This week was pretty standard, I found out with the help of a friend the amount of magnesium I was feeding my plants was way to much. about 4x as much as they should have had. so they will no longer be getting any extra added magnesium. I read that it can stunt plant growth in excess but I don't know if that happened here, Plucked a few leaves off that where blocking other bid sites and removed some in the middle to help airflow. I was thinking about purchasing a 2nd fan for the tent but the ones I want are out of stock so I feel its best to use a regular none tent fan and just rig it up to a tent pole for now. Starting to see more frost on the sugar leaves and some good bud development on this one. The sister Maltezerz is also getting nice buds but not as nice as Blue Cindy. Maybe in time they will even out or switch sides. Will monitor its length from the SCROG net vs soil as its easier to measure. 33cm from SCROG net to base of plant 15cm from SCROG net to tip of plant Total 48cm for week four of flower. +2cm from Last Week "first week it has stretched more in the single week vs the Maltezerz" The clones are doing well considering I have ignored them mostly. Some yellowing in the leaves but nothing to worry about just yet. Have not lost a single clone in this project. I'm impressed with my self for that. Could also be this strain is really easy to clone as well.

So, absolutely against the recommendation I received from a friend of mine who's been growing for 20+ years, I pruned/defoliated my plants up a bit this week. I decided to for a few reasons. - the plants were really dense with foliage, many leaves overlapping and pushing other leaves - most of the bud sites were shaded under several layers of leaves - the leaves pilling up would have been restricting airflow quite a lot, I want to prevent budrot or mold by increasing aeration - I wanted to control where the plants were growing, and focus their energy into the buds - with this being an outdoor grow late in the season with less sun I felt it was more important to expose the developing buds to the sun With all that said, I think my plants have responded extremely well to the pruning in the last few days. I've never pruned or defoliated before so this is going to serve as a test for me. I like doing new things and seeing what happens. No matter what, these plants look really good right now and I'm sure I'll get a decent harvest, I'm trying to push it from decent to fantastic. My PPM is a bit high, though none of the plants look like they're being hindered by it. I did a partial water change on 2 of the 3 (the one in the 3 gallon bucket and the one that looks more like and indica). The 3 gallon bucket plant was at a PPM of 5000ish so I made sure to get it more in line with the other two, and with the partial water change I got it to around 2000. The other plants are sitting at right about 3000. I will continue to monitor the plants and check PPM, if it doesn't go down next week I think I'll do another partial water change. I want to keep pumping in nutrient while preventing any burn or lockout. Trichomes are no observable on the two plants in larger buckets. The smaller bucket plant was the last to sprout, so it's about a week or two behind the others. This week has been pretty poor weather where I'm at. Lots of rain and clouds. I've kept the plants under cover but still in direct sunlight. This coming week is supposed to be clear sky again so I'll move them to capture the most light once the rain stops. I know defoliation is debatable, especially with outdoor grows, but I like to push boundaries. Here's a list of the things I've done with this grow: - kratky method hydroponics (other than a partial water change I have added no water since starting in buckets, no airstone, no pump) - Winter grow (shortest light period of the year here) - Topping (and it looks like one is more like FIMing, also one grew as if it were topped without my input) - Dense nutrient load (I've added more nutrient in this grow than any grow I have previously done. Mostly because I never achieved super large buds and I'm really aiming for that this time) - Water change (like an aquarium, I've never done a water change other than flush before, this week called for it with the high PPM which I think was residual from nutrient loading in veg so I wanted to make sure there's room for the flower nutes) - Defoliation/pruning (nothing too crazy or drastic, started this week and don't plan to trim again unless I see a need to)

Definitely wasn't taking enough pictures to start.. I'll do better now that I'm invested....... update... Autos are growing alot this week indoors

the 7th week. i decided to do the first topping. she took it well. and the new branches are thriving. i have also started LST training. she has got used to the environment and is finally showing the power i expected from her. the first weeks were just too changeable and sometimes too cold.

Wirklich alles wunderbar! Und die Strain riecht so abnormal nice!

All sprouted and broke through soil! Disclaimer for the whole run: I started naming them for my ease of documenting, "BPP #2" also sounds kinda whack. Three are named after Valkyries, not because of any whacky political affiliation, just because i like the sound of the names. One is named after someone special :) Also, from here on out, BPP = Banana Purple Punch, LCC = Lemon Cherry Cookies Stay tuned for more! 11/02 First Watering, 100ml with 4 ml/L of rootjuice. will ramp up dosage quickly once the dome comes off, hopefully in the evening when my humidifier arrives! 13/02 Watering! 300 ml with 4ml/L of rootjuice 14/02 VPD dialed in at around ~0,62-0,65 kPa. Size: Cara, Eir, Herja = 5 cm, Gunnr 7 cm 15/02 Watering, 500 ml, 4ml/L rootjuice, 1ml/L Grow

