Getting there... cant wait for Spring Walls are up and painted, floor is laid, electrical all done, exhaust outlets mounted. Ive started to install the trim - I decided to put a grey stain instead of boring paint on the floor trim boards. Looks really solid against the dark bamboo floors. I used two gallons and two coats of flat pure white paint for walls and ceiling. Should give me a reflectivity somewhere around 80%. Some may ask why not opt for mylar? I just dont like the look. I dont care too much for reflectivity, as I will be well above the required watts/sqft with the light setup I will be using. I mounted an electrical receptacle in the ceiling, I thought it may come in handy for cord management. Im going to mount the 3 x meanwell drivers outside of the grow room and run some extra long cables to them. This is to keep heat out of the room, any little bit helps. Will be running a 8inch fan with about 750 CFM in order to properly vent the room. Intake will be a door vent and the negative pressure the fan provides. Odor is not too much of a concern, but may as well add a carbon filter. Tables to be built this week after trim is installed Week 1 Spend - $2080 Week 2 Spend - $350 (mostly on hardware store visits) Total so far - $2430

Week 9 flowering

Welcome to my Royal Gorilla Diary This grow will join the RQS outdor grow contest at later time, I hope i get lucky and bugs won't eat it. After receiving contest box, i asked about germinating indoors, after confirmation i popped a seed in the soil. Germinated in pot indoors (gift pack was massive! see pics), after germination i put outdoor but i kinda forgot her. This one is growing together with a small tobacco plant to keep some unwanted insects away, i want to add some dill and coriander soon. So our royal gorilla is in her second week already, and she looks pretty healthy. Soil is reused soil with new fertilizers added to the soil. I'using a mixture of dried cow poop pellets and chicken poop pellets to give the soil some renewed power. Most of this is in the top layer of the soil (watering from above) so nutrients can be spread extra during watering. This should be enough for the first 6-7 weeks, so when the buds start to take shape we can start with adding some mineral nutrients in addition to the organic feeding.

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

The plants have been flushing for almost a week now. Really starting to change colors. I can't wait to see how much I get from them.

Feed log; D: 85 - 10L - Si,[4ml],Vega[4ml],Flores [47ml],INPUT; [1.638 EC],[6.0 pH],Ca/Mg[4.8g & 1.5g]- RUNOFF; 4.5L pH [6.3] ,[2.4 EC] Previous irrigation: D82 EC is still too high , will drop the input down to 1.3 next feed in an effort to get the root zone down to 1.8-2.0. I’ve cleared out the larf lower down in the canopy, so the top buds will be getting all the energy

Red Hot Cookies goes Indoor! 🍪💡 This week marked a big transition for my Red Hot Cookies photoperiod, as the relentless rain finally made me pull the plug on her outdoor run—for now. 🌧️ With more wet days on the horizon, I moved her into the grow tent, now running under a 300W LED to ensure the buds can develop in peace. She’s currently sharing the space with my two lovely Divine Seeds autos from the ongoing Divine Seeds V2.0 Competition, and the energy inside the tent is buzzing. ⚡🌱 Since the switch indoors, she’s adapting really well. 🌿 The buds are swelling visibly, and I’ve started to see a nice layer of early trichome frost forming on the sugar leaves. The scent is starting to develop—still subtle, but promising! However, I did notice some slight yellowing on the bottom fan leaves, which pointed to a nitrogen deficiency. Likely due to her strong structure and demanding flower phase, so I’ve increased BioBizz Grow slightly in this week’s feeding plan. Here’s what went into her care routine this week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow, Bloom & TopMax (standard dosage, with Grow slightly increased) 🔸 CalMag support for water hardness 🔸 Alg-a-Mic for overall vitality and stress resilience 🔸 Effective Microorganisms added to enrich microbial life 🔸 Homebrewed compost tea for extra soil life and root stimulation 🔸 pH: 6.5, carefully adjusted with BioBizz pH- 🔸 EC: 2.0, right in the sweet spot for mid-flower ✂️ On Day 21 of flower (10/07), I performed lollipopping to clean up the lower growth and focus energy upward She’s now officially in Week 4 of flower, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s shaping up. Indoors she’s finally getting the light and airflow she deserves—no rain, no pests, just a controlled environment and full focus on fattening those buds. Let’s see how the next weeks unfold! 🔥🌿

finally the scorching sun came having moved the plants from under the canopy outdoors a downpour created a bit of mold in a small part of the skywalker and also to the little cherry i later removed it and sprayed the plants with garlic infused water now i'm the bomb i'm fertilizing with long awaited organic vermicompost, the plants are perfect, i think i will delay the harvest for the cherry to make it gain a little more weight at the expense of the flavors the flavors are amazing absurd...i ordered some clones by freakshow humbolt seeds I also made new transfers with old seeds tried to germinate and they went splendidly.honey cream and special queen by royal queen seeds

