5/25: It rained again today for most of the day, but I managed to get back out there and take some photos after it let up. I also shot a short video early in the a.m while it was sprinkling and the lights were on... I heard that this strain flowers really fast, but I really don't think she can finish before June 21 (the summer solstice). The other two seedlings (FFT#6 and FFT#7) are in the same boat. The 5 clones outdoors might be able to finish before they get the signal to reveg. I may end up bringing as many of them as I can fit into my closet to finish and starting another batch of beans to grow outdoors this summer... 5/26 - 5/31: I did some training on her early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She's more than 36" across now... She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st, they were dry enough to feed them. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?! That's it for week 8-

Dam I am in love with this plant she took to bending and training so well, then the change in environment from indoors to outdoors should have been rough but it wasn't at all.. she is a trooper and looking to be a producer as well ..

In to week 7 now starting to flush!! Very impressed with this run 💚🌱💚🌱 I’m now running the Futur vert 30 W uv led for 5 hours of the 12/12 with the Futur vert flora max series

This week went by quickly. They're doin their Pre-Flower stretch and getting big quickly!! I added my Pre-Flower mix to them this week. My Nutrient Pre-Flower Mix consists of H20, Coconut, Bananas, Pineapple, Sweet Potatoes, Kelp, Alfalfa Meal, All Organic Non-Pasturized Whole Milk, Epsom Salts, Black Strap Molasses, and L.A.B. or Lactic Acid Bacteria. First, I boiled the coconut, pineapple, sweet potatoes, the bananas, and left the skins on as well except the coconut of course! That I had to split in half and make sure to keep the water inside to add to the boil. After boiling everything I then let it cool and then added it to a blender to blend little by little. After blending I left separate and placed into the fridge. Then I took 1 Tbsp of Alfalfa Meal and 2 Tbsp of Kelp, 500mL of the milk, 2 Tbsp of Epsom Salts, and mixed them in a 750 mL bottle. Then I took 1L of the mix and added 2 Tbsp of L.A.B. and 2 Tbsp of Black Strap Molasses and then shook the bottle well! Then I took the 750mL bottle and the 1L bottle and fed that to the plants adding 250 mL of pH H2O to the plant as well to flush the ingredients all into the plant with the H20. I wanted to also note that I choose to slowly defoliate so that the plant doesn't go into shock and also fan leaves collect light in all spectrums so taking too many off at a time could hurt or slow the growth of your plant! The amount of light your plant takes in daily is called DLI or Daily Light Index. Overall, they're really growing and have a ton of bud sites developing! I'm excited to see the growth weekly and their colors!

Kicking ass this cheese went outside and brought back inside

Nous somme à la 6ème semaines de floraison tout se passe comme prévu les bourgeons continuent de gonflés les paramètres sont excellents 24 degrés en température 55% en hydrometrie. - L'ajout de RQS guano a redonner un coup pouce à la plante les bourgeons ont sacrément gonfler aimer et regarder par vous même. Cet semaine sera aussi la dernière irrigation avec nutes. Ce run est l'une de mes préférée. Léger carences en azote post-stretch cela es dû a un faible apport de celui-ci mais rien de grave cela indique les derniers semaine de vie de cette dame le rinçage sera simple et éfficace. L'odeur quelle dégage es fortement fruité cela sent le 🍬 🍬. A plus pour d'avantge d'informations.👍🏼

Whew, what a hot, humid and wet week. Although we had a major storm this week, Gorilla Cookies proved her strength to withstand:) This week I took the time to go to the Fast Buds website and read about the "plant appearance." FBA says Miss Gorilla Cookies will grow to a height of 150cm which is 59 inches. My Gorilla Cookies is 33 inches tall. So, I can boast about that, however, I can not boast about my Gorilla Cookies being "Stout and Bushy." I even looked on the FB website to see some pictures of other growers Gorilla Cookies and mine are tall and lean. BUT, my plant stems look very similar to the plant stems on FB website. I did stop using Miracle Grow and started giving my plant Advanced Nutrients!! I am hoping this will be good for bud growth. Fast Buds does boast Gorilla Cookies will be completed around 10 weeks and that I will " be amazed at the insane trichome production. Especially in the final weeks when she definitely packs on some weight and you see the buds getting white in resin and reeking of cookies and gas." I am excited to see what the next two weeks will produce. Miss Gorilla Cookies has definitely proven to be resilient because we have certainly had some tough weather to deal with and I gave my Gorilla Cookies Miracle Grow nutrients which I would never do again. Please leave me a comment and let's chat it up:)

Last photos are almost 2 months into curing mode.