Next two weeks is when she packs a punch, terp profile of fuzzy peaches for days

Feb 19th, - week 9 of flower sees a lot of subtle changes going on. The smell at the door is one, and it’s becoming a very dense and dark odour. Fruit-like up close. - Molasses doubled as root boosters get removed and Calimg has only 1 feed left, tonight. - Mar 1 is the tentative flush, first day of week 11 in flower. Those will be a long couple of weeks, feeding h20 & sugar only - noticing the stems of Fan leaves are turning Red/Crimson on L plant. A few are in the R as well. ** question asked about Red Stems ** 23rd - noticing a definite increase in the Trichomes of the Buds, under the UVB (pics tonight). There are simply more now and it’s kinda obvious when side by side. Lite spill from uvb is falling on the left plant as well, but not from 14” - feed tonite will include a bit of CaliMag once again moving forward and a lingering taste of Medi-One. - Trichomes were checked today. As happy as I was to see a few Amber ones. They were very wide-spread with most of the others still 50/50 clear and cloudy. - Based on todays Trichome check; hoping to flush ~ Mar 7 now. That will be the end of 11 complete weeks of Flower. FYI: Breeders expectation "11-12” weeks. Happy to see it linger a bit, diet, humidity and lighting changes have been incremental throughout. How quickly the next changes happen ie: clear to cloudy etc., I have no idea. Would love to see ~ 10% Amber, just enough to say it’s Very ripe. ( Not in any way thinking of couch-lock lol ) - literature & product labels on Humic Acid recommend usage throughout Veg & Flower... just Not the last 3 weeks. That rules this batch out... So the next batch(s) get introduced. - Macro shots tonight of the Buds under the UVB... cannot wait. ** found 1 bud on the R plant, that had quite a bit of Amber showing. Nowhere to be seen in the L plant, but it looks like a high concentration of Cloudy Trichomes on the L regardless. One more serious search tonight of the R plant and it may just be time for a rinse. Surprised to see so many Ambers, alone on this one bud. Pics uploaded ! re: 24th a.m. Feb24th, - when the lights came on this evening, I did another thorough check on both plants and there were more Amber trichomes found. Ready or not, both plants were Thoroughly flushed. - Flush aid used in the process. - 10 Litres of Water was mixed with Molasses / Rezin as the first liquids poured into the plants, after the Flush... - when it came right down to it, the sudden appearance and then rapid spreading of the Amber Trichomes made it an easy call, to flush both plants. Thoughts on the amount of white hairs left... they have a couple weeks to get their shit together... if I can get a couple weeks of flushing-in, that’s a definite bonus. 25th - humidity spike in the Tent. doors are cracked and a floor fan has been added for extra air flow. Exhaust fan increased... 26th, no liquid to remove from the plants btm Trays, but still showing a high humidity. R.H. coming down slowly, aimed the fans at the fabric pots... doors cracked etc. * why mess around, hooked up the dehumidifier... R.H. dropping, end of issue

Hallo liebe Growfreunde 💞 Zum Abschluss stand heute die Ernte der Gorilla Zkittlez an. Nach ca.48 Stunden Dunkelheit, habe ich sie eben vorgetrimmt und in das trockenzelt gehängt. Die Pflanze war wie auch die Green Gelato und die Peyote Critical super einfach zu growen. Ich bin auf den Ertrag gespannt. Sehr massive Buds, hart und schwer🤗😎. Alles in allem eine tolle Pflanze. So, jetzt mal ein Resümee des gesamten Grows: 6 verschiedene Pflanzen in einem 2qm Zelt mit 3 sanlight Lampen (liefen max auf 65%), konnte ich sehr gut gemeinsam über das Autopot bewässerungssystem kontrollieren, nur CalMag und PH-korrigiertes Wasser, sonst nichts. Dünger wurde vor dem eintopfen dem Substrat untergemischt. Ergebnisse ist Top liebe Growfreunde💞💪. Bisher ohne die Gorilla Zkittlez liegen wir bei einem trocken Gewicht von sagen und schreibe 735g👀 (Gorilla Zkittlez fehlt nocht). Ich würde sagen dass Experiment ist gelungen. Kein LST oder HST, kein Topping garnichts. Entlaubt und wachsen lassen. Das Netz hab ich am Ende nur gebraucht um die Äste zu stützen. Mit ein wenig Training und lollipoppen könnte man noch gut optimieren und bessere Ergebnisse erzielen. Und liebe Growfreund💞, Ich muss sagen ich bin ein wenig enttäuscht von dieser Plattform. Man wird eigentlich kaum gesehen, weil alles total überfüllt und überladen ist. Ich starte bald eine eigene Plattform und hoffe dass Ihr dass vllt ähnlich wie ich seht🤔

Starting week 3 with good growth on all three plants but plant 3 is doing the best, she has the longest branches and I've tried them downwards. I also trimmed-off the lowest leaves and branch/future bud sights. The girls look good and I look forward to another week of progress.

Week 5 bud growth is getting bigger and frosty. Honey Chome emerald harvest is definitely crystallizing the trichomes perfectly, bud candy is helping bud fattening. The buds smell sweet and potent.

-Looking pretty close to being done but not too many amber trichomes yet

As we enter week three, the stem is hardening on the fantasmo as she likes to flop over. No signs of any weird stress other than that plant flopping over, but the Mephisto's wedding is doing its own squat little thing.

2/1: I flushed the taller/skinnier Muscadine Wine and lightly fed everybody else. 2/4: I moved the taller/skinnier MW into the dark for a day...she and several other plants will be harvested tomorrow.

Finished her second week of flush, plan on harvesting her as soon as her pot has fully dried out. Trichomes appear mainly cloudy to the point where the buds appear white. I’ve smoked a few test buds that I took a couple of days into her flush, the taste even at that point was unreal! By far the strongest strain I’ve grown to date. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

Doubled in size in a week, nice shape to her and deep green leaves. Only thing to note is she has put pistols out already, I thought it would be in vegetive stage longer. She needs to fill out some before flowering. This could be normal for autos I don't know, perhaps someone can say? Nice strong genetics.
