Day 46 of flower.

Week 10 I actually thought it will be ready soon, but the trichomes still need time. I hope to harvest it before the end of the week. Not growing anymore, I’m pretty happy about the size, can’t wait to harvest it! looks healthy

The flipping of the light is very exciting week 11 is looking amazing. Let the budding begin!!!

Day 35 End of Week 5 Update: Had a bad week worrying about humidity. My dehumidifier broke so I was stuck until payday and humidity was out of control, night time into the the high 70's and mid 60s during the day. But despite that, thankfully there was no issues that came about like PM or funky mold or anything. New Dehumidifier is in and all is looking good Gorilla Cookies is definitely stretching out more than Strawberry G. The Strawberry Gorilla has more of a bushy tendency. I'm hoping she's just a late stretcher so we'll see 🤞 I started light defoliating and so far so good. I don't take out much and with the little I have trimmed there has been no sign of growth pause or stunting at all, they seem to be going strong so far. Happy Growing y'all!

Pheno #7 and #4 showed the most desired traits and will be running both indoors iagain the coming weeks under better conditions. I didnt get as much photo's as promised but things have been hectic on all fronts, but I will do better next time ;) Its a pitty we had some issues and not all phenos where in a position to show the true potentail. There for we are running the 5 with re-running outdoors this season. Along with some new beans :D

The Ladys are now in their last week and only going to be flushed without nutrients till harvest

All good at the end i topped them and made cuttlings from it that do well now the canopy is nice and even Most hickups with the FG system are gone and next week we go to 12:12😁

The beginning of the week started badly. Spots on the lower leaves! I received great feedback from this website right away then a couple of days later from my grow shop. Question was, was it nute burn or under feeding. Either way, a lot of water was the answer. I believe it was under watering! Once the girls recovered, I continued with more frequent, higher volumes of watering with Kalong Grow added at half dosage. Throughout the week, I continued to tie the plants down in the 3, 6, 9 & 12 o'clock positions. Changing the position every second day. Additionally, I moved the girls position within the cupboard in a clockwise rotation every day. (Couldn't hurt so why not) The fat bananas are ranging in height from 13-19cms and by Wednesday had obvious flower sites. The northern light has no flower sites and is only 11cms tall. It's also extremely dense with even, consistent foliage. I stopped LST as it seemed ineffective/impractical. By the end of the week the 'spot' issue was completely resolved. On 27th I used a PH testing kit on the bottled water I had been using. Turns out it's overly alkaline. The tap water was 6.2 so I switched to tap water. I realise the chlorine etc is not good and have ordered a water filter to remove chlorine, lead, etc, etc. I feel flowering is going to happen within 10 days or so...

12/28 - Day 43 / Day 15 Flower - Feed Day Pots were mostly dry on this day. It has been about a week since I last fed them. I've only had two small waterings since last feed, about a half gallon of water for each of my 5 gallons and about 8oz of water for my bonsais. My plants are drying out within about 48 hours of each small watering. For today's feeding I decided to pull Grow Big out of the solution and focus exclusively on bloom nutes. My solution consisted of: - 1 gallon distilled water - 4ml CalMag - 2 tsp of FF Big Bloom (2/3 dose) - 1 tsp of FF Tiger Bloom (1/2 dose) - pH: 6.7 - TDS: 582 - EC: 1.2 The pH of my solution was down around 5.3 when first mixed so I pH'd up with baking soda to get to a final pH of 6.7. I gave each of my 5 gallons about a half gallon of the fertigated water each which wasn't enough to produce runoff. I gave them each about another 1/4 gallon distilled water to generate enough runoff to test. I tested the runoff of my Z52 which gave me readings of: - pH: 6.4 -TDS: 1620 -EC: 3.3 I gave about 12oz of fertigated water to each of my bonsais. My ZB2 runoff posted readings of: - pH: 6.8 - TDS: 718 - EC: 1.5 **************************************************** 12/30 - Day 45 / Day 17 Flower Pots were close to dry so gave each of the girls a light watering. Gave about 1/4 gallon of de-chlorinated, pH'd water to each of the 5 gallons and 6oz to the bonsais. Everything looking good aside from the fact that my girls are getting too tall for my tent. I've ratcheted my lights up as far as they'll go but the tops are now starting to get within 12". May need to take action to lower the canopy. **************************************************** 1/1 - Day 47 / Day 19 Flower Happy New Year! Pots were getting pretty dry again so provided another light watering with no nutes. **************************************************** 1/2 - Day 48 / Day 20 Flower I am officially concerned with the the distance between the tops and my lights. After reading a few forums to see what other growers have done in my situation, the consensus feedback is to do some supercropping. I ended up supercropping both of the main stems on my 5 gallon pots. I counted three nodes from the top, massaged the stem a little bit where I planned to bend and and then bent each branch to almost 90 degrees. Luckily, the stems didn't snap or show any signs of breakage. Had to remove the shelf in what should be a second compartment of my tent and attempted to do a little LST to widen my plants and lower their canopy.

