This was my first ever grow and I am extremely proud of it. The nugs are dense and smell fantastic. The phenotypes on each of my plants were very unique, and each has its own smell. This did make it a little harder to care for the plants, but it ended up working out fine. I opted for a dry trim and did a tight manicure on the nugs. I plan on turning the trim into cannabutter using a sous vide machine.

Just a couple days to finish.. will update with dry bud pics and weights then. Stay tuned!

OK. Now it's getting tough. I actually did not think it was going toever be real ' work '.... but good gravy... this is hard on my new titanium knee!

Back on track today is Day 35. In the past I have fed lightly I dont like burnt tips but with the variety of strains in this grow with the co2 I bumped it up a little. Some strains like the Polar Vortex 6 are much more sensitive than some others so it was unavoidable. Other than the tips they are all doing pretty well. The Cherry kush mints in the 4x8 in my eyes is clearly a beast it had the shortest veg time and caught up to most of the big girls. Also its development has been impressive with a unique terp profile at this stage. The sleeper is the garlicane 5. I've grown most of these once or twice before but with the upgrades and the co2 that one has developed nicely and looks like it will put on some serious weight. Things will start to heat up over the next couple weeks. See my IG for some promo codes @bangdangbuds

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

I highly encourage newbies to run with this strain and don’t look back. Super tolerant that produces both yield and quality. Luckily I didn’t run into any deficiencies, disease, or pests. Temps and humidity where on point the entire run. The only neg would be these girls got wayyyy to tall. I had to remove light hangers to gain 5 inches. Even at that I had buds with 5 inches of a 1000w HPS HID. Hood is air cooled so heat wasn’t an issue but one plant def had light stress. Yield and quality is fantastic. I was hoping for a pound for no real reason other than is sounds cool to yield a full 16 ounces. Even more so than yield I was looking for top notch quality and I must say these girls made it. I’m not sure if they reach the 25% THC the strain is known for but either way the can’t be far behind. Smoke tests reveal a smooth smoke with a slight pungent gassy taste. High hit mid way thru lean cone With an energetic yet relaxing high. Lasted over two hours and I’m no light weight. Saved tones of larf nugs, sugar leaves and fans leaves for batches of butter and maybe some hash. Wife wants some fans leaves for a skin lotion. Overall a great run and next run of the 4 best plants is ready to go. Update 5 days after harvest. Buds are starting dry out but still have plenty of moisture. Prob another 5 days till dry. Smell is increasing by the day becoming really pungent. Canna butter came out awesome. Planning on making some bubble hash with sugar leaves and some larf. Update 8 days after harvest. Buds are dry enough for jars. Hanging buds weighed over 13 oz. Still have a bunch drying in racks After jarring for 8 hours, received a pungent odor. I think these girls are gonna stinkkkk. Hoping the taste is there. Potency is 👌. What a great first experience. Happy with this smooth run with no real issues. Can’t be happier with The product at the end. I made some canna butter and tincture. Wife made some skin lotion. I have bubble bags on the way and 2 ounces of leaf matter and an ounce of larf that’ll be going thru a bunch of washes. This growing this is for me. Tons of work and time but in the end it’s worth it.

Let’s go Day 36 !!! This week went real great, girls built up a lot of structure, and stayed super healthy ! Today they got fed just water phd at 6.5 ! They been really loving that balance! I also removed a lot of under trim since we are going into preflower , so had to shave up those legs lol ! It’s really great for them , the love that airflow , but don’t take off too much or you could shock your plants so be careful ! Can’t wait to see what these girls do this week ! Hope you all enjoy an are ready for another amazing productive week ! Peace , Love , an positive vibes to y’all Cheers LetsGrowwww!!! 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

Hi everyone, brothers farmers Welcome to a new week in the PeakyPlansters gardens. I invite you to follow all my friends from Instagram even if you like ... I hope the contents like you .... Feel free to leave a comment

