This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Zamnesia Mango Kush continues to smell and is very sticky. It is tall and with packed buds It should be ready to take down in a couple of weeks. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

She's almost ready to come down and the flowers are pretty nice size, with good trichome build-up. She smells funky but creamy sweat.

Veg: She got a long 5 months 1 weeks of growing and growing so big. Kept the feeds up and she drunk everything she got given to her, kept drinking and drinking them foods. I gave her the growth technology grow for the first 4 months of veg and the last month I gave her both growth technology grow/bloom, hydro Coco grow for the last month of veg stage. Gave her so much HST in month 3-4, just kept topping wherever I could, bending her over wherever I could. Really trying the stress her out to make her stretch and stretch. Started to see some real growth in her in the last month of veg stage, just seeing her doubling in size every week till we got in to some true flowering. Flowering: so we got about 8 1/2 weeks of flowering which was amazing. At the beginning of week one we saw some little flowers and by the end of that week we had some beautiful flowers starting to appear. I start pumping as much bloom feed in as I could I was still giving her the grow feed, but slowly bring them down by the end of week 2. We got some amazing weather other these weeks of flowering were we saw these bud truly start to go bigger and bigger, maybe the weather was a bit to hot for the plant at some points in the early flowering as we got some leafs burn from intends sunlight in the greenhouse. In week 3 we had a weekend of extreme heatwave over the country hitting highs of 34c witch in the greenhouse was getting up to 45-50c too hot!!! The water system failed on this weekend as well, what really hit her hard. I did think we was going to loose her that day when I went to see her. From that day I think we all realized that we have to keep a good check on the watering if the days were going to be so hot. I took all the small stems off the plant and really open up the bottom so we could get some more airflow over these really hot weeks we had, it was amazing to get this weather in the UK. Week 4 we did really start to see them buds coming everywhere, the middle of the plant was stretching. By the end of week 4 I think she did stop stretching and started to fatten up. I cut the growth feed out in the end of week 2 but I think I should of kept it up with the bloom feed till we got in to week 4. We was loosing a lot of leaves all over the plant when we got to the end of the stretch, so I pumped her some growth feed with all the same feeds she was on at the beginning of week 5. We did see a lot of leaf improvement all over the plant, with new growth on all the main clones. This played a big part in getting them buds fatter and fatter. Getting to the end of week 5 I stop the growth feed and just gave her more bloom and pk boost double. We really did see some buds popping up everywhere which was amazing and we had no real popcorn corn buds cause of opening her up. Week 6 she was drinking and drinking up everything we would give her no problem, got to get so much food in to her. She must of drunk over 30l of feed mixture doubled in this week. Started to look a lot bushy all over. When we hit week 7 them buds were fat and starting to lean around everywhere so had to give a bit more support, I tide the main clone to the four main canes and then tide all the side clones to wherever I could. She still drunk 25l of double mixture over this week and the temperature in the nights was getting so low this week it would of been getting to 8-14c, then greenhouse did still get nice and hot during the day up to 18-26c

11/17 started the flush until harvest, plain well water with ph between 7.3 to 7.6. Half gallon a day This plant is medium size for the 6 in the tent. Buds are large and dense, gorilla is a great genetic for yield, i expect a surprise on yield given what I can see.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Heute ist die erste Blütewoche in das Land gezogen Sie hat in der ersten Blütewoche einen moderaten Stretch von knappen 10 CM hingelegt. Der Wuchs ist sehr kräftig und die Pflanze bleibt bis jetzt sehr homogen. Außerdem habe ich nun nochmal die Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten und die unteren Triebe auf etwas 1/3 der oberen Höhe zurück geschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne Wuchsform😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 25°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,04 kPa ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

It's been 28 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC
