What a fucking tree! This lady has been on a mission to just reach the sky! On the plus side... what a mighty big main cola shes wiping up. Gunna be a beast of a 1 gallon. Shes loving her new home and is no longer getting beatin up by being too close to the light. I treated her with lost coast to continue her preventative regime. I bumped her bloom dose. Get some extra pk flowing n keep this lady good and happy. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Week 12 of Gelato 41 by seedstockers, Just look at that growth😂 Shes been loving the rain it looks like 😍 Showing no pest issues... showing no nutrition issues either. Her colour is beautiful 😍 Letting her soak up all that rain water from the pot. Probably wont water for 7days to see how she does. Have Still been morning spraying them when its not pouring with rain. Also topped her on a branches they i felt like needed it.

Have had some nice growth. The brown dotts on lower leafs have gone away(fixed the nutrients) have a stronger led light coming friday so maybe it will help the bloom.

The girls are doin pretty good this week. Finished off L.S.T. earlier in the week. Applied first re-amendment of nutes, not including the compost tea from last week. Turned the light almost all the way up. Hoping to flatten out the canopy with a trellis net. There doesn't seem to be deficiencies on the new growth, and they're going full steam ahead so I'm happy about that.

With the majority of trichomes now turned milky with some turning Amber, i have decided to begin a 10 day flush using nothing but ph balanced water. Doing a shorter than normal flush as the plants with deficiencies don't have much nutes to use up.

Questa panty punch auto ha un profilo TERPENICO DOLCISSIMO, fruttata,e vaniglia...un profumo.....Una vera delizia tutta da gustare........ È la prima volta che faccio la panty punch auto, e devo dire che anche se ancora non la ho assaggiata, sono sicuro che sarà un altra pianta autofiorente che ci metterò la firma, come la forbidden runtz auto della fast buds(molto valide per la mia terapia)

Day 92. In video you can see how brown is Gorilla Max pistils and how sad looking is pale Bunny Gorilla, both girls are drinking fast, so maybe they will finish with decent result, that was two strongest plants, sad ... All other girls are ok, Control garden is huge, side colas , which gets more light caught up tops standing in dark, funny to observe. So many plants bring humidity up, will do defoliation in 4 days on my new days off. Silica and CalMag out. Day 94. Girls are okish, Bunny Gorilla refused to drink pure water, pot was still heavy, i will check in the morning, but she went into some stress or lockdown a bit, but maybe its just my paranoia , morning weighting will show. Defoliation is a must, but i know now, that this time its overcrowded, cant access pots for lifting, max 10 plants and i think for 2 month veging those airpots are too small, i think they have even only like 15 liters of actual soil in them despite 20 liters on price tag, next round i am back to fabric pots , have new 30 liters waiting in dark room for theirs turn. Day 94 Evening. Morning for me, but girls where going to sleep, some pots already ultra light, same mistake in one grow ??? Never !!! ;)))))) All girls got heavy feed, managed to mix up 1000 ppm from 4 components only, huge amounts involved, very hard without BioGrow, think it was too early for sure to take N out. With Bunny was real headache, but at the end she was light as most others... Overthinking not good, better to flow with them. Honestly think such version of grow would be better with single plant or higher electric capacity ... Don't want to move place, so next grow again change of tactics..... ;))))) Toping on 5 nod with mini LST and veg max 5 weeks. Loads of bottom buds are smaller than seed from which they grow. Think to lolitop all that crap. Two days till next watering to make decision ... Day 95. Girls are happier than ever, they needed more food, thats all. Now i think i will do feed/feed/water regime till end of week 8, then heavy flush, its summer at mines and i can do it properly outside. Girls bulk up every day. Thinking to lift Gorillas tonight and all lights as well, Incredible Bulks and Strawberry Cough doing magic in shadow , what will they do with a bit of more light then ??? ;) Day 96. Socialism in my garden ;)))) Cookies are crap, Gorillas are The Joy, all Control Garden makes me wanna sing as well... No more defoliation or lolitoping, they are fattening up and i want to see final weight and nice colours .... Heavy feed at the end of this day or next morning . Happy growing !

(12-8)Roots are growing. Emily is increasing height everyday. My humidity is really low (low 30's) so I have ordered a small humidifier to put in the A.B.L.E. Grow Chamber. Music selection includes Nirvana, Lou Reed, Joy Division, Fugazi and Led Zepplin. will keep my pH between 5.8 and 6. will also post end of week photos. (12-9) Added small humidifier to the chamber. It raises the humidity by @ 15% which is OK but I need more humidity for my clone these first weeks. Have ordered a larger humidifier and hopefully that will get me in the high 60's. I'm around 45% at the moment with the small humidifier. (12-10) The large humidifier did the trick. Got humidity up to 70% and I also installed a drip ring around the top of the container so hopefully that will help the roots grow better.

