🌱 Weekly Report: Week 16 Flower – Gorilla Melon Highlights 🌱 Room Dynamics and Challenges This week marked a pivotal phase as we approached harvest. The decision to harvest Gorilla Melon in two stages allowed us to navigate a potential mold issue effectively. The mold was confined to select areas of dense colas, which were promptly removed to protect the rest of the plant. This experience reinforces the importance of keen observation, especially in the final weeks. Environmental Parameters • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 53.2% • VPD: 1.57 kPa • CO₂ Levels: 1067 ppm • PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s • Solution Stats: pH 6.67 | TDS 695 ppm | Temp 18.3°C The ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster systems shone during this critical period, maintaining precise control over the environment. The addition of deep red and UV light at 100%, with whites at 50%, seemed to amplify trichome production, resulting in a frosty finish across the garden. Highlights of the Week • Fading Colors: The garden displayed a stunning spectrum of fading hues, signaling the end of the cycle. Gorilla Melon’s red highlights and frost stood out beautifully. • Defoliation Success: The earlier defoliation efforts paid off, minimizing mold spread and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. • Trichome Inspection: The frost level across Gorilla Melon was nothing short of mesmerizing, a testament to her genetics and the controlled environment. Gratitude and Community A heartfelt thank you to the community for your support and engagement. The sponsors—ThinkGrow LED, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, and ProMix Soil—made this run possible. It’s been a pleasure to share this journey with you all. What’s Next? With Gorilla Melon harvested, the spotlight now shifts to the other girls in the garden. Stay tuned for their individual harvest reports, smoke reviews, and more as we wrap up this epic series!

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Vegetative Woche 3: Tag 29 gab es das erste LST nach dem Umtopfen für die Ladys, damit sie das Zelt bald schön ausfüllen zu viert 😊 Hierfür einfach bodenhaken für die Triebe und am Hauptstamm nutze ich gerne die roten Clips. Tag 30+31 gab es nichts besonderes zu tun 😊 Tag 32 wurde das erste Mal gegossen nach dem Umtopfen mit 2l ph 6.2 Wasser mit 0,8g/l Enhancer, das Wasser habe ich zum ersten Mal mit meiner neuen Akkugießlanze verteilt und ich hoffe so noch gleichmäßiger gießen zu können 😊 Tag 33 wurden wieder mit LST gearbeitet und die Triebe mit den Bodenhaken weiter nach außen gebogen, damit ich möglichst bald ein relativ gleichmäßiges Blätterdach habe welches die gesamte Grundfläche des Zeltes ausfüllt. Tag 34 war wieder Ruhetag Tag 35 wurde wieder gegossen und zwar wieder mit 2l pro Pflanze mit ph Wert von 6.2 und 1ml/l Calmag und auch hier wurde zum Gießen di Akkulanze verwendet. Und so endet Woche 3 der Veg

- Day 50 The stretch seems to be slowing down a bit now, also seems like she is drinking just a bit less now, so hopefully we see those buds develop nicely from now on. Day 51 Renewed the reservoir today. Starting to get difficult with how big the roots have gotten 😅. I reduced the amount of T.A. tri-part I'm giving as I'm starting to add Big Bud from Advanced Nutrients from now on for the next 2-3 weeks. Day 52 pH got up to 6.4, I Added 1.5 liters of pH 5.5 water, which brought it the pH down to 6.2. Starting to see the bottom fan leaves slowly yellowing as she is using up all those stored nutrients to build the flowers. Day 53 I've noticed the nutrient burn on the leaf tips have gotten a bit worse. I've decided to fill the reservoir with just plain 6.0 pH water for a day to flush out the overload of nutes and will give a lighter mix again tomorrow. Day 54 After having given her just plain water yesterday I've given her a new reservoir with a lighter nutrient mix. Hopefully this will help with the nutrient burn. Day 55 Topped up the reservoir again with 1.5L pH 6.1 water. Seems like the nutrient burn is stable for now. Day 56 I noticed some brown spots on a few leaves on top, I figure they look like calmag deficiency due to the light being to strong. Noticed I was giving 50+ DLI so I reduced light intensity to 45 DLI, see if it stops the spots from spreading. Had to fill up the reservoir again with 1.4L. pH'd water to 6.3 as the water in the reservoir got down to 5.7, which brought it back up to 6.0.

Interesting grow I thought. Is it worth adding a co2 emitter in an open house or is it a waist. Mind u there r 3 people and 2 dogs when the house is full

So this has been a better week, as you can see they have gained alot of height. The internodes are closer and tighter now that I adjusted the light. Stalk is thick but they are still a bit filmsy I think the calmag is doing the job, along with giving bloom nutes. It's pretty sad how bare they are, but I think that was my fault having the light too far away in the beginning. Only a few more weeks until these girls should be done! Hoping mostly to gain the knowledge from this grow, I don't think i'll be doing autos again, as I love the veg stage. Hope everyone has a great week!👽 FEB10 update + video

Holy fucking shit these things are so damn crazy never seen a faster growing plant in my life and the hy-pro nutrients are a perfect match 17.5 cm difference with last week never before i have seen such an explosive growth second week of flowering and the fist signs of the buds are showing very curious about the difference we are going to see next week Cheers, Nibameca

It has been very difficult keeping the temperatures down due to the hot summer weather. It has been over 90 degrees 3 weeks in a row here and I'm running lights during the day... bad combination. These plants haven't slowed down though...

All three plants are forming an even canopy (the youngest one is on a 10 cm stand). The bottom leaves have been lightly removed, and the bloom phase is planned in about a week.

The plant has entered the strech period and is growing at quite a pace. I continue with LST to try and open the plant up, removing leaves that are blocking light from flowering sites. I've added some Canna PK13/14 to the feed ready for when the flowers start to bulk up.

In dieser Woche wurde die Pflanze nicht mehr besprüht und die Luftfeuchtigkeit ein wenig gesenkt 💦 Die RP43 ist in dieser Woche sehr gut gewachsen , deshalb wurde die Dünger Gabe erhöht . In der ersten Woche war es ca. die Hälfte ☘️🌱 Ich denke sie wird noch 1 -1 1/2 Wochen in der Veggi sein bevor ich das Licht umstelle 💡

Ok, so photos are finally in flower, autos will have to do with 12/12 till finish. A batch of 15 more photos is brewing outside the main door, all primo. Plan is to veg em out there for 4 weeks and then in the flower room. Will fill in missing spots with more autos and then a late auto run as batch 2 of photos finishes. Will get my 7 lbs or so @peakyplanters - slide in my dms
