The Best Elephant Trunk Grow 🏆

Hey here we go again.. in the pics I explained how to clean the lava rocks but to make it easier I will put them here. LAVA ROCK CLEANING. 1... fill sink with hot water and about a half bottle of hydrogen peroxide . 2 ...dump rocks into sink 3....shake out rocks from roots...I suggest you do this in another sink then add lava rock to other sink..it keeps from adding to many roots to water sink. 4....skim off all roots from top of water...now while the lava rocks sit in the water..clean the buckets. 5...take fitting from buckets and add to a cup filled with hydrogen peroxide let sit 6...clean buckets with hot water and hydrogen peroxide....dry bucket 7...take fittings out of cup clean off and clean inside fittings..then wash off and put back into buckets. 8... use a colander and add lava rock to it and run hot water over the lava rock as you move them around...then add warm..then cold water this will help make the roots brittle and easy to remove...shake off all water. 9...put rocks back into buckets 10 ...set room back up with all new lines... Enjoy your grow, good luck, have fun Smoke a fatty..see you next week Help out a fellow grower.

It's been a fairly uneventful week in the 5x5. I cut down my Blackberry auto the other day and I've been thinking of getting seeds ready for the stuff I plan to grow outside this summer...With my currents cycle of plants being deep in to flower, I have time to look forward at upcoming projects. The Mimosa cake auto is one of those plants currently deep into flower. She's been giving off a dank smell of earthy/fruity/spicy terps. She is extremely dense and sticky to the touch. I find myself cutting fan leaves off daily due to her busy and stout stature. The only down side I have to her is the fact that she's going to take around 100 days from germination to harvest. Process/ Environment changes: - Turned off one TS1000 after I cut down the Blackberry auto. I did this to try and cool the tent down. Higher temps outside creates an increase I'm ambient air temp in my basement. - Fed Advanced Nutrients Bloom nutes at a rate of 1.5 mL/gal - no longer using a fish tank water heater to heat my water reservoir due to increased ambient air temperatures in basement Trichomes still mostly clear... I'm on day 84 post germination today as I write this.

The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

These photos were taking yesterday and I meant to post than but here we are. They seem to be doing well, growth seems to be picking up a bit but I've noticed slight burns and I think I just started nutrients a little bit too early. A new addition to the tent is a 4th seed I planted today, I'm goign to breed the best female and male, hopefully I get two females and one male but well see.

She is growing strong and healthy...

Mid way through Week 6. I’m finally current in my grow diary so hopefully I can keep it updated in real time.

Light was at 16" from days 1-7, which was way too close! The light was moved up to 32" and normal growth begun! The light is an SF4000 that's dimmed to 333watts while being cooled. day 21-Defoliation begins! removed 1 fan leaf, and one node(on oposite side of 1st node) already! Day 22, two more LST wires added, to expose the lowest node to equal light with the rest!

July 5 - other crops on the lateral branches, growing strong every day 💚🔥

📅 Week 9 (Days 56–62) 🌸 Mid-Flower | Bud Development | Nutrient Monitoring This week saw a clear ramp-up in flower density. The buds have begun to take on noticeable weight, with trichome coverage increasing steadily — not just on the sugar leaves, but now crawling onto small calyx fans. There’s a tangible stickiness to the upper canopy, and the diesel/cardamom/citrus terp profile has deepened. Aroma is more persistent after lights-on, lingering even after ventilation. Leaf health has required a watchful eye. The lower fans have continued to yellow and were removed incrementally. Nothing alarming yet - mostly older leaves giving up their stores. But toward the end of the week, I spotted some yellowing beginning to creep into mid-canopy areas. No burn, no twist - just fading. I’ve continued feeding - full strength Advanced Nutrients this week, including one adjusted dose focusing only on Grow (3.5 mL in 2L) to boost nitrogen in response to the yellowing. Watered with 2L at pH 6.4. No runoff, but weight and hydration have been monitored closely. Still a slight risk of earlier shallow root development limiting uptake, but the plant is holding its posture. One environmental slip-up: I noticed the leaf edges starting to taco slightly mid-week. Tracked it down to the humidifier being off. Once re-enabled, RH returned to 50–55%, and the issue self-corrected. No further signs of VPD stress. Trichomes: Still mostly clear with very few cloudy. No amber in sight. Maturity is progressing slowly - right on pace for a post-vacation harvest. Action points: – Continue feeding through Week 10 – Monitor yellowing mid-canopy - may respond with another Grow-only supplement if it progresses – Keep RH stable with the new humidifier – Macro checks every few days to watch for trichome shift 🗓️ Overall: A stable week with increasing density and trichome output. Aroma building. No rush yet — plant is following a long, even curve into maturity. Feeding schedule holds, with my daughter planned to feed once or twice while I’m away, then transition to water only.

