These have surprised me , not even a spot on them. Wall to wall now , maybe should have went with a total of 7 , but im not complaining . Few of these are already dripping in thc . The two largest ones were topped , I have done a defol on them , the smell is definitely there . I might need a filter in the next few weeks .

Day 130 – Harvest Day | Sweet Seeds – Gorilla Girl Today marks the official harvest of our Gorilla Girl by Sweet Seeds – exactly 130 days from seed. The plant finished strong, with dense, resin-covered buds and a very intense aroma that exploded in the final days. Based on her structure and the weight of the colas, we’re expecting a solid yield. Final Techniques: Last 2 weeks: Only clean, purified water (flush stage) Last 3 days: Complete darkness Twice during the dark period: Placed 2 kg of ice directly on the soil The effect was noticeable — right after the ice melted, the smell intensified dramatically, and the trichomes looked even more frosty and swollen. Throughout the entire grow, she was fed with the Xpert Nutrients line, and the results speak for themselves — healthy growth, strong structure, and top-quality flowers. Big thanks to Sweet Seeds for the outstanding genetics and to Xpert Nutrients for reliable support all the way from seed to harvest. Now we move on to drying and curing — can’t wait to share the final weight and smoke report soon!

One Plant did foxtails but its structures were really resistant. The other plants were resinous and made a pretty good yield. The buds are very consistent with both potency and flavour

Been on 12/12 for a week and I am seeing a little stretch and signs of preflower. I moved her to the back row corner to pair up similar sized plants for even lighting. Spread her branches out a little in hopes that a few more of the lower branches will fight their way to the top. I am excited about all of the girls but I have especially high hopes for this widow. Nutrients per gallon .5 tsp maxigro .25 tsp maxibloom .25 tsp armor si .5 tsp calimagic .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid Ph to 6.0 Pumping nutrients 24 hours

Week 5 almost in the books. Extreme growth rate! They all bounced back from over feeding really well. The LSD 25 is over 30 inches tall and purple as Harold’s purple Crayon. Almost all four finished week four at 30 inches. I expect to see them start stacking up in week 6!

Dia 126, 5a semana de floración se ven muy sanas y estan empezando a formarse los cogollos, la floración va un poco lenta, se puede ver la 1051 y la Chocolate Wafflez ya estan llenas de resina , la Glow Starz y la White Noise siguen generando cogollo, hemos visto algunas orugas que nos han sorprendido ya que no han habido lluvias todavia y las plantas estaban protegidas, pero supongo que las bajas temperaturas generan las orugas

This lady has been harvested today! I’ve been checking her trichomes all week as buds were looking plump and very dense. Up till 2 days ago there were no ambers at all, just all milky with a few clear/half clear. Almost overnight there are quite a few ambers, mostly on the main coal but there are a few on the other bud sites too. The last time I harvested this strain it gave no high, however, i harvested it with less amber than this lady has. Smells strong and it’s a fruity, gassy scent. Buds decent size/big and frosty! Decided to harvest in branches rather than the whole plant due to the density, I’d rather avoid mold as much as I can. Wet weight 247g for 1 plant. Can’t wait to see how this lady turns out after dry and cure! Will update in a few weeks

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ā™” 2ml Cal-Mag ā™” 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ā™” 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ā™” 2ml Biobizz Bloom ā™” 2ml Biobizz Top Max ā™” 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. šŸ™„ I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ā™” 60% Canna coco ā™” 20% Worm castings ā™” 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ā™” 10g Ecothrive Biosys ā™” 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ā™” 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ā™” 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ā™” 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ā™” 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ā™” 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary šŸƒ āœŒļø