Welcome to Week 6, Day 42 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow. All four of these lovely ladies are now fully into flower and the tent has filled up considerably. Even though this grow cycle is not going to produce the XL plants I was originally hoping for, this strain seems to have a lot of bud sites compared to other autos I have grown previously. Had these plants reached their full potential- I truly believe that this could/would have been a massive harvest. I fertilized them again in Week 6 with their final dose of a Grow based formula at 2 mls/gallon. They will be switched over a Bloom based fertilizer in Week 7 at a rate of 2.5 mls/gallon. I am still watering every 4th day and all four plants are receiving 3 litres each or 0.75 of a litre per plant per day. There is something killing off the foliage from the bottom up on the plant in the front of the tent on the left hand side. Not sure what the problem is so I am simply removing the dead/dying foliage as needed and hoping that she’ll have enough leaves to make it through to harvest. Mom’s Tip for Week #6- When it comes to Fertilizer- $Less$ = More… For me, successfully growing Cannabis indoors means trying to mimic what nature normally provides for free. Sun, fresh air, water and nutrient rich soil are all essential for healthy, happy plants. At some point during the grow (usually 4-6 weeks in) the plant has used up all of the nutrients originally present in the soil thus requiring the grower to have to supplement with some type of fertilizer. I see many growers photographing and showing off their huge displays of colourful bottles and I gasp when I read their long lists of 10-15 different fertilizers and supplements being added to every single batch of water. Not only is this unbelievably expensive and overwhelming but time consuming and completely unnecessary for a successful grow. For those seeking an Organic path there are options such as homemade compost tea or powdered formulas consisting of bat guano, glacial rock dust, bone meal, alfalfa meal, etc. I often use a Canadian made brand called “Gaia Green Organics", mixed in at the start to create my own super soil thus carrying the plants through their first 4-6 weeks of life needing nothing more than PH’d water. The organic fertilizers are usually more expensive and often have a slower uptake by the plants themselves as they tend to feed the soil first which in turn feeds the plants. For novice/newbie growers and those with fast flowering strains such as Autos- a non organic, liquid, water soluble fertilizer is often the way to go. They are generally cheap, easy to use and quickly taken up by the plants when they need it most. My ride or die brand is "Flora Nova” by General Hydroponics and it comes in a 1 part nutrient grow and bloom formula catering to my plants’ needs from start to finish. This company has many options available including all kinds of additional supplements to be used in conjunction with their standard grow/bloom formulas but I’ve never found these products all that necessary or beneficial. Using them in the past has led to over fertilization resulting in burnt foliage, stunted bud development and harsh flavours when smoking/vaping the final product. Not only does $Less is More$ apply to how many fertilizers you are giving your plants but it also applies to how much. Most photosensitive strains can easily tolerate a full dose (as per the manufacturer’s recommendations) and thrive with being fed every time you water. But Autoflowers and some smaller photosensitive strains seem to respond differently to a slight tweak- keeping in mind that if you start small, you can always add more but if you start big, you can’t take back what’s already been given. I will generally only fertilize at half of what the manufacturer recommends for a photosensitive strain- every other or every second watering. Starting out at a quarter dose for the initial feeding which can sometimes be as low as 1.25 mls per gallon and working my way up from there. It doesn’t seem like much but within hours I can see my plants responding positively with increased/sustained turgor, greening up a little and increased resin production which equals "smell/scent". For me, I can smell when I’ve just fertilized my plants- it’s a stronger smell than the normal scent that they give off with a plain watering. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up growing a greedy Autoflowering strain that seems to want more than what you’re giving it. Rather than increasing to a higher dose in a single feeding, try feeding more often at the same dose- so if you’re feeding every other or every second watering, try feeding every watering at the same dose (trying not to increase above half of the manufacturer’s recommendation for the photo strains). Occasionally I will increase beyond the halfway dose to accommodate for the plants’ needs in late flower as most fertilizer companies list an increase to adequately feed during late flower anyhow. I guess the main message for this week is to keep it simple as nature intended. Learn to read your plants and supplement the small amount of nutrients that your plants don’t already have in the high quality soil you initially provided. Cannabis cultivation can be overwhelming at first but the $Less is More$ approach will save you time, money and the realization that you’ve accidentally fried your plants!

Dia de riego, claramente una no se ve tan saludable como la otra, ya que bebe mas agua y necesita mas dosis de nitrógeno. Comenzare a regarlas con dosis por separado para reforzar a la mas débil.

Started some LST early in the week for the slightly older plant, then later in the week with the other two. I was going to let them go Christmas tree style, but I can tell already they will out stretch the others. Ended up just bending the top and tying with pant ties. This should promote some busier plants. Still figuring out the Correct Cronk Dosage, it’s pretty strong stuff, just trying to find the balance. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Well growmies ive been looking forward to the Cherry Cola , the more she went into flower the more the frost would build up , and that's when the terps came out and they came out strong , there no stealth for this girl 👉 Stinky 👈 Buds are tight and full of frost 👈 Couldn't of asked for better Genetics 😉 The smell coming from this girl during the entire grow was just dreamy 👈.... Can't say I got the Cherry smells but the fuzzy cola oh ya 😍 Amazing 👉 Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land 👈 Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14👉 All Weeks NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14👉 Weeks 2 & 3 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30👉 Weeks 4 to 8 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34👉 Weeks 4 & 9 & 10👌👌

Day 36: Feed this morning but kind of switched out Bud Blood for Igniter. The Buds are growing. My training skills are weak and I'm completely overwhelmed trying to even start defoliation. Kind of like an ok parent but don't care if your kids need a haircut and when you take em to the shop they cry when the barber combs to cut. Besides that though my 1st grow is pretty epic. Looking @ what I've been doing and seeing them from seed to what I have now. I don't know the formula for life but maybe this gives me The Blueprint. (D.O.C & Jay-z like). Observing and watching the light's and Temps. Trying to stay in that 85 degree 54% humidity range. Shout out to Weedexpress for checking my grow. All Seeds germinated!!! Day 37: Think I have been over-feeding my plants so fed them....lol yep just a solution of sensi-cal,Voodo, B-2, Superbud xfactor and mikes og tea......no more bud blood and gonna ride out with the igniter. Woke up an hour b4 they did and snatched each one out the tent and defoliated. Each one I spent about 20 minutes on defoliating and getting rid of bottom layer. They looked a bit lollipopish and getting ready to cast this net. I have some huge branches and some of the buds are starting to look like the picture you see in the grows. I really am appreciating the work that it takes and the thought behind growing. 9ish: starting some training and pulled the branches down, tied and put some trainers of 2 of my plants. I got plans to train my GC's since they are stretching. That canopy is pretty open so think gonna get good light inside canopy! Thinking about my next feeding 2morrow, which usually equates to when I get off work. I'm gonna stay with my veg base and go again with Bud Blood. I like the way it made my buds kind of dazzle into sun burst buds. I'm pretty dialed into my veg mixture and am going to start mixing in a 5 gallon jug only to ensure that I have enough for 2 feeds. My plants are really devouring these nutrients and have had very little nutrition burn. Trying to make sure that my root system is healthy so that I can get a decent yield to hold me over the winter. Of course with the winter comes the holiday season and what better gift to give 420 candy canes sprinkled with kief....these are a few of my favorite things!!!!! When the leaves shake When the Buds break I'm feeling crank I simply remember my favorite things And then I just smoke.... my dank!!!! Day 40: igniter definitely creates more bud blooms areas...my growth is so thick and the buds pretty big. Got a feeding lined up in the morning and probably gonna with heavy feeding and touch all my roots. Going heavy on igniter again. My grow lights beneath the canopy is doing amazing work as the buds beneath are also amazingly big. Also spay with a mix of Grease and Green Goddess maybe twice a day to keep nutrition in the foliage. Day 41 or 42 and possibly even 43: Somewhere but I'm in my 2nd week of flower and working this week on Igniting my grow b4 going into OverDrive. Gave an honest feeding a day later than normal. The Buds are popping and you can kind of see what the Bud Ignite is doing as far as the multiple bloom locations are a plenty. Went with the net but took back down, want more height and not disturb the current situation but have a feeling will need it a bit later to help with these heavy bud limbs! Day 47: So my babies have bigs buds and an issue. Defoliation day was ah coming and did I have to cut. Spent like 20 minutes on each plant cutting, 🍭 'n and manicuring. They are incredibly stout and stretching. Got a few more feeds b4 I flush so gonna stick with the Overdrive and Ignite. Day 48: fed da girls and went with Bud Blood instead of Ignite. Day 49: so I'm checking out my grow and for some reason I grabbed some water only....just felt like I've been so caught up in the nutrients forgetting basics. So since in the last 3 weeks gonna concentrate on budding and k Defoliation. My buds are definitely gonna be huge and ripe. So getting closer to curing and got a bunch of huge mason jars @ TJ Max. For curing along with Bovida 65% packs. As for a drying tent gonna go with hanging in paper bags. Getting into curing mode so that when these are ready I can get my FF's potted and 🎄 grow on. I want to clone a few if these FF's 4sure for Christmas gifts and have plenty of holiday cheer to share.

Perdon por la demora , la verdad es que comencé la cosecha hace 1 semana y aun no he terminado. Los tricomas están con un color lechoso, cuando termine con la cosecha subiré más fotos y datos.

