🌿 Permanent Marker – Pheno #1 | Harvest Report (Part 1) (Week 13 From Seed / Week 9 Flower — The Tall Mama’s Story) ⸻ 🌟 A Gentle Apology To Start… Before diving into this week’s update, I want to offer a small apology to everyone following this diary. Because of the new file limitations, I once again had to divide the harvest and trim documentation into separate weeks. This pheno was massive, and naturally… she produced an unbelievable amount of media — photos, videos, details from every angle. So to avoid losing anything, here is Part 1 of her harvest story. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you to GrowDiaries for continuing to improve the platform. 💚 ⸻ 🌸 Harvest – Pheno #1 (The One Who Aimed for the Moon) If Pheno #2 was compact elegance, then Pheno #1 was pure cosmic energy. From the moment she started stretching, she refused to stop — tall, powerful, expressive, and full of character. And in the end? She delivered 249 grams of dry, cured, beautifully aromatic medicine. A true queen. What defined her: • Thick, dense, resin-rich buds • Rich coloration during late flower • Loud aroma that filled the dry room • A structure that felt sculpted rather than grown Even though she stretched to the stars, her bud formation was surprisingly compact and tight, even tighter than her sister’s. Different phenos, different personalities — and both extraordinary. ⸻ Drying & Trim (Narrative Summary) Pheno #1 followed the same journey as her sister: – harvested whole – hung as a complete plant – left to dry naturally in stable conditions – trimmed entirely by hand with scissors and fingers – every bud selected and shaped with care – stored and cured properly in Grove Bags Her weight settled at 249 grams after cure — clean, stable, fragrant. During trimming and curing, her personality truly revealed itself: Floral elements, deep sweetness, that unmistakable Permanent Marker sharpness, and an intensity that promises beautiful experiences. The volume of resin was immediately noticeable — sticky fingers and loud aromas from the moment the scissors touched her. ⸻ 🌈 Aroma & Expression Even before final cure, she was exploding with character: – louder terpenes than expected – thick resin presence – bold colors in late flower translating into rich tones in the final buds – beautifully clean burn and expressive flavors She truly embodies the lineage she comes from. ⸻ 🌿 Why This Update Is Split Simply put: she was huge — and I documented everything. With GrowDiaries’ new upload restrictions, it’s safer to do this in two parts than to risk losing files halfway. Part 2 will come next week, with the remaining photos, videos, and impressions from her drying and curing evolution. ⸻ 🏆 Dognabis Cup – A Little Reminder The Dognabis Cup continues beautifully.

So far it looks like I have control of the nute burn looking at the fan leave not burning/changing anymore. Started finish but started at 5pm and my led goes off at 6pm. I kept flushing till 6:20om but stopped due to the fear of the ladies herming, revegging, or anything that would cause my ladies to start off week 7 on a slow/bad start. Defoiling a little but mostly real bad burned fan leave because I believe your ladies will continue to try and repair them which pulls energy from bud developement. Flushed on 6/1/22 and ended on 6/2/22 all 3 ladies ppm is under 200 so I can make sure they have enough to ripen and fatten up. On week 8, I will do a ice flush and then 2-3 days of darkness while they freeze. Checked trichomes on 6-5-22 and some show maybe 10-20% on some colas. Will harvest all 3 on 6-12-22 probably in the morning which I seen and heard it is better because at a certain time in the day marijuana plants let out moisture and you want to keep as much of that as possible.n

- Day 22 Renewed all the water in the bucket today as we head into week 4 already. Gave everything a good cleanse with some hydrogen peroxide as well, got to keep those pathogens out! Seems like she's reacting well to me removing the 4 fan leaves yesterday as well. Day 23 Upped the PPFD to 400 today. pH was at 6.3 to got it back down to 5.8. Also seeing the first white pistils on the nodes of the stems now, so we're in pre flowering now! Day 24 The upper fan leaves had a big growth spurt the past 2 days and were completely covering the lower nodes, so I chopped them off, also removed the lowest nodes of fan leaves to redirect energy to the new growth. pH was up to 6.1 today, will wait till tomorrow to ph down again. Day 25 Yesterday I lowered the water a bit so that there is more space between the net pot and the surface of the water, I think I kept the gap a bit to small so the roots couldn't breathe enough, and today the leaves are finally a lot less droopy. I did also raise the light distance a bit but kept the same 400 PPFD. pH'd down to 5.8 again as well, even though it was still at 6.1 and added an 8ml of hydrogen peroxide dose. Day 26 Removed the new set of fan leaves again, they keep growing so fast Day 27 Stretch has definitely begun now. The side branches are starting to catch up with that main branch now as well. Trying to keep those lower nodes getting some direct light by trimming and tucking wherever possible.

