A week with lots of activity from my side, from the Gorilla's side, not so much. She stays behind and I can't find any other reason than genetics/seed quality. She is in exactly the same conditions as the other girls. I'm letting her do her thing. She will give some weed, well see how much. Maybe she is a late-bloomer. She does look lush and healthy so we do not understand but are learning. I put in the scrog net since her roommates need it and lowered the lights and started giving more flowering feed. The light is still awesome, the amount it puts out. This SP- 3000 rocks and, wallet permitting, we will go for a second one. @MarsHydroLED might be so happy with the amount of coverage we give them, they'll send us another one 😏 If you haven't seen it yet and you are in the market for new gear, check out the Black Friday super sale on www.mars-hydro.com!! We are gonna see what happens coming weeks with this strain. So far I am a bit disappointed and didn't expect this from this strain. We will never know if it was the age of the seeds or something else. What I do know is, it was the last time I use a third party seedbank, it is apparently too hard to keep fresh stock with too many strains. Until breeders put a production date o the packaging. Isn't it time someone said that? Cause lets keep it real, we are talking seeds that in any other case would have a cost of production of fractions of cents per seed. We pay what? 3 to 5 to maybe even 20 dollars a seed for an exceptional strain? Is it then too much too ask to put a friggin expiry date on the package? Or store them cooled? The breeder that does that and arranges a deal with third-parties that overstock can be sent back, packaging recycled, in exchange for fresh stock. Like any other fresh trade. For an industry making what, a billion worldwide, it is remarkable how many are still in the stoner with a garage / 80's trailer park, backwater funfair warranty, kinda customer service. Me: i grow organic weed for 30 years, these seeds were old Seed dealer: Yes but you failed to do a raindance on the rising moon, no refund. Me: but its for cannabis? Weed industry: Yes why we charged you double! Me: wow no germination after paying 20 bucks for seeds? Industry: They are all stoners, they won't notice.... Me: but this bong is made from toxic plastics? Headshop: yeas but it has this crumbling image of a leaf, 20 dollar! Can they get their shit together? For god's sake, I've seen crack dealers with better PR and customer care. Someone do sumtin, take us out of the car boot era please?

After three weeks in the solo cups I transplanted to 1 gallon pots and three days later I noticed yellowing on one of the plants so in 16oz of water I mixed in 1/4 tsp of Epsom salt and gave it to both plants in fear of magnesium deficiency but the other plant is thriving and growing strong.

Think I should start flushing this week, what do you guys think??? Pics and video aren’t the best this weed *added few more pics today

Der Orange Buds geht es ganz gut 👍. In Hydroponic dauert es am Anfang immer ein wenig länger bis die Pflanze richtig durchstartet.. Ich denke mal in 2 Wochen fängt es dann richtig an. DLI liegt bei 16.92 ( 20 h Licht bei 235 PPFD). Heute wechsle ich das 1. Mal Wasser und gebe additiv Silicate von Terra Aquatica hinzu. Die ersten Tage hatte ich Schwankungen im PH Wert,ich denke weil der EC Wert so niedrig ist und weil die Blähton Kugeln auch erstmal den angestrebten Ph Wert annehmen müssen. Die Pflanze bekommt hier und da gelegentlich Streicheleinheiten von dem Mini Ventilator damit sie kräftiger wird Bye

This week was the last one for the Cashew Kush and the Blackberry Cake! I watered them with clear water 2 times before the harvest. I will harvest the Jack Herer in one week.

We are in Flush !! Was giving them GH Flora series + rapid start + cal mag

Hab heute (31.1) die Apple Fritter aus dem Zelt geschmissen. Kollege ht sich gefreut, hat leider gespargelt, hab sie noch für ihn umgetopft auf 20L. Wird ihr denke ich sehr gut tun wen sie die nächsten Tage gut behandelt wird. Die Apple Fritter geht dafür gut Steil. Hat wie die anderen gute Stickstoffmängel aber die hab ich hoffentlich gelöst bekommen. Jetzt wo auch mehr Platz im Zelt ist wirds denke mal :)

Hi Growmies, This was her last week of heavy feeding. I have already decreased the nutes for the coming week and will probably start flushing her the week after. So that she should be finished by the end of the contest pretty much. Regardless of her age the rootball has shrunk only a little bit. I have also taken her out of the scrog to enable the canopy to open up further and allow more light penetration for the maturation of the buds. This worked actually very well, as the weight of the buds pull the plant open. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

