December 20, Day 106 This week is a big challenge week. Nutrients are changing. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 5 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is nearly ready for flush. I added plain water to the reservoir today. I want to start clearing out the soil of all of its nutrients. This is living soil, but ice been spending the last 3 months adding bottled nutrients. I'll most likely keep plain water for the week and then I'll use Flawless Finish. For now it's just plain water. Her buds are really starting to look great. The pistils are starting to shrivel up and the aroma is getting super strong. She's still shedding leaves. None today, but I haven't really inspected her much. Not much to inspect to be honest. She looks great and is just packing on weight now. Number 2 is being moved to Overdrive today. Big Bud has been removed. Overdrive will be used for the next two weeks. Then flush. Her colas are huge and dense. There's a couple tops that look to be well over a foot long. However, those tops are too close to the light. So I'm sure they will foxtail on me. As long as the rest of the plant doesn't foxtail, I'll be very happy. It really doesn't look like I'll see any foxtails, but you never know. She got a full top feed with Overdrive and Recharge. Reservoir refill as well. It was indeed empty this morning. She is still a super thirsty girl. I'm still unsure about defoliating at the end of flower. I've been getting a lot of "don't do that's". I'll keep the question open until it's time for me to defoliate if I do at all. Maybe I'll defoliate just a couple days before harvest. I'm definitely taking all the fan leaves off before harvest. There are hundreds of them. That's my concern without defoliation. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 46.4% VPD: 1.43 kPa December 21, 2023 Absolutely nothing going on today. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 6 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is looking great! She's definitely ready for flushing. I'll start the Flawless Finish in the next watering. I just have to wait for the reservoir to dry out and the soil to dry out some. Number 2 is her beastly self as ever. Nothing really to report today. Great cola production, smell is getting stronger and her water intake is as strong as ever. She hasn't touched the reservoir yet. It seems like an every other watering, the reservoir is completely left alone. She's already down to 22% moisture level. It's crazy how thirsty she is. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 45.6% VPD: 1.45 kPa December 22, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 7 Drying I didn't snap test today. She is very close to done drying. Maybe a couple more days. Maybe a little less. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 looks like she's almost ready to go. Flushing has commenced. I removed the wick system and emptied the reservoir. Now it's top feed Flawless Finish for the next week or two. I got some trichome pics with my new microscope. My photography sucks, so the majority are blurry. I'll post the good ones. Number 2 needed a top feed today. The reservoir is just under half full now. Around 1.5 gallons every other day. It feels more like a gallon a day. She's still super thirsty. The buds are getting pretty dense and heavy now. A couple branches are starting to get weighed down. One of them will absolutely need support. The others should be fine. At this point in the grow, it's really a matter of watering and clearing out the dead leaves. Not much else to do except stare in awe of the masterpiece of a tree I have created. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 45.6% VPD: 1.45 kPa December 23, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 8 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 got a full top feed gallon of Flawless Finish today with some runoff. She has amber trichomes, lots of cloudy and just a few clear. She will be ready in about 7 or so days. She looks great! More weight gain. Especially in the lower buds of the canopy. I'd also like to note how vibrant her pistils are. Such a bright orange with the light they look like they are glowing. Number 2 is insanely thirsty. She needed another gallon of water and a full reservoir refill. So she is definitely drinking a gallon of water now. There was a bit of runoff, but not much. Today she was at 20% moisture content. I normally wait for 15% to 18% but today, I really wanted some runoff. The goal is to get both the wick system active and the soil to reset itself with more moisture. That should last a couple days. Other than that, her colas are insanely large now. They are dense and fat. Although, the tallest cola absolutely has light burn. The very top is white and fluffy. Definitely bleached. Now I know what that looks like. However, the rest of the cola looks fantastic. Just the very top is no good. That's ok though. There's plenty to go around. She still has like 4 weeks left. Including the flush stage. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 43.3% VPD: 1.50 kPa December 24, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Complete Trimmed and jarred at 41 grams. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is doing well. There was quite a bit of runoff yesterday. Well, more than I thought. I think I need to wait for her to really dry out before another flush. She hasn't started fading yet, but I expect it to start in the next week or so. She's still packing on weight from what I can tell. Not much, but the lower branches are starting to lean a tiny bit. I can assume a bit more while she finishes up. Number 2 looks fantastic. Her colas are getting fatter everyday. Also, I'm not seeing any swelling yet. Just growth. She will be needing a top watering tomorrow. The bottom feed system is working, but not as well as I'd like. Other than that. Not much going on today. Just trimming Strawberry Gorilla 1. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 45.8% VPD: 1.44 kPa December 25, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 1 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 got a full gallon top flush. Not much runoff as I expected. I'll wait a good 3 to 4 days before I flush again. She doesn't seem to be ready for the fade yet, but her leaves are starting to lighten up a bit in some places. I expect her to start fading in a few days. She has a good week left so there should be some really pretty colors before the end. Also, her buds are definitely getting heavier. I have a couple more branches that are starting to sag a bit from the weight. Number 2 got a full top feed today. No reservoir though. That's more than half full. Her colas are getting huge. Every single one is super dense and identically shaped. They are all around the same size as well with the exception of a few larger ones in the back. The largest will definitely suffer light burn for the rest of the grow. However, it's still getting super fat. I'll just cut the bleached parts off when I harvest. Still a super nice cola. I'm wondering if I should have kept up with the Big Bud for another week. But I believe Overdrive is for the bulking stage and not Big Bud. So maybe I did it right. Who knows. Lol. Well, the plant knows. Anyway, she has a great smell and I couldn't be happier with her progress. The lowest parts of the plant are pretty underdeveloped. Those will most likely just go in the trim. Or I'll grind it up untrimmed and keep the kief. We shall see. Maybe I'll stick it all in a separate jar and smoke that while the rest is curing. 🤔 I also need to mention the one cola who is suffering light burn and crazy bleaching. It's only that one, but it's still pretty bad. A lesson for me as well as what it looks like for future reference. I wonder if that one cola will cause any issues for the rest of the plant. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.3° RH: 49.5% VPD: 1.33 kPa December 26, 2023 I ordered some AC Infinity supplemental lighting. I'm hoping it helps prevent too many popcorn buds. It might be too late for Gorilla Cookies 1, but The Beast has plenty of time left to bulk up and pack on weight. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 2 Curing My hydrometers are all wrong I think. None of them have the same reading, and I have no idea which one is the correct reading. They are actually pretty far apart in the humidity. 10% swings. Almost 20% in one case. It's ridiculous. And they all came from the same packaging. Shame. I just need to guess now. Great. Anyway, I'm working on it. I'll figure out which one is the most accurate and base use that for a basis. And I'll use the reading from the other ones to set a basis for them. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is looking good. She's hanging out finishing up. No water needed. Her lower buds are really putting on weight. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally bents some branches with my leg. Some buds got popped off and a single branch broke. She doesn't seem to be affected by it, but I'll keep an eye. Honestly, there's nothing I can really do now. She's in the home stretch. She could even be harvested in the next couple days. But I'll hold off for the next week or so, maybe less. Number 2 is the same deal. Looking great, packing on weight and being her beastly self as always. She needs no water today and nothing else. Tomorrow she will be getting a dose of recharge and I think it will be the last dose for her in this run. She has about a week and a half left of bloom before the maturing stage starts I think. I could be overshooting the days by a bit, but always good to be prepared. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.1° RH: 51.3% VPD: 1.29 kPa

