Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

Just flushing. I think one more week

I'm on week 4 I've been keeping it light on nutes. I've noticed slow growth it seems compared to others in week 4. Also I think my plants are stretching they are skinny but the stem is beginning to get thick. I wanted to LST but I don't think they are strong enough yet. Any insight as to why they may be growing this way would be appreciated!

Bonjour à tous. Le 5 septembre jour 31 pour ma Boy. Elle grandi doucement, je lui ai fait un Topping et j'ai laissé que 2 étages pour essayer la technique du Mainlining. Je lui donne 1ml/l de bioroots et j'ai augmenté la dose du biogrow à 1ml/l. Elle commence à avoir de bonne racines c'est cool. Voilà c'est tout pour l'instant. Merci d'être passé me voir, laissez moi un like si le coeur vous en dit. Peace and Grow for All..🌱🌿🌲

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well!

She is a littlw bit fluffy but very frost. Chopping next week.

Plant grew very fast last week. Will give more nutrients from next watering. Has very nice sweety/skunky smell, and pretty strong for week 6. Very little purple color can be seen on buds. Day 36 - 3,5L water. Day 39 - Wanted to bend main cola stem a little bit more, ended up with broken stem. Luckily it broke for only 20-25% This day already sucks. Attached it to main stem., you can see it on a video. Hopefully it will end up with just a little stress. 3,5L with nutrients, started to give Big Bud. Peace

An in to soil she and her sister testers go, i know that for know everything looks the same , apart from the photos, but this will start changing with them growing. For now all of them are growing pretty much the same and now that they move in to soil and start feedings they will start showing the phenotype and genetic differences, but for now all looking great , healthy and strong af!!! Haded a intro video from seed in to now, including how i transplant and what i use wen doing it so, and from here the moon is no limit for this babes i believe , so stay tuned as this testers they promise to be a interesting ride <3 <3 <3 She is growing amazing as all of them are, this one in particular is my favorite, but for now the only reason is her being number 9 hehehe As always thank you all for stoping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - Fast Buds Tester 08 09 10 11 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Let's talk about our Jealousy girls from Zamnesia Seeds. We have one Jealousy (1) at 15 weeks and another Jealousy (2) at 14 weeks. Jealousy (1), nicknamed 'the first,' has been on a water-only regimen for two weeks now. For the past three days, instead of regular watering, we've been adding ice to her pot to give her a little stress. Meanwhile, Jealousy (2), or 'the second,' is still enjoying her nutrient diet with TDS at 1800 ppm and pH at 6.2. However, Jealousy (1) has started showing signs of yellowing leaves and around 30% of her trichomes have turned brown. We're planning to harvest Jealousy (1) by the end of the week on March 3, 2024. As for Jealousy (2), she's still growing strong!

Espectacular aroma a dulce!!!!!!! 😍😋😋

E qui invece commentiamo il raccolto! Le cime si presentano belle piene e gonfie sono durissime! Sono a 23 giorni dal raccolto sono circa due settimane che sto facendo la concia ora è secca bene e ho iniziato ad assaggiarla! L’odore è il gusto si stanno ancora facendo sicuramente tra una settimana sarà meglio ma è molto dolce! Lo sballo e molto forte principalmente corporeo ti incolla al divano fatichi a parlare consigliata di sera se vuoi farti una bella dormita! Tutta via se riesci a non addormentarti diventa molto creativa e chiacchierina! Se vi è piaciuto il mio lavoro continuate a seguirmi nelle prossime avventure e supportatemi lasciando un like! 👍👍 Maryjane23 🤪🤪
