Mandarin XL auto is starting to bulk. She is in need of some selective defoliation which I will do hopefully soon when there is more time to work with her. She is starting to produce some trichromes as well. Everything is going well. 🤞🏻for some tasty buds when done. Thank you Medic Grow, Ganja Farmer, and Gen1:11 nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Some light mania has me itching for projects. I have tiny pots, a bunch of free seeds and no space. Could I grow them by the window under a desk lamp? I might be able to tuck them into the tent if they actually grow for me. I want to try out some LST for cute bonsai-style trees. I’m not confident that I will have much success but this is purely a learning experiment. Let’s see how much I can abuse these autos 😅 - Sept 22 AM: Popped 3 Cookie Dog autoflower seeds into a glass of bottled spring water for a pre-soak of 14 hours. - Sept 22 PM: Put the seeds into folded paper towel, ceramic plate, more bottled spring water, uncovered in warm room. - Sept 23 AM: One seed has started to pop after only 10 hours! - Sept 23 PM: The seeds have all cracked but haven’t grown tap roots yet. I planted the 3 seeds into various small pots to finish germinating in seeding mix instead so I would stop checking on them in the paper 🙃 - Sept 24: nothing happening above ground. They are in the tent with lights 24/0 so I covered them with larger pots to give some darkness. Placed pots on a heating mat. - Sept 25 AM: the 2 seeds in the smallest pots have emerged! The were touching the plastic wrap when I checked on them so I hope they are ok. - Sept 27 PM: 1st seedling doing good, 2nd seedling still has her seed leaves closed so I’m misting her, and 3rd.. I accidentally flipped her pot over. She’s gone. First Impressions: Seeds germinated in soil after 36 hours, 72 hours from when I first left them to pre-soak and let the seeds crack in paper towel 24 hours.. that was 24-48 hours faster than the other test groups that used paper towel method until tap root formed and waiting for the germinated seed to emerge.. I might skip waiting for a tap root in paper towel going forward but I do like knowing the seed is viable before putting in soil so I know if it doesn’t grow it was something I did wrong. End of week thoughts.. Well.. I fucked around with these seeds too much, exposed the roots to light, let them almost dry out, dropped them, had the temps too low, the heating mat too hot, kicked out over.. 😅😅 I didn’t really give them a chance and yet still somehow I got 2 contenders in pint sized pots 🤷‍♀️the experiment continues..

Last week I finally did some lollipopping and defoliation. I had too cause humidity went through the roof and foliage was dense and wet in the mornings. Also fed with the amendment. 5 liters of worm castings, with bone meal, some microlife. Some bud growth started but also trichomes are forming and a strong weed smell is developing in the tent. The growth is far behind compared to the other two though. Not as many buds and the plant is overall more flimsy and has hollow stalks. The very slender leaf growth leaves me to believe that next to being the runt all the grow, the gorilla doesn't seem to enjoy the high feed environment. It also really doesn't respond well to scrogging, it keeps reaching for the light, It remains the odd one out in the tent. The buds are few and far between, I'm not very hopeful this one will produce the grams needed to keep my grams per watt score high. The other two might well compensate for it, we shall see. Thanks for checking in!!

On flower day 60, it was finally time. Three days before the final cut, I did a last light watering with plain water. The last 36 hours, the lights stayed on. In the end, I had around 20–30% amber trichomes. I'm super happy with the result. Trim jail was exhausting but totally worth it. The harvest is now right in the middle of curing. As for the smell: a sharp, earthy, leathery diesel mix with hints of lemon. The fuel note is, to my delight, much stronger than expected. Incredibly sticky buds. Sparkling flowers. Thanks so much for following along with the grow journal! Maybe it'll help someone with planning or give a general preview for a future grow of this strain. Much love and happy growing!

Hooked up my carbon filter today. I'm only using it to scrub the air on a timer. Decided to poke a few holes in the ducting to help move scrubbed air around my plant. Added the other fan back in to keep air circulating. Since I don't have fresh air coming in I plan on using a supplement for co2. What are you guys using? It's only a small 2×2×6 tent with one plant and running a 150w HP's light.