Candyman is now Day 22 of flower! The smells are beautiful 2 smell more gassy and one smells more lemon now. They are drinking a lot every 2 days now, I've took a lot of leaves off and lower bud spots to give the tops more energy the finish line is fast approaching now and I can't wait 😍 Day 26 of flower and they are stinking they smell like gassy shit 🤣 but my last run of skywalker did that and was unreal smoke, so 🤞🏻 Update: Day 78, Day 28 of flower! It's the start of week 4 today and the colours are starting to change 😍 smelling and getting frosty by the day now. Really can't wait to try these girls out ✌️🏻

Jour 48 dans le jardin secret de nos amies les plantes, et l'aventure se poursuit avec son lot de défis. Aujourd'hui, un petit contretemps : une de nos verdoyantes compagnes souffrait d'une carence en azote. Heureusement, avec une intervention rapide et l'apport d'une dose généreuse d'azote et d'autres nutriments essentiels, j'espère avoir rectifié le tir. C'est une période fascinante, car la plante a cessé de grandir verticalement pour concentrer toute son énergie sur le développement de ses fleurs. Je vais continuer à lui fournir méticuleusement les nutriments dont elle a besoin, en veillant à maintenir cet équilibre délicat : assez pour la soutenir, mais pas trop au point de causer des brûlures par excès de nutriments. D'après l'état actuel des choses, je table sur une période complète de 12 semaines. Remarque : feuilles jaunissantes a la 5/6e semaine dûe a une carence d'azote traiter par la moitié de la dose recommandée. Engrais : moitié de la dose recommandée en NPK pour corriger les carences, a vérifier si brûlures.

incredible plant 💞

Las altas temperaturas han persistido es por esto que el riego ha sido más seguido variando siempre entre fertilizante y agua. Esta vez ya se utilizó Flawless Finish para este último proceso, una vez secándose el sustrato se comienza con la cosecha. Ha sido un buen cultivo. Veremos como termina esto. Seguimos ! 👽💪

08/11: La troisième semaine de floraison commence enfin on devrait les fleurs prendre forme. J'espère que le stretch est fini car elle est assez grande et doit laisser un peu de place au autres. 08/12: la troisième semaine débute sur une note un peu amer. Certaines feuilles se détériore à une vitesse folle, ainsi que des tâches brune. Premier réflexe GHE essential et cal-mag agent de Canna ce matin. Espérons que les prochains jours seront plus cool et que cela vas arranger mon problème. 08/13: après avoir fait plus de recherche je suis enfin tombé sur un article sur le blog de pevgrow et mon problème correspond en tout point à une carence en magnésium. Je devrais voir voir des améliorations dans les 4 à 7 jours. Et bien-sûr continuer à donner du calmag. Le problème viendrai du fait que je tourne en 24/7 avec les auto's enfin c'est ce que je pense après avoir croisé les conseils et avis des "growers" de GD et certains articles. 08/14: c'est dernier jours ont été intense pour moi, lors de mon premier diaries j'avais déjà eu le même problèmes avec une purplequeen auto à l'époque je n'avais pas de calmag... enfin tous ça pour dire merci à la communauté growdiaries.com qui m'a conseillé et supporter. Maintenant cela c'est stabilisé et n'atteint aucune autre feuilles, les nouvelles feuilles sont belles et viguoireuses. Me voilà rassurer et surtout j'ai encore appris de nouvelles chose sur la cannabiculture 😎😨🤓 08/15: elle a créée une belle masse de feuilles entre temps, je vais appliquer une grosse defoliation après le prochain engraissâge histoire d'être que les carences ne sont plus d'actualités. À part cela je me contente de couper deux feuilles par jours. #46 08/16: tout est rentré dans l'ordre ouF :D - la production de trichromes à bien commencé, une légère odeur typique à la weed qu'elle que soit la variété en début de flo. se dégage de la growbox. je suis enchanté! Maintenant j'epère que le switch d'engrais càd changer "BioBizz bloom/topmax" pour "Canna PK13-14/Boost Accelerator" vas lui plaire à la jolie dame #47 08/17: apres une de nuit de réflexion: arrosage/engraisser (canna calmag (.6ml/L)/BB blom-topMax (1.2ml/L chaqu'un)/ AN BigBud-BudCandy (1ml/L chaqu'un) ce matin. J'essayerai canna pk 13 14 et boost accelerator sur mon prochain plant. #48
