-4/30/23 Start of week --Week 6 -5/1/23 (Day 44) --Observations: getting clustered in the middle, still growing at a good rate --Changes: removes some shade leaves -5/2/23 (Day 45) --Changes: added new guiders --Comments: some new guiders were added to first set of side branches, should help lengthen branches and make some space for the other ones. -5/3/23 (Day 46) --Changes: removed two of the branches (used for clones), added new guiders --Comments: to free up space two branches were removed, the remaining spade leaf branch and the branch on the bottom side of the main stem. these branches were used as potential clones, one might not survive because the stem is short and curved but the other will most likely take root. after branch removal new guiders were added to pull down the remaining vertical branch, also guiders were placed to influence second set of side branches. -5/6/34 (Day 49) --Observations: starting to get clustered again --Changes: defoliation, added new guiders --Comments: removed several shade leaves to free up space, also added some guiders to secondary branches to try and keep them from growing into each other during the pre-flower stretch. tomorrow will be the start of flower cycle, the light is getting set to 12/12 light/night at the end of today. will not be removing any leaves or branches during the first three weeks of flower cycle, at the end of week three a defoliation will be done if needed. -5/6/23 End of Week

15/08/18 - all looking good got loads of roots piercing out the sides of the smart pot , I’m thinking of adding cannazyme soon to break up all the dead roots etc, I’m feeding them the usual tonight and 2 litres each 💧and I’m done with LST now im just gonna let them start to stretch🙏🏻🙌🏻 17/08/18 - saw some weird marks on a leaf or two this morning and then later on it look like the pic above, it’s only happening on older leaves it’s not affecting any new growth, I’m out of grow questions so any help would be grear ✌️🏻 20/08/18 - just watered them with the above ☝️🏻 All looking good think I’m half way through the stretch so I’ve started to add some canna boost to the solution , probably gonna do some LST later on this week.

Finishing up week 3, girls are looking nice. The middle mainlined plant looks like the winner! Great experiment to do.

This is getting close to flush now and she smells lush very gasy and so sticky lol brilliant genetics

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Hey growmies, It looks like she has recovered, and didn't enter flower. Signs of strong genetics right there. I covered my hydroton to prevent algae, it works great. I'm not sure if I can clone this one, her first weeks of life she was too focused on recovery, as a result the plant is a little stunted for its age, but I will re-assess next week, as she looks fine now. Just not sure how much time I have before flower. Stay safe, warm and high. It's rough out there. My equipment is mainly by Mars Hydro, I bought them with my own hard earned money, if you are interested in buying one of their lights or tents and would like a small discount and help me out, check out the link below ! https://marshydro.eu/?ref=belgianbudtender Coupon code belgianbudtender

Day 57: Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water with nutrients. Day 58: Used super cropping (hope I'm saying that right) on the tallest branch to make the canopy more even. Day 59: I am not watering enough. Day 61: Sadness. I was attempting supercropping and snapped the stem of what I thought would become my largest cola. I have taped it but now feel I've topped my auto.

Beginning of week.. She doesn't have many pistils turning.. Some tho.. This is going to be a long flowering strain.. Not many milky trichomes yet either.. She is very stinky lol.. Hope she is ready for a flushing soon! Mid week.. Still just doin her thing.. Pistils still slowly turning.. Still smells like piss lol till you rub the trichomes.. Then you smell the sweet piney dankness.. Not a bad strain.. Just a long flowering period.. Can't complain lol. I'm ready to start flushing.. But she's not.. Maybe I could just start flushing and flush her for a good 3 or 4.. Or however many weeks it takes till she's ready.. I've flushed a plant for a good 4 or 5 weeks before.. Leaves looked like shit but the bud was still great.. That was the Zkittlez Glue actually since I counted the flowering weeks wrong.. Hmm.. Nah I'm gonna wait another week before I even think about flushing. I am seeing some milky/cloudy trichomes.. Even a very few amber starting.. You can tell they aren't even full on amber cuz of how light they still are.. But i dis find a few beginning to amber.. So yeah.. Maybe 1 more week of nutes, then start flushing. End of week... Still waiting to see some trichomes turning lol.. Pistils are turning for sure.. Trichomes.. Not so much yet.. Seeing some light burn issues on a couple leaves.. But that's not stopping her one bit! She is still a very happy girl! Thickening up a little on top.. Bottom.. Not so much yet either lol.. Still happy with her.. On to the next!!!...

Nov 29: They seem to be accelerating in veg growth but I see a small portion of the leaf on the smaller plant either grew in mutated or somthing cut it, I haven’t seen a single bug in the box so I don’t think it’s that but you never know, and the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think! Dec 2: Walked into the room and noticed a faint smell, wasn’t any smell last night when I started the LST on the slower girl. Further inspection showed some white pistols on the bigger girl, I believe she is the culprit for the smell as the other seems about a week behind. They are both now LST‘d and leaf tucked. Enjoy the pics and vid’s! Dec 6: I have tied down some of the longer chutes on the bigger plant (will see in week 5 update) to create more airflow and light penetration as I didn’t even realize how bushy the stem and node sections had gotten. I have also cut the chutes coming off the first true leaf. I don’t think I will make any cuts to the smaller one as it’s already a slower growing pheno. Going on a trip starting the end of week secede to late week 8, so I have a automatic feeder coming from Amazon, and I will continue using it through flower to reduce open tent time.

Day 120 - Getting closer to harvest day for this lady. She's huge and full of buds towards the top, smaller somewhat fat buds in the middle, and larfy buds at the bottom. I should have lollipopped her 1 or 2 more nodes up, especially for the colas that did not end up stretching as far as the others. Fed the lady water amended per this week's diary. Still seeing white pistils on her main colas so still 2 weeks away or so from harvest. I think this will be her last full nutrient feeding and for her next watering she'll get her last Cal-Mag feeding. I'll probably do 2 more plain water feedings from there and harvest once the soil is dried out after her last plain water feeding. I'm seeing a few of the lower buds of the lowest colas show some spots on the leaves so I just cut those parts off and hung to begin drying. It doesn't appear to be spreading but I'll keep an eye out these next few days. Day 123 - Fed the lady her last Cal-Mag amended feeding. Trichomes are looking more cloudy now on the middle buds. Will give 1 more plain water feeding instead of 2, I want to see how this bud will smoke with minimal flush versus the first lady harvested that was flushed more. Day 127 - Decided to skip completely flushing her to compare versus an over flushed plant. Harvested her today with the soil nice and dry.

Tous ce passe bien merci à tous pour votre soutien .

This is right on day 14. I feel they should have a bit more growth at this point. It's been raining here for 3 days now and its coming my sidewalls. Any suggestions leave it in the comments.

Getting there,glad to see the one pheno seems to be side branching decently.Will just carry on tieing down side branches and main.Weathers been great but definitely getting cooler.Looking foward to their first fully saturated fertigation to runoff during the week if the good weather persists.

Removed a pair of the larger leaves to allow for more light to hit the side branches. As the pics show I've introduced a couple of ladybugs to see if they can actually be used for pest control. They've survived but look quite passive.. Not sure there's enough for them to eat :-).

I'm speechless......... I don't know what to say or think at this point. This strain is amazing!

Start 32 days

Haven't been remembering to post weekly updates! Everything is going great the auto flower girls are budding nicely and the other ladies are starting to flower nicely I'm giving alternating nutrients using a few different fox farm nutrient feed charts with my own take on them from notes an suggestions. This is the part that is so enjoyable but so stressful!
