Hey So I had to harvest a little earlier now because I'm going on vacation, so I'm done with everything 2 weeks before :) It was quite easy to grow it has a very strong smell and generally a strong effect it tastes sweet/sour/woody It is sticky and the buds are quite heavy I harvested 146.5g dry weight from a plant :))

Just flipped to 12-12 with 90cm from canopy to light we shouldn’t have too much issue, plants are mostly around 45-48cm at this stage Day 1 (12 hrs dark) of 12-12 shows growth of between 1-3cm per plant will remeasure at end of light cycle. 24 hours all plants have stacked on 2-4cm on day 1 of flip It appears that defoliation is required as these indica dom plants just get thicker and thicker overnight. These were heavily trimmed 6 days ago from the bottom and the top, good problem to have they say. These are a feminised indica 90% sativa 10% I was expecting at this stage to be shorter and tighter. We have 3 in the short compact types the other 6 are considerably larger but all seem extremely happy Day 2 of flip all the girls had a hairdresser appointment. And 1 met the assassin. 8 girls still going but the very small one got the yank she was not looking well once we started trimming

Gorilla Glue #1 - Harvest Comment - I Am Very Satisfied With What I Got, I got 3 ounce 7 grams - I Uses Advance Nutrients PH perfect In veg then I switch to the iguana juice organic juice for the flowering stage. I notice a much more slower growth when I switch to organic nutrients.00

Coming into the home stretch here. I've been flushing for a week, going to give her one more good watering then plan on harvesting this weekend. I still don't see any amber trichomes, but I don't want the dying leaves to cause any bud rot, so amber or not she's coming down this weekend. The smell is super STRONG!!!👍 Thanks to all who answered my question on harvesting. I've been having trouble selecting an answer. I contacted GD support, hopefully they get this fixed soon.

Finally I meet you… she’s flowering and guess what I’ve done, due to an foreseen circumstance, going to be away for a month, and all I know is my babies will get water and rain if it does rain, Sad days ahead, however at least the are sheltered from the rising temperatures. As good as it is, guess what this genius does… you guessed it, i defoliated my babies. I hope my decision rewards me, I will surely find out when I return in September, I thought of getting my assistant to send me pictures so I can keep posting, however I think it’s best I stay completely away from posting. This will truly test my growing skill, not forgetting my building skill when it comes to the greenhouse, with temperatures rising I will finally see if this self ventilate design will keep humidity at a desirable level to promote adequate growth, I have not encountered any fungal or pest isssues, but usually problems arise during the hot seasons.

Day 22 Flower (Day 64) Today is the first day of week four of flower. I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.2 water, but the left girl didn't need any. She doesn't drink much since the light is turned way down not to fry her canopy more than it already has. Unfortunately, her new tent didn't show up today — hopefully, tomorrow. I also put half of an avocado on top of the soil in each pot to feed my worms. It should be a nice little treat for my worm buddies. Most of my cover crop has died now when the girls are blocking out all the lights, and I really should cover the soil in mulch, but as I'm changing to larger pots next run, I would have to remove it again in about a month, so I haven't bothered. Day 23 Flower (Day 65) Yay! The new tent finally arrived today. It is still a tiny 40x40 cm tent as that is all I can fit inside the wardrobe, but the new tent is 40 cm taller. The plant really needed the extra height since she was pressing against the light and roasting the top buds. It was a bit tricky to get the left girl out of the old tent, but by combining some McGyverism with a bit of brute force, I got her out in mostly one piece. The damage from the light wasn't as bad as a feared, although three tops were fried and a few fan leaves. Not great, but it could have been worse. I took the opportunity when she was between tents and did some defoliation/lollipopping before moving her into her new space and giving her 1.5 liters of ph 6.7 water to help her deal with the shock of being manhandled. It is lovely to have some space again, and I was finally able to turn up the light to 100%. Now those buds can start to fatten up! All I did with the right girl today was to give her 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 24 Flower (Day 66) The left girl loves her new home and looks to be bouncing back nicely. She didn't need any water today, but it was the first time a tiny weed smell came out of the tent as I opened it. The right girl in my main tent is further along in flower and technically should smell more than the small tent, but the CO2 bag still overpowers everything with its sh*t smell. lol I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today, and I also "shaved her legs" by removing some pointless leaves and branches low down on her. Finally, I started brewing some compost tea with the same recipe as last week (worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and molasses). Still, this time it will be filtered as it is too soon for additional topdressing. The tea will brew for 24 hours, and I'll feed it tomorrow. Day 25 Flower (Day 67) All I did today was to feed each girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 compost tea as well as rearranging the main tent (moved the CO2 bag so I could move the clip fan, attached the ratchet hangers to the lights differently, and did some LST to get a branch out of the way) so I could raise the lights another 5 cm. Day 26 Flower (Day 68) Today was a really easy day. I just gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.1 water. That was it. Day 27 Flower (Day 69) I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water today. I also took out my proper camera and tried a few quick bud shots. Just as an experiment though - handheld, no tripod, just the grow lights so no proper lighting, etc. Would love some feedback on these photos though as I'm completely new to bud photography and am looking to improve. Day 28 Flower (Day 70) The last day of the fourth week of flower and all is well in the tents. The left girl is 97 cm tall (12 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 120 cm tall (a 3 cm increase in a week). The left girl has been stretching this week since she got her new tent (which allowed me to turn up the light.) She certainly is loving those extra photons! On the other hand, the right girl seems done with stretching and is working on fattening up the buds. All I did today was to snap some pics and videos and give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.2 water.