Start of week six we start seeing rapid growth from all plants in height and bud production. 1 of the ladies is an absolute freak but in all the good ways. Shes reaching a meter in length and is going to have 5 slender long kolers. The rest are all around the 80cm mark minus the two under achievers which are at the 70 cm mark which is amazing as the plants are supposed to be the size at harvest. Not changed much apart from excluding the voodoo juice nutrients ,adding another 600w light to the tent and a tiny bit of defoliation. My flat is starting to smell amazing. Sometimes I bury my nose in the outlet pipe and inhale a deep breath. Haaaah

Ok things are moving.... they must... time doesn't stop. I have a lot of new stuff. And I am cloning everything. (This diary will only end when it wont accept any more info or seeds) so I have labeled pics. And I will place my newts correctly soon. But for those who know I only really use General Hydroponics. If anybody has questions don't be hesitant to ask... I know there is info that I am not so upfront about. But all and all I think everyone is growing good. Well except for my bitch (slurricane). One week she is good and then sh*t .... wtf... I think she will like the California Sun. ( its really different here!!!! ) I will start introducing Dutch Buckets ( 3 gallon ... DIY ) some plants are telling me they need it ( Gorilla Zkittles ). And let's not forget about DVG she is still playing lock out games. But I have a feeling about it. Fuck it let's play. 😎

420Fastbuds-Week10 GelatoAuto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 3 gorgeous girls. Did a defoliation taking off almost all the fan leafs. Getting about a 70/30 to cloudy to amber trichs so they'll be getting the chop this week. All in all very Happy Growing

266 grams out of all 4 plants, roughly over half elbow. Went with grove bags. Did 5 day dry then put into totes for few days and bagged after trimmed. Sticky buds with the piney nose to it with heavy gas .

Can’t wait for harvest but trichs telling it’s not ready yet. Smell is incredible- fresh and juicy. Top colas looking ready but down part still needs more time. Partial harvest? What would u do? Don’t want to overripe. What’s ur opinion?

