Gorilla Jealousy F1 is doing her thing. She is shifting into a bulking stage. She did show a major ph drop yesterday to today. She is likely due for a solution change. I will try to redo her solution this next week when I get a chance. Her smell has not really started up strong yet. I feel that will change over the next few weeks.

๐ŸŒฑ Week 2 โ€“ Vegetative Growth 09/27: Started the day noticing chlorosis on some leaves. The pattern matches an iron deficiency: interveinal chlorosis mainly on the newer leaves. After checking, this seems to be caused by a nutrient lockout, consistent with the high substrate pH since the beginning of the grow. Lesson learned for next time. Performed a heavy flush with 20 L of water per plant. Runoff dropped from EC 1200 โ†’ 500 and pH 7.1 โ†’ 6.7. From now on, Iโ€™ll water with enough solution to get ~20% runoff each time instead of just ~250 ml. Will also lower input pH to 5.6โ€“5.7 to gradually bring substrate pH down into range. Noticed that some plants have started to give off a light smell ๐ŸŒฟ. 09/28: Each plant watered with 1 L at pH 5.6, EC 950. Solution included 3 ml/L CalMag + 0.8 ml/L Coco A + 0.8 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff EC not measured (since heavy flush was done yesterday). Runoff pH still unchanged, same as yesterday (~6.7). Yesterday I lowered the light, today increased it back to 13.5k lux. Chlorosis is still advancing, hoping successive irrigations will help bring substrate pH down. 09/29: Watered again but with 500ml this time. Solution (same recipe as yesterday) at pH 5.6. Surprisingly, runoff pH rose higher than yesterday, now at 7.0, with EC 700. Light intensity increased to 14.5k lux. 09/30: Watered with 500 ml at pH 5.6, EC 1050. Solution included 3 ml/L CalMag (new bottle โ€” seems to add more EC than the old one) + 1 ml/L Coco A + 1 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff measured EC 700โ€“800, pH 7.0. Since the flush, stems have thickened significantly ๐Ÿ’ช. 10/01: Watered with 1 L at pH 5.6, EC 1200. Solution included 2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1 ml/L Coco A + 1 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff measured EC 650, pH 7.0. Substrate pH still not dropping, but plants are growing at a good pace. Only two plants continue to show chlorosis, while all show a noticeable thickening of stems this week. 10/02: Significant vertical growth observed โ€” most plants stretched about 8 cm in the last 3 days. Watered again with the same solution as yesterday, but only 500 ml per plant. Input pH 5.6, runoff pH still at 7.0, EC 600โ€“700. Chlorosis persists, and on one plant with symptoms, small brown spots appeared, suggesting a possible manganese deficiency. Also noticed what look like early pre-flowers (tiny pistils) on two plants, though it feels early for day 20. 10/03: Watered with the same solution as previous days (pH 5.6, EC 1200). Runoff remained stable at pH 7.0, EC ~600โ€“700. Based on uptake, I plan to progressively raise input EC until EC in โ‰ˆ EC out. Gradually increasing VPD range, target for Week 3 is 1.0โ€“1.2 kPa. --- ๐Ÿ“ Week 2 Summary ๐Ÿšฉ Main challenge: persistent high runoff pH (~7.0) causing chlorosis, initially resembling iron deficiency but later showing signs closer to manganese deficiency (brown spotting). Heavy flush reduced EC, but pH correction is progressing slowly. Plants responded with strong stem thickening and rapid vertical growth (+8 cm in 3 days). Aroma starting to appear on some plants ๐ŸŒฟ. โšก Light stabilized around 14โ€“15k lux, with adjustments to avoid stress. ๐ŸŒฑ Despite issues, most plants are vigorous, only 2 showing stronger deficiency symptoms. โžก๏ธ Plan for Week 3 Irrigation: Increase input EC gradually until it balances with runoff (~EC in = EC out). Maintain runoff at ~20% each watering. pH management: Keep input pH at 5.6โ€“5.7 to push substrate down from current ~7.0. VPD: Raise target range to 1.0โ€“1.2 kPa for optimal transpiration. Light: Hold intensity ~14.5k lux, slight increases only if no stress observed. Monitoring: Track chlorosis spots closely โ€” see if new growth improves once substrate stabilizes. Pre-flowers: Keep observing possible pistils.