Day 42, start of flowering week 3: they are growing nicely, had to do a lot of defoliation on each plant, except the one in the 3L pot. Day 43, I started to discover that the roots are coming out aggressively from the bottom of the pot. I did not move the ones in the back, but I guess same thing. The one in the 3L pot doesn't have this problem. Day 45: getting really excited for these guys! I'm trying to keep the temp and humidity low, and I hope I can achieve some of the purple color :P any advice on that? day46: defoliaton

She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize growth before flowering and to prevent (hopefully) them going hermie on me, which both Gorillas and Orange Hill Special are prone to. I have made a video to thank them for letting me use their SP-3000. What a beast of a light!! Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for letting me test this awesome light! I have made a new layer of topsoil made of organic coco-peat, which should help me prevent more fungus gnats. They already seem to hate it and are wandering around in agony trying to dig in... Good for them, freeloading beastards. Now we go to flowering coming weeks, and I can't wait... Thanks for checking in and the likes and support!

WEEK 9A This week, not much really happened. I'm always waiting to have enough space for repotting. Other than that, the two are making a very good impression. They're getting a bit too much light at the moment, but I'm trying to keep it under control.

08/06/2021 (F DAY 11) Comenzando la segunda semana de 12/12 el alargamiento ya se puede observar, como siempre las pomelo tienden a estirarse mas y tiene una estructura muy poco ramificada! digna de una buena sativa. Las Sweet Cheese vienen creciendo a pasos agigantados! Todas las plantas ya mostraron sus sexos y están listas para su flora. 10/06/2021 (F DAY 13) Se incorporan 180W de Citizen mas, quedando en 360W totales! Las plantas ya comienzan a estirarse y a mostrar más pelos!

been feeding pretty heavily, flipping in a week or 2. hardest plants i’ve grown so far

By end of week was watering every other day with about 300 ml/plant and adjusting PH to between 6.0-7.0. Turned on the SF-1000 QB this week.

🌿 Wochenkommentar Beide Pflanzen sind in der vergangenen Woche weiterhin sehr gleichmäßig gewachsen und stehen nun bei ca. 112 cm 🌱📏. Trotz der eher kühlen und regnerischen Wetterphase wirken beide insgesamt vital und stabil 💪🌿. Das Wachstum war unter diesen Bedingungen etwas verlangsamt, jedoch ohne erkennbare Stressanzeichen. Der starke Wind heute 🌬️ macht die Bambusstäbe als Stütze besonders wichtig, da die Pflanzen inzwischen eine gewisse Höhe und Masse erreicht haben. Die mechanische Unterstützung ist aktuell entscheidend, um Schäden am Haupttrieb zu vermeiden. Sobald die Erde nach den anhaltenden Regenfällen wieder ausreichend abgetrocknet ist ☔➡️🌤️, folgt die nächste Bewässerung mit Brennnessel–Ackerschachtelhalm-Ferment in einer Dosierung von 10 ml/L 🌿. Damit soll die allgemeine Widerstandskraft der Pflanzen weiter unterstützt werden. Mit den nun wieder ansteigenden Temperaturen 🌡️ ist in der kommenden Woche mit einem deutlich aktiveren Wachstum zu rechnen 🚀🌱. ⸻ 🌿 Weekly Comment Both plants continued to grow very evenly over the past week and are now at approximately 112 cm 🌱📏. Despite the rather cool and rainy weather conditions, both plants appear healthy and stable overall 💪🌿. Growth was slightly slowed under these conditions, but no signs of stress are visible. Today’s strong wind 🌬️ makes the bamboo stakes especially important, as the plants have reached a significant height and biomass. Structural support is currently essential to prevent any damage to the main shoot. Once the soil has dried sufficiently after the prolonged rainfall ☔➡️🌤️, the next irrigation will include a nettle and horsetail ferment at a dosage of 10 ml/L 🌿. This is intended to further strengthen the overall resilience of the plants. With temperatures now rising again 🌡️, a noticeably more vigorous growth phase is expected over the coming week 🚀🌱.

Here we are entering week 5 of flower. Steady growth, the buds are starting to gain some good weight. The leaves looking nice and green with some nice frost
