First pic is showing off some of the stretch that has occurred. We start “Above the Stakes”this week. -Sun 10th; it looks like the R plant is making a solid effort in its Stretch, which has just begun & is really happening. The L plant is flourishing and nearing the end of its own stretch. There is an image of the pair with 3’ showing on a tape measure as reference. Jan 11 Good things are happening as the circle of branches starts fill in ! ** as a side note, the Uv-B is going back on for 6hrs a cycle (3+3) after some more reading and the recent stretch action from the plant on the R. Nothing wrong with a weeks delay in nature between sisters & UV-B sounds like solid tech. Power is on again ** - Dinner-time after 4 days. - Hole drilled in overhead corner-bracket, to help Centre the Light. - Plants have been rotated a bit, LST (lashing-some-timber lol) re-positioned a bunch of branches/stakes, meshing the two plants together, in the middle. nuf snapshots. details as the week-ends. -Nutrient ratios are Max’d as the volume will continue to climb for 2 more big feeds. -rapid-start & cal/mg have already been dialed back a bit. My watering volume per/24hr now shows my water use in metric. That # is based on the last 2 meals and I’m now looking at 5 days without nutes... 14th, Steady progress all the way round. Moving lights and supports as needed. Reach continues on the Right plant, while the Left continues to look amazing -molasses in next feed (Sat), TDS to be updated 15th -the volume of water my plants have been receiving, has been larger each of the last 4 feedings. Extra time between feeds has been allotted and watering based on Pot weight/dryness is keeping the plants Full and Green. -The next feed will be half the volume of the last one. The goal tomorrow (day 5 since last feed) is to immediately satisfy the plants nutritional needs with a small meal (7 litres/2), but then it’s going to scream for more food. This time I will wait only 2 days and return to the larger volume and a 4-5 day cycle. That’s the plan. Goal was to raise both the volume and demand for more nutrients. (Without creating a swamp) It’s been kind of patchwork getting the numbers-up, and this is the first pause in that steady climb. Both plants seem to be firing in all cylinders. Sun Jan17 - adding Molasses to each feeding from Week 5 on in to harvest. - 2 days since last half-feed. Big feed tonight and 5 day gap next. -Reached my Max H2o volume with solid Nutrition #’s. Plan is to hold levels for week 5/6 and then begin to taper nutes & volume slightly in 7/8 and hold till flush (11) & harvest (12/13) ** this grow is my best effort yet, if anybody sees or feels it’s getting “sideways”... I would love to hear about your opinion/concerns. ** The buds that are forming, actually have some substance to them. Tired of Indoor Popcorn. This grow is hapnin

Yellow climbed all the way up both plants. Been flushing for a while. Trichs seemed to be maturing very slow, since the sugar and fan leafs were already yellow and crispy. About to harvest even with only about 15% amber trichs. Should reach normal maturity while drying and curing. I'm going to give them a full 48 hours of darkness before the chop.

Der Grow: Die Sämlinge haben sich gut entwickelt und auch der Cover Crop hat angefangen zu wachsen. Das Blumat System hält die Erde bei etwa 100 mbar. Die LED wurde am Anfang der Woche so eingestellt, dass ca. 200 PPFD, bei den Pflanzen ankommen. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich leicht gesenkt. Am letzten Tag der Woche, war es Zeit zum umtopfen. Wie immer habe ich mir die Pflanze mit dem schönsten wuchs rausgesucht und diese umgetopft. Die anderen beiden, bleiben noch ein paar Tage stehen, als Back Up, falls etwas schief geht. Die selektierte Pflanze hatte den Anzuchttopf schön durchwurzelt. Die Wurzeln habe ich vor dem einpflanzen noch einmal mit Mykorrhiza geimpft. Nachdem einpflanzen wurde leicht angegossen und das Scrog Netz entfernt. Die LED habe ich so eingestellt das ca. 350 PPFD bei der Pflanze ankommen. Die Parameter in Woche 2: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 70% - 80% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 65% - 75% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26,1 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23,1 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 75,3% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 70,5% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 0,6 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 0,7 LED Leistung: 10% = 70 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

