🇺🇸 Week 7 - Grow Journal of Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) 🇺🇸 On the Way Back to Full Strength! After two tough weeks with overfeeding and water stress, I’m finally happy to see my plant bouncing back. The roots had taken a hit, and last week, I noticed my filter was way more clogged than usual. I believe the dead roots were broken down and flushed out, most likely thanks to Cannazym. I added it specifically to help decompose the damaged roots, and it seems to have done its job. Today, I checked the roots and saw that they have stopped browning and are beginning to return to a more normal color. They were previously quite dark, but now they’re showing signs of improvement. The root mass hasn’t regained volume yet, but I think it’s still eliminating waste. It’ll be interesting to see if more debris accumulates in the filter or if it remains clean from now on. Another great sign: my nutrient solution level has dropped, meaning the plant is feeding properly again. At the same time, my EC has decreased, confirming that it’s actively absorbing nutrients. This recovery is also visible in the canopy: it has become denser, allowing me to slightly top some central shoots that were growing past the screen and to continue working on the SCROG. The only minor issue this week was pH fluctuation. Over the weekend, it rose to 6.6, but I recalibrated it to 5.9 today. I suspect this is due to the plant still shedding dead roots, which could be affecting its balance. Either way, I’ll be changing the nutrient solution soon, which should stabilize things further. Current Grow Parameters: • Strain: Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) • Light Cycle: 18 hours • Humidity: 70% • pH: Adjusted back to 5.9 after peaking at 6.6 • EC: Down to 1.1 after briefly reaching 1.3 - 1.4 • Training: Light topping in the center + SCROG work + selective defoliation for better light penetration Final Thoughts: Things are improving, but we’re not fully there yet. The plant is regaining strength, the roots are clearing up, and it’s feeding well again. I’ll keep a close eye on its next developments, especially root mass expansion. Excited to see how things evolve next week! See you next time for another update! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 7 - Journal de Culture de Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) 🇫🇷 On est en train de revenir à la pleine forme ! Après deux semaines compliquées marquées par une surnutrition et un stress hydrique, je suis heureux de voir que la plante repart dans le bon sens. Les racines avaient bien souffert, et en observant mon filtre la semaine dernière, j’ai remarqué qu’il était bien plus encrassé que d’habitude. J’en conclus que les racines mortes ont été détruites et évacuées, sûrement grâce au Cannazym. J’avais ajouté ce produit pour faciliter la décomposition des racines abîmées, et cela semble avoir bien fonctionné. Aujourd’hui, en observant les racines, j’ai constaté qu’elles ont arrêté de brunir et qu’elles commencent à retrouver une couleur normale. Elles étaient auparavant bien sombres, mais leur état s’améliore nettement. Pour l’instant, la masse racinaire n’a pas encore repris en volume, mais je pense qu’elle élimine encore des déchets. Ce sera intéressant de voir si mon filtre continue à accumuler du dépôt ou si tout est désormais propre. Autre signe encourageant : le niveau de ma solution nutritive a bien baissé, ce qui indique que la plante se réalimente correctement. En parallèle, mon EC a également diminué, preuve qu’elle absorbe bien les nutriments. Cette reprise se reflète aussi visuellement : la canopée s’est densifiée, ce qui m’a permis de légèrement étêter certaines têtes centrales qui dépassaient du grillage et de continuer mon travail sur le SCROG. Le seul petit point de vigilance concerne le pH, qui a fluctué. Ce week-end, il est monté jusqu’à 6,6, mais je l’ai recalibré aujourd’hui à 5,9. Je pense que ces variations sont dues au fait qu’elle se débarrasse encore de ses racines mortes et qu’elle n’a pas encore retrouvé un équilibre complet. De toute façon, je vais bientôt renouveler la solution nutritive, ce qui permettra de repartir sur une base stable. Paramètres de culture actuels : • Variété : Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) • Photopériode : 18 heures de lumière • Humidité : 70 % • pH : ajusté à 5,9 après une fluctuation jusqu’à 6,6 • EC : descendu à 1,1 après être monté à 1,3 - 1,4 • Taille & palissage : léger topping central + travail sur le SCROG + retrait de quelques feuilles pour une meilleure pénétration lumineuse En conclusion : Les choses s’améliorent, mais ce n’est pas encore complètement gagné. La plante reprend de la vigueur, les racines s’éclaircissent et elle recommence à bien se nourrir. Je reste attentif aux prochaines évolutions, notamment sur la masse racinaire. Hâte de voir comment ça progresse la semaine prochaine ! À la semaine prochaine pour un nouveau point ! 🤘😎

