What a crazy week, growmies. It’s amazing to see how fast the early flower phase kicked in right after the first pistils showed up. The girls were obviously more than ready after a 10-week veg, but honestly I can only speak in superlatives about them. The stretch is absolutely insane(15cm this week), and it really takes all our skills to keep the canopy even especially since we’re running two different strains in the tent. We’ve been doing aggressive bend-overs / tie-downs every other day just to keep the canopy under control. To keep up with their appetite, bumped the watering up to 4 liters and they happily took it both times. Will stick with a simple routine: one plain watering, one feeding. We’re already seeing some frost coming in, which is great this early in flower. 😄❄️🌱 Light intensity:85% on 40cm. Vpd: 1,1-1,35kpa

Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟 It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments! While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless. Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process: 1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying! 2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison! 3️⃣ Yield Update Wet, the total came in at 97grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment. 4️⃣ Curing Plan The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing. Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨ As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions. I'm really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I've gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I'm incredibly proud of my first results! As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

Super solid canopy between these 2 ladies. Nice sea of colas brewing up. No vertical growth really to speak of. Just some flower mass. Very happy and healthy and looking very vibrant. Looking sexy in the garden lol. They got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up their treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as they are blooming strong now. Gotta keep those engines well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Start of Week 9 🙌 I plan to use fertilizer for bud growth from day 64 to day 70+... depending on when the harvest time occurs 😉😄👍 Started working with fertilizer today, every 2 days a mixture of 10ml per liter as long as the buds have not properly developed trichomes 😵 I hope this works 😵😲😱 Day 68 with fertilizer again

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been absent. These girls have been through some sh*t along with me😂 They had a Thrips infestation quite bad. I have been doing a lot of construction in the house and think that maybe was a factor🤷‍♂️🏻 My last harvest was 10/10 absolutely beautiful was missing the bulk towards the end of harvest though, then I found out when I grinder the flower… Hermie was absolutely gutted. There was a few things it could’ve been I suppose it’s part of the learning curve. I saved the best five I could… The girls that seemed almost pest resistant. I topped from 3-5 Nodes just once due to the trauma after ward. Safe to say this has been really stressful for us all I felt as though everything was contaminated so I cleaned everything and went back old school to tent! Glad I did so too. Been experiencing some hot weather recently so both ballasted are on 400W which is fine for now! Keeping feed to a minimal and keeping basic this run. They seemed to have bounced back and all seem healthy showing female sex!!! Hopefully we have a great run I really hope so

Grow Report Week 16: Harvest Approaches Hello dear grow friends, We are approaching the long-awaited harvest time, and the plants are now revealing their true beauty. The scents are becoming more intense, and I can hardly wait to taste the results. The Purple Surprise In particular, the Gorilla Zkittlez had a little surprise for me: it turned purple! I’m exceptionally pleased with this color change. Thanks to the controller provided by TrolMaster, I was able to maintain a constant temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, which should positively impact the development. Anticipation for the Coming Weeks Although the next two weeks will determine my harvest, I am completely satisfied with the progress so far. I will continue with the fertilization schedule, as it did not adversely affect the taste in the last attempt. I look forward to soon harvesting the fruits of my labor. See you soon, and thank you for being part of this journey! 😊

The tricombe production on this strain is ridiculous! It looks amazing under my microscope. The heads are mostly milky coloured so this may be finishing sooner than expected. The space in the tent is getting a bit tight so I'll be glad to have more room when this lady has done her thing.

July 9th - fish poop applied for breakfast - with all the rain, i applied Kelp Meal to the surface area - fed 2 gallons of Nutes/water -Weather can do what it wants now June 10th, - looking at the leaf formations on the end of the Branches, and I’m sure there will be Pistiles showing in about a week. The bud sites are starting to take shape and cluster. I’ll grab some shots in 4 days and see where its going - foliar spray for breakfast, thats a good feeding in the last 24 hrs - next meal posted above - 2 weeks past the Solstice, the plants will start moving into Flower very shortly, if not already. Days are Shorter, lets grow some Buds July 11th, - another whole day of Rain, so 1-2” (~ 1.5 gal) of Compost was added to the entire Soil surface. A first for me, thats for sure… all in the name of the science in the soil - before adding compost, I stood on the tomato cage, to fully re-sink it into the ground; top rim is 29” legit July 13th - foliar spray in the late afternoon - plant is becoming a Bush - yep, in a moment of weakness lol, I took a few leaves off, clones were gone, had to make it right… call it LST - you can see the branches are making use of the Cage, for support of the lower Topped branches.

I turned off one of the mars panels. My garden isn't big enough to need that much light. So I just have the hlg65 and 1 mars panel going. This girl drinks like crazy. And she is quick to droop her leaves to tell you she's thirsty. Grow a lot in the past week. This will be the biggest autoflower I have grown so far.

2 Gran Jefa au 53ème jour de floraison. 45G de bourgeons sec et effeuillés J'ai commis des erreurs durant cette culture et je n'avais malheureusement pas la possibilité de m'en occuper comme je le voulais. Je vous suggère de ne pas reproduire mon dosage pour les nutriments(+serait mieux) et ma fréquences d'arrosage(moins d'eau et + souvent serait mieux). Je compte modifier certaines choses pour ma prochaines culture en espérant améliorer le rendement 👌 Merci pour votre visite les amis 💪

Hey GROWERS, hope find you all well 😎 DAY 1 of week 5 , 3 girls with same growth report 1 of them showing development but as you see smaller then others, could be something related with strain sensitive, since all ones have the same enviroment and conditions. As you can see one of them seens to be purple since the firts calyx are purple 😍. When you have a mix pack you are allways dreaming about ahahahaha, the really funny thing is that my friend that give me the seeds knows the strains 😇 and will be a very good challenge try to discover the strains. Thank you all, have a really nice WEEK. _GrF_

Plant is the smallest of the bunch and seems to be showing a bit of elongation mutation at the beginning but she’s still green and growing. I’m sure she’ll grow out of this stage soon. Can’t wait to see. 1/9/24 Transplant day today. Can’t wait to watch them grow!
