Hello Growmies, We’re now in week 9 with our Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel, and the progress is truly exciting. The plants are deep into the flowering phase, and their development is a sight to behold. Standing at an impressive height of 100 cm, these plants have fully stretched to their maximum potential. Based on the attached pictures, the plants are showing exceptional vigor. The dense foliage and multiple budding sites are clear indicators of their health and vitality. The main colas are thickening nicely, and the secondary branches are also forming substantial buds. The trichome production is visible, giving the buds a frosty appearance that promises high potency. Plants #1 and #3 continue to dominate in size and appearance, standing tall and impressive. The adjustment of the GCx 9 light spectrum to 100% flower and 35% grow spectrum has been highly effective. This setup is maintaining optimal conditions, with the lamp at its maximum height and the plants maintaining a safe distance of 10 cm to avoid heat stress. The foliage remains lush and vibrant, a clear indicator of the plants' health. The support grid is crucial at this stage, managing the shape and supporting the branches as they bear the increasing weight of the developing flowers. The root balls, as shown in the pictures, are robust and healthy, confirming that the air supply is perfect and not excessive, providing strong support for the heavy buds to come. As the buds continue to mature, the anticipation for the final harvest is building. Each plant’s unique characteristics are becoming more pronounced, promising a rich and rewarding yield. I’m thrilled with the progress and eager to see how they continue to develop in the next week. Stay lifted, Salokin

I thought, i posted last week, but it seems like I did not click the save button, but luckily I did not delete last week’s images and videos, so I posted them and with the latest images and videos. I am honoured to be growing this strain, because my first attempt was gorilla glue but I lost it when I moved back to jozi from Limpopo… but here I am getting another stab at it, though it’s not GG#4, strains that contain the gorilla gene seem to be high THC strain, I am expecting couch potatoe high.

3/30: I flushed all three #9's with about 12 gallons each with warm filtered water and Sledgehammer. One of them is suddenly ready to harvest..the other one in a 5 gallon pot is a day or two behind, and Sooperrunt still has another week to further fatten her enormous cola. I may have to try and squeeze her into the tiny tent with the other two slowpokes in a few days. 4/1: I moved one of them into the tiny tent along with a #6 to be in the dark. I'm tired from harvesting other plants and have a lot of outdoor gardening to do as well, so she may sit in the dark for a couple of days. 4/4: I'm gonna harvest the middle-sized one tomorrow, but Sooperrunt will get a drink of water and another few days.

I was quite happy to see no more signs of Cabbage Loopers. I awoke to rain this morning so spent part of the day self-supporting the heavier branch sections. All in all everything is super sexy.

Moin moin liebe growmies! Diese Woche war anstrengend (nicht mit den Ladys) im allgemeinen ich hab für den Sommer ein paar zu viele Pflanzen angesetzt (Tomaten,paprikas und Zitronen) jetzt bin ich nur noch am pflegen und das ganze im Blick haben, das ich kaum noch Zeit für andere Dinge habe 😰 aber naja das Leben ist kein Kinder Spielplatz..... So zur Woche am 07.05 und 08.05 stand nicht viel an nur zu gucken (ach ja die garten Lady ist in den garten gezogen, und bekommt einen Extra Bericht da sie länger laufen wird als die Ladys hier). 09.05.22 heute war lst angesagt um die Pflanzen in Form zu halten. 10.05.22 heute stand Gießen an es gab für alle 4 Ladys 2L Wasser mit nährlösung zusätzlich zu den microben von Bio bizz habe ich jetzt auch great white hinzu gefügt( 1tsp/8L wasser) 11.05 bis 13.05.22 beobachten und hier und da ein wenig lst um die Form zu behalten. Das war es wieder für die Woche cu growmies und viel Erfolg bei euren Damen.

Last day of the fifth week, and these plants are getting an LST treatment on the main stem, under the split. The Ph is looking better, but there are some leaves that are malformed. Probably got too dry?

25/12/18 Week 5 Flower Merry Xmas! All 4 plants are doing well, growth seems to have slowed down so I think the next few weeks are just packing on weight and then ripening. Gonna give them all some pk 13/14 on Friday - had a small problem with fungus gnats in my bathroom which eventually led them into my grow tent. Been waiting extra long between waterings to minimize the chance of them spreading - I know they love wet, mouldy coco. Got some peroxide just incase they become a problem any way. Looking to chop 15th-22nd Jan, depending on how the trichomes are looking. Lots of users commenting on how much weight GZ packs on, really hoping to get some nice dense golf-balls. My previous grow, which was two plants yielded just under 1.5oz, would really love to see a yield around 2.5oz with my current 4 plant set-up. Merry Christmas - more updates in the new year!

The Lemon Orange has a crazy mutation. She topped herself and the leaves are growing strange from the main stem. The Top gets Fluffy like it has topped itself multiple times. Unfortunately, during my absence, the ladies were under-watered and could’ve used a bit of nutrients as well. I’m optimistic they’ll bounce back and recover. I topped and defoliated them. Light is hitting the leaves with around 500 PPFD.

