It's been a long minute since I've grown chocolopez.. Or as I like to call her Choco Lopez. I recall her being a very fruitful bud. Very sativa and not super dense buds. Delicious chocolate tastes. Ive never grown this out as a full screen before. Stay tuned. Ive been vegging these girls for about 5 weeks as the gorilla glue 4 was a week longer then expected. These have all been topped to 3 tops for a grand total of 27 tops. Leveled the canopy to 18" tall and moved them into flower.

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

A week with lots of activity from my side, from the Gorilla's side, not so much. She stays behind and I can't find any other reason than genetics/seed quality. She is in exactly the same conditions as the other girls. I'm letting her do her thing. She will give some weed, well see how much. Maybe she is a late-bloomer. She does look lush and healthy so we do not understand but are learning. I put in the scrog net since her roommates need it and lowered the lights and started giving more flowering feed. The light is still awesome, the amount it puts out. This SP- 3000 rocks and, wallet permitting, we will go for a second one. @MarsHydroLED might be so happy with the amount of coverage we give them, they'll send us another one 😏 If you haven't seen it yet and you are in the market for new gear, check out the Black Friday super sale on www.mars-hydro.com!! We are gonna see what happens coming weeks with this strain. So far I am a bit disappointed and didn't expect this from this strain. We will never know if it was the age of the seeds or something else. What I do know is, it was the last time I use a third party seedbank, it is apparently too hard to keep fresh stock with too many strains. Until breeders put a production date o the packaging. Isn't it time someone said that? Cause lets keep it real, we are talking seeds that in any other case would have a cost of production of fractions of cents per seed. We pay what? 3 to 5 to maybe even 20 dollars a seed for an exceptional strain? Is it then too much too ask to put a friggin expiry date on the package? Or store them cooled? The breeder that does that and arranges a deal with third-parties that overstock can be sent back, packaging recycled, in exchange for fresh stock. Like any other fresh trade. For an industry making what, a billion worldwide, it is remarkable how many are still in the stoner with a garage / 80's trailer park, backwater funfair warranty, kinda customer service. Me: i grow organic weed for 30 years, these seeds were old Seed dealer: Yes but you failed to do a raindance on the rising moon, no refund. Me: but its for cannabis? Weed industry: Yes why we charged you double! Me: wow no germination after paying 20 bucks for seeds? Industry: They are all stoners, they won't notice.... Me: but this bong is made from toxic plastics? Headshop: yeas but it has this crumbling image of a leaf, 20 dollar! Can they get their shit together? For god's sake, I've seen crack dealers with better PR and customer care. Someone do sumtin, take us out of the car boot era please?