Snip, snip! Under good conditions, they could have stayed in the ground for at least another 7–14 days so that the tubers could become firm. I didn't want to take any risks, as some of the Medusa flowers ended up in the trash can due to rot, so I decided to harvest the Sweet ZZ earlier as well. Fortunately, it proved to be very resistant to rot, and I was able to hang up the entire harvest to dry. I can therefore absolutely recommend it for outdoor use, even under very poor conditions or rainy summers. I did not weigh the flowers when wet.

Battling with spider mites at this stage. I am trying to keep them at bay using different methods. Neem oil spray, garlic and mint spray, pain water sprays. I also fed some fungal tea I brewed for 72 hours.

Wow, they are growing! Began LST on day 26 and have been working them daily. We did run into our first speed bump. Noticed that some newer growth near the tops of the plants had white/yellow tips on leaves. Using a CMH, I was concerned my light was too close. I moved the light up quite a bit but continued seeing new growth with this problem. Realized it was likely minor nute burn from FFOF... wow it really is as HOT as I have heard... something to consider on future grows. I have left the light up higher though, as I read multiple accounts of people using CMHs near top of tent with no negative effects. To this point, I have seen no stretching or anything that would cause me to lower the light. I did do a light cal/mag feeding once this week but do not believe it has anything to do with the burn. Reading other grow diaries for this strain, and using RO water, I wanted to begin feeding at a low ppm. Maybe not the best idea considering, but we live and we learn. Photos/video are day 29 since breaking the soil.

New weekly video uploads and more! See what’s happening in the Cabbage Patch! Day 14 Flower! Plants looking very h@ppy. Can’t wait to get in there and give it’s last defoliation. Day 16 - She’s stacking up nice! Just need to water when dry. She’s on cruise control! Day 20 - Defoliation video for ya! Cheers 🍻

Day 29... afternoon very sunny and warm temp 👍 Day 30 damn hot and full of sun 😎👍 Day31 warm weather with sun in the morning, laters cloudy with high humidity 😃 Day32 totally fucked up weather...rain non stop and cloudy 😕😫😩 Day33 same damn weather then yesterday oh lord 😒😠😵

Defoliated and trimmed lower fluff from The plant day 20 flower , Lots of air and light can now get to the plant and hopefully grow some nice buds

Firstly we've place the seeds in water for 72 hours. Then place in Jiffy pods, then placed in a mini hothouse under 2x 28watt halogen bulbs until day 14. Then they'll be placed in large 16-20 litre pot, then placed in the greenhouse to live out their life. Day 2. Gelato Auto have been planted in the jiffy pod. Day 3. Auto Ultimate and Gorilla Glue Auto have been planted in the Jiffy pods. Day 4. Halogen lights too hot, so now they are in the bathroom under one of the ceiling heat light. It's perfect, the humidity ranges around 78 - 83% and the temperature ranges between 18.2 to 21.8 degrees over the 24 hr period Day 6. The Gelato Auto has sprouted along with 6/7 Auto Ultimate. Leaving one more to come plus the Auto Gorilla Glue. Auto Gorilla glue and Auto Gelato were free seeds with the Auto Ultimate. So they'll becoming along for the ride. Day 7. All of the Auto Ultimate have sprouted, leaving just the Gorilla Glue Auto to come. It's has a tap root, it just hasn't escaped from the seed yet Day 9. 5 Auto Ultimate have been planted into 16 litre buckets and placed under 200watt HPS bulb 18/6. The rest will be planted on day 11. Day 10. Gorilla Glue is gone. When you see a seed case that won't fully open with a very small tap root. It's either delicately remove the case and membrane and hope it'll do something. If you break it, waste of time. If you don't, waste of nutrients and soil on a maybe so opted to say good bye. It's a free seed so no loss. Plant the Auto Gelato and the two Auto Ultimate tomorrow morning. Day 11. 2 Auto Ultimate and the Gelato Auto have been planted outside in the hot house. The other 5 will join in week three of growth. It's said to grow then under lights for the first three weeks. So we will the difference between starting outdoor and starting indoor. This is my comparison Grow. Day 12. Hot house has built-in misting system to help with it humidity levels. I do a feed once a week with fish fertilizer. Soil mixed with dynamic lifter & slow release fertilizer pellets. Mist will go off at 9am, 2 pm and 930pm. More often or less weather permitting. Hot house open during the day and closed in the afternoon and throughout the night. All is doing well in the hothouse. The 5 Auto Ultimate indoors are doing great as well. So far so good. Day 14. Germination period has ended. We only lost the Gorilla Glue Auto. When the 5 indoor ones reach three weeks they will join the others outside, to complete. MH light now set at 400watt
