First off - Welcome to my first grow diary. I’m just a low-key home cultivator running everything for personal medicinal use—no big commercial vibes here. Been dialing in grows for years now, and I’ve long since moved on from the seed roulette wheel. These days I stick to legit, certified genetics from solid sources. Nothing beats the consistency and predictability of running a clean mono-crop—all clones from the same mother, uniform canopy, uniform finish. Way less guesswork, way more control. Let’s see how this round plays out. Potted up the rooted clones from cuts taken 13 days ago from sugar factory mother. Look pretty rough at the moment but I trust the process.

I changed the reservoir and set the pH to around 5.3 and reduced the nutrients by 5ml/g. I just realized I've been adding far far fewer nutrients than I thought. I've been using 30ml in a 5 gal bucket (probably 4.5g volume) but I should be using 30ml/g so 4x as much. I'm going to leave it for now but I should probably start adding more nutrients. I took the wires I was using for LST off the bucket so it isn't stressed during flower and so it's easier to change the water. I'm taking off fan leaves that are blocking bud sites if I can't tuck them away. It grew a crazy amount today, so many little pistils came out. It's an exciting time. July 10 she thirsty. I added half a gallon of water and a full 30ml of each nutrient. That should bring us close to half the recommended nutes. I'll probably change the full res out and give 3/4 nutes sometime this week and go up to full strength next weekend if everything looks OK. https://www.remonutrients.com/calculator/ I just looked at my chart again and I think I was right the first time. I just added more nutrients for no reason. I added another half gallon of water and checked ppm and pH. Ppm is 1050, pH is 5.8. Gonna keep an eye on it through the day and see what happens. 305pm pH 5.8 ppm 1200 July 11 pH 5.8 ppm 1300. I'll add some plain water after the res goes down a bit more. Looks like the plant isn't using all the available nutes and is probably leaching some. She looks good though. Loads of vertical growth over the past week, now really going hard making bud sites. I'm going to see how this nute situation goes before doing any major defoliation or pruning. Leaf temp was 29 on the central cola so I turned up the fans and raised the light a bit. July 12 ppm down to 1200, pH still 5.8. Looks like it's going to be ok. July 13 ppm 1300 pH 6.2. I dropped an entire oscillating fan on my plant today. I broke 4 stems almost clean off. 3 appear to be surviving through duct tape and wire. The biggest one appears to be a casualty. I'm pissed. But the cabinet is coming together. Once it's perfect this kind of thing won't happen. I salvaged a piece of plywood yesterday and hand sawed the whole thing to fit as a door.

Decided to harvest at 10-12% amber. Running out of time and needed to chop her down. Pretty sure I slowed her down from a heavy defol. She was supposed to be done on day 65 based on breeders notes. She took considerably longer for me so the heavy defol is the only thing I can think of. She has sweet gas and grape terp. Very nice heavy dense buds but not as large as I was hoping. Despite the bud size I think it will be some good smoke. I’ll update with dried and cured bud pics. Buds are very dense after dry and cure!

I put them to germinate on 03/09, and on 05/09 they were already in the pots. They don't have a defined breed, the weed was good, let's try. I'll use 5 seeds, but 10 of 11 germinated. 12/12 from seed 2 on organic pots 3 on inert pots

Week 11 – Day 79 (Flower Day 51) šŸ”„ General Update Unfortunately, I ran into a nutrient lockout earlier this week – some of you may have seen it in the comments. šŸ“‰ The drain pH just won’t go up anymore, even after multiple flushes with light nutrient solution. I’m now down to 50% of the feeding schedule and reduced light intensity to around 600 PPFD to keep stress levels low. ā„ļø White Widow – Day 51 of Flower She’s clearly showing signs of the lockout now āš ļø Still, the buds continue to swell visibly, which is honestly a nice surprise! It seems like she’ll make it to harvest without major damage. Flushing only from now on – harvest is planned for next week. āš ļø Drain pH is stuck at 5.6 – completely off, but can’t be fixed anymore at this point.

