DECIDING WHEN TO HARVEST IS HARD. ASKING FOR ADVICE AND POSTING PICS..YOU HAVE TO MONITOR THE TRICHOMES EVERY DAY AND THE HAIRS, SMELL, MAYBE, SOMETIMES, DEPENDS ON THE STRAIN, THE GENES WHICH DOESNT HELP AS I DONT HAVE A GENE DECODER. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTED LUPE, I LOOK AND HAVE TO CONSTANTLY RE FOCUS MY EYES AND SOMETIMES I JUST STARE THROUGH IT AND DAY DREAM...ITS INSAIN. ITS AN EXPERIENCE AND TIME THING. I TRY TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND MUCH LIKE A TELESCOPE, SORT OF LOOK FROM A PERIPHERAL PERSPECTIVE. I GOT MY WIFI ENDOSCOPE PICTURE TAKER MICROSCOPE FOR 11 BUCKS ON AMAZON. I ALWAYS BUY THE CHEAP ONE, GET PISSED OFF AND END UP BUYING THE GOOD ONE. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE I GOT DOES WORK WELL. IT HAS A LEARNING CURVE AS WELL. GROWING WEED INDOORS IS ADDICTIVE. THE ONE RULE I HAVE TO GET DOWN IS SORT OF A SCARFACE REMAKE I THOUT OF, "DONT GET HIGH ON YOUR OWN SUPPLY, AT LEAST UNTIL THE SHIT IS DRY" OR "UNTIL THE FUCKING SHIT IS DRY" SO, I PRETTY MUCH HAVE SHIT WRAPPED UP OVER AT MY PLACE. I MIGHT JUST HARVEST THESE BUDS, FIND SOME CHICK WHOS GOT HER SHIT HALF TOGETHER, PAY OFF THE TRAILER, START THE BBQ AND KICK BACK AND SMOKE SOME NON GMO DANK FROM THE DANK JAR! Word. I WATERED 2 DAYS AGO TILL RUN OFF WITH MY 6 PH WELL WATER ONLY. THERE ARE ANLY A FEW AMBER TRICHOMES ALL TOGETHER. LAST TIME I BASED THE HARVEST ON AMER TTRICHES THAT NEVER REALLY SHOWED AND BURNT THE TURPS OUT . THIS STUFF IS ALMOST 99% MILKY WHIT AND THE SMELL IS GREAT/ SO IM FIGURING IF I HARVESTED TODAY, I WOULD STILL HAVE GOOD PRODUCT IF DRY AND CURE ARE DONE PROPERLY. THESE ARE MY FIRST BIG SOLID BUDS UNDER MY FIRST DECENT LIGHT AND NOW IM AT THE LAST FEW THINGS I COULD DO TO RUIN THE WHOLE THING. SO IM GIVING IT A 2 WEEK WINDOW, ONLY WATER NO NUTES " I THINK THATS A FLUSH" ILL CHECK FOR AMBER BUT AUTOFLOWERS CAN NOT BE COUNTED ON TO ACT RIGHT. I PLAN TO HARVEST IN THE NEXT 14 DAYS SOMETIME AND KEEP MY TERPS AND CURLED UP BROWN HAIRS ETC.. I THINK CANT REALLY ASK AS I DONT THINK ANYONE COULD LOOK THROUGH MY TENT AND DECIDE. IF YOU CAN, PLZ LET ME KNOW AND ILL POST DETAILED VIDEO, ACTUALLY ILL DO THAT VERY THING ON THIS SUNDAYS UPDATE. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL SEE.

Day 64 - I've been patiently waiting for the time to come, and it's finally here! Changed the lights over to 12/12 to send the tent into flower. Current light settings R99 W99 B50 as suggested by California Lightworks. I did a full reservoir change - switching over to bloom nutes. I also added some Si28 and P31 Microbes to the reservoir to test out this new product that I was fortunate enough to receive samples of. I've seen the results of others with crazy booming root growth.... Let's see what happens! Day 65 - I swear, it's like she's been waiting for me to flip the light cycle. I kicked one plant out of the tent so now there's even more room for improved air circulation and light distribution. This plant is a serious beast! Day 67/ Day 3 of Flower - Last massive round of defoliation before I sit back and let her do her thang. ✌️

Gorilla cookies is extremely easy to grow, it does good all on its own, minimal trimming or training. I'd definitely recommend it as a first grow.

