🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Irgendwie zeigen die Pflanzen deutlichen Nährstoffmangel, obwohl ich den Dünger nach Anleitung verwende.

🌱 Week 17 Update (Veg) The girls are looking amazing 💪🌿 — tall, full, and ready to make the big move into flower 🔜🌸🔥. Canopy is thick and even 🌳✨ with strong branching and vibrant color 🌞🍃. Thrips are basically gone

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

Everything is going smooth. Starting to see some stretching. I have removed a few leaves on the top to help get light deeper into the plant. I am going to start them on some maxibloom when they start popping pistils.

Hi people and welcome to my grow diary, I have grown before a few times and have extensive knowledge in growing cannabis, I have been limited on space before and not being able to explore my potential to its fullest, I also tried hydro with not the best results you live you learn you come back better, this time around I have good space good tent size and it has all been set up to my specification, I am doing real Queen seeds Royal Highness which is a daytime smoke with high CBD which is what I'm looking for I have been smoking cannabis now for over 18 years now and love it, I like to share with other growers and other like-minded small growers and professionals out there in the cannabis cultivation industry, like others I am trying to perfect my craft and this time I will do just that, I germinated 10 feminized Royal Highness seeds with 100% success rate the genetics from royal Queen seeds are on point!, below I will explain the method I used and how I got such a good germination rate, I soak my seeds in water boiled first then cooled down to room temperature then left them in a cupboard for 24-hours, when I came back I tap the seeds they all sunk to the bottom of the glass, I then use the same water from the glass the seeds are within to wet a couple of pieces of kitchen roll and let the excess drain off, I then move the seeds to the kitchen paper giving them space between each seed I then put them into a heated propagator and left them for another 12 to 24 hours and they had all sprouted a tap root, While I was waiting for the seeds to Germinate I prepared 10 pots of natural coco mixed with perlite, I ran through just plain tap water a few times through each spot it was running clear I left them on the windowsill overnight to come up to room temperature I then planted the seeds into these pots the next day, 24-hours later and I had to carefully go digging just a small bit and I found and around eight of my colydons coming up through the coco I left these exposed to my viper spectra 600 watt LED but still in the propagator with the lid on, few more hours and they should be standing straight up and kicking. The light is just under 2 ft from the propagator, I will update as my grow progressive please pull up a chair and join me if you wish it will be a pleasure to have you along on the journey, I appreciate every single person who reads if you want to know more I will answer questions and also have a bit of banter thank you for looking please enjoy peace and blessings to UPDATE Friday 15th of November 2019............................................... Hello guys this is an update I have added an update to the comments but i will move that here soon also, so everything is together nice and neat, Today marks the end of week one from popping the seeds including germination time, All plants are growing their second set of true leaves so not long now until they make it out the seedling stage, hoorayyyyyy, Temps are perfect at 26c humidity up around the 60s in tent but I have them in the humidity dome so will be a lot higher in and around high 80s they are loving it, I have now changed out my Mars hydro 400w for my viper Spectra 600w LED and they're loving that also, I have now started to feed with plagron terra grow, Snoop Dogg radical roots and I am continuing to use calmag, as I had some of this left I'm only going to use this until these parts have been rooted once I transplant I will start to use the canna line, I will use my one question to ask you lovely guys and girls what are the best results in the dense buds you have had from nutrients in Coco, I'll put that up after this update I will take some more photos today and I will upload them and that will be the last of week 1 and I'm talking day one was when I put the seeds into the cup of water and within 7-days I'm on my second to set of leaves that it's not bad going happy with that, I don't want no mistakes on this group I want absolute perfection to maximize yields and maximize the quality and density of the bud, my skills and knowledge and the time I've spent learning and perfecting my craft is up to scratch now and I know I can do a successful crop without any problems, And we will achieve that guys positivity is the key To success i hope you are all enjoying my grow I update regularly with pictures every other day killing my data but it's ok I love you guys, peace love and blessings happy growing.

Super frosty ☃️

Hey everyone 🤗. A lot has happened this week ☺️. Not surprised that the plants look so extremely dark, is that because I sprayed them with neem oil as a preventive measure , because I discovered a very young trip on a plant. This annoys me extremely, because the attachment room is very clean and neither shoes nor dirty clothes come in when you enter the room 😩. But since I had the problem in most cases years ago, I am very confident that I will get the problem under control very quickly 😃. Otherwise, everything is developing very well as usual 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😃. You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/sweet-skunk-f1-fast-version/ Type: Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Sweet Skunk Auto (SWS34) X Early Skunk 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

