Amazing strain, very easy to grow and hope to do do more Royal gorilla auto in the future and see what else RQS have to offer. Absolutely solid buds and potent asf. Taste is 9/10. thc I would say 20%+. I also used terpinator in weeks 7 and 8 at a rate of 4ml/l which I didn't list in my diary. I'm sure this contributed to the density of the buds. I will use terpinator alongside advanced nutritions range for all future plants.

Into week 10, well past the estimated 6 - 8 weeks to harvest time from the online stats, looks like i have a few more weeks to go until they are ready. There has been some expected leaf drop from the lower canopy, the signs of it autumning off are appearing, but all is going well and the buds are developing nicely so far. I started a timelapse a couple of weeks ago in the tent and i've left it to run untill the end of the grow, will be interesting to see how it turns out, i'll upload that on the harvest page. 20/11 Had a slight misshap as i was inspecting the plants and bent a stem over 😱 I utilized two matchsticks and some masking tape to splint it up again, the repair is holding nicely 😬 I've documented the repair and uploaded the video for posterity. 23/11 Fed 2 plants 1/4 tsp molasses 1ltr filtered water @6pH, ec200 with just molasses, just to see if there is any positive effect. Trichomes are just starting to appear. Defoliated the lower canopy, cutting all the smaller buds not getting any light and upper fan leaves to allow more light and energy to hit the main buds.

Just trying to decide on purchasing terpinator or rock resinator?? I have a few weeks left of flower and would love to take them to the next level-though the only thing I think that needs to improve is the size of the buds

I forgot to setup the cam for week two after adjusting the height. Oh well maybe next week. Ghetto lights again, full spectrum with some FL. LED has a 2400RPM fan on a 5LBs heat-sink it gets hot AF like 400 watts all lights from the wall. Three Types of White Light-emitting Diodes on same grow warm, neutral, and cool, with 11%, 19%, and 28% blue light, respectively. Overall, the low blue light from warm white LEDs increased stem elongation and leaf expansion, whereas the high blue light from cool white LEDs resulted in more compact plants. Initial growth under cool white LEDs should promote the growth of short, sturdy hypocotyls. Subsequent transition to warm white LEDs should promote leaf expansion. Finally, after canopy closure, cool white LEDs should be used again to prevent excessive stem elongation. These effects could also be obtained by modulating the electrical current to red and blue monochromatic LEDs, achieving different blue ratios without the requirement for two sets of LEDs. Cool white LEDs may be the light source of choice because their high percentage of blue light (25%) means that they can meet the blue light requirements for normal development, even at low PPFs. Furthermore, measurements indicate that cool white LEDs are more electrically efficient than the neutral and warm white LEDs. The efficiency of LEDs is rapidly increasing and is approaching the efficiency of HPS lamps.

Flushing has begun! GG4 is looking good, trichomes are about 5-10% amber. Her buds are heavy, I've got to try the beaches up to support them or they twist downward. Good smell, good size to the buds, count down to harvest!! Thanks for looking at my grow! 👽🌳

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more light penetration. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there wasn't much change Some new growth..the colas are stacking nicely which is good. Hope they stretch some more still.. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

week 3 is a tough rn not gonna lie shes yellowing extremely fast and shes begging me for potassium. i was just giving her 2 tsps to 3 gallons of water. as of today (jan 8 2022) i gave her a feed of 1 and 1/4 bloom and 1/4 veg nutes to try to fight the yellowing. i honestly dont know if that was the right thing to do most threads i read just said to add some nitrogen but idk if dyna gros bloom and grow are meant to be mixed. especially this late in flower. either way its too late i already gave it to her i guess now all i can do is wait and see what happens. you can see how fast the yellowing is happening too.

Day 60F The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good. Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop. Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest. Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks. Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks. Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop. Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest. Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks. I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience. I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.

