🇺🇸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. 🤘😎

Día 32. Esta semana corté los esquejes. El dia 30 de crecimiento. Saqué 8 y los puse a enraizar en lana de roca, dentro de media botella de 6lt tapada con otra mitad. Mantengo la solución de la semana anterior. Hasta ahora la planta se ve muy bien. Ya dentro de una semana espero tener raíces y pasarlas al indoor de arriba con la madre. La configuración del espacio va a ser un desafío dado que la madre tiene las ramas muy abiertas. A primera idea, supongo que haré que los costados sean ocupados por la madre y guiaré los 4 esquejes para que ocupen el centro del indoor. De todos modos seguro aplique tecnicas de guiado y/o cortes en los esquejes. Una vez arriba pienso darles una semana de crecimiento y ver, en base al tamaño que tengan, si ya los paso a floración. Quiero aprovechar el primer cultivo para tener una referencia de espacio y tamaño. El tiempo va pasando más rápido de lo que imaginé y ver los cambios tan rápidos ha ayudado. Debo admitir que soy un poco obsesivo y eso me hace más fanático de la hidroponia, ya que el cultivo es más limpio y mucho más rápido para crecer. Ahora tengo que esperar ver. Subo un video con la configuración terminada, y de esa forma, se puede entender la idea. Sorry for those who don't speak spanish, but I've made the video in spanish. Anyways you can see and understand the configuration. Estoy orgulloso de lo que pude armar usando maderas de palets y otras que también encontré en la calle. La mayoría de los artefactos los tenía de otros indoors que he tenido. Ya prontl habrá actualizaciones sobre el avance. Pero seguramente para cuando estén enraizados los esquejes, esté en la 6ta semana de crecimiento y llegaré a las 7 sumando lo que haga crecer las plantas arriba. Ya anticipo que el próximo cultivo será con la Black Jack de Sweet Seeds, aunque me queda sólo una, y espero poderla germinar con éxito. Sino habrá que salir a comprar otra variedad y en Argentina no hay variedad. No quisera volver a caer en BSF. Saludos!

She started to flower on August 3rd I have to force flower giving her total darkness because my house is full surrounded by the street lights and I wanna make sure that she flowers without any risk or problem,always have to do that with Photoperiods outdoors.

At the start of week 8 all 3 girls are showing preflowers! They have started stretching a good amount. I will apply nutrients on day 5 just before I leave for vacation. I added 5ml of Flying Skull Z7 to my reservoir. On day 3 of week 8 I added another 5 gal bucket reservoir for my Blumats, which will work through a siphon to essentially raise my reservoir volume to 10 gal for my upcoming vacation. I defoliated the centers of each plant to improve light penetration and airflow. On day 4 of week 8 I took clones from each Pheno. On day 5 of week 8 I applied weekly nutrients. I also filled up and adjusted the PH of my 2- 5 gal reservoirs in preparation for vacation tomorrow (I adjusted the PH to 5.5 in hopes that it will naturally drift up over the week I'm gone to no higher than 6.5). I wont have much updates until the 15th of April 😳🙏 (I will post pics from my security camera while I'm away)

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 6 2/9-15 The Cheese gals are in full flower, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and some pistils are turning brown. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are almost identical. I don’t see much difference in their growth so far using the different mediums. Soil and soil/coco blend. Maybe harvest will show a difference in yield from each one. Time will tell. On 2/13 I did major defoliation on my Cheese gals. I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. Stretching has slowed down. Both girls grew only an inch and now 17 inches. This is only the end of flower week 2. Controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line. 2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back. Bloom Juice 45ml Plant Juice 75 ml Royal Rush 15 ml Power bud 15ml Green sensation 7.5ml Recharge 2.5ml/gal 4 ml Cal Mag 5 Ppm 333 Ph 7.02 Temp 66 2/13 5 gal Bloom Juice 60ml Plant Juice 60 ml Royal Rush 20 ml Power bud 20ml Green sensation 10ml Recharge 2.5ml/gal 4 ml Cal Mag 25 Ppm 538 Ph 6.6 Temp 66 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Es wurde Zeit, das Wetter wurde ungemütlich, kalt und regnerisch. Die anderen Pflanzen hatten bereits Schimmel entwickelt und es war auch kein weiteres Blütenwachstum festzustellen. die Trichome sahen auch leicht angebräunt aus, Deshalb wurde geerntet und verarbeitet. Die Ernte der zweiten späten Pflanze war wesentlich geringer aber noch passabel.

As of day 57 the grow is going well! I am more confident that the leaf yellowing is regular end of life changes at this point. The buds are putting on decent weight and the trichomes have mostly clouded over. It is entering the harvest window in my opinion, but I am going to wait another week or so before harvest and give it some time to ripen more. I have switched my feeding to a mild does of GO biothrive bloom which will finish the grow with primarily organic nutes through the last couple weeks. i will continue to fade down the nutrients as the plant is hitting the end of its life. Thanks for reading!

Well my beautiful ladies are stacking on the buds and there are some really lovely buds on there the trichomes are starting to turn cloudy and there are a few Amber but they are not quite ready yet I check them religiously everyday to make sure I don't miss the optimal time to crop there are 2 I believe will be ready first so my plan is to start a 48 hour flush as soon as they give the the final sign So excited to be able to see the finish line now going to decide what plants to do next this weekend. Stay blessed 💚

Girls had a very tough week of rain everyday and very high winds a couple of those days. Took off a few spots of bud rot on one of the girls. Ripped out the bad and let the rest dry...Wow! Such a piny taste. In for a treat soon. Start taking them down after another week, especially if it is another week of rain.. Thanks to AMS and all my brownies out there...👍 1 plant down on the 26th. Over loaded the scales at 510 grams 4 times. Guessing at least 3000 grams wet trimmed.. Sept 27 2nd plant down. A little less than the first, but it is the smallest of the 4.

Slt, déjà la fin de la semaine 5. Les plantes ont très bien récupérées de leur topping et de leur défoliation. Les plantes semblent être en bonne santé. Je viens juste de refaire une défoliation et du LST, pour avoir la structure voulu et donner toute l’énergie de la plante pour les tiges principales, en espérant que cela soit profitable aux plantes. J’espère ne pas m’être trompé.🙏 En photos et vidéos je montre avant et après la défoliation et le LST, et le fonctionnement du sytème d’irrigation. A la semaine prochaine... Happy grow😎 Ps: le rendu des couleurs sur les vidéos et photos peu être bizarre à cause de la LED.

08/05/2024 Lights On! Dark Purples & Pinks! I wasn't expecting Forgotten Haze to have these hues in it! Amnesia White & Vanilla Haze cross! 09/05/2024 Lights On! During her Lights Off period, she consumed 8 liters of water. I noticed a significant increase in the size of the buds since yesterday, and they appear much frostier. Honestly these buds look bigger to the eye I smoked some early under buds last night!
