🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Day 120 - Getting closer to harvest day for this lady. She's huge and full of buds towards the top, smaller somewhat fat buds in the middle, and larfy buds at the bottom. I should have lollipopped her 1 or 2 more nodes up, especially for the colas that did not end up stretching as far as the others. Fed the lady water amended per this week's diary. Still seeing white pistils on her main colas so still 2 weeks away or so from harvest. I think this will be her last full nutrient feeding and for her next watering she'll get her last Cal-Mag feeding. I'll probably do 2 more plain water feedings from there and harvest once the soil is dried out after her last plain water feeding. I'm seeing a few of the lower buds of the lowest colas show some spots on the leaves so I just cut those parts off and hung to begin drying. It doesn't appear to be spreading but I'll keep an eye out these next few days. Day 123 - Fed the lady her last Cal-Mag amended feeding. Trichomes are looking more cloudy now on the middle buds. Will give 1 more plain water feeding instead of 2, I want to see how this bud will smoke with minimal flush versus the first lady harvested that was flushed more. Day 127 - Decided to skip completely flushing her to compare versus an over flushed plant. Harvested her today with the soil nice and dry.

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W4V4 6/29-7/5 6/29 2 liters water ph 6.1, ppm 242, 69.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. 7/2 2 liters ph 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. I’m giving ph water for this grow unless deficiencies are noted since Supersoil is in my base mix and will be adding Green Sensation during flower. She is 3.5 inches tall and very bushy. From the pics you can see she fills up the top of her 3 gal pot with her big indica leaves. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support.

Start of week 3 I believe the girls are doing good a few minor worries but that’s at ease for now I think , i have added nutes at a low level and will increase once I see how the plants react to the introduction of the nutes .. Looking into starting lsd on some plants but not too sure wether it’s to early or so . will continue to update the week but for now Started lst on a few plants day 15 and seen good reactions by day 17 so quite happy with that and will continue this process I will also look into topping my plants as well but not just yet ... they seemed to like the nutes as well so all good week so far Soo topping done on 4 plants wasn’t as scary as it sounded haha let’s see how they recover ! Going to combine lst as well now Very good recovery it looks like and the end of week 3 looks promising with the plants happy growing

Nice and frosty, buds are finally looking like they’re getting dense and putting on some weight. Start flushing in a couple weeks when all the pistils get that orange color. So far about 50-70% are orange.

The lady went into the drying tent this morning. I exceeded the suggested 6-7 weeks (flowering) by 4-5 days because I wanted to wait until she reaches 20-25 % amber this time. Despite all the issues caused by my mistakes, she managed to grow healthy looking frosty buds. This pheno was definitely not the biggest producer thoguh but the smell is absolutely top notch.

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Rainbow Saltz from lit farms is another winner. It has larger solid nugs too to bottom very round golf balls size nugs probably slightly larger than golf balls. Very uniform strong growth with soild stems that can easily hold its own without an any steaks or tying. The plant doesn’t have the strongest smell yet although it is a lot plant. So I do expect it to have good smell b4 all is said and done. It doesn’t have super dense tricombs quite yet. It seems to have smaller tricomb heads usually when they have small tricomb heads they end up just having a bunch of tricombs. I like how soild the plant is it has potential to breed with a super dank plant.

Apple Fritter developed some CalMag deficiency when I used a different fertilizer, so I'll stick with B'cuzz for this round.

Flipped a week ago. They are stretching nicely. I have a couple feet left in the tent. Should be good right? 🤔

Final week (I think) This plant is just one big bud now. Smelling fantastic and looking gorgeous. Checked the terpenes this morning a only a few more amber which makes me think this light stretch another week. Two florakleen flushes now so from here on out it’s just water. (Thursday) So believe it or not I don’t think this is going to be finished this weekend as I had hoped. It still might have another week left. Only starting to see multiple amber trichomes under the microscope and I don’t really want to rush it based on what my timeline should be. I want this to be perfect or as close to it as possible based on my skill set. Going to ride it out with just ph water and see how it goes.

Yes gromies I gave her canna boost for the first time today I'm giving around 600ml de-chlorinated water every 2 days, il aways feed every 2 days spreading all different nutrients between them, get a nice balance, watering just enough so the coco goes dry after 2nd day well on top atleast anyway. Giving silica on its own once a week 0.5ml to 600ml water ph'd to 6. Removed a few lower leaves and pegged back 2 branches to make room for the many colas now coming threw nicely. Not sure how this grow is going! it feels slow upto now but she's well into flower now and the stretch is real... Added midweek.. I could feel her asking for phosphorus and potassium so gave her a little tickle of PK13/14 (0.5 To 500ml ph'd to 6). 1 feed. Going vertical and filling budding sites nicely. 😛. Raised the light for more vertical growth before she puts some weight on. 😉. Thanks for taking your time out to view my diary. Peace and love 💚

Day 19. Another defoliation. Watered in a gallon from the top. Then topped off sip buckets.
