may stretch like hell as soon as she starts flowering. She's already in transition, so I'll see if I dont have to take on any severe measure to prevent her from reaching beyond-the-lights heights ๐Ÿ™ Since I use this grow room for early vegetation and autoflowering plants, She's having a 24 /0 light schedule in this way: 18 hours 400 W, 6 hours 100 W. I hope this one starts to flower soon and that she won't take over the room before stopping flowering stretch. With these autoflowering plant I did almost all techniques together (Except FIMming and ScroG)

Per fortuna sono riuscito a tornare in tempo e le mie piante stanno bene! Non ho potuto monitorare per niente e mi sono affidato alle poche indicazioni che avevo lasciato e non posso lamentarmiโ€ฆin questa settimana i fiori sono cresciuti e le piante hanno raggiunto la loro altezza massima, alcune stanno giร  scaricando le riserve di nutrienti e alcune foglie sono diventate gialle, vedrรฒ se aggiungere un ultima volta il Top Dress di Dogma Organics per dare loro supporto per le ultime settimaneโ€ฆper ora sono super soddisfatto sia delle genetiche di Fast Buds che del super soil di Dogma Organics..รจ tutto cosรฌ semplice ed efficace per queste ragazze e il risultato lo vedi giร  dalla crescita vegetativa, le piante hanno solo bisogno della tua attenzione per il ciclo asciutto/ bagnato ed il resto andrร  bene sicuro!!!

Extremely frustrated with bugs that got taken care of with some neem oil and ladybugs. Now this Northern Lights went from a front runner to completely sick and dying. Idk how it happened to just one plant and in a short period of time. All in all though, everything else growing is fine besides the Northern Lights.

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence itโ€™s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Mondayโ€™s Blue, itโ€™s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

At first tastes like orange all the way now it has a creamy side to it too and it packs a punch every time I smoke it im in a phase of nearly falling asleep body feels warm and fuzzy (lovely high) very strong! Buds come dense and sticky best one Iโ€™ve grown so far! Actually the FFT8 mmmm is drying and smells the best! Best girl Iโ€™ve grown so far and my auto experience has only been a dream! I will continue to do both autos and femz and try and expand my experience now and try new things but Iโ€™ll defiantly be sticking to organic! My fastbuds tester fft8 is fully covered with frostiness and smells a dream! So defiantly will be choosing organic always had the biggest plants densest buds when using organic! Wish I did with these girls but all in all she was amazing and yielded A whopping 55.15 shy off 2 oz off a single plant! My green crack and purple queen came up to just over a Z! Iโ€™ll be growing orange sherbet again already started her lol hope you enjoy gromies! Smoke and ash report in about 2 weeks let these babies cure a bit! This girl rises above all the others! Handled the heat at 36c at a couple of times! She got the most resin and terps she absolutely smells of orange peel and orange sunset sunny D! Iโ€™m amazed at how much she yielded and I didnโ€™t even top her! Amazing stuff would recommend to anyone even the most basic growers can handle this one!

Easy week just coasting on RO and flawless finish, watching these girls live out their last days. Went 24 hours before harvest without water, made for nice easy deleafing. Hanging in the dry tent at 58-60% RH for the next 7-14 days with a fan indirectly moving air. Once I got the plants out of the pots to check out the roots could see right away they were having issues. Usually can pick up the whole soil block with the remaining stem, but two of three ripped out of the soil when I tried. The airdomes which are normally packed with nice healthy roots had mostly slimy dark roots. Not looking great at all, still thinking it was my shocking then with wrong nutes that did it. Have never seen such unhealthy roots, surprised they finished! Have a few more seed will have to run her again down the road. Thanks for following along, keep an eye for final weight once dry is done.

QUESTION: I've been using a 200W LED which is supposed to replace a 400W HPS. She draws actual 200W. Should I now put the wattage used to 200W or 400W ? ? ? ? ? ------------------------ What started as as a 'just for fun' - project turned out to be my longest going grow ever. I cut her down yesterday when it was still 2017. Today it's 2018! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! For the ones wondering why it took 27 weeks: I started under a very small 50W bulb as it was only a just fun project so she vegged for ages. She would have been way faster if I grew her under normal conditions ;) The wet weight is 384 with the branches still on like in the hanging pictures. I only cut the bigger fan leaves off. Haven't smoked it yet so I just put it to 50/50 sat/ind -> smoke report to be updated... :) _________ After trimming, cutting and drying I got 54 grams on the scale. Well, I'm a bit dissapointed considering the outcome in grams but I think the quality is quite ok this time. Smoke report to follow soon... ;)

