Day 33: What an amazing height and bud gain in just 3 days! Lady #1 is 67 cm tall now, her sister a tad smaller. Both still have a great color, and I dared to cur away just the lowest branches and leaves that do not look like they could gain height in time. Really enjoying this strain so far!
At the end of their day, they are a bit dropping leaves, so clearly no hunger for more light. The impressive growth speed continued on their buds: Tallest lady at 70 cm now.
Their next morning shows growth is still at an impressive 5 cm/day as lady #1 with her leaves erected again stretches now 72, the maximum of my previous growth. Pulled the lights as close as possible to the ceiling and hope they won’t make it much more than 1 m. I activated the Sansi 30 W folded wings LED to give them somewhat of a morning and evening light and to add some more light to their overlapping center branches in the middle of "their" day. Sadly that’s causing some interference to the timelapse videos, but I can’t say they’re perfect if it wouldn’t.
Watching the timelapse video of day 34, I have the feeling the additional light rather irritates them. Maybe the interference is not only visible for electronic eyes. I’ll keep it off next day for comparisons.
Day 35 shows stretch speed has reduced indeed and they seem to be concentrating on leaf and bud growth instead. 75 cm, so we are currently at "only" 3 cm/day. Watered them with a HPE/Bud growth mix again last night, about 1 l each.
Well, forget my words about reduced growth. After they recovered during the night, we are at 77 cm for lady #1.
Which measured at 78 with hanging leaves in their day’s evening. I must have missed a day number – day 36 concludes their 5th week. I gave them another 2 l of fertilised water each and will lave them for the weekend again.
Video shows that growth concentrates now more on leaf and bud development than on gaining height. So I guess my 160 cm tent will be sufficient. For a moment I was worried, but it looks like stretch is over. Anyway, time to rearrange the camera next week. Leaves are running out of focus.

Crazy gain in size on these buds really shocked she is fattening up nicely. High as hell humidity at 68% nightly and 54% daytime but no mold or any issues and she still smells good and those crystals are really starting to show. The hairz are starting to show some gold and orange so she is hetting closer every week now .. Dinafem has some strong and tough genetics this og kush is kicking ass ..

🌱 Week 8 Grow Diary – Flower Power in Full Effect! 🌼
The garden is thriving and growth hasn’t slowed down one bit! 💪🌿
✨ This week was maintenance mode:
• Gave some love to Amaretto, Sour, and Red Hot Violet with a good defoliation 🍃✂️
• Did a round of LST to keep the canopy even and happy 🌐🌿
• Also went in with some topping to encourage that sweet bushy growth 🍥🌱
🌸 Flowering update:
• Gorilla Zkittles is bursting into bloom! 🌺 Heavy flowers and a zesty fruit punch aroma fills the air 🍋🍓🍍
• Grape Wedding Force is straight-up grape candy magic 🍇🍬 – sugary, smooth, and super loud in scent!
🛠️ Next Steps:
• Keep feeding according to schedule 🍽️
• Monitor for any nutrient shifts now that flowering is well underway 👀📈
• Watch for trichome development 🔬✨ (Can’t wait!)
🌞 Temps are steady, lights are doing their thing, and the plants are responding beautifully. 🙌
⸻
💬 Question….
Have you noticed a bigger terp explosion when defoliating early in flower? 🤔🍃

Just letting them grow out now i want them to continue getting taller and i will continue LST-ing throughout .
They will veg for probably 4 more weeks before i flip to flower in the SCROG/Flower Tent where they will receive direct sunlight for 12/12
ALSO I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE WITH THE LABELLING
i actually have 3 Grandaddy Purple clones, 2 Pineapple Express pheno #1 clones and only 1 Northern Lights clone
as the plants grew i noticed the difference and similarities in characteristics

Week 3: Vegetative Stage – Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower
The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. I’ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos.
By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which I’m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plant’s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action.
On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger.
Current Setup:
Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant
Lights: DLI set to 22
Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek)
Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

A great week for my Northern Lights she seemed to slow down on growth a bit the first couple weeks of flowering. This was actually the scrappy looking one that I didn’t think would turn out so pretty,,,, but she looks beautiful today ✌️🌱✌️

Slt, fin de la 3eme semaine, les plantes continuent de se développer, pour les 2 pieds de gorilla cbd, un des deux semble être un peu difforme en comparaison du 1er, on verra comment il évolue.
Pour la critical+2.0, les pieds semblent vigoureux et se développe plutôt bien.
J’ai tester pour la 1ère fois il y’a 24h le topping, j’espère ne pas l’avoir fait trop tôt. Je souhaite que les plantes se développent en largeur et pas trop en hauteur. Pour réaliser une belle canopes bien dense.
Je vais commencer aussi une très légère défoliation pour que la plante concentre son énergie uniquement sur les parties hautes.
J’ai réduit l’humidité à 60%. J’ai réduit aussi l’engrais pour racines.
Voilà c’est à peu près tout.. à la semaine prochaine
Happy Grow... 😎

4/7/24 day 14, added about a half inch of worm castings. Should’ve done it in the beginning. Better late than never? 😂🌱
4/8 so the same node that she grew leaves with only two fingers, are now only growing on one side, rather than both, so I cut the Lowest leaves and branches to of. I know you’re not supppsed to stress autos but I’ve done it before and I usually top them but thought I’d go without this time around.
4/14 end of week 3 she’s still short. Getting thicker. Looking happy the whole time. Seeing pistils at nodes. Possibly just showing sex

Germinating with RO Water + Liquid Seaweed. Using shot glass for 48 hours to break open the shell, and a paper towel for 24hrs to grow the taproot. Then transport to Jiffy peat pellets (soaked in 300PPM seaweed + camg) for initial vegging.

Still defoliating leaves as the turn yellow. Looked at adjusting the LST, but most of the stems are pretty firm by now, not a lot of flexy green ones. Buds on the taller plant are filling out a lot, looking pretty hairy. The shorter/bushier plant is looking pretty sparkly, but still not getting a lot of pistils. Not sure if the Koolbloom really helped that much or if it was just timing, but the buds definitely started developing a lot faster since I added it.
Ready to wrap this grow up! Come on, girls!

Day 42-49: I had some growth this week primarily on the R3 and some on the CbDream. Very slow on the R2. I’m wondering if it’s just sub par phenotypes. Idk anymore haha. Just waiting to see what happens here. Don’t think I’ll pack it right full next time. And try to concentrate more on 8-12 tops on a manifold rather than 30 smaller ones. Live and learn. I bought an Inkbird heat and cooling controller, seems to be holding my temps and 77 in the day and 69 at night. I decided to go back to week 4 ratios to see if that helps, they aren’t overly different so we’ll see.
Runoff for Cali Kush and R2 which are closer to the heater is 5.75 1000 and R3 and CbDream is 6.05-1.2 1400, so plain water for the next couple waterings.
