So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

Very very sticky i had to change gloves every 2-3 buds!🤓 Delicious smell🤤

Hallo zusammen 🤙. So das war es für die erste Super Skunk die andere kommt am Montag unters Messer 🔪🤙

The bud looks thickening trichromes,more pungent and pistil change color to orange.

🌱 Semana 3 desde germinación – Ajustes clave. Entramos en la semana 3 desde germinación y esta semana hemos hecho varios cambios importantes para empezar a empujar el crecimiento. 🔹 Riego y fertilización. Esta semana hemos aumentado la cantidad de fertilizantes, subiendo la EC del riego hasta 0.8. Además, hemos cambiado la estrategia de riego: Riegos más cortos y continuos Objetivo: subir la EC del suelo, que estaba bastante baja 📉 EC suelo inicio semana: 0.5 📈 EC suelo final semana 3: 1.2 Este control ha sido posible gracias al sensor 3-en-1 del kit GGS AC5 de Spider Farmer, que nos está facilitando muchísimo el ajuste fino del cultivo. 🔹 Próximos riegos. A partir de ahora, en los siguientes riegos añadiremos Atazyme de Atami a la tabla, para mejorar la actividad radicular y ayudar a asimilar mejor los nutrientes. 🔹 Iluminación y clima. Hemos subido la potencia del LED Spider Farmer SF2000 301H EVO al 75%, lo que ha provocado Un ligero aumento de la temperatura ambiente Mejor intensidad lumínica para esta fase de crecimiento Por ahora las plantas están respondiendo bien a los cambios, con un verde sano y crecimiento constante. Seguimos ajustando poco a poco, sin prisas pero sin pausas 💪🌿

She is just bulking up now. I am cutting back the bloom as the tips are burning.

Watermelon zkittlez va creciendo muy rápido también igual que chemical bride puedes ver el otro diario y verás que grande va

End of week 2 beginning of week 3 the plants were doing well but now we’re seeing some nutrient lockout “we think” there is what looks like nitrogen toxicity with the curled tips and the discoloration of the leaves meaning mag deficiency /calcium .. today I flushed with 5.8-6.0 ph RO water then fed a little feed that at 940 ppm and 6.0 ph really hoping things turn around as of now not seeing any hermies thank god ! The lights were turned up to 70% power and the plants are just about done with their stretch ! The baby buds are looking ok now super bad problems yet . I’m doing this grow all automated so I’m only available to be hands on abojt 2 times a week which is something I’m not used too. Hopefully in the next week we start seeing the plants bouncing back to life ! If you guys could help out and lmk what you think is wrong with the plants when it comes to the discoloration and curled tips please let me know! Temp is 73 during the day 67-68 at night and humidity is between 43-48%

I’ve noticed this on my back plant I’m thinking this is either wind burn or light burn if anyone’s know what this is letme know how I can treat it thanks Eveyone who has been watching this diary this strawberry gorilla already smell like pure dank I’m mind blown this is Day 13

Plants are growing well , İ am just a bit sad that the sun is not so strong the last week. Hope for more sun

GROW 😁 As you may already know, I have 2 varieties in my growroom. 👍 I have 4 pots of each species with 4 plants in each pot. So 16 plants Mother Gorilla and 16 plants Triple G. 👽 In the first weeks, the Triple G plants were the fastest growers. But since flowering, the Mother Gorilla plants have taken over. Most Mother Gorillas are now higher in length than the Triple Gs. They clearly have more Sativa influences than the Triple G. 💪   The 16 Mother Gorilla plants differ greatly in length. On DAY 26 these are the various lengths (in cm) : 63, 67, 83, 83, 95, 99, 107, 110, 110, 111,, 114, 116,117, 126, 130, 134 The drastic pruning in week 2 has stimulated the plants enormously. The plants have been multiplied by 2 to 3 times in height since flowering -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLOOM 😍 The plants are now busy making new flowers. The plants with the most Sativa genes do not yet have that many flowers. But the plants with more Indica genes are already working hard to string the flowers together to thick buds. The scent of the flowers is fantastic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WATER / HUMIDITY 😰 I have lowered the desired humidity again this week by 5% 👇 and the temperature is increased by 1 degree. 👆👇 The plants have made many new leaves. Every day (24 hours) the 4 pots (16 plants) get about 7 liters of water to drink. 😂 The '1.75 liter watering volume per plant' stated in 'Grow conditions' is therefore actually '1.75 liter watering volume per autopot' Most of the water evaporates through the leaves and therefore the humidifiers evaporate less and less water. At the beginning of the week, I had to fill the two humidifiers with 7 liters of water every 24 hours, now every 40 hours. 👌

Las plantas responden muy bien a los nutrientes y crecen bastante bien. 📅Dia 14: 150ml agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 15: Riego con agua por inundacion con 100ml agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 16: Poda FIM a las dos plantas que destacan para nivelar altura. 📅Dia 17: pulverizo agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 📅Dia 18: pulverizo agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 📅Dia 19: pulverizo agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 📅Dia 20: pulverizo agua Ec 250 Ph 6.5 No respondieron bien a los nutrientes, otra ilusion mas que me acabo de quitar, no me pasara a partir de ahora.Va alta en nutrientes y solo aplique una vez, a partir de ahora tomare nota del agua de escurrimiento y agregare nutrientes cuando la planta lo precise, el resto de veces pura agua.

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

So she was a breeze to grow took to training like a champ fimd her early and did bowl training on her till around 2nd week in flower then removed the ties she would have been even better without the issues I had fed her daily on the wwf regime aiming for 30% runoff this seems to work really well on autos and get big yields of them trimming her was easy did wet trim then hung to dry for 6days at 65/60 with a small fan circulating the air then in a tub for 3 days burping buds are nice and tight loaded with thc and smelling awesome really happy with how things turned out thanks to all my followers and friends grow share learn what were all about happy growing guys

The smell on this lady is absolutely insane. The only way I can describe it is a dank smelling cherry. Trimmed 2 ozs after drying got done and had the whole house smelling. Very impressed with the nose tone and taste of the Cherry Cola and its not even cured yet. Growing this plant has turned me on to the cherry terps and will continue to look for them.

End of week 2, veg. This little lady is finally catching up to the others in the tent. She has a typical sativa look to her for being so young, which is cool. After doing this for so long you kinda get a feel for seedlings. We watered with alfalfa Ferment as usual and these girls are in love lol. Seriously though, this stuff cuts my veg time in almost half! Highly recommend. Not much else to report on, just taking it day by day. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya next week.
