Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

I DID A PREVENTATIVE SPRAY OF BT THIS WEEK BUT I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH DAY. I THINK I MIXED AT 3 OR 4 TBSP GALLON WITH SOME DAWN. BONIDE BRAND THURACIDE. 8/30 Fed two gallons to the garden. Watered before and after the feed. Defoliated what was dead. Its scary seeing so many leaves go but energy is shifted to the buds. Buds are ripening but on one mislabeled mystery seed and the wedding cake they look far behind the rest. Wondering how they could possibly finish in the 6 to 8 weeks I have left. If needed I MAY be able to put something in the garage at night. I'd have to RIP the bag out of the ground though which wouldn't be good. I mean some of the plants are pushing ten feet but we use it for heavy equipment. So foggy this morning. Horrible weather. Still fighting PM, possible lockout and ear wigs. We will see how it goes. I'll continue weekly treatment for the pm and I'll find something for the earwigs. I'm hesitant to use the Spinosid in flower. 8/31 Rained last night. Surprise, surprise. Talked to a few other growers and consulted my last year's diary. I had a couple early pheno's last year but things seem on schedule. It's amazing the amount of growth that can happen in a day. Even my ice cream cake has small flowers. Time is running short. Probably six to eight weeks max growing time left. I hope everything finished up nicely. I need to continue monitoring PM and pests. Considering spraying preventative BT tonight. Yesterday I saw the biggest pile of powder mildew and leaf septoria on a tree an hour from my grow. It literally looked like snow flakes on leaves then someone dumped a bag of flour on it. This gives me some perspective and gratitude that the TINY spots I'm treating could be much worse. Weekly treatments until harvest. Hopefully BT or diy green cleaner tonight for earwigs and worms (if they are there). 9/1 Watered thoroughly. Leaves still yellowing. I hope it's senescence. Still need to continue treatments with BT and potassium bicarbonate. Sunny day but rain tonight. Need to add more supports for heavy branches. Will update as I go. 9/2 Rained all night and it's still raining. I'll update when the rain stops. Went back over and added a couple higher supports and defoliated a shit ton. Spent two hours in the garden last night. Too tired for pictures. 9/3 Fed two gallons to the garden and upped Kool bloom to a full tablespoon. I'm thinking about using beastie bloom then cha ching as I have them both. I'm a little hesitant. Wondering what others thoughts are on those products. I plan to spray either tonight or tomorrow with another helping of potassium bicarbonate to help with the WPM. To be honest it seems to work great. I just don't want to go overboard. I wish you guys could smell the pictures. Shits getting fun now. 9/4 Had a torrential rain storm with massive wind. No damage. Buds are getting huge. Had to add a few more supports this morning as branches were hanging. If I had room I'd do a second vertical trellis. Unfortunately I do not. I AM able to run string across the cage though which really helps things higher up. I need to put some pictures of my stalks. Legit bigger than soda cans. I wish you guys could smell my pictures. Re-checked all cameras and everything is working good. On high alert. I'd be very surprised if anyone even attempted to rob me but you never know. That's why it's 24/7 supervision until Croptober. 9/5 Lots of sun yesterday but if course it rained last night. Buds are progressing at a rapid rate. Leaves seem to be dropping to soon on the blueberries. I need to do another potassium bicarbonate treatment tonight. Branches are really getting heavy. I'm hoping all this rain doesn't cause bud rot but so far so good.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT IM BACK FOR GOOD! WEEK: 2 of flower Let me start by saying this run has been so smooth after getting everything locked down and making sure I have no fluctuations in temperature, PH levels, and humidity. I am watering a half gallon of ph’d water with perfect amounts of Advanced Nutrients daily . The plants are healthier than I have ever seen bright green leaves and growing non stop with strong roots and stems, Two of the PHENOS are outgrowing all the other plants growing to be taller than 5 feet for example I am 5 foot 10 and the plant’s are to my forehead!!... each plant has at least 150 watts of full spectrum led with side light from the neighboring LEDs . Being 5 days in to week 2 the buds are Already starting to form ,I can see a HUUUUGEEE difference with the “BIG BUD” Advanced nutes almost 50% faster and bigger growth on this run ! I can’t wait to see the flower produced by these beauties; if they are anything close to my last run I know they’re going to be gorgeous. Mother & 3 clones: The plants on the far Left consist of my washing machine mother , a huge blueberry clone , a kosher Kush clone, and another itty bitty washing machine clone. I wanted to see out of the 3 strains which one would be the strongest and outgrow the other plants, clearly the blueberry from Seedsman outdid both of the others . THESE PLANTS STARTED THEIR FLOWERING FASE ALMOST 2 weeks prior to the Wet Betty’s. CATCH ME NEXT WEEK!!

According to FastBuds schedule the end is near and I can see it on the yellowing fan leaves, also the smell gets more intense. There is still quite a lot white pistils on the buds, given the fact she is a CBD strain my goal is to see more amber coloured trichomes, so I want to keep her alive as long as possible.

They are still seedlings so there’s not much we’re doing except for keeping them moist and making sure everything’s OK as far as the VPD’s humidity and temperatures.

Cruise control.

Smoothe sailing

Pistels start to turn brown finally i think 2 weeks left maybe 3 I had to tie the branches to the tent bars because she cant hold her weight anymore

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. This soil has nutrients premixed into it. I mixed 320ml Organic Coop Poop 2-4-3, 160ml Espoma blood meal 12-0-0, and 480ml Gaia glacial rock dust per 32 gallon pot. The above listed nutrients, with the exception of ferrous sulfate, will be dry amendments premixed per gallon of soil. On day 3 I top dressed with ferrous sulfate monohydrate at the rate of 2.5ml/gallon of soil as listen in nutrients section. I didn't fill these pots above halfway with soil in the case we had heavy consistent rain. Half a pot dries faster than a whole one. I will be filling these pots completely as soon as these get more height and the rain lessens. Day 1 we had heavy dew and it was mostly cloudy. Day 2 we had a heavy dew in the morning. That afternoon we had cooler temps and intermittent rain that continued overnight. Day 3 was overcast with thunderstorms and rain that evening and night. Day 4 we had a rain shower late morning, but the sun came out mid day. Day 5 early morning 2-3 a.m. we had very heavy thunderstorm. The rest of the day was sunny and cool. Day 6 forecast was 5% rain that became 100% thunderstorm. There was heavy rain and wind on day 6 for about a hour from 9.30 a.m to 10.30 a.m., then a second round later that afternoon. Day 7 turned out very good. Lots of sunshine and a light breeze that'll help dry out that soil a bit. These soaking wet conditions we experienced this week are something cannabis seedlings survive with difficulty. I've found fastbuds genetics withstands these conditions consistently where other brands have total failure. We had a very successful week considering all of the difficulty with the weather. Fastbuds genetics have consistently withstood the harsh outdoor environment here in the Ozarks. These girls are pushing two inches and are thriving.

I finally turned 600 watts on, would love to get comments from you folks, so clueless here. If you see something wrong, please let me know.

I visited her today!!!! Day 147!!! when I came I saw one broken branch, yesterday there was quite a strong wind, I think it's his fault :) but everything else looks good, just found 1 small ring of rot :), which allows me to leave it to grow for another week :) very beautiful girl :) there will be a renewal, good luck!!!!

Everything is going well. I slightly overfilled the fertilizers, I'm already correcting this point. The smell is very strong.🌱🍀🍀🍀🌱🌱🌱

Officially day 7 of this adventure! Added a couple more cfl 3 of 1,500 lumen 500k and 2 of 800 lumen 500k Plants are looking si happy and amazing had a little strech problem with a couole but j just added more soil for support and they all look pretty good now! Still have the stragler Chocolate Marshmallow but she looks great!

Backdating and

Coalas are now so fattened up they are toppling over. Not had this before so have just propped them up. Have trimmed a few leaves to get a bit more light in and some of the top leaves have started to die off so not long to go now. However, still no amber trichomes so patient I must be.

This plant is problematic. First of all, the Calcium deficiency is back whereas I feed her correctly and her siblings (GBK+OGK) don't suffer from this, so I assume she doesn't like the light as much as the other strains do, and she probably had too much light for the last weeks so I raised the plant-to-lamp distance, this should slow down her cal+mag consumption, let's see how this goes. Secondly, she stopped stretching, she will remain a short plant, and considering the number of colas on the manifold I built, things will become tricky. I'm already afraid of mold during late flowering, but I will keep a close eye on her and may remove some colas if she doesn't get enough air. Finally, she doesn't drink a lot. I'm a bit confused since I did proceeded to seedling selection and gave her good cares and much love. Wait and see, hopefully she will give some tasty frosty buds 😎 Thanks for stopping by!

A bit more progress this week.

Final product is been absolutely amazing on these clones - the jungle came out about average but the clones definitely exceeded expectations there absolute fire in comparison but still just as good hopefully I can just improve a few issues we had on this run and dial right in 100% will be so much better, next few run is going to be special I’ve got a few things lined up. From tester packs to breeders packs I can hunt from. So lots to choose from but what to keep to run will be interesting

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my with you as I see my Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds enter the first week of flowering. Let me tell you, this CBD strain has exceeded my expectations in every way! First off, can we talk about how big she's gotten? I'm amazed at the growth spurt during the vegetative stage. I've been bending the leaves gently to promote an even canopy and ensure that every bud site gets enough light. She's looking so healthy and vibrant, and it just fills my heart with joy. As for nutrient boosters, I've started incorporating some key products from Aptus Holland into my feeding regimen. I've added extra phosphorus (P) to support flower development, as well as a topbooster to enhance essential oil production. These supplements are designed to optimize plant health and yield, and I've already noticed a difference in the overall vigor of my Cosmos F1 since I started using them. Now, let's talk about the importance of the pre-flowering stage. This is a critical period in the cannabis life cycle, as it sets the stage for the upcoming flowering phase. During pre-flowering, the plant undergoes hormonal changes that trigger the transition from vegetative growth to flower production. It's crucial to provide the right conditions and nutrients during this stage to ensure a successful flowering phase. One of the main reasons why I started using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage is to help my Cosmos F1 build up the necessary resources for flower production. The extra phosphorus promotes strong bud development and enhances the plant's ability to produce flowers, while the topbooster stimulates that plus essential oil production, which contributes to the overall potency and aroma of the buds. Moreover, using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage can help prevent nutrient deficiencies and ensure that the plant has all the nutrients it needs for optimal growth. This is especially important during the transition to flowering, as the plant's nutrient requirements change, and deficiencies can negatively impact flower development and yield. In conclusion, the pre-flowering stage is a crucial time for cannabis plants, and using nutrient boosters like extra phosphorus and topbooster from Aptus Holland can greatly support your plant's health and development during this critical period. I'm absolutely loving the results I'm seeing in my Cosmos F1, and I can't wait to see her bloom into a beautiful CBD-rich harvest.