Still Hot AF! We’re at 100F everyday. All except the jelly rancher seem fine with it. The banana mango isn’t bothered. It’s interesting the heat difference on strains. All were planted the same time July 24, for the first time high today will be 90! Not 100! Shooting up like rockets! July 27th - supercropped the banana mango and it’s crazy wide and like a huge solar array! It rained yesterday! Real, soaking, non-drought rain. The plants loved it…

All good flowers are coming along nicely and getting thicker. 500ml water per day 12/12, fertilization happens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the mix above. All good so far I just keep removing the bottom leaves that are yellowish. Fruit Tree will be the quickest to be harvested all of them are nicely maturing needs some more time. Some more weeks and we will see.

🌱 Week 2: Mutant Magic in Full Swing! 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! Another week, another step forward in the adventure with these Mentha de Croco beauties. Week 2 has been nothing short of fascinating—the variety in leaf shapes is absolutely mesmerizing. These tiny mutants are already showing their unique personality, and I’m loving every second of watching them grow! 🌿✨ Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key The setup remains the same as last week, keeping these little ones in the perfect environment to thrive: • Temperature: Stable, warm conditions for steady growth. • Humidity: Maintaining high RH ensures they’re still enjoying tropical vibes as their root systems develop. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to deliver just the right amount of light to keep the plants growing compact and strong. Nutrition: Introducing the Organic-Mineral Boost 🌿 This week, I started feeding the plants with the incredible Aptus Holland organic-mineral line. It’s been a game-changer, and here’s why I love it: What’s Organic-Mineral Nutrition? • Combines the benefits of organic matter (microbial health and soil vitality) with the efficiency of mineral nutrients (direct uptake by plants). • Supports balanced, steady growth while boosting plant resilience. This Week’s Feeding Schedule: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): A silica-based product that strengthens plant structure and helps regulate stress, ensuring the plants stay strong and sturdy. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Calcium and magnesium are essential for cell wall development and chlorophyll production, supporting lush, vibrant growth. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): A comprehensive blend that delivers all the essential nutrients in one easy feed, perfect for these little mutants finding their stride. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and nutrients, this product ensures strong root development and prepares the plants for explosive growth in the coming weeks. Why Aptus? I’ve been a huge fan of Aptus Holland because their line truly focuses on building strong, healthy plants from the ground up. The results speak for themselves—happy plants, explosive growth, and vibrant health at every stage. true believer here and way before being sponsored by them . Mutant Leaf Love: Celebrating the Unique 🌿 The highlight of this week has to be the unique leaf patterns these plants are developing. Each one seems to have its own story to tell—serrated edges, funky symmetry, and a whole spectrum of textures. They’re tiny but mighty, and it’s so exciting to see the potential of these genetics from Terpyz Mutant Genetics come to life. Mutants always bring surprises, and it’s a beautiful reminder that diversity is what makes this journey so rewarding. Reflections & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡 💚 Feed Lightly, Grow Strong: For young plants, keep your feed gentle to avoid overloading them. Start slow and adjust as they grow. 🌱 Celebrate Differences: Each plant will grow at its own pace, and unique traits are part of the magic. Patience is key! 💧 Stay Consistent: The foundation you build in these early weeks sets the tone for the entire grow. Stable conditions = happy plants.

This girl really is coming along beautifully her buds are bulking and she producing more of a smell every day! This week I have been diluting/flushing the reservoir by just adding water at ph 6.2 before I do a full reservoir change for the full flush. Im hoping to see her really bulk up during these last few weeks. Happy growing 🌱

Been a lil busy. Haven't been on here or in the garden as much as i need to. The girls are growing all natural. I have literally taken no leaves off their entire lives. Some of the old fan leaves die during light drybacks. Inuse deybacks for stacking nutes and some light drought stress which can increase oil production. They just have a small cage at two levels. I have cut nutrients to most of them, going for quality smoke as its already more than I can consume lol. Two look like they are still bulking. Some are getting close. Everyone is still getting bokashi/ffj for the terps and ethylene found in the ripe fruits. It helps with senescence.. I turned the lights and temps down to help crop steer ‘em. We are getting close! Thanks for readin

SuperSativaSeedClub PurplePunchOG Auto Week 5 update for these 3 little ladies. They all seem to be growing at different rates but over all seem healthy. I've decided to do a defoliation on all three, topped two and did some LST training so it's definitely been an eventful week. I'll start introducing some General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series in the coming feedings. Over all Happy Growing.
