Week 5 for Strawberry Gorilla by fastbuds, She's now definitely in flower mode. She's almost the same height as Moby dick but way less leafy so I'm not expecting as much flower from here for now anyway. Don't feel the need to train her just yet whatsoever. She's a little more fragile ATM but hopefully she will stiffness up a bit now with the wind outdoors. 😇 Right after this picture i also put a decent amount of mulch on her as i believe the sun will be coming back fairly soon.

Plants grew fast. They're ready for going out now but they have to wait 2 more days. I had troubles finding balance between watering and nutrition. I'm waiting for some good soil in two days and I will transplant these girls in their 3g pots outside. I hope they make it two more days in this poor Cocomixture and that they survive a transplant in far richer soil in the sun.

Increased the lights to 50% here. This made the temp in the tent higher. As you can see we have moved to a larger pot. This soil in the new pot is 33% our organic mix and 66% Happy Frog. Still no nutrients needed because of what is in the soil mix.

Smelling great and getting frostier by the day. Trichs still mostly clear with a few going cloudy. Dropped temps a few degrees. Buds are lovely and dense. One more week of feed then flush.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

4cm vertical growth this week. Flowering stretch finished now. She is ~1m wide........

Pow pow and it’s already Week8 Girls are definitely in stretch now getting some training on ScrOG net to fill this tent in full. Somewhere this week they will all go through defoliation process and planning to lower the upper net. EC this week going up to 2.0 Temps around 26C Humidity around 60% Stay tuned with photo updates 🤘 Video update Day6 - defoliation done, second net done, all plants on same level done. Stretching very nice in last few days 😍

De nuevo traigo otra semana de estas green poison segunda de floración. Sweetseeds hizo un gran trabajo en su día trabajando esta variedad. Resistente, vigorosa, y veréis que flores que tiran, están tan bien ramificadas que los laterales están a la altura de la puntas. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/24 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: 0,5 ml x L Flowering black line , vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Beta shark, vía radicular. 0,3 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0,8 ml x L Génesis, vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Betazyme, vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Flash Root , vía radicular. 0,05 ml x L Gold Joker, vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Silver, vía radicular. . Hasta aquí todo gente, espero que os guste lo que veía, un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot. As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time. This is the middle plant, not planned for this cycle but one of the 3 Tropicana didn't germinate so I took the Gorrilla Girl I had left from the last cycle, and I'm quite thankful for that! It's so nice to have these geneti contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes. Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious. 19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday.

Har ikke vært i stand til at give rapport sidste uge da jeg glemte hende og hun ikke havde det godt der ! Nu har hun fået det bedre og SÅ MEGET BEDRE HUN SNART SKAL HØSTES HVIS I ER ENIGE OG HVIS I VIL HJÆLPE MIG SÅ SKRIV LIGE HVORNÅR I TROR HUN ER KLAR TIL HØST;)

Girlscout Cookies x UK Cheese by HomegrownCannabis Co. Produced lots of chunky flowers. Nice calming smoke. Would definitely grow it again.

Day 21/ cookies 🍪 kush / first grow Lights 12/12/ par 950/ technaflora nutes/ ppm 1400 / Ph 6.5 / organic soil/ RH 50 %/ temp 23-27 night 18-22/ 7 gal pots Plant is back left . Power went out for a day so I kept light cycle going with flashlights lol . I like how frosty they look already. Defoliation was done on day 18 . There has been no stretch since. Plants 23 inches tall. Looks like I’ll have 4-5 good tops per plant. Also included a video of my setup!

Week 3 for the solo is officially complete. She's been growing with no trouble. Root development has been excellent. As you can see, I decided to mainline. Seeing as she's in a solo cup, I'm not too worried about stunting. I'm horrible at measuring the water intake, but the cup needs to be watered daily. It's as lite as a feather everyday.

- Streching is almost fully stopped. - Had to elevate the pot of Kings Kush 10 cm more as Chemical Bride is significantly bigger in size. - A big defoliation and Lollipoping are applied on 18.06 which kind of stunned the growth for the next 1-2 days. - Humidity has been a very big problem in Berlin due multiple storms this week as it cruised around 70-85 % outside whole week. - VPD fluctuated this week between 0,75 and 1.7 kPa , averaging at 1,15 kPa. Lower than last week… - Tent temperature fluctuated around 22 at night and 26 Celsius at day time, averaging at 24.2. Slightly higher than last week even though iI have increased the inline fan speed on 16.06. - Humidity fluctuated crazy between 50-75% this week, averaging at 61.6. - This week, I kept giving increased Ph (6.8) of water as the medium Ph is still under 6 cruising around 5,8. - Trichome development has started, already seeing frosting on Chemical Bride. - White pistils are slowly turning orange on Kings Kush.

Growing a little too tall for my room, but I think the stretch is pretty much done now. I super cropped 3 of the largest colas. Probably spoke too soon last week, PH dropped like a stone down to 4.5 a few days back. They had K and Mg lock out for maybe half a day. Stripped most of the lowest 10 leaves of nutrients. This is why defoliation is not the way to go, keep your leaves. They act as storage for nutrients and give you a buffer if PH lets you down 😁 It’s also pretty difficult to get a decent photo of the whole plants anymore 😕

Next weekend i let you know what is the outcome
