Hi

Week 18, and my buds are on a growth spree – they're growing and growing, reaching for the stars! But here's the funny part – I can actually smell them now when I open the tent. It's like a fragrant leafy surprise every time I peek inside. As I watch my buds plump up and expand, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. It's like witnessing a tiny leafy miracle unfold before my eyes. Here's to Week 18 – a week of growth, fragrance, and the pure joy of watching nature at its best. Cheers to my amazing garden – may it continue to bloom and delight in the weeks to come! 🌿🌼

The long-awaited cycle of one of my favorite strains, which I sometimes grow again, is coming to an end. This interesting and unique terpene profile drives you crazy time after time; it's quite a powerful plant that can quickly calm and soothe you. Incredibly beautiful in the final stages of flowering, it changes color to a truly beautiful hue, and the leaves become wildly colorful. Be prepared for your carbon filter to be unable to contain its scent; it's very strong and fragrant. Stone flowers await us, and we'll see.

What up Fam. Weekly update on these Orange beauties. They got a major defoliation this week, they needed it for sure as they're not the biggest so it'll allow the lower flower sites to mature better. All in all Happy Growing.

-En primer lugar dar las gracias a zambeza por creer en mi en todo momento,y por darme a conocer esta gran pagina y familia, espero que sea para largo esta colaboración. •Hemos germinado 9 semillas, 3 de cada raza, lemon , power plant xl, northern light xl, y que pasadas 48h fueron colocadas en maceteros pequeños, los cuales iluminaremos con un bajo consumo las primeras semanas. •Esperemos que este seguimiento sea más completo y más extenso que el anterior , (que lo edite todo en una noche,aún que me llevase casi 4 meses el jodido proyecto).

Impressed with this plant. Only grew it under a cheap LED and it did really well. Harvested ~92G of prime bud plus an ounce of frosty trim which will be made into bubble hash. Will be interesting to see how much more it would yield under better lights. Nugs are dense, frosty and the hit from this strain is hard. Night time smoke. Will grow again. EDIT: As it cured, this just got better and better. Best weed I have grown, even better than the Wedding Gelato, which was incredible. Popped another seed straight away. Update after 12 days curing (See video): Gorilla gonna knock you out, son! Wow! This aint no friendly Disney Gorilla. This is a Dominant male Silverback with zero respect! These buds are dense and sticky after 12 days with a 62% humidipack in a Mason burping daily for the first week. Will def grow this again. Hardest hitting and as smooth as anything I've ever grown, too. Damn!

After the repotting at the end of week 4, I watered my plants for a couple of days only using water (day 31 - 34). On day 34 I added some small LST cords, and watered. On day 35 I switched my lighting schedule from veg. to flowering, and watered. On day 36 I watered with nutrients. On day 37 I watered. On day 38 I defoliated and watered with nutrients. (The amount of nutrition used this week is combined at the top for the 3 plants.) During defoliation, I cut the inside looking leaves, and the big overhanging sugar leaves. Here and there I also cut some new growth on the inside of the canopy because it wasn't getting enough light. I noticed a very small amount of leaves which was yellowing on the bottom of the plant and cut them aswell. These we're from when the plant was just growing. All in all, things are looking good. Still searching for a solution for the trellis, because the things I came up with weren't cutting it. Probably going to fix one from PVC-piping. See ya!

Did some high stress training on the painkiller and honey cream maybe it was a bit late for that but I wanted to really make sure that they have a the space they need. Autumn is here and it did start with a lot of rain, I'm a little worried about mold if it's raining non stop. The temperatures dropped down to 10c° in the night and humidity is high, so fingers crossed that no mold will appear. The honey cream finally started to flower properly but she's still around 3 weeks behind the other two strains. The painkiller is getting closer to the finish line, she still has around 2/3weeks to go though. All plants received a lot of thining out removed some branches and leaves, lolipopping style hope this help increase the airflow and prevent mold. Pictures made while it raining.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Another week and a half later I believe. The tentacles have started to take more of the baby nuggetito form. Slowly you can see the flowers starting to make little bud-nuggets. Same 12/12 lights, 3 day water cycle, LST, and removing any extremely small looking buds on the lowest nodes branches. The fan leaf stems have gone a little purple in colour, and the trichomes are starting to show up (Wazzzaaaaa). I presume the purple because of the drop in general temperature because of winter.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

