Everything is still going well overall. I’ve always had an issue with a Cal/Mag deficiency that I had to monitor for some of the plants. Otherwise, they’re swelling nicely — the Green Poison is starting to look really good and is showing signs of maturity, earlier than the others. I’m starting the flush on all the plants since I’ve fed them well during the grow, and I think they still have enough nutrients left in their systems. The smell is very strong, and the buds are dense and resinous — it’s looking promising.. I’m going to start applying my stress technique on the plants by inserting screws into the stems and using a small scalpel to remove some bark along the trunks, in order to push the resin production even further.

This beautiful lady smells very strong,I swear I can't believe it's her 15th day of flower since I forced flower on August 3rd,smells just like OG kush but with a different tone of sweetness. Love this strain to pieces. On August 24th starts the 3rd week of flower 🌸🌱.

Week 13 - Flowering Week 4 The cycle look well advanced. All plants are producing quantities of pistils like the Royal Gorilla or Bubble Gum. Some aphids are still around but infestation seems under control. I sprayed Neem oil to repulse insects and defoliated. I added more nutrients in the soil (Palm Tree Ashes) and in Water: pk 13/14, flowering stimulator. Watering each 2 or 3 days 80cl/plant -Cal/Mag + Pk 13/14 + flowering nutrients -Cal/Mag + Bud XL + flowering nutrients -Cal/Mag + Over Drive + flowering nutrients Plants report: -CaliFunk the most advanced: flowers are frosty, resinous and getting thicker. But this plant is very short and only the 4 main buds are correct. -Royal Gorilla stopped to produce long pistil and started the final stage. -Ak 47 is flowering slowly, buds are long but not thick for the moment: elegant Sativa -Bubble Gum look great, dynamic and homogeneous flowering: well engaged -Green Punch after damaged is producing some flower + one bud…. -Sour Diesel is a pretty good surprise: interesting flowering: slow but progressive (Sativa dominant). The smell in the grow-tent is a strange and strong Mix between this 6 different strains.

This #42 and #40 plants from Ganja Farmer Seeds where the best out of them all, this is a bias review though as they where not all grown in the same bucket system as these two and thus could not grow to their true potential. The bugs where solid rock hard and crystaly They are true keepers if your wanted a good performing auto for shits and giggle outdoors. The major downside is how easily they got pests and how the pests preferred them over the other weed plants. this is a bit concerning to me and makes me wonder why. More to come. @GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to proudly present to you my diary in which, for the next winter time outside the window, I begin a magical adventure with the famous gorillas in a rather exotic climate - and here I want to point out that the seeds were a gift from RQS. Once again I want to thank for the grinder that I use every day, the Vertafort fertilizer which will land in the soil, the posters that decorate the walls in my room (you chose my favorite varieties btw) and the 10 seeds of the Royal Haze which will surely be in the next project. So today I feel like I'm in a position to share with an adventure that starts here and now. I feel obliged to post new updates every day. Please also comment and give advice by colleagues in the field. Here is a list of things I will use: Soil: Biobizz ALL-MIX Fertilizers: All Biobizz Bio-Grow Bio-bloom Bio-heaven Top-Max Leaf-Coat Acti-Vera ALG-A-MIC Veg setup: Growbox 70x45x150 MH 150W GIB Lighting GROWTH SPECTRUM Advanced Humidifier 5L AERI Advanced Star 13W Fan Carbon filter ORIGINAL 75 - 100 M3 per H Axial Flo Fan 100 Peat pots: 7x 10X8cm and 3x 11X10cm And much much love Flo setup: Growbox Secret Jardin 120x120x185 Dark Street LED 2x200W ADVANCED STAR DUAL HPS 150W GIB Lighting FLOWER SPECTRUM Pro Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20 Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 30 Fan PK125 MES 420m Coal Filter Prima Klima ECO 360 - 480 m3 I will soon describe more details.

Day 22 - december 26 The hydro goes really fast now we can see the difference in growth vs the soil ppm 500 Ph 6.1 day 23 water change - 730ppm day 25 i cut off the 2 top fanleaves of the hydro and soil plant wich are blocking light on the stems underneath, now both plants have 6 main stems so both plants will have the same structure. nothing needs to be cut from here its just veg a bit longer and wait for flowers. also did LST on all 6 branches each has a string on them with a pencil attached to them to bend the young stems gently as you can see in the final video of this week. day 28: the hydro plant recovered from the too light nute mix new growth is healthy again theres just brown spots on the oldest water leaves. temps are also a bit low when lights turn of (15ceclius) in the res. i put the timer of the light now at 20/24 to keep it 2h warmer.