Malheureusement j'ai perdu une féminisée du nouveau mixpack de chez Fastbuds et une autre qui ne se porte pas très bien qui vont être remplacée par des auto ( gorilla coockies + mimosa cake)

28/10/25 Nutrients change today ( a day early ) because i didnt like how she smelt, so flushes, filled hit with 400ml sleeps then flushed, refilled and nutrients Floramax veg 1 Floramax Rezin plus Floramax flowering enhancer Floramax Organabud Green Planet vitathrive Isn cal mag Green planet massive bloom Green planet bud booster ( 30ml scoops x 4 ) Cyco platinum series silica Sleeps with the fishez ( HOCI ) Hit 4.8 e.c, changed 100L got 2.3-2.4e.c, 6.1ph. Used a lot but wanted to get rid of the Green planet line plus the ISN cal mag as im switching out to sensi cal mag Week 3 here we go! 29/10/2025 Light defoilation trying to use the scrogg net as much as possible to get as much light in as i can

9/21 No video upload so no update 9/22 Week 10 update... finally Looks good but going to add more Phos due to some red stems showing upping to 3ml/g 9/23 Reducing Bloom nuets @10% a day for a couple, down to the 80% mark now Add Soul Peak PK to mix as well as Koolbloom need to use up the Peak and we want to see if it brings anything special. Be in flush within 7-10 days on all but the sativa FF2 Vids up 9/25 Adjusted nuets slightly 9/26 Like where the plants are so leaving nuets as is 9/27 And the tricones have over ruled me they are getting ready, 80-90% white 10-20% clear so taking the nuets to our ripening doses. Up PK down Bloom nuets

Day. 2 - watering and LST. May switch to blooming nutrients today. New product called C-results (organic). I will be using this.. only needs to be applied once.

Good week of growth. Bud sites are starting to come together. Brooke is still really close to light, will see what happens. Bent branches are doing well. 10-2 Buds are starting to look like buds. Got first good photos of forming colas.

This past week the ladies have recovered well , it will be my last week of veg and then I will be flipping the lights . So far so good on the topping of obi#1 shes recovering well just giving her abit more time before we go ahead and change the lights . I'd like to thank every one for stopping by the diary and showing me their love and support ! Remember to check my diaries daily for updates ! Started flowering on Saturday marked off as Day#1F -Happy Growing!

Neem oil + B-52 sprayed on leaves last week made them curl down a bit. But she’s feeling good. I think some N is needed (some leaves are about to turn yellow). It’s definitely time to start with NPK nutes! Day 18 update: changed reservoir solution (removed the one with Voodoo Juice, Tarantula, Piranha and Rhino Skin) and added the first NPK nutes. 1ml/L of Connoisseur A+B didn’t trigger the PH Perfect formula in the solution: it decreased the PH a little, but not totally. I had to fix with some PH- from General Hydroponics. With a starting PPM of 130 (tap water), actual PPM in the reservoir is 547. Will see how runoff one changes over next days. Day 19 update: on day 18 I noticed a burned leaf. Today I got a couple more, which means that some overfeeding’s going on. I immediately switched back to tap water with PH 5.8. I don’t know if that’s related to foliar solution of B-52 + Neem oil, or to nutes I gave her for one week (fungi and bacteria + silica). What I understood here is that Silver Haze doesn’t like nutes too much. Will be giving half dosage and not more in the future! Day 21 update: I had some days with just tap water and the baby seems healthier now. Since runoff PPM was 137, I added NPK nutes + B-52 + Voodoo Juice + Rhino Skin back, with dosage of 1/6 of the usual 2ml/L: 21L of reservoir water + a few more liters for eventual evaporation + 7ml of each product instead of 42ml each. New PPM in the reservoir is 234.

Doing a bit of defoliation thats it Giving all the plants more clear water because i overfeed them. Next time definitely with scrog . Good genetics love it

Day 42, start of flowering week 3: they are growing nicely, had to do a lot of defoliation on each plant, except the one in the 3L pot. Day 43, I started to discover that the roots are coming out aggressively from the bottom of the pot. I did not move the ones in the back, but I guess same thing. The one in the 3L pot doesn't have this problem. Day 45: getting really excited for these guys! I'm trying to keep the temp and humidity low, and I hope I can achieve some of the purple color :P any advice on that? day46: defoliaton

19.06.2026-22.06.2026(25.06.2026)

Hey all! She has finally started to flower! To see the transition, its nothing but magical! I fed her Green Rush Bloom nutrients (1tsp/1L) with 1 L of water at pH 6. She has began to really stretch now. The light is lowered down at 16 inches. Will feed her Cal-Mag, and seaweed extract this week. Maintaining the RH between 55 to 65. Removing the fan leaves that blocks the lower buds.
