Opium

Come ben mi aspettavo la Royal Gorilla sta facendo vedere adesso le sue potenzialità 🦍🔱e tra poco potrò fare un manifold anche a lei... La decisione tra lei e la Runtz per RQS Spring avverrà tra 2 settimane!!!

*Edit: dry weight and pic added 41.6g on the scales, plus a healthy 15g..... erm... product testing.... ahem! I''ll call it 2oz dry all in. I'm happy with that.* My second Purple haze auto from sensible seeds and again very happy with the plant. I have so many more strains to try, so I may never grow one again, but if I could only grow one strain again, from my short experience this girl would be the one for me. I could have harvested this girl a few weeks ago but I thought I would risk a few more weeks to see how her buds developed. I certainly made the right choice in doing so as these buds just got fatter and fatter. I trained her with a mixture of lst and the now traditional for me super cropping. I have had a shape her due to limited space in the grow cupboard to a more rectangular shape maximise the canopy size for the light. I have shown this in a video on my Bruce Banner #3 diary as Mrs B is being shaped. My biggest buds to date without a doubt. Hitting 200g wet with stems my fingers were aching holding the stems while trimming so they were very bud heavy. probably 50cm tall max from soil to top bud and a canopy space of around 60cm x 40cm available to her. Grown under 3 x £1 / €1 / $1 Standard shop bought LED bulbs (cool white and warm) around 10w each converted..... ...Sorry light companies... I think this a good yield and a proud growing moment personally. I do often say that I will update when I have a dry weight but I don't honestly think I have yet. I will still make the claim don't hold your breath..... *Added root pictures

143gr for the Larger pheno and 97 for the shorter, very respectable yield in total for 3 Wk Veg. Total 240gr even they each had 1.5’x1.5’ of space. Big yielder, buds are 10/10 & very easy to grow . Could be prone to mold in an uncontrolled environment.

Aug 2: Tropicana Cookies FF is three weeks younger than my two biggest plants (Sunday Punch EV and Mimosa Shot) and two weeks younger than Lemon Cream Kush. This is a very strong plant and is progressing very well. This wagon with LCK started force flowering a week later than the other wagon and will go another week longer. TC is now the tallest of the four plants despite being the youngest. Aug 5: now done force flowering after 2.5 weeks. Plants in this wagon are getting too big to easily get into garage. Continuing to use far red light as a bloom booster at dusk. Back to 15.5 h of daylight in the backyard now. Aug 7: now 51 inches so she’s had a quick vertical growth spurt. Looking very happy with leaves ‘praying’ upwards nicely.

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Just starting the 3rd week, I’m at 1/2 strength on the nutrients, will be changing water and nutrients every Saturday. Looking good. Roots coming thru. So far so good coming into second weekend of clean water and more food on Saturday. Really starting to get full. 8/18 Fresh water and nutrients today and both topped. Finishing out the 3rd week all topped and ready to bush out.

Day 67

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

My Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds is now in its third week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s progressing. She looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong branches. The stretch phase is nearly over, and she has developed a solid structure with a well-defined main cola.🌱 One of the most exciting changes this week is the first appearance of trichomes on the main bud. Under the light, they’re starting to sparkle, hinting at the resin production that’s about to take off. The buds are forming nicely, and I can already smell a faint but promising aroma developing. So far, she’s responding well to the nutrients and environment, with no signs of deficiencies or stress. If she keeps going at this pace, she’s going to be a real beast by harvest time.😊

Growing Nicely.... Starting to Show Sex Fimmed plants

Was a normal week nothing too special. Plants are looking abit frail so will be giving them some nutes. Couple abnormalities on a few leaves 🍃 😌 but will put that down to temp and genetics, we will see how they take to the feeding. Gonna turn up the light to give the plants more FOOD. Within the next few days I'm hoping to see more strength in the plants

Week 8, the last feed! Defoliated to let more air flow and light penetrate down into the lowers of the plant. Bud's are sticky, plant is covered in frost, the pics don't do it justice. For a small pot grow, she's not that far behind her big pot sister

