After having my first plant that I gave hose water and sunlight be cut in half by a caterpillar, and my first indoor plant to get botrytis. This has been my first fully successful harvest and I couldn't be happier. Been listing to all of the GFYH podcast with Rasta Jeff and learned most of the steps through listening on repeat at work. This plant is very fun to grow, it will naturally fill it's canopy without much LST and occasionally topping. I have no complaints about the nutrients, mostly using FoxFarm items, the trio is nice and I can see the difference when I pushed to far either way with them, the plants would respond pretty quickly and I could fix and possibly compensate for the mistake and they would bounce back like nothing. Not having experience with other brands I'll say that I am happy enough to keep it as a constant variable for my personal refinement in becoming a better grower. I plan to continue growing this strain for a while so that I can have a way to see my improvement, and I will likely make another journal after at least a couple harvests.

25-2: Throughout the week, I'm observing two phenomena simultaneously: a portion of the upper leaves turning a lighter green and/or appearing to have a yellowish hue. One plant has curled leaves at the top of the plant but limited to one layer of leaves. The tips are yellowed with dark spots. Due to rapid growth, the plant flew too close to the sun and burned its wings, was my assessment. In other words, light burn. The leaves becoming lighter are located in several layers from the top to halfway down the plant. I suspect there is a deficiency and perform a slurry test. The EC is low at 0.24 and the pH is good at 6.3. The soil is still too wet to feed, which presents a dilemma: feed with the risk of wet feet or wait a bit longer with the risk that the deficiencies become more severe? To mitigate this, I gave foliar feeding (Terra Bloom 0.5 ml per liter) by spraying the leaves without really wetting them. I did this just after the lights were out. A day later, I first flushed the plants with a few liters of water pH 6.4 and then gave them nutrients with EC 1.3 and pH 6.4: Terra Bloom (+/- 4 ml per liter), Sugar Royal (1 ml per liter), and a tiny bit of Great White and orthosilicic acid. And hung the lights back at 30 cm. It seems to be working because I see the color coming back slightly and the yellowing has at least stopped. Furthermore, I'm keeping the day and night temperature a bit higher at about 25 degrees Celsius during the day and around 21 at night. This is to limit the humidity at night and during the day to increase the VPD to about 1.45. At the end of the week I see the end of the stretch and standing 87 cm tall at average. The gas is on, and ready to go full throttle to the finish! SensiMiller Dr. Green Thumbs Plant Wizz GPT has the day off :) 23-2: "At week 9, our Skunk #1 Feminised plants have shown notable progress. The journey so far has been a blend of anticipation and strategic care. This week, we observed a robust growth spurt, a testament to the nurturing they've received. The balance of water, light, and nutrients has been key. Reflecting on the journey, it's clear that each decision, from the lighting schedule to the nutrient mix, played a crucial role in their current state. Their resilience and growth are not just a result of our efforts but a dance with nature itself." Dr Green Thumbs I can concur with my artificial assistant that the ladies are looking good and the strategy worked. However, this also required constant care, monitoring, observation, discussing the state of the plants, options, and mitigation with Dr. Green Thumbs GPT, and thinking ahead. SensiMiller

Today I spread eggshells and baking soda on the surface of the floor. I watered until wastewater came out and then immediately measured the pH. #1 drain ph 6.5 #2 drain ph 7 for both looking so sick, the pistils extremely large and resinous🤩 (Day 58) The baking powder probably didn't do them any good.But they look very good and are covered in trichomes.Even the stems where the buds begin are covered with trichomes. (Day 60) Watered 2500ml water and removed some dying leaves.(Day 62)

Entering week 2 of flower! She did A LOT of growing and changing in the first week and I was able to get her canopy laid out nicely in the 4X4! This week is a continuation of that. Slowing tying down branches as not to stress her out. She came down with some broad mites last week ( I can only assume despite all precautions, I brought them home from work, as we had a problem with them in our veg room a couple weeks back) Steady, heavy Nuke Em applications is showing improvement! 3/28 Update: We seem to have won against the bugs! I will continue preventative sprays for a week or so just to be sure they are gone, but I think we are in the clear. I believe I have successfully managed her canopy as well. We are two weeks into the stretch and she has plenty of room to go up now (which was my main concern with her)! I actually brought her down from 43in in the last week of veg to 40 inches this morning through dropping a net and slowly tying and spreading branches! 😁

