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.

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 I spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

Ok unexpected circumstances called for a harvest would have liked to leave her another 5-6 days but still amber trichomes 5% but we had a lot of foxtailing so there is new growth with not mature trichomes Can't wait to give her a test drive and I'll update the smoke review and dry bud weight when she's ready!! Thankfully the last few days were cooler so we also got some purple 💜 she's massive!!! So sticky and smells amaziiiiing 😍

Recently, in the tent of my friend, we have prepared plants for the cultivation of guerrilla outdoor. Later, when the plants are already strong, you took them out and organized 5 plantations of several plants. They will grow themselves, with minimal care in the harsh Russian climate. The big danger for us now is not the police, and hunters for someone else's cannabis. Who are the green hunters? These are bastards who do not grow cannabis, but steal other people's plants, they are ready for anything. When I was growing grass from my grandfather in the garden, I sometimes had to protect my plants at night with weapons, then I thought really to get a fighting dog, so that it bit off the uninvited guests eggs. Now my grandfather is dead, and now I grow cannabis as a partisan and at home in a tent. But the memory of those times remained. In Russia, a terrible tradition to steal other people's bushes. Just imagine, you on your back brought water to the plants from the river, looked after and loved your plants, and a greedy hunter of greens cut your plants under the root, without waiting for their flowering. I'm willing to kill these bastards, I sometimes found myself on someone else's guerrilla plantations, but I never took everything, took samples on a couple of branches and prayed for this man when I smoked his weed. Sometimes I hear from people that they steal other people's plants directly from private property from someone else's greenhouse, lulling someone else's dog. When I was drunk, I used to beat these people up really hard, because I had these green-hunter bastards stealing my weed, too. In General, let's hope that our plantations will not be found, and the plants will be able to harvest. I really hope so, but I don't really believe it, because I've had such a bad experience many times, let's see how it will be this time. I hope with your moral support, the police and the green hunters will pass by our plantations.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 26/08/19 || To/Hasta: 01/09/19 From day/Desde día: 35 || To day/Hasta día: 41 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1 - It's awesome how she covered all the available space inside the tent, I'm loving this plant and it's totally equitative grow. P1 ~ P5 - I designed this mobile support structure with GoPro attachment system, it supports a mobile in one of the tent's vertical support bars while it records a full timelapse. If anyone has a 3d printer and feels lazy to design it just ask for it, I can send a blender file or an STL, Cheers!. P7 & P8: First night shoots, this was a quick test with the new acquired lights just opened. P16: Second night shoot test, just a bit better than the first try. P20: As you can see the horizontal branches are too slim, I started this week with Rhino Skin support to see if it helps, but what is going to really help is time I guess. P21 ~P27: At last some decent shots, I need to improve the illumination and the way I use the lights, but well... I'm a beginner and have a lot to learn. P28: My nutrients fridge (last year she stands at 15ºc, but this year she's only able to reach 17ºc), and also the foliar products that I'm going to apply. P29: Those are 4 different Temp and Matt settings for the photo P24, it would be great if you leave a comment telling which of them you like more (visually speaking). That would help me a lot!. P30: Smoked some Spliff Dutch Auto at night and feel a bit creative, that's what came up of photoshop and P26 & P27 photos ;). -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I don't know if this is normal in a growing stage, but Alice K. has started to lovely stink all my home, it's awesome how she's smelling without any flower or pistil on her. I can't imagine how much is she going to smell. Finally I bought some lights and a background system to learn to make dark background photos, I purchased a normal bg system @amazon with 3 x 2x3 m backgrounds and the support system, it's too big for my living room haha!, also purchased a pair of LumeCubes with all the accessories, they are super versatile lights and awesome for my needings, I'm sure that there are similar performance lights even equal, much much more cheap, but I liked these for various reasons, if anyone is interested just ask me. Along the week I didn't have much time to full test the lights, I was only able to perform some quick tests. Along the weekend I expent some more time, and something is begin to came out of my camera ;). As you can see on timelapse video, at the end of the week the plant is already fixed to the final 12 points as I told last week, and is already covering all the horizontal space available in the tent. At time I'm not going to make more prunes or toppings as I like the structure she's getting. I still feel that the horizontal branches that are going to support the plant are