Start of week 2 flowering. Put the triple cheese in my other tent under the spider famer SE3000 instead of the Sf2000 to give her that extra boost in flower. Because she is quite a biggie, she can use al the light I can give her. Gonne let her ride for another few days to a week before doing a heavy defoliation. 30 march. Defoliation time

Hello everyone 😎 Week 5 of flower for the Tropi🌴🍪 The top buds are ready✂️ Harvest in 2-3 times… Amazing buds solid as a diamond 💎 It’s not easy to get this result with an autoflower. Exactly what I’m looking for and this is why I love so much Fast Buds🤩 And when you get this result the trim is easier😁

There isn't much more to say about this fantastic strain. Hardy, easy to clone, quick to flower and absolutely delicious in every respect. It resists well to high temperatures, "accidental" over fertilization, and recovers soon after a period of drought. Easy and fast.

Both plant 1 and 2 are looking a lot healthier. Started LST with both the autos and it seems to be working well so far. The bigger one has a very strong main stem and is flourishing. The smaller one that I thought I was gonna lose is bouncing back, though at a pretty slow rate. I'll be lucky to get a quarter off that one. I also had a bag seed that I planted before these guys - didn't seem like she was gonna make it, but after I transplanted her to s 5gal pot, she became the healthiest of the bunch. No idea what stain she is, but I don't think she's auto. Works for me -- I'll keep vegging her at least until I harvest the two NLAs and let her grow big and tall :) Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Day 45 - Found the GC's main branch broken this morning. My error was tying it down too much. Never had plants so big so I'm still learning the best way to LST them in order to fit them in my closet. Takin the broke with philosophy: I never topped a plant, so I'm curious to see how she will develop from now and how much she will yield. Keep growing and learning every day 🙏🏼💪🏼🌱 Day 48 - Ladies are stretching much more every day, going to be two big girls 😋😋😋

Girls are trucking along without much issue. I did have a bit of PH flux due to my PH meter calibration being off but no biggie, she didn't show too much signs of stress. These girls are starting to stink which I'm happy about, hoping for a really cheesy harvest :D

Cut a week early and a little bit of drama along the way, some issues with persistent bud rot from week 14 or so most likely caused by my blocked intake filter. I learned a lot during this grow and will take these experiences and hopefully turn them into a better next time! Will definitely have another go at growing Royal Gorilla in the not too distant future, however I think I have enough to smoke on for quite some time. Overall appearance of the buds and their structure are not as pretty as my last run, however the flavours, yield (1.48 gpw) and potency make up for that imo. Thanks for following along, good luck with your grows!

Hello, long time, no grow. I’m trilled to start on a new grow project, i’m away from growing a long time, but my love for ot was always present, i miss it a lot so i have got a few strains from Fastbuds to test and come back with a minimal setup. I have got the Festberry, Bluedream, and the 1:20 cbd, they have sent in the Banana Purple punch Ok, so what is a minimal setup? For this grow i have choose to grow in my balcony, it is fairly big and i gave good sunlight, we are in summer now, so temps are high, swinging a lot. It is raining often as well so I did not need to water much. For the nutrients i will go organic i think, in my substrate i have about 30% warm castings, so i’m good for till mid grow length +-, i might add a bit of nutrients in 30 days mark. The objective of this experiment is to use as little as possible, 360 degrees. For the germination process i have used a mixed process method, that i have learned from Fastbuds and i have loved it, 24h in a glass of filtered water, paper towel for about 24h -48h and then the Floraflex gremination pellets, i have tested on the jiffy and worked fine as well. Cool about this method, if you are more on the anxious side or like to control more the process this is the way, you can follow the hole process and see the development in parts. I will add images later on, for this breakdown. Well that is it, lets hope for a cool, safe journey for this girls. — The Blue dream i had germinated two and both look great so I have decided to keep two in one vase. Never done it, so let’s see what will happen.

Estoy satisfecho porque la planta está sana y creciendo bien pero la conclusión es que con tres o cuatro plantas y poda apical se reduce mucho el tiempo de vegetación. En cuanto a riego está pidiendo mucha agua y creciendo a gusto. Espero la semana que viene pasarla a floración. Hice una muy ligera defoliación y un canal para que el agua no se escape por los agujeros de la maceta al regar.
