Okay, could leave her longer but i need my tent for another project. Yielded 1299g wet trimmed with stems, is in my Cannatrol now. Wow, big fat Dutch Mama!! Edit :194 dry and trimmed, yaaa! Thanks to: Dutch Passion Terra Aquatica BIONOVA

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

Nothing special this week, just watching them buds grow :)

This is my first grow. I just started super duper light nutes. Like 4 ml per half gallon. Cal mag and grow big. Upgrading light tomorrow. Can't wait especially with the progress I've made with approx 215 watts of less. Upgrading to 1200W. Update: i got my light. Viparspectra 1200w

So, had an awful week here, outside temps are rising and my plant is getting fucked up. Super low humidity and super high temps are fucking her right up. Loads of foxtailing, lost all smell, feels kinda crispy despite daily watering. Need rid of this HPS lamp but money is tight so probably just gonna pull the plug entirely. Real shame.

6th week of flowering, now noticing 1/2 hairs or hanged up and very very aromatic. 2 Oct - looking great. 3 Oct - installed insulated ducting 4 Oct - watered 2L/each, 3ml per 5L of P & K & bud burst. Feeding less past couple times as looked over fed. 5 Oct - gf now looking after them as away 3 weeks 7 Oct - watered.

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

I started to notice that my leaves started to turn yellow. Maybe my led was to bright. So I turned it down a bit.

Día 83 (15/07) ¡ Cosecha Auto Northern Dragon Fuel ! 😁 💦Nutrients by Aptus Holland - www.aptus-holland.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

I’m excited to see what RQS have to offer with this little Gem! I’ve been waiting to try another of Royals Automatics, Fat Banana is a strain Im growing along side Gelato and Gorilla 😁 It’s been an eventful first few days.. (arnt they always!) she also poked her head up yesterday so Day 1 is 30/03/20. Let’s see how this week treats her, I plan to keep a close eye on the environmental conditions and to ensure she’s being fed some gentle nutrients, CalMag to begin with followed by some BioBizz Grow for the extra nitrogen needed at this delicate time 👌 See you all next week, I hope with more leaves to show 🌱✌️ Peace and love, stay safe

Bueno, empezamos por el final familia. Gorilla girl, me parece una cepa BRU-TAL , ya partiendo de esa base, mi error, creo que e cometido , es poner estos ejemplares en macetas de 5L, que tonto... mínimo recomendado 7L y a ser posible 11L Otro error fue no dejarlas una semana más. pero, escasez. (intentaremos curarla un par de semanas). Cepa con flores muy compactas, hay bastante separación entre nudos pero compensa las flores de verdad. Sabor muy dulzón a mi me recuerda a melón , es un pepino recomendado para amantes de la hierba que llevan tiempo en esto, un colocón muy fuerte, ahora mismo estoy bajo los efectos de esta vaina, aseguro que con cada frase, leo varias veces y detenidamente por que válgame.

She has stretched quite s bit, really wonderful leafs and she's developing her flowrs little by little, let's see how this performs, I expect the best from gea seeds genetics.

Flipped to flowering 3.11

Week 14 (Apr 1 – Apr 7) April 1–3 → buds heavy, pistils turning darker. April 6–7 → macro shots of trichomes: mostly cloudy, still some clear. Aroma increasing strongly.

It's time !

