This week the plant continued to stretch reaching 55 cm. The tent is really feeling small both in height and width, the lamp is almost as high as it can get. I might have had done better with more pruning earlier, now I don't I don't want to stress too much this far into flowering. This week just removed some leaves and some branches without significant flowering from the bottom. Right after switching to a HID light for flowering, the leaves started drooping badly. The plant has mostly recovered from that. Flowers are getting bigger, slowly growing trichomes on the leaves too.

Apr 20: They hanging out at 65% rh and 65F.. Going for 7-10 day dry… No wet trim, cut plants in half and hung… Very happy with density and resin production… Can’t wait to jar and test in 2-3 weeks… I feel comfortable with this strain, I think it’s time to move on… Really wanna run some Mephisto seeds….

Week 9 Didn’t do anything this week except water the lady’s. My telescopes batteries died so I can’t take pics of the tricomes. Rest assured they are nice as hell. They are a massive mix of colour. You see purple, cloudy yellow and amber. Super excited to puff on these nugs!!

She's still going! Not long now though, I'm thinking a week or two. She is so frosty and sticky! Incredible.

So I've started adding nutes to their water. I usually never use a full dose of FoxFarm Grow Big because I've had some bad reactions when I did. They perked right up so like I suspected last week, they'd almost consumed all the nutes that came in the FoxFarm soil I'm using. I'm hoping this is the grow that finally doesn't almost give me an early heart attack like all the others 🤣😂😂🤣❤️😍💕

December 27, 2023 Day 113 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 3 Curing I just got my grove bags, so there won't be any burping. 2 weeks of curing time should do it. Maybe 3 Gorilla Cookies: This lady is nearly done now. I think I started flushing a little late. As in today. The top half of the plant is just about ready for harvest while the lower half still has white pistils. Lots of trichomes, but still not ready yet. So I removed the wick system and will be top watering Flawless Finish as needed. She my be harvest ready in the next few days. Maybe tomorrow? I don't know. I have the lights coming in tomorrow, so those should help speed the maturing process along quickly. Anyway, I'll be harvesting very soon. I think I'll remove some fan leaves before harvest. Just to make trimming gonna little faster and to give more air flow while drying. It's raining and gross today. Unfortunately, that means the RH in the tent is too high. So I need to keep an eye today. Open the tent up every couple of hours to let any extra moisture out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 52.6% VPD: 1.30 kPa December 28, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 4 Curing The whole yield is in a quarter pound grove bag now. It's sealed so there's nothing to do but let it cure for the next 4 weeks. I can't wait. This stuff is fire! Gorilla Cookies: This lady definitely has a bunch of amber trichomes on the tops, but after further inspection, its more like a quarter of the plant is ready for harvest. Just the tops. So the supplemental lighting may help things move along. I'm not expecting anything of substance, but it will certainly mature faster and I'll be able to harvest sooner. She got about 1.5 liters of Flawless Finish top feed today. She'll be needing a new top feed every couple of days from now on. I only expect her to last another week. Maybe a little less, but still no fade on this lady. However, her leaves are popping off without any pressure. Just touch and some of them pop right off. Some of them won't even take a pulling or bending. So she's definitely not quite ready yet. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 55.5% VPD: 1.25 kPa It's rainy and humid out here, so the tent is suffering from it. It's not too bad, but it has been hovering over 56% and that's unacceptable. Even with the tent door wide open, it only goes down to around 52%. It shouldn't last more than a few more hours. We just need the temp to drop a bit and everything will level out. At least down to around 51% for now. We have a could front coming in soon, so that'll fix the issue. December 29, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 5 Curing Gorilla Cookies: She is just about ready. The top seems like it's definitely ready to go, but I want the lower part of the plant to mature up a bit. Hopefully the supplemental lighting will help move that along. She will need another flush tomorrow. I'll give her around 3 to 5 days. I won't be able to do a dark period with this one. The tent will already have a drying plant in it and they won't be able to fit in there at the same time. Unless they are both drying. On the other hand, I may be able to squeeze both in there. We shall see. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 52.7% VPD: 1.32 kPa December 30, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 6 Curing Gorilla Cookies: She isn't showing much, but I don't really expect her to with the new lights. She is too far along. I'm just hoping for a faster maturity rate. She definitely needs to be harvested within the next week. She got another flush today with the Flawless finish. I don't know how many flushes she has left before harvest, but I doubt it's much. Maybe 2 or 3? No signs of fading though. It's strange. This plant and the smaller on in the main tent haven't faded at all. While the big one in the main tent looks like she will have a wonderful fade. I wonder what I'm doing wrong with this one. Maybe the soil is just too rich for the short term flushing. Maybe she really needs a full 2 weeks of flush. We shall see. I will check trichomes tomorrow I think. I don't think I'll see much difference from 2 days ago. Not in the lower part of the plant that is. The tops are all ready to go. They could certainly use a tiny bit more time, but they are definitely ready to go now. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 50.7% VPD: 1.34 kPa December 31, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 7 Curing Gorilla Cookies: She's taking a bit longer than expected, well, actually I originally expected about a week after another Gorilla Cookies from the main tent. I harvested it today. This lady looks like she may be harvest ready in the next 3 to 5 days. I'm hoping she will take a bit longer so I can clear out the dry tent for her. She got about a liter of Flawless Finish today. I'm not sure if she is still as thirsty as she once was. Honestly, I can't tell. She was using the wick system so efficiently, before, I couldn't say how much she was actually drinking at the time. Maybe a liter a day? So she may have not changed her drinking volume at all. Which also means she isn't ready for harvest. The lower part of the plant is still immature. However, the supplemental lighting seems to be helping to move things along. We shall see. Let's hope for some extra time. Ultimately 10ndays would be perfect. But I'm almost certain that won't be a thing. It's too far away compared to her maturity level, especially with the main tops. Those are all nearly ready to go as it is. They could be harvested anytime. But I can still hold off anyway for more amber trichomes. Her leaves are loaded with them, but I don't see a bunch on the buds yet. I'd like to see 20% amber with this plant and preferably no clear. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 47.8% VPD: 1.40 kPa January 1, 2024 Happy New Year! Strawberry Gorilla: Day 8 Curing Gorilla Cookies: I believe the lights are doing the job now. The lower part of the canopy is starting to harden off, pistils are turning orange and trichomes are starting to turn cloudy. At least from what I can see. She got another top watering today with about a liter of Flawless Finish. It looks like she is still drinking at the same rate as before. I wonder if I started flushing a bit too early. It's quite possible. But maybe not. The top of the plant is ready to go as it has been for nearly a week. I'm going to check the trichomes in the next day or 2. I don't think it's absolutely necessary at the moment as I can tell the bottom of the plant is still very immature, but moving along nicely. I wonder if foxtails take less time to finish up than a solid bud. An interesting theory. However, the plant has been about a week behind anyway due to the few stressors she was under. Anyway, I think I can hold off harvesting for the week coming up. Update: I had to turn the main light intensity down from 40% to 30% for the large plant in the main diary. The PPFD is around 750 now. Apparently the light intensity should be dropped around this time anyway, so maybe I'm doing a good thing for this Gorilla Cookies. I'm leaving the supplemental lighting alone for now. I believe it is doing something. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 46.3% VPD: 1.45 kPa January 2, 2024 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 9 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Today was another top feed of Flawless Finish. She is cruising through water at a decent rate. I'm pretty sure I was too early with her flushing. The supplemental lighting seems to have perked her right up. The lower part of the plant is showing healthy deep green growth instead of the light green from before. The little budlets are swelling up as well. They aren't tight, dense or anything like that. There are clusters of them all over the lower branches. No real formed buds. But will be great with the trim. At least from what I won't be able to salvage as a bud. Even a loose bud is better than a trim bud. I've also decided to wait to harvest this lady for when the dry tent is cleared out of another Gorilla Cookies that's in there. It should have around 8 days left. Frankly, I'm not worried about it. It'll be a good experiment to see how this strain does with a higher percentage of amber trichomes. Although, at this rate, I don't think 8 days is off the mark by much. I know a lot can happen in 8 days, but I don't think the lower part of the plant will have a problem with it. Lots of clear trichomes. Plenty of cloudy, but definitely too many clear. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 45.2% VPD: 1.47 kPa

