Day 21: First topping. Happy to removed the light-stressed part of the plant from the equation if only for cosmetic reasons. I waited for 5 nodes before the topping. Day 22: Godammit, the light failed again. Turned it off and waited for it to cool down. Turned it back on and it worked. Lost 1 hour of light. Day 23: Because of previous light stress and canopy temperature, I felt that 35cm is a good distance for the light. Day 25: First LST on the new growth tips. Started the mainline. Day 26: Again the light is failing to come on. I rewired once again, cursing my very existence, and it worked again. Again lost an hour of light in the morning. Continued refining the LST, and seeing how far I can push it. Noticed a slight tear at the base of one of the mains. Since the plant energy is coming from below and there is no noticeable affect on growth I'm going to ignore it. Checked the roots - look healthy. Though the new growth tips are not completely symmetrical, those leaves look good enough to eat. Trimmed the excess fan leaves. Topped up with a small amount of nutrients. Day 27: light didn't come on again. I rewired again, but this time it was stone cold refusing to do anything. Again I cursed my existence and all of life. Returned to grow store, turns out bulb was defective after all. Again lost 4 hours of light. But at least now I know the problem is solved. Rene at the grow store is a champ though, very helpful guy. The new bulb is noticeably brighter also. Maybe this was affecting growth? Also once this issue was fixed, I noticed some small amount of nutrient burn on the leaves tips. Rebalanced nutrients. Was 1.9 mS/m lowered to 1.65 mS/m, then to 1.48 mS/m. Must be more careful in future when upping the dosage but the water conductivity is now less than before (1.55 mS/m) so this should be ok. Also lowered pH of water slightly since it was 6.0. It's currently showing 5.2 but experience has taught me that this measurement will comfortably go back up to 5.7. water pH is seemingly constantly rising as the plant grows, and adjusting pH is really more art than science. (Edit: It was 5.7 the next morning, so ya ... )

Vaped some lower buds and the taste is as advertised like tropical fruit or fruity pebbles

🌸 Week 7 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed and flowering is now in full swing across all 6 phenos 👀🔥 The differences between the plants continue to grow, and it’s becoming easier to see which phenos have the potential to become real standouts by harvest time. 📈 Current observations: Pheno #1 and #6 have finally started to catch up and are now slowly building buds as well 🌸 Pheno #5 continues to dominate the tent and has stretched to an impressive 130 cm The flower development on Pheno #5 is especially promising, with some bud sites already suggesting the potential for 25 cm+ colas if everything continues as planned 🔥 Pheno #2 and #6 are being overshadowed by the larger phenos and are clearly falling behind in overall size and vigor The structural differences between the phenos are now more obvious than ever, with some focusing on height while others remain more compact and bushy 💡 Environment & setup: The grow has now reached its current limits in terms of space and lighting: Light fixture raised to its maximum height Light intensity increased to 80% Summer temperatures pushing the tent up to around 32°C ☀️ Relative humidity averaging around 67% Despite the higher temperatures, the plants are still pushing forward and stacking flowers nicely. The next few weeks will be all about bud development, density, and resin production. 🏆 At the moment, Pheno #5 is definitely demanding attention, but there is still plenty of time for surprises. Sometimes the biggest plant doesn't end up being the best one, and that's exactly what makes a pheno hunt so exciting. 💬 Which pheno do you think will come out on top when harvest day arrives?

This was another very good week for the plants, with the flowers beginning to swell up and take shape. Some of the lower leaves are starting to yellow, but this is expected. As the light doesn't penetrate as far, the plant will begin to 'consume' those leaves and drop them to redirect energy to the tops. The canopy is fairly even apart from 1 small spot, which does not have any colas at all. This is due to me bending away the GSC that was topped, with the intention of the lower branches stretching up. This happened with all the other plants I did it to, but not this one for some reason. I think it was due to airflow around the budsites so I added an extra fan last week to hopefully improve this. The strongest looking plants by far are still the ones that were Topped with LST, followed by the mainlined, with only LST in last place. I have found that the LST only ones do not have stems as thick as the others, so this may impact yield later. Not much done in the way of training apart from the odd leaf bending or stem tying. The next few weeks will most likely be fairly uneventful, as now we just need to wait for them to flower fully :D

Ach ja, die Eiscreme-Zwerge werden weiter gefoltert... 😢 Nach dem Umzug in ihr neues Zuhause hat eine Zeitschaltuhr den Geist aufgegeben, sodass sie 5 Tage lang 24 h Licht bekommen haben. Das hat ihrem allgemeinen Wohlbefinden nicht gutgetan. Obendrauf kamen dann noch ein leichter Magnesiummangel durch ungeprimtes Kokos sowie kalte Außentemperaturen. Das Zelt wird nur durch die Lampe beheizt, daher wird es mittlerweile etwas kalt. Wir werden sehen, ob der gesamte Grow vielleicht doch umziehen muss. 😬 Als wäre das an Stress nicht genug, mussten die Damen dann auch direkt noch ihre Köpfe lassen, um das apikale Wuchsverhalten zu brechen. Außerdem sollen sie diesmal nur zu dritt ein relativ großes Zelt bewachsen. Lange Vegetationsphase, wir kommen! 😌 Wünscht den Mädels Glück! 👍

