Gained 4-5 inches growth on every plant since moving outdoors. Been feeding compost tea I formulate myself brewed in concentrated and diluted 50-50 I’m ramping up my soil nutes for a week window I’m going out of town and having someone water for me. I getting exactly the results I’ve intended so far and couldn’t be happier. I’m rotating neem and bt. I’ve top dressed castings and guano as well as some other light dressing of other organics to promote micronutrients, I can’t recall everything as I tend to sort of wing it as I see fit. Soil coloration near black and teaming with life great aeration as green mulch becomes more prominent above ground, signifying penetration and good oxygen supply to established cannabis rootball. Teaming with the smell of signifying proper biome health. As spring establish new life the health of the yard has me feeling optimistic for the rest of the season. Most plants have near doubled in size and kicking off new stems from most recent topping. Survived a couple colder nights also which I hope to be the last that low for the rest of the year near 38-40 F*. Hardly fazed plants remain healthy as ever. Cages are up hotter temps are on the way.

8/1 Took another video but didn't upload either videos when I was in town. I'll have to upload later. I have a lot going on and I need to consult my diary more often. The Temps dramatically changed. I watered yesterday just a few that were light but then it poured all night. This morning things looked SUBSTANTIALLY better. I think as long as I can get some sunlight the next few days things will be alright. That streak of weather in the 100s really did a number on me and my plants. Everytime I go they seem to be looking better so I hope that they bounce back and I don't lose anything after all this work. Plants seem "strong" though. They appear very healthy. This just seems like a mistake I made that was substantially worsened by severe thunder storms we weren't supposed to get. If they don't come back before rain I may move the plants that haven't recovered yet inside the barn for the night. It really depends. I want them to dry out. I'm thinking of going and putting a fan in the cage on the smart pots. I just need to keep an eye on them. UPDATE: I was worriedly watching my plants from the cams and got a message from my father saying my plants were "REALLY DROOPY." I got there and noticed they were WAY worse then earlier and it was sunny and 70's. I got my dude on the phone and sent him several pictures. Luckily I had a second opinion also from my father. A 3cu ft bag of 707 is 22 gallons. These pots were light like that. They just have a seven foot plant in them lol. I'm so happy. I was planning on bringing them Inside tonight in case of ANY rain, luckily I was able to ascertain THE REAL problem, consult my diary and askother growers. Things are looking good. I'm so happy I'm not overwatered. 8/2 Thank the Lord! And my father for his constant vigilance and my commercial buddy for always being there for me. I went over this morning and everything is back up. Plants definitely got stressed though. I think I was OVER and UNDER watering during those days where it was 100 degrees. It'd 68 today. I say this because as soon as I watered the plants they started picking right back up. Luckily I had a dry bag of 707 to pick up and compare with my 20 gallon grow bags and had my father check the weight as well. He's a forester and told me the weight was about tge same. I gave the big blue cheese in the back closer to 2 gallons until I saw some water coming out the bottom. The reason I think I may have overwatered is that the water evaporated as i had watered during the day or at night but not the 10% that they needed. I didn't QUITEgive them all their 10% last time more like I split the difference and did a gallon amd half. Some did get two though. I noticed some light yellowing going up one of the plants that I've watered the most. These plants are transitioning fast to flower. I think I've got the watering schedule down better and that's "don't water them on a schedule". I'll have to individually take note of the plants. Also on that plant and a few others I see minor nute deficiencies so as soon as I can feed I'm going too. I'm going to show my buddy all my info and ask his advice before i take the next step though. I can't believe they made it through this. Talk about anxiety. Wow. UPDATE: Talked to my commercial buddy. He advised to pick off any of the dead leaves, (which I mostly already have there weren't many) and to wait until next water to feed. He broke it all down in a way i could understand. Then he broke the feeding down further for me so I now know where to start. He did say he thinks my only problem this year will be, "finding a place to store it" lol. I thought he was joking but he went out back and brought out five gallon buckets with screw top lids lol. This back and forth dialogue (with a professional) is seriously lowering my anxiety and giving me confidence that im doing the right thing. Hes never led my wrong and hes always been there. So has my dad. He said to take the old man out for coffee because he saved my ass! I opted for the bottle of whiskey instead. I'll be checking them later. I'm waiting to feed until next watering and I'm waiting to apply BT. I don't want to do anything to a plant that has been that stressed. I'm giving them a few days to chill. Then the twenties will get a quart of grow big, big bloom and calmag and I'll convert that measure to the same amount for the 30's, and 50's. I'm not sure EXACTLY how big that tote is but I think it's closet to 30 than to 40. So I've got a solid plan for the week. I think what I'll be looking to do next is get my supports up. The wind has been crazy but these plants (even when stressed) seemed super strong! Still no fungal stuff knock on wood. UPDATE: Had to take the car to the mechanic and snag my wheeler to make it home. I sefoliated quite a few bog yellow fan leaves and some smaller leaves down low. Plants went through some stress thats for sure. I HAD to leave my phone with the wife as she had a telehealth appointment so I couldn't take pictures. I wish I could've because things are looking great. I can't wait until things dry out a bit and I can feed! I'm STILL in awe of how my plants look RIGHT NOW and how the looked yesterday. Another buddy said If I didn't see it (and I didnt know you) I wouldn't have believed it was even the same garden! I'll check AGAIN later if my car is ready. I'm anxious to feed and get my supports up. Plants are STRONG though. 