Getting close!! Chopped a bunch of used up leaves off, took some microscope shots yesterday, got a boom arm coming so I don't have to rely on my steady hand for the microscope shots but still looks cloudy/clear w/o an amber to be seen when looking at the trichomes as of Monday. Pistils are still mostly white but rapidly advancing. Fastbuds advertises a chop day between 63 and 70 so we're in the window and heading in the right direction. A chop before the end of the week is possible.

hardy sativa, good taste profile with notes of peach and pink starburst, good yield, does in fact finish fast. likes training and grows robustly, yielding large buds that are quite dense given this strain’s sativa predominance. overdried a bit this time around, by overcorrecting for the summer humidity.

2/2 12am Hotel is looking great, got a great feeling about this. 2/3 1:31M BILLY MAY'S VERSION OF STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT....THE GREATEST SONG FOR STONER EARS...SO MOVING. 2/3 12:01 PM I have all three of the trailer Park boys going in one tent. I cut Ricky down way way down and I’ll cut bubbles back a little bit. I want them all to flower at the same time and the Ricky plant has been growing since September so I can cut quite a bit off. She’ll be just fine. It’s kind of funny looking so they’re kind of trailer trash looking. It’s all perfect what I lack in ability. I’m making up for in showmanship so if I screw up, it’s on purpose. It’s part of the show you wouldn’t understand.🎥

They are getting frosty, sadly so far no intense colors, but lets see how they will look towards the end of bloom :) WW is growing significantly bigger buds, while RP is growing smaller, but a little more frosty flowers. VPD sadly is way too high, but i cant get the temps down and in later flower i dont wanna increase humidity.

Ready

Esta es una genética de un olor muy fuerte y pesado se siente intenso desde la vegetación , es una variedad muy resinosa con unos colores morados hermosos , probando las flores cuando terminó el secado y ahora curando las flores se siente un sabor terroso , al principio no me gusto ya que nunca había probado este , pero después al seguir fumando se siente un sabor final muy agradable. Esta genética se conservará para futuros cruces y experimentar algo nuevo. muy conforme con la producción de cada clon

Hey all welcome to the first week of flower! So I was lucky enough to be home this week and feel blessed to have helped the lady’s through there transition to flower. The girls got a feed of both veg and flower nutes this week as the transition to flower. They have moved up to 3ltrs of water every second day as there must be a full 10 gal of roots now. The main worry we had was that the gold leave would out grow the indica dominant big buds and super skunks but so far the big bud is stretching the hardest out of them all (only by 2”’s) so the canopy really has needed no maintenance in the first week of flower. Lights are being lifted about a inch to 2 inches every day and all seams good there. If you have been following along the double feed a week is holding up well and no signs of nute burn. We did have a issue with Sulfur deficiency in big bud 4 it seams that some how her soil ph has again spiked up to around 7.3 so she was flushed out with correct ph water and then had a feed of nutes and Epsom salts to get her back in line. She has bounced back and now has green new growth not yellow. From this mornings empty of the de humidifier to taking photos about a hour ago the girls are all starting to make the tips of there buds and showing strong signs of flower on there tops. All plants had a solid run in with the snips and got there 7 day flower defoliation and will get the same around day 21 then left to do there thing. It’s crazy how many leaves these girls have produced over the last 2 weeks. Well until next week happy growing to you all 🌲🌲🌲

9/22/2024 Added 80W LED lights below the canopy. Tilted the other 200W fixture to point into the canopy. Relocated circulation fans to keep air moving through the bush! Great flower development is continuing. The stretch is almost complete, but it is still stretching. Super cropping may be right around the corner. With one bucket removed from the system, the new system volume is right around 7-8 gallons. 9/23/2024 Forced to do a water change after a massive spike in PPM up to 2400. Cycled the system with about 5 gallons of pH water and pumped off about 4 gallons. Replaced 3 gallons containing appropriate nutrient concentration to get PPM back to 800 -900 range. Increased lights to 85%. Super cropped some of the lanky main stems that were growing right at the lights. Light directly over the plant is pretty much maxed out on height at this point. Looking to increase intensity by the end of this week to 90% and then to 100% by the end of week 5. Continuing to defoliate larger fan leaves a few per day. 9/24/2024 Plant is looking incredibly healthy even after the water issues. Some trichomes starting to develop on sugar leaves and flowers. There are tons of flower sights, I am excited to see how they continue to develop!!! 9/25/2024 Moved the light up to its last hanging position. There are only a few more inches of adjustment left. Trying to avoid late supercropping if I can. 9/26/2024 Pruning large fan leaves and fan leaf overgrowth. Looking to leave a lot of the smaller leaves for sugar trim collection if possible. Humidity is not an issue yet, but working to maintain 50-60% is getting close to maxing out my setup. Continuing with light defoliation will hopefully help in managing humidity. 9/27/2024 Have been adding pH-adjusted water as well as reduced nutrient concentration to keep PPM 800-900. Prioritizing bloom nutrients and keeping small amounts of micro and grow in the mix, diamond nectar at around 4mL/gallon.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well! Keep those eyes peeled for next week! Cheers😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

Started under 40w led light.

New week, The plants have been moved and the lighting cycle adjusted to finish flowering. Lots of surprises with the free seeds and even the ones I bought. The autoflowering ones are all different; it's a real mixed bag. I still have a few autoflowering seeds to grow, and then it's time for feminized seeds and crossbreeding varieties for my own creations...

