🇺🇸Grow Journal🇺🇸– Week 5 – Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) Week 5 Summary This week didn’t go as planned. I switched nutrients, and the plant didn’t respond well, possibly due to overfeeding. I probably should have transitioned more gradually to avoid stressing it. Nutrient Issue • Previously used: Formulex • New nutrient: Ionic Hydro Grow • Possible cause: Ionic Hydro Grow has a higher concentration of nutrients than Formulex. The sudden increase may have stressed the plant. • Symptoms: The new leaves are showing signs of damage, which could indicate nutrient burn. Typically, deficiencies affect older leaves first, so it seems more like an excess—but I can’t say for sure. Corrective Actions • Diluted the nutrient solution to lower the EC. • Initial EC: 2.6+ (but my tap water already has a high EC, so the actual nutrient EC is hard to determine). • New EC: Below 2, but again, since my starting EC is high (around 0.8-0.9), it’s difficult to get an exact reading of the nutrient contribution. • pH adjusted to 5.9-6.0. Current Conditions • Light schedule: 18 hours • Humidity: 70% • pH: 5.9-6.0 • EC: Below 2 (but actual nutrient EC remains uncertain). Next Steps • Observe the plant and see if it recovers. • Adjust the next nutrient mix carefully to avoid overfeeding. • Continue light training (LST), but growth has slowed due to stress. Hopefully, the plant will bounce back. I’ll reassess next week and adjust accordingly. 🇫🇷Journal de culture🇫🇷 – Semaine 5 – Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) Résumé de la semaine 5 Cette semaine ne s’est pas passée comme prévu. J’ai changé de nutriments et la plante a mal réagi, probablement à cause d’un surdosage. J’aurais sans doute dû faire une transition plus progressive pour éviter un stress trop brutal. Problème de nutriments • Nutriment précédent : Formulex • Nouveau nutriment : Ionic Hydro Grow • Cause probable : Le Ionic Hydro Grow est plus concentré que le Formulex. L’augmentation soudaine des apports a pu créer un stress. • Symptômes : Les nouvelles feuilles présentent des signes de brûlures ou de stress. Comme les carences touchent généralement d’abord les vieilles feuilles, il est possible que ce soit un excès. Mais je reste prudent sur cette analyse. Corrections apportées • Dilution de la solution nutritive pour faire baisser l’EC. • EC initiale : Supérieure à 2,6 (mais mon eau du robinet a déjà une EC élevée, ce qui fausse un peu la lecture de l’apport réel en nutriments). • Nouvelle EC : Inférieure à 2, mais encore une fois, avec une eau du robinet à 0,8-0,9 EC, il est difficile de déterminer précisément l’apport réel des nutriments. • pH ajusté à 5,9-6,0. Conditions actuelles • Cycle lumineux : 18 heures • Humidité : 70% • pH : 5,9-6,0 • EC : Inférieure à 2 (mais difficile à interpréter précisément). Prochaines étapes • Observer la plante pour voir comment elle évolue. • Ajuster la prochaine solution nutritive avec plus de prudence. • Continuer le palissage, même si la croissance a ralenti à cause du stress. J’espère que la plante va se remettre. Je referai un point la semaine prochaine pour voir comment elle réagit et ajuster en conséquence. 🤘😎

First off. I DO NOT USE TERRA AQUATICA NUTRIENTS. I USE FLORANOVA GROW AND FLORANOVA BLOOM Breakup Cake is still growing strong and healthy. Did a little defoliation on her, with more to come. She is a strong resistance plant. Tall and slim this one. Flowering time will happen soon. Once the the daylight hours hit 14 hours, these girls will start rockin. Thanks for the looks and likes my friends. Aug.14th Close inspection of the bakers product, this Breakup Cake is in full on flower. Button sized buds have formed in the last couple days. Not even at 14 hours light yet...Nice. Thanks @Kannabia. Early flowering girls are always welcome here.