8/3 Plants looked great this morning. I did notice what looked like nute deficiencies on the plants I've watered most. After speaking with a few local growers I decided to water. I watered everything a gallon. The containers got more. The 10 got less. Then i mixed up a feeding solution of 1 tsp grow big 2 big bloom and .5 calmag and fed the 20s approx 1.5 pints. A little less for the 10 and a little more for the bigger pots. I'm going to go back over and if I see no negative effects from earlier I'll use the rest of the solution. I'm hoping this was the right decision. It hasn't been enough time but the bags were light. Not SUPER light but last time I waited it didn't work out well for me. Two local growers have told me theyve been watering daily and they have plants in raised beds and right in the ground. I want my watering to be in the morning anyway. Hopefully this works out. I'll update. UPDATE: Went back over and everything was standing up nice. They loved that water and the small dose of nures hasn't burned them so ill be able to use more next time. I used a Gatorade bottle thats 1.25 pints amd went from there. A total of two gallons was used on the garden. Things look amazing. Things are changing on the daily. I'm losing some leaves now. Well they aren't dropping off but I'm plucking them before they yet that far. I need to water in larger volumes I think. Plants are drying out too quick. Others are saying they are watering much more often as well. It really hasn't been raining and these plants are huge. I have lush green leaves but this transition and the added watering I think has leeched a lot of the nutrients from the soil. Since I have the fox farm that's what I'll be using. I still have a couple leaves that are destroyed by a fourkined plant bug. It's very identifiable so theres another I need to find. Also seeing chunks missing from leaves. I need to up my ipm game. I don't want to do more than one thing at a time though so I know what happened if anything goes wrong. Since i did the nutes today the spraying of BT or captain Jack's I'd going to have to wait. Despite losing these old fan leaves my plants are dense. Defoliating really helped with airflow. I also noticed some chlorosis on a few leaves. That's why I'm going to start doing the 10% minimum. I'm waiting until they are real dry then I'll give everyone (but big blue) their 10%. I got run off from big blue just from like a gallon amd a half today. I hope my 2 minute video uploaded. It says it dis but u bet it didn't. I'm trying again and I'm at 12%. Let's see if my patience lasts. Looks like it doesn't want to upload 8/4 Thunderstorms and heavy rain all night. It's supposed to rain steadily all day. Plants werent drooped or blown around looking or anything after this storm and I only have minimal supports up. I defoliated anything that needed it. Just a few yellow leaves on the bottom interior. More like nitrogen deficiency. I am watering to frequently though. Im noticing some chlorosis (minor) on old far leaves. Could just be that the soil is getting depleted but "if the brown surrounds your plant is drowned" and I noticed a few leaves like that. Just a couple bit i know what to look for. I hate to say it but i think ive almost got things dialed in for this grow. I will need to put up further supports. These are some STRONG plants. I shook them all off today. The seemed to love the nutes. Plants looked way better this morning than I was expecting. I need to up my watering volume to 10% everytime. I DID fine more pillar damage when defoliating and a four lined plant bug mark on the purple punch in the ten. 8/5 It's not raining right now but it Rained all day and night. Plants really seemed to likecthise nutes. I'll up it to a quart next feed. I defoliated what needed it. Found my FIRST totally yellow leaf of the season. Big old interior leaf i must've missed earlier. Smell has greatly increased. Seeing that these plants seem to have no ill effect from all this water I feel more confident about my ability to fully water them their 10%. Especially since they are massive plants. I have one daln near 8ft and it's damn near as wide. Real good airflow. I think this is gonna be my year. I certainly hope so. I need to get rid of that fourlined plant big but more importantly I need to deal with pillars proactively so next nice night I'm going to treat with bt. Super proud of myself so far. 8/6 Didn't rain much yesterday. In fact I stepped out my door and the sun was fully visible and bright while rain poured down around me. It wad a cool experience but the plants dodnt get much for water. I checked the weight this morning (heavy) and shook off the plants and did my normal morning inspection. I news to remove a pallet so I have more room. Plants are really trying to flower. Next week I'm gonna yet them with a stronger dose of nutes. Last year this was about the time I lost my crop. Knock on wood but this is the healthiest crop I've ever had. I MAY apply BT tonight. Haven't decided yet. I'll keep the diary updated. UPDATE: Went over to check the plants that were WET and HEAVY this MORNING because of the windstorm. If dried the bags out completely. Everything but the 10 was drooping right over like before. Good thing I've got some pretty good intuition. I took two videos. I gave everything their 10% 2 gallons each and for each container plant. Plants were back up by the time I was done adding supports. 8/7 Sunny this morning. Plants looked good. Had to defoliate some dead leaves. I can't believe those grow bags dried out so fast yesterday! Its just the wind was so strong! Plants were right sideways! They got some syrong roots thats for sure. One of them (my canary) seemed light this morning! But we are getting an inch and a half of rain starting tonight into tomorrow so im not watering ANYTHING. I'm not sure what I'm going to do IF anything. I added to my supports. I COULD put EVERYTHING in the barn where we put heavy equipment. I'll probably at least bring a couple inside in case something horrible happens. Things arecreally doing good. Flowering up nice. Found a cicada on one yesterday. First time I've ever seen one. I'll update with what I decide to do. UPDATE. My canary seems a little light and is losing lots more leaves im not sure if it's because of the transition to flower but I assume that has something to do with it. Plants still have MORE than enough leaves. Found a couple pillars and killed them. Took a video. I have one blueberry cheese that I hope doesn't have a fungal infection as it's losing more leaves. But it takes more water and is greener and fuller up top. I think I'm just worried because of last year. I've done what I can gor the storm so let's see what happens if I NOTICE it get too bad I can bring some indoors.

