_____ Week 12 | Day 85 - 91 | 5th week of Flower ______ Day 79🌞 oh yes... the smell when I open the tent becomes more and more intense. The buds also look more and more frosty... I think the extra side light pays off, where normally there is little or no light, the buds look just as frosty as the top colas. I hope you can see that well in the pictures... unfortunately I don't have much space to take good pictures of the pages... Only LPH 2 & 3 can be seen well from the front. Amnesia Haze: Amnesia, as expected, is much slower in development than LPH and Biscotti. Number 1 looks a bit wilder and scruffy than 2 and 3. Also from the development 2 and 3 are further and form already diligent trichomes Biscotti: both biscottis look identical, same pheno I think. development is very good and already looks very frosty Lemon Power Haze: LPH 2 & 3 look identical, with number 3 looking frostier and furthest along in terms of development. LPH number 1 looks totally different, the buds look quite small, and it also looks different. I have to think about something for watering. I love my plants but watering 8 pieces in such a small space is no fun hehe. At the moment I water them manually via a small water pump, the whole thing is very fast but I still have to dislocate myself every time to get to the back plants. this is not the yellow from the egg :D For the next grow, the plants have to be higher and I'm thinking of an automatic water supply. Actually, watering my plants calms me down when I do it with the watering can, but under different conditions...Possibly also fewer plants but more training. When the tent is empty again, I start to implement my plans. I'm also thinking about growing 1 or 2 plants in a DWC system. Whether I make something myself or buy something ready-made is not yet clear. If you have any tips, feel free to write to me. Day 81 🌞💧 - Today was feeding time again, as announced again after the 3rd day. I mixed a little more than 25 liters and provided each plant with ~3 liters Day 84 🌞💧 - Three days are over again and the plants are hungry again. 3 liter each Plant, small drain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 560 Watt - 2x 200 Watt Toplight - 4 x 40 Watt Lightbars PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 22,1° Hum. avg. - 56,3 % RLH

Day 19 of flower. Just defoliated. Wondering if I shouldnt cut out more branches. We will see how it looks tomorrow and decide. I am getting good light penetration even lower down. So we will see.

- 2nd round of veg nutes; double the amount from last week & slightly upping cal mag - Keeping humidity at ~55-65% and temp between 70-80 when lights are on and 60-70 at night (lights off)

Gonna push her another week or so

She is still an ABSOLUTE BEAST. Still vegging out . If she hasn’t switched herself in one more week i may have to manipulate the light schedule to force her . I just don’t know how it will affect the other autos in my tent right now 🤷‍♀️

Has been working in the other end of the country for the last 2 weeks Then I come home to the girl! Really booming! Flower everywhere 😍 Just support her today with some bamboo sticks Really shitty weather windy as F

Day 10 0,15l x plant pure water pH 6.2 Week 2 I transplanted the plants into 4l pots, 80% biobizz light mix substrate and 20% humus, added 5 grams of Mycormaxx per pot. For fertilization this week I will continue with vitalink Plant Start to avoid over-fertilization of the seedlings. pH 6.0-6.2 addition of Advanced Nutrient Sensi CalMag 1 ml to balance soft water. I keep the soil moist but not wet, and spray 2-3 times a day with the same solution.

Week 9: Flower - The First Harvest & Final Countdown! ✂️🌿 THE BIG CHOP IS DONE! Gorilla Z #1 has been harvested, and we're officially in the drying phase. Meanwhile, the remaining ladies are marching toward their own finish lines. Gorilla Z #1 - HARVESTED! 🎉 She's down! After weeks of growth, recovery from overwatering, and pushing through to the end, this girl finally got the chop. Trichome Check: Mostly cloudy/milky (peak THC production ✓) A few amber trichomes starting to show Minimal clear trichomes Harvest Timing: Honestly? I was in a rush—ran out of flower to smoke! 😅 But the trichomes were in a good window, so it worked out. Sometimes necessity makes the decision for you. Could've waited for more amber for a heavier effect, but she was ready enough. What's Next: Drying phase begins now Aiming for slow dry (60°F, 60% humidity if possible) Then comes the cure—patience will be tested again! The Relief: Finally got some homegrown coming down the pipeline. The timing couldn't be better!

Sooooo impressed with the size & quality of the buds😳 Super dense & sticky✂️ The smell is sweet fruity mix berries🤤🍓

Not Good! I am wating new PH meter, my broken! Now i shed all my bushes with good clean water and add ventilation.

I think I'm missing a week or 2 but topped twice... I run feeding on feel... living soil in hugelkultur with worms.. this is 2nd run

Not a bad week. Left unattended with nutrient feed. One got slightly over watered ,so I removed water line for a day or two to let it dry down. PH perfect nutrients really make it easy to have a low maintenance grow. Going to let them be for another week while I decided if I want to top or just tie down. Will update pictures and such as the week progresses.

Blütetag 80 | Tag 140 gesamt 🌡️ Klima & Umfeld Draußen wieder deutlich kühler – merkt man im Zelt direkt. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt aktuell eher bei 55–60 %, entsprechend läuft die Abluft wieder deutlich aktiver. 👉 Insgesamt: kühl & feucht, aber noch stabil im Rahmen. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus Triangle Sherbet Kush 🍬 Optisch seit gut zwei Wochen eigentlich „durch“. Kaum noch frische Härchen, Blätter ziehen sich zurück – klassischer Endzustand. 👉 Aber: Trichome bleiben hartnäckig cloudy, Amber ist praktisch nicht vorhanden. Sie steht stabil, baut nicht mehr groß um – aber dieser letzte Reifeschritt kommt einfach nicht richtig. White Gushers 33 🍇 Hier passiert noch sichtbar was – aber sehr selektiv. Die Buds quellen weiter auf, aber: 👉 sie ist noch nicht komplett milchig, vereinzelt sind noch klare Trichome vorhanden. Neue Pistils kommen weiterhin – aber hauptsächlich an den Stellen, wo sie ins Foxtailing geht. 👉 Und genau das ist der Punkt: Sie war eigentlich schon mal „fertig“ – hat dann aber wieder angefangen weiterzuschieben. Dieses Foxtailing verzögert jetzt die eigentliche Endreife wieder, weil ständig neue, unreife Bereiche dazukommen. 👉 Der Großteil wirkt ready – aber einzelne Zonen ziehen das Ganze nach hinten. Und jetzt wird auch klar, wo der Name herkommt: 👉 sie wird erst jetzt richtig „white“. 👃 Geruch Süß, fruchtig, leicht cremig – dazu eine dezente würzige Basis. Kein brachiales Gas, sondern eher fein, rund und layered. Beim Öffnen kommt inzwischen auch ein leichter floraler Touch durch. ⏳ Reife & Timing Das eigentliche Thema bleibt: 👉 Kaum Amber auf beiden Pflanzen. Die Kush ist durch – aber ohne den letzten Reifeschritt. 👉 Die Gushers dagegen ist noch nicht mal komplett milchig und verzögert sich zusätzlich durch das Foxtailing. Das macht die Entscheidung nicht einfacher: Eine steht eigentlich schon zu lange, die andere zieht sich künstlich nach hinten. Kennt ihr das auch? Optisch fertig aber Trichome bleiben ewig cloudy kaum Amber, egal wie lange man wartet 👉 Wartet ihr weiter oder sagt ihr irgendwann: das ist ihr Peak? Schreibt mir das mal in die Kommentare, wie ihr das handhabt 👇 Oder wenn ihr eher fertig seid als ich – 👉 haut mal eure Tricks raus 😄 Vielleicht ist die Lösung ja auch ganz simpel: einfach früher anfangen… 🔜 Ausblick Ich lasse beide erstmal weiter laufen. Ich bin jetzt ein paar Tage weg – also kein tägliches Micromanagement und kein permanentes Checken der Trichome. 👉 Vielleicht ist genau das der Moment, wo sich endlich was tut. Einfach laufen lassen – und wenn ich zurückkomme, hat sich im besten Fall genau der Schritt gezeigt, auf den ich die ganze Zeit warte. Manchmal passiert mehr, wenn man einfach mal nichts macht. Grow on 🌱 🇬🇧 Flower Day 80 | Day 140 total 🌡️ Climate & Environment Temps dropped again outside – clearly noticeable in the tent. Humidity is around 55–60%, so the exhaust is working more actively again. 👉 Overall: cool & humid, but stable. 🌿 Plant Status Triangle Sherbet Kush 🍬 Looks finished for about two weeks now. No fresh pistils, fading leaves – classic end-stage look. 👉 But: trichomes remain mostly cloudy, almost no amber. Stable, but that final ripening step just won’t kick in. White Gushers 33 🍇 Still evolving – but very selectively. Buds are swelling further, but: 👉 not fully milky yet, still some clear trichomes present. New pistils are forming, mainly on foxtailing areas. 👉 That’s the key point: She already looked finished once – but then started pushing again. This foxtailing delays the final ripening, because new, immature parts keep forming. 👉 Most of the plant looks ready – but some areas keep pushing it back. And now the name finally makes sense: 👉 she’s only now turning properly “white”. 👃 Smell Sweet, fruity, slightly creamy with a subtle spicy base. Not overpowering gas – more refined and layered. Also getting a light floral note when opening the tent. ⏳ Ripeness & Timing Main issue: 👉 Still barely any amber. Kush is basically done – but missing the final step. 👉 Gushers is not even fully milky yet and is further delayed by foxtailing. That makes timing tricky: One is already overdue, the other keeps extending itself. Do you experience this too? Looks finished but trichomes stay cloudy almost no amber 👉 Do you wait longer or call it peak? Drop it in the comments how you handle this 👇 Or if you finish earlier than me – 👉 share your tricks 😄 Maybe the solution is simple: just start earlier… 🔜 Outlook I’ll let them run a bit longer. I’ll be away for a few days – so no micromanaging and no constant checking. 👉 Maybe that’s exactly what they need right now. Let them run – and hopefully that final step shows up while I’m gone. Sometimes less control means better results.😉 Grow on 🌱

The heat stress is always a problem in my grows but now I have a new climatization system that can really help me !
