Week 7: Flowering Stage – The Frost Factory & Bud Swelling 🦍❄️ ​Development: 🌿 We have officially advanced into Week 7 of bloom, and the Gorilla Z is turning into an absolute masterpiece. The resin production is skyrocketing—the sugar leaves and calyxes are heavily coated in a thick blanket of glittering trichomes, filling the air with a pungent, sweet, and gassy terpene profile. The buds are swelling massively, packing on dense weight and expanding in size along the strong, supportive branches. Almost all of her energy is now locked into final flower maturation and maximizing potency. 🚀📈 ​Setup & Environment: 🌡️ She continues to thrive inside her outdoor greenhouse shelter. The environment is warm and bright, allowing the plant to push its resin defenses to the absolute limit under the natural sun. Excellent passive ventilation is keeping the airflow constant around the dense flower clusters, which is vital for keeping the humidity down inside the heavy canopy during this deep maturation phase. ☀️🌦️ ​Nutrients & Water 💧 ​Watering: Consuming a steady amount of water to keep the metabolic processes active. I am strictly maintaining the wet-to-dry cycle to ensure the root zone stays healthy and properly oxygenated. ​Feed (per Liter): ​Fish·Mix: 3 ml ​Bio·Bloom: 3 ml ​Top·Max: 1 ml ​Acti·Vera: 3 ml ​Bio·Heaven: 3 ml ​CalMag: 1 ml ​Grower’s Notes 💭 ​Goal for this week: Support the peak flower development and monitor trichome cloudiness. The colas are becoming extremely heavy, compact, and sticky to the touch. The genetics are really shining through now with that legendary Gorilla frost combined with a rich, candy-like undertone. We are getting closer to the finish line, and she is looking incredibly promising! 🦍🔥

3. November Alle drei Pflanzen weiterhin topfit. Trauermücken aufgetreten. Habe das abgelaufene Päckchen nematoden für die runtz genutzt. Hoffe es bringt was 4. November Cookies Gelato hat den harten Mainlinecut bekommen. Spitze wurde entfernt, Seitenteile wurden direkt danach abgeschnitten. Sie wird’s schon wegstecken. Tropimango und runtz geht’s gut :) Cookie gelato hat bereits wenige Stunden später die Blätter wieder hoch gestreckt. Stagniert. 5. November Alles gut. Die Schnitte wurden gut verkraftet. Triebe wachsen wieder Cookies gelato ist nun 21 Tage alt. Tropimango ist nun 18 Tage alt. Runtz ist nun 7 Tage Alt. 7. November Cookies gelato wächst. Sobald die Klammern da sind wird sie runtergebunden Tropimango hat schnitte und Lst bekommen. Topping werde ich noch abwarten. Runtz wächst 8. November Cookies gelato hat LST + mainlineschnitte erhalten. Wurde nicht mit gießen kombiniert da ich gestern gegossen habe. Tropimango erneut LST. Runtz wächst. Sieht aus als würde sie langsam ins Wachstum wechseln. Erster Triebe am einzahnblatt kommen. Dreizahnblatt erst frisch entwickelt. 9. November Cookies gelato wurde das erste mal zusätzlich mit Sugar Royal und calmag versorgt. Hab’s davor vergessen 😅 Shit Happens. Wurzeldünger gibt es konstant weiter. Runtz wurde mit wurzeldünger und calmag versorgt Tropimango hat noch sehr feuchte Erde. Keine Ahnung wieso.

Day 28: - Did some LST, not that spectacular since the branches are small and not growing fast enough. - Did some defoliation to make sure that my nodes get the light they need instead of getting shadowed from fan leafs. - It was time to add some Suger Royal into my feedings. They will probily preflower anytime soon and make their final stretch. Lets hope those branches will increase alot in size, but I don't expect them to be large since there is barely sun nor heat. Lets hope for the best, stick arround to find out! Until next week!