Strain is Lemon Pie x Gorilla Cookies Auto R2 Grow started on July 8th, 2022 I dropped these directly into another pot with some plants that I was pretty sure were not awesome. I was right and these germinated quickly and are growing well. Out of four, the two I kept were the best ones, so I named them 1 and 2 Direct to soil, same feed as my Green Gelato Auto grow, Flora Nova Bloom with all the good Gaia Green nutes and worm castings and myco in the soil already. Crimson Clover is cover/companion July 23, 2022 Day 15 My impression of these two autos so far: super fast growing, topped on day 15, 1st week of veg. I was NOT going to top them, but they are so fast, I need to buy some time, since the other plants are filling out now. I don't think she will slow down by much.

420 Fastbuds Week 3 Gorilla Cookies Auto What up what up grow fam. This week has been fun as I decided to do a major defoliation taking off all fan leafs. I find it doesn't hurt the plant and it let's the lower branch receive more light. I will probably add a little calmag to my next feeding as I see a few rust spots on a couple leafs. All in all Happy Growing.

Hello Guys ! Hope you all are doing well during this beautiful summer. I am very happy to share pics and videos of this new flowering week 😁😎 The ladies are very strong and pretty despite these hot temperatures but I am very confident with the plants. It doesn't smell so much for the moment.

Day 27 from seed: Wow these ladies like life it seems. Some very good growth this week and the switch to Mega Crop has started well so far. The Paler girl is starting to darken a little more now so let's see how we go. As mentioned in the video , I have been able to top them this week so the training can slowly begin . The only thing I need to sort now it the watering regime for the Los. They are doing good with the MC being used too. I am dialing them all in this week to see how green and healthy we can get them. I am looking forward to their smoke as these have been a strain I grew as a photo period a while back. Love these fast buds girls.

