Hey Friends, end of week 11 from seed ☺️ Not much has changed this week in the growth of plant #2. I noticed some orange on the leaf tips. This can be due to overfeeding nutrients or because I recently ran into a problem with my Ph meter, it broke so I had to purchase one at a local Hydroponics store, different model so it was giving me different readings. For example, after adding nutrients to the water, ph would read 4.5 - 5.0, with the old ph meter I would add 10 drops of ph up and it would rise to 6.0 - 6.2, with the new ph meter it goes down to 4.2 when adding nutrients and I need around 20-30 drops to bring the ph up to 6.0 +. The old ph meter was less expensive I purchased it for $15, and the new ph meter cost me about $60. I guess the new one gives me the correct reading. The plant was used to the old feeding dosage now it just needs to adapt to the new feeding. Noticed some of the top leaves had curls so I lowered light intensity. An increase in red stems so ill keep lowering the light to avoid too much strees Colas are growing in width Smell is slowly getting stronger, not sure what strain it could be but it looks and smells like cookies and og. No amber trichomes yet, maybe there is some already but its not very noticeable yet QUESTIONS How long before flushing?

So welcome to Week 9 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow! Unfortunately after two years of due diligence- I was finally infected with Covid 19 so I have gotten really behind with this diary. In Week 7, I switched from the Grow to the Bloom fertilizer at a rate of 2.5 mls per gallon. I am still watering every 4th day at 3 litres per plant or 0.75 of a litre per day per plant. This strain seems particularly hungry/greedy so by the end of Week 7, I’ve decided to fertilize with every watering instead of every other. I’m not increasing the dosage of the fertilizer but the frequency in which it’s being given. Other than that the plants are doing fine through Weeks 7, 8 & 9 with the buds fattening up nicely, loads of wet to the touch resin and a super strong smell emanating from the tent even when it’s closed! That’s it for the past three weeks, Covid sucks and thank goodness harvest is just around the corner! Apologies for not offering up any further "mom’s tip of the week" but I’m just finishing up this diary for kicks at this point. Thanks.

Buenas familia, que volví y actualizamos la 6 semana de floración de las red cookies Gelato, estoy deseando empezar nuevos proyectos pero mientras están progresando muy bien esta variedad van madurando y engordando . Añadimos overdrive y PK y no sé si mirar nuevos nutrientes o seguir con estos, estoy abierto a ofertas 🤣. De los 9 ejemplares, solo uno tiene realizado un lavado de raíces, esta semana practicaré lavados a 6 ejemplares y la próxima semana lavaré los últimos 2 ejemplares que quedan que los apuraré en alimentación. Acordaros 5 ejemplares en 15 litros otros 4 en 7 litros, estoy deseando ver que hay en la báscula cuando esté todo seco . Os dejo unas fotos para que veáis cómo están de tricomadas, espero podáis apreciarlo todo al pelo. Buenos humos y feliz año a todos los rezagados que quedan de felicitar 🎁🎉💨💨💨

03/25/2021 Day#1 more pics later. More lite bending for shaping, looks good gave 2 liters of banana peel tea supposed to be good pk boost throughout flowering period till 2 weeks before harvest so we will see how it works I will be given her tea once a week till week 6 then plain water till chop!

Fun to grow and took to lst and supercropping very well. I am keeping a mother of the stinkiest pheno I got. I made some other seeds that I will be growing out after Jinxproof's pheno hunt. I will be doing a few grows coming up here and its going to be gnarly! Stay tuned in for modern genetics that have been tested and stabilized. These were bag seed from regular seed of LA confidential given to a friend that won them in a giveaway from DNA Genetics.

All is developing nicely, introduced cannazym and boost to the mix. Finally I have access to a better camera which you will see on the later pics. The cuttings I took seem to survive for now, with some outrooting their cubes already.

It smells of nothing but diesel n a very pungent Kush smell the berries nor mango scent hasn’t quite poked thru yet but it definitely smells of quality bud in the veg closet ha may need to upgrade my carbon filter. Gonna move these ladies at the end of the week. Thanks for tuning in!

Hello my beautiful friends 😇 😇 😇 After 3 weeks on grow period flowering stage is here 💪 💪 💪 Day- 22 The girls started to be very bushy, as they start showing first sign of flowering I go into the action and I proceed a small defoliation 🙌 Nothing big just to maintain a healthy growth and airflow 😇 😇 😇 Day- 23 Around two or three days ago I make a new tank of 10l... Nearly entire solution goes 😇 I have got heavy drinkers here 😂 😂 😂 All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 💪💪💪

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

WEEK 13 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS The Monster Maker has officially entered Week 9 of flower. The plant is in the middle of a perfect final "fade," with leaves turning deep purple and yellow as she exhausts her internal nutrient stores. Resin production is at its absolute peak—the buds are rock hard and completely over-wintered with milky trichomes. We are seeing the first few amber heads appearing, signaling that harvest is just around the corner. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The aroma remains incredibly potent. The dominant scent is a sweet, ripe tangerine, which is layered over a heavy, earthy, and slightly spicy base. It’s a very complex profile that has only become more refined during this final week. ​🌡️ ENVIRONMENT & VPD Conditions are being kept stable for the finish. Current readings show 24.8°C and 46% humidity, which keeps the VPD at a solid 1.65 kPa. This environment ensures the resin stays fresh and the dense buds remain safe from any moisture issues during the final days. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING The flush is in full swing! I started using only plain, pH-regulated water on Thursday (2nd April). She is reacting perfectly to the water-only diet, pushing out the last of her resin while cleaning out all residual nutrients for a superior taste and clean burn. ​Current Feeding: Pure Water Only (Flush in progress since April 2nd) ~~ Citric acid (1.2 ml/l) ~~ ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE Week 13 (Flower Week 9). We are watching a masterpiece finish. The trichome coverage is insane, and the fruity-meets-earthy scent is a dream. I am monitoring the amber count daily now. We are looking for that perfect window to chop within the next 7-10 days. The excitement is real!

Nothing much happened but she's looking good.

It's been a busy 2 weeks. Luckily i took pics and a video i just didn't have time to post so i'm going to do both weeks one after another. Great week for growth, started to see some bud sites. I did a bit of pruning and some more LST. More to get some light into the middle part of the plant than anything else. This plant is growing really well.

Lovely lovely girl looking healthy and already giving out the 1st few purple hues on the calyx and leafs

7/11/21 - Day 50! We are almost there! Started feeding it straight water until harvest. The nutrients have done their job and they look really good. 7/12/21 - Leaving for vacation and we have someone watering for us. I will try to update it daily while on vacation. They looks so good. Dense and fat nugs all over the place. 7/13/21 - Looking good! They are almost done. We can’t wait to harvest when we get back from vacation. 7/14/21 - Looking very good! Only a couple weeks before we chop them. 7/15/21 - Back from vacation and got to inspect the plants for myself. They are awesome! VERY dense and smell great. I can see it has another week or so left. I’m just giving it water until harvest. 7/16/21 - Almost time… We aren’t going to jump the gun. Conditions are perfect so we will be patient. (Two new videos added today). We are going to chop on day 60-63. 7/17/21 - We will be chopping in 6 days. They are on track. We are very excited. Check out all the pics and vids above!

🌸 Critical Orange Punch – Week 6 Flowering | Enter Overdrive Critical Orange Punch is now showing off its compact and resinous nature. The structure is becoming more solid, and the buds are starting to accumulate mass and sugars thanks to the initiation of the Overdrive phase in the Advanced Nutrients Master Recipe protocol. Irrigation management has been optimized with 3 watering cycles per day via drip kit, to keep the substrate constantly moist but never saturated. 🔆 Combined lighting: Phlizon FD9600 at 100% Mars Hydro ADlite 100W for undercanopy coverage 🌀 Evolving climate control: The Trotec TTK 33 E will be activated on Friday evening in automatic mode at set humidity, with continuous draining, to maintain ideal levels during the most critical hours. ➡️ No additional boosters beyond those in the table. Maximum fidelity to the AN recipe.

Got on top of the Cal/Mag looks lush now an gave them a nice defol for the last time, got to be my favourite strain grown so far... In week 5 of flowering, the buds all over becoming thicker.😁 some new buds growing in new places like along the main cola. With buds blooming, the plants will get fatter every day. This is a surefire sign they are in full flowering mode. Really starting to have a very intense odour🧐🤓 Some of the plants’ previous white pistil hairs are now turning darker into a brownish or amber colour. At the same time, and the trichomes on the beauties ohh there starting to become opaque. The trichomes becoming milky white and the hairs turning darker, ooh man I cant wait 🤤🤯💚

9/21: I harvested 2 more of the #4's, and my 3 hybrid autos last night. After washing them, I hung them to dry in a room with very little airflow and average temperature of around 78f-80f. The humidity has been pretty high, so hopefully they dry slowly. After 4 days of hanging to dry, I've been alternating the first #4 that I harvested between a brown paper bag and a 1 gallon jar every day to slow the drying process and will probably do the same with these 5 plants. 9/22: I fed the 4 x #2's, flushed the 4 x #10's, and watered the remaining 2 x #4's and the 2 x #3's with some liquid soil only. They're pretty much ripe and ready, but they'll have to wait another day or two until I have some time to spare. 9/23: I harvested the last 2 x #4's and one of the #3's today. Buds washed and hung to dry- 9/25: ...late night and early the 26th.. Harvested all 4 of the #10's and the last #3. Yowsa, those #10 buds are heavy and sticky! I moved the last 4 plants into my tiny tent..all the #2's. For their last week, they're gonna be about a foot underneath 360w of quantum boards in roughly 5 square feet of space (36" x 20"), which breaks down to about 72w/sq ft, so I'm venting my bigger CO2 bucket into the tiny tent for the next week.

Today (Mon. 17. June) she is 11 weeks old, and still barely showing any signs of aging. Some buds have more orange pistils, other less, but the majority of buds just grew a little bit fatter, without much visual difference otherwise. Maybe a bit more frosty. I think the flowers still look much to young, to start checking trichomes (please comment if you think otherwise), but lets see what happens till the end of the week. Her fragrance is more fruity now. Still not a very strong smell. Not that we need to worry about this too much in Germany anymore, but we also don't want to piss off the neighbors with pungant smell. But so far that is not really an issue.

Day 39 everything is going smooth😎 (added pk13/14 this week) to bad the Diesel dipped coockies ain't fattening up🙄 The buds are rock solid though, and she has a verry characteristic smell. Hope she catches up
