Sorry not many pics this week, struck down with man-flu! Few pics of the new 600wt lumni fully adjustable light I picked up and have replaced one of the smaller kingbo’s with it, thought about having the two kingbo’s either side of this lumni but I really didn’t wanna forfeit the 400wt cobs! Also bought another double output air pump, so going into flowering phase, watt/plant ratio has increased and so has aeration to the air domes inside the smart pots. I’ve also added a small water pump to the nutrient tank to keep it moving/oxygenated while it’s waiting to feed into the drip tray.

So this is how the ladies are looking at the end of Week 2 from Seed, I have added a video to show you guys the progress and what I have done.

Last week (9th) of flower harvested at day 63 flowering I had some overwatering problems in week 3-4 which threw me back like 2-3 weeks of veg, all plants had stunted growth... I did some lolipoping just before flowering but it seems it wasn't enough...alot of small budsites...will remove more next time... All in all i'm still very satisfied with the harvest, alot of nice mid-sized nuggets, all over resin Will add harvest weeks for both strains next week after i dried them

Week 6 of veg in the books and I’m rather disappointed with this strain overall. Recovery time on the topping was terrible (if they recovered at all), internodal spacing is extremely stretchy which isn’t at all lending to more pronounced side branching. On top of that they just aren’t growing quickly at all. The fan leaves are massive and the bud sites are very limited. None of them have even begun to show vegetative maturity. Well still take the run to flower but I don’t expect to take this batch of F1 seed any further with these types of characteristics. If the bud is anything short of straight 🔥, I’ll pitch the whole lot of seeds as simply unworthy. Oh well. It was still worth a shot… no deficiencies or issues - just a shitty genetic at this point.

Tried some lst to get the plants more in the middle. Since this is my first grow I wasn't really sure what I'm doing. Growth seemed to be good in that week. Also added the second Bio Tab Tablet

Tag 75: Die Pflanze sieht echt schlimm aus 😱 Ich hoffe das meine Rettungsmaßnahmen bald Wirkung zeigen 😕 Tag 80: Auf anraten habe ich mir eine ph pen usw. gekauft. Der Ph wert liegt bei 8 😱 ! Deshalb werde ich keinen Calmag Dünger mehr verwenden. Und den Ph wert einstellen müssen und abwarten...

The ladies are really putting on some height this week! Starting to smell good too. At the end of my video you can see the little plant that could - was originally going to trash it but it started coming back so I gave it a little spot in the corner to fill in. Getting her repotted this week. My AC Infinity self-watering fabric pot bases came in as well, really excited to get that going tomorrow.

2/23: The Black Jacks and Gorilla Girls are finally ripe and ready! I'll let them go til Thursday and move them into the dark.😃

So welcome to Week 9 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow! Unfortunately after two years of due diligence- I was finally infected with Covid 19 so I have gotten really behind with this diary. In Week 7, I switched from the Grow to the Bloom fertilizer at a rate of 2.5 mls per gallon. I am still watering every 4th day at 3 litres per plant or 0.75 of a litre per day per plant. This strain seems particularly hungry/greedy so by the end of Week 7, I’ve decided to fertilize with every watering instead of every other. I’m not increasing the dosage of the fertilizer but the frequency in which it’s being given. Other than that the plants are doing fine through Weeks 7, 8 & 9 with the buds fattening up nicely, loads of wet to the touch resin and a super strong smell emanating from the tent even when it’s closed! That’s it for the past three weeks, Covid sucks and thank goodness harvest is just around the corner! Apologies for not offering up any further "mom’s tip of the week" but I’m just finishing up this diary for kicks at this point. Thanks.