I had a few issues with this plant, and with all things considered, I'm very happy. She suffered some deficiencies and even under fed at times. She was chopped on day 79, and produced 51.1 grams (1.83 Oz) of frosty little Christmas trees. I will update the review once she has cured and after I've smoked her.

Fed and defoliated to start week 7. The plant looks good, the buds are on point, frosty, sticky and look as expected at this stage of the grow.

🌸 Week 10 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed, and the girls continue to impress with their flower development. 🌸🔥 The canopy is filling out nicely, and every pheno is putting more energy into building bigger, denser buds. It's exciting to see how each phenotype is expressing its own unique characteristics as flowering progresses. 📈 Current observations: Bud development has been excellent across all six phenos. We performed another lollipopping session and removed additional fan leaves to improve light penetration and airflow around the buds. The canopy is much more open now, allowing the lower flower sites to receive more direct light. Pheno #6 continues to surprise me. Even though it was the slowest plant in the beginning, it is now steadily developing its flowers and catching up nicely. Pheno #4 is already showing a very unique terpene profile. It has an incredibly sweet aroma with strong Kush-like notes, making it one of the most exciting phenos so far. 📊 Current environment: Temperature: 31°C Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% 🌿 Looking ahead: The plants are now entering one of the most exciting stages of the grow. Over the next few weeks, the flowers should continue to swell, resin production will increase, and the terpene profiles will become even more pronounced. I'm really looking forward to seeing which phenotype delivers the best combination of structure, aroma, and overall flower quality. 💬 Which pheno would you keep as a mother based on what you've seen so far?

