05/31 -Day 64 ~650 PAR across the canopy. A & B continuing to stack. C & D’s pistols are starting to change colors along with some swelling. 06/03 - DAY 67 (C) top nugs are feeling tight and hard. Still assuming another 2 weeks till chop. (D) Foxtails coming out everywhere but not too extreme. Possibly another 2 weeks. (A) & (B) slowly progressing still.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed!

Honestly, we had to built a greenhouse We figured it out, temperature outside after 10AM was getting real hot and balcony window got enough sunlight but seems like they want more, that's why we installed more CFL lights to increase light intensity and since balcony window wasn't working quite well we noticed at the very first week some of them where stretching a little and thank God we noticed early otherwise our plant would've grow leggy, phew! Must say temperature, Humidity and light are things you really need to balance otherwise they really get messy They are completely aware of their surroundings, it's amazing how they actually are, great plant but needs lot of care and attention if you wanna get good harvest of course! Please fill in any comments, tips, advise, more than happy to hear you folks Day 9 We decided to feed the ladies, they got 171ppm and 200ml of water Day 10 Decided that the rooftop is a better place In the morning time Day 11 They looking good Day 12 Wanted to give them more sun light, placed them close to the balcony window from 4pm til sun it's gone! Then they go to CFL for the rest of the night until they have to go to sleep Day 13 Decided to replace her pot for a bigger one, since she's growing so fast I don't want to mess with the roots, so it's better to do it now before it grows around.... Also fed them today with 1ml Flora Nova grow mix with 1 water Gallon so total PPM was 314, tomorrow they start the 3rd week so I wanted to give them what they call "a boost" on their early vegetative stage. That was only 200ml each And followed by a 200ml plain water with a little runoff at the end to make sure the nutrients gets all well mixed up and she can absorb it avoiding extra nutrients.... Let's see how she does this week tho! Day 14 She seems to handle just fine the nutrients we gave her and she's growing fast and looking good

Pretty loud terps. Smells great. Candy grape with a little gassy. Tricks forming nicely. Still no herms since defol. She handles stress nicely. This phone for the pack of seeds is a keeper I think, though I didn’t take clones.

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

I was told this is a 1:1 CBD strain but feels more like a 2:1 Ok so this plant yelded large , thick and dense flowers that are completely covered in sugar , The flavour and smell is fantastic even without a cure , I've been using this in the vapourisor and the flavour is incredible , A very thick and heavy gas that does not make you cough at all , and for me it's a very heavy head high and then you get a very pleasant feeling in your lungs and chest , The effect is very relaxing and claiming , For me it's all you expect from cannabis without the head f*CK It's a really nice smoke indeed , Too the point that I think I will not be turning this plant into oils as in the decarbing temperature you need too choice ether the CBD or the thc at they both decarb at different temperatures CBD needing alot higher temp too activate than thc does , so you ether burn off the thc too get the CBD , so I think this will be my night time chillax smoke as it's real nice ,

Put them both into 10ltr pots at the end of last week. The sun hasn't been about to much so they haven't done much but they are getting taller and stretching a bit. I've got more seeds but will probably take cuttings from these two as they will be more mature and must be closer to showing sex 👍

Day 63: Hi all , a productive week it has been this week. The #2 has been taken out for her 48hr dark period before trimming and drying. She jas so much frost onher dark purple and red buds now too. she will be trimmed later tonight so will post a few pics later. Gorilla girls #1 is so close to finishing now too. Her colours are starting really come through now she is maturing and her smell is so sweet and clearly pineapples too. Her yield should be ok bit being kept lower may have been a factor in her overall size. perfect for a low , cupboard grow. #3 is very close to #1 in terms of a finish, if only a few days behind . Shebis so much smaller but her finalnpushbjas bought her on par for the amount of decent sized buds that smell so sweet and are starting to brown off on the tops mainly. I won't rush her but she is close. #4 is still my sneaky favourite for appearance without doubt. She is so beautiful as a plant it will be a shame to cut her down. She is so covered in trichs now that she looks silver and red. At least another week I thinks to get the best from this lady. A brilliant example of genetics. Sweet cheese is also very close to her finish but at least a week jumping by the fresh looking pistils poking out all over her thick main. She stinks of fuel now too. I will be interested to see how much she yields compared to trained ladies. Well hopefully the next update will be to say they are all hanging to dry amd maybe 1 actually harvested. Until then . be safe and sane Growmies UPDATE. the #2 is now trimmed and drying....

