Week 30 – Flowering Week 7 (Harvest) This week marks the end of the Pineapple Upside Down flowering cycle. The plant was flushed for a full week leading up to harvest. During this final phase, light intensity was deliberately reduced to help preserve trichomes and maintain the terpene profile as much as possible. A clear color change was observed compared to the previous week, confirming the plant was reaching full maturity. Trichomes were inspected closely and showed a dominant cloudy appearance, with a balanced presence of amber and very few remaining clear trichomes. Harvest has now been completed. The plant is entering the drying phase, which is planned to run at approximately 16–17°C. Drying time is expected to be at least 15 days, possibly extending to three weeks depending on conditions. Aroma at harvest is very pronounced, with strong pineapple and exotic fruit notes. Yield is not expected to be exceptional, with a large proportion of small buds, but all material will be used. Lower-grade buds and trim will likely be processed rather than discarded. This run came with its share of challenges and difficulties, but it provided valuable lessons. The focus going forward is to refine the process, improve consistency, and aim for a repeatable quality standard. The next update will take place after drying, trimming, and weighing, with a full harvest review. See you in a couple of weeks. Take care.

📓 Cultivation Diary: The 12/12 Flip & Transition Week Pheno#1 going crazy 📅 June 5, 2026 (Veg Day 17) Irrigation/Reservoir: Prepared a full 100L reservoir refresh. Nutrients: Kept the feeding aggressive with a double dose of vegetative nutrition (x2 Nutrient formula) to ensure the root zones and plant tissues are fully stocked with elements before the transition. Canopy Observation:the canopy is thick, uniform, and fully occupying the table space. The trellis net is officially filled out, and the lower branches are strong and rigid. 📅 June 6, 2026 (Day 1 of Flower / Bloom Week 1) The Flip: Officially switched the timers to a 12/12 photoperiod (Lights ON at 6:00 PM / Lights OFF at 6:00 AM). Schedule: First irrigation shot triggers exactly 1 hour after lights on (7:00 PM), followed by a shot every 1.5 hours. Volume: Configured the drip stakes to run for 1 minute per shot, delivering 5 shots total per day. This provides roughly 450ml per plant per day, creating excellent target dry-backs overnight to force vigorous root searching. 📅 June 11, 2026 (Day 6 of Flower / Bloom Week 1) Irrigation/Reservoir: Bumped reservoir capacity up to 110–120L to keep up with increased transpiration as the plants begin their post-flip stretch. Nutrient Recipe (TargetingpH 6.0 EC 2.5 Water: 110–120L Athena Cleanse: 120ml Silica: 220ml (Essential for stem strength during the stretch) CalMag: 10ml Athena Bloom: 600ml (Adjusting base to target 1.2–1.3 EC from Bloom component) Athena Core: 400ml Irrigation Adjustments: Increased the shot duration slightly to 1 minute and 15 seconds to match the accelerating growth pace. The early flowering stretch has officially begun. The tops are noticeably pushing past the trellis net layers, and the node spacing remains tight and stacked. Leaf color is an excellent dark green with healthy, bright yellow-green shoots driving upward at the growth tips. No signs of stress or stalling from the schedule shift.

day 93 ( 34 of bloom ) so yesterday i watered the plant and dropped the silicate out of the mix over all plant health looks great. i am starting to get some orange hairs 1 or 2 per cola so im in the end game now 2 or three weeks till harvest. i may do one more feeding then all flush till the end. - update day 94 ( 35 of bloom ) i am going to go into flush i think as i am seeing more and more orange hairs and i don't want to start late. Update had to harvest early because of pollen sacs

Amazing Gorilla Zkytllez !!! If only I could transfer the smell to the photos. All Gorillas bloom beautifully, a joy to look at. Unfortunately, bad weather is coming... It's supposed to rain all week, so we'll see how Fast Buds genetics will cope