Hello Diary, The third week of vegetation has ended and the plants are entering the flowering phase. The flowers have started to form, which is nice to see in the photos, all in all I am satisfied with how they are developing. They grew a little more than 10 cm and got a lot of new leaves, so now they are really bushy. I'm thinking of doing a little defoliation next week, I'll see how it goes. The humidifier is still on to keep the humidity around 60% while the temperature is around 22 degrees. They still don't ask for much water so I only had one watering this week when I gave them about 2 liters of water each. This time I added Bigger Flowers and Thicker Flowers at the recommended dosage for the third week of vegetation. Here's what it looked like last week. 12/02/2023. - Day 19. Watering. I prepared 4 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick and added Bigger Flowers 0.5/1 lit and Thicker Flowers 0.1/1 lit and with that amount I watered both plants evenly. 14/02/2023. - Day 21. Photographing and height measurement. End of the third week of vegetation. Medusa F1 #1 - 32cm Medusa F1 #2 - 28 cm That's all for this week, see you soon.

They bounced back really nice from the topping last week, did some more defoliation and let them heal from the HST. I'm considering topping them again but I don't know if it's time for flowering?!

I decided to submit the better banana purple punch, a frostbangor auto and tester 2504 .By fastbuds to the american auto cup.That's why I will be away, not dating on the garden. Wish me luck friends

Hello everyone. We're doing well, we've been growing for 7 weeks and we're blooming, the binge has gotten stronger, the bumps are getting more and more. We've added more of these supplements from Xpert Nutrients. Bloom Booster Sticky Fingers .

🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 7 from Seed Flower Week 3 | 12/12 from Seed Welcome back everyone — and welcome to anyone just joining the journey 👋 This is our Lemon Cherry Gelato update, currently Week 7 from seed, which we’re considering Flower Week 3 in our 12/12-from-seed room. There’s a lot to talk about this week, so let’s start by bringing everyone up to speed. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run is part of a larger 8×8 mixed-genetics environment, where multiple cultivars share the same room, light strategy, and environment. The approach from day one has been: • low stress • observational • plant-led decisions • learning in real time No chasing perfection — just paying attention. The Lemon Cherry Gelato plants have been vigorous and very bushy since early on, with strong branching and dense foliage that required intervention as flower development began to accelerate. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Why This Week, Why This Way This week we performed a fairly deep defoliation, similar to what was done on a few other girls in the room. Why? • The plants were extremely bushy • Light penetration was becoming limited • Airflow needed improvement • Bud sites were stacking fast We removed a significant amount of inner and overlapping foliage to: • allow photons to pass through the canopy • improve airflow • help the plant focus energy where it matters It may look aggressive in photos, but it was done intentionally and carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Phenotypes You’ll notice two slightly different expressions in the photos: • First photos → Lemon Cherry Gelato • Second one → what we’re calling the “other” Cherry Gelato Both plants: • very bushy • beautifully structured • incredibly lush green One plant showed some funky leaf expressions, but nothing concerning — genetics being genetics. Both were defoliated deeply, but not excessively — just enough to give them room to breathe. They are not alone in the room, and in a shared environment, balance matters. ⸻ 🔥 Minor Observations • A few burned leaves from under-canopy lighting • Nothing serious • Easily managed • Already addressed You’ll spot them in some of the mini photos. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, nothing was changed on purpose. Current parameters: • Day temperature: ~28 °C • Relative Humidity: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Plant height: ~40 cm to ~80 cm • Lighting: LED Many growers would say these temperatures are too high for flower — but context matters. Under LED lighting, leaf surface temperature runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient room temperature. Because of that, we focus on leaf VPD, not room VPD. The plant is what matters — not the number on the wall. We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Response The plants are telling us clearly that they’re happy: • deep, lush green foliage • no visible stress • strong internodal structure • uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes When the plant is happy, stability beats adjustment. That’s why the feeding stayed exactly the same this week. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Next Week What we expect: • visible bud stacking • calyx development accelerating • stretch slowing down • energy shifting fully into flower production What we don’t expect: • major environmental changes • aggressive interventions • unnecessary corrections Next week is about watching, listening, and letting the plants work. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To our humble eyes, this garden is looking outstanding — but we’re always open to: • criticism • suggestions • questions • different perspectives Lovers, haters, followers, OGs, newcomers — everyone is welcome here. This is a shared space, and interaction is how we all grow.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