English version below Tag 91Grow: Tag 36 Blüte: Heute wurden erneut 25L gegossen mit weniger als 1L Drainage - Sie haben Durst! Wie immer waren nur ca 1,5ml Mag und Calc /L im 6,5PH Wasser. Ab ca Mitte der Blüte hebe ich den PH leicht an um die Nährstoffaufnahme von z.B. Mag zu fördern. Der Geruch ist extrem Süßlich! Vor allem beim Entfernen größerer Blätter haut einen der Geruch förmlich um. Sonst läuft der Grow recht Ereignislos weiter - es wird begonnen sich auf die Ernte vorzubereiten. Der Nachwuchs ist bereits im Anzuchtzelt. Tag 93 Groow: Tag 38 Blüte: Heute gab es nochmal ein letztes HST in Form von Abschnitt vieler Laubblätter um mehr Licht an die Blüten in der Mitte zu bekommen. Der Unterschied ist deutlich zu sehen! Das soll auch diese Blüten bei der Reifung unterstützen. Man kann erkennen, das der Herbst langsam einzieht - schöne pinke Verfärbungen sind jetzt sichtbar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 91 – Grow Day 36 – Flowering Phase: Today, another 25 liters were applied, with less than 1 liter of runoff — they are thirsty. As usual, the water contained only about 1.5 ml/L of Cal-Mag at a pH of 6.5. From around mid-flowering onward, the pH is slightly increased to support nutrient uptake, for example magnesium. The smell is extremely sweet — especially when removing larger leaves, the aroma is very intense. Otherwise, the grow is progressing without major events. Preparations for harvest have begun, and the next generation is already in the propagation tent. Day 93 – Grow Day 38 – Flowering Phase: Today, a final HST was performed in the form of removing many fan leaves to allow more light to reach the buds in the middle. The difference is clearly visible. This should also support the maturation of these buds. It is noticeable that “autumn” is slowly setting in — beautiful pink colorations are now becoming visible.

Girls started to put on a little bit more weight this week. I'm going to up the nutes next Reservoir change. I'm really enjoying the way these girls are growing. Two of the girls are leaning more towards the OG Kush side whereas the third girl stinks like hell. She has an extremely strong fruity diesel smell. I can't wait to try that one. I'm glad I took clones off that girl.

I am happy to announce a new beginning! This time there will be new genetics and seed banks that I haven't tried so far, so I'm very curious to see how it will turns out!🤞🏻☺️ Also it will be the second round for my beloved Runtz Muffin that i promised to bring it back.😁 Now I just need to wait until these seeds will go for 18 hours in a glass with water and then I will transfer them to the paper towel to make them germinate properly and finalize the process in their pots once the sprout stretches by at least 2-3 cm. ☮️💚 Happy growing and positive vibes to everyone 🙌🏻💚 ⚠️ 16-05-21 UPDATE ⚠️ Today i put these little girls into their 1L pots. Now I will let them grow here for at least 10-12 days before transplant them into the final pot (11L) ..See ya at the next update! Happy growing to everyone! ☮️💚 ⚠️ 17-05-21 UPDATE ⚠️ So the first ones to break the soil and reach the light was the Mimosa, K-Mintz and the Meringue. the Runtz Muffin is continuing to grow but still has not removed its seed from its head, which continues to be the slowest and still with a small sprout / root.. I'm sure that in the next few days it will be great together to her little sisters. That’s all for today..😊 See ya next time fam ☮️💚

One of my favorite strains to grow. This thing is a purple monster. Don't be afraid of supercropping autos. That's how I build ¼-½ pound plants regularly.

I've been having a tough time with shipping getting things I need to properly control my environment and running into issues. I have invested in a new; 4x5 Vivosun tent to give the bigger plants more room, a Spider Farmer 1000 ( MrCanucks, a guy I learned a lot from on YouTube did a paid trial of this product with pretty great results, thought I'd try compared to my current crappy LED.), Sizing down to 1 and 3gal fabric pots for a softer transplant transition next go around, the hygrometer/thermometers, some more appropriate sized fans for the tent ( Genesis clip on and treveda circulating fan) to help with general airflow. Overall I'm actually very happy with all my first set plants (the bigger ones), most seem to be producing multiple sites and growing bigger every day. Noticed the seedlings having trouble about two to three days ago at most. Honestly did not give them the attention they needed. First though it was nutrient deficiency or lockout, maybe, overwatering. Finally checked the soil good and seen how clay like and thick it had become, then took a few out their cups and seen the roots we're choking. I have a grow question up wondering whether I should try to save the seedlings or scrap them in favor of more light for the bigger plants that are obviously growing well? Until next week! Happy growing and much love to all! ✌️🌱 -UPDATE- So I ended up receiving my new Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED grow light and my two fans a bit ahead of schedule today! ☺️ Got the Treveda circulating fan and Genesis clip on fan. Reset all the plants to better benefit from the new gear and a couple other things. Need video I uploaded shows the most current setup. I moved all my bigger 1st set seed to the left side and hung the SF LED to about 20.5-21in from the tallest of the 4 of those plants. Most all are at least 9 inches. I moved the ring of the 1st set and seedlings to the right side under the Vivosun 600W at about 24in. Still haven't received much feedback on my grow question regarding my seedlings. Since I wasn't quite what to do, I ended up leaving them out of the cups and putting them in my germination tray. My hope is I can keep the plants surviving long enough off of regular sprayings and using the tray as a make shift nutrient reservoir until the soil and pots finally arrive. Scheduled to be here Wednesday, hopefully earlier like the light and fans 👍 Would love to hear all your feedback and opinions! Hope everyone is having good grows and good vibes!

Tons of fresh small growth is sprouting on the top canopy. Like a whole bush worth is starting fresh! It's going to be big by 10 weeks.