Day 78 Day 28 flower 19/07/24 Friday Started the week with a good watering as she had a double feed end of last week. She took 4L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 and no run off, added another 1L and see run off forming on all sides. She is a happy, strong 💪 plant !! The buds development is nice on this strain! I like to see the calyxes stacked like this, I'll get some macros tomorrow. Smelling like lemon sherbet it's insane 🤯 or a old school sweety shop. Day 79 Day 29 flower 20/07/24 Saturday Nothing to report. Day 80 Day 30 Flower 21/07/24 Sunday Big feed again, de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 added nutrients. Seeing her stack now 🤩 Smells getting stronger daily 🙌 💚 Added a short video. Day 81 Day 31 Flower 22/07/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water only today pH 5.9 and watered in 5L had a little run off. She is getting so thirsty it's awesome! She is starting to stack them calyxes. Update on pictures and video 📸🤩 Day 82 Day 32 Flower 23/07/24 Tuesday FEED again today , De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Full 5L had about 300ml run off. She is so thirsty !! 5L a day now. But it's showing, calyxes are stacking beautifully, the trichomes production is nice and starting to have a magical effect with flash 📸 🤩 Day 83 Day 33 Flower 24/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Did 4L and started to see run off so left at that. Day 84 Day 34 Flower 25/07/24 Thursday END OF WEEK She really has packed on weight this week, thirst and hunger is hard to keep up 😅 Smells phenomenal, looks insane. Pic+Vid update

Plant has been getting straight pH balanced water this last week and minimal nutes. It is showing some slight nute burn so I let off a bit and raised the light canopy about 6”. I discovered that what I thought was a calcium or potassium deficiency was actually a rookie grower error by me. I have an RO system that I use to water all my strains in the grow room including this one, but when adding nutes to the water, it takes too long so I had been filling them up with well water. When I had originally tested the well water, I must had used a faulty testing agent as after testing it this last week, I was showing a pH of 7.5 vs. my RO of 6.2. Thus, every time I was adding nutes (multiple times a week) I was significantly fluctuating the pH between regular feedings and nutrient additions. To make matters worse, when I originally thought it was nute burn, I flushed each plant with well water and likely caused additional stress. Anyway, I have since learned that the well water needs to be treated, I only utilize RO water the last few days and plan to do so over this next week. Also, I have turned off the CO2 system as I was starting to see signs of heat stress on a couple of the strains (not this one). The literature I have reviewed suggested that these strains might be able to handle heat closer to 90F but it was also causing issues with high humidity so when I added a dehumidifier, it pushed the day temp to between 90-92F and the overnight temps were not getting low enough (maybe 85F or so). Maybe I could leave out the dehumidifier, but I was getting rH of 70% and didn’t want to risk any bud rot or mildew growth. So for now, I have turned off the CO2 and am getting high temps of 81F with 60% humidity and overnight temps of 74F and 50% humidity. The Future #1 has shown the least signs of stress and is fattening up its buds very nicely. Over the next few weeks I will start monitoring the trichomes for a nice milky color for harvesting.

Die Pflanze beginnt jetzt in die Blüte zu gehen, daher habe ich Sie heute komplett entlaubt, damit alle kommenden Buds genug Licht bekommen. Die Pflanze mag zu vorher zwar sehr dünn aussehen, aber wird sich nach 1- 2 Tagen erholen und umso besser wachsen. Ich habe nach dem 70% zu 30% Prinzip auch alle unteren Blätter entfernt, sie bekommen grundsätzlich nicht genug Licht und lohnen sich daher kaum zu behalten. Wenn man sieht das viele Triebe aufeinander liegen und dadurch Feuchtigkeit entsteht sollte man den schwächeren der Beiden entfernen, da es zu Schimmel während der Bud Entwicklung kommen kann. Je früher desto besser da es sich nur um verschwendete Energie handelt wenn man Sie später eh entfernen muss.

Yo, what’s up, friends! Harvest day is getting closer 😍 Cannalope Haze is pretty much ready, but I’m holding off until Sleepy Joe catches up — I think just a few more days. The trichomes are mostly milky, with a few amber ones showing, which is exactly how I like it for a more uplifting effect to keep me productive throughout the day. For drying, I’ll hang the plants in my tent and aim for 20°C and 60% relative humidity. Let’s see how it goes—I’m excited to see the final result. Stay tuned for updates!

I assume this Gz #1 Week 8(d50) Gz #2 week 10(d71)chopped:) Gz #3 week 8(d50) Gz #4 week 8(d52) but maturing faster(chopped:) Gz #5 week 9(d62)last week( chopped:) Gz #6 week 8(d50) This week 2 days raining but rest of it is sunny. One plant is faded more than others and i will chop it one week sooner. Only 4 plant give light organic and then tap water for a week or more.

Fed them about 15 days ago started to show some deficiencies but they should start being absorbed by the plant now so hopefully they do well in the last 5 weeks of life hopefully I'll drop the temperatures down enough to where they'll go purple I'm praying that they do any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks for stopping by

After three weeks in the solo cups I transplanted to 1 gallon pots and three days later I noticed yellowing on one of the plants so in 16oz of water I mixed in 1/4 tsp of Epsom salt and gave it to both plants in fear of magnesium deficiency but the other plant is thriving and growing strong.

Harvest day 11/3/23 - day 56 Sent about 2lbs of trim, larf, and sugar leaves to vacuum seal and the freezer for bubble hash later. Unsure of the weight of the buds hanging, but I can say it is more than I expected that is for sure! Excited to get a weight here in 5-6 days before trimming and jarring. I ended up having to cut the plant down in smaller pieces due to the trellis netting. Also due to the fact I planned to utilize the tent for drying, I needed to be able to completely remove the DWC setup and adjust the ventilation and net to use as hanging. 11/11 Final result picture: 1 jar of sugar trim - for RSO or bubble 1 jar of stems - for RSO or bubble L (lower quality bud jars) 0.75oz, 0.75oz, 0.65oz = total 2.15oz M (middle-quality bud jar) 0.9oz, 0.65oz = 1.55oz T (top quality bud jar) 0.75oz = 0.75oz TT (super top quality bud jar) 0.75oz, 0.45oz = 1.2oz total dried and curing in jars: 5.65 ounces about 2lbs of frozen plant material for bubble hash 1 full jar of sugar trim for bubble or rso 1 full jar of stems for bubble or rso 11/29 update Made just under 6 grams of bubble hash from the trim and larf (one wash). Recooked the single wash trim and larf into butter with additional sugar trim added. Made about 1lb of butter - dosing unsure, but potent :D

10/15 Same stuff, just keeping it stable is all I'm trying to do. Update 10/18 - Heat was ridiculous this week, had to turn one or more light features off, for example, turned off the HPS -AND- the LED circuit on the Phlizon on the hottest day because inside the tent it was like 91 degrees F. Yeah it may not be the perfect environment, but look at the growth from the 15th til today. Major flowering happening, unless I am tripping. I see a lot more healthy growth now, which in my opinion means the transplant idea was SO WORTH IT. I see a lot of crystals forming now and the tops the leaves are turning more white that I could hav imagined -- with two more weeks at least to go, I think I may have some bomb flowers if I dont fuck anything up. Northern light to the left in video has more to go and is not as far along as the Vanilla Frosting. 10/20 Added some new nutes for the last two weeks of flower, bubbling like a madman wanting this grow to finish. White Widow (three plants outdoors) will probably finish in the tent, its just really in stasis but it is getting some frosting of its own. BTW when I smelled the flowers yesterday I was blown away by how awesome they smell, like seriously boutique top shelf aromas going on, this is my first grow indoors and really the first time I have been able to give the attention and care these babies need. I have learned SO much. Especially about stuff I was clueless about before. Like which lights are good. What tent size to get. Ph, nutes, watering, relative humidity, cloning... all new stuff. I have become a better gardener as a result and my 200 sq ft community garden plot is doing way better and I expect next year to be bonkers because I really get the whole ecosystem thing now and how mycorrhizae helps everything. This video helped me a ton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg&ab_channel=ApogeeInstrumentsInc. and this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq_wl8XRUK4&ab_channel=GrowersNetwork Also, really check out Phlizon lights (CREE COB) if your tent can handle the heat. I am already planning my next grow, and I am going high CDB autos... solomatic and fast eddy.
