This week has been sunny, hot and wet. I have not done a thing except to keep an eye on Miss Gorilla Cookies. It has been a hot and rainy week and I did not feed this plant this week. That is why I did not record Ph levels and PPM, etc this week. I have really wanted to give this diary an honest, straight up review of Gorilla Cookies growing in whatever Mother Nature threw her way. She is tall and thin but has a lot of bud growth. I am eager to see how big her buds will get. One thing that I have not been super pleased with is using Miracle Grow as a nutrient. This outside grow was an experiment using Miracle and not my typical Fox Farm nutrients. At this point in my grow, Miracle Grow needs to remain for garden vegetables and flowers NOT cannibas. As a result, I have made an Executive Decision and will going add some @Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the remainder this grow. @Hindugod and I have been growing our Gorilla Cookie plants simultaneously and his plants look thicker than mine do. His weather has not been as hard on his plants as I have had here in Virginia. He is also using different nutrients. It is fun watching these 2 Gorilla cookies grow differently and the same:) Stay tuned to next week and comments are always welcome. Thanks for visiting--susquihanna

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

In future I must take not that lamb’s Breath can thrive in cold conditions, but I am going to witness if the growth will accelerate or just level out with the coming of spring. Week 6 starts with a mild weather but in a couple of days a cold front makes land fall in Jozi and the last brought snow, but my babies survived and look at the love of my life, showing aggression when it comes to growth… I wonder if the transplant and the extreme cold will hinder growth, nature does miracles in front of us on a daily. She’s loving the compost mix, hopefully she will love her new home, if my calculations are right, all I have to do is only add nutrient only when I defoliate. The amount of nutrients in this medium is boardline toxic.

Potted up four gorilla girl xl in to 5 gal pots, using plagron light mix.🇬🇧 moistened the The soil gently in advance with 1l regular tap water and 4ml root juice. Using gloves pushed the seed just under the soil. dusted over With a bit more soil, added A tiny bit more water gently as possible and finally covered with humidity domes *Day 2, all four seeds germinated over night, chuffed! removed Humidity domes *Day 3, Two of the Four seeds are expressing yellowing, one just Having 1 yellow leaf. I’m guessing this was down to the seed case partially being stuck. and or bad ph. Ph up and down on route. *Day 4, mixed up a litre of cal-mag buffed Tap water, left out to dechlorinate/come to room temp and watered accordingly. Plant’s #1 and #2 progress. Plant 3# yellow leaf dropped. Plant 4# stunted but think she’ll be ok *Day 5, gave mini feed bio- grow and cal-mag then ph to 6.0. I changed the light cycle to 18hrs on, 6 off also *Day 6, possible nitrogen toxicity:/, just water from now

Day 56 ( 16 Flowering): I am in love with their appearance in this grow. They look surreal with their black smeared leaves and the contrast against the white pistils adds a dimension I have never seen in my grows before . They have been getting on with it quite happily and as the quickest to flowering and harvest according to their info , they should finish this week !!!. l I am glad that this is not the case and they have at least 2 weeks for sure. They smell so berry now , I cannot wait to smoke the finished article. #1 The LOS girl is short and building her stacked buds now. She doesnt lookalike she will be a huge yield but her buds are beauties. I think I could have let her go without lst for a taller girl. #2 is trained a little but not tied up the same as other in the grow. she has a good size to her and her buds look amazing too. #3 Was the pale rubbery girl until the Mega Crop got busy making her green again. She is now quite a big lady and has had to move moved under the TSL-2000 to keep her happy without super cropping her. She is absolutely covered in small budlets

12/6/22 Day 49: Starting to see preflower she is really starting to stretch now! She doesn't like to be fed very much actually less than anything i have grown so its been kind of a learning curve 🙃. Fed yesterday with nutes but will probably use plain water next 3 waterings... ph has evened out to about 6.2 and ec runoff is 2.8 and ppm is right at about 1390

Been a busy week, everything is looking good I still have 1 that is behind and still recovering. Potted into 6.5L pots. Vpd is in range but does fluctuate. Gonna back the EC off a little as i find it to be high in nitrogen in places I don’t like doing plain watering so I shall lower the ec and do a little extra run off Midweek so some good recovery from transplanting everything looking good still environment perfect backed off the nutrients added a water butt and and air pumps to the room. Later week update, all these ladies are thriving in there environment really healthy plants, I need to get rid of the shite from the early growth when they were fresh cuttings now. The branching has exploded now these girls take about a week from topping to get back to full growth rate under these led lights other than that all good. 🌱

The size of the cola on this plant is wild. I did defoliate this week to get better air movement and more light to the buds. I'm excited to see the yield!

The plant is drinking over 3 gallons of water every day. I’ve lowered the PPM’s to 600. Everything seems to be ok now. I will try to change the reservoir water every 5 days from now on. She started to smell amazing! Very lemony 🍋 P.S. Lowerd the TDS to 550 PPM on day 46. Also just realized that I stressed my plan with to much light. I moved the light at 13” and dimmed to 95% ... I will continue to dim it 2% every day...

Beginning of week.. Still waiting on these damn pistils to finish up.. Trichomes are still looking pretty clear for the most part.. Plenty of milky but Id rather have a little amber starting and still seeing mostly milky/cloudy.. Not in it for the clear trichomes lol.. I prefer the couchlock effect more anyway. I have read that i stead of counting flower as the day of flipping to 12-12 because outdoor growers have to wait till they see flower starting.. Which can take up to 2 weeks after flipping to 12-12.. So I guess adding 2 more weeks to what I thought.. So.. Expert Seeds say the longest she could take is 64 days.. We are beginning week 7 of flower if we look at it that way then.. Which would mean that today is only day 49 or so... 63 days will be about 9 weeks of flower... Some shit like that.. Ugh. I should keep better track of the days lol. I could just do it by the weeks.. But I feel like this strain is already going way longer than she should have. I can tell the end product is WORTH THE WAIT for sure!!! .. Later that day.. Ok so I went ahead and mixed a batch of pH'd water with some General Hydroponics FloraNectar Fruit-N-Fusion.. 1qt of water with 2ml of the mix... I'm hoping to stop the yellowing from spreading to the buds at this point since I need to push her another 2 weeks, at least! Hopefully it will help the terpene profile also.. It smells like it should lol.. This stuff smells delicious.. I cant wait to see what it does when used throughout an entire flower cycle.. Not all stupid like I did this time lolol.. Just not trying to add anymore salt nutes.. Or any nitrogen I guess since its getting closer to harvest.. I wish I would have been using it the last 2 weeks at least.. Oh well.. Live and learn!.. Mid week.. Ive been still watering with Flora Nectar FruitNFusion in pH'd to 6.1 tap water during the day.. And just pH'd to 6.2 tap water that is left in the fridge to be able to water with cold water at lights out.. Not doing much to this strain.. But my other strain is turning super purple! Its so pretty! Im actually trying to create some feminized pollen from a cut from this plant. Its such a heavy yielder and super dank asf.. These nugs could break rocks lol.. Rock fucking hard.. Anyways.. Just waiting till she's ready to be harvested! End of week.. She has fattened up some this week. I should have never flushed so early lol. Live and learn tho.. Smells are lingering alot longer than they were before.. Now the whole house smells everytime I pic her up for watering and daily inspections lol.. She is slightly turning colors.. Reds.. Pinks.. Some purple.. Done with this week.. On to the next!...