This strain grew tall and lanky, with very compact and beautiful nugs. the frost that came out is quite incredible and the fruity sweet and piney smells coming off the plant are lovely. i would definitely grow this plant again, it was easily trainable and the node spacing allowed light to penetrate deep into the canopy, maximizing my grow surface area

Day 42 first day of the week I turned the Growers Choice ROI-720 up to 30% its using 216w at 240v. Day 44 pictures were after some simple hand bending lst. This week we've seen alot of growth in all the plants. They need water about ever 4 days and between all 4 they take a gallon and a half untill the get a little run off out of the bottom. Roots are starting to come out of the bottom of the pots. Day 44 I noticed some spots on plant bs leaf I think it was from a nat or something I saw in the tent. And same day plant d has very slight yellowing on the tips of the newest growth. Think it's a deficiency of some sort, I'll look into it. Day 45 Transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots with fox farms ocean forest soil. Didn't water today because the root balls where still pretty moist. Raised light to maintain 24" about the canopy. Day 46 Watered all 4 plants took about 4.25g of water. PH 6.3 @ 73° F. Day 47 Think I shouldn't have watered yesterday plants A, B, and D are drooping. Plant B has some light brown/yellow spots on the middle growth and very slight yellowing on the tips of the newer growth. Plant D has different spots dark red/brown almost burnt orange on middle growth and yellowing on the tips of the leaves. Weird how plant C just doesn't care what I do to it it just keeps getting bushier and wider leaves, never yellowing or drooping. Day 48 None of the plants were dropping the evening, and the spots and yellowing havnt gotten any worse. They grew alot since I measured yesterday.

July 9 Mixed 1 tsp of RAW Grow with 1.25 gallons of water and PH'd to low 6s. Fed about 1 gallon. July 10 New nutrients seemed to take well. Leaves perked back up like usual. July 14 Got some RAW Bloom out for delivery. I think that will help with the yellowing lower leaf tips. Will feed 1 tsp per gallon tonight and will mix in 3 teaspoons of epsom salt too.

Man, that Skunk Apple runtz plant is giving me some trouble. It's still really small and hasn't grown much at all. I think I might've messed up a little because the leaves are looking kinda rough. Hopefully it can bounce back. Well, it's Christmas again. This year feels a little different, though. Maybe it's the snow blanketing everything, or the way the tree lights up the whole living room. Either way, it's cozy and warm, even when it's freezing outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Santa brings. I hope I get that new video game I've been wanting. But most of all, I can't wait to spend time with my family. We always have so much fun This past week was a good one for the plants. They started the first week of their stretch, and they've already grown a decent amount. I can really see them filling out. It's cool to watch them grow so fast. I can't wait to see how big they get by the end I always get a little worried at this stage, like they're not gonna get as big as I want them to. But then I remember how they always end up surprising me. By the end, they're always perfect.

(11/11-11/17) ***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe will be noted in this top message of the week that I make it.*** Week 1 Notes & Observations: Both plants are coming along pretty good. No concerns rolling into week 2, I will be starting nute supplements in the diet this week but plan to add them slowly to the regular routine. Day 18, WOW what a difference the feed made with Plant 1!? She was a good inch behind plant 2 at the start of the week and today she 'looked' bigger, so I measured, 2 days after the deep nute feed, and now she's an inch taller than plant 2.😮 VPD this week will reduce the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 75- 78F daytime and 68-70F overnight. Lights should adjusted to provide 300 max, but will try to hold the 280 setting as long as I can this week. Meaning no increase over last week other than growth. Feed & Monitor: Day 16 (last feed was day 11) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, P1 weighed 15lbs 9oz and P2 was 15lbs 15oz before feed. Each plant got 1 gallon of purified water with 75ppm Veg Mix (recipe above and makes 1 gallon at about 3600 to 4000ppm concentrate to dilute each feed, i.e. I only fed 75ppm above the purified water ppm this feed) The ph on this feed was balanced to 5.75ph to combat the higher runoff ph from the last feed. P1 weighed 21lbs even and P2 weighed 21lbs 5oz after feed. I got about 5 cups of runoff on P1 and 6 cups on P2. Top soil tested at: P1 (6.37, 6.37, 6.37, 6.32) avg 6.357 and P2 (6.55, 6.61, 6.52, 6.42) avg 6.525 - Runoff for P1 ph was 6.29 with 1530ppm and P2 was 6.29 with 1580ppm. Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos). I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week.

Sie wird von Woche zu Woche kräftiger und hat keine Probleme mit den doch recht niedrigen Temperaturen nachts. Das Topping hat sie gut vertragen und trotzdem noch 10 cm in dieser Woche zugelegt. Nächste Woche nach den Eisheiligen erfolgt das Umtopfen in den Endtopf. So weit sieht es bisher gut aus.