Week 12 - Flower Week 7 12. of Feb. Day 78 - Flower Day 43 Reservoir steady in the mid-1.6 EC range. pH behaving normally after corrections. Drinking roughly around a liter per 24h. The tops are mostly orange. Very few white pistils up top. That’s what’s dominating my attention. It feels early for them to look this mature. I start questioning whether the late-January catastrophe pushed her into finishing prematurely. Trichomes look mostly clear on closer inspection - not milky like I first thought. That’s important. 13. of Feb Day 79 - Flower Day 44 Pre top-off EC dips slightly - small sign of uptake. pH stable in the mid-5s after correction. Still fixated on the topmost crowns. They look static. I compare pictures from a week earlier and struggle to see obvious swelling. That’s frustrating. 14th of Feb Day 80 - Flower Day 45 Numbers stable again. EC mid-1.6s, pH mid-5.8s after top-off. Drinking steady but not aggressive. I consider whether development has stalled. Buds look healthy, not deteriorating - but not exploding either. 15th of Feb Day 81 - Flower Day 46 The mental tension is still there. Considered drastic action (flush), but decided against it after reviewing the data. Numbers weren’t extreme. Plant wasn’t collapsing. Chose stability instead of panic. EC held in the mid-1.6 range. pH stable. Drinking continued. EC trends stable. pH predictable. Roots healthy. No worsening damage. 16th of Feb Day 82 - Flower Day 47 00:15 pre top-off: pH 5.5 EC 1484 She drank just over a liter. After top-off: pH ~5.8 EC mid-1.6 This is the first real shift in perspective. I notice that underneath the canopy, popcorn buds and mid-level sites still have completely white pistils. That’s a crucial observation. If she were truly finishing early, those would not be fresh and white. This doesn’t look like shutdown. It looks uneven maturity between canopy layers. 17th of Feb Day 83 - Flower Day 48 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 EC 1564 After circulation: pH 5.75 EC 1620 EC meter seems to show too low values at first. Drinking 1L again. This is the day I actually see bulking happening. Not on the very tip of the highest tops - but right below them. The secondary crowns are stacking visibly. Calyxes swelling. Structure thickening. I realize I’ve been staring at the most stressed tissue (the very tops affected by the earlier light/EC incident) instead of looking at the plant as a whole. 18th of Feb Day 84 - Flower Day 49 Pre top-off: pH 5.92 EC ~1.6-1.7 (meter slightly inconsistent but trend stable) After top-off: pH 5.87 EC 1620 She drinks over a liter again. The brown pistils on the very top now feel less like “premature finish” and more like scars from the January event. Lower pistils remain white. Calyxes are not collapsing. Bud density is slowly improving. This week ends in a different place than it began. Not explosive. Not perfect. But alive, feeding, stacking - and very much still in flower. Next week should hopefully be all about stability and bulking.

Day 36. Still no feed.... Again, difference in size growing many autos is HUGE pain. One Northern Lights is smallest plant I ever grew, I doubt I would I achieved it with loads of LST ;))) Will try to lift that midget a bit ... Some flower, some not, Diesels are still the only strain I would grew, but most probably not once ;))) they look amazing !!! 10 out of 10 ! Green Crack still the obvious looser at the moment and is still mostly in veg ... Next watering will be full of goodies for them !!! Couple leaves off here and there, couple branches cropped or repositioned, still waiting for stretch to be over before installing some support. Day 37. One more girl took SuperCroping like champ and at the moment has very even canopy. All garden looks fine, hope feed won't spoil that joy ;))) Day 40. Girls still on water, but during every two days, so it's again pain ... Whatever pot size I take - girls start to go faster, than my laziness wants :))) Cleared bottoms of first row, next watering will clear other 5, just want to see are they ok. Some strains hates any job done to them and stops developing.... Would be stupid to slow them down in final stretch ... Happy Growing !!!

Main plant blue dream height 6.5 feet. Largest plant I’ve ever grown, it’s been topped at least 10 times throughout the season. Any guesses on yield for a monster plant that size!? 2 Pineapple Express plants hydro harvested 3.5 ounces dried. Transitioned 3pineapple 3 blue dream clones into grow tent. My can Dewey (dewbie) helping me prune the plants. Medium sized outdoor plants are pineapple and mimosa orange punch. I’ll be stacked for harvest I think 👍

If you are looking for yield then green gelato is most certainly the one you're looking for. If controlled right you can easy get 10oz per plant on these!