Beginning of week.. I went up a tad on the nutes today.. And went down on the light power last week.. It was about 65% - 70% power which was quite a bit, I guess.. I put it at 50% power and she is finally starting to get some height to her.. I noticed more pistils toward the very top. I really hope she doesn't start flowering too soon.. I'd like to get some LST done on her. But she is happy and healthy! Next day... Even more pistils! Its been awhile since I grew an auto.. So I kinda forgot how early pistils can start poppin out but still be in veg (preflower). I just really wanna turn this girl into a flat bush! 10 mins later... Ok.. So looking back at my other autos.. This is pretty typical for them to start showing preflower this early.. She should still have 2 or 3 more weeks of veg with preflower! Mid week.. This is a day early.. But close enough.. 3rd week and growth is beginning to explode! The very first node's branches aren't really doing much.. Plus they are damn near to the ground.. I'm wondering if I should just remove them.. Maybe not yet.. But soon.. Or when I finally apply some LST. She is doing great!... No deficiencies.. No excesses.. Autoflowers are a trip! Can't wait to see what she looks like in another 7 days! I wanna try to do the entire grow without removing much, if anything.. But if this bottom branch doesnt start doing something.. I'm gonna have to remove it.. Its just bothering me way too much lol. Actually mid week.. SoI have been noticing a little bit of clawing and darkness.. BUT ONLY on the new growth.. As the leaves get older they seem to straighten out and lighten up a bit.. But I'm pretty sure it's nitrogen toxicity.. So I went down from .66mL/L to .33mL/L.. I use 3L to water daily.. So basically 1mL per feeding of all the base nutrients and the CalMag.. The Floralicious Plus has a bit of nitrogen too so I went down a tad on that as well. I read someone else's grow that says these girls are a bit sensitive to nitrogen.. So that's where I'm at now. Flushed this morning, and now for a small feed tomorrow morning. Will be updating with pics at the end of this week. Later that night.. Went ahead and flushed with just 2L of pH'd water.. Going in - pH: 6.3 PPM: 240.. Runoff - pH: 6.1 PPM: 640... So the PPM is still a bit high, but during the feed tomorrow, it should go down some still.. I should have ALOT of runoff tomorrow. I had the same amount I normally do when I use 3L just from these 2L.. Just cuz its 12 hours early.. The medium was still nice and moist.. And will still be in the AM for the next fertigation. Next day... Waking up this morning, I found that the oldest set of leaves that had been clawed cleared up.. For the most part.. Still dark asf.. But not as much clawing..the newest set were still clawed tho.. Which is understandable.. I made 3L of nutes.. Only used 2L in the AM.. Going in pH: 6.3.. PPM: 420... Runoff pH: 6.2.. PPM: 480... Not bad.. And I still have 1L left over which I am going to have to give her later today.. And will update with the runoff info also. Some say not to worry about the runoff pH.. But I think that is only because when people see it really low, they tend to give make the nutes waaay too high in order to combat the low runoff.. I just make my nutes 6.5 till ai see the runoff coming out at the area that works best for my grows.. Which is 6.2 or 6.3.. Let me explain why I use 6.2 to 6.3... My first 2 grows in coco I was using 5.8 to 6.0.. It worked well in veg but it was only during the transition and beginning of flower that I had calcium defeciency.. GWE website said that in hydroponics/coco that calcium is best absorbed at 6.3 or so.. So ever since I've just ran my girls at 6.2 or 6.3.. No lower, no higher.. The entire grow.. And haven't had any issues with deficiencies since! So that is MY sweet spot.. I may let it drift to 6.1 or 6.4.. But I try not to, for the most part. Later that night... I went ahead and did 1L of pH'd water first.. Then did the 1L of nutrient water.. Runoff came out at 420 PPM 6.2 pH... Nice... Also, I went ahead and ponytailed the top and pulled some of the longer branches on top of the fan leaves.. I'm only going to keep it ponytailed for the rest of the day (6 hours left of lights on).. Never tried this before, but with these super fat indica leaves blocking literally every branch.. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I may do it for another 6 hours tomorrow.. But I havent thought that far into it yet. I just want her and her branches to be long enough to begin some LST by the beginning of next week.. And already more than halfway through this week. Happy with the way things are going, for the most part... Almost end of week.. Ponytailed her again for another 6 hours this morning.. Just trying to give the side branches a little head start before the LST next week. End of week.. Welp.. I couldn't wait one more day to apply some LST.. I went ahead and did it today.. I also removed the bottom node, leaves and branches.. They were weak branches and I figured I could get them to take root and breed some seeds with them using Collidail Silver method! I really like how these branches have grown on this girl! It's like they already grew into a lollipop!!! Still only using the light at 50% power.. Which is helping keep the temps down a bit... Niceeee... I haven't defoliated anything (except the bottom node due to very weak branches and horrible looking leaves.. Which I'm guessing is because they were so low, possibly getting nutrient water on them during watering) but again, cloning those to breed with! She has completely exploded this week! Very happy with this girl! On to the next week!!!...

