26 days since my little girl sprouted from a seed🌱
Third week of growing my Gorilla Cookies Auto 🦍🍪🦍
Nutrients:
I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, always according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 -
- Dutch Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾
- Dutch Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients needed for rapid growth and development of fruits, provides energy to the plant; intended for the flower phase 🌸🌿
- Dutch Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply calcium and magnesium in organic quality to plants for a long time or immediately. 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. Aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------
During the flowering period, I add Advanced Nutrients stimulators:
- Bud Ignitor (first two weeks of flowering) - flower stimulator 🌸🏵️
- Bud Candy - carbs for my girls 🍭🍭🍭
- JUNGLE - ENVIRON X is a highly effective complex product
stimulate the formation of flowers. Contains no synthetic growth regulators (PGRs).
• multiplies yield and increases product quality
In general:
Gorilla Cookies Auto 🦍🍪🦍 - The girl went into the flowering phase, so I adjusted the nutrients. She grew a lot in height, because she germinated 10 days later than the other girls in the tent. It responds very well to nutrients, is strong and has a beautiful green color 🍃💚
Training:
During this period, I usually do another defoliation and LST 💚🌞🌞
Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants react effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly 💡💡💡
See you soon 😍💚

D78/FD50 - Apologies, a week late on my report. So, the Cookies are being a bit of a dick really!!! The Cheese is striking them and trying to take a few wee bits here and there to save the crop but dont know if I am being agressive enough...Time will tell!!! Tried a bit of Cinnamon around the affected buds and it does appear to stop the rot on contact but don't know how it will impact them. Will continue to monitor...
**Update** D84/FD56 - Cookies have become a real problem...Partial harvest time!!! Taking what looks to be "ripe enough" off the girls and leaving some lower buds to mature...hopefully they've not been too impacted. Had some real obvious ones that had to go and though I had some nice keepers, until I started trimming them down for the box to dry and random buds in the bunch had wee bits of grey mold at the stem!! Mild but just not doing it!!! Total bastard!!! Lost about 3-4oz (expected dry weight) easy!!! So no trim kept, all binned or burnt!
All a bit of a ballache but, what can you do!!! Anyway, happy growing all!!! 💪

Week 6 and my girls are finally in flower! 😍
And wow, the girl on the front stretched out a lot and it seems she's also a couple of days more mature than her sister! That also helped me to take some cool photos in a really short span of time! Hopefully the ones I took are enough! Don't forget to check the timelapse of well!!
My girls now are taking flower fertilizers and I did some more aggressive LST on them, plus a very selective defoliation for both girls. I want the light to spread as much as possible to get some big flowers in the future!
Sadly, not everything was good! I noticed some magnesium deficiency on the girl that's on the back. Perhaps I was giving them a water that was too high in pH? Or what else could it be? Maybe a root lockout? No idea but I decided to lower the pH of this week and see how she evolves.
Anyway, that's all for now. Stay safe, please enjoy the photos and see you all next week! 😁

Hello Growers & Tokers!
The route to having a jungle starts with the roots!
That's why my main goal in those first 14-21 days is developing the root system.
I like to give them time to expand the roots which is very important for a healthy plant.
That also gives them more time to get bigger and stronger before going into flower.
More growth, more bud sites, more buds. Trust me the wait is worth the reward.
We'll be seeing some truly sweet and zenzational flowers.
This week they got transplanted to their final pot, 11L fabric pots.
It's one step closer to getting that jungle, zenzational!
Medium used was Light Mix from BioBizz.
Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots.
Let the mycorrhizae do its job and take over the soil, then the roots just follow.
Take care out there and happy growing!

Plant has recovered from training a further defoliation. Topped the high branches as they are approaching the top of the greenhouse.

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later.
I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Dico che vanno alla grande e anche le foglie prendisole si appiccicano alle mani....
😅😅😅🌶️ un buon odore forte ti accompagna tutto il giorno dopo averle accarezzate.
Credo che per natale o anche prima le ragazze saranno pronte.
Tanti auguri🎄Ozzy

Start of week 6! Glueberry OG is growing strong however she's also getting hungrier and I made feed her an extra liter part way through this week. She's incredibly sticky, just like glue lol! Bud sites are looking good and development is strong.

Lots of smells have become their own... The fried banana has this crazy skunk smell with a real earth dirt smell once the skunk fades... The orange cake NO kidding, smells like a fresh peeled orange and some kind of batter smell... It's nuts...
The big Z has the immediate Skittles blast with a earthy afternote... And the paint is just like the last one and smells real chemical like! When u say the name it makes u smell the paint... Is that just me???? Hahaha anyways... Thats what I got .. everything is going amazing and for day 37 I think they've filled out real nice... Now hopefully they fatten up in the next 20-30 days!!!!

Hi everyone 🤗.
The last 5 women are nearing their end 😍.
They will be harvested in the next 2-3 weeks.
The rest of the ones that have already been harvested are currently fermenting 😍.
The finished harvest pictures come when everyone is finished together 👍.
This ends the last diary that was kept with several varieties.
From now on only single strain diaries are coming, all individually ;-).
I wish you a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

week intel:
its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first
because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days
stresses :
flushing
Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week
feeding:
day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph
day 3 : no more feeding from now on
day 5 : no more feeding from now on
guide of the week :
i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave.
indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner.
my dry and cure style is this:
3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month.
im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Still HOT and Sunny with no end in sight. Noticing that pre-flower stretch over the last week, she's towering over me now well over 7 feet tall. Nothing but drip every 5 days and she's thriving. Still amazed in this heat she can go that long without water. Raspberries are plentiful this year, watermelon's coming in beside her and my favorite Himalayan blackberry's are next in the back. Invasive maybe, but an absolute island favorite I've managed to tame.

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I have grown the Gorilla Cookies auto before so this photoperiod fast version has something to live up to. She grew way taller then i was expecting, hence the many bends and breaks. To be honest she was great to grow and the favourite plant of the grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week.
Total dry weight for the grow, decent buds=136g
Light power
Total= 200.43Kw
18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs
12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs
Total hours for lights= 1308hrs
200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average.
Average 153w/hr
Total g/W=0.89g/W
Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63
Each gram cost £1.12
The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow and a picture.
Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

going fine. that tip bleaching is here to stay :)
i’m defoliating and lollipopping everyday. couple of leaves here couple of leaves there a growth tip here a side shoot there..
watered yesterday with 3.5l or something. distilled dehum water.
caribe transitioned too fast. it didnt give me any stretch which was strange and cannalope as expected hasnt even started transitioning. i think caribe is gonna be overshadowed by the cannalope.
dinachem looks lighter in the photos but its not really that light green in color. dinachem x peyote cookies gave me more stretch than i expected but seed runs are always full of surprises haha they both finished stretching atm so they will start filling up in the coming weeks.
destroyers are fine too. yeah tip bleached a bit but leaves are very healthy otherwise. they feel soft and firm which is how they should feel. i’m plucking 10-20 leaves daily and it grows back the next day. they may give me a couple days of stretch but its not gonna grow much more than this. its not gonna double from here i mean and the 2nd destroyer is gonna be about 25% smaller than the 1st because as i mentioned not identical clones when transplanted but i’m still expecting exceptional yields and quality from both.
‘till next week!

**I start talking around 1:20 into the video**
I had to move the lights further away. I stressed the clone out a little, but we're back to good growth. I think it was good that the original setup didn't work because it made me upgrade the set up.
Plant is 19"H x 10"W
This grow is legit just an experiment with these lights.
