Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

March 17, Day 76: As written I collected the last three plants. At the moment I got a partial of 224 grams from the first three plants and I think of doubling with the last three. Among the latter is the plant with the largest bud which obviously becomes my favorite. This time I managed to take photographs of the plants before cutting them. With these last three plants I got the most productive plant, the one with the largest bud and the one with the longest bud 😉 For a final report on this strain: The Gorilla by RQS is an excellent strain for anyone who loves a high THC content and I particularly recommend it to growers who pass for the first time from photoiperiods to autoflowering. You will grow very large and very productive plants very similar to photoperiodic ones. This strain branches out a lot and must be defoliated and de-branched. You can grow it well with the SCROG technique, but if like me you have no space problems you can also use the Sea Of Green technique. In conclusion I want to thank all the growers who have followed this my first diary to which I have a happy growth! A big thanks also to GrowDiaries and to the whole team for having created the best social network dedicated to the world of growers 👏💪😉 March 24 Final Report: Hi growers, with this last post I'm going to close my first diary. First I have to say that I am very satisfied with the total harvest, from the last three plants I got 369 grams which added to the 224 of the previous harvest make a total of 593 grams. I started this diary with 8 Gorillas and 2 Cheese. 6 Gorillas completed their cycle in the same time frame, the 2 remaining gorillas showed a photoperiodic genetic predominance, one of them is in an advanced flowering phase while the last one after three months still shows only a few pistils. I'll probably kill her, and move on by putting new seeds in the soil. Unfortunately, where I live is illegal to grow marijuana, otherwise I would have simply moved outdoors, but I can't and must be ruthless. Regarding the two cheeses there is not much left at the end of their cycle and I started to give only water to one of the two plants. Good and happy growth to all! 😜

Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿💚 The day has finally come—our Auto Northern Dragon Fuel from Super Sativa Seed Club has been harvested! After an exciting journey, we’re thrilled to share the details of this incredible plant’s final stage. Let’s dive into the harvest report! 🌟 Harvest Details: Day 75: Harvest Day • Harvest Date: Day 75 • Harvest Method: Our beautiful Auto Northern Dragon Fuel was harvested yesterday. After weeks of careful nurturing, the time was right to bring in this amazing plant. 🌿🌼 • Preparation: Before hanging, we meticulously cleaned the plant, removing all leaves without trichomes to ensure a smooth drying process and to enhance the quality of the final product. 🌿✂️ Current Drying Process: • Method: The entire plant is now hanging upside down to dry. This method helps maintain moisture levels within the buds, allowing for a slower and more even drying process. 🌿🔄 • Environment: • Temperature: 18-22°C (65-72°F) • Humidity: 50-60% Maintaining these conditions is crucial for achieving a perfect dry and preserving the plant’s aromatic and flavorful profile. 🌡️💧 🌟 Plant and Bud Characteristics: Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: • Bud Structure: Dense and sticky, with an impressive trichome coverage. The buds are beautifully formed, showcasing the robust genetics of this strain. • Aroma: Even in the drying phase, the rich and potent aroma is unmistakable. Expect a delightful scent that hints at the powerful experience to come. • Trichomes: A thick layer of trichomes covers the buds, promising a potent final product with a great flavor profile. 🌿✨ 🌟 Care Tips: • Drying Process: Patience is key. Allowing the plant to dry slowly will enhance the final quality, preserving both flavor and potency. Ensure good airflow around the hanging plant to prevent mold and mildew. 🌬️💧 • Trimming: Once the drying process is complete (typically 10-14 days), it will be time to trim the buds. This is where we’ll shape the final product and get it ready for curing. ✂️🌿 • Curing: After trimming, curing the buds in jars for at least 2-4 weeks will further enhance the flavor and smoothness. This final step is essential for achieving the best possible smoking experience. 🍁 🌟 Genetics Spotlight: Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: • Characteristics: Known for its robust structure and dense buds, this strain has shown remarkable resilience and impressive bud development throughout the grow. The final product promises to be potent and flavorful, thanks to the thick trichome coverage and rich aroma. • Harvest Expectations: High-quality buds with a strong aroma and potent effects. The slow drying process will ensure the best possible preservation of cannabinoids and terpenes. 🌍🌿 Fun Fact: Did you know? 🌿✨ Drying the entire plant slowly helps retain more terpenes, which are responsible for the plant’s aroma and flavor. This method also helps preserve the potency and quality of the buds, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable experience. For all the in-depth action and detailed explanations, head over to my YouTube channel! 🎥✨ I’m sharing all the tips, tricks, and step-by-step guides to help you get the best results from your grow. This week’s harvest has been particularly exciting, and there’s so much more to explore and learn together! 👉 Join me on YouTube Link in my profile 👈 🌟 Conclusion: Harvesting Auto Northern Dragon Fuel at Day 75 has been a rewarding experience. With the plant now drying, we’re eagerly awaiting the final product. Stay tuned for updates on the drying, trimming, and curing process, and get ready for a high-quality harvest! Happy growing, and see you next time! 🌿💚✨ #SuperSativaSeedClub #HarvestReport #NorthernDragonFuel #PlantMagic #GardeningJoy #NatureLovers #PlantPower #InspireGrow #YouTubeJourney