This babe is a frost monster! Smells like permanent marker, curious where that came from? Structure very much matched description, but the smells. It's insane how burnt rubber it smells! Chopping today, day 101.

What a little beauty this girl is turning out to be. The knuckle were snapped up by accident is healing well as we knew it would. You can see in some of the pictures her shape under side from the original LST (what a battle, shes strong alright!) Done some final super cropping to shape her, which is more to do with space in the grow cupboard then anything else. trimmed a few dying lower leaves not getting any light, shes never been topped She's on left in picture, purple haze auto on right.

12/01 Fed the soil with 1 liter of a mixture of Nectar of the God's Zeus Juice, Herculean Harvest, and Hygeia's Hydration 12/02 Girls all look great and now little Trudy Judy is no longer little!!! She shot past Amy and is now the tallest in the tent, her flowers are a little wispy compared to the others. 12/03 Watered each lady with about a liter of ph 6.3 water with 1 tablespoon of unsulphered black strap molasses 12/04 Ladies are looking good, I think Judy's weird buds may be due to wind shock so I moved her one square over on the scrog will have to keep my eye on her to see if that shocks her 12/05 Watered with PH 6.4 water only I think we are done with the stretch. I don't think Amy recovered from being super cropped and that is what stunted her growth. Her leaves are beautiful and delicate but she isn't stretching any further I don't believe. Trudy Judy is just a freak her buds are whispy and she has some that are growing at weird angles but….whatever. From the above picture going clockwise from the upper left corner we have Rosa who was Super Cropped twice and is the tallest and strongest, next in the one oclock position we have Gina who was accidentally topped week 2.5 ish and she recovered excellently the two in the back are definitely the best looking pheno's. Next in the lower right corner is Amy the little lady who started off strong but now is just a pretty little thing buds are nice and plump she looks like she is going to be just fine…just short. Finally we have Trudy Judy…..freak 12/06 Did some light defoliation on the bottom skirt pulled some big fan leaves that aren't getting light and turning yellow, accidentally nicked a limb with buds on it from Judy but it was lower larf and weird and she's weird anyway so 12/07 I think Trudy is playing possum, she was a week behind everyone so I'm thinking these weird buds are a phase and she will start plumping up. The two ladies in the back are getting fat and starting to show some frost, Amy is getting fat but …..sigh I should raise her up to make her level. Fed everyone 1.3 Liters of Recharge.

Well not really much too update everything is still going well i guess, purple queen is really slow with starting to set flower mode is that normal with this strain? Or I’m i just not patient enough 😅 sticky beast is going really well also going strong into week 5! My best one most be the runtz #1 that is in week 6 the other one is chasing it but like I said already i broke the main root (not all the way) while lsting her. I put some ducktape on her but i think she will take a little longer then the number 1

Week 2 and the training has already started. I was inspired by Canamatoes, this is his LST method. Day 17 - when LST turned into HST aka FIS technique (fuck I snapped). So it started as a really harmless routine, I wanted to tie down the plant when at the weak point where the previous tie down was (1st nod) the main stem just snapped 😬 First I tried to use some duct tape and it did not holding the plant together. I grabbed the super glue and it seems like it does the job. ⚕️ When I got home in the evening two fan leaves were wilted. Will she survive? Let's say she will survive, I am sure due to stress the harvest day will be delayed and it won't be a massive yield. Day 19 - I decided to go ahead with a VEEERY GENTLE LST. We don't have the luxury to wait for the full recovery.

Not much going on yet. Added some 3d printed supports to make sure they don't start flopping over. Not sure if it's the strain, or my idiocy, but these bastards are soooo leggy. Grr. Watering daily to 15% runoff with MegaCrop 2 part in RO at 0.6EC and 5.6pH. Found Mega Crop gives very stable pH on the right range without any pH up or down needed. Took one day off (3/18) watering to water with Silica Boost at 6ml/gal concentration pHed to 5.4. PPFD 300 at canopy for DLI of 20. PPFD was about 20 for first week while I was prepping and sanitizing the grow room, which might explain the leggyness. If they don't look better after topping, I might pull them and try a different strain. 3/20 - this grow is inspired by the techniques of Bruce Bugbee (PPFD, nutrition, EC monitoring, substrate, environment, etc) and the concept of VPD control, both of which served me very well in the past. The grow room has dual PID controls in my PLC regulating the temperature and humidity to lock in the VPD based on plant age. In later veg and flower, I had CO2 injection on a PID, but that ultimately failed because I couldn't get the humidity down as it got huge. Had too many vent cycles. This year, hope to source or kludge an in-line dehumidifier so I can keep the sealed chamber where it needs to be without wasting CO2. 3/22 no more vertical growth, thank god, leaves and roots are slowly catching up. Patience. EC to 0.7