Ya se van viendo los primeros pistilos blancos, ya llevan dos semanas de 12 horas de luz, he realizado poda de bajos y he aumentado tanto el PH como la EC para que vayan cogiendo forma las flores, asimilando más fósforo y potasio al estar el PH a 6.3, voy alternando los abonados con un riego de agua, un riego con abono, respetando el rango de PH correspondiente y midiendo la EC para que este a 0.4, si me da menos subo con Calmag de Biobizz, en dos semanas estarán listas para pasar al armario grande, con 300w de led para sus últimas 4 semanas hacer que engorden bien los cogollos, buenos humos!!!!😃

Flushing 💧

D56/F8 - 11.14 - The LA Sunset and Passion Berry in the 5x4 have gone absolutely beast mode. I'm loving it. Nothing new to report except the obviously responded well to defoliation, got them some peony rings and a blumat system, which is really impressing me so far!! D59/F11 - 11.17 - the smaller LA Sunset in the 3 gallon is stretching very noticeably but maintaining and nice internode distance 👌 D60/F12 - 11.18 - These plants are vigorous as heck. The Passion Berry is absolutely dominating the stretch <3

Welcome to the beginning of week 7 for Karen. Thank you for stopping by! I'm counting this as the first week of flowering but she's been sending out pistils for two weeks, so I guess that weeks four and five should have been flowering weeks. Sorry about that. Surprised to be here but excited to see the next few weeks. Day 44: This girl is amazing. She took the horrendous start I gave her for the first three weeks, and just exploded. Look at her now! If you are really interested, now look at Misty and Nesia - imagine what they could do! I am really pleased with Karen here, I think she has more surprises in store. I am very glad I decided to LST or she would be towering above everything else in the tent. I have noted early Mg deficiency, as more advanced on Nesia. Correcting with foliar and re-addition of CalMag to feed. Day 44.5: Fertigated approx 1.5l. Defoliated approx 10 leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Day 46: Fertigated 2l. Karen is very thirsty. Her roots have breached the side walls at the bottom of the pot in 360 degrees... this is the biggest root system I've had on any potted plant to date. She is stretching fast now, I think by the end of next week she will be done stretching. I must get a photo of her stem. The base is ridiculously thick. Overall Karen is shockingly good compared to expectations from the poor start. I can only imagine how big she would be. She is currently 27cm tall and at least 50cm in diameter. I count at least a dozen colas. Day 47. She is now 29cm tall and pistils are bursting forth at a phrenetic pace. I have added a comparison shot of my grow space for size reference. Day 47.5: Defoliated approx 30 fan leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Rearranged tent and cleaned floor. I have ordered some risers to raise the pots off the floor, this will make it easier to deal with run off. While I was inspecting Karen I had a good look at her roots. The fabric pot she is in has viewing flaps (they were designed for potatoes) and I had a look... every bit of the pot is full of roots, and they're all properly pruned. I see no circulation or binding. If Karen produces at anywhere near the rate she is supposed to then she might yield as much as 150g. Day 48.5: Rapid changes. Pistils everywhere, more stretching. Karen is very thirsty. Fertigated. Added pot risers and adjusted pot. Did a little LST to separate some bunched colas a bit. Had a really good inspect of the root system. Wow this plant is a beast. Day 48.75: Fertigated 3l Day 49: Height 34cm Diameter: 60cm. End of week summary. Really big week, she is stretching quicker and quicker. Today she has developed a striking scent. I will now have to keep the tent closed so temps will rise. Day 49.5: Removed about 10 fan leaves. On reflection back over this week I think I needed to be taking a top and side photo, so I shall do that from next week.

Week 5 of flowering, looking great. Sugaring up nicely. Aroma now becoming very noticeable. 25 March - watered w nutes 2L each. 28 March - watered w nutes 2L each. 31 March - minimal PK nutes 2L each. Runtz Harvested as hermied. Disappointed- these two clones both hermied upon inspection with male flowers and a few bananas. No other plants in tent hermied and conditions have been optimal this run. Clones from mother which hermied last run but not picked up until harvest but gave a second chance with clones as weather had been very hot.

I defoliated a lot of the under canopy today so I could move the scrog net upwards. These girls just had to stretch and stretch their legs. And, yes, the smell on my fingers after handling them was intensely citrus. I only gave them a little water this week as the air has been very moist and the soil has been damp enough.