Pretty quiet week this week. Got her switched to flushing mode and am just sitting back and watching the trichomes finish. Over the last 7-10 days have seen them for from 50/50 to 90/10 if not 95/5 (cloudy/clear) and should start seeing some reds in next day or so. Don't mind at all if she flushes longer than a week, good to get all the salts out and whatnot. Have noticed an even further deepening of the purple on the buds and sugar leaves. She's gonna be quite the harvest! Time to prqctic our patience....

So I only have 1.5 weeks until I harvest my girls. Ripening until 5 days before harvest then I will flush with 1/8th tsp of yucca powder p/gal. Senescence is taking place all over, but especially on the largest phenotype. Thinking of harvesting the most senesced one first and let the others go a few more days, we shall see! This is my first time growing, and damn I feel so lucky to have gotten this far! This is gonna be something I will do for the rest of my life Jah willing!

Top of the tent. Has a dimmer switch to help regulate temperature. I have it mounted at the top of the tent 55" from top of soil. If it was any lower it would overheat my tent. I also have a 6" inline fan with a 4" carbon filter running full tilt. I also have two 8" fresh air vents pulled out at bottom of tent. It's also reinforced with a wood frame so I can have a lot of negative pressure without collapsing the tent.

Start of week 6 now, Not sure if this is technically in the flowering stage yet, but def seeing more of the white white pistils. Accidentally overdid it a little on nutrients so had a good flush with some ph balanced water and all seems good, just 1 or 2 burn spots on a leaf here and there. Dialling it all back to keep it safe at the moment. I've had to bend the tallest plant over and am using my tent net to secure it for now. Included a few vids this time, so feel free to let me know if you spot any issues. Smell is now noticeable if I leave my grow tent open whilst watering, so glad I got a carbon filter. :D Also had to get a bit inventive to shift the LED lights up a bit as Im using a 160 CM tall tent. I am planning to bend most of the tops down to the net hight, so hopefully this will keep things from getting light burn as still have about 25 inches of space from the net to the LED its self. Watering is around 600 Ml per pot per 24 hrs just now. Edit: 04/09/18 Added 2 more pics, mostly on some of the lowest leafs, noticed some marks, thankfully just 1 or 2, so not widespread and could equally just be a bit of nutrient burn, but thought Id post to see if anyone notices something I dont.

Noticed some slight yellowing of the leaf tips around the first node so I held off from any more nutrients. Just fed her some distilled water. She seems to be doing better now. Removed the lower leaves and node also.

¡Ah, bueno! ¡Una nueva semanita! Empecé a agregar CalMag porque ya se notaba una pequeña carencia: las puntitas de las primeras hojas estaban secas y las nuevas empezaban a ponerse un poco amarillas en los bordes. También, en estos riegos, bajé un poco el pH agregando la solución con agua más ácida para regularlo. Así que calculo que ahora debe estar en un 6.4, que sigue siendo un buen rango.