too slim, so I'm planning some more weeks of growing, until I see them enough strong to support themselves. This was a terrible mess. Until this week I've been watering with very high PH without knowing it. The PH meter I was using was not well calibrated and I thought so, before yesterday (Week 7) I recovered my PH tester and when I measured I was impressed because I have been watering at PH 7 ~ 8, while I thought I was using PH 5.8. Luckily, things have not going ugly, 💯 for the AK. About temperature and humidity, this is the last week of imbalance in my cultivation system since it is strongly linked to outside. As September enters, immediately the temperature and humidity stabilize itself inside my tents, so it's time to run the 90x90 one ;). This week I also applied a foliar irrigation with a bit of organic insecticide "Tec-Forte", just for prevention. I killed a white Spider 2 or 3 weeks ago and also observed som insect white spots in one leaf, after that I did 2 foliar irrigations along last weeks with B.A.C. "Plant Vitality Plus", "Foliar Spray" & "Pro Active", and I haven't seen any more sign. So this is going to be my last foliar with that extra preventive, to keep things clean of unwanted life. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 28/08/19 (Day 37) - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1 - Es increíble como va cubriendo todo el espacio horizontal disponible en el armario, me estoy enamorando de esta planta y de lo equilibrada que crece. P1 ~ P5 - Este diseñado este soporte de móvil con acople tipo GoPro, aguanta un móvil en una de las barras del armario mientras este graba un vídeo timelapse de varios días, horas o lo que sea. Si alguien tiene una impresora 3D y se siente vago para diseñarlo que me pida el modelo, lo puedo enviar en un archivo de Blender o en formato STL. P7 & P8: Primera prueba nocturna, probando las luces recién abiertas. P16: Segunda prueba nocturna, un poquito mejor que la primera prueba. P20: Como se puede observar las ramas horizontales son demasiado delgadas, esta semana empezaré a usar RhinoSkin a ver si ayuda, pero lo que va a ayudar es el tiempo me temo. P21 ~P27: Al final algunas capturas decentes, tengo que mejorar la manera en la que ilumino y uso las luces, pero bueno de momento soy un novato. Ya iremos aprendiendo. P28: Mi nevera de nutrientes ;) (el año pasado mantenía los 15º constantes, pero este año sólo está siendo capaz de bajar hasta 17ºc), también los nutrientes y productos foliares que voy a aplicar. P29: Eso son 4 ajustes diferentes de temperatura y mate de la foto 24, sería genial si me dejáis un comentario diciendo cual os gusta más (visualmente hablando). ¡Eso me ayudaría un montón!. P30: Me fumé un porrito de Spliff Dutch Auto por la noche y me dio la tontería ajajjajajajjaja. Eso es lo que salió de photoshop y las fotos P26 y P27 -----SMUARIO SEMANAL----- No sé si es normal durante el crecimiento, pero Alice K. ha empezado a oler por todo mi piso, es increíble como huele sin tener aún ni una flor ni un pistilo. No puedo ni imaginarme lo que va a acabar oliendo. Al fin esta semana me he decidido a comprar unas luces y un fondo para aprender a hacer fotos con fondo negro, el fondo he comprado uno normalito de 2 x 3 m, aunque me queda muy grande en el salón de casa, de luces me he comprado una pareja de lumecubes con los accesorios, son una luces super versátiles y excelentes para mis necesidades, seguro que hay cosas de rendimiento parecido o igual y mucho más baratas, pero a mi me gustaron estas por varios motivos. Si alguien está interesado que me pregunte. Durante la semana no tuve mucho tiempo y sólo pude realizar unas pruebas cortas. El fin de semana me puse un poco más a fondo y ya empieza a salir algo decente ;). Como se ve en el vídeo semanal, al final de semana ya he atado la planta a los tres puntos que comenté la semana pasada y ya está cubriendo todo el espacio horizontal disponible en el armario, por el momento ya he acabado los cortes y las podas, no tengo planeado realizar más a no ser que lo vea necesario. Sigo teniendo la impresión de que las ramas son quizás un poco delgadas aún por lo que planeo unas cuantas semanas de crecimiento más, hasta que engorden y las vea capaces de hacer buenas colas y resistir su peso. Hasta esta semana he estado regando con el PH alto sin saberlo. El medidor de PH que usaba no estaba bien calibrado y yo creía que sí, antes de ayer (Semana 7) recuperé el mío y al medir me quedé impresionado pues he estado regando a PH 7~8, mientras yo creía estar usando PH 5.8. Menos mal que las cosas no se me han puesto feas. Con respecto a la temperatura y humedad esta es la última semana de desequilibrio en mi sistema de cultivo ya que está fuertemente ligado al exterior, ya entra Septiembre y enseguida se estabilizan la temperatura y humedad solas. Esta semana también apliqué un riego foliar con un poco de insecticida orgánico "Tec-Forte", solo por prevención. Maté a una araña blanca hace 2 o 3 semanas y también observé algunas manchas blancas de insectos en una hoja, después hice un par de riegos foliares durante las últimas semanas con B.A.C. "Plant Vitality Plus", "Foliar Spray" y "Pro Active", y no he visto ninguna señal más. Así que este será mi último foliar con ese preventivo adicional, para mantener las cosas limpias de vida no deseada. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 28/08/19 (Día 37) - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients.

