2nd time doing Brix levels...some ladies went from a Brix of 4 to a Brix of 10 while 2 only went from a Brix of 4 to 6. I am pleased with their progress upwards.
Dam just learned you should take leaves for testing 2 hours after lights on....I took leaves from dark period 😣. Will update with new Brix numbers taken with lights on.
Chopping is coming very soon. I will tag the Brix of each plant when I hang to dry so I'm able to keep track of how the higher Brix relates to taste, smell and potency😎
😁The ladies noticeably got fatter over night!(Nov 11th).
Man they really enjoyed that last watering, hope this continues into next week. Just read to take your Brix leaves in a "Z" or "W" pattern as older leaves will contain higher carbs. The refracted light tells us the amount of carbs in the "juice or sap" and minerals too like calcium, proteins and fats (lipids). High Brix enables weed to produce secondary metabolites = greater medicinal value.
Sucrose/sugar (Carbs) & mineral levels in the fruit or flower translates or relates to taste. A tasteless 3 Brix tomato from the grocery store or a 14 Brix tomato from OMG you grow delicious tomatoes. Death to covalent bonding! (My goal a 20 Brix😀 Won't be happening with this grow but will be the next😁). Read that most people can detect a half point difference in Brix in the flavour. Lots of smell coming from these Gorilla Girls😵
I can only go so far with plant chemistry and then I get a headache and get lost😔

3/18 to 3/24 Veg Days 28 to 34
Week 4
This week is primarily test training and recovery for that. I say test training because in past grows I noticed that some really bad early breaks are fully recoverable by flip.... but how bad is too bad. Thus the test So I plan to break every branch and try to control really bad to not so bad to see what the end results will be. (the worst break picture didnt come out so good, so It's just "after tape" pics.)
Feed this week was 1 top feed of .5 gal at 150 ppm with 6.1ph. 4 days later I turned on the autopots and for the rest of the grow all feeds will be reservoir feeds that I change out weekly. I prepared 3gal of 6.1ph RO water. I used 200ppm of Veg Mix (recipe Week 2) then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0).
Next week I plan to top cut the branches again and change out the feeds with 300ppm at 6.0ph

Hey hey everyone! 😀👋
This is week 5! My girls are growing strong and very, very bushy. I gave them a good dose of water this week and it seems they really enjoyed that! Besides that theses are the things I noticed:
- The girl on the back is bushier than the one on the front and her leaves are smaller in comparison (with the exception of some leaves).
- The leaves might be a little dark in color, but I could also be wrong hah. Perhaps I'm feeding them too much fertilizers?
- The stems are getting very, very thick. I like that!
- I've tucked so much this week... and some leaves are curling weirdly. Probably that's a sign my efforts are paying off? 😅
- I also reinforced the LST at the end of the week. I need those thick stems to bend a little more!
Anyway, that's pretty it for this week! I took tons of photos and I hope you'll all enjoy them! 😍
See you all next week!

Good week as we had some nice weather, also provided a small amount of iguana grow and she's looking good, still 1 or 2 weeks to go before flowering, I've also started some LST to see if i can keep her small but with some more side branches, hopefully it works 😅 i never trained auto's so lets see 🙈

89 days!!! I came back after an unplanned long vacation, and when I saw her I immediately realized that today is harvest day, it's a pity that I haven't seen her ripening for the last 12 days, I wasn't with her:D but the result really impressed me, I've never had such a beautiful strain :) the girl has been growing throughout the growth cycle, she's been growing really vigorously!!! Her smell really reminds me of cherries :) the flowers have grown very stiff and full of trichomes, I can't wait to taste her:) the update will be after the harvest has dried up:) good luck to everyone:).

The Ztrawberriez Auto is very resistant has a great sweet strawberry smell throughout the garden.
As you can easily see from my grow question, I was initially afraid for the plants due to the high temperature in the greenhouse (as soon as the sun shone ~40 degrees).
It turned out that the plant seemed to like it and rewarded me with beautiful buds with purple tips. Growdiaries won't let me delete the question otherwise this would have happened long ago...
She finished very quickly and took just 70 days from seed to harvest. All this confirms that fastbuds is the right address for autoflowers. I'm already looking forward to the next run.

Day 28 - These ladies are growing like crazy! 2 of them are already almost as tall as my white widow autos that are about 2 weeks ahead!
Day 30 - Still stretching like crazy, starting to look much better though I have to say!
Day 32 - Ladies are starting to get nice & purple!