🍬 Sweet Mandarine Skittles (Sweet Seeds) – Week 7 | Flowering Day 1 🌸 Here we go! 🚀 Yesterday I flipped her to bloom, so today is officially Day 1 of flowering. She’s growing in Sonnenerde (yes, real “sun soil” 🌞🌱) and has already stretched like crazy. Honestly, she smells phenomenal – a strong sweet citrus candy vibe in the air 🍊🍬. I’m a bit worried she might turn into a giant later on, but that’s part of the fun 😅. I didn’t catch the moment right after transplanting to see how she reacted, but hey – it’s all part of the experiment. Luckily I’ve got a few more seeds of her in the stash, so we’ll see what this one can teach me 🌿. Stick around, follow along, and let’s see how big this Sweet Mandarine Skittles rainbow will shine 🌈🔥. --- 🍬 Sweet Mandarine Skittles (Sweet Seeds) – Woche 7 | Blütetag 1 🌸 Jetzt geht’s los! 🚀 Gestern habe ich auf Blüte umgestellt, also ist heute offiziell Tag 1 der Blüte. Sie wächst in Sonnenerde 🌞🌱 und hat sich vorher schon ordentlich gestretched. Der Duft ist jetzt schon phänomenal – süß, fruchtig, richtig nach Citrus-Bonbons 🍊🍬. Ein bisschen Sorge hab ich schon, dass sie nachher ein richtiger Riese wird 😅. Leider hab ich den Moment nach dem Umtopfen nicht getappt, um zu sehen, wie sie reagiert hat – aber egal, ist ja ein Experiment. Zum Glück habe ich noch ein paar Samen auf Lager, also mal sehen, was dabei rauskommt 🌿. Bleibt dran und vergesst nicht zu folgen – das hier könnte ein richtig süßer Ananas-Rainbow werden 🌈🔥.

This is a very special strain that was created especially for me by Nate at The Bakery Genetics. These genetics are: Neytiri (Blue Dream x Purple Haze) X Skywalker OG (Skywalker x OG Kush) This will be my first ever soil grow (eek). I will be growing indoors in a 2x4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent using using M3 Michigan Made Mix in Rain Science Grow Bags under California Lightworks 550 Solar System LED Lights. 5 regular seeds were soaked in water for 24 hours, and then placed in Rapid Rooters. Rapid Rooter plugs were placed in a seedling tray upon a heating pad and towel and put in darkness for 30 hours. 4/5 had sprouted in that time, pushing their little seed shells to the surface. 1/10/2020 - DAY 1 - 4/5 are thriving 48 hours later. Checked on the 5th seed and it never cracked so I'm moving forward with these 4 and hoping to get at least one female! 🙏🙏🙏 I surrounded the seedlings with clay pellets to block out light. Day 2 - Seedlings were transplanted into 16oz solo cups filled with M3 Michigan Made Mix. I cut slits in the bottom of the cup for drainage and have each one resting in a 12oz cup underneath to collect run off. I watered them very slowly until I had some drops of run off. I hate not being able to see their roots. 😭 #hydrogrowerproblems Current Light Settings - R39 W49 B99 Day 5 - Gave them some 6.5 pH water slowly until I had some runoff drops. These plants are looking fat and happy!!! 😍 Day 7 - Had my first learning experience, as I found some roots coming out of the bottom of my solo cup. I wasn't sure what to do or why it happened so I did some internetting and realized that my roots were seeking the moisture at the bottom of their runoff collecting cup. I had neglected to empty the runoff from one of the solo cups (not much at all mind you) and it was enough to attract the roots. I removed the cups from all 4 and will let the air-pruning commence! - air-pruning being another thing I learned about today! I'm really enjoying getting to experience the "new grower" feeling all over again. It's pretty cool. 😎 Slowly increasing Red and White light on my LEDs to gradually move seedlings into full Veg settings. 💜

2024/05/12 : nothing special to do this week, but there is yellowing too early... No more height gain, stretch is over. I set DLI to 36~45 and let LED at 20 cm from the tallest cola. RH still about 65% despite deshumidificator... biggest problem (for me) with Autopot system. I hope it will be OK. 2024/05/14 : I saw burned tips, that and the yellowing made me quick flush blueberry with 20 L of rain water at ambient temperature, pH=6.0. I thought I would avoid yellowing this time... 😅 I guess last shot of PK was a bit too much : I'll go for half of it for the next one. As plant was out of its grow space, I checked it and removed a few dead leaves, nothing more to notice. It was not easy to remove and reset plant without breaking anything!