2 mal füttern 👍

just put in the other growbox where I can keep the humidity lower the pH meter has stopped working so now I can only rely on the "pH perfect tecnology" until I get the litmus papers 😕 the flowers are starting to grow and become covered with resin ... seeing it grow gives a wonderful feeling 😍

FBA 2025 turned Frostbanger was a fun grow in many ways. First, my friend gifted me the seed and I grew outside while she grew inside. It was fun to watch the plants grow in different settings and different growing methods. If you have been following me, then you know our weather has been crazy here. We have had lows of 50* and highs of 90*. We had a hail storm and lots and lots of rain. Today, I was. forced to take my Frostbanger down. I found a couple of buds rotting and it is supposed to rain for the next 4 days, so this grow has come to an end. But first, true to Frostbanger's description, "Just keep in mind, this strain’s dank, pungent odor is super strong—meaning a carbon filter is a must to mask the aroma in any grow room and she’ll make her presence known when grown outside" and boy did my backyard smell. Also, just like its name, it is a "trichome-studded beauty." Sticky, sticky, sticky. It also had a nice fruity smell, almost like a cantaloup. I like to wet trim, so I spent the past 2 days trimming. My wet bud weight is 102.19 ounces. Not A big harvest. Had to throw away some bud rot and I had to take this plant down early --But that is how a hail storm, cold weather, hot weather, Rain and more rain will effect a harvest. I'm happy to be somewhat successful. FYI: today's weather: It has rained 2.05 inches in the past 24 hours and expecting 1.6 inches in the next 24 hours.. I am pretty proud of Frostbanger's cola as it is 10 inches long and approximately 9 inches around. Wish I could have seen it with 2 more weeks of growth. I may not have the growing experience of others, but I am super happy with this grow and glad I could enter a contest. It was fun!

Running with tap water now.

This week went a lot better than last, although still not optimal. After last week's transplant they all did well, as you can see in the time lapse. They do all have one or more deformed leaves and a slight calcium deficiency but look otherwise healthy. Increased base water (RO+calmag) EC from 0.3 to 0.4, feeding 0.7EC in total. At the end of the week, the root systems looked very well developed and I transplanted them into their final 5L pots. Decent so far.

Wao some.of them.just went crazy. Their name is showed so 3 of them I know. Those are the biggest ones FBT 31 - Stawberry Pie, FBT 32 - Lemon Pie and FBT 35 - Gorilla Cookies. They started growing crazily. LST is done. It is too hot inside some leaf burnt but I removed summer time outsode is 3p degrees so it raises up the temperature inside as well.

Se da fin a este cultivo de 2 variedad en carpa de 80x80 por 240w. La primera variedad ya en proceso de curado es la Green crack punch (5plantas) tuvieron buen crecimiento, pasaron por 2 transplantes ( 3lt a 7lt) muy rico sabor se llega a sentir los terpenos de cada cogollo. No es todo, en este mismo espacio nos quedan aun las 4 powerFlower, las cuales estos dias se iran de corte para preparar el secado y posterior curado. 5 Green crak punch

Esa familia, 2 semana de floración, salió un macho, espero no llevarme más sorpresas por lo demás todo prosigue igual están tirando preflores hembra y pues ahí van el armario grande tuve que practicar un crooping en las puntas para que no se me fuesen de altura mucho y así estimulo las ramas laterales a tirar hacia la luz. Alimentación normal bases y big bud con bud candy , yo creo que algo sencillo y básico que les sienta fenomenal a las plantas. Iremos viendo El Progreso estas semanas a ver cómo va esta variedad que tal rinde. Buenos humos familia

Heute sehen meine Ladys meiner Meinung etwas unmotiviert aus, aber das liegt daran das es seit gestern Abend nonstop am Regnen ist. Ich habe heute nochmal etwas LST angewendet, ich hoffe das war kein Eigentor und die Babys mit Brennesseljauche besprüht. Also bis jetzt hin muss ich ehrlich sagen das ich mit den Dünger von Bio Nova sehr zufrieden bin, ja gut laut schema pk 13/14 in der zweiten Woche hätte jetzt net unbedingt sein müssen, aber läuft gut, nur mit den Preis verhältnisse von GHE Urtica bin ich net zufrieden, dass geht aufjedenfall günstiger..... Ist ja stinknormale Brennesseljauche, aber das nächste kaufe ich wo anders aus Deutscher Produktion und da kriege ich für den Gleichen preis 3 l statt 1l, natürlich kann man die auch selber machen... Aber die Faulheit siegt😅🤷‍♂️🏽

Great stuff