Inicio de floraciรณn , fotoperiodo 12/12h. bajo 300W, ATS Pro 2,7 ยตmol/J. Por lo que hace al cultivo. Una segunda aplicaciรณn foliar con Spider boom 3ml/l para prevenir posibles plagas de araรฑa roja. Todo y habiendo unas temperaturas en el exterior de 0ยบC en el interior se estรก bastante biรฉn. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Asรญ de primeras diria que esta luminaria me parece de lo mejorcito que he tenido nunca, reparte la luz como ninguna otra penetrando mucho mejor. Otra es la comodidad para bajar o subir la potencia y la posibilidad de aรฑadirle un controlador que monitorea la temperatura de la sala de cultivo, el fotoperiodo y la intensidad, asรญ como la atenuaciรณn de potencia. Esta semana cansado de ir bajando o subiendo la potencia del extractor durante todo el aรฑo he decidido probar un SMSCom Smart Controller. De esta manera espero no sufrir tanto por las subidas ni por las bajadas de temperatura. Muchas veces son las que por A o por B descuido el interior y casulamente son los dias que el tiempo cambia repentinamente. Un primer foliar con Delta9 para que se pongan fuertes para lo que les viene.

Hi you all :) This week the plants recover well from the HST that I do on them. Thay really start to spread all over in my 80ร—80 cm tent. So I'm decided to Deploy a net to better arrange the branches and better use of my grow space. In the next week I'm going to add the nutritions of the flowering phase because they are starting to flowering. Good luck you all!

So we started feeding them. just some organic growth by BAC and some Calmag. Mostly around the sides of the pots to encourage the roots and start the Microlife overall. We have used nice lukewarm water and added some sugar sirop to activate all the wee beasties. The growth last week was phenomenal although one is going faster than the other. For this reason I changed them around, should climate on that spot have anything to do with that. Now we are looking at other XL runts diaries, to learn from the best performers and copycat their methods to maximize yields with this setup. We will decide if we will just LST them or give them a top... Have to be quick tho, these ladies will flower soon... Thank you for checking my grow, hope you are successful on yours and Il be checking you out in coming days as I have a little more time. Big hug as always and see you next week!

๐Ÿ† Eternity Grow Cup 2025: Plagron and Zamnesia ๐Ÿ† Strain: Runtz - Zamnesia Seeds Our girl is doing great! It's day 43 since sprouting, and 13 days since we switched the light to 12/12. She's grown significantly, with many branches stretching upwards. Given how many there were, I decided to trim her and removed about 10 thick and thin branches. Iโ€™m not sure how this will affect her, but I'm hoping to get fewer colas, though thicker and denser ones. We donโ€™t waste anything from the pruning. The leaves that we cut off are frozen, then crushed in a blender. We mix the resulting mass with water, let it sit, and then water the plant with this solution. Additionally, we finely chop the leaves and mix them into the top layer of the soil, a practice called mulching. This way, we recycle everything and make full use of the plant material.

Day 82 - Added a new nutrient to bulk up on PK from Canna. Guide says to do this only once, so fingers crossed. Still trying to figure out how close I am. I keep seeing other pictures of what look to be near leafless buds, and the buds look absolutely huge. The problem for me as a first time grower is that I cannot figure out what the scale is, and so have no idea if the photos I see are very close up or not. Also, I keep seeing others pictures of what look to be really extended and pointy buds, and mine look nothing like those either. Can't tell if it's the angle or the actual shape. I'm sure I'll learn, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track. Loving the learning though. Such fun. And macro photography is hard.

Good update, got some hand pollination done and hopefully some seeds will pop out of these bitches in a few weeks. The video shows the pollen falling out of the nanners in the calyx I plucked off the plant. Use plant A's pollen to pollinate plant B, and used plant B's pollen to pollinate plant A. This is not 100% as the plants now have both their protective domes off of the one reversed branch. Cant say for cretin its not blowing aorund on its own and back crossing on the same plant. Any who this week was going to be a top up week on nutrients as well for this plant but given its heavy feeding and burning before I skipped out on that and will probably not need to do anything for the rest of its grow. It should be not focused on creating seeds and that should use up whats left in the medium. If its showing any signs I will use a basic liquid feed for house plants just to give it something or make a "tea" out of a scoop of Herb Thrive 5-4-5 and some acid. Other plants got a transplant and top up so that's why the water had all the beneficials this week and last.
