DAY 14 of flower🌼🌸 Feed compost tea n sst tea No bottles no nutes

Happy plant, soon ready 😁 Today she took a shower 10 liters Now i will give only water, don't forget to measure the ph 6,3 i can't wait 😋😋😋

No issues all week steady away I might have underwatered slightly this week partly because it's been so hot! Only noticed when I hand my hands in the media for a check. Had a nice rinse with some bioenhancer. Measured the plant at its highest point 30cm but its measuring at 60cm wide and its now just a waiting game till we achieve a little height. Still not defoliated anything at all yet but looking at it if I'm to keep an even ish canopy I might want to look at it. Tho it grows very strangely. It's like it will grow a little bit here and then the next day a little bit there so it's forever looking abit lobsided middle is due for its turn tomorrow tho. I've tried to control it by spinning the plant thinking it might be down to the air circulation but it appears it's not that.

Oh my goodness! I had a 12 hour harvest session and I am so burnt out x.x I might have a few weeks before I germinate again haha I had so dang much to harvest it was getting concerning. I had to use the trellis net in the tent. I have It nicely controlled using the exhaust fan and the humidifier to keep it between 0.7-0.9 kPa I also have two Ac units running to fight the summer heat and keep it as cold as possible! Those were the fattest and most prime buds. The B-grade heads were thrown in a paper bag amd into the fridge for an old school lotus inspired dry. And finally everything lower down that wasn't an apex bud and also the apex buds that were small were put into 8 Ziplock bags and thrown in the freezer. Fresh frozen bubble hash is in my future! I still need to aquire a rainbarrel spigot and two food grade buckets but I've got most everything else. The B grade buds will be either given away or made into more bubble hash because i am estimating about a pound of top-shelf flower and a pound for everything else. I've always disliked the hanging net drying racks but maybe I'll look into for the B-grade heads next time. This has been the longest cycle I have ever done and geez it's probably the biggest. I really hope it's the most enjoyable smoke! I'm locked in on the drying/curing process hoping to finally get something that can beat the dispenserary stuff. I am so excited! My next cycle plan is to do a rotating perpetual harvest every 3 weeks in the four 40 gallon containers using the last of my Strawberry gorilla and Gorilla Cookies from FastBuds. These plants and genetics far surpassed my expectations so far, I'll be back to update soon and I'll get a weight from each of the Top and Mid buds as well as the bubble hash yield. The bubble hash will be using Bubblebagdude 5 gallon zippered mesh bag, their 5 pack of 20-220 micron and some hand style agitation. It will be my first try! Thanks for reading, and please take care of yourself! No one can take care of you, like you can take care of yourself.

Week 8

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Flies lots of flies smh 🤦‍♂️🏾 Heat wave in NY but my temps didn’t go up to much

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Weiter geht's im Vergleichsgrow! Bio Tabs NL. vs. Weedefix (Stuttgart/ Germany) Hier im Bio Tabs NL Grow haben wir nun nach Tag 35 des Einpflanzens eine Höhe von 53 cm Erreicht. Die Triebe bilden sich schön und akkurat aus. Die Blattfarbe ist im Bio Tabs Grow mit einem tieferen etwas dunkleren Grün zu beobachten, im Wuchsverhalten lässt sich ein etwas moderater es Wachstum beobachten. Weniger Buschig mit schlankeren Seitentrieben. Leider ist mir ein Seitentrieb abgebrochen, daher habe ich der Fairness wegen, bei der anderen Pflanze auch einen Seitentrieb an der gleichen Stelle entfernt. Diese Woche, habe ich mit Wasser und 5ml Orgatrex (Melasse mit Pflanzenextrakten) gegossen. Und es zeichnet sich ein immer stärker werdendes Aroma ab. An nächster Woche, wird es Zeit die Pflanzen in die Blüte zu schicken. Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind Top! ————— 🌞 Temp: 21 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,75 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm —————

