Welcome week 3 defo no more stretch few more days and will lolipop and let her fattens those flowers she is happy as lary indeed lets gooooooo

Last week of veg for this round, next Monday they will start 12/12 in the flower room and get stripped. Watering daily and they are growing fast and looking great, can't wait to see how flower goes for these ladies.

I am excited to try out this new gorilla cookies from fastbuds. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

D33 15/04 one is flowering hard and the other one is stunted/taking its time Healthy enough at least

Last feeding before flush. Hoping the banger and Skywalker swell a bit more I had higher hopes for them...hopefully the other seeds have a lol stronger kush in both. Biggest bud: white widow by far Tallest: Skywalker Best smell: Bruce but its close

Grow is coming along well, though the Black Devil is still lagging behind IMO. I think the strain maybe isn't too impressed with being Main-Lined? Either way she's hungry so I gave her some bokashi, clover leaf trim and worm castings. Next week is main dry amendment feeding so the girls will get everything they need. Couple more weeks and the Northern light should make it's way around the entire pot, then if it's tall enough, I'm putting them into flower. Some weird shit on the microscope today; videos above.

Planted just one seed November 29 into coco and a very light 4-4-4 Gaia and perlite blend. Pint size container for now, at some pint soon I’ll replant it into a 3 gallon fabric pot. I just saw the seedling coming out of the soil today.

Week 6 of flowering 10/23/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 6 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Defoliated a little. Noticed a PH of 4.8 in runoff, same as the late stage of flower in my previous grow. After lowering feed EC, CalMag on max strength, flushing with 0.8ec nutes for 3 days in a row, nothing changed and PH stayed the same. Read in a forum thread about constant low PH in the rootzone when growing in coco. Got great info about CEC, water, nutrients and little chemistry from a detailed explanation. (https://www.icmag.com/threads/recurring-problem-with-low-ph-in-coco.338385/page-2#post-10843765) Flushed plants with tap water + calmag, PH 6.5. Used 120L total for 4 plants in 2 days. 1st day: flushed after lights on, did not water until 2 hours before lights off and flushed again. Runoff PH went up a little, but not to the correct range. 2nd day: flushed after lights on and checked runoff EC + PH, of each plant. Fortunately, PH got corrected to 5.8, and I returned to automatic watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff). Thoughts: In the last grow, I thought I had a problem because of salts buildup in the media with constantly low PH in late flower. I didn't fully correct the problem till chop day. Same problem here in the same stage of flower without the salt buildup. After reading every forum I could find about the problem, I understood that my bloom nutes were the main problem because of their chemical composition. The coco ability to exchange ions lead to the low PH in the rootzone. It got worse quickly because I did not use any tap water with the feedings, so the PH could swing easily and drastically without resistance. After I looked online for the T.A. feeding chart, I saw they used TriPart Grow till week 7 of flower, the Nitrogen type they are using will up the PH. CocoForCannabis chart that I'm using, has not enough nitrogen to combat the bloom nutes PH down effect in flower. It gets even worse with RO water because there are no minerals that can resist PH down. Now I'm using 30% tap water with rest RO water, T.A. TriPart feeding chart with calmag and silica. Hopefully I have corrected the problem for the rest of the grow. It wasn't easy, because there were lots of variables that worsened the problem quickly. Now I'm checking runoff PH and EC daily. Update on next week :)

Hola familia, de nuevo, actualizamos las skunk, y es que estoy encantado con esta genética , son tan simétricas las 3, ninguna espigó , comen fenómeno, y se ve en su color y sus hojas. Pronto pasaremos a la floración, todo va a pedir de boca 10/10. Empezamos alimentar también la genética Los parámetros son correctos, aun que la humedad está un pelón por debajo de lo que me gustaría 55%.

Due to repot next week. Heats at a alltime high low 30s but seem to be doin ok, growing well off the allpurpose MG.

Day 21 Shes becoming very bushy, yet not gaining any height whatsoever. Turned the auto-pots + air-domes on to get water and oxygen directly to the roots 3 days ago. Feeding Cropsalt at 5.8ph, really enjoying it atm just look at their colour😍

Close to harvest now, i think 1 more week and they are ready.. Started the flush, only giving nutes to BB she is heat stressed and growing slow.

Another week pass

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This alien gorilla is blowing me away maan, shit she stinks soo freaking strong, very spicy aroma very piney too, and woody, she's not sweet at all, at least this pheno but the strong spicy piney woody smell is just lovely, you fall in love instantly, the colas look like rockets 🚀🚀 very hard, dense and sticky as hell. I'm so in love with this genetic by the family of original sensible seeds man, what a crazy surprise, I need this girls in my garden every year. She's been 100% organic grown with FLO Living soil and guanokalong organic dry amendments. Hope I can make a big big xxl bush with this strain next season man💎🤤🦍👽🤞 peace everybody!

Second time flushing it.. I’m also running out of time before harvest I should’ve been flushing it a week earlier.. she’ll be ready in 2 days for chop

The plants are maturing extremly fast, the amber thricomes are apearing so fast and the flushing started to prevent to get much CBN. The BIG DAY is soon!

The girls are looking fine doing great. Actually, I am very pleased with how healthy these girls are doing. I’m gonna let this be the last week of vegetative stage. Next week im gonna switch to 12/12 hrs light and let’s see how the flowers will look like
