Hope I can hold out for a couple of more weeks, should have had a second trellis to support the gorilla girls as I as I wasn't expecting the lower flowers to get so big. Thing are leaning everywhere. I am grateful that its quite dry where I am and don't have to worry about mold too much. I do have a bit of wind burn as you can see in some of the pics but very hardy plants overall.

Day 99 Plant 2 has been harvested. She was plump! After trimming the fan leaves wet, she came in at a little over 900g wet. She has been drying for 3 days now. The smell is great, can't wait to try her. Plant 3 is still going strong. I will do a last light feed next watering to make sure the swell goes smoothly. Stunty is getting close to the finish line. Trichomes are about 1% amber, 10% clear and the rest cloudy. She has swollen a lot, and I needed to support her a bit. I think I will harvest her in 3-4 days from now. Looks like she is gonna a pretty big girl too.

Week 5 done and dusted and these girls have started their flowering stage, stoked! This week has been a bit slow growing for them unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't been tending to them as much as I would have liked. I started the week with an over water and then neglected them for a few days and and they dried right out. They were not looking happy. I then top dressed the girls with Herbi's all natural nutrients, 2.5 tablespoons of bloom and 2.5 of Veg mixed in with 5 tablespoons of Worm castings for each girl and i got back to regular watering. They've sprung back up to life but I can't help but think it's another bit of stunt they didn't need. This Gorilla Cookies girl also got another light defoliation yesterday to let the light penetrate through to all the budsites. She's looking happy enough. Hope you all had a good week and thanks for checking in ๐Ÿ™

06/17/2020 I'am not sure how she will produce,but the smell is intoxicating! Wow that's all I can say. Better than any gg I've smelled thank you Fast Buds! In fact I love it so much I have decided to selectively pollinate some buds with Red Sky male , that should make for some freaky flavor combos! I think she is stretching and filling out she looks happy! I do have powdery mildew on the stem need to clean it up oh yeah did I tell you I love the smell! Lol

On day 1 the plants are looking good. I confirmed that my one cola was seeded, so I removed all visible seed pods. After this run I will do a deep cleaning to make sure there is no pollen in my grow box. The rest of my plant colas seem fine... I changed out my reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. I also dimmed my light to 75% to mimic spring conditions. On day 2 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir down to 6.1. The plants are looking great besides a few fox tails from too much light. On day 3 the PH in the reservoir is 6.2. On day 4 I diluted my reservoir with plain water to lower the ppm down to 400 ppm, and I adjusted PH to 6.2 . The buds are ripening for sure and smell great! I haven't gotten any autumn colors yet even though I have dimmed my grow light and lowered my night time temps. I hope by 8 weeks the plants will have some more purple tones but if not I'm good with the flower quality thus far :). The breeder says 7-8 weeks so I'm hoping I am close to the finish line. I will continue to monitor the trichomes for ripeness. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.0. I harvested my seeded cola on Pheno #1 as it had stopped growing/ripening and would be a good tester ;) On day 6 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. On day 7 the PH is 6.0 50 % pistils have turned amber so I believe I have entered my harvest window and expect to flush and harvest soon:) very excited!

10/06/2018 Week 3 flowering and she is developing very nicely, a couple of tops poking through scrog. Drain and fill reservoir, roots are huge it will be interesting to see how many liters it will take to bring up to full. 10/08/2018 Peaked at the roots, and they are massive i fear that she will be limited in root space, 6 liters to top reservoir starting out I needed 9 liters, so I guess roots take up 3liters worth of space! Time to keep close eye on water level, as feeding frenzy is about to commence.๐Ÿ˜€, and definitely getting her stretch on!,so if i get the Captains Cake taste, I be happy,cause she definitely got some stretch i wanted. 10/11/2018 Stripped lower branches under the scrog, good growth bud sights getting denser, posting before and after pictures of week 3 defoiliating.

Week 18 Daylight 12h40 - โ˜€๏ธ7h40/20h20๐ŸŒ™ ๐ŸŒˆWeather changed a lot during this 2 week, alternating sun and rain with medium temperature: low in the morning 8ยฐC and 22/24ยฐC the afternoon. Cold wind: Autumn is coming soon! ๐Ÿƒ This is the middle of the flowering cycle for 2 plants and the beginning for the others; and itโ€™s harder than I imagined. Interminable war against pests: caterpillars and leafminer flies (+ guest :aphids). However the environment is clean, there is some sticky traps, ventilation and preventives treatments (Neem Oil, Garlic/Laurel) but infestation are a recurring problem ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. Majors reasons of the proliferation are the hot temperatures in greenhouse, the quasi inexistants natural predators, humidity, plants proximity. September is the reproduction period of the cabbage looper: a butterfly which lays eggs on plants giving some hungry caterpillars. Some others pests are attracted by the nitrogen added in soil (batguano) I did a serious defoliation, continue to check the plants morning and night to catch intruders, sprayed regularly with Neem oil. For the moment the flowering continues. -Brake Pad Breath: plant has definitely changed of physiognomy, branches are covered by a lots of resinous flowers with a pretty good smell. Indica dominance. Around 3 or 4 weeks till the harvest. It will be long: the plant is a victim of pests and caterpillars and lots of leaves are damaged. -Flash Back#2: elegant plant, pretty good flowering since 3 weeks. Globally healthy despite of the pests aggression. Sativa dominance with long internodes distance and a vigorous stretch. -GMO x Zombie Kush: same difficulties against predators, late flowering, just initiated the flowering process but in a good way. -Royal Moby: the tallest one; around 170cm, not really adapted to dimensions of the growing space and not discrete. Plants was really shocked during the first wave of pests and after the sunburn. Late flowering, Sativa. ๐Ÿ’ฆWatering : 2L/plants/48h -grower Master Floraison + Enyme -grower Master Floraison + pk 13/14 -grower Master Floraison + Cal/Mag

September 9th, 86 days post flip Clones: No major updates this week, plants continue to grow well. Leaves are starting to drop heavy at this point, calyxes are stacking the way a sativa should, stigmas are turning brown as new ones are forming. Smells from last week continue to intensify. This weekend I plan on giving them a nice microbial tea too help break down some of the mites I have a few weeks back. Parents: Growing very well, needs a topping again. God bless!