Added 1 tablespoon of baking soda per gallon to watering and we are back to 6.5 24 hours later and holding, Pottasium becomes much harder to uptake with low ph and it was starting to cause yellowing and minor dark spots common from ph potassium deficiency, more understanding I gain of ph and its role to each individual nutrient, I'm going to raise to 7.0. Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a family of powerful antioxidants that fight the effects of aging and oxidative stress. To date, more than 635 different anthocyanins have been identified. What is the color of anthocyanins, and what does this tell us about where we can find them? The definition of anthocyanins is “blue, violet, or red flavonoid pigments found in plants.” In regard to anthocyanin’s structure, anthocyanins are water-soluble, glycoside pigments that can vary in color depending on their specific pH. The exact type of anthocyanin that a fruit or veggie contains is partially what determines how deeply red, purple, violet, blue or even orange it will be. This is one reason why the same food, such as eggplants or onions, can come in many different shades. Here’s the cool thing about most antioxidants: Not only do they benefit you when you eat them, but they also benefit the plants that contain them too. Plants produce phytochemicals like anthocyanin as a protective mechanism; phytochemicals help build plants’ resistance and protect them from being destroyed. For example, anthocyanin can offer a plant protection from being eaten by predators (like bugs, birds or rodents) and from environmental stressors like ultraviolet light, cold temperatures and drought. What do anthocyanins do inside the body once we consume them? We still have a lot to learn to about the exact bioactivity, uptake, absorption and roles of phytonutrients, including anthocyanin. We do know that anthocyanins seem to play a role in fighting free radical damage, which leads to aging and the formation of numerous diseases. (3) Beyond their capacity to fight free radicals/oxidative stress, anthocyanins have many other effects when it comes to protecting cells, tissues and vital organs that we’re still uncovering. For example, research suggests that anthocyanins have positive effects on gut health when they interact with microflora, which can help decrease inflammatory markers associated with many chronic diseases, plus they can support hormonal balance. What are the health benefits of anthocyanins? Some of the conditions that research suggests anthocyanins may help prevent include: Cardiovascular disease and risk factors, such as high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries Cancer Impaired immune function Diabates Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia Symptoms of poor cognitive function, including poor memory and trouble concentrating Fatigue Poor recovery from exercise/physical activity Vision loss Obesity 1. Protection Against Cardiovascular/Heart Disease Overall, many studies have found that having just one to two(or ideally more) servings of anythocyanin-rich foods per day can protect you from problems from high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. While it’s great to have antioxidant-rich foods every day, even having them several times per week can improve your health. One finding from the Iowa Women’s Health Study, which included more than 34,000 postmenopausal women, found that women who consumed anthocyanin-rich strawberries and blueberries once per week or more experienced significant reductions in risk of death from heart disease/coronary artery disease. (4) Another large body of research from the Nurses’ Health Study I and II, which followed over 46,000 women from and 23,000 men for more than a decade, found evidence that the those with the highest intakes of anthocyanin (especially from blueberries and strawberries) had a significantly decreased risk for developing hypertension, myocardial infarction and/or having a heart attack compared to those with the lowest intake. (5) This was true even after controlling for other factors like exercise level, family history and BMI. Anthocyanin benefits for diabetes and pancreatic disorders have also been unearthed in recent years, and again the efficacy is attributed to the multiple, simultaneous biological effects these pigments cause in the body, including prevention of generation of free radicals, decreased lipid peroxidation, reduced pancreatic swelling, and decreased blood sugar concentrations in urine and blood serum. (6) 2. Improved Immune Function Anthocyanin bioflavonoids may provide protection from DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, plus they have anti-inflammatory effects and help boost production of cytokines that regulate the immune responses. They have also been shown to support hormonal balance by reducing estrogenic activity, help regulate enzyme production that aids nutrient absorption, and strengthen cell membranes by making them less permeable and fragile. (7) 3. Protection Against Cancer Research suggests that anthocyanin can decrease the risk of developing various types of cancer due to its antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. This has been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo research trials in humans and animals. Studies show that anthocyanins have the ability to naturally fight cancer by blocking cell proliferation and inhibiting tumor formation by interfering with the process of carcinogenesis. One way anthocyanins inhibit tumorigenesis by blocking activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. (8) Anthocyanin - Dr. Axe 4. Improved Cognitive Function Studies have found that diets high in antioxidants like anthocyanin lead to a reversal in certain age-related deficits that affect neural and behavioral parameters, including memory and motor functions. Anthocyanins have been credited with protecting memory, coordination and neural function in older populations. One study out of Korea found that administration of isolated anthocyanins from purple sweet potato enhanced cognitive performance and inhibited lipid peroxidation in brain tissues in mice. (9) 5. Enhanced Exercise Performance and Recovery Antioxidants seem to improve physical performance by lowering exhaustion and the negative effects of excessive oxygen and radical accumulation during physical activities. In one double-blinded clinical trial that involved 54 female and male athletes, when one group was given 100 milligrams of anthocyanin pills per day for six weeks, the participants in that group were found to experience a significant improvement in their VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption) compared to the second group that received 100 milligrams of placebo pills daily. (10) Some studies have also found that fruit juices that contain anthocyanins, such as 100 percent tart cherry and blueberry juices, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that wind up positively influencing muscle damage following exercise and the ability to properly recover. (11) There’s even evidence from animal studies that anthocyanins consumed as part of a high-fat diet can help inhibit both body weight and adipose tissue increases. (12) 6. Enhanced Vision and Eye Health Anthocyanin has been shown to help enhance night vision and overall vision by protecting the eyes from free radical damage. One study found that oral intake of anthocyanosides from black currants resulted in significantly improved night vision in adults. Research suggests that the enhancement of rhodopsin regeneration and protection against inflammation are at least two mechanisms by which anthocyanins improve sight and protect the eyes. (13)

Tangerine dream auto from Weed Seed Express grew really well. I had some ph issues in flowering with trying to keep up with her diet. Is a great smelling flower. Should have a strong couch lock effect. I grew it a about a week longer then I should. I am totally OK with that as well. Thank you Viparspectra, and Weed Seed Express. 🌱🤜🤛🌱 There is a harvest video on my YouTube channel as well from a in hand perspective. Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing everyone 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

DAY 56 SINCE FLIP:These girls are really trying to impress now they are so close the finish line. Theyballnhave their own unique look and smell and will be a very welcome addition to the stash box. Wedding cake is an top buddingnbeasty of a lady with some sweet , biscuit smelling and looking trichromes covering her swelling buds. She has burst open with a so many new pistils in the last 2 days that have given her main canopy a great appeal now. Each main has doubled in girth due to this and I think at least another full week for her is in order. Black Ghost O.g has pushed and pushed to get herself noticed with success. Her few buds at the surface are sweet ish smelling with a hint of a spice too. The lower parts are way too light starved to have been developed well but this was due to their poor start. Still pushing trichromes onto.the covered surfaces. She sont yield high but her smoke will.make up for it I feel. Gorilla Glue #4 is my secret favourite. She is so dusty withbtrichs and looks dangerous up close. She is clumped together from her needing so much support and I keep finding random arms on the lower portion of the plant that need bringing up again. She feels so tacky to touch and has a potent sweetness mixed with a spicey tang. I think she will be coming out any day now. Be well folks