Week 11: Final Countdown Light Mold Issues: Despite careful management, I encountered some light mold issues on both plants. Fortunately, I discovered the mold spots early and was able to remove them without significant losses. This underscores the importance of vigilance during these final weeks. Tangie: Tangie’s buds continue to swell and mature beautifully. The aroma of fresh orange peels is more pronounced, and the smell is fantastic. While not as frosty with resin as Gorilla Cookies, Tangie makes up for it with her delightful scent. Currently, about 20% of the trichomes are still clear, with the rest turning cloudy. I'm aiming for all cloudy and very few amber trichomes to achieve an uplifting effect. Tangie will receive one more feeding with Finalpart before starting the flushing process. Gorilla Cookies: For Gorilla Cookies, I plan to feed her with Finalpart only one more time, and then it’s flushing time. The trichomes are mostly cloudy, with no amber trichomes yet. Unlike Tangie, Gorilla Cookies is covered in resin, with a strong skunky aroma that intensifies daily. Pest Management and Plant Health: The sticky traps have been effective in keeping thrips at bay, and there have been no new issues with aphids. Overall, both plants appear healthy and vibrant, showing no signs of stress as they approach harvest. Environmental Conditions: The weather remains hot but humid. While the plants are receiving less light on the balcony compared to the garden, this hasn’t significantly affected the ripening process. Having them on the balcony makes it much easier to monitor them daily, reducing the risk of mildew and significant losses. Final Thoughts: As harvest time approaches, I'm excited for the final results. Everything is prepared for harvest, and the weather will stay perfect for the last few days. I plan to give the plants as much time as needed to reach their full potential. Update 08.08 During my morning inspection, I found mildew on both plants. For the Gorilla Cookies, I had to remove some larger mold spots inside the buds. I carefully disassembled parts of the plant to ensure I didn’t miss any mold and ultimately decided to harvest it. Although I couldn’t let it fully ripen as planned, the trichomes were about 90% cloudy and 10% clear. That most be good enough. For Tangie, the compact and bushy growth led to some mold issues. I took the largest colas off and gave them a thorough inspection to make sure no mold was left behind. So far, I've harvested about 70% of the plant. Since most of the pistils on the remaining parts are still white, I'm giving them a bit more time to mature. I'll keep feeding with Finalpart at a slightly lower dosage and see if we can squeeze out a bit more potential from these final buds! Update 12.08: Final Countdown We’re almost there! Most of the trichomes are now cloudy, with a few amber ones starting to show up on the top buds—signaling that she’s nearly ready for harvest. Today, I gave her the final dose of Finalpart. I’m convinced that Finalpart has made a significant impact, boosting resin production and speeding up the ripening process. The buds are looking absolutely fantastic. Once the coco dries out, I’ll give her a thorough flush to eliminate any remaining minerals from the grow medium. I’m optimistic that this will further enhance the aroma and flavor, making the final product even more exceptional. Growers love to all of you ♥️ May you all have good times growing Ganja and nice harvests.

The Bruce Banner girls had a strong week! 💪 #1 is still the biggest plant in the tent and looks super happy. She handled the LST perfectly and keeps stretching nicely 🔥. #2 is catching up and growing more balanced now. #3 has finally found her rhythm and started growing normally 🙌. Both #2 and #3 are now showing their first pistils, so they’ve officially entered the flowering stage 🌸. This week all three received a watering with Green House Bio Enhancer, and aside from that, just RO water + CalMag (Advanced Nutrients) 💧. No issues or signs of deficiency, leaves are lush green and healthy across the board 🌿. They’re growing in the 90×90 tent with the AC Infinity AI setup and Spider Farmer SE5000, keeping everything dialed in: 25–26 °C, 60 % RH, and around 500–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD 🌡️. Overall, #1 remains the queen of the tent 👑, while #2 and #3 are catching up as they ease into early flower. Excited to see them start stacking buds soon! ✨

Vamos avanzando 👍👨‍🌾🏻

Week 5 of flower Main plant had to be strung up, she toppled under the weight Everything seems fine,so far Both plants have a lot of buds Another 3 weeks to go Stay Safe everyone!

Everything is going well, due to running out of time, I didn’t post the last week, the girls are getting fat and with a lot of resin. I think another 2 to 3 weeks would be ready or some plans will be ready.

The weather is getting cooler with average temperatures in the upper 60fs. Looking at trichomes, I see lots of milky trichomes but not many amber. So end of the month. I did brew a "tea" using my pre brewed teas chamomile, hibiscus*, detox blend, etc and some oats. * also some new hibiscus which provides potassium and the oats add phosphorus. @yan402. This close to harvest, I hope I didn't mess up 😒the grow with this 10/15 feed. 10/16 so I decided to take off the big fan leaVes of the outside girls. I started trimming yhe leVes off with scissors but they got so sticky the blades wouldn't open so I used my fingernails to pinch them off. My fingers were stuck together by the time I was done. And the smell wow citrus an d spicy. Rambo out with me, Eating nip and scratching chin on aloe. What a life! Night temperatures have dropped onto the 40s . I've noticed Runtz is getting purple in the leaves and buds. And Frosty ✨️✨️. WOW 10/20 is 99 days from popping soil

2 days til harvest am I’m excited guys

Was an easy grow. Hardly any leaf removal. Almost all fan leaves have abundant trichomes! Wonderful berry/Wintergreen aroma!