Week 2 began very routine so far I have only watered with pH adjusted water and no nutrients yet. But looking to do a 1/4 strength feeding the next time I water. 10/26/2018 - Catzilla damaged 3 plants!!! I left the tent open for 5mins to get some water and by the time I was back the damage had been done. I am hoping they will still pull through. Any suggestion on what I can do to help save them??? Ironically the culprit appears to be my cat called Poison.... 10/28/2018 - 1/4 Strength of Nutes 3gallons (11355ml) - 6ml Micro/12ml Bloom/3.75mlCaliMagic 10/30/2018 Two days into first feeding. Plants seem to be pulling through and look good "Disco" still has some discolouration in the leaves, still unsure what is causing it. 10/31/2018 - Final day of week 2 Lots of growth since giving them nutes. On to week 3!

Week 7 update for these ladies. They're still staying on the smaller side but are progressing nice from week to week. They're definitely swelling up and stacked good so the colas are looking spot on. Still a few more weeks of flower to go, so what the upcoming week's have in store I'm looking forward to.

La Kosher Kush de la derecha abajo, tiene las hojas más finas y es más alta, las otras 3 Kosher Kush tienen las hojas más gruesas, la del medio abajo tiene un poco de color morado en el apical. Las Kandy Kush se parecen bastante, un poco más altas la de los laterales, pero se las ve bastante bien. Las Lemon Krystal son pequeñas y no se nota mucho, pero la del centro izquierda, tiene las hojas un poco más anchas. Si os fijáis en la de abajo izquierda, tiene una planta pequeñita al lado que es la anterior 1024 que se quedo una ahí en la tierra y la otra la saqué y la puse en una maceta de cactus, que también ha germinado, pero les ha costado, por eso están fuera y tenemos las Lemon Krystal, en el próximo trasplante, la sacare y la pondré en alguna maceta por el patio. Se han trasplantado a maceta de 6L.

✨**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 8 Flowering Phase** 👀🐗 Ayo, what’s good fam? Zuppler back with that Week 8 flowering update, and we’re gettin’ real close to harvest time now. Just two more weeks to go, and these girls are almost ready to shine. The buds have gotten so heavy I had to tie ‘em up to keep ‘em from toppin' over. They’re thick, dense, and full of weight – just what we’ve been workin’ for. I’ve already started flushin’ the medium, lettin’ ‘em clear out all the leftover nutes. The plants are respondin' well, and the fade is startin' to show real nice. Right now, almost all the trichomes are milky, and I’m just waitin' for that perfect amber to start showin' up. It’s a waiting game now, lettin' ‘em ripen and hit peak potency. The smell’s still crazy loud, and the resin is drippin’ like it’s made for the top shelf. Everything’s goin' smooth – temps, humidity, all dialed in to finish these queens off strong. We’re in the home stretch, and in two weeks, it’s choppin’ time. Zuppler signin’ out. The harvest is almost here, fam!

12/26/2022: gave both plants 1 liter of water with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit tea again. Have I mentioned how much I hate fungas gnats. I've been so happy with my switch to organics, except for these damn gnats. This should be the final week. Plants are fading hard, and tricomes are starting to amber. 12/28/2022: watered about 1 liter each with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit and neem cake tea. Also threw some mosquito bits and neem cake directly into the soil to see if that helps at all. 12/30/2022: not much new to report. Watered again, 1 liter for each plant with ThermX-70. Both plants continue to swell and ripen. Between 5% to 10% amber. Was originally planning to chop at the end of this week, but I'm thinking I may give them one more week. We'll see how they look in a couple days. 1/1/2023: moistened the top soil with some plain ph'ed water.