Skipped a week in my journal due to travels. Had my neighbor water my plants. Having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants (particularly the chem brulee)... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. This is their first ever bottled feeding. Have been running on supersoil and a prayer. Also top dressed everything and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. Leaves have been yellowing on all three. Mostly relegated to the interior of the plants. Chem Brulee is looking a bit too yellow overall, as well. French Macaron is a 66in. Chem Brulee is 56in. Pineapple Meatball is 45in. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably at least once per week. Don't want to overdo it. Also top dressed with my flowering top dress mix and mulched all plants with a thin layer of rice straw. 8/4 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap 8/5 Sprayed with Gravenstein Apple FFJ and OHN 8/6 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap (this will likely be the last time I spray with Neem Oil, as I don't want residual oils as buds start swelling. Also fed 1/4 strength FOOP to ensure we head off any deficiencies.

Attached the net this week as they can now fit under it. Going to train them under the scrog Now using the bio canna range a full dose. Due to the temperature rising, I have now invested in another fan and changed the light schedule from 24/0 to 18/6.

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 grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. 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 theme 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 8 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 my moisture dome 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 CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-20. These girls are much slower to germinate and to start growing than the other 6 girls I started at the same time. One of the germinated seeds split in half, so I had to take a new seed and germinate it. It took 2 days. It was just a smal taproots after germination with this strain as opposed to my Fastbuds cbd. But I hope everything goes well from now and that they live up to their name, Fast Eddy. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08-21. New pics. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-22. Nr1 dident make it and died. Started germinate a new seed to get another Nr1. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-27. Nr 1 is in a small pot in humidity dome and i hope shes going to break the surface soon. Nr 2 is slow but doing fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr2 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls Nr2. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. 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. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie.

Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 17 from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test.

Its been amazing watching them grow in the first week 😍 Lets go for week 2 🤞 I think they look a bit heat stressed so i raise the lamp a few centimeters.. Day 8- 100ml Water Day10- 400ml Water Day 12- 1L Water + 0.7 ml Root Fast Day 13 -----> I gave the same amount of water to all 4 plants last time but #1 and #2 look overwater i think... #3 has a diferent structure and a bit darker, probably because the soil is to rich. Big Bud is looking perfect 😍

🗓️ Week 11 – Flower Week 7 (MAC n Cheese only) This week brought a noticeable shift: After raising the input EC to 2.0, runoff EC spiked to 2.2–2.6 – a clear sign of salt saturation in the medium. Despite that, pH remained stable between 6.2–6.3, and no visible signs of overfeeding or nutrient lockout appeared. 🔧 Adjustment planned: Starting next watering, EC will be reduced to 1.6–1.7 to rebalance the substrate and maintain nutrient uptake efficiency. 🌿 Current plant status: MAC n Cheese is looking incredibly strong – healthy, vigorous, and showing no stress despite the high EC in the runoff. Frost production is in full swing now, and the buds are packing on serious weight. 🧀 Visuals & Flower Development: The buds are massive, dense, and coated in a thick frost layer – already resembling little icicles. She’s maturing into something special. ❄️🔥