Beginning of week... Heat stess.. Light burn.. Runoff pH is out of wack.. But the colas are still so freaking massive! This will be the last week of feeding.. Then flushing for 2 weeks!.. FloraKleen is waiting for me already lol.. But the trichomes are already looking pretty close to being ready.. From what I can see.. There are about 50% cloudy/milky and 50% clear.. I can find an amber here and there.. But I think I've got this timed out perfectly!.. Cant wait to taste these super fat, dense, fruity smelling nugs! Damn she is doing magical things even after the abuse she has endured.. Awesome strain ILGM.. For sure... Mid week.. Found a few nanners here and there.. Ugh.. Understandable tho.. All the heat and light stress.. Whoops.. No seeds that I can see yet.. Just going to finish up this week by feeding at only 50% and pretty much cutting out almost 100% of Nitrogen. And not sure why.. But aldo added some Vitamin B Complex.. Its a sublingual liquid that you put under your tongue for energy or some shit.. I only put .25 mL/3 L.. Again.. Idk why lol.. Now that I have cranked the power of the light down, the leaves have kinda slowed down on the suicide rate lol.. Not as many are trying to curl up anymore.. Still kinda curled.. But they have actually opened up a little since. She is looking pretty good.. Still been watering/feedingnat 5.8 pH and the runoff is barely coming out at 6.3 pH still.. Once I see it go down to 6.0.. Then I will make the proper adjustments needed to try and keep it at 6.3.. But still no stress frok this weird pH issue crap I got goin on.. I just need to get some new coco/perlite and a new fabric pot.. Good thing I have already got all that stuff stocked up! But this has been an interesting grow for sure.. I'm ready to chop her down and see what she tastes like! And start a new girlie of course! Lol.. But as for this week.. I will have one more feed day and I am just going to do it exactly how I did today, then begin the 2 week flush! Trichomes are exactly where they need to be.. Even the trichomes on the foxtail calyxes are gettin there pretty quick too.. As far as I can tell so far... Awesome strain from ILGM.. Awesome as fuuuuck! Lol End of week.. Since I've turned the power of the light down, the leaves haven't been dying off like I thought they would be because of all the heat stress and light burn.. But tomorrow I begin the flush! Today was not a feed day so I guess I already began lol.. I used rain water (7.0 pH 30 PPM) but of course I pH'd it down to 5.8 so that the runoff would come out 6.3.. Idk why this isn't clearing out.. But tomorrow I will use the FloraKleen in pH'd rain water.. This week I may water in the AM and the PM to help flush out medium quicker. Gonna try and use just rain water for the flush.. If I run out of rain water I will use distilled.. Either of the 2 should be a good choice! But I'm so excited to be harvesting soon! On to the next!!!...

So far so good. She seems to have survived the short drought and is standing up straight again. She hasn't really grown in size, so I'm still a bit worried the tap root might've suffered some drought stress or even got damaged. But other than that, she looks good - healthy and vital. I've added some mulch (finally!!) which, besides benefitting the microbes in the soil, should also slow down the evaporation process and help with moisture control. Topping her on Day 15 is a bit of a gamble, maybe it was a little early - removing the sun-sail fan leafs is quite a risk as well, so I'll have to observe her even more cautiously than I do anyways. Hope she bounces back alright!

So this week i harvested the orangesherbert so sticky and stinks of orange, 50grams dry of 🔥 bud. Curing in a big jar at 21 degrees and humidity of 60% dark cool cupboard. Watermelon zkitles is bouncing back, the runts is doing amazing with the lst and leaf tucking. I had to kill the purplelemonade due to it herming on me I dont have space for that so I'm going to run a ethos genetics seed in its place.

19.07. Wedding Cake 1# Day 85# This plant is progressing very well, it has only grown 10 cm since the last update, but it has grown a lot in width, I forgot to measure the width, but I think it is currently as wide as it is tall, which I really like. This phenotype is not difficult to grow, but it is not too easy either, I would not recommend it to beginners because it can cause problems sometimes. Yesterday was the end of her twelfth week. I think I mentioned in the seventh or eighth week that this plant will be a monster, it was already seen then and it definitely will be, I look forward to the further cultivation and progress of this plant. Wedding Cake 2# Day 79# As far as this phenotype is concerned, everything is against the first one. As for the size of the plant, I think it has to do with genetics, it probably drew on some small ancestor, but it doesn't necessarily mean, maybe it's also down to what I'm going to mention now. Basically, this plant is constantly hungry and thirsty from the moment it is transplanted, it always lacks something and is never completely happy. For weeks I've been trying to correct that and please her, but she can't be as healthy and happy as she should be... this week she looks the best so far, but it's still not that... because of this phenotype (I don't know if it's common) I definitely wouldn't recommend this strain to beginners because I also struggle with this phenotype, the first phenotype is much easier to grow, although it's not for beginners either. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!
