After dropping my plant last week I thought it was done for. But the new light really seemed to make all the difference for her. Having her in the tent is good because I can control the humidity a little better. But to be honest I'm doing a crap job at it ... Humidity can be anywhere between 50 and 80%. When I went to work on Tuesday the plant jumped up. Amazing how much growth in just a few hours. I was thinking about whether I should top her or not. I don't think I will though because she seems like a nice sturdy little plant At the end of the week I decided she really needed to be repotted.. I thought I was pushing it going early but I got a new light in and was planning to take her off the shelf and move her to the floor so it seemed a good time. Turned out to be a good choice. She's lovely

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

Der Start in Woche 8 ist regnerisch und bewölkt bei kühlen Temperaturen und hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit 😳 The start of week 8 is rainy and cloudy with cool temperatures and high humidity 😳 Day 62 "Haircut" for "Hilde" 😏😉

Diese Woche 2 Bewässerungen wie sonst auch die trinken wie verrückt und sind schön gesund mit dem 2,0 ec

Yum yum here they come

She put on so much weight the last week, i gave her ripen for 10 days now. So its time to start with pure rainwater, i didnt fluh the plant so she can still take up whats left in the medium, just rainwater from here i spot a few ambers on the top colas also a bit foxtailing on some because of the light intensity they got a bit too close. The light got also dimmed during this week from 480watts to 370. The trichomes i cant spot too good because the scope is x60 its such a pain to look good. I think in another week she will be ready, so with no more nutrients just rainwater untill runoff every day, she drinks a lot still like 2.5liters per day, the humidity is between 56-66% when the lights are on, with lights off it goes in the 70’s so i let the dehumidifier on the first 4 hours after lights go off, why only 4 hours u might ask? Because its summer and with the dehumidifier on its goes up to 30celcius Thanks for stopping by U can always leave a comment how u control your humidity because for me this is insanly hard to figure out its almost always in the 70’s

8ème semaine pour ses dames,flush des racines.

So far everything went quite well, but at the end of the week she showed a magnesium deficit, which I can't really explain, as I pay extreme attention to these values. She was defoliated and continues to develop well despite the deficiency.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

🗓️ Days 50-56 - Ten days until harvest --> 66root project - 2 GSC, are the only 2 plants that not gonna make it for sure but the structure is great. - 4 Cream mand, Coming next. Big yielders but amateur, hoping to taste it. - 4 Jack 47, looking and smelling unique. Dwarf structure all of them, average yield. - 3 Crystal meth, looking mature already, the fastest strain in the tent (and after topping), good yield too. - 3 fast berry, too sensitive to nitrogen, small yield but the smell is phenomenal. - 2 Gorillas, different structure, looking on time, average yield, not something special until now. - Super defol to all the plants. - Starting flawless finish at the end of the week, until then we reduced nuts to 800 ppm from 1450.

6/22 looking good after I tried to spread her out more. She responded well 6/26 sexy ass plant

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!!