🇺🇸 Week 7 - Grow Journal of Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) 🇺🇸 On the Way Back to Full Strength! After two tough weeks with overfeeding and water stress, I’m finally happy to see my plant bouncing back. The roots had taken a hit, and last week, I noticed my filter was way more clogged than usual. I believe the dead roots were broken down and flushed out, most likely thanks to Cannazym. I added it specifically to help decompose the damaged roots, and it seems to have done its job. Today, I checked the roots and saw that they have stopped browning and are beginning to return to a more normal color. They were previously quite dark, but now they’re showing signs of improvement. The root mass hasn’t regained volume yet, but I think it’s still eliminating waste. It’ll be interesting to see if more debris accumulates in the filter or if it remains clean from now on. Another great sign: my nutrient solution level has dropped, meaning the plant is feeding properly again. At the same time, my EC has decreased, confirming that it’s actively absorbing nutrients. This recovery is also visible in the canopy: it has become denser, allowing me to slightly top some central shoots that were growing past the screen and to continue working on the SCROG. The only minor issue this week was pH fluctuation. Over the weekend, it rose to 6.6, but I recalibrated it to 5.9 today. I suspect this is due to the plant still shedding dead roots, which could be affecting its balance. Either way, I’ll be changing the nutrient solution soon, which should stabilize things further. Current Grow Parameters: • Strain: Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) • Light Cycle: 18 hours • Humidity: 70% • pH: Adjusted back to 5.9 after peaking at 6.6 • EC: Down to 1.1 after briefly reaching 1.3 - 1.4 • Training: Light topping in the center + SCROG work + selective defoliation for better light penetration Final Thoughts: Things are improving, but we’re not fully there yet. The plant is regaining strength, the roots are clearing up, and it’s feeding well again. I’ll keep a close eye on its next developments, especially root mass expansion. Excited to see how things evolve next week! See you next time for another update! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 7 - Journal de Culture de Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) 🇫🇷 On est en train de revenir à la pleine forme ! Après deux semaines compliquées marquées par une surnutrition et un stress hydrique, je suis heureux de voir que la plante repart dans le bon sens. Les racines avaient bien souffert, et en observant mon filtre la semaine dernière, j’ai remarqué qu’il était bien plus encrassé que d’habitude. J’en conclus que les racines mortes ont été détruites et évacuées, sûrement grâce au Cannazym. J’avais ajouté ce produit pour faciliter la décomposition des racines abîmées, et cela semble avoir bien fonctionné. Aujourd’hui, en observant les racines, j’ai constaté qu’elles ont arrêté de brunir et qu’elles commencent à retrouver une couleur normale. Elles étaient auparavant bien sombres, mais leur état s’améliore nettement. Pour l’instant, la masse racinaire n’a pas encore repris en volume, mais je pense qu’elle élimine encore des déchets. Ce sera intéressant de voir si mon filtre continue à accumuler du dépôt ou si tout est désormais propre. Autre signe encourageant : le niveau de ma solution nutritive a bien baissé, ce qui indique que la plante se réalimente correctement. En parallèle, mon EC a également diminué, preuve qu’elle absorbe bien les nutriments. Cette reprise se reflète aussi visuellement : la canopée s’est densifiée, ce qui m’a permis de légèrement étêter certaines têtes centrales qui dépassaient du grillage et de continuer mon travail sur le SCROG. Le seul petit point de vigilance concerne le pH, qui a fluctué. Ce week-end, il est monté jusqu’à 6,6, mais je l’ai recalibré aujourd’hui à 5,9. Je pense que ces variations sont dues au fait qu’elle se débarrasse encore de ses racines mortes et qu’elle n’a pas encore retrouvé un équilibre complet. De toute façon, je vais bientôt renouveler la solution nutritive, ce qui permettra de repartir sur une base stable. Paramètres de culture actuels : • Variété : Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) • Photopériode : 18 heures de lumière • Humidité : 70 % • pH : ajusté à 5,9 après une fluctuation jusqu’à 6,6 • EC : descendu à 1,1 après être monté à 1,3 - 1,4 • Taille & palissage : léger topping central + travail sur le SCROG + retrait de quelques feuilles pour une meilleure pénétration lumineuse En conclusion : Les choses s’améliorent, mais ce n’est pas encore complètement gagné. La plante reprend de la vigueur, les racines s’éclaircissent et elle recommence à bien se nourrir. Je reste attentif aux prochaines évolutions, notamment sur la masse racinaire. Hâte de voir comment ça progresse la semaine prochaine ! À la semaine prochaine pour un nouveau point ! 🤘😎

