🌍

This was my very first grow ever, so it's hard for me to judge how it went, but I definitely think I made a few mistakes along the way. I didn't feed her much, and I probably ran into some pH issues too. The roots eventually reached the bottom reservoir, and I kept topping it up with unpHed tap water, so she kind of ended up transitioning into a semi-hydro setup without me really planning for it. I only had an airstone in the reservoir that was turning on/off every 15 minutes. I harvested her on day 97 and dried her in the same tent at around 60% humidity. Unfortunately, I had no way to bring the temperature down to around 15°C, it stayed between 21–24°C the whole time. After about 10 days, she was already dry. I could still smell a bit of that fresh-cut grass scent, so I'm guessing I may have lost some terps during drying. I trimmed her as best as I could, and the final dry weight came out to 138 grams. She’s curing now in glass jars, and I added a small humidity meter inside. So far it’s holding steady at 62%.

This week started of good except for ph and iron. I'm phing feed and water to 6 but my naturally 7.6 ph water is raising ph. I've realized my water and organic soil don't have iron in them. It's keeping these from greening up properly. I do have blood meal in the soil but not enough. I'll be adding an iron supplement next week when it arrives. Until then I'm going to feed a little masses and blood meal with the ph water. I've had a difficult learning curve switching from coco and salts to organic and soil. #2 got topped on day 1. I'm going to clone this top so I'll have this plant for the future.

All good flowers are coming along nicely and getting thicker. 500ml water per day 12/12, fertilization happens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the mix above. All good so far I just keep removing the bottom leaves that are yellowish. Fruit Tree will be the quickest to be harvested all of them are nicely maturing needs some more time. Some more weeks and we will see.

All I can say is dam about this one , she smells awsome , structure is great and she handles stress and training no problem .. The team @originalsensibleseeds has it down right here with this strain .. I'm getting excited to see how shee will look in the next 3 weeks ..

Not bad for 2 weeks from seedling stage first time all organic coco my babies were looking pale and yellow edges last week thought oh they were right....nope went to basics... Foliar clone strength GH synthetic on them to make them happy and found the issue with meat thermometer... Coco is very aerated....temp was 65f! Placed heat mat and all goody now! Coco+wet+dry organic = win. No raised pots. No runoff. Same with my other bigger tent....ull see...still good idea to gentle runoff flush once every stage. I hit these with my diy bud factor$ which is way better than that ripoff stuff. Today i hit them with very light mist yucca, brass, bap, fulvic, 2 organic acids, vitamin c Calcium, tria, and ton of GA3 (🤭😈). I hit the top left hindsight to drip to see what it does to it vs its sister which looks very uniform. Guess which one will be the most stretchy and less bushy?

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Buds buds and more buds!

Auto Gorilla 00 está a surpreender a cada dia que passa, muito boa semente ao preço que é, estou contente, vamos começar na engorda das lindas flores, abraço companheiros.✌️🌱

When it should start flowering?

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Hello everyone, These girls are doing good, only 3 left the others where boys so they had to go, but these are starting flowering, getting tall not so bushy, lets see how they go... See you guys next week🤘🤘👊👊👊

Tag 112: Zeit zum Spülen bzw. Ich gebe keinen Dünger mehr. Weil die Shogun doch schon recht hell/gelb ist, aber gebe ich noch Alg a mic dazu um noch etwas grün zu erhalten. Das Wetter hier spielt mir mal mehr mal weniger in Karten, der Sommer dieses Jahr ist sehr durchwachsen 😬

Woche 3 - Tägliches Gießen und weitere Düngerzugabe In der dritten Woche wurde die Wassermenge weiter angepasst, um dem kontinuierlichen Wachstum der Pflanzen gerecht zu werden. Ab dieser Woche wurde jeden Tag gegossen, wobei die Menge bis Ende der Woche auf 0,45 Liter pro Tag erhöht wurde. Es ist nach wie vor nur ein Ventilator im Einsatz, um die Luftzirkulation zu gewährleisten. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde weiterhin durch Tücher und Teller reguliert, indem täglich 500 ml Wasser verwendet wurden. Am 27.04.2024 wurde die zweite Düngerladung verabreicht, diesmal mit einem Verhältnis von 30 ml Canna Terra auf 10 Liter Wasser. Das Wasser hatte einen EC-Wert von 1,28 und einen pH-Wert von 5,9. Die Pflanzen zeigten keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffmangel oder -überschuss. Am Ende der dritten Woche hatten die Pflanzen bereits fünf Noden entwickelt und wuchsen mittlerweile täglich um knapp 1 cm. Die Pflanzen sahen weiterhin sehr gesund aus und waren auf einem guten Weg, kräftig zu gedeihen. ENGLISH Week 3 - Daily Watering and Continued Nutrient Feeding In the third week, I further adjusted the water amount to support the plants' consistent growth. From this week, the plants were watered daily, with the amount increased to 0.45 liters per day by the end of the week. There was still only one fan in use to provide air circulation, and humidity continued to be regulated manually using towels and plates, with 500 ml of water daily. On April 27th, 2024, the second dose of nutrients was applied, with a ratio of 30 ml Canna Terra per 10 liters of water. The water had an EC of 1.28 and a pH of 5.9. The plants showed no signs of nutrient deficiency or excess. By the end of the third week, the plants had developed five nodes and were growing about 1 cm per day. They remained very healthy and were thriving.

Everything went smoothly this week she has stop growing vertical now she fattening up

Day 43 of flower and its looking good moved some branches around to improve light penetration love to Hear from you guys in the comments Day 44 ph 6.1 ppm at 350 Day 46 ph 6.3 ppm 270 Day 49 ph 5.9 ppm 300 removed the nuts added the dense nut at 300ppm will do this for 2 days and flush after that for a week or so so close to done one of the tops of the small plant got bud mold was removed hope it will be the only one to happen to

On Day 85 i mixed 6l of water with 20ml of Lab some melasse and some supervite and gave each plant 3l of it On Day 87 i gave mixed 2l of water with 5ml of phospor plus some supervite and ec 0.8 ph 6.6. I gave each plant 1l of this thrue the underpot. Then i mixed 3l of water with 6ml of blüh boost some supervite 3ml of calmag and some alg a mic. I gave the left plant 1l and the right 2l of this solution. On Day 89 i mixed 3l of water with some supervite and 3ml ofcalmag. And gave the left one 1l and the right one 2l.
