Harvest time! Only this time there were some problems that made me take another approach. The thrips are still active so I thought it would not be very wise to lock them up together with the bud inside a paper bag. So I’ve decided to just cut the entire top part of the plant main stem and all, and hang them inside the top of the tent. But ofcourse not before I have given them a thorough shake. Then from the lower part of the plant where still some bigger buds, which I’ve also cut, trimmed and shaken clean, before they did ended up inside the bag, leaving just the lowest part of the plant with all of the small buds I’ve intended to use to germinate and create some seeds. At this point the remaining part of the plants are inside my small garden greenhouse, and I’ll keep you posted if it’s going to succeed. Normally I’d preferred to trim the bigger leaf from the wet branches, then dry inside my paper bag and finally trimming the dry buds for bringing up the final bag appeal. Only now I’d chose to only remove the fan leaf and hang drying. I turned the ventilation almost on the lowest setting during drying. As I said with the strain review, I’m happy with the results from plant A and C. Plant B started revegging, and thus ended up with a lower end weight. A shame because it had the biggest buds. The positive thing about dry trimming is that you don’t actually have to trim anything, it takes a bit more time, but you can literally push the leafs from the bud.

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

🌱 Flowering Update – Full Week 5 Breakdown → Entering Week 6 Week 5 was focused on entering full bulking mode with a controlled increase in volume and EC, followed by a deliberate pause to restore root oxygenation after several heavy feeds. 💧 Irrigation & Nutrition – Week 5 (Exact Recipes) Start of Week 5 – 7/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 109 ml • Top·Max: 22–23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 28 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ First full-volume bulking feed. Strong uptake and no lockout signs. Mid Week 5 – 9/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 133 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ Bio·Bloom increased to push flower mass. Plants responded with visible calyx stacking. End of Week 5 – PK Introduction – 11/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.640 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6 ml • Bio·Bloom: 115 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml • PK 13/14: 6 ml ➡️ Controlled PK introduction. EC peaked safely. Minor tip burn confirmed we were at the productive upper limit. Recovery Feed – 13/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.370 mS · pH: 6.2 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 25 ml • Bio·Grow: 5 ml • Bio·Bloom: 105 ml • Top·Max: 22 ml • Bio·Heaven: 20 ml • Bud Candy: 36 ml • Atazyme: 22 ml ➡️ Intentional reduction to let the substrate breathe after multiple heavy irrigations. 🌡️ Environmental Data (Week 5 Averages) • Day: 24–25 °C • Night: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 50–55 % • VPD: ~1.0–1.3 kPa • PPFD: ~880–920 µmol/m²/s • DLI: ~39–40 mol/day Stable conditions allowed efficient nutrient uptake without excess transpiration. 🧠 Plant Response • Strong structure supporting increasing flower weight • Active bulking phase (buds still stacking) • Minor tip burn = intentional high-performance feeding • Color differences consistent with F1 phenotype variability, not deficiencies 🔜 Focus for Week 6 • Resume irrigation only when pots are clearly light • Next feed: flowering base without PK • Following feed: single, targeted PK 35/60 application • Maintain PPFD below 920 (no CO₂ this cycle) • Preserve night temperature differential to enhance density and color expression Week 5 set the foundation for final mass. Week 6 is about precision finishing, not pushing numbers.

These plants are looking soooo much better, their color is starting to improve.. These Kritial-K are my absolute favorite in the tent, once this grow is over we may buy sevral packs of this.. they're easy, forgiving and look to be massive producers with a little training.. Verdict is still out on smoke quality but if its anything like our last Kannabia strains, its prob a winner.. The Solux is at 75$/14" and im starting to wonder if we'll even need to turn it to 100%.. they're getting more than enough light like this but we may increase power for the last 3-4 weeks of flower (a light meter would be a great one day lol).. not too much else to report, I think we're in for smooth sailing until harvest at this point.. thanks as always for checking us out and happy harvests everyone!!! ⚡Hortibloom/Solux 350⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM281 Pro / Osram DR (1,440 total)💡 Driver: Inventronics 350 watt🔌 PPF: 1015 μmol/s ☢️ PPE: 2.9 µmol/j 〰️〰️ Lifespan: 50k+ hrs ⌛ Weight: 14.3lbs lbs (6.5kg) Veg Coverage: 5 x 5 ft 🌱 Flowering Coverage: 4 x 4 ft 🌼 -Uses an aluminum heatsink (no fan), quiet while operating 👂⬇️ -IP65 waterproof ratings, tolerant to high humidity grow environments 💦 -May be daisy-chained via RJ14 and managed from a single controller 💡~💡~💡~💡~💡 🌎 https://hortibloom.com/products/solux-350-led-grow-light ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Big week, started to strap down the trees. Tied branches to main stem and stakes around the plants so as to open them up a bit and provide support in case of windy conditions. Only staked the pair and not the three in the back yet. This was a bit of a mistake as the big one in the back needed it sooner. Defoliation of note... need to keep defoliating these trees all the time. Pretty relaxing though...

She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize growth before flowering and to prevent (hopefully) them going hermie on me, which both Gorillas and Orange Hill Special are prone to. I have made a video to thank them for letting me use their SP-3000. What a beast of a light!! Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for letting me test this awesome light! I have made a new layer of topsoil made of organic coco-peat, which should help me prevent more fungus gnats. They already seem to hate it and are wandering around in agony trying to dig in... Good for them, freeloading beastards. Now we go to flowering coming weeks, and I can't wait... Thanks for checking in and the likes and support!

Ciao a tutti! C'è stata un'accellerata imprevista e così mi sa che raccoglierò una settimana prima del previsto! Tra 3 o 4 giorni taglio tutto! Ho svuotato completamente i vasi e ho messo solamente acqua liscia per far sì che le radici scarichino bene tutti i nutrimenti ancora presenti. Devo registrare purtroppo un piccolo problema di muffa, dovuto sicuramente all'umidificatore (purtroppo ho dovuto tenerlo acceso per tenere bassa la temperatura) in quanto si è formata sugli 8 apicali della pianta più vicina ad esso. Ho dovuto purtroppo tagliarli e buttarli via quasi per intero, ci avrò rimesso una ventina di grammi, anche 30. Post memoria per me: l'anno prossimo a luglio non devo avere niente e iniziare il ciclo a metà agosto con le temperature più accessibili. Comunque sta andando benissimo a parte l'imprevisto, non vedo l'ora di raccogliere e fumare! Ci vediamo la prossima per l'ultima settimana 🤣🤣🍀🍀💪🏼💪🏼

The el dorado og is a fast growing plant. I can tell this plant is going to be a strecher. Also this plant in particular loves water. It prefers to have the soil watered again when the soil is still a little damp this strain starts to show stress from lack of water if you let the soil dry out to much It’s day 41 from seed all of the plants are starting to really take off.