Week 1 Flower The twins are finally in flower and looking extremely happy and healthy. They were thrown into flower on day 55 veg (day 0 flower). They we're lollipopped towards the end of the week, on day 6. I also pinch the tops of the main stems of each branch that is growing taller than the rest, to slow it down. This not only allows the other tops to keep up, but it will also thicken the stem and make the branch stronger. Their base nutrients were changed to a 1:1:1 (G:M:B) ratio throughout transition. Silicon is increased while they're stretching, as they are growing at a much faster rate. Cal-Mag and Epsom Salts were also increased slightly, and will be kept at this level until they're stopped later in flower. You can clearly see the difference in structure between these two pheno's, now they're in flower. Unexpectedly, Twin2 hasn't stretched as much as Twin1 in this early stage in stretch, and is sidebranching like mad. With that being said, I think Twin1 is looking slightly better and a more beautiful plant. Time will tell... 🌹 Slo Mo vid of Twin1 on Day 7 📽️ Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

The end of week 1 has arrived. We all know how it goes. Just playing the waiting game. At this stage these girls are just working on building their root system. The roots should be hitting the reservoir in the bottom of the buckets soon then they should take off. Got the water pumping and the lights beaming 24 hours a day. Running a low dose of maxigro. Keeping the ph around 6. Will probably be topping them around day 12. Would be amazing if I can get them ready to switch to flower at the end of week 3. But for now I'm just going to check on them 420 times a day hoping they don't die. Might be back next week if they are alive. Happy growing!

week 2: I filled up the pots because the plants were a little long but now they are more stable, the light is now from 25% to 50%. All in all I’m pretty happy with the plants 🌱 (:

# La germination c'est bien passé la graine était foncée et tigrée. Elle a sortit son germe dans le verre d'eau et c'est enraciné en +/-96h avec un petit peu d'aide. 💯 Jusqu'à présent Zamnezia seeds 🌱🌱🌱 # 08/14: zamnezia ma fait cadeau de 3x3 graines pour essayer leurs variétés. Donc un grand merci à zamnezia ! Je n'ai mit que une graine de GSC auto zamnezia seed à germer aujourd'hui pour ce qui est de la méthode de culture j'hésite encore car je viens d'acquérir un waterfarmer de chez GHE: un système par percolation. Enfin j'ai +/- 5 jours pour me décider ! D'ailleurs si quelqu'un a des conseils à mes donner quand à l'utilisation d'un système hydroponique par percolation, je suis preneur ! Great day at the growdiaries.com communauté 🌞🌱🌱🌱🌞 À peine à 7 heures après l'avoir mise dans le verre d'eau que la voilà déjà au fond du verre d'eau. 💦🌞🌱😜 08/15: depuis 24h dans le verre d'eau Hr: 70% T°: 23°C et toujours rien aucun germe, l'effet loupe du vere ma permit de voir que la graine s'ouvrait comme un moule, le germe devrait pas tarder à sortir. normalement d'ici 24h le germe devrait être apparent. normalement je met +/- 5 jours pour faire germer une graine! j'hésite encore quand à l'utilisation du waterfarmer car je doit tamponé les billes d'argiles aisi que que le rockwool chose que je n'avais pas anticipé, pour le rockwool ça semble plutôt simple: trempé 24 h dans une solution ayant un ph entre 5.5 et 6 pendant +/-48 heureus (merde j'ai oublié d'ajouter du root juice et du canna start à ma solution). Pour les billes d'argilles ça deviend plus compliqué faut les nettoyer et les tamponer meme celle de chez plagron (je suis très étoner qu'ils n'aient pas tamponés eux même leurs billes destinés à de l'hydroponique. en faisant deux trois recherche j'ai trouver des billes déjà nétoyer ayant un ph bas mais pas précisé sois disant près à l'emplois. on verra ça demain à l'arrivé du colis. dans tous les cas si je n'utilise pas le waterfarmer, j'utilserai un pot en geo-textile de 15L (lightmix/coco/perlite/humusLombric/guano/trichodermas) 3 portions de lightmix pour une de coco et d'humus, le reste lire la notice :D 23:03: je vois le radicule sortir fébrilement grâce au verre "nutela" 😂 qui ont un fond qui à un effet loupe , le waterfarmer sera pour le prochain plant :(, lesson a retenir, se documenter avant de faire quoique soit! 08/16: la graine à germer 💚 et la graine s'entre-ouvrait je voyais le vert/blanc des cotelydons dans l'ouverture. Je l'ai directement planter dans sont pot de 15L. 08/17: no news. Patience les amis 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🌞 08/19: la voilà qui arrive fébrilement ✌️. D'ici ce soir elle devrait être droite ou presque :)#1

It’s going well 😎

Has been a good week for the girls. They really exploded this week. I can't keep up with the ties. They got too big to have a level canopy. Will have to adjust later this week after defoliation and lollipopping. Will be a huge week and the girls will look different next time you see them!

Harvested around 1 week ago, slowly drying with around 22° and 60% humidity. 3 different phenos. N2 Is the best about of 3. N1 is biggest one but buds quite small. N3 is not as frosty and dense as 1 and 2.

Going nice;))))

28 days later....worm poo and coffee grounds not made much difference to colour of leaves, although all are growing nicely...trying some spirulina powder next to see if that helps