Hemos empezado un cultivo con semillas del banco Sweet Seeds y toda la gama de nutrientes y coco premium de Plagron. Es nuestra primera vez con coco y esta marca de nutrientes pero nos va a sorprender para bien! Primero diluimos siete gotas de seedbooster plus en un litro de agua y dejamos la semilla en esa dilución 12 horas. Esa misma agua la usaremos para empapar el papel donde pondremos a germinar las semillas. Al segundo día ya tenemos las semillas nacidas, y los líquidos de riego los haremos a un ph de 5,8 y usaremos power roots, silice rock y pure zym para cada riego con una EC de 0,5. Una vez a la semana haremos una pulverización de vita start y otro día a la semana vita race. Hacemos una dilución de estos mismos de 1 ml por cada litro de agua para pulverizar dejando bien empapadas las hojas. Vita start nos aporta un npk bajo para nuestras pequeñas y vita race le aporta hierro, de manera que con ellas conseguimos un mejor enraizamiento, ramificación y un color sano de nuestras pequeñas en sus hojas. Tendremos que ir subiendo el nivel de la Ec, ya que pecaremos de cautos en comida al no haber usado nunca coco antes.😎

8.3.25: I watered today. This time, I left out the Nitrogen as the plants don't need it right now. I watered each plant between 2 and 4 litres. I used dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients per 2ltr; ♡ 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients 9.3.25: The plants are still very thirsty, so I topped them up with 1-2ltrs per plant. I have cut out the Nitrogen for now as it is unnecessary. I am using Bloom nutrients only. Per 2ltrs contains; ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Bud explosion PK booster Both by Greenleaf nutrients. 10.3.25: I have moved Bubble Kush into the back left corner, as she is a bit unhappy with the full lighting intensity. I moved Do-sì-dos into the middle of the tent as she is looking phenomenal 😍 the buds are most certainly stacking up to be huge! she will certainly be good with the higher intensity lighting. I can't say enough about her, very pleased with this plant! 12.3.25: Bubble Kush is looking much better and greener after I moved her into the corner away from the intense light in the middle of the tent. Getting about 3ltrs per day, just using Mega Crop Part A and Bud Explosion by Greenleaf nutrients. 14.3.25: The plants have switched to full bloom nutes, the only NPK 4-0-0 with the Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. Then Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster. I'm using double strength Cal-Mag as the petioles and stems of some leaves are going purple. I need to get some more. I've used nearly a whole 250ml this grow alone! I have been supplementing with Black Strap Molasses and will be feeding Bubble Kush 🧡 Do-sì-dos 💚 I'll double check the rest of the plants and maybe give them a little bit. The Purple Lemonade 💜 and Pink Mist are just really stacking on weight now, bulking up. Do-sì-dos 💚 has absolutely unbelievable density and size. Watermelon 🍉 is finishing the lower bud sites as they were behind the others. I will keep for 1 more week in my estimation. Gorilla 🦍 Cookies is looking good, definitely cutting the Nitrogen out on her as she's got an overabundance currently. Luckily, all my plants are at the same stage now relatively speaking, so I don't have to mix up separate mixtures for each plant just now. Which is a blessing 🙌 Plant nutrients used per 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Bud explosion PK booster ♡ 8ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I water approximately between 2-4ltts per plant 3 times a week. No schedule, honestly. I'll judge it on the weight of pots and feel the top soil. Thanks for checking in

Only running 1 Thin Mint x Cookies + Cream its front left in the tent, great internodal spacing came highly recommended. Switching to Bloom nutrients, two part Cropsalt. Irrigation frequency will be adjusted as flower development drastically increases over the next two weeks.

These big bad buds keep swelling day by day. Just went under 12 hours today. One branch broke partly off, fixed and wired it up.. hoping not to get strong winds.. still thinking about some kind of transparent rain cover.. any ideas? If i had had more space and time, the plants could have been trained so much better! I also feel like i made a pretty good environment, with the good soil and perlite, and the kelp meal and basalt flour - and additional nutrients. I read that organic nutes give better taste and terpenes, and chemical give higher potency. So I’m hoping for the best of both worlds with these buds..

Well I thought for sure I was going to harvest a few days ago. Looks like it’s going to be one more week. Only getting pH water at this point and no nutrients. Starting to get a little color shift in the leaves but nothing crazy. Bud is dense and smells absolutely amazing. Slight bit of a Fox trail going on but not bad at all. Turns out I was very lazy and never raised my light up for 3 weeks and they were getting 1,000+ PAR at the tops for 18hrs a day. A few more days till she gets cut.

Привет привет друзья как дела как настрой ??? Ну вот и долгожданный репортаж от Раста ;) неделя прошла без изменений, как обычно всю неделю поправлял ветки от 707 показывал им как надо и в какую сторону им надо развиваться, в переди ещё 3-4 недели и я уже думаю чем мне закрепить ветки так как на этом этапе шишки уже очень тяжело. А ещё они только набирают вес и силы 😍😁
