43 to 49 Friday Watch the video at the end for a good view of the rent. Pics are hard to take. Man these things are so fkn frosted and dense (SUPER DENSE) that I thought I was getting close to chop. The video and pictures are only 45 days into flower and that's crazy to me. Weaning the plants off the micro. Half dose this week. After that probably only bloom stuff and taper off till flush (yeah, I flush now) 900ppm @ 6.1 Lights max @ 8-10" 25c/52rh

4/27 Day 1 of flower. Both are showing white pistil hairs so I’ll start counting flower as of today. They were getting pretty bushy so I went and did some defoliation and reworked them into the trellis net. I did accidentally supercrop one of the tops while doing that so hopefully it isn’t too much stress to cause a herm. Light at the highest point is now 630 PAR / 27.2 DLI. 5/3 Day 7 of flower. With the humidity getting much higher with spring here I decided to do another round of defoliation to keep things airy and spaced out. The fungus gnats are back in numbers so I’m trying a new approach with the sticky pads. I’m covering the entire top part of the pots to hopefully prevent them from going anywhere. Even if it doesn’t completely wipe them out it should at least keep them away from the buds as they start forming.

Day 50 - Checked PPM 1,030. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,550. Plant is 51 inches. Raised the light to its highest position. Tons of bud production. Day 51 - Checked PPM 1,590. PPM went up so i diluted with RO water. PPM is now 835. Plant is 52 inches tall. Leaves are getting glossy colored and sticky. Day 52 - Checked PPM 1,560. Diluted again with RO water. PPM is 725. Bud production scaled up. Green mass forming between white hairs and sugar leaves. The stock reminds me of the body of a lizard. Plant is 54 inches tall. Day 53 - Checked PPM 1,130. Added RO water. PPM is 650. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,620. Plant is 55 inches tall. Tons of white hairs. Bud production everywhere. The mylar emergency blanket allows the light to penetrate deep and low into the plant. Day 56 - Water nearly gone. Added 2 gallons of RO water. Added 20 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 10 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,690. I can see trichome production (frosty buds and sugar leaves). The hairs are still white. Light is 2 inches above plant. Light is nearly against the ceiling. It stays this way til harvest.

Day 43/Flower Day 15 - Stretch, stretch and more stretch. Literally have all my headspace taken up and thats using flat LED Bars! Its not for want of light, these things HAVE to be getting a DLI over 45 now if not near 50 (I need to do a test)!!! Defs going to invest in 2 Royal Blue LED Bars for next grow. As soon as I bend over/tie down one set of big pushers, another pair start up that were not being shaded/shadowed by the previous set. Worried too with the stretch being as severe, the yield will suffer! As noted in comments, will be venting the building the grow tent is in better very soon but when I can get that done is another thing!!! Looks like I am going to have to pull my extraction out of the tent and run a blow through the carbon filter and get some more ratchet hangers to give me an extra 9-12"!!! Has to be Heat/Humidity and then the feed from the lights giving them what they need. Luckily, I am due to be receiving a 6" AC Infinity Setup tomorrow so may be the way to set it up just for the last 8 weeks of the grow. Also had 2 brand new RAM 7" Oscillating fans pack up within a few hours of each other...not 4 weeks old and they're done! The Sweet Cherry Pie defs not setting buds as quick as the Red Hot Cookies...they look a few days to a week behind. This also probably means the last of growing different strains in the same tent! I don't have the space/means to set up a drying tent and need to use the grow space for that so need them to finish the same time. Both these are supposed to be a same week finisher but with the slower budset, I don't know (@Kagonisss, did you notice a difference in the bud setting between the Red Hot Cookies and the Sweet Cherry Pie???) - I could over-ripen the RHC or take the SCP when a bit under. Basically, that's it though. Nothing more to report other than things I have to engineer to get around! From the looks of it, I'll have no room to get my UVB tube in when the time comes but, dunno...we'll see. Have upped the Bloom Nutes now to be higher than the base to fuel the initial flower set. Have a bit of lower leaf fall off from lack of light/plants using the reserves and probs going to have to do a bit of a defoliate by the end of the week to settle humidity and have them top buds concentrated on. Apart from that, Happy Growing all!!! 💪

It was time to open the pot again and have look at what's going on. Did the Living consume all the leaves yet or is there a nice mold coming through? Are the Living even still living after last week's weather conditions? ---------------------------------------- June 21 The medium was in for a watering again. My youngest didn't like the taste of that particular banana so we tossed it in the pot as well. 3L of dechlorinated tapwater, with no feed and no microbes. PH Min to 6.3 ---------------------------------------- June 29 The medium was so dry, I had to water the pot first before any digging could take place. I was seriously concerned for the Army, having to withstand these temperatures. To my surprise, I actually found a couple still! Unfortunately the banana was all but untouched. That wasn't cool, digging it up and it not being infested with Worms. I'm holding my breath for next week. It's supposed to reach 40C... ---------------------------------------- Thanks for stopping bye! Hope to see you with the next update. 👊😎

This week I found fungus gnats I added sticky boards and mosquito bits. A small amount of fading on oldest leaves. I did a small defoliation of the yellow fan leaves. I added bone meal to the top layer of soil and worked it in. Water at 6.5.

Alles in allem top riecht auch vorrangig nach Käse bisschen sauer, bin auf den Geschmack gespannt. Wenn sie fertig getrocknet ist für's Grovebag dann wird auch wieder eine kleine vorab Kostprobe gemacht 👍 So nach ein paar Wochen aushärten is der Geschmack der Hammer 🙏💪. Vorwiegend Richtung Blueberry mit einem Unterton Cheese. Wirklich extrem lecker und die Bud-Struktur ist der Wahnsinn, sehr dichte und knüppelharte Knospen, sowas gutes hatte ich bisher ni, selbst in den Shops in den Niederlanden noch nie so harte und harzige Blüten bekommen. Absoluter Favorit bis jetz, großes Lob an Zamnesia für die geile Sorte👌 die wird auf jeden Fall wieder gemacht. Hab zum Glück noch 2 Samen und werd auch wieder welche nachbestellen wenn die leer sind 😄.

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

Week 8 November 13 -another week and we have flipped to flower about 5 days ago no sign of pistils but the bud sites are starting to lighten up in color -got some nutrient water on some of the leaves last watering so that’s not good -also top watered to get the bloom nutrients to break down for the coming weeks -also rigged this card board cut out to keep the top soil dry so the amendments stay moist enough to break down as I bottom water all the established plants
