9/8/2024 Plant B showing signs of female with hairs coming from the pre-flower formations. Looks to be stretching and starting to push into flower as well. Plant A is growing insanely well! Continuing to defoliate daily by removing larger fan leaves here and there to continue to open up the canopies on both plants. No complete water change yet since a few weeks ago. I have continued to add fresh nutrient water with an occasional pH-adjusted gallon of filtered water + cal mag. 9/10/2024 Both plants and stretching nicely and developing great canopies! Plant A is an absolute monster, plant B is small and compact but has really good node spacing already. I am expecting some nice flower development over the next few weeks! Topping off the reservoir with about 1 - 1.5 gallons per day of nutrient water at this point. Continuing to prune a good handful of leaves and smaller growth from the plants to open up the canopy leading up to day 21 final trim. Trying to stay ahead of a huge stress event for the plants. 9/12/2024 Continuing to defoliate handful of leaves and prune smaller undergrowth. Cutting only 2-4 stems per day to avoid over stressing. 9/13/2024 Raised lights over plant A a few inches as it continues to stretch. Also trying to keep the lights low enough for plant B without burning the side branches of plant A. 9/14/2024 All week I have been adding nutrient water to the system. No water change or replacement. However today, I decided to introduce just pH-balanced water to drop the nitrogen concentration in the system as we transition into week 3 flower. Highest PPM throughout the week was around 900, average 800, low in the PM after pH water 700. Had a minor flow issue with a root plug in one of the drain lines. Blew them out and flow returned. Humidity in the tent has been slightly higher than ideal this week, although VPD has been around 1 - 1.4 with the lights on. Likely due to the volume of plant matter in the tent. Doing my best to keep up with defoliation and trimming. Day 21 flower will be much needed!

Day 18. Just after being watered. Looking real stocky after being topped. You can see in the video where the two new shoots are growing nicely. Really big leaves at the moment, Roots have expanded and grown massively. Struggling to keep the humidity up at the moment, as much water in the tent as possible right now. Soon they will be big enough to start the LST.

The Gas Tax x Obama Runtz plant is looking really good. It's got these super pretty leaves and it's stretched a whole bunch. I think it might be my favorite plant in the tent. The new year is off to a frosty start! We've had snow falling for what feels like forever. My kids are loving it, of course. They're building forts, having snowball fights, and turning everything into a winter wonderland. It's been a lot of fun to watch them enjoy it. All this snow is really making me think about how quickly time flies. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the holidays, and now here we are knee-deep in winter. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, but for now, I'm enjoying the quiet beauty of fresh snow.

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. 24.1.25: Gorilla Cookies is absolutely healthy and strong! I'm very pleased with this plant. I was looking into topping autoflowers and had wanted to top her. Anyway I read some things, as a result of which I decided, last night, I wasn't going to do it. So today came around, and I topped it. Totally forgot I wasn't going to do it 😅 I was really excited to experiment with topping in addition to LST. Now I guess we're all in! 🤞 Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Girls have really taken off this week with explosive growth. All of these photos and videos are on day 21 of the grow. Plan on doing some low stress training shortly. Increased the nutrients by a bit this week! Lowered lights to 22ish inches. Cal mag 2ml Micro 2.5ml Gro 2.5 Bloom 1ml And slowly increasing the water amount each feed. They are reacting nicely to this approach so I will continue to do so.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 va être décisive pour cette demoiselle car je vais pratiquer sur elle un main-lining et un LST Je précise que le main-lining n'est pas recommandé pour les autofloraisons car son cycle de vie prédéfinie ne lui permet pas de ce remettre pleinement. Cela aura forcément un impact sur son rendement, pour des raisons esthétiques et un espace de culture restreint je n'ai pas d'autre choix. Pour ce main-lining j'ai attendu le jour 24 et l'apparition du septième noeuds. Une fois le main-linning terminé je pratiquerai la technique du LST ce qui me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Vous pouvez voir une vidéo de mon main-lining qui détaille la manière dont je procède pour réaliser cette technique. Petit rappel et explications sur cette technique: Le main-lining a toujours été une technique très populaire parmi les cultivateurs, puisqu'avec des ajustements simples pendant la première étape de croissance, vous vous garantissez des récoltes plus que productives. Il s'agit de faire pousser la plante de façon verticale et symétrique afin de profiter au maximum de la lumière et de l'espace, des aspects très recherchés dans les cultures d'intérieur. En guidant les branches avec des cordes et une série de tailles initiales, vous établirez des patrons de croissances vigoureux pour vos plantes. COMMENT METTRE EN PLACE LE MAIN-LINING En partant de la graine, attendez que votre plante ait au moins développé 5 nœuds. Lorsqu’ils seront formés, taillez la plante au niveau du troisième nœud. Retirez tout ce qui s’est développé en dessous du troisième nœud(Moi j'enlève que le premier et garde le deuxième et troisième). Cela formera le Y ou le T initial que vous recherchez. Permettez à votre plante de se remettre de ce stress imposé durant quelques jours avant de passer à l’étape suivante. Votre plante comporte désormais deux pousses principales(ou 4 si vous gardez le deuxième noeud). Ces dernières devraient être attachées avec du fil ou de la ficelle(ou du fil de fer). Cela dirigera la croissance de manière horizontale. Faites bien attention en attachant les branches, ne les brisez surtout pas. Soyez doux. Une fois que la plante s’est un peu développée, vous vous retrouverez avec 4 tiges principales. Vous pourrez répéter ce processus autant de fois que vous le souhaiterez, accédant ainsi à de plus gros rendements. Rappelez-vous tout de même que plus vous répéterez ce processus, plus la période de croissance sera longue. Sauf pour les autofloraisons car étant donné le temps additionnel qu’il lui faut, le main-lining n’est pas compatible avec les variétés à autofloraison. Les autofloraisons ont des cycles de croissance très rapides, et d’ici à ce que la technique soit mise en place, la moitié de leur développement sera déjà passé. Cela pourrait potentiellement endommager les récoltes et cela influe sur le rendement Dès que vous aurez produit la quantité désirée de séparations, il ne sera plus qu’une question de temps avant que des têtes uniformes commencent à apparaître. Une légère défoliation régulière durant le cycle de croissance vous permettra également de vous assurer d’une distribution égale de la lumière, et empêchera votre plante de gâcher de l’énergie avec de grandes feuilles superflues. Retirez ces feuilles dès qu’elles commencent à prendre trop de place. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

Everything is going great Royal Gorilla is the farthest along . It is very compact and starting to get a little frosty. Green Gelato is the second farthest along. Doing well. It is very spaced out LSD is coming along. I think because it has probably double the branches, it is taking longer to develop HulkBerry was put into 12/12 4 days later but is looking good. Plant structure is very similar to the Green Gelato

Annnnnnndddddddd we're done. Eight weeks in flower and I might have let her go too far. Many amber trichomes, but that's mainly on the tops of the upper buds (tops of the tops, hehe).

Same regime i did add rose bloom for a 1 time feed. Dug a inch or so around the root and 1 inch or so hole by the pots edge. Recovered with soil then watered. I did not like the effects tho. It made a bunch of leaves change colors like they had p and k deficiencies. Stalks and viens got red but went back to normal after another watering with just 6.3 ph water