🌱 Finalizando la semana 3 y con buenas noticias 🌱 Efectivamente, esa carencia que venía notando estaba relacionada con calcio y magnesio. Después de añadir Calmag, las plantas empezaron a mostrar más vigor y mejor desarrollo. Hace unos días realicé el trasplante a macetas de 11L, probablemente las definitivas, aunque esto dependerá de cómo avancemos en las próximas semanas. 💪 A partir de ese trasplante, también comencé a incluir BioGrow en el riego, para potenciar el crecimiento. 📝 Dato útil: Antes de trasplantar, esperé a que el sustrato estuviera un poco más seco y compacto, lo que facilitó muchísimo el proceso. Luego, en ese primer riego post-trasplante, aproveché para aplicar fertilizantes. ¡Seguimos avanzando y viendo los cambios día a día! 🚀🌿

Hello growers ! This week I started to put cannaboost and terra Flores ! They grow higher every days and the size of the second branches is huge !! Good plants and very strong ! I’m quite excited to see the flowers ! I cut a bit of leaves that cover buds from the light ;) this session I don’t pinch the branches to let the stretch doing the job

Hey all ! Here we go again, with some super duper genetics (... and so f*ck*ng expensive 😱). If you have a Growing Lad and you past here , STOP ! I NEED YOU ☝️ I wanna a job in the Cannabis industry, just leave me in your Lab I will do the rest 🐞 The Jumanji will be powered by Cellmax Nutrients. [Day 99] Week 6 of flowering starting. As usual, my friends, I will be honest, peoples who knows me knows that when something sux I always say and same thing when something rox ☝️ Here is the true, I have to recognize that Cellmax nootz are f*ck*ng AWESOME 👏 The Flower Stimulator has accelerated the flowering opening stage, plants have finished the stage in just 4 and a half weeks from switching, they started the swell stage at beginning of week 5. And as you can see the Alga-Max (PK booster) have finalized the job by blowing up the buds, I still have 3 more weeks of swelling coming.... can’t wait to see pineapples everywhere in week 8. On top of this, after tweaking Cellmax feeding chart and doing personal readjustment, amounts of ppm’s / mS suits perfectly according to plants size and life cycle, meaning the plants are triggering senescence according to breeders flowering periods. The Super Skunks will be ready in time, as all the others plants ( T.H.Seeds Bubblegum has started senescence too ). Conclusion : I understand now why Dutch growers are breaking records with their super massive buds , CELLMAX you ROX 👍👌👏 [Day 100] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Allzymes 1ml/1l + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l + Earth Bloom Mix 4ml/1l + Alga-Max 2ml/1l : 1100ppm / 2.2mS GG Last max amount of nootz for the Gorilla Glue. - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) GSC [Day 102] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Allzymes 1ml/1l + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l + Alga-Max 2ml/1l + Earth Bloom Mix 2ml/1l : 900ppm / 1.8mS SS 1,2,3 WW 1,2,3 OG BBG T.H,SS [Day 104] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Allzymes 1ml/1l + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l + Alga-Max 1ml/1l + Earth Bloom Mix 2ml/1l : 900ppm / 1.8mS GSC - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) GG

04/09 - Started minor defoliation. Shes getting too bushy and blocking bud sites and causing moisture spots. Will remove a couple of leaves every other day for the next week. 05/09 - Full res change. Realised I mucked up the ratio. Went 35ml Micro, 25ml grow, (Shouldve been the other way around, so added an extra 10ml grow), 15ml Bloom and 15ml Silica. EC 1.4, PH 5.7. Will keep an eye on her and add some additional grow if she does alright. 06/09 - Minor defoliation. Removed about 12 leaves total so far. LST to spread the canopy a little more. PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.4, Water level dropping. Seems to be stretching and pistils have begun to form! Responding well to the uptick in nutes from the res change. 07/09 - Leaf tucking, LST and took a leaf or two. Shes getting her stretch on for sure. PH stable at 5.8, EC stable at 1.4. Water level still dropping. 09/09 - After much deliberation, I ended up going for a fairly heavy defoliation session and am now going to leave her the hell alone until at least mid flower. I removed a large chunk of shaded leaves and bud sites and effectively ended up lollipopping her. I also removed all the old LST, and added a couple to pull leaves out of the way. The canopy remains largely unchanged, but shes much more airy now, and Im seeing far fewer damp spots where leaf perspiration has occured. Now to see if I can keep my hands off for a few weeks!
