Plant took well to topping, mainlining, and heavy defoliation and bounced back right away. Stretched quite a bit during flower and stayed relatively uniform. Could have probably top dressed every 2 weeks instead of 3 and leaf to calyx ratio was also a bit more on the leafy side but still produced some nice buds. Overall an easy grow without any issues.

Finally moving the gorilla cookie to the flowering room. Feels like work with this sore rib, but glad to have the transplant done and pray I wake up with it still alive lol. White LSD soon to follow and complete the 4-bucket DWC system…

Frosting and thickening up nicely, no sign of milky trichs yet. Hopefully done in about 2 weeks.

Been a smooth week for the most part. Started them on some armor si and humic/fulvic acid. I thought the twisted helix had a root issue but after watching the growth there is a genetic issue with this this plant. The branches are growing abnormal and she is not happy. I will probably be switching them to flower at the end of week 4 and I have a sour sorbet that will be making an appearance when I flip them to flower. She has been vegging in a different room for about 6 weeks. I will be doing a little training throughout next week to get them spread out.

Welcome to Week 11! It’s been a pretty quiet and uncomplicated week on the outdoor front. The weather has been good—warm, dry, and holding steady at around 40% RH, which is keeping the buds safe and happy. Structure & Development: The structure on this lady is turning out incredible. Thanks to the early training, she has developed several heavy, well-stacked main colas that are all sitting at almost the same height. Those violet buds are still looking absolutely excellent under the natural sunlight, and they are packing on a lot of visual appeal. Trichome Update: Checking the trichomes this week, they aren't quite at that perfect harvest ratio just yet. There are still a bit too many clear ones in the mix, so she will very likely stand for at least another week to fully mature and maximize her potential. Patience is a virtue, and she is definitely worth the wait! The Black Orchid Auto is getting chopped in the coming days, so don't forget to swing by her diary on my profile to see the final pre-harvest look!

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle. Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today 😂😂

Girls doing well but have run into some calcium deficiency which will hopefully be fixed soon.

week intel: we had some dear guests of family from foreign country to meet again after years so i had to make some free space for their stuff therefore girls are going to be gusts too for a week in their neighbors home :D some times unpredicted things happen you must be ready to change at any time , so i moved some and chopped off weak ones stresses : E.C stress around 1.2 3 times per week feeding: replaced b-52 with Bloom base nutrient i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 631 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them high dose of Top-Max + Bloom Base nutrient around 600 ppm - 1.2 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 630 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause stress this last week guide of the week : we are in the final phases of this run , i'm happy about quality but depressed about quantity :D

Purple shot this is definitely the extended version to her sister next to her little and large. Trying to get a better picture of the size of her she's about 6foot Here's a little video of the biggest bitch in town.

went a bit down with ‚Autoflower Supermix‘ (22ml/10L) 7.06.2026: reduced light to 18hrs because some of the upper leaves were tacoing

Le2em est top le premier est plus gros plus en retard et sauterelle et chenille en vue!!

Battling some issues lets see how this week goes That lil platinum mimosa cookies its dense af

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

Smell Like Fruits

Nothing special this week. I've defoliated the plants this week even though I've planned to to that next week, but it was just getting too messy. I'll need to defoliate even more later this week so that I can switch them to a 12H cycle on the 7th week, and not cause too much stress doing both things at once. Happy growing 🌿

So that's a week n a few days of flushing done and she's looking ready for the chop! Beautiful colours in and around buds now and absolutely covered in trichomes. I can't post close up pics of trichomes unfortunately cos I don't have a camera with the magnification it needs. Just gonna wait another few days and harvest then. Happy days 😁

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!