How's it growing farmers? She finally came through this week, showing me some of her potential. we finally have stinky flowers and resin. if you grow this strain in DWC and know what you are doing, top it at the fifth node, you will thank me. There's just too much foliage, I tried very hard with lollipopping and daily defoliations, yet there's still so much growth. if your aim is phat colas, this strain can deliver for sure, but you gotta top it. That said, im sure im still going to get very pretty and very sticky flowers, I predict to harvest around day 90, this is day 63. We have a whole month to go, plenty of time for her to get even frostier and fatter. I also added another trellis late this week, in futile attempt to expose more flower sites and reduce the chance of mold. doing this also reduces the overall rh in the tent, which im having some issues with right now. I started feeding green sensation this week, and kept my EC close to 1.6, this turned out to be a mistake, overnight she brought that 1.6 down to 1 and made the Ph skyrocket, She clearly needed more so I increased the dose to 2 EC later in the week, this is on the high end for me personally, especially for autoflowers, lets see how she responds to it next week. I stopped my Hypochloric acid too, Green sensation has enzymes in it, and i'm not sure how chlorine acts with it, it seemed to make my water cloudy, if anyone knows why, let me know, for now its cold enough to run sterile without chlorine...

Day 43 veg. These two girls are finally starting to get their feet planted and growing. I have been a little worried that having to hold the. back as I did the room upgrade and waiting for their NFT set up. C Banana has grown a lot of new growth Thisbweek and been stretching upward . I have been softening their stems and bending in the same place to encourage a nice thick repair and knuckle. I am planning to quadline them out and maybe a few 6-lined . The monster has been going well too. she is quite bushy now so hopefully will be a many headed beasty. The room is all set for the move to their NFT know so hopefully be in tomorrow and flipped in about 2 weeks time all being well.

Watered after 7 days, was looking a bit limp so may add a small water mid week. LST on main stem to expose other bud sites to light. Increase nutes to 340PPM, will be last vege nutes as moving onto flowering nutes next week. Smell is nice, like a slight warm cheddar smell. Light switched onto bloom mode. This one looks to have a more sativa structure, leaning more to it White Widow genetics, have another of the same strain and presents more of the indica, short, stocky, bushy and smell like blueberries. Even has the slight manure smell of when you first sniff an actual blueberry.