Okay, this week, we saw another wonderful week with this young lady. She has recovered so well from Last weeks topping on Tuesday, that her final topping actually occurred this today (sunday). 12 days to recover and grow 4 nodes and 3" of horizontal stretch. Also, thanks to Bloombuster, I was able to math out how much veg growth left I had available before I risk getting too tall for the tent. Using his math, my measurements, and a little playing around, What we have so far is this 2" Of Height to the 1st topping, 3" of length to the 2nd topping, 3" of length to the 3rd topping That gives me currently 8" Of Growth, only 2" of which have been used vertically. I have 25" To work with total plant height, allowing 15" between plant and light at the light's maximum height. So with those numbers in mind, I crunched it, put it in excel, played around, and came out with 5" of growth left available to me vertically I am working with an estimate of 140% additional growth during bloom cycle. As such, we will multiple by 2.4, Original Plant Size and New Growth Included. Math works out as 2" + 6" = 8" + 5" = 13" x 2.4 = 31.2 - 6" = 25.2" So if I am correct, which happens from time to time, I can let he grow to a total of 7" High, 5" higher during veg before I am wise to go to bloom. I estimate this means, watching her previous recovery and growth, I will be putting her to flowing within the next 3 weeks.

Had great results, especially when i upgraded to RO water.. if theres one thing i could of changed it would of been using the reverse Osmosis water sooner. The rest of the grow was pretty easy, didn't even plant train as this was suppose to be a hassle free run. It was just that. Some good genetics from seedstockers too. Good stuff!

โญ TrolMaster tracking โญ I started to track my crop during week 15, when I got the Tent-X TCS-1 by TrolMaster. First impression was: this is too professional for me, I can't handle setting it up and using it well. Then I started reading some posts on Instagram, I visited their site and in 5 minutes my cultivation experience took a huge step forward with disarming simplicity, I couldn't believe it. I have uploaded tracking videos from the TrolMaster app for each week from the 15th to the 19th, as well as the two weeks of drying stage. โญ Controller Chronicles โญ Day after day I appreciated the clarity and precision for data, access to all settings and instant readings by connecting a WIFI router to the controller's LAN port. I loved the possibility to dim my lamps remotely, or even automatically based on the temperature in the box! ๐ŸŒฑ GERMINATION (2 days) Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riots and under the lamp. They sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed. ๐ŸŒฟ GROWING STAGE (10 weeks and half) I decided to give these plants a long vegetative growth and this allowed me to do a lot of training on both. Starting from the 4th veg week I started with defoliation sessions every two weeks, for a total of four during the entire vegetative phase. The last defoliation was done a couple of days before the switch, in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible. Furthermore I did Topping on week 6, cutting the apical branch, then on week 8 I did Topping again on several sites, as well as SuperCropping on the highest branches to make the canopy uniform. The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two veg weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then. During the veg stage I made 4 DWC change, PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1.4 on the last veg week. ๐ŸŒธ FLOWERING STAGE (9 weeks) I started this phase after 36 hours of darkness, I then changed the DWCs solution (adding a flowering stimulator). Then I mounted the ScrOG-net about 50 cm from the base of the plants and I wove the phenotype #1 through the net occupying at least 60% of the available space; the phenotype #2 stretched shortly after the switch and I used the net only to widen the central branches. They showed the pre-flowers two weeks after the switch, then I made two defoliations on week 3 and 5 flo. During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 6-9) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values โ€‹โ€‹under control and this also thanks to the Tent-X controller by TrolMaster which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above. I chopped them when trichomes were about 85% milky and 15% amber. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.8 and 6.2, about EC I started with 2 and was 2.3 on the last week before flush. โœ… HARVEST - From dry seed to harvest: 140 days (2 days germination + 75 days veg + 63 days flo). - Chopped after 4 days flush and 48 hours in dark; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. โœ… DRYING STAGE - Time: 14 days; - Average: 20ยฐ C - 50% RH. - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. โš–๏ธ DRY WEIGHT - Phenotype #1: 230 gr buds + 25 gr larf; - Phenotype #2: 105 gr buds + 50 gr larf. So, the overall dry weight is: 335 gr buds + 75 gr larf. โœ… CURING STAGE - Curing is done after 30 days with Boveda 62%.

We have a stand out! There is one beautiful girl that is showing some beautiful colour, structure, frostiness, and fade โค๏ธ they are all very dense and frosty but this one girl has stolen the show. I cut their nutrients to almost nothing after running phd water for two waterings consecutively, still a few more weeks to go. Iโ€™ll be starting my routine soon if just phd water, but in a slightly higher volume to start breaking up any pockets or salts that may have been forming. Thanks for stopping by, wonโ€™t be long! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Š

I welcome you from Russia my friends from different parts of the world. The end of 16 weeks has come. Plants already fully show their ripeness, and buds SAG from their weight. Soon I will be harvesting, as soon as I get the final dry product I will make the last update of this diary.

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) โ€“ Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24โ€“27ยฐC, RH 55โ€“60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. ๐Ÿ‘‰ In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.
