🌱 Weekly Report: Week 16 Flower – Gorilla Melon Highlights 🌱 Room Dynamics and Challenges This week marked a pivotal phase as we approached harvest. The decision to harvest Gorilla Melon in two stages allowed us to navigate a potential mold issue effectively. The mold was confined to select areas of dense colas, which were promptly removed to protect the rest of the plant. This experience reinforces the importance of keen observation, especially in the final weeks. Environmental Parameters • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 53.2% • VPD: 1.57 kPa • CO₂ Levels: 1067 ppm • PPFD: 690 µmol/m²/s • Solution Stats: pH 6.67 | TDS 695 ppm | Temp 18.3°C The ThinkGrow LEDs and TrolMaster systems shone during this critical period, maintaining precise control over the environment. The addition of deep red and UV light at 100%, with whites at 50%, seemed to amplify trichome production, resulting in a frosty finish across the garden. Highlights of the Week • Fading Colors: The garden displayed a stunning spectrum of fading hues, signaling the end of the cycle. Gorilla Melon’s red highlights and frost stood out beautifully. • Defoliation Success: The earlier defoliation efforts paid off, minimizing mold spread and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. • Trichome Inspection: The frost level across Gorilla Melon was nothing short of mesmerizing, a testament to her genetics and the controlled environment. Gratitude and Community A heartfelt thank you to the community for your support and engagement. The sponsors—ThinkGrow LED, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, and ProMix Soil—made this run possible. It’s been a pleasure to share this journey with you all. What’s Next? With Gorilla Melon harvested, the spotlight now shifts to the other girls in the garden. Stay tuned for their individual harvest reports, smoke reviews, and more as we wrap up this epic series!

Day 59-66 transition from veg to flower

Salut les Growmies, Quelle superbe aventure cette génétique de chez Exotic Seeds. Cette Zkittalicious depuis le debut m'étonne , de part sa grande vitalité .Malgré l attaque du caht , elle a reprise le dessus , elle a réagi merveilleusement bien a l entrainement que je lui ai fait subir ,LST ,Topping..... Et maintenant comme vous pouvez le voir elle développe de nombreux sites floraux et elle devient de jour en jour de plus en plus frosty. Donc en gros vous pouvez vous tourner vers Exotic Seed les yeux fermés et je lui donne une note de 9/10 pour sa vigueur, beauté, odeur pour la production on verra plus tard. Mais au vue des resultats mors de la phase croissance et debut de flo . Je m attend a de tres bons resultats 👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛Merci Exotic Seeds.

Day 127 53 Days of flower, First day of Week 18 Day 128 54 Days of flower Plants look good, they still have some white hairs though. Day 129 55 Days of flower Trimmed 1 bud from Plant B but it doesn't seem dry enough yet. Plants A and C look like they keep popping new hairs. Day 130 56 Days of flower Chopped Plants A and C and started hang drying them, they look great in my opinion. Day 131 7 Days of drying for B and D So the buds seemed dry and the stems snap so I jarred and trimmed. Looks like 3.5 ounces or or so but I didn't Weigh

Well she is doing excellent!! The smell is like earth, kush. But the smell of the stems are sweet like citrus, orange type smell. So sweet. The main branches are really strong so that means I trained her well. The thricomes are showing beautiful. She really enjoys her place and she is showing that. I can see that the Green Sensation is doing great. She still is stretching out but not so hard. I think she is almost stretched out. Man it is so amazing to see the whole process.😀

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und fängt langsam an zu riechen.

Oh boy my first ever harvest is making its way💜💚 Day 61: So these girls have been fattening their budsites and #3 isnt mad about how close the light is😅 these plants have really strong resistance and amazing genetics 🔥 On that note highly recommend Fastbuds seeds. First ever grow and these seed did not let me down. Amazing frost, incredible resistance againts overfeed and high temp (also low). Plant #1 and #2 are further into flower than #3. 3 has still almost 90% white hairs and definitely non tris that are cloudy. 1 and 2 however have almost all hairs turned to beatiful dark orange🧡 They still have ways to go before harvest. Might start flushing soon. Day 63: Morning fellow growers 🌅 💜 Checked trichomes this morning with my quite annoying small ass 30x lens. Almost impossible to see them but by the looks of it, atleast on lower buds almost all of em al clear. So imo they have still time to get fat 😎 i think ill start flushing when i see cloudy tris on top buds atleast 90% and chop down when 75/25 cloud/amber. So far my first grow has gone very well all things considered! What to remeber to do for my cookies and runtz, is that i will keep the cannopy level so i dont have one 120cm plant and two 60cm plants😂 also i have doubts about my offbrand light. Prolly will see 2 harvests trough and see if both times i get skinny nugs i will switch it out😎 stay lifted💚 Day 66: harvest is getting closer but seems like trichomes are mostly glassy still. Been feeding normally but cut the gro out this week. So only calmabg bloom and micra. Ph round 6.1. It seems like buds wont get that much denser or wont do much anymore. Would love some opinions what to do at this point! Edit: since growquestions are bugging, decided to harvest 1 top from 2 plants. Just to see hows the high and some closer looks. Seems like i might be a day or two early for my liking but opinions and comments are appreciated 💚

The final week. I need to fill in some earlier weeks, but here it is.

Mi do un bel 4 come voto. Non alla genetica ma a me stesso per i continui errori su queste due piante. Cercherò di ricomprare questi semi o un incrocio simile. Grazie per aver guardato, messo mi piace e commentato. Al prossimo giro 🤜

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower As you can see in the pictures I did a little defoliation of the bigger fan leaves. She's pretty advanced compared to the other ladies. Buds sites are formed, strong aroma going. Her structure looks like a straight up garden bush. Took the LST great ended up with a nice open, spread canopy. With the defoliation done, buds will be getting much more light exposure and grow a bit more before gaining weight. Really happy with the results so far with this strain. That's it for this week One love!

I start this in a "safe zone" of plain potting mix. It takes a little over a week for them to get into the pre mixed nutes. They should jump this week when they do. I got tired of waiting and watered them with 20ml liquid kelp, 20ml liquid fish, and 5ml molasses per gallon of ph 6 water. Roughly 2-1-1 to give them a boost on day 2 week 2. This week was a success. Pest have been controlled and the plants made progress. One plant gg4 #3 is behind the others. There's a tree top that throws shade on it for about 1.5 hours longer than the other two in the morning. This will be fixed for week 3. It's warmed up considerably with the day time temp reaching 90 plus f for day 6 and 7 of this week. This should really speed up the vegative growth.

Va por la 4ta semana empieza a tener un poco de olor debel

This week I harvested these two Quebec Black Bud, it was really a great experience. Its unique appearance and these colors charm us from start to finish. Calm in vegetation but surprises us in flowering. I can't wait to see the final product 😇 Harvest : Pheno #1 day 56 flowering 119 total Pheno #2 day 60 flowering 123 total Training : They have received my hand manipulation since day 8 and this every day to force them to grow bigger and stronger until the addition of the scrog. I started my base again on a manifold. For now I'm having fun like that, let's see later 😁 I'll leave you with these beautiful photos and come back to you later. After drying and curing I realize how the color is an intense purple almost black, The genetics are not called Quebec black bud for nothing. the buds are really compact, I know that with the auto pot system I give myself a chance that they will be denser but I believe that hard training leaves its mark.

Esta semana, poca cosa a añadir, tan solo que continuamos como la semana pasada. Riegos alternos entre abono y agua, según tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal by BioBizz. Hemos aumentado la potencia de extracción para evitar olores.

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!
