So here’s Week 2 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. All in all an easy week but there has been time spent reinforcing a couple of the seedlings because they are so top heavy. I check in on my seedlings at least once a day (oftentimes 2-3 times daily) just to make sure that all equipment is functioning well and temps are stable. Upon looking into the windows of the tent I discovered that the smallest seedling (the one that lost one of it’s cotyledon leaves) was tipped right over. I gently supported her with a homemade splint (a tent peg/pipe cleaner combo- pictured above) and she’s currently standing on her own again. She’s still smaller than the others but surviving, not thriving for now. I used some fresh additional soil to fill in any gaps and pack down around the bases of the other three plants’ stems. Speaking of stems/stalks- the three healthy seedlings have peeling/stretching stalks and are starting to push out their first sets of branches. Other than that, same routine as always- watering every fourth day at 1.4 litres per watering or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. I will be increasing the water sometime over week three. That’s it for now. Mom’s Tip for Week #2- Don’t Over Water! (when growing in soil of course)… When learning to read your plant’s needs, water is a very important factor to consider. I often notice other growers with tiny seedlings sitting in completely saturated pots of soil. Or read that many other growers don’t believe in placing newly sprouted seedlings into their final containers/pots. Both issues being easily resolved by simply paying close attention to your plant’s body language, it’s grow environment and sticking to a schedule. Cannabis truly thrives and benefits from a wet to almost fully dry watering cycle. From my own personal experience with photosensitive strains grown outside in the summer to growing autoflowers indoors through the fall, winter and spring- all of my Cannabis seems to do best when watered every 4th day like clockwork! This schedule is somewhat subjective of course depending on the environment that you are growing in. Here in Canada, much of our year is cool to cold and the humidity is relatively low. Because of this my plants are not always able to take in moisture from the air through their stomas so they suck up more water from what’s readily available in their pots. In other environments (ex. tropical), you may be able to stretch out this cycle- watering every 5-7 days because your plants are pulling so much water directly from the humidity in the air. And how you water your plants matters too. When starting out with newly sprouted seedlings placed into their final containers- less is more. There is no need to completely soak all of the soil in a 5-7 gallon pot. Simply start with a small amount (0.5-1 litre) directing the water to the base of the plant, working your way outwards in a circular pattern. As you increase the amount of water, I try to work my water outwards- making my circle slightly bigger each time I water until eventually I am soaking the soil surface all the way out to the edges of the pot. This process is gradual, stretched over a period of 4-6 weeks. It will encourage the roots to reach for water and allow your plants the time needed to grow into a heavy dose of H2O. Finally, learning to read your plant’s body language will help you to understand when they need and don’t need water as well as food, more/less light, temperature changes, etc. Healthy, well watered plants are generally light green with leaves slightly turned up towards the light/sun. They will be growing/thickening every day and able to support their own weight even in a very breezy environment. Leaves are soft and supple, not dry and brittle and there are usually no marks or discolouration of any kind on the foliage throughout your grow. Water quality is important too but that’s any entirely different tutorial for another time. Bountiful harvests are very possible by simply tweaking your watering schedule to suit your plants’ ultimate needs.

Germinadas al 100% 8/8. Trabajaré con la línea quemanta, aplicamos red roots aportando micorrizas al sustrato y directamente a la radicula de las semillas. #2 dark de Royal life #2 sweet mango de Royal life #2 gelatos #2 zkittlez. Les dejo los primeros 7 días. *Buenos humos

08/09/2020 She is a little wilted but she will be fine water now.Gave her LAB earlier this week and feed her next week with Fox farms 4-9-3 fruit and bloom? I think? She will bounce back to life in about 10min.

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. Love the way these genetics grow and fill out the tent. When I was growing the mother in the pheno hunt I remember remarking how well this plant took to being topped. These 2 plants are front and right in the timelapse video.