Left her to start regenerate and came back to better development than I thought side branches are now streaching out nicely and the one I topped worked nicely and is starting to grow at regular pace and the top node I FIMimed 2 baby nodes are popping out and nodes below very healthy and streaching outwards and one top node fell off but the 2 underneath are streaching strongly

7/1: This plant has been extremely fun to watch do its thing over the last few weeks. Those little mistakes I made or neglected in my first grow have significantly helped me get off on the right foot this time around. Not to mention, I feel that the plant/genetics is fairly low maintenance. As I mentioned at the end of last week's entry, I started a little LST on the lower most node. Today, I have added landscaping staples to the second lowest node to allow it to stretch out and get more light from under the quickly growing top canopy. In addition to starting LST on the second lowest node, I did bring the light down to 16 inches above canopy at 60% power. This gives me a PPFD reading of roughly 750, which could be inaccurate due to using the phone app, but it still gives me a good idea of how much I should bump light power up each time. 7/3: Today was a big day for the Mrs. Gorilla Cookie. I decided it was time to add in a bit more soil as well as some amendments. I added 3tbsp of Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 and 1tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4. I then reapplied the landscaping staples to continue LST. The plants seem to be responding well to the light increase that I applied on 7/1. At the time, I was worried it would be too much, but the plant is really soaking it up and praying toward the light. I may increase the light a bit more at the end of the week. In addition, I plan to try out a self watering base toward the end of the week. I will going out of town soon for the remainder of July and need to test the base before I leave. I do have buddies that will help, but I would like things to be as easy as possible for them. I also hear great things on these self watering bases and if it works out will, I will definitely incorporate them into future grows. 7/6: The end of week 4 has come and this plant is really starting to kick into high gear. I do think adding in the bloom amendments really helped. Great, speedy growth, and looking green and healthy. Pistils have started to form and she's definitely starting to get a little stank. The lights are still at 60% but due to the constant growth the canopy raised causing the light to be 12 inches close and PPFD up to 950. I did notice a tiny bit of tacoing so I lifted the light a couple inches. I am now trying to keep them at a constant 14 inches above the canopy with a PPFD of around 850. I will likely hold off on adjusting the brightness for another few days, as I am liking the results I'm seeing. I started the plant on her self-watering base yesterday when I would have usually given it a feeding. Its only been a day, so its too soon to tell just how well its working, but the soil seems to be at a perfect moisture at all times. I did feed a little from the top today to help some of the nutrients that may still be at the top work its way into the pot. Overall, solid week. This grow is already shaping up to exceed my expectations and I feel pretty good about making it through the Veg stage in one piece. On to the flowering stage! WEEK 4 AVG TEMP: 72.9F WEEK 4 AVG HUMIDITY: 64.1%

Die Girl Scout Cookies verläuft in der vergangenen Woche insgesamt unauffällig und stabil. Erste Blüte- bzw. Vorblüteanzeichen sind vorhanden, womit auch sie sich im Übergang in die frühe Blütephase befindet. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Pflanzen zeigte sie bislang keinen nennenswerten Stretch. Das Höhenwachstum blieb moderat, die Internodienlängen haben sich kaum verändert. Die Pflanze behält dadurch ihre bisherige Struktur.

It was my first grow and I really screwed it up a lot, but it resisted all my beginner mistakes, pests, stress, being without irrigation, irrigation without measuring PH, revegetation, etc. I love her, really, in love with this strain. It is a genetics with a very relaxing effect, recommended for those who cannot sleep at night. shoutout for trimix, very good prices for begginers> https://www.trimix-pro.com/

I really enjoyed growing this African beauty, really exclusive and unique genetics. I advise to everyone who love staiva, easy fast strain. Thanks to everyone who follows my grow reports, and Tropical Seeds Company.😘

Hey guys and welcome to start of Week 8! 🌻 Today is day 21 of flower so i went ahead and cut most of the plats Fanleaves off. It took a while but now the Airmovement is improved and the humidity should also be lower. I also hope I didn‘t stress them too much. From now on they will be reseaving less and less Nitrogen going forward. I hope the colours come through as well 🤞🏻 Thanks for following along and I will keep updating the progress. Happy growing 🍀

I’ve been busy, so has she I will cross her with the regular skunk. Hopefully it’s a male and get some seeds.

START WEEEK Day 98 4/24/22 +With the exception of the cranky girl, the room is exploding with incredible sights and smells. +Lowered ppm just a bit to 800. I guess? that I will decrease to nothing and get prepared for harvest +Kolas are exploding with neon carrot pistols. Very Beautiful +Smell is average, and increasing +light is 12" away from tallest kola and up to 24 for the very shortest. I have 4" of lift left. Should I raise? +It's summer in the South. Temp and Humidity vary greatly, daily. Days in 80's Nights upper 60's. Humidity anywhere from 58% to +Each plant has developed at it's on rate so this week I will continue selective defoliation. +Almost forgot. I am going to try some Epsom salt in an attempt to get the cranky girl to feel a little better. THINKING OUT LOUD ?Cranky girl has been weird from day one. Maybe genetics might be me. I was rough on the girls to start with. She however, was always super green, slow to grow, squatty, huge fan leaves and now (according to growmies) now possibly has a magnesium deficiency. I am critical of myself but I am actually starting to lean toward genetics. Just a note. This was the only plant that I did 0 training to. Just defoliation (light). Nice that I had 3 others to give me backup. ?Need to take a look at some trimming tools on Amazon. Bare Essentials (right :)) THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH MY MOST RECENT GROW QUESTION. AS ALWAYS ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, GOOD OR BAD ARE ALWAYS WELCOME😁 SO... GOING TO TRY 4 DIFFERENT STRAINS ON THIS NEXT RUN. BLACKBERRY MOONROCKS, BLUE COOKIES, BANANNA SHERBERT AND A RE-RUN OF A PLATINUM OG. MIGHT ALSO DO IN SOIL. WHO KNOWS? I will be germinating in just a couple of days.