DE: In der achten Blütewoche erreicht Last Dance ein Stadium, das kaum noch in Worte zu fassen ist. Die Pflanzen wirken wie komplett überzogen von Kristallen, die Farben brechen durch, und die Terpene explodieren in einer Komplexität, die man nur bei echten High-End-Genetiken erlebt. Alles an diesen Pflanzen schreit: Finale – Premium – Elite. Phänotyp 1 – Der dunkle Funkgott Der Black-Magic-lastige Phäno läuft jetzt auf absolutem Endlevel. Die Sugar Leaves sind so dicht gefrostet, dass sie fast weiß erscheinen, während zwischen den Kelchen tiefe, dunkle Violett- und Schwarzgrün-Töne hervorkommen. Diese Farbkontraste wirken wie perfekt abgestimmt – als hätte die Genetik genau für diesen Moment designed worden. Die Buds sind jetzt maximal geschwollen: Die Kelche drücken sich übereinander, die Harzdrüsen stehen wie kleine Diamanten hervor, und die gesamte Textur wirkt dick, kompakt und schwer. Aromaentwicklung in Woche 8: Die Gassigkeit ist noch tiefer geworden, bekommt aber jetzt eine warme, dunkle Süße dazu. Noten von fermentierter Beere, altem Hash, tiefem Wald und schwerem Funk verschmelzen zu einem Terpenprofil, das wirklich nur Top-Tier-Phenos erreichen. Beim Anfassen bleiben dicke ölige Harzspuren an den Fingern – klassisches Zeichen für extrem hohe Harzproduktion und Potenz. Phänotyp 2 – Der saftige Zangria-Phantom Der fruchtigere Phäno blüht in Woche 8 optisch komplett auf. Die Pink- und Lilatöne sind jetzt viel deutlicher geworden und ziehen sich teilweise sogar in die Kelche hinein. Der Frost-Level ist so hoch, dass die Buds wirken, als wären sie von einer dünnen Glas-Schicht überzogen. Aroma in Woche 8: Das Terpenprofil ist inzwischen eine Symphonie aus: dunkler Traube, süßer Rotwein-Note, tropischen Früchten, frischer Kirsche und einer leichten Zitruswürze im Nachklang. Es ist nicht mehr „fruchtig“ – es ist komplex, schwer, dicht und riecht wie ein komplett eigener Signature-Terpenmix, der selten in dieser Form vorkommt. Beim Öffnen des Zelts mischt sich dieses Zangria-Bouquet mit dem dunklen Funk des ersten Phenos – ein absolut einzigartiges Erlebnis. Gesamteindruck Woche 8 – Der Höhepunkt vor dem Finale Jetzt in dieser Phase ist die Pflanze auf ihrem Zenit: - Buds komplett geschwollen - Farben brechen maximal durch - Trichome glasig-milchig, erste Amber-Punkte sichtbar - Aroma extrem komplex und deutlich intensiver - Harzanteil auf beeindruckendem Niveau – selbst Stängel sind sticky Die Pflanzen sehen aus wie Showcase-Material für eine Breeder-Website. Blick auf Woche 9 – Der perfekte Zeitpunkt zum Spülen In der kommenden 9. Blütewoche beginnt das Final Flush. EN: Week 8 – The Last Dance Showcase Phase By the eighth week of flowering, Last Dance enters a stage that’s almost impossible to capture with words. The plants look fully crystallized, the colors break through aggressively, and the terpene expression becomes so layered and complex that it feels like a signature masterpiece of high-end genetics. Everything about these plants says: Final stretch – premium – elite cut potential. Pheno 1 – The Dark Funk Titan This Black-Magic-leaning phenotype is now performing at absolute top-tier level. The sugar leaves are so heavily frosted they appear nearly white, while deep violet and dark forest-green tones push through the calyxes. The contrast is insane – almost cinematic – as if the strain was bred exactly for this late-flower moment. The buds are now at maximum swell: Calyxes stack aggressively, trichomes stand tall and dense like crystals, the entire flower mass looks heavy, tight, and fully matured. Aroma development in Week 8: The gassy core has become darker and richer, now wrapped in warm, heavy sweetness. Notes of fermented berry, old-school hashish, deep forest funk, and that unmistakable dark Black Magic spiciness fuse together into a terpene profile only elite phenos deliver. Touching the buds leaves thick, oily resin streaks on your fingers — a classic indicator of extremely high potency and mature resin glands. Pheno 2 – The Juicy Zangria Phantom The fruit-forward phenotype hits full visual bloom in Week 8. Pink and purple hues become more pronounced, bleeding slightly into the calyx tips. The frost level is so extreme the buds look like they’re coated in a thin sheet of glass. Aroma in Week 8: This terpene profile is now a full symphony of: dark grape, sweet red wine, tropical berry, fresh cherry, and a citrusy sparkle in the finish. It’s not “fruity” anymore — it’s deep, layered, complex, and genuinely rare in its structure. When you open the tent, the Zangria bouquet blends with the dark funk of Pheno 1, creating an aroma that feels completely unique and unmistakable. Overall Impression Week 8 – The Peak Before the Finale At this stage, the plant is on its absolute zenith: - Buds fully swollen - Colors breaking through in maximum intensity - Trichomes milky with scattered amber - Aroma dramatically intensified and highly complex - Resin production at showcase level — even stems feel sticky The flowers look like something straight from a breeder’s promotional photoshoot. Looking Ahead to Week 9 – The Final Flush In the upcoming 9th week, you begin the final flush. This stage ensures: a clean fade of excess nutrients, boosted terpene purity and clarity, smooth, clean-burning ash, and the highest possible quality for your final product. During the flush week, colors often deepen even further, buds harden up, and the aroma becomes sharper, more defined, and unmistakably finished.

The best plant I have grown so far. 64 grams for 3.7 liters (1 gallon). Drying for 8 days. Dead at 92 days of life, practically the rhythm of an automatic with powerful results. Flush in the last week, very light. Two separate times 4 days before harvest.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo esta a 12/12 para floración. Las jodidas estiraron bastante, y es algo que no me gusta de todas las F1, que cultive hasta ahora. El olor que desprende es muy peculiar es muy dulce y empalagoso, a mi parecer, no pinta nada mal. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