🌿 Yo, Have You Seen This Grow? Gorilla Cookies FF by Fast Buds Is Looking Fire! šŸ”„ Man… Gorilla Cookies FF is lookin' like it’s about to go off. You ever smoke Gorilla Cookies? It’s like a sweet punch in the face — in the best way possible. So check this — it's not your regular autoflower. This one’s Fast Flowering — a photoperiod strain that flips quick. 7 weeks of bloom and boom, you’re lookin' at frosty nugs with that dank cookie-diesel funk. Straight Fast Buds magic. Genetics That Slap This strain's a mashup of two absolute legends: Gorilla Glue Ɨ Girl Scout Cookies That means crazy resin production, chunky buds, and that earthy-sweet-gassy flavor combo that hits different. Like, we’re talking up to 29% THC. Yeah. That strong. 🌱 The Grow So Far (Weeks 1–3) Organic soil in a 15L pot 300W HID light on 25% power Perfect temps (23–25 °C) & humidity (~65%) Bio feeding with Green House nutrients Already transplanted — and she’s stretchin’ up nice I checked the pics — she’s still a baby, but those leaves are lush. That deep green, wide fan leaf vibe… no signs of stress, no stretch too early. You can feel the potential just lookin’ at her. šŸ“ø First Glance = Big Promise Honestly, this one’s got that look. You know the look — when a plant’s just ready to explode into a frosty jungle. I’m tellin’ ya, if she keeps goin’ like this, we’re lookin’ at a full-on terp storm in a few weeks.

Hey guys everything is going great with these ladies all 6 germinated and popped up in 3 days after planting 1 of the six shooters is a lot smaller than its sisters so I've order LEMON PIE from FASTBUDS should be here tomorrow to take its place and I'm going to move the six shooter outside so if you would like to see its journey comment and like bellow ā¤µļø The only thing I wish I did differently would of been starting these girls under a cfl or a cheap led to stop stretching but lesson learned if anyone has any question's please comment and thank-you all for your support āœŒļø

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D80 (13/05/2021): I'm looking at the trichomes every other days. Glue Gelato is starting to show amber on top buds. No amber for Banana Kush and Gelato. This time I will chop them all at the same time so the one I will rely on is the Glue Gelato. As soon as she is ready, I will harvest them all. Banana Kush and Gelato would probably need more, but in term of logistic, I need to harvest all my plants at the same time. D83 (16/05/2021): Not ready yet. I'm checking trichomes closely! 😬 - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-25C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light. - ***IPM: I never mention it but I'm using nematodes pouch as an integrated pest management. I had trouble with pest in my first grow and I learned from it. That's the only thing I do for pest and of course watching closely and regularly at my plants 😊

Hi zusammen, das Wetter spielte die letzten Wochen leider nicht so mit und das betrifft auch den Wachstum von #2. Sie hinkt sehr hinterher und bildet nur Mini Buds. Es fehlt einfach an Licht und auch die hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit macht ihr zu schaffen. Im Zelt sieht das ganz anders aus: Zwar ist auch hier die Luftfeuchtigkeit relativ hoch mit im Schnitt 65% diese Woche, aber die Entwicklung zu letzter Woche ist erstaunlich. Hoffe, dass ich in spƤteren Wochen kein Problem mit Schimmel bekomme. Ansonsten sehr schƶne Blütenbildung und Wachstum, die Trichome erkennt man mit bloßem Auge sehr gut. Den Dünger hab ich gut angepasst und noch mal ordentlich was draufgepackt. Gießen muss ich so etwa jeden 1 1/2 Tag mit knapp 3 L pro Pflanze, die draußen bekommt etwa 3 L jeden zweiten Tag. Bin gespannt, ob sich bei #2 noch mal was tut, ansonsten wird’s ne schƶne Garten Deko šŸ˜… Wünsche euch ein schƶnes Wochenende und stay high šŸ»šŸ€ Gruß Wulle