Hello fellow growers! 🌱 Despite a few bumps along the way, I'm thrilled to share that my contest journey is officially underway. After some delivery hiccups with the controller, the third attempt was the charm – it finally made it to my doorstep! 🚚💨 The initial excitement hit a snag when I faced issues connecting the controller. 🤔 Thankfully, the fantastic support team guided me through the troubleshooting process, and voila! 🛠️ My controller is now up and running smoothly. As I eagerly await the next stages, I haven't ventured into using the light adapter just yet. Stay tuned for updates on my growing adventure! 🌿

Finaly !!! They grow, but still too weak to become something really good ... Cleaned bottoms at the end of the week. Quess all LST and training is finished. Plants small, branches weak, flowers VERY SMALL ... Ehhhh ... Next grow will be super, so lets finish that auto crap ... Thats how i feel. Took fish mix out, will take cal mag, silica acid and bio grow out next ... P.s. so i am sick and bored, so started to show some interest to girls , 5 days in bed is tough... After feed, water, i would do one more water, but this time i went for fat table spoon of molasses / 10 liters of water, plus extra cal/mag feed, some leaves are already showing sings of overfeeding, but plants so small, that i need to do something, ussually to do everything worse ;)) I will try to bump the feed for couple weeks as well. From next week all 2x ;) Have to take out all ec meters from shed, just not to poison girls and soil with overdose ...

were getting close to harvest. lowerd light levels again, around ppfd 600 now. The Buds have an insane smell of fruity/sour sweets.

Growing pretty well so far. I'm excited for this to be a good daytime strain to keep me motivated, in a good mood and hopefully not anxious. She'll be going outside so I'm strengthening her stem so she'll be able to handle outdoor stresses.

Crunch begins her first week of vegetation with a vigorous and open structure. Compared with some of the other plants in the run, she is showing slightly more vertical development, with good spacing between nodes and healthy new growth at the top. The leaves are developing well and the overall green color looks clean and uniform. Still very early, so the interesting part will be watching how her structure and vigor evolve over the next few weeks. 🌱 Seeds by World Breeders Cultivated by Piperoots 🇲🇦 🌱🔥

She's done!! Super, super stinky!!!!!!!! Covered in trichomes!!!!!!!!!!! Will be harvested within 24h.

These buds look fantastic!!..we're about week 2 of their fade and water only from here on out..The GG#4 is shining thru the Peyote Gorilla big time, everything is absolutely coated..we're not overly patient and the extra 2-3weeks on these long flowering strains feels like an eternity but these will be worth waiting for...there's only 2 strains in that tent (ignoring the single White OG) but the pheno variety makes it appear that we have at least 3 distinct strains..for example 1 WIFI smells putrid, heavy diesel tones while the WIFI right next to it (with completely different structure) smells amazing, like Lemmon Pledge lol..the Gorilla smell is fairly consistent across the strain..we plan to check all plants under the glass at the end of this week because I suspect they'll finish at separate times.. we'll update again midweek..thanks for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Did some major defoliation. Seems to be working good!

This week went ok to. notice last time I updated my diary she started going into the flower so I've swapped to expert nutrients bloom with a ph of 6.8 . I don't think she is going to be anything too special which is okay because it tells me I have some work to do . I'm going to try breeding the seeds that I have with a larger auto at the end of year . Thank you for looking up the diary and will be an update next week 🌱👍

She was lagging a bit behind so I gave her a good dose of overdrive to give her a second wind for more bulking. Kicked in a 600hps for a wider spectrum. Decided to try Schwazzing. Pretty I'mpressed with this method. I highly recommend this!

Day 50 Both plants received their first feeding of Future Harvest Holland Secret 3 part combo and in less than 12 hours have perked up and look very energetic! If all goes well I will hopefully flipping to bloom in week 9 or 10

Day 106 12/25/2021 being of a new week and this will be more than likely the last week this lady gets any nutrients thinking Wednesday. After that will start flush with collected rain water. After checking trichomes they were about 85% cloudy about 10% clear and 5% amber which is right where she should be since the end is coming fast. Day 110 12/29/2021- Started flush today and will continue to just feed rain water until next Wednesday. Will cut her down next Friday 01/07/2022.