Ehi ragazzi come va? Spero tutto bene come a me! Le temperature elevate delle ultime settimane, sono state molto stressanti per le ragazze ma nonostante questo la genetica Barney'S farm si è fatta predominante ed insieme alla sorella Fastbuds Apricot auto hanno praticamente fagocitato l intero spazio della grow box, destinato come progetto iniziale di 4 piante, purtroppo sappiamo bene come sono andate le altre due ragazze, ma diciamocelo, di sicuro non staremo a piangerci addosso perché questa cookie KUSH auto mi sta veramente sorprendedno, altezza di 98cm e un sacco di sviluppo delle cime laterali che sono stra colme di gemme a forma di biscotto che si stanno sviluppando in modo davvero grandioso sia in numero di fiori che di nuovi fiori, che di compattezza delle cime, nonostante il caldo abbia portato a formare delle cime un po foxtail, ma spero che questo problema rientri nelle ultime due settimane che mancano alla raccolta, la temperatura sarà dai 26 ma x 30 gradi, quindi clima controllato ideale per questa ragazza che sprizza di resina da ogni nuovo fiore! Spero che la situazione continui così, anche se ho notato una carenza (spero) di calcio e magnesio che mi è capitato spesso anche in altre coltivazioni organiche, a cui avevo somministrato c02, si vede che aumentando il metabolismo andavano in carenza di cal/mag... ma purtroppo io non sono ancora così esperto da capirlo da me stesso ed essere pienamente sicuro della soluzione migliore da adottare.. Si iniziano a sentire odori speziati di legno stile KUSH!! Non vedo l ora di provarne gli effetti su me stesso 😝 ringrazio come al solito la mia grande famiglia Mars Hydro che ha reso tutto questo paradiso in terra possibile, in un paese come il mio in cui la legge è contro questa mia bellissima passione! Buon 420 a tutti! 😺😽💋😻💖🧑‍🌾🌱🌿🌲🍀💨 https://marshydro.eu/ https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/products/4-inch-inline-duct-fan-and-carbon-filter-combo-with-thermostat-controller/

Flower day 56. Strong yellow and purple fade in the leaves. We are getting close to finish. On one LO I cut the main colas already and put them in dryferm bags. The rest will be hung up for drying. Just a few days left. LO sweet citrus with lots of trichomes. Smaller leafy buds . BBP fruity sweet aroma with big ass Buds and heavy weight. RJ with spicey aroma and very dense and heavy buds. For the last 2 waterings only ph regulated water with just a very little calmag und flores nutes.

Hey there, my fellow ninja enthusiasts! Week 12 in our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run has been a wild ride, packed with thrilling developments and a few climate surprises. Let's dive in – this week, the temperature decided to crank up to a sizzling 32°C! As the guardian of my Tangie, I had to spring into action. To maintain a comfortable environment for her, I cranked up the humidity to a cozy 75%. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about VPD – Vapor Pressure Deficit. This fancy term essentially means we're striving to keep the air conditions as close as possible to the optimal range for plant health. Think of it as creating a ninja-approved climate! Now, let's talk trichomes. Oh boy, the trichome production this week has been off the charts! These little resin factories are working overtime, and the results are nothing short of mesmerizing. The numbers are outstanding, and the formation is simply beautiful. Our Tangie is turning into a trichome queen! But that's not all. This week, I've been all about that Zen garden vibe. I've been zenning out and sharing my herbal medicine not only with my plant but also with my ninja buddies. It's like a little garden party with a side of relaxation. Now, onto the numbers game – I raised the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to 400 and bumped up the pH to 6.3. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about fine-tuning the nutrient solution. These adjustments ensure our Tangie gets the right balance of nutrients, promoting optimal growth and flowering. It's like giving her a customized meal plan for maximum ninja power! So there you have it – a blast of a week in the world of our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run. As always, I'm here, sharing the journey with you all. Stay tuned for more ninja updates, and remember, every twist and turn in this adventure is a testament to our dedication and love for the art of cultivation. Keep the ninja spirit alive, my leafy warriors! As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove

Ehi ragazzi! La ragazza questa settimana sta davvero cercando di "scalare il cielo" ,tutta la pianta le foglie le cime gli steli , sono tutti propensi verso l alto! È davvero interessante come genetica! Le cime si stanno facendo sempre più grosse e succose! L'odore di runtz sta iniziando a farsi sentire e le cime sono super appiccicose! Cosa posso volere di più?! Penso che la piccola ragazza mi darà grandi soddisfazioni! Grazie a Mars hydro e Sweet seeds che hanno reso questo possibile!! Buon 420 a tutti regazzz!!

Almost Chop Day for wa girl MS PURPLE! ✂️ The last few days were all about that flush life runoff nice and low, just how we like it ✅ She’s been an absolute tank from day one, taking almost everything thrown her way like a champ 💪🏾🔥 By the end of the week, most of the buds turned purple, most of her fan leaves faded to yellow, and after a solid trichome check..mostly milky with just the right touch of amber. Nailed it 🎯 And the smell? Straight adorable 🤗😍 I’ve got other strains on their own journeys, posted weekly in my diary feel free to take a little tour Thanks for riding along with me on this one 🙏🏾 Right after this photo session she’s off the a better world Happy growing 💚