Bien pues ya tenemos en marcha el 2º seguimiento del perfil... Son 6 white truffles, 6 Apple&Bazzokies de GBSTRAINS y 5 GG4 de GBSEEDS que se empezaron a germinar el 15 de mayo por la tarde sobre las 19:00 Todas nutridas con BOOM nutrients jejeje Todas las semanas iremos viendo los cambios y la evolución, los riegos y las flores que vendrán :) El 16 de mayo del 23 sobre las 07:00 de la mañana pase las semillas del vaso con agua, a los tapers con servilleta. Ahí estuvieron 24 horas mas haciendo un total de 36 horas germinando para después, pasarlas a las macetas de 1 litro. 22/05/23 actualizado, meto unas fotos mas de como van las semillas después de 7 días desde que se empezaron a germinar en el vaso de agua. A día 22/05/23 llevamos 7 días desde que se empezaron a germinar. ACTUALIZACION DE ESTADO: 30/05/23 Subo unas fotos después de 8 días. Llevamos 15 días desde que se empezó a germinar las semillas en vaso de agua. A partir de aquí, empiezo a contar semanas de crecimiento. Trasplantaremos a maceta definitivas de 7L dentro de una semana o 2.

Week 9 Update — Gorilla Zkittlez (Flowering Progress) Dates: 11/17–11/20 Medium: Coco Water Source: RO Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms ⸻ 🌱 Feeding & Dry-Back Strategy This week she only received two feedings as I’m pushing a longer dry back to strengthen the root zone and slow vertical growth. 🗓️ 11/17 & 11/20 Feeding (1 gal each) • 4 ml Green Sensation – PK booster to enhance flower density and terp production • 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom – Adds structural strength, helps the plant handle high-intensity light • 14 ml Coco A – Base nutrient providing nitrogen + essential micros • 18 ml Coco B – Boosts phosphorus & potassium for flowering development • 4 ml Pure Zym – Enzymes that break down dead root mass & improve nutrient uptake • 8 ml Royal Rush – Metabolic stimulant for increased vigor and resin output • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic – Improves nutrient absorption & overall plant energy • pH: 5.8 • PPM: ~1300 ⸻ 💡 Light & Canopy Management She stretched harder than expected late into Week 9 and grew too close to the light. I had to raise the fixture, but I’m officially out of headroom — the light can’t go any higher. • Light was raised as high as possible • Canopy now sits just below the fixture • Watching closely for light stress or foxtailing Despite this, she’s handling the intensity surprisingly well. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Health She’s built like a monster this week: • Extremely thick main stalk — easily one of the thickest of the run • Lateral branches are sturdy and holding weight well • No signs of nutrient burn even with 1300ppm • Dry-back is helping keep internodes tight and reduce stretch I’m genuinely impressed with how thick the trunk got — she’s built for heavy buds. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression Gorilla Zkittlez is stacking nicely as Week 9 wraps up. Flowers are continuing to swell, the plant is still drinking steadily even with reduced feedings, and structure is strong enough to support chunky buds without additional stakes yet.

The leaves continue to turn yellow from the bottom. It seems that I started fertilizing too quickly and the tips of the leaves burned a little