22 days since my little girl sprouted from the seed🌱 The third week of growth of my Break-up Cake Auto πŸ₯§πŸ’š Nutrients: Plagron and Biobizz πŸ’“πŸ’š: This week I am applying the classic root stimulator Plagron Power Roots: Plagron Roots root stimulator is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. It contains 7.2% humic acids, 3% kelp (a beneficial extract of brown seaweed), 3% metabolites and 0.3% thiamine (vitamin B). It acts not only on the roots, but also on the entire plant. It increases the plant's defenses and is absorbed very quickly. πŸƒπŸƒ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio Grow is a 100% organic, but also vegan-friendly fertilizer with BIO certification. Designed for the growth phase. Supports soil microorganisms and is ideal for use in all types of soil substrates and coco πŸ’©πŸ’š ------------------------------------------ Plagron Vita Race (Phyt-Amin) - is an organic foliar nutrient rich in iron that improves growth, photosynthesis and plant resistance. It is applied as a spray on the leaves during the growth and early flowering phase πŸ’©πŸŒ± ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag is a 100% organic, but also vegan-friendly fertilizer with BIO certification. Biobizz Calmag was designed for professional growers and home growers who need an extra dose of calcium and magnesium. It contains the addition of humic acid πŸ’©β˜˜οΈ- I only apply it once a week. ------------------------------------------------------- Biobizz Bio pH-/ Biobizz Bio pH+ is a 100% natural and vegan-friendly pH regulator. Suitable for all types of substrates and crop types. For use in growth and flowering. πŸ’©πŸ‹πŸŒ± ------------------------------------------------------- PRO-MIX CONNECT MYCORRHIZAL POWDER - in the substrate Generally: Break-up Cake Auto πŸ₯§πŸ’š The plant is already in pre-flowering 🌺, but flowering has not yet begun, so this week I am still giving nutrients for vegetative growth. However, this week - the third week - in most cases it does LST and defoliation twice πŸƒ 🌿 I think the plant is slower because it is growing poorly, anyway it was able to cope and in the end it is a strong, sturdy and beautiful plant, even if it is different. I am very proud of it πŸ’šπŸ’ͺπŸ‘ I use the new PH and EC meter Aqua Master Tools P110 PRO, the measurement is fast and accurate. So far I manage to keep the PH and EC as they should be. I use Biobizz Bio +/- for correction. These are excellent products. I think that the plants definitely have a very good effect of spraying with Vita-Race and the excellent PRO-MIX Connect Mycorrhizal powder for root support. All the girls have been very strong and stable since they were little πŸ’š Training: As I mentioned above, I did the first LST and defoliation, the plants usually quickly re-leaf, other branches also grow quickly. So in this third week I do two defoliations and two LSTs πŸƒπŸŒΏ This plant is a little different, but I still did a very good LST and the plant is now making two main buds 🌺 The girls are growing in a tent: Mammoth Pro+ 80, with reinforced reflective Mylar 600D foil Lighting: Mars Hydro TS1000, this light is sufficient for lighting in my growing space. The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up. Mars Hydro TS1000 Quantum Board πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘ Power: 148W Dimensions: 90 x 90 cm Dimensions: 360 x 330 x 34 mm Chip brand: Epistar Thanks for the likes See you soon 😍😻

Okay so after 48 hours instead of 24 of darkness. These ladies were begging to be chopped with how much more intense the smell got. Cheesy , sweet , skunky , and a floral incense kind of scent. Made lots of finger hash just getting them off the plants , already smoked. I’m about 75% done with chopping all the major tops. This time I decided to cut off the branches and dry on an eight tier 24” diameter rack off Amazon. All 8 tiers are full with gorgeous top colas. I’m drooling. Can’t believe just how much bud this is turning out to be. They are dense , and oozing. Not going to get a wet weight because this is just too much. But holding the rack it’s like 20 lbs or more. My scales don’t go that high. Lol. Gotta say it, I think my buds look 10 times better than the advertisement photos g13 lab’s mozzarella. My 2 cents and honest opinion. Please do give me your opinions. I know I didn’t show the full grow because life gets busy. My next grow I want to control the humidity and heat levels a bit better. Or just humidity and run co2 to withstand higher temps. I have every angle of the grow under my tips now. It feels amazing to have this kind of harvest after the dedication these plants received. I’m Convinced…. rdwc with a water chiller , is by far the best way to do hydro. When it’s dry I’ll add the final weights. My nutrient reg is this. Jacks 321 , botanic are cal mag plus, hydroguard,PK booster is flower fuel(purple can off Amazon) and unsulfured molasses. If you don’t have an ability to keep water at 70 degrees then only use jacks hydroguard and cal mag. You’ll still do well but that molasses , that sauce is the boss.

WEEK 2: The plants are now in the second week of the growth phase and appear very vital. Plant #3 has recovered significantly and appears very vital. Plant #1 is not quite as lush green, but at the same time it is the least developed. I think it will make up for the slight nutrient deficit. I repotted the plants in 6L pots and added 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer). I let the soil develop for 14 days beforehand. Clear mycelia have formed and the soil has a very pleasant forest floor smell. - Light Power: 40% - Soil: BioBizz Light Mix + 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer) - Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules
