The summer heatwave has officially arrived, and it is getting seriously hot inside the greenhouse! However, the Gorilla Melon is handling the high temperatures like an absolute champ. Thanks to the Autopot system, she has a non-stop supply of fresh water, completely preventing any heat stress. She put on a massive amount of lush, green leaf mass over the past few days and is bursting with energy. With the dry, hot weather, I noticed a few minor traces of thrips popping up here and there. To nip this in the bud and keep any potential issues to an absolute minimum, I deployed some biological warfare yesterday and hung lacewing eggs (ChrysoCards) right into the canopy. It’s a 100% organic approach and completely safe to use even later during flowering. As for the schedule, it was a pure water-only week—nothing but clean H2O in the reservoir. On the training front, I’m currently debating whether to top her one more time to keep her even flatter and bushier, since she still has a long vegetative phase ahead of her. I haven’t fully decided yet, so I’ll just keep a close eye on her development for a few more days. Enjoy the sun and have a great weekend, everyone!

Coming along nicely seems to take longer to bloom than most Autos maybe 11-13 weeks but looks like it will be worth it. Buds are gong to be many not sure how big they will be but looking like they will be huge.

Gave the girls banana tea that sat for 28 hours and they seemed to love it. Will do another in a few days. They look very healthy and beautiful 💖

This week went well I am continuing to harvest buds as they become ready. The leaves are yellowing more and more letting me know that she is almost complete. I think the lower bids have about one more week until they are ready and that will complete the harvest for Big Girl. Little girl is now declining, she has not branches out or grown new tops.

Our Gush Mintz Automatic from Zamnesia has given us great satisfaction, this one is a nice big plant that will give us about 80-100 gr. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per strain, one worked with specific techniques and the other left to grow freely and beautifully or worked with uncut techniques to preserve speed. In this case the first was worked with LST but after a mistake with the main lining that had led to the breakage of a brunch and this one with a single topping. Description // This plant was worked with a single topping but leaving under the topping two "levels" or rather two internodes of branches that gave us a nice bushy plant. The flowers have joined in beautiful long Tower Buds and not so tapered, the plant is quite full and the flowering is sufficiently dense. Trichomes and maturation // We did a thorough microscopic analysis 10x (and 10x x 1.6) and noticed a good percentage of milky/lumpy trichomes; The percentage of amber trichomes was not so much but good for me with still a bit transparent too. That's fine for us as we're not crazy about THC oxidation and hyper indica effects around here. No a Evaporation, strong trichomes thanks to a great VPD management you can reach good results even in hot period. Ideal condition remain Bible but...you can. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron organic fertilizer range, all the recommended additives and Pro Mix soil, both unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ The nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html Try this strain, it is one of the best in recent years, with a very high THC level ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11234-zamnesia-gush-mintz-automatic-semi.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Gush Mintz Auto is a relaxing hybrid strain derived from the original Gush Mintz and a high-performance ruderalis specimen. This cross has produced a plant with 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. Her parents have given her some interesting characteristics, including mint and candy aromas and a high THC content of 20%. Smoking these buds provides creative vibes, a feeling of euphoria and a pleasant high that lasts from head to toe. In addition to its enticing flavors and powerful effects, Gush Mintz Auto produces large yields of compact buds in just 9-10 weeks from germination. Gush Mintz Auto is extremely easy to grow, with plants reaching an average height of 70cm indoors and 120cm outdoors, making her ideal for discreet grows or limited space, both indoors and outdoors. This strain is suitable for LST (Low Stress Training) and performs best when grown in the ScrOG technique (a technique that optimizes light exposure to maximize yields). Intense aromas and deeply relaxing effects As Gush Mintz Auto grows, her aroma intensifies, releasing sweet and minty notes. This refreshing flavor profile is perfect for smoking, offering an inviting combination of minty freshness and sweetness. The effects are deeply relaxing, enveloping the body in a pleasant sensation of well-being without being overly sedative. Gush Mintz Auto is perfect for those seeking creative inspiration, making writing, painting or music sessions smoother and more inspiring.

Hi growmies, The plants are in full flower now and have been defoliated after the hst of last week and seems like she has recovered. I had removed the filter and vent from the box and have the vent suck the air out of the box into the carbon filter, which gave me another 10 cm to play with. The plant consumes around 2 l of nutrient solution in 24 hours. This whole experience is howling me that I have to change the system in the box as I loose to much height with the grow table and the rockwool blocks. Will probably run a 20 l DWC in it, that I am currently working on.

Finally, 25 weeks i believe... Mold, mildew, bud rot, rain, humidity, crazy wind, frost. Somehow these girls turned out just fine and I am so proud of the end result. I am late posting, everything is pretty much all cured up and ready to smoke. Just finished making some stocking-stuffer jars for friends and family for Christmas. It was interesting to see the different phenotypes from each plant. One was named Average Girl, medium size, medium height. Then there was Big Bitch. She was the tallest and had the skinniest nugs. Next was Dolly.. She had the fattest cones of the 4.. a little shorter than Average Girl. And last was Runt... She was about 2 weeks behind her sisters and about a foot shorter, but she did not get any mold or mildew, and her buds were ginormous. I let her go an extra 2-3 weeks later than her sisters, bringing her into the garage every night at 7 pm, and then waking up at 7 am to put her outside. By far, my favorite plant was Runty. She finished up so nice. Overall smell is Kushy blueberry diesel cat piss with a hint of citrus. Wouldn't grow this strain again just because it did not handle the weather well, and I like a kushier final product, on the taste and nose. That being said, I am a very happy guy right now. Over and out.

Week#7 Day#44 Update: shes looking nice and bushy from the ponytailing. I gave her a half a gallon of water and she drank it right up . I gave it to her day 42 I believe I noticed her leaves droopy. I still have not topped her yet there’s atleast 13 main arms needing to be pinched out currently. I’m still riding the fence with whether I’ll top dress feed her and keep her in this pot for one more month or will I transplant her up and boost the feed proportionately with the increased pot size . Week#7 Day#45 update since I can’t seem to stop riding the fence on the methods I want to use to grow this plant I decided I atleast needed to do a heavy defoliation to expose those growth sites to encourage more branching . I could continue with ponytailing & defoliation for a while I just keep kicking the can around on whether topping will make this healthy vigorous growing plant better . It’s already doing everything I could ever want in terms of lateral growth . Could it stand to be a bit more vigorous on the upwards growth ? Sure , however I’ve still got 3 ladies maturing up in this tent that I need to move out so I’m sort of happy shes not requiring a lot of leg room know what I mean ? I think as the fan leaves grow out I’ll pony tail up each top again . Week#7 Day#46 No changes Week#7 Day#47: started pony tailing her tops as the fan leaves get large enough to pin up I’ll cover as many as possible to let those lower growths get growing . Week#7 Day#48: still pony tailing tops 😁 we’ll make her into a Week#7 Day#49: those new fan leaves neeed to be pony tailed but are also incredibly yellow . I wanted to try putting the dry amendment at the bottom of my planter but for the sake of time I won’t experiment & have wasted a 2 weeks considering I knew last week she “ should be getting hungry “ & it’ll take 1 week of top watering before these dry amendments are available to the plant so she may stay e looking deficient. I gave her 2 heaping tablespoons & watered her in with 1/2 gallon of ph’d water with (organic)cal mag .