Salutations, my fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the much-anticipated Week 3 Flower Report for our radiant queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. The journey through the flowering phase is akin to watching a mesmerizing performance, and Jealousy, true to her name, has us all captivated. As we transition into the third week of flowering, the grow room has transformed into a sanctuary of delicate buds, and Jealousy, adorned in green jewels, is perpetually in prayer. It's like witnessing a botanical congregation, where each bud is a devout follower, reaching for the heavens in pursuit of the ultimate floral nirvana. Now, let's talk about the delay. The ticking clock of the contest deadline has kept us on our toes, and yet, Jealousy stands resilient. Despite the time constraints, she continues to unfurl her petals with grace, and I can't help but marvel at her determination. It's like a race against time where our green queen is sprinting toward the finish line with unwavering resolve. In the midst of this floral ballet, the clones, those green offshoots of our regal Jealousy, have rooted with astounding success. It's like witnessing the next generation of botanical royalty sprouting from the roots of their majestic ancestor. These rooted clones are not just a testament to Jealousy's genetic prowess but also a green insurance policy for the future. And let's not forget the continuous prayer pose that Jealousy maintains. This phenomenon, known as "praying leaves," where the foliage points upward toward the light source, is a visual testament to the plant's happiness and optimal conditions. It's like Jealousy is sending leafy blessings to the botanical gods, asking for a plentiful harvest. As we navigate the third week of flowering, let's extend our gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron, the silent architects of our green utopia. Their contributions continue to shape the landscape of our horticultural adventure. A hearty applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and collective wisdom are the threads that weave the fabric of our green journey. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your buds swell with abundance, and may the contest deadline bow down to the prowess of your green kingdom. Here's to a week of perpetual prayer, botanical grace, and the anticipation of a harvest that will leave us all in awe. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

Hoy quiero compartir mis pensamientos sobre el estado de mis plantas. Sinceramente, quería creer que no habían sufrido mucho por el frío, pero desafortunadamente la realidad resultó ser diferente. Algunas de ellas parecen un poco deprimidas y su crecimiento se ha ralentizado. Pero no me doy por vencido y sigo esforzándome por su recuperación. Además, no me gusta el régimen de luz que se ha utilizado desde el inicio de la siembra de las semillas, 12/12. La próxima vez utilizaré 18/6. Espero que esto ayude a estimular su crecimiento y desarrollo. Ayer empecé a darles a las plantas PK13/14 en una dosis de 1 ml/l y Diamond Nectar en una dosis de 2 ml/l. Espero que estos aditivos les ayuden a obtener los nutrientes necesarios y a estimular el proceso de floración y crecimiento. A pesar de algunas dificultades, no me doy por vencido y sigo cuidando de mis plantas. Creo que con el cuidado adecuado y las condiciones apropiadas, podrán superar las dificultades y crecer saludables y fuertes. Sigo siendo optimista y seguiré creciendo junto con ellas.

10/05/2018 I'am thinking about 2 weeks out ?🙏 Cooler weather coming soon, buds starting to swell up i believe. #2,and #4 are the only ones to get any mold. All others are clear of any sign of mold. Number 1 seems to have more of the ghost 👻 train haze smells a!most identical to it but a little something different.Brrrr it's 41° out , now it's 39° Ps I think #1 will go 70 -78 days 10-11weeks? Potted plants will be at 63-72 days but just a guess the trich's will tell me when.👍

Week 7 let's go ! Day 152 - 04/11 : The plant symptoms have seemed to slow down. The soil is also starting to dry out a bit more which might have been a problem. Day 155 - 07/11 : She was flushed in the morning with about 4L of water and 2L of a 30% strength microbial+trichoderma tea to innocculate the soil in case the microlife took a hit. The run off was 1L. I also switched the 400W MH for a 400W HPS to finish off with a little extra boost of light + different spectrum and see if it makes any differences. The light were moved up by approximately 20-30cm. They are now at about 70cm from the plant. I wondered if the light were maybe too close and caused all those strange symptoms. Let's see if there is any change in their behaviour. Day 156 - 08/11 : It seems the plant is a lot happier. It has only been a day but I feel like she is fattening up faster suddenly. Or it could be that she has recovered from the slight chock from a few days ago. Day 158 - 10/11 : Yep she is definitely happy again. I am convinced it was the light or at least it was part of the problem, I am seeing a lot of growth all of a sudden, on all plants and not just this one. Trichome are up, pistilles are up, calyxes swelling, everything is running smooth again. She is looking ready already, from a bud general appearance I could almost harvest now, but the trichomes are still mostly clear and I have a feeling she has a little more in her. I suspect the reason for such large amount of already brown trichomes might have been the light excess they went through.