We’re officially in the first week of flowering, and the stretch has already started! 🌿 The plant without LST has shot up quickly, growing tall and strong. However, I noticed a few rusty spots on the leaves, which might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. To help, I’ve slightly increased the CalMag and Bloom nutrients for that plant. 🌱 Other than that, everything seems to be going well, and I’m happy with the overall progress. It’s exciting to see them enter this new phase, and I can’t wait to see how the buds begin to form! 😁✨

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

Esta semana seguí con los mismos abonos subí un poco las bases hasta llegar a 1,8 de EC.al final de la semana riego solo con sensisym. Tienen buen color parece estar todo bien.

🌱 Flowering Update – Full Week 5 Breakdown → Entering Week 6 Week 5 was focused on entering full bulking mode with a controlled increase in volume and EC, followed by a deliberate pause to restore root oxygenation after several heavy feeds. 💧 Irrigation & Nutrition – Week 5 (Exact Recipes) Start of Week 5 – 7/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 109 ml • Top·Max: 22–23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 28 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ First full-volume bulking feed. Strong uptake and no lockout signs. Mid Week 5 – 9/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 133 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ Bio·Bloom increased to push flower mass. Plants responded with visible calyx stacking. End of Week 5 – PK Introduction – 11/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.640 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6 ml • Bio·Bloom: 115 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml • PK 13/14: 6 ml ➡️ Controlled PK introduction. EC peaked safely. Minor tip burn confirmed we were at the productive upper limit. Recovery Feed – 13/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.370 mS · pH: 6.2 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 25 ml • Bio·Grow: 5 ml • Bio·Bloom: 105 ml • Top·Max: 22 ml • Bio·Heaven: 20 ml • Bud Candy: 36 ml • Atazyme: 22 ml ➡️ Intentional reduction to let the substrate breathe after multiple heavy irrigations. 🌡️ Environmental Data (Week 5 Averages) • Day: 24–25 °C • Night: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 50–55 % • VPD: ~1.0–1.3 kPa • PPFD: ~880–920 µmol/m²/s • DLI: ~39–40 mol/day Stable conditions allowed efficient nutrient uptake without excess transpiration. 🧠 Plant Response • Strong structure supporting increasing flower weight • Active bulking phase (buds still stacking) • Minor tip burn = intentional high-performance feeding • Color differences consistent with F1 phenotype variability, not deficiencies 🔜 Focus for Week 6 • Resume irrigation only when pots are clearly light • Next feed: flowering base without PK • Following feed: single, targeted PK 35/60 application • Maintain PPFD below 920 (no CO₂ this cycle) • Preserve night temperature differential to enhance density and color expression Week 5 set the foundation for final mass. Week 6 is about precision finishing, not pushing numbers.

Cruisin down the highway gotta eat a lot of peaches Ready steady, 2 weeks left to fatten up those buds Gonna give them one last magsulphur feed and then its only water till harvest Keepin it simple yo

Day 36 Stretching has slowed but not stopped. 28-29” today. Feeding 3L per plant now. The orange haze seems to be flawless, the other 2 needing a little extra calmag and N, but early flower can be expected. Humidity holding at around 50-55% little higher than I want but plenty of air blowing inside and strong extraction, so no problem. Would like to see the bud sites fill out over the next few weeks, before swelling. White pistils everywhere very exciting to see these blossom. Lovely mild fruity smell already from the tent. Day 38. Heavy feed on day 37 including big bud added to the nutrients, nute burn on one off the plants which I think I’m gonna flush soon, and maybe a slight N deficiency and calmag still on the other 2. Stretching looks to have stopped, Bud sites filling out nicely now Day 41 Left the pots 24 hours too long and the extra thirsty girls caught me out with the soil being drier than the desert and leafs soft and droopy as a result. With a slow heavy feed following this, they are back to their healthy self’s overnight. Lesson learnt - check daily. Drinking 3L every 1.5-2 days now.

This week I decided to start feeding her some nutes. She went through some serious lollipopping aswell 😳..😆!! So she basically received a bloom booster ( 1: 12:12 ), I also added some potassium booster ( 0:0:35 ). I think she loves her nutes alot! She gave me a good stretch and formed much more bud sites which has me all excited 😊..