Last straight before flushing this run was very pleasant and relatively easy I feasted on this session On these different tests I learned a lot about cars Among other things that the LST is essential and that the different apical or other sizes are to be avoided because their predefined life cycles do not allow them and this generates a loss in performance To return to my five damsels The northen light auto at @RQS was the fastest the first amber trichomes appeared at day 56 I did not expect taken from court I start rinsing The bubblegum from 00seeds still has not bloomed I plunged into the dark 20h .... The blueberry auto # 1 of pevseeds is simply gorgeous rugged and will surely give me a nice harvest it has suffered pinch of Apex and LST The gorilla glue from @fast_buds is not left smaller than the bonsai style but very well trimmed she suffered LST Apex pinch and size of the main apex ... Et en français Dernière ligne droite avant le rinçage ce run à étais très plaisant et relativement facile Je me suis régalé sur cette session Sur ces différents test j'ai beaucoup appris sur les autos Entre autre que le LST est primordial et que les différentes tailles apicale ou autre sont à proscrire car leur cycles de vie prédéfinie ne leur permettent pas et cela génère une perte au niveau du rendement Pour revenir à mes 5 demoiselles La northen light auto de chez @RQS à étais la plus rapide les premiers trichomes ambrés sont apparus au jour 56 je ne m'y attendais pas pris de cour je commence son rinçage La bubblegum de chez 00seeds n'a toujours pas fleuri je l'ai plongé dans le noir 20h .... La blueberry auto#1 de pevseeds est tout simplement magnifique robuste et va surrement m'offrir une belle récolte elle a subis pincage d'Apex et LST La gorilla glue de chez @fast_buds est pas en reste plus petite du style bonsaï mais très bien garnie elle a subis LST pincage d'Apex et taille de l'apex principal La blueberry auto#2 de @pevseeds Est pas mal mais on voit nettement que le main lining subis la stréssée et par l'occasion perdre de sons rendement final je souligne la robustesse de cette variété Merci à tous d'être passé pas ici Que la force soit avec vous !

4 Oz of dry bud ready to cure. The best harvest to day and with the best flavor / smell. Really want to keep growing other Ethos cultivars, if this quality is sustained will be growing Ethos every year! Been using the app more and hope to put here the next grow mainly. Will need to learn a way to use custom nutes on grow diaries, for now, Grow with Jane is amazing.

I know it is only two weeks but compared to other auto flower plants during this stage I'm starting to think that all three of my girls are stunted. I did have an issue during week 1. My light wasn't 18 inches as Mars Hydro indicated. I still had my lights height at 24inches.

08/23/2023 Starting week 2 flowering AK #1 is now 17" tall AK #2 is now 12.5" tall Bruce Banner is 16" tall All going well no more bug issues fed a little bit of nitrogen this week in the form of (901 C release) 1/4 strength trying to push some Carbon on her, no more Nitrogen will be used after week 2 of flowering, only P-K will be from Fox Farms Big Bloom 0-0.5-0.7 mixed with Bio-Remedy Hope that they have more stretch in them but time will tell. Either way flower are exploding all over her! Going to give them some Fresh Aloe Vera water, there loaded with Amino acids other good stuff. 08/27/2022 Not sure if auto flower goes through different flowering stages, if they do phase one is fleeting first flush of pistils fading and fresh ones popping up everywhere . Bruce Banner is a resin monster even some bigger leaves getting resin rails.

6/8: I had one of these seeds left and decided to see how it would do outdoors. She popped right up and has remained the fastest growing and largest plant in the garden! 7/2: I moved her outdoors after almost a month under 24/0 and sprayed her with Boom Boom spray. 7/4 - 7/9: Been dealing with a horde of ravenous grasshoppers all week, but only a little damage on this girl. I sprayed with pyrethrins, Bt-k, Spinosad, pyrethrins, dusted with diatomaceous earth and sevin dust... She's flowering now, so after a few days of that, I sprayed with microlife maximum blooms.

Die Pflanze hatte ordentlich durst und hat direkt 10 L bekommen, das sollte erstmal reichen. Zusätzlich wurde sie mit einer hohen Dosis Pflanzengeflüster (Harpin-Protein) besprüht, so früh in der Blüte ist das noch okay, das war aber insgesamt die letzte Anwendung davon. Einige untere Triebe und Blätter wurden entfernt, manche Triebe wurden via Super Cropping "neu positioniert", sodass das Zelt ordentlich ausgefüllt wird. In der Vegi hatte ich zu wenig Zeit um mich ordentlich um die Pflanze zu kümmern, daher musste das jetzt stattfinden. Hoffentlich ist das nicht zu viel Stress gewesen. Eingesprüht wurde die Pflanze mit 4 g / 1 L Pflanzengeflüster, bis sie Tropfnass war. Der Rest wurde auf andere Pflanzen verteilt. Der Drain in der Wanne bleibt und sollte bald aufgesaugt sein - die Färbung davon kommt von der Erde selbst.