Ya estamos llegando al final. El peso de los cogollos hizo que una de las plantas termine ladeada. Esta semana ya voy a empezar con el corte. Se ve una buena cantidad y lindos cogollos. El Ph siguió bajando mucho, lo cual puede que sea debido a raices muertas dentro del caño, lo cual es común en este tipo de sistemas. Aún así las plantas están muy bien y se ve que va a haber una muy buena producción. No voy a hacer lavado, dado que varios artículos científicos denuestran que no hay ningún tipo de modificación positiva por hacerlo. De hecho en hidroponía, la falta de nutrientes durante 3 días ya empiezan a afectar negativamente al perfíl terpenico y a la masa vegetal. Ya busqué lugares de la casa donde tenga lad condiciones óptimas para el secado, así que espero lograr un secado largo y lento, de unas 2 semanas.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 9 From Seed | Week 4 Flower We’re now entering Week 4 of flower with our GMO Cookies — and things are moving fast. Very fast. From structure to flower formation, these girls are showing intent. Stacking, stretching, drinking… responding. Let’s break this week down properly. --- ## 🔬 Macro World — Why We Start Looking Closer Now This week marks the beginning of something important: we stop just looking… and start observing. Macro photography allows us to step into the plant’s reality: • Trichome heads beginning to form • Early resin coverage on sugar leaves • Pistils reaching, searching, multiplying • Surface textures you don’t see with the naked eye No stacking here — just single shots. Finding the focus. Respecting the moment. Some shots are clean and informative. Others are more dramatic — shadows, contrast, emotion. Both matter. Because growing is not just data… it’s also perspective. --- ## 🌿 Canopy Work — Opening Space, Not Forcing Control This week we did a selective defoliation. Not aggressive. Not random. Intentional. One of the girls pushed hard — dense structure, limited airflow — so we opened her up slightly. Goal: • Improve light penetration • Reduce microclimate buildup • Allow lower sites to breathe • Keep energy moving efficiently We removed more leaves than initially expected — but always with respect to the plant. No stress signs after. They accepted it well. --- ## ⚠️ Leaf Observations — Nothing Concerning We spotted some burned leaves, mainly: → Under-canopy LED exposure → Lower zones receiving direct intensity Important: • Not spreading • Not systemic • New growth remains healthy Color is strong. Leaf posture is confident. Flower sites are developing clean. This is not a problem — just a note. --- ## 🌱 Current Environment & Feeding The girls are eating and drinking like champions: • 💧 ~1.7L per plant / day • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • 🌡️ Temp: 28°C • 💨 RH: 60–65% • 🌬️ CO₂: ~1000 ppm Everything is aligned with their demand. They’re not being pushed — they’re being supported. --- ## 📏 Structure & Growth • Height: ~150 cm • Strong vertical development • Good lateral branching • Flower sites stacking consistently This is the phase where structure turns into yield. And we’re right on time. --- ## 🎥 Studio Sessions & Documentation As always — they stepped into the studio. And honestly… they delivered. From full plant portraits to intimate macro moments — this week gave us a full visual story. Also introducing officially: 🎬 Mr. Baggy More coming from him soon. --- ## 🔮 What To Expect Next Week Week 5 will be decisive. Expect: • Increased bud stacking • Resin production accelerating • Pistils multiplying rapidly • Stretch slowing down • Nutrient demand stabilizing We’ll keep observing closely — especially through macro. Because this is where quality is defined. --- ## 🙏 Final Words To everyone following this journey: • The OGs • The silent watchers • The skeptics • The supporters • The new growers finding their way Thank you. To the platform. To the community. To everyone building this space with us. This is not just a grow. It’s a shared process.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Report on week 3 of veg: I lower the RH to 50-55% while the RM stays relatively on the higher range: 27-29C daytime and 18-22 at night. I had nice visual on the 6th node of BB3, Larry Bird and Gelato plants and few cm. to avoid any eventual stem splitting, so i topped them. I guess the Gorilla will be ready for topping by tomorrow. Unfortunately i have to work with hard water so i have to keep constant eye on the water's EC. For this reason and from personal experience i wont increase the nutrients dosage any time before flowering. The high percentage of worm castings is doing wonders and help me a lot with the substrate's maintance. I did some runoff water measurements and end up with the following values: Gorilla had 2.75EC and 6.5pH, Gelato got 2.70/6.6, Larry 2.85/6.7 and BB 2.20/6.9. Substrate pH is 7.0. Once again, I have to say that Sunmaster's Dual Spectrum HPS are indeed super powerful lamps. I added another clip-fan to ensure a nice breeze around the plants. I will follow the general rule of thumb and give the plants 10-14 days to recover from the HST. Once i week i spray the plants with foliar iron-based nutrient solution👊 (Plagron Vita Race). It boosts the photosynthesis, plus it washes and cleans the leaves. P.s. only the Larry Bird is topped on the pictures. I topped other two today, but i didnt want to switch-off the lights in order to take pictures. Peace!