Blue Dream starting to get some frost to her. Looking like all the holy comm phenos are gonna be a long flower time judging by the slight difference in bud sizes between the blue dream and the holy comms. Going to give them a top dress and a recharge with a few things come the end of the week. Until then just straight butt chuggin out the acinfinity self watering bases.

UPDATE mid week spoted smnth on the soil that turned out to be a polinator. When inspected the plant found them all over. Especialy in the lower btanches. But on mostly all of branches, they are blendong in with lower buds very tight making them hard to clear. I belive there still some left. And most probably they are going to keem emerging. 3rd week of flowering - looks good. Hairy and even a bit frosty already. I was wrong about water consumprion. Although I managed to put 2 liters at a time and the fabric pot held it, it was too much, the soil was wet for around 4 days. And the humidity in my 50 by 50 cm 1 meter high tent was 99%. So wattering back to 1 liter each second day, just right. Starting to think that maybe in couple of weeks I will need to remove some fan leaves as it realy is quite bushy and when buds will start to swell and get dencier I will need to addres humidity concearns

Day 55 from seedling!. After working out my times ect , it seems I have miscalculated by a little which explains a lot of the development and where I thought I was at with these ladies. The Los girl has just got on with it and didnt need any changes to anything at all during the grow so is right on time and development. Not having to hit the right time to change feeds has been an easy grow for the Los plants. The size of them is in general, slightly smaller with less thick branches. They have developed nicely but not as many actual budsites as their coco/mc counterparts in smaller pots. It will all be down to taste and potency it seems as so far MC is out front on this race. I have now switched them to the shogun for a week to encourage oils and final burst of growth if I can . In photoperiods, I have had a little success this way but withbautos it's all a new experience. Rhis strainnis a beauty to behold and grows amazingly well . Perfect for a first growers confidence as they are also very forgiving. The colours as they grow are so unique too. they look artificial compared to the strains I have grown before. She smells amazing too. so fruit sweet it makes me dribble. Frosting is everywhere too, so this next week should have them oozing some oils. well done on this super fast strain Fast Buds.

Week 11 โ€“ Day 79 (Flower Day 51) ๐Ÿ”„ General Update Unfortunately, I ran into a nutrient lockout earlier this week โ€“ some of you may have seen it in the comments. ๐Ÿ“‰ The drain pH just wonโ€™t go up anymore, even after multiple flushes with light nutrient solution. Iโ€™m now down to 50% of the feeding schedule and reduced light intensity to around 600 PPFD to keep stress levels low. โ„๏ธ White Widow โ€“ Day 51 of Flower Sheโ€™s clearly showing signs of the lockout now โš ๏ธ Still, the buds continue to swell visibly, which is honestly a nice surprise! It seems like sheโ€™ll make it to harvest without major damage. Flushing only from now on โ€“ harvest is planned for next week. โš ๏ธ Drain pH is stuck at 5.6 โ€“ completely off, but canโ€™t be fixed anymore at this point.

5/30/2023 Week 8- Day 1 of Flower (Day 117 overall) So two of the buds in the back fell over, it was definitely because they are getting heavy, I had to pick them up and tuck them in to the net to help support them they were so covered in Resin that I had to use Rubbing alcohol to clean my hand was so super sticky from touching the bud will have to use gloves from now on if I need to touch the buds. Other than that I sat back and got to watch the ladies grow. 5/31/2023 Week 8- Day 2 of Flower (Day 118 overall) Just watched them grow today.. :-) 6/1/2023 Week 8- Day 3 of Flower (Day 119 overall) I noticed on two of the bigger Fan leaves small signs of Calcium Deficiency so I fixed my Chart to up the Cal mag from .5 to .75 for the water change on Saturday. Other than that I let them keep growing on Auto Pilot, frost is everywhere including all the way ont the Big fan leaves this strain is super Frosty... 6/2/2023 Week 8- Day 4 of Flower (Day 120 overall) Auto Pilot engaged today.. Growers Hands stayed away just looked and apricated the beautiful buds that are forming. Tomorrow Water Change day! 6/3/2023 Week 8- Day 5 of Flower (Day 121 overall) There were a couple of sucker buds right up front today so of course I had to get rid of them. Other than that Water Change Day.. Drained and reset the system. Since I am taking this to 10 weeks Week 7 and Week 8 Nutes repeat. I took a couple of shots looking up for those that like stem action. I added 36 gallons Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 166Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 71.2 Tent Temp= 76 6/3/2023 Week 8- Day 6 of Flower (Day 122 overall) Auto Pilot.. I did nothing but look in and enjoy the beautiful ladies. 6/4/2023 Week 8- Day 7 of Flower (Day 123 overall) Auto Pilot Day 2.. Just watched them be beautiful.. I did want to get a picture of where they stems meet to make an arch I thought it looked really cool and would be a fun pic. I also wanted to focus on the color differences between the two. I am amazed between this lightside/darkside, yen/yang, thing going on in the tent.. Plant #2 is decidedly bright green, like more light with hints of yellow throughout, and plant #3 leaves are getting darker and it has hints of purple coming in throughout the buds. It really is an amazing and fun contrast especially with the name Yoda Soda to have a type of light side/ dark side theme going on with the Two plants.
