Another week, another bang. This cycle is honestly stupid easy. Living soil doing all the work while I just watch. I Moved the lamp, did the defoliation, that’s it. No feeding, no chasing problems, no stress. I even left for a business trip and the grow didn’t give a single f**k. Fully automated, zero drama. What really stands out: the bud development at this early stage is insane compared to my previous grows. The way the buds are stacking and filling out this early is on a completely different level. Lowkey annoyed I didn’t find this living soil earlier. The other ones I ran were okay at best. This one actually delivers. Only thing I’m keeping an eye on now is humidity. Not trying to gamble with mold, so a dehumidifier is coming in the next days. Feels almost illegal how smooth this run is

The beginning of week 5! I think we are going into flower this week, signs are there. 7/22 (Day 35) - Started off week 5 with the most LST and Defoliation I have done and I was nervous. They needed it though, I was getting worried about mold and airflow through these bushy ladies, so I did my best and kinda followed my instinct. I did watch and read a ton of videos and articles and tried to put what I learned to use. I think these ladies are about to go into flower as well, started noticing the white pistols and where potential bud sites are going to be so I did my best to make those available to light and as even as possible. Will be letting them rest for a few days and reassess then. Everything continues to stay in check and the new dehumidifier worked awesome last night keeping the humidity in check. 7/23 (Day 36)- Didnt get any pictures this day. Pretty normal day, they drank 2 gallons and just continue to grow. I feel like they are just growing like crazy still and I think im starting to see them start stretching a bit more. 7/24 (Day 37)- Did the res change this morning, they are definitely starting to stretch and the bud sites seem to becoming more obvious. I went with more Veg neats after doing some reading, I may switch to bloom next week depending on how they are stretching. They fully recovered from the LST and defoliation two days ago. I decided to do a bit more today and focus on opening up light to sites that need them. Everything gets covered up so fast and I am having to defoliate a bit almost every other day it seems. 7/25 (Day 38)- Everytime I defoliate and do some LST they seem to bounce back so fast like next day. I did a bit more with the front left plant, she is lagging behind the others a bit, but that one has always seemed to be the runt. They are starting to form buds, especially back left plant which seems to have taken off a bit faster than the others. They are drinking almost 3 gallons a day! Everything continues to stay in check. I am debating if I should try scrogging or not, or just continue to LST and defoliate. Any input is welcome! 7/26 (Day 39) - Just kind of checked in on them and topped up the res today, Everything looks nice and healthy, all conditions are staying consistent and everyone is looking healthy. 7/27 (Day 40)- Did quite a bit of defoliation this morning. They needed it badly, a lot of the light was not getting through to under the canopy. Going to just keep an eye on them and see how they recover the next few days. As always, tips and recommendations are always appreciated!

Start of week 6 Starting to see some nice buds forming really happy so far, not much smell or maybe I've got used to it. The gorilla cookies seems to be darker and has been droopy the last few days Still not sure if I'm using enough water and feel like there is dry patches in the bottom of pots, next time I will use stones or perlite at the bottom for drainage I've been feeding and then putting some water in the bottom tray too but I'm a noob and too worried about overwatering that I might even be underwatering, the two are drinking up a lot i just went up to 2 litres per 24 hours and some in the bottom tray too but I feel like the solo is taking longer to drink it up I'm only doing half that it maybe a little bit more it's hard to tell. Will update through the week with more questions

4-5-2021 Trace elements fix. i think everything is stable about 2/3 plants had some micro nutrition deficiency so i think tomorrow im gonna turn the watts from 280watt to 350watt , and some light defoliation max 5% Fun to grow : i just love her , Amazing plant she grows very well and easy, just 2 see her explode from week 4 till now is very impressive😱 growing in height stopt because i can see she putting some weight on her beautiful tops of enjoy.. Recommend: Duux whisper-flex-smart : https://duux.com/product/whisper-flex-smart-white-battery-pack/ EXTREMELY quiet and smart and that is exactly what i like! extremely quiet is no extradition, the quiets ventilator i ever experience for sure! You can operate the ventilator with a app and change 26 speed setting also natural wind and damn moving up and down from left to right and in-between! amazing how quit she is so fucking handy for the stealth growers who need a little help, also there is a option for a accu so 12 hours without power is no problem!also the freedom moving without a power cord... i just fucking love it! yes 200 euro is not a small price but for the longterm it is i think. 7-5-2021 Defoliation , around 20% also new batch of 10MIL nematodes, the population of fungus gnats is very small now so almost gone i hope this cycle will kill them all , the hydrorocks helps 4sure alittle bit also for the nematodes its great, no direct light 7-5-2021 3e Run on this reused coco , i bought it in 2018... it's my best run till now so that is interesting, yes i clean it (dead roots etc) and mix the lost coco amount with fresh coco , PH test it and EC , canna flush and i always use enzymes! Next run i buy a clean new batch and mix in with vermiculite Again some defoliation 10% today , cleaning the room and take care of the high humidity 75% is too high so i installed the dehumidifier also a DUUX , i DIY a carbon hepa filter with the exact diameter . they use it for air-purifier so that is nice,, i have a active 3way filter circle , 2 are active and both growtents have a passive intake filter its handy for so many reasons but flying Spoors is 1good reasons 8-5-2021 Bought https://www.migrolight.com/product/migro-uvb-310/ UVB /UVA fixture for the last weeks pf flower i hope its on time , interesting selftestproject Also i cleaned the under side of the cannopy and i added a extra fan fpr good airflow

Not that impressive, buds are quite airy except for one or two which are better but not dense nugs like I was hoping for. I still love this strain, the colours and growing it is good fun. Maybe again one day

Day29F - still showing vast growth on buds, swelling and trichomes blossoming out. The colours starting to form nicely on the buds. Smells like a pungent caramel now. Day32F - This plant is so thick and strong, and can resist a dry and hot climate. For me this plant has been so easy, and she sucks up nutrients and loves it, 💪 Buds are getting dense and so sweet to smell. So fat and so many, I'm surprised on this auto 👏 well done again RQS. Day 68- Day 33F - the buds continue to swell and devolope. Trichomes flooding through now. Starting to see cloudy so will push for another week of nutes if she'll allow it after Friday, we'll see 😏✌️💚

The plant continue to grow incredibly strong and fast from now on I well slow down on grow nutrientes cuz the leaves are very dark green and we are well into flowering meaning they don't need that much not nitrogen anymore. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 today and starting to see a few orange and brown pistils but still plenty of healthy white ones but trichs are still clear with a few milky in there. All looks good and will be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 72 - Nothing new, noticing a bit more pistils shriveling up a bit so I’ll probably give her another week or so and then possibly start flushing her. She did get 2 gallons of plain water today. Day 74 - She’s still chunking up quite a bit and looks like the pistils are finally starting to fade a bit but a ton still nice and healthy. Another day or two and she’ll be ready for some water again. Day 75 - She’s coming down to the end with just a couple weeks left. She needs some water so gave her 2 gallons today and next watering I’ll start the pre-harvest feeding with just MagiCal and SugarDaddy. Day 76 - Nothing new today, just a forest of trees getting fat and stinky. Day 77 - The end of week 11 and still looks like she’s got a good couple weeks left, as of right now. Not gonna give her any nutes and just plain water from here on out.

Plant is the smallest of the bunch and seems to be showing a bit of elongation mutation at the beginning but she’s still green and growing. I’m sure she’ll grow out of this stage soon. Can’t wait to see. 1/9/24 Transplant day today. Can’t wait to watch them grow!
