Week 5 looking very plentiful

Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

The plants are all doing amazing ! When you open the tent it smells like fruit loops. There is some red color in one of the phenos now and it looks gorgeous. The red one seems to also be intent on producing the largest buds. I took a look under the microscope and saw purple trichomes :) The buds are all insanely sticky and resinous. I am using chopsticks to tuck the larger colas under the scrog because if I touch it my hand smells all day lol. No signs of nutrient stress or light stress at all. The plants are getting watered every 3rd day. I am really enjoying the Medi One lineup from Green Planet, I have noticed a huge difference in overall plant health and vigor since I switched to it.

Just did a huge 5 gallon flush on these girls they are in 8 gallon pots till runoff was clear will let them dry out completely and give them one more flush then the really frosty one will be ready probably another week week and a half and the bigger one with all the pistils will probably be another 2 or so weeks she has more bulking to do and not nearly frosty yet

So meine Pflanzen Freunde es ist soweit dieses ist mein letzter Eintrag für diesen Strain. Die Blüten haben sich sehr gut entwickelt manche Buds sind in der Struktur rund, fest und dicht andere wiederum sind nicht so dicht bewachsen sondern ein bisschen fluffig. Die #1 und #4 waren von allen als erstes fertig, hier habe ich darauf geachtet das die Trichome schön wolkig sind ich wollte die Pflanzen auf dem Höchsten THC Stand ernten. Anschließend kam die #2 und die #3 hat von allen am längsten gedauert. #1, #2 und #4 wurden am Tag:74 gehackt, #3 hat am längsten gebraucht ganze 7 Tage am Tag:81 wurde diese außergewöhnliche Schönheit gehackt sie hat auch die meisten Knospen getragen. In der letzten Woche ist alles ruhig verlaufen als nächstes kommt der Smoke Bericht und das endgültige Wieg Ergebnis , leider habe ich doofi vergessen das nass Gewicht zu notieren zum Glück habe ich ein zwei nass Ergebnisse somit kann ich um den Daumen peilen was raus kommt.

Well, I had a speed bump nothing major but I forgot to refill my mothers reservoirs no big deal I did it one of them got a really droopy, but that’s OK. She should recover well soon I’m gonna be throwing the

This week has been good both plants are growing great with no problems in there transition to flower they jus started to stretch so I hung the 600 watt lamp at 24 in and will lower it as they flower but a very productive week so far. Gonna add nutes at the end of this week so they will have some nutes to fall back on when bud sites appear

I did nothing special just topped her and pulled her down in early veg

Whitout nutrients Pure nature Only water👽👌✊😆

Bene finite le 3 settimane di fioritura ha dei calici ben gonfi e con un profumo tropicale spettacolare😁🤤 Giorno 2 la sera viene annaffiata con 2L di acqua a 980ppm Giorno 7 viene annaffiata con 2L di acqua a 1000ppm

Ladies and gentlemen, i'm happy to be growing this girl.Using the growdots so hopefully we have good results with a lot less effort .. i'd like to think Herbies Seeds for making this grow possible.. I've always been a fan of purple haze, so i'm hoping she is true to what I remember and love.. I hope everybody out there is doing good as you could tell this little lady is happy and she's starting to get going now.. I hope everybody is well.God bless and happy growing ✌️

Northern light auto I recommend to all biggener grower she so easy to grow and respond well on hst and lst training honestly she grow so much different everyday that's why I try pic daily happy growing friends Update day 30 she streching alot and I can see lots branch double my last grow so happy for 10l pot Update day 33 I reduce amount off nitrogen to 1.5 ml per litre and next week I reduse to 1ml coz my last grow bud but airy so I want go se gently with nitrogen and see what's different

Que pasa familia, va de vuelta empezamos con la floración, primera semana con el foco cambiado a 12/12. Aumentamos un poco los nutrientes, todo va bien están sanas van vigorosas y poco a poco van estirando. Hice poda de bajo esta semana, aproveche para sacar esquejes y regalarlos a un amigo cercano. En las fotos podréis comprobar que hay distintas podas en cada ejemplar pero los bajos la llevan todas. Han empezado a marcar sexo, parece que todas son hembras. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir progresando este proyecto semana tras semana, y ver al final los resultados en si, buenos humooos 💨💨

Decidí no hacer ningún corte Tampoco ningun lst ni nada Solo dejarlas ser por esta vez...

Realmente muy feliz con lo obtenido, 307g en 0.8me me parece genial, estas flores tienen un aroma genial entre el típico haze mezclado con cacao, un efecto muy agradable y confortable, rica al fumar y muy poco picante gracias al lavado de raíces con flawles finish 👌👨‍🌾🏻 Totalmente recomendable esta genética de royalqueenseeds muy agradecido por la oportunidad 👍👌👨‍🌾🏻

Rainbow melon from fastbuds is for sure a winner.its a cross from fastbuds melon plant they use in a lot of there crosses and it’s crossed with a exotic genetics plant and they are known for really frosty plants. Fastbuds did a great job of capturing the exotic colors and tastes and smell and tricomb density from the exotic genetics plant and then it added with the large melon nugs to be a really great plant. I already got another pack of the rainbow melon seeds my goal is to breed a good pheno of it with my gas tax x Obama Runtz seeds that I have that grow som killer. I would hope crossing with this plant would bring some colors and larger nugs to the party. This plant is amazing I would suggest growing it. Super strong plant super sturdy large nugs with super strong smell and super stick

This 3 of these seem to be doing fine. I actually accidentally threw away 2 of the other seeds by misplacing the proper germination paper towel. That's OK though all 3 of these popped so can't complain. Hoping to see a lot of stretching and a more leaf growth.

I will answer how it smoked in a couple days maybe week