Nov 13 - Day 94 - More bulking up, girls are holding water longer. Watered Older plant at 7.45PM. Started defoliating withered leaves with trichomes, I'm keeping those for now, and will combine with bubble hash trim. Nov 14 - Day 95 - Both pots aren't super light so I'll wait until tomorrow and water both at the same time. Starting to think about drying and harvest, I suspect there to be a fortnight between each harvest - but unsure if I can afford the tent space with next run growing. I think I'll water either as lights turn off (if humidity wont rise) or first thing on Nov 15. Nov 14 - Trichomes are milky with the speckle of clear and amber. Lets hope the lagging cola fattens up in the week to come. Nov 14 - WATERED Younger plant at 10.30PM. Nov 15 - Watered Older plant at 3PM Nov 16 - Watered Younger plant at 5PM Nov 17 - Woke up to 80F. Likely at higher temp for 1 hour before noticing. Defoliated a few leaves, including one or two with trichomes, of which I've saved. Nov 18 - Watered Older plant at 6AM. Younger plant pot is light at lights off- will water first thing in the morning. Also removed dead tips and accidentally chopped a healthy fan leaf. I was hoping to chop today, but it might be another week before the younger plant is ready. Nov 19 - DAY 100 - Watered Younger plant at 10.30AM. Trichomes are developing nicely, I suspect 1 more week with younger plant which makes me wonder when to chop older plant.

yo ppl out there growing this strain: First of all congratulations !! This is something truly special !! I just fall deeper and deeper in love with this cultivar. so to anyone growing this two notes, right quick: - you can feed this one real heavy !! I been red lining her with nutes. close to maxing out all the way thru. I think there were only two waterings with just sugar water. she responds very well to heavy nutes. - also veg her out longer than you would. She don't stretch much. I have the mom and two clones going but mom is three weeks ahead. I'll be posting some buds soon from her actually. Anyway Greenhouse seeds co. describes it as creamy smell, a dark chocolate and coffee smell. Maybe I got a pheno but I don't get that. I get toffee and lemon flower, kinda like twizzlers and sprite but somebody frothing up cream in the coffee machine. but no coffee. Mom is 3 weeks ahead and she smells the same. soon as I pull up smell welcomes me home. type of smell that just pulls you in and you just want to follow. the buds are so dense !! I wouldn't want to be the story bastard to take of of these buds to the dome after falling of the empire state. The golf balls would take somebody out. some of the hardest nugs I've grown for sure. TIGHT !! this is something very special

Welcome to the next week of great adventure with young gorillas. The beginning of the week I started with a small flush with tap water at pH 6.3. I intend to change the 150W HPS lamp to brand new 250w plantstar this week. In next few days gonna use pk 13/14 One love for everyone 🌱🐒🌱🐒🌱🐒 P.S: mobile application is terrible, it is very difficult to update something, it always gets stuck during the upload of photo, no upload percentage. Already twice made me mess up the whole week EDIT: Additional HPS mounted 250w plantastar. Unfortunately, after purchasing the wattmeter, I discovered that my LED consumes only 220w of guaranteed 350w. I'm thinking about giving it back for a guarantee. The current energy consumption of the entire project is 810w / h

My first experience with Sweet Seeds was with some Gorilla Girl photo that I took a chance on. My only comment on one of the pheno's I received is WOW!!!!! So it is no real surprise to me that I was so impressed with the resilience of this strain and the buds she grew. She ran 84 days and was worth the wait......almost jumped the gun about 5 or 6 days early. She was strong all the way through and at first was the one I threw in and we will just see what happens.....she was a free seed. In the end she received a lot of my staring and salivating😄😄💪👍🙏 Update April 2020............ The buds have firming up and the curing continues. The citrus has come through much stronger after 4 weeks cure. She was hung on March 1st and dried for 7 days, into jars on March 8th. The piney citrus is very prominent now. She comes on quick for a buzz and is fairly balanced in my opionion and not overly energetic but not lethargic either.A nice balanced all day smoke for myself. Great flavours coming through now......I am a fan of piney smoke😃👍 So the buds have ended up nice and firm, slows down the grinder😁, powerful and lasts over an hour plus I have a high tolerance, nice eye appeal and pungent smell........Love it Sweet Seeds!!!!!! You have done awesome with this Autoflower..........she is a keeper.........but there is the issue with auto flowers👌😃 Sweet Seeds rocked it........if you are looking for a great yielding, resilient, dense bud plant she is worth your consideration! Sweet smokes Apolo!!

Los cogollos no dejan de engordar y endurecer 🔥 Estoy realmente sorprendido con los resultados que está dando esta pequeña gorilla. Vamos a mantener los valores por una semana mas para ver si siguen en aumento pero ya nos estamos preparando para la recta final y hacerle su lavado de raices para una fumada perfecta. El olor es potente y su resina abundante. Como dije antes, lo mas sorprendente es lo compacto que están los cogollos, son piedras.

End of the 3rd week of transition and plants are still lazy as hell getting to flower. There’s minor pistoling but no cotton balls at all. They’re slow all around. We ended up culling down to a 50/50 split of males and females and now it’s just a question of whether or not the females actually flower. We’ll see I guess… still wait’n….

Week 4 At the beginning of this week she looked rather unhappy. Think I’m gonna leave off the rain water for a bit and go back to tap. I’ve ordered calmag and bio heaven so I can’t wait for these to arrive. I also removed about 12 lower bud sites and defoliate. She’s a strong plant every morning I had to keep forcing the colas down. She loves a spraying in the mornings :D She’s drinking very well. And omg the size of the stem at this age I’ve never seen this before. Toward the end of the week she went into flower. Is this right? Happy with her so far