I don't have anything special to write, today is the end of her third week, she hasn't made any special progress, the weather is constantly bad... today was a nice day and I took them outside to sunbathe after a long time, from tomorrow everything will be as usual, for the next week only rain, the temperatures won't be as low as before, but it won't be satisfactory either, during the day it will be okay, but again with a little sun...
Stay high!

So this week went great... Things are going super well, and the plant leaves are getting larger - I'm trying my BEST NOT to pull or pinch any leaves that are in the way, as to not stress out the plant!
She's drinking well, and I'm making sure not to over water... We're going to be able to start LSTing soon!

Start of week 5...
Looking back at the first few weeks of veg, i never imagined that they would thrive this good in week 5 already!
(Look back at week 1+2 for horror pictures)
Whole of week 4 i worked on my climate control automation.
I will keep the set up for atleast a week.
👽👉26/9
Big LST day. I got new supplies to manage the rest of the ladies properly.
Topped another one ( 5/6 is topped)
Cut just a couple of leaves. The crusty ones that did not receive light and the ones casting shadows over my lovely budsights.
👽👉27/9 Waterday* and recovery
2ml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.4 PH 1.68 ECLetting them recover
Humidity a bit higher during night because of watering, turned the temp up to match the VPD.
👽👉28/9 They look content, humidity a bit higher during night because of watering.
👽👉29/9 I am happy how you thrive, but they need some pruning/defoliation as soon as they have recovered from the stress training.
👽👉30/9 Did some defoliation, decided to flip to flower after their recovery.
👽👉1/10 They had a case of empty humidifier, resulting in high vpd for 7hours.
Water day*
2.1xml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.2 PH 1.75 EC
👽👉2/10 They look great, healthy and happy! Climate is back on point

Mild defoliation throughout this week. Flush imminent so will leave the remaining fans as nute banks.
Next run with these genetics I'll be running a monstercropped clone under this scrog and will go heavier with the defoliation earlier on. I was advised this on here this grow and did a bit but have learned I need more!
Forever learning. Looks like it's gonna be an epic harvest. These girls smell absolutely dank.
Testament to the quality of these Madame Grow Fertilisers. Harvest just get better every time!
Also big shout out to my bro at NatureDelight.co.uk providing some awesome organics to add into the grow schedule. Used The Active Sugar Boost all through flower at 3ml per litre this run and I think the results speak for themselves. I cannot implore you guys enough to go check this stuff out. It's unique and you wont find better customer service.
Lots of vids and content this week as we all love bud shots <3

This week marks the true beginning of flowering, as all plants are now showing clearly visible pistils at the nodes and an active, uniform stretch. The transition to 12/12 has been fully assimilated, and the crop is responding with strong, healthy growth.
The canopy is very well leveled, with an open structure thanks to the previous LST/SCROG work. Tops are correctly oriented toward the light, showing no signs of stress, and light penetration remains good even in the mid-canopy.
From an environmental standpoint, conditions have remained very stable throughout the week:
Average temperatures around 24–25 °C
Relative humidity between 55–62%
VPD consistently in the 1.1–1.3 kPa range
This results in optimal transpiration and highly efficient nutrient uptake.
Lighting has been progressively adjusted to reach 700–720 µmol/m²/s PPFD, which is ideal for early flowering, with stable ambient CO₂ levels (~700 ppm). No signs of light stress or photoinhibition have been observed.
Regarding nutrition, irrigations have been maintained around EC ~1.1–1.2 mS and pH 6.3, combining BioGrow, BioBloom, enzymes, and stimulators. The plants display a healthy green color, with no deficiencies or excesses, and show a very positive response after each feeding.
Overall, this has been a key and very well-executed week, laying a strong foundation for the upcoming bulking phase. The crop enters Flowering Week 2 with strength, balance, and excellent yield potential.

Did not measure wet weight. Harvest is done plants will dry the next 1-2 weeks. It took 67 bloom days until finish. Will update after drying is done.

This was the ladies last week! I’ve been watching the tricomes, #1 is mostly cloudy with a touch of amber, # 2 could go just a bit longer as there are mostly cloudy with a few amber and some clear… but I have a schedule to keep to make tent space available.
Fed the ladies straight ph’d water for 4 feeds, being sooooo hot they have been needing water every other day, which turned out perfect! Super happy with the smells so far, typical Kush with a very pleasing earthy aroma 🤤
Into my 2x4 AC infinity controlled tent for hopefully a 10 day slow dry @ 60% RH. It’s been so dang hot, temps in my basement with AC are still hovering around 72 degrees!