Week 3 Update — Transplant & Early Veg Development Date: 11/12–11/17 Strain: Fast Diesel (IZI.Farm) Medium: Fox Farm Happy Frog + Gaia Green Amendments Light: Mammoth Nova Sun 950W Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Light & Environment Fixture: Mammoth Nova Sun Series 950W Settings: 50% total | 100% cool | 40% warm | 0% IR | 0% UV Previous PPFD: ~300 µmol/m²/s Light Adjustment (11/17): Lowered 6", increasing canopy PPFD to ~435 µmol/m²/s Temperature: 83°F Humidity: lowered to 65% RH Three phenos continue showing strong vegetative growth, while one runt remains smaller but healthy with no signs of stress or deficiency. A minor leaf-curling issue caused by airflow has been corrected. Considering relocating the driver outside the tent to help mitigate heat as the grow transitions toward flower. Transplant Details (11/12 — Day 21) All four plants were transplanted into 5-gallon pots. Soil Blend & Purpose Gaia Green 2-8-4: Supports root development and provides early phosphorus and potassium for the transition into flower. Gaia Green 4-4-4: Balanced nutrient source maintaining steady vegetative growth. Worm Castings (20%): Supplies organic nitrogen, microbial activity, and improved soil moisture retention. Glacial Rock Dust: Provides trace minerals and silica for stronger structure. Mykos: Mycorrhizae applied to the root ball to promote efficient nutrient uptake and early root expansion. Watering & Nutrient Breakdown Initial Watering (2 gal RO) ½ gallon per plant, pH 6.4 Silicium (1 ml)-Improves cell wall strength and plant stress resistance. Helps stabilize growth during and after transplant. CalMag (4 ml)-Replaces the calcium and magnesium absent in RO water and supports new growth development. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml)-Improves nutrient movement, chelation, and trace mineral uptake in the freshly amended soil. Pure Zym (8 ml)-Breaks down organic material and dead roots, converting them into available nutrients and keeping the rhizosphere clean. Rhyzium (2 ml)-Promotes rapid root establishment by adding beneficial microbes. Recharge (1 tsp)-Provides a strong microbial inoculation that enhances nutrient cycling and soil vitality. Feeding Log 11/15 — Light Microbial Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Continued cell-wall support. CalMag (2 ml): Maintains Ca/Mg levels during early veg. Ruby Fulvic (5 ml): Increases nutrient uptake efficiency. Pure Zym (4 ml): Supports enzymatic root-zone activity. Photosynthesis Plus (6 ml): Adds beneficial microbes that enhance carbon metabolism and overall plant vitality. This mild feed kept the microbial community active while roots colonized the pot. 11/17 — Early Veg Support Feed 2 gal RO (½ gal each) | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Helps support structural integrity as light intensity increases. CalMag (4 ml): Ensures steady Ca/Mg availability under higher PPFD conditions. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml): Maximizes micronutrient uptake and transport. Rhyzium (2 ml): Continues promoting root spread throughout the 5-gallon pots. Growth Notes & Plans All four plants have adjusted well to their new containers. Three phenos are vigorous; one remains a smaller but healthy runt. Increased PPFD from 300 to 435 has improved leaf posture, node spacing, and overall vegetative growth. Humidity reduced to 65% to match increasing canopy density and airflow needs. I tied down branches on 3 of the 4 plants on 11/20 to open their structure and prepare them for the upcoming stretch. The smallest pheno—the runt—was left untouched to continue growing vertically. It’s still healthy, just not meeting the overall standard of the garden. I’m giving it one more week to show improvement before deciding whether it stays in the run or gets culled. Flip Decision After monitoring growth, root establishment, and canopy development, the decision has been made to flip to flower on 11/26. This will give the plants enough time to fully settle into their 5-gallon pots while still maintaining a 4–5 week vegetative cycle.

Well she has definitely stopped growing now. I got a bit of light bleaching on a few tops unfortunately. Should have turned the light down to 80% but I wasn't thinking. Hopefully itll bounce back like my chempie by Ripper seeds I did a few grows back that got a bit of light bleaching also. It was just on one bud but I caught it and was able to correct it before crop. Going to add a bit of Revive to the feed next week to see if it'll help a bit. Also had a issue with high ppm in my run off that I was struggling with a bit that I've slowly corrected. Been a bit of a learning curve with the coco but I'm loving it. Great results all around. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.