Update: Watering & Feeding Log "Today, I watered the two Bruce Banner 🥦 in the back with 2.4 liters each. The water was pH-adjusted to 6.34. As a preventive measure against pests, I added 1 million SF nematodes to the solution.😤 Nutrient Schedule (per Liter): • Hesi Bloom Complex: 2.3ml / L • Hesi Phosphorus Plus (PK): 1.2ml / L • Hesi SuperVit: 1 drop (as per instructions) • Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.8ml / L I skipped the Alfa Boost this time because it tends to lower the pH 🍋further than desired. Environment & Lighting: • LED Power: 88% 💡 • Light Intensity: ~730-825 PPFD • Distance to Canopy: 34cm" #Viparspectra #LED Grow

Har måtte skifte vand igen, jeg har lagt mærke til der er begyndt dannes slim omkring rødderne ( er dette et problem da jeg tænker at det må kvæle dem lidt efter lidt?) jeg HÅBER 🤞 DER ER EN MED ET GODT BUD PÅ HVAD DER SKER OG OM DET KAN REDDES! ELLER OM DET ER FORFRA IGEN IGEN OG SÅ IGEN 🤞

Start of week 8 (week 7 feed for the super Lemon Haze, she's going one extra week in total (9)) th blueberries are packing on serious weight, size and stickiness, while also smelling dank as hell! The Super Lemon Haze is still nutrient hungry, I continue to feed her extra each week and she's packing on serious weight and size now as she goes into the last 2 weeks of her grow. Overall the last week 7 was great and the plants are looking good, approaching the end.

Day 86. Girl is near to the finish, think I took feed too early out for her, it's hard to read 17 plants in such small space, so some mistakes happen naturally ... Hope this Sunday to chop her.

Bin auf Biobizz umgestiegen die PurplePunch hat aufgehört sich zu strecken.

The PH kept dropping towards the end of the week, I have a feeling the plants could use more pk booster and less of everything else so will be only using pk, bloom and micro for next weeks nutrient swap. I'm thinking of dropping the bloom and micro the following week and then flush the week after. Was hoping for the buds to have fattened up a little more but still very happy with the results so far, especially for my first attempt. Had a look at the trichomes with a little 45x scope and they're mostly cloudy, some clear and very few amber (a few amber on the tops of the tallest buds). The blue dream (front left) has very airy/loose buds but hopefully they'll still smoke well when finished. The critical has improved with the extra light that I put down low as a side light. Bruce banner still out in front followed by gorilla glue. The GSC is probably going to yield the least but it has one big bud that is looking super dense and heavy, it took the biggest hit from the root rot and damage early on so was stunted the worst out of the 5 plants

End of week 6. PM sprayed Azamaz 2tbs per gal

Buds poppin' off nicely. Rigged up some bamboo skewers to spread the canopy. Scent's a wild mix - citrus vibes with that diesel kick. Like fuel-soaked shop rags, no joke. Word is this strain ain't a monster yielder, but don't sleep on it. Sometimes the lowkey ones surprise you. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Gonna be fire.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sorry for the lack of update smartphone fell into the water a new one is coming on monday , you'll all see the amazing view i have in the garden today :)

Le 98e jour se passe bien. La plante rentre dans sa phase finale et termine sa maturation. Les pistils commencent à devenir ambrés. C'est la première fois que j'ai une plante qui dépasse plus de 100 jours en espérant avoir le succès escompté 🌱🙏 La récolte se passe dans une semaine, laissant la place à d'autres petits et de nouvelles aventures dans un nouveau substrat.

Day 55 since planting out: Having messed my weeks up a little and now sorting them correctly, these ladies are on par with how I expect photoperiods to be developing so I feel in my comfort zone again. The Los has been an amazing medium for this strain it seems and she is huge. At present she is the biggest girl in the room and her 2 sisters look set to follow suit when given some more space next week. They look like they could go till mid january before their harvest which is a bonus as they will get 3 weeks under their own lights with a nice spread out to hit all those bud sites with full par for their finish. #2 Has the potential for hugeness too but being cramped in at present is keeping her growing. #3 is plodding along waiting for her neighbours to move out so she can steal their sun lounger spot the minute they leave for harvest. They are all starting to smell nice and sweet at the slightest disturbing of their buds and I cannot wait to sample this much respected strain for myself.

Day 74 - Cheese - Been watering with only clean ph every 3-4 days and watching the trichomes. They're mostly cloudy with no amber. Just gonna keep watching and letting it swell. Super Lemon Haze - Buds are coming in nicely. Purple leaves coming in near the top. Gets cold in the basement at night, so I'm not surprised with a bit of colour change. The tip burn doesn't seem to be moving too fast on the leaves it effected and the rest of the growth is coming in nicely. I Think there should be only a few weeks left now, so probably one more nutrient feed and onto flush as well. End of week 11 - For my first grow, I've already made it far past my expectations. Love growing and love these plants. Stay tuned for cheese harvest!
