Day 130 – Harvest Day | Sweet Seeds – Gorilla Girl Today marks the official harvest of our Gorilla Girl by Sweet Seeds – exactly 130 days from seed. The plant finished strong, with dense, resin-covered buds and a very intense aroma that exploded in the final days. Based on her structure and the weight of the colas, we’re expecting a solid yield. Final Techniques: Last 2 weeks: Only clean, purified water (flush stage) Last 3 days: Complete darkness Twice during the dark period: Placed 2 kg of ice directly on the soil The effect was noticeable — right after the ice melted, the smell intensified dramatically, and the trichomes looked even more frosty and swollen. Throughout the entire grow, she was fed with the Xpert Nutrients line, and the results speak for themselves — healthy growth, strong structure, and top-quality flowers. Big thanks to Sweet Seeds for the outstanding genetics and to Xpert Nutrients for reliable support all the way from seed to harvest. Now we move on to drying and curing — can’t wait to share the final weight and smoke report soon!

dear grow community, I report back with the fifth week of my Northern light auto grow. This week my plants have started to flower. They have grown extremely well and I have a lot of fun taking care of them. I have now stopped using LST as I want the plants to grow upwards. I have also changed my fertilizer. I also changed my sodium vapor lamp from veg to flower. I'm looking forward to see my babies flower and hopefully produce big buds. I just wanted to say that I am extremely satisfied with the strain so far, it is a strong genetics and has responded very well to LST. best wishes absolutgrow Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

4/26 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS. WOW. They've exploded in growth in after watering. I came to a plant that was a little limp as it got bigger top heavy. I weighed the cup and it seemed to be in range. I just mounded up soil around it and "spritzed" the soil I just added (as it was dry as fuck. That worked for the other one and it's doing great now. Im wondering if this plant is drinking less water than the rest of the plants. I think I may have given it slightly less water due to its weight. Either over or underwatering (it would HAVE to be underwatering) OR the taproot might be caught in that jiffy pellet net. That was my only thought. I didn't do a very good job of ripping thos nets at transplant and with these little amounts of water I could see it taking longer to degrade. I'm waiting until morningvto check on it. Girls are taking off! UPDATE: Went back over at 3pm and everything was even bigger. The one plant that was drooping that I added soil too is doing fine. I weighed a dry cup of soil then weighed that plant and it was within 40 grams. I think everything's good. I was going to slow the water down on that one but I'll check tomm when I water. 4/27 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS. Everything is exploding in growth. I filled in some more soil on my 10th planet cups. They are growing very fast. I have one purple punch that seems to be growing at a much slower pace. It may get culled or given away if it doesn't pull out. I have an idea it probably has something to do with the netting on the jiffy pots not degrading or something because I'm giving so little water. I'll start nutes once they get bigger (at half dose). That piece of seed is still stuck to the stalk of the plant that is behind in growth. I sprayed it and I'll keep an eye on it. I don't want to damage the stalk if I can help it. UPDATE: Went back over at seven and everything looked great. I don't know how but it seems they get significantly bigger I'm a matter of 12 hours. I think I'm going into 3's with these next. I'm picking up the soil for that tomorrow. I'll wait a little bit before I give them anything. Even silica. If it's not broke don't fix it. 4/28 Plants are exploding in growth. The other one I thought might be dampening is completely fine. I'm going to hold off on nutes. I'm unsure whether to transplant to 1's or 3's. I'm leaning towards 3's but I want them good and rooted before a transplant. I asked my buddy amd he said to hold off on the silica, or other nutes. Frogs got plenty especially since I'm only wateringva shot glass every other. I can tell they're goingvto need more soon. Grabbing soil today but won't be wins plants until I cam squeeze the cup and feel it full of roots. Next time clear cups in solo cups 4/29 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SOLO CUP BUT THE LITTLE PLANT. That plant has a piece of seed stuck to the stalk and I was wondering if that could be tge problem. After no results spraying for several days I attempted to remove it. Plant fell side ways. I propped it up but I'm probably gonna cull this one soon. I think roots may be caught in jiffy net. Everything elsecis FLOURISHING! Grabbing soil fircthe next transplant Monday. I just want to make sure everything is rooted REAL GOOD before any transplant occurs. 4/30 Holy Shit!! Plants literally grew at least an inch overnight after watering! Things are going great. One purple punch seedling is behind but that's ok. It will either catch up or it won't. I poisoned the inside of the cage where thecearwigs were and applied a 12 month barrier spray on the wood. Hopfully this will solve my earwig problem. Man I'm getting excited! I don't have HUGE clones but I've got GREAT GENETICS and no pests! I'll take it 5/1 It's been raining for days. I wasn't going to water today after my conversation with a friend but I DID water each plant but the small purple punch with a shot glass. They have taken off at an incredible pace. It's like they're growing inches in a day. Planning on grabbing soil and the remaining pots I need. Also need to take everything out of grow cage, sterilize bags and move the cage itself. 5/2 Plants are growing at an incredible pace. Even the little purple punch that was stunted is standing up all on its own looking strong. Zoom in on the stalks. They're thick af. Must be the HPS light lol. Oh well they'll be going in 3 gallon pots in a week or so. And then to their forever home. Man I love growing weed.

No more base nutrients. Just feeding with extra Boost and a small bit of PK. I will reduce this further nearer to chop. I think this is the last week now. 2 girls have maybe another 2 weeks to go. But the other 26 are almost done. 2 different phenos. 1 is shorter and compact. Finishing quicker. The other wants to stretch and finish a week or so after.. Both smell like grapes, black current, lemon and a touch of deisal. Very beautiful! Reduced the light today. 11hrs light. 13hrs dark Much love Peace 💚

12-20 Watered both about a gallon. Plain ph. Shoulda maybe added cal/mag . But next time. 3x seemed to burn a little, then some cal/mag issues. 3x is living up to her crosses. She smells like straight gas/fuel. Scc just seems happy. Just took some pictures of that weirdo on her. 😂 Well my first Polyploid, its pretty neat. She is also an oxymoron, she has a sweet stink. 😂 😁😻🤘 12-22 1 gallon Scc only. 5ml cal/mag, 1 ml drops, 1/2 tsp recharge. 12-23 Wanted to double check myself. Ppm 500ish. On 3x. Gave cal/mag 5ml, drops 1ml, and top dressed 1 tbs buildaflower. Might not be enough but we shall see. Happy Holidays 😁🤘 12-24 Watered Scc 3 liters. 1/8th tsp bloom booster, 5ml cal/mag, 1 ml drops. 3x is Hungry AF. May run into some trouble here. 😂 12-26 Scc got ph6.5 bloom booster, cal/mag 5ml and drops 1 ml. 3x is so hungry, I found some tiger bloom I had, idk if its any good. 😂 Gave a bloom booster and some tiger bloom. Was at 700 ppm, then I got scared and diluted it to 550 ppm. Also has some cal/mag and drops. Recharge. Gotta watch her close. 🤞

Suffered a little burn, but flushed it and voila, she is back up and running beautifully. Day 18/19 she has started spitting leaves out left right and centre. Can see little calyxes and hairs coming through. Really is coming along nicely The Critical is a photo period as you know, she too is coming along beautifully. Gonna veg her for 2-3 more weeks and begin flower for 6-8 weeks. Will do more updated on it.

22.06.25. Day 53 Buds are fattening up. In Purple Haze it is much quicker due to its short week grow time. You can see where the branch broke and recovered. Amazing! Ztrawberriez is drinking lots of water daily, maybe 2-3 liters. Heat wave predicted this week.

Day 42-49 (Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots. I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably. (Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet. (Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w. I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress. I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir. (Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping. For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted. (Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st. BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too. Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later. Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

i run in a bit calmag defiency i dont know why, my only guess is overwatering, other plant (tangiematic) didnt have this problem with same feeding. maybe the light was too close and burned a bit faster trough the calmag as it has 2.75 par.

Good week for this tent, everything looks good, seeing decent growth on these two girls. Look at those beautiful pistils! also notice they are almost as big as GB1 Im pushing this tent into Bloom in 9 days, nervous but excited. I fed them today, and I used tap water so let's see how this goes. my tap water tested at 8.0 PH after adding nutes it went down to 6.9/7 Which for me is high but i'm just going to trust my gut. I have been buying RO and distilled and i'm tired of having to pick up some jugs every few days. I'm pretty happy about this tent and excited to see how they transition. 👽 FEB6- switched timer on lights to 16/8 to ease the transition of 12/12. FEB10 UPDATE- girls look good, happy, switching to flower once I know if GB1 is female or not, hopefully everyone will enjoy the next life stage!!! check video for update!

At the end of past week a branch was broken from the longest plant. Also she got some burnt leaves because she was to close to the corrugated roofing. Every time I went away I was giving them shelter. Weather was unpredictable. Only got this video this week. The weather was getting better😀, but still cold nights.

pics from 20th and 22nd October 26th for lemon It's the second year ever for me, and I talked to some people because I still get 8g per plant, and it's because of the mainlining and toppings I do at wrong times, and also because an outdoor plant doesn't always get the perfect sunlight and energy to repair itself enough. so the stress might be it. next year I'll try bending the main stem and never doing topping

Hey growers! Another week finished today. I used cannaflush this week and will use just ph correct clean water next week before harvest. Hulkberry is a sticky beast! Tonnes of crystals on them! Amazing smell. Orange sherbert shows its indica dominance and smells like orange tic-tac 😁. Cant wait to cut them down. Lights will turn off in 6 days and plants will stay in dark last 48h before cutting them down. Cheers!

10/8 - Gave Willow her last feeding. Flushing from here on out. 10/9 - began flushing Buffy. It is looking like Willow will go for at least a week longer than Buffy. I am scrambling to figure out an alternative drying space/option. 10/11 - began flushing Willow 10/13 - I am guessing Buffy will be harvested in the next couple days. Willow looks to need another 7-10 days.