Sensi seeds Jack Herer 10 weeks of veg completed 11th Feb 2020 Hopefully this will be the last week of vegetation and this girl starts to flower because I have ran out of room to train her . I managed to get her to cover the entire circumfrence of the pot and then some, using a combination of LST and HST . I also did the last topping about 10 days ago and won't be doing any more. The soil must still be very fertile as the plant itself looks really healthy and lush. Only water was given as I still haven't got around to extracting some worm castings from the worm farm. But it'll happen and when it does this girl will get half a kilos worth which I am sure she will appreciate. Also apart from the odd bite mark on a leaf the plant has remained pretty much insect free as far as pest insects are concerned. I put this down to the Companion Coriander plant that has been coexisting beside my Jack herer girl right from the start . Apparently most bugs dislike coriander and will purposely avoid it which is a win win for both plants. Thankyou for reading this weeks update and I will return next week hopefully with reports of Flowering beginning. 👍

Gorilla Girl XL Auto – Sweet Seeds Woche 6 gesamt | Blüte Woche 1 Die Gorilla Girl XL Auto ist jetzt voll in der Blüte angekommen und liefert direkt stark ab. Der Stretch läuft noch, aber wird langsam kontrollierbarer – sie hat in kurzer Zeit ordentlich an Höhe und Breite zugelegt und füllt den Space jetzt richtig gut aus. Die ersten weißen Pistillen sind überall sichtbar und die Budsites entwickeln sich sauber und gleichmäßig. Vor allem im oberen Bereich bilden sich schon stabile Ansätze für dicke Colas. Die Struktur wirkt sehr aufgeräumt: gute Internodienabstände und viele potenzielle Headbuds durch das vorherige Training. Die Pflanze steht top da – sattes Grün, kräftige Seitentriebe und keinerlei Anzeichen von Mangel oder Stress. Sie nimmt alles an, was man ihr gibt. Licht-Update: Die Leistung wurde jetzt von 60W auf 120W erhöht, was man direkt am Wachstum merkt. Die Pflanze reagiert sehr positiv darauf – kompaktere Entwicklung und mehr Druck auf die Budbildung. Die LED kann bei Bedarf noch bis 180W gefahren werden, aktuell ist aber ein sehr guter Sweet Spot erreicht. Geruchlich geht es jetzt langsam los: leicht süßlich mit einer fruchtig-dieseligen Note im Hintergrund. Noch nicht zu aufdringlich, aber definitiv vorhanden – das wird in den nächsten Wochen eskalieren. Setup / Notes: 120W aktuell → deutlicher Push im Wachstum Bis 180W möglich in späterer Blütephase Stretch noch aktiv, aber unter Kontrolle Sehr gleichmäßige Budentwicklung Keine Probleme bisher Fazit Woche 6: Perfekter Übergang in die Blütephase. Mit dem erhöhten Lichtlevel kommt jetzt richtig Energie rein – wenn das so weiterläuft, wird das eine fette, harzige Ernte 🔥

Tag 86: Auf in die letzte Woche!

TOTAL COST : 138£ - Electricity usage - £8 Buying the Grow lights - £54 Buying the Nutrients - £45 Buying Pots (x3) - £16 Tools - £5 Soil - 10£ I should say I had the nutrients for over 2 years so I’m using the price for that initial purchase. They were used in all my other gardening endeavours such as tomato's, strawberries and chillies, I had great results with BAC and Nutrigrow but they are somewhat pricey. You might find some cheaper alternatives if that figure puts you off. - 31/05/26- This plant blew my expectations, from seed to harvest she was amazing, developing faster than expected at all stages, with keep in mind very limited resources, still she was a productive, over achiever and definitively one of my best grows of all time! But harvest day is upon us, her tricomes are in that sweet spot for Milkey/small amounts of amber! So Now is the best moment to harvest! It’s always a bit emotional but I like to play some calm peaceful music like a final concert dedicated to the plant right before I put her to sleep! And start drying her. I like to make use of all the leaves brewing them into a tea. I’ll update the dry weight later! 03/06/26 - This is great I got the dry weight back and got 10grams of dry sticky amazing weed, this is better than I initially expected, I had in mind that I would be lucky for 8 grams! But now I'm curing it and developing those terpenes flavours which should enhance the experience! This is modest quality and I couldn’t be prouder

Try hydro ... Good luck for me

Plusieurs sacs a pollen se développe, plante très très hermaphrodite pour ma part.