05/27/2024 : ambered trichromes in sight (on leaves, not so much on flowers yet) DLI tops between 40 and 50. Lot of colors from leaves and pistils and powerfull smell! Now in late flowering, plant is maturing nicely.

It has been a strange week alternating rains and high temperatures... and in the garden all kind of bugs appeared like it is Spring :( In the last 3 days of this week noticed some leaves with aphids, and some powdery mildew but hopefully not touching the buds, as are covered in a lot of resin and thc, so gotta clean the plant removing all the afected leaves when harvesting and hash is discarded with this plant.. So... the Royal Cheese had to be harvested as soon as possible... but no worries at all as the plant past the middle point of the harvest window(as i say lol), with practically all the trichs milky. Would like to keep the plant like 3 or 4 days more until amber appearing, but the taste of the Cheese is better if you harvest earlier so it is all fine. The colas are so big, did not expect this kind of production with a revegged plant ( but she did not fully flower ), 3 months ago when the plant started to flower. The smell is insulting hahaha, it is stinking all the sorroundings... The neighbours probably are mad about it 😅 But they are kind, did not complain about it.. The feeding schedule: -Water-/-TopCandy-/-Water- Flushing: last 10-11 days until harvest Good vibes!!!!, next diary week will be Harvest

Day 43 Alles gut! she is huge, exploded! Day 44 2000ml of full preflowering blend, 850ppm Day 45 Alles gut! Day 46 2000ml of full preflowering blend, 850ppm, 200watts light Day 47 Drinking alot, alles gut, removed Trump plant, will be installing the ScrOG net Day 48 2000ml of full flowering blend, 1000ppm alles gut! Day 49 extreme explosion! The Gorilla is enormous! really liking that 1000ppm flowering blend, it also gets same alpine stream water as Sour Jealousy

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

1/21 at this Stage pure water only 0.2l per day, soil is already prepared with bio Tabs 1/24 switched light to 100% Power

Esta es la última semana de crecimiento que le doy a las pequeñas, el último día antes de hacer el cambio de horas de luz le hago una pequeña poda de bajos ya que eso le dará más aire a la zona baja y más fuerza a la parte superior de nuestras plantas. En esta semana terminamos con una Ec de 1.6 y un ph de 5.8. Están creciendo muy rápido y con fuerza en los tallos. Los tamaños de las pequeñas son: las red hot cookies 24 y 34 cm, las tropicanas 27 y 37 cm y la purple puch og 24 cm.

They are doing fine and are stinking nice. Smells like cookies rite now not sure if that’s gonna change! I didn’t take much off during the pruning process so whatever popcorn buds can be used in the press. Took clones and plant to use one as a Mom plant, wish me luck!

I ended up adding a scrog net just to open them up some more and get that light penetration.Two of these ladies have took on a really good stretch on the main cola and have a Christmas tree appearance.The other two are short and bushy as I did break off the top cola on the one and trained her nice and even.These photos were taken on Christmas Day :)

Due to the low yield and really fast veg time, I would avoid this strain until I master the nutrients I am giving the my plants. I only weighted the small plant which is 12g. The strain tastes so good and smooth. I love the quality of the smoke!

At this point I’m giving the plant plain water I dropped the temperatures and the lights just waiting for runoff to be acceptable and then it’s time to chop

We are in Flush !! Was giving them GH Flora series + rapid start + cal mag
