So a bit of a setback this week to report. We took a direct hit from Tropical Storm Ophilia on Friday/Sat and Monday i had a dead limb. Dont think it was the storm though as it wasnt broken at all so im thinking some type of boring worm or something. Chopped that limb off and havnt looked back. Finally saw some sunlight for the first time in over a week yesterday! Cooler temps i have cut back on water from 4 gal/ day to current 2 gal/day. Still feeding top scratch every 3 days or every three waterings. Keeping up with mold and bug issues, very little of either, Lost Coast Plant therapy and BT are my friends. Hope everyone else is having good harvests this fall, till next week!

Have some deficiencies or ph imbalance still troubleshooting. The pH was off but now everything is back on track. I have some amber on the watermelon, the northern light is milky from top to bottom but no amber yet The smell is pretty strong I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish tanks. Made some live soil and added horse manure, homemade bone meal from fish bones, compost from vegetable scraps and black soldier fly frass. I do not use chemicals on any of my grows.

What up fam, weekly update on these ladies. So far they've dealt with the heat like champs. Thankfully I got my AC fixed and it's back up and running. So thank God as we're having a heat wave still with day temps in the high 90's. They're getting fed 16oz of fed daily. It's looking like maybe another week or two before they'll get harvested. All in all Happy Growing.

Well I thought I'd give Sweet seeds Red Poison auto a shot this round and so far she's looking nice and strong. She's only getting overcast days so far. I started her in a solo cup with suits in it and transplanted her into a 10ltr pot to stay. 10ltrs bcoz it's I'm in the middle of autumn right now so she should get to big but ya never know hey. I started her in a home made seed mix and then into Canna terra pro mixed with a bit more perlite with no feeding unless she says otherwise. And I really hope to be in the outdoors Sweet seeds comp and pets pics..but I'm in Oz so maybe not..pls SS..☮️

Look out for my next grown fast budz gorilla cookies and a other crack at blueberryz

Week 8 - second week of flower One plant is much smaller - still not confident on sex of any of them ... maybe that small one is a male - I’m guessing they’re all female tho. Either way i may need to slaughter that little guy - the other plants are just overtaking the tent - might not be worth keeping that little one in there. Update 6/5/19 - I’ll take some updated pics tomorrow - I’m 95% sure I have FOUR out of four female plants. Just picked up some yucca to try - and I got some more led hangers so maybe I’ll upgrade the lights today - the rapidLED far red flower initiator isn’t coming until Wednesday unfortunately but I have two more SolStix I could add. Update 6/5/19 - far red flower initiator and the two (now 4) solstix are installed - I need to make a simple aluminum frame - maybe this weekend Picked up some 29% H202 to clean the rez tank and pumps and filter etc (not to put in the nutes for the plants tho!) Got a better air pump and airstone for the rez. New Vivosun oscillating fan - wtf!? Made for grow tents but can’t turn without stopping on the sides of the tent!? - I emailed them maybe it’s defective.

Day 1 ....add additional soil, water and 1st topping Day 3 - checked for 2nd topping Day 5- watering....strong stems already

El día 19 de floración se hace poda de brotes bajos y una pequeña defoliación de hojas de abanico 👍

They are exploding right now. Week 2 Flower Begins. The drank 34 Liters in 6 days from the Autopot Reservoir. Airdomes are all on full blast during lights off.....contemplating one more LST Training over the next day or so.....we shall see. Nov 3rd Update....Holy shit....They have gone through 35 litres of Nutrients since Wed...3 days ago. I have hung up the second Scrog net and will start to guide the tops through over the next few days. I have also added a little supplemental lighting to get them in the mood: 3 Bloom LED strips...I can probably hang them a little lower...

Monstrous growth, preflower stage now. All going well, responding well to LST and bio buzz nutrients

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

Die Nachzüglerinnen kommen super in die blüte, trotz 16h Helligkeit ! Beide Sorten eigenen sich super für große und sehr große Gefäße! Wuchsverhalten und Struktur gefallen mir extrem gut. Widerstandsfähig gegenüber Schnecken und Thripse! Hatten bis jetzt überhaupt keine Mängel, bin geflasht vom Dünger und selbst angemixter erde. 🍀🐝

Ufff el balcón está en llamas, ya me preocupa la discreción de mis chicas ante los vecinos mirones

Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

Firstly, the video of the popcorn bud from the mother plant, is showing what’s known as xylem sap from a process known as guttation. I never new that until this. Additionally, I am sorry to have missed out on so much documentation. I can talk forever about my plants so this will be short and to the point. Fast vigorous growth. Very resilient and hardy strain able to shrug of cold damp conditions, and freezing nights down to 32 Fahrenheit. The immune system seemed to be very strong. Never did I find any pathogens or even pests! A few but those little ghost spiders really helped out. During harvest, a thorough inspection resulting in surprisingly clean product! Finishing with large “airy” buds with fat bracts covered in trichomes. A rich musky cheese smell that surprisingly tastes of berries! I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself. But I was able to finish cure and smoke test the mom before harvesting the clone. Finally: this fast 50-60 day pheno will continue popping new bracts up to 90 days!!!! Or at least the mother in the tent did. Also, the dry weight is an approximation as I’m not finished with trim.

Well i figured i would try some different this week. I main lined her and topped her on day 9. Lets watch and see how she responds. I feel as though doing this early in veg will allow her more time to adjust before flower. Towards the end of the week 2, four days after the HST....we see 2 new main top braches coming in, as well as some action at the internodal cut point which is indicating a "Fimm" job rather my prior presumption of topping the plant. None the less i am excited to see her grow, and i intend on letting her grow naturally beyond this point....just to see the results.

This week I’ve noticed a couple of fungus gnats on site. Not so happy, but I will keep my eye on the situation.

It was the last week with nutrients, from now only water. 6-10% of trichomes already amber. Это была последняя неделя с удобрениями. Трихомы начали желтеть, пока наблюдаю.
