February 23, 2021 (Week 7, Day 50, Flower 1): It's the first day of flower! The plants slept for 12 hours last night and will keep that up until harvest. Still seeing pretty crazy growth even for the 12 hours of darkness they went through. Grew about another .5". Excited to see how much these things stretch. Soil was very dry this morning so I watered with 4l of water per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus + 1/4 tsp/gal Humboldt Nutrients Big Up Flower Powder with a pH of 5.8. Runoff pH of 6.3. I will start watering with a 6.0 solution going forward. I also top dressed with about an inch of fresh Roots Organics Lush soil. Plants are looking great. Not seeing any problems currently. I'll keep a close eye on them as they transition. Turned down humidity another 5% today. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉.
February 24, 2021 (Week 7, Day 51, Flower 2): Plants look great. Soil still moist from watering. Tilled half inch of topsoil. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉. Nothing else for today.
February 25, 2021 (Week 7, Day 52, Flower 3): No complaints at all. These plants are as healthy as they can be from what I can tell. The growth sites are starting to do some funky stuff and everything is kind of starting to "clump" together. Really interesting to watch this process happen, as I've always wondered exactly how the buds begin to form. I was greeted with a very sweet smell when I opened my tent this morning, nothing strong yet. To encourage further vertical growth I've removed all LST ties except for two from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I adjusted the ties on Unknown 1 because it's already starting to stretch and I need it to slow down just a bit while the others catch up. Soil is semi-moist this morning but the pots are still pretty heavy, so I'll water in a day or two. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉.
February 26, 2021 (Week 7, Day 53, Flower 4): Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Defoliated one more node on each growth stem - the lollipop look is coming around. It will probably be my last defoliation like this. From now on I'll only pluck fan leaves that get in the way of bud sites. Unknown 1 grew over 2" in the last 24 hours. The stretch is getting real. I removed all remaining LST ties from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I redid the LST ties on Unknown 1 in an attempt to control its growth, but at this point I feel like it's just going to be a lanky plant and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll do my best to keep them as level as I can. Also, I took off Unknown 2's stem cast today and it healed really, really well. I have never seen a plant do this, but it filled itself in with tissue that is soft to the touch, and there's only a slight split at the top. It's looking really great. My wife noticed the smell of the plants this morning for the first time - so that's a good sign! Plants are starting to put off a lot of their own humidity, so I haven't refilled my humidifier in days. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Friday everyone! 👻
February 27, 2021 (Week 7, Day 54, Flower 5): Soil is still moist - tilled half inch of topsoil. Overnight it appears Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are doing their damnedest to catch up with Unknown 1 - they both grew about 2". Plants are looking great and are definitely starting to stretch! Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
February 28, 2021 (Week 7, Day 55, Flower 6): Top soil is pretty dry, but the pots are still heavy. I'll hold off watering for a day or two. The last 24-hour period I think I saw the biggest difference in the plants so far. Each growth stem stretched a ton on each plant, but at varying degrees. The canopy is suddenly uneven, but I think trying to keep everything even at this point will be futile. I will let them go and install the SCROG net soon if the colas start growing too differently from one another. The stipules on every plant tripled in length overnight so I think the plants are definitely getting with the new 12-hour schedule. All the plants are starting to shoot off tons of pre-flowers and pistils now. They're in the swing of things now. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
March 1, 2021 (Week 7, Day 56, Flower 7): Soil is dry but pots still have some weight. Will probably water tomorrow. Plants are looking fantastic. Canopy is stretching all over the place. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
Looking forward to next week! Hopefully we'll start to see some flowers poking through soon!

Lots of growth this week and working to solve the humidity issues - Jack had a trim!
I think it's probably because of the size of my pots but these girls just won't stop growing! I bit the bullet and did some light defoliation on Jack this week - it didn't seem to phase her at all so I'm a bit more confident about going further.
I decided to giver her a bit of a trim, mostly the lower fan leaves. It was because she was so dense and tucking the leaves wasn't really working out, she bounced back fine so now I'm thinking of giving her a bigger trim - not sure I've got the guts though!
I've kept feeding her a little bloom every couple of days, not sure if it's helping with her size and density but I don't really want to stop.
Flowers are developing but not as quickly as those on the Chocolate Orange, Jack doesn't smell quite as much as her any more either.
To fix the humidity issues I diverted the extraction duct to another room which seems to have made a big difference, RH is now consistently under 57% and usually around 55% - still not ideal but I don't think I'll get it much lower. I've moved the fan so that there's plenty of air moving over the canopy - hopefully enough to keep away the mould as the grow progresses.

OVERALL:
~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run.
~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest.
~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant.
~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent)
~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB)
YIELD:
~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed.
~ 753g (Wet)
~ 0.91g/watt
GENETICS:
~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username!
STRAIN REVIEW:
~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again.
TRAINING:
~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics)
~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light.
~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily.
DRYING
~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation.
~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers
UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest:
~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample.
~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars
CURING:
~Curing in jars 3/4 full.
~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH
~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%.
~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour.
~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage.
~ Already tastes and feels great.
WATER:
~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm)
~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb)
CLIMATE:
~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C
~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C
~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night)
~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH)
~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.)
~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm)
AIR PRESSURE:
~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals)
~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals)
~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside
LIGHT:
~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle.
~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm)
~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65
~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm)
NUTRIENTS:
~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on)
~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym)
~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae)
ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES:
INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL:
Infection control practices i.e
~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash
~ Gray room outside tent,
~ Carbon filter
~ HEPA filter
~ Plasma Ionizer
~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb
~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins.
~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens.
~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak
(No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

1/10 Week 9
Long way to go but so long as before, things looking good
Rehung the lights picked up four more inches of height which I HAD to have or burn Octopussy.
The run down:
In Flower tent
Full Bloom nuets
Pussy Galore (FF7) stretch has ended she is bulking like crazy
Octopussy(LSD) Stretch finally ending she has more room now
Plenty (GC) Just a damn beautiful plant bulking starting great, stretch been gone for a couple of days now
Half n' Half
12ml/gal Grow 12ml/gal Bloom + kanga
Solitaire (CC) Getting larger entering full flower will switch when I see more hair
Chew Mee (F2) Ditto
Bambi (F6) Ditto as well
In auto tent switching to 12-12 today -
Still on 20ml/gal GrowA/B +kanga
Dink(FF2) Is just doing great!
Tiffany Case - Gold Leaf ditto
Thumper - FB FFT-8 Ditto
Holly Goodhead - FB FFT-7 Ditto
Mary Goodnight - ILGM Gold Leaf Ditto
Clones:
.75ml/L Grow A/B
All made it though not all will be selected having to start that process now as they wont want to stay in those solos very long
1/13
Reduced bloom nuets for full flower seeing a bit of sign the N is too high.
All others look solid so took it down 20% leaving PK as is
1/14
Everything got a dose of Neem oil, pots only
Some didnt like the bloom nuet drop putting it back
Wondering about the LSD/Octopussy first time growing this in photo so kind of winging it. Not sure if something is at her or just the way it grows.
Dont see anything unexpected still dealing with a small population of gnats. Prob never be rid of them until we can get toxic on em.
Auto tent is coming along began introducing bloom nuets to all
16ml/gal GrowA/B 4ml/gal Bloom
Dink, its hard to imagine that plant a month ago
Clones got a coat of Neem oil a bit of white fungus was trying to set up
12/16
Its all looking good, the issues we have we expected
Made up the last pot for the clones with about 4 gallons of coco/perlite left over out of the original 40 gallons of coco, not bad 😎
May well be the last pot I make up here, *sniff sniff* 😜
Good night and thanks for all the fish

Que pasa familia, volvemos el viernes con las power plant xL del banco Zambezaseeds, la verdad que estoy sorprendido con el Aroma que desprenden estos ejemplares, es muy dulce y fuerte.
Han crecido bastante a diferencia del resto, sacaron brazos largos y llenos de flores.
Conseguimos bajar la humedad y eso se agradece por la etapa que afrontamos de floración. Estás tú ultimas semana sin añadiremos PK en polvo.
Hemos tutorado las power plant xL debido a la altura y el peso de la flor en si, ahorramos problemas futuros estás semanas y las centramos al engorde.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
Join me as we explore its journey from birth to maturity and discover why this plant has been with humanity for thousands of years.
Every great journey begins small. Extremely small.
Sricky Broccoli Seeds. A 90% Indica variety.
A cross between a plant as productive as Sticky Beast and the super aromatic Green Crack.
Inside each seed lives a true survival kit: nutrients, energy, and a genetic map that tells it how to become a strong plant.
And so it was... We started by soaking the seeds in water, reverse osmosis water. A shot glass filled with water, seeds, and placed in the dark, maintaining a temperature of approximately 20ºC.
Once the radicles showed, I placed them between some kitchen paper towels well moistened with osmosis water.
Once they were well rooted, I transferred them to Plagroon LightMix substrate. A substrate ready for sowing and transplanting.
When conditions are favorable suitable temperature and healthy water the seed awakens. First, the root appears, seeking stability and nourishment. Then, the stem pushes its way toward the light.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hola, gracias por pasar , si tienes alguna duda estaré encantado de poder resolverla.
Acompañame para ver desde su nacimiento hasta su madurez y así descubrir el por qué esta planta nos ha acompañado a la humanidad durante miles de años.
Todo gran viaje comienza siendo pequeño. Extremadamente pequeño.
Semillas Sricky Broccoli. Una variedad 90% índica
Un cruce entre una planta tan productiva como la Sticky Beast con la súper aromática Green Crack.
Dentro de cada semilla vive un auténtico kit de supervivencia: nutrientes, energía y un mapa genético que le dice cómo convertirse en una planta fuerte.
y así fue....
Iniciamos sumergiendo las semillas en agua, agua de osmosis. Un vaso de chupito lleno de agua, semillas y a la oscuridad , manteniendo una temperatura de aproximadamente unos 20ºC .
Una vez enseñaron las radículas las puse entre servilletas de papel de cocina bien humedecidas con agua de osmosis.
Una vez bien enraizadas las pasé a sustrato LightMix de Plagroon . Un sustrato listo en la siembra y trasplante .
Cuando las condiciones son favorables ,temperatura adecuada y agua saludable la semilla despierta. Primero aparece la raíz, buscando estabilidad y alimento. Después, el tallo se abre paso hacia la luz

Grow Report Week 14: The Final Phase of Flowering is Approaching
Hello dear grow friends,
We’re starting a new week, and I’m pleased to report that everything is going well. Although the rear area of the grow is not yielding as lush results as the front, I am overall very satisfied, especially with the scents.
Scent and Resin
All plants really smell excellent and are well-resined, which indicates a good effect. I expect that the plants will need about 2-3 more weeks to mature.
Expectations and Hopes
I hope that especially the plants in the rear area will catch up a bit. The next few weeks will show how the buds will develop in their fullness and potency.
I look forward to sharing the progress with you and am curious to see what the coming time will bring. Until the next update!
Thank you for being there and all the best for your grows! 😊

Week 2 went smooth... Started to see 5-finger leaves showing so I lowered the lights and turned them almost all the way up. Installed a Co2 Dispersal Canister that should finish out veg. Wish I knew the ppm for the Co2 but I don't. Finna start LST this upcoming week

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out.
Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

FBT2309/Week1
Week 1 update on these new sprouts. Been a week since they sprouted and so far seems good. I did switch from misting the top soil with my sprayer to feeding 500ml of water and 1/4tsp/gal strength General Hydroponics Calimagic. Started to get some rust spots on the leafs so I'll keep a close eye and see what happens this week and decide the appropriate action to take. Over all Happy Growing

Was a nice experience to grow her. Reacted really good to topping, I topped her just once, than I used LST to maintain her little bit I think I messed up with it, I'm sure that she had the ability to produce way more if just I leaved her more free during her vegetative stage.

I most likely overfed the week before but didn't realize it. We'll carry on and live with it, but it'll get worse in the next weeks.
One of the plants (top left in the video) has quite the strong smell now, while the others hardly smell at all.

Flowering day 11
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature.
The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍.
The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍.
Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) .
Did them a lot of good.
You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍.
Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.
Stay healthy 🙏🏻

Nothing much going on here. No LST. Didn’t really takeoff many new leaves.
I didn’t check up on the plants for a whole 24 hours. I didn’t notice when I last watered that I had missed a plant as you see in the first video.
It went back up in about 6 hours like nothing ever happened to her.
When growing many plants it’s very easy to forget to water one or two.
That’s why it’s important to water all single file from row to row , starting from the top plant to the bottom plant, all the way though the last sections. Learned the hard way lol

This week went real well! All 5 of the Twenty20 Ogreberry Autos and the 1 Fastbuds Bruce Banner have successfully germinated and sprouted up from the soil!! This upcoming week we will start giving these girls a heavy feeding of nutrients PH d at 6.5 an see how they react , most likely will love it!! Temperature an humidity has been on point, through out the day we reach 70-75 degrees an a nice humidity of 65%which is always nice ! Hope you all enjoy an keep them eyes peeled for next week !!

So this week we have a heatwave witht 30 degrees celcius,looking good so far except the smallest one.
she is a week or so younger but stays fairly small,but looks healthy.
cheers!