Hello Bros&Sis! Ciao!😊 this time I've decided to made a video update, from the start of the week to the finish, we're gonna see some BIG differences! (The longest is from the end) About the ladies: Girls in coco Royal AK- she's drinking every single drop op solution and has literally exploded! I'm really happy about her training (top/lst/hst). A very strong strain. OG Kush- I don't get this girl, she's definitely not an heavy drinker. Speedy Chile FF- when I re-potted her into 6lt pot, some of my Bros hoped for a Baobab, what do you think?😂 (has some mutations, has a growth of 3 leaves and then 2 branches have joined together and the other has grown normally) Ladies in Soil: UK Cheese auto- I've broke a branch due to heavy crop. Lesson learned. Pink Doc CBD auto- she's growing good, finally! The only thing I'm worried about is that she will not grow so much, because switch is near. Candy Kush Express- A really nice lady, not too tall, good side branches and she take everything with no care less (one of the most "broken" in the tent) Special Kush#1- She likes her new pot, but there's something wrong (see leaves) maybe related to VPD or RU? I've used different techniques on this ladies, but the one I like the most is cropping the branches and the main stems and also broke the branches where meets the stems, to give'em more power, and more "space" for nutrients transports in sight of bloom! That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!😙 (hey @Growdiaries if you want to use my video, feel free to do it, but please, don't change the music, it's already on YT and for CC use)

Plant is finishing up. The majority of the plant was taken down on day 84. A few buds were left on the plant so that the pollination of a few buds could let the seed develop

8/25 -Plants responded well to the increase on volume of water fed. Im really liking the +50 mLs a feeding (every other day) -Only a few of the oldest leaves have started wilting. This is normal and expected as those leaves have been used and abused the worse. I left them on originally because it seemed the plant was pulling nutrients from those two leaves specifically if there was any kind of deficiency. As I took care of the Ca/Mg/Fe issue a few weeks ago those spots went away. -The canopy is so damn thick defoliation doesn't allow for light penetration down to the coco. 🤷‍♂️🏻🤷‍♂️🏻 -I really shouldn't complain since these plants are definitely going to harvest big. Very excited -Building 4 separately raisable platforms so I can start growing my Fall plants. Only have 1 light, limited space for my grows but I don't want to waste a month of vegetation. If the platforms work as designed I am very confident ill be able to grow staggered harvests. The goal is to always have weed ready and cured for me to smoke. Buying from dispensaries is getting to be too expensive. -Went back and re red some online forums about growing in coco as I had no experience going in. All the forums said to essentially flood the coco on a daily basis. I have no idea how that is successful--when I tried that I almost killed my plants. Listening to the plant and reading its signals is WAY more efficient for me. The time lapse allows me to look at the plants normal day/night trends. SUCH a good idea plus it makes for a really great video at the end of the grow. 8/26 -NEw nutrient solution made. Same nutrient concentration and strength. -Cheese lowered 1.5 inches on its stilts. Its definitely stretching according to the Time Lapse -Cream Cookies smell is getting stronger and stronger every day. Cheese is the first smell to start developing. -Slight color change starting to occur on Cream Cookies. -Its beginning to become more obvious that Cream Cookies is transitioning focus from maintaining older leaves birthed in early vegetative growth and transitioning to only focusing on bud production. Lower growth is beginning to wilt out. A Natural lollipop if you will. 8/30 -Cream cookie buds are really really really starting to thicken and fill out. Looks like the final buds are going to be quite dense. The smell is really developing on cream cookies. Cant really put my finger on the exact smell but there is a definite strong cheese odor followed by a strong earthy smell. No sweet/citrus smells yet. -Cheese is flowering completely differently from cream cookies. It seems three of the main cola branches are going to yield absolutely huge buds. These main cola bud sites are stretching and small flowering nodes dominate the landscape of the branch all the way from the soil line to the canopy. It seems like the flowers are going to really fill in around the branches. -Lower branches of Cream Cookies starting to become more rigid, taking on rigid character of the main stem. Makes me think that the buds are becoming sufficiently heavy that the plant needs to reinforce some branches to avoid bending over and falling. Love to see it. -Slight signs of stress observed, going to reduce concentration of bloom nutrients to 11 mL/gal. Still should have all the nutrients the plant needs just in a less concentrated solution.

OK so this week I have officially changed yje light cycle and have been running a 12/12 and will of course carry that on now until the end if we get there. The food amounts have now changed on to flowering amounts and even though the plants are different in size they both look really well. I have started to feed them both the following Micro 32ml Grow 12ml Bloom 48ml Ph is 6.0 These amounts are based on 20 litres of water. So I am hoping to see changed and some flower heads popping through (I hope). Let's wait and see what happens as again this is my first 12/12 run. So really hoping for the best here lol. Peace out growmies
