She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize growth before flowering and to prevent (hopefully) them going hermie on me, which both Gorillas and Orange Hill Special are prone to. I have made a video to thank them for letting me use their SP-3000. What a beast of a light!! Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for letting me test this awesome light! I have made a new layer of topsoil made of organic coco-peat, which should help me prevent more fungus gnats. They already seem to hate it and are wandering around in agony trying to dig in... Good for them, freeloading beastards. Now we go to flowering coming weeks, and I can't wait... Thanks for checking in and the likes and support!

#seedsman420growoff and #SeedsmanSeeds 📆 Week 4, 18-24 May 2024 18 May - Observed and let the plant grow. 19 May - Cut off lower suckers from main branches (see video). 20-24 May - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 This plant is growing remarkably even and fast with very little training. Next week a scrog ring will be going on to spread and open her up just before flowering. 🍶 18 May nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 18 May feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.1 at 72 degree F 🔆 Light power at 60%, DLI 25 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using General Hydroponics, HGC728040, Dual Diaphragm Air Pump, 320 GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Tag 56 | Blütetag 12 Der Stretch läuft jetzt komplett auf Anschlag — und langsam zeigen die drei Damen immer deutlicher ihren eigenen Charakter. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Genetiken werden von Woche zu Woche sichtbarer und genau dafür liebe ich solche Vergleichsruns. 👀 🌡️ Klima & Setup Die Bewässerung über die Dripper läuft weiterhin stabil und die Pflanzen danken es sichtbar mit konstantem Wachstum und ordentlich Zug nach oben. Die 90×60-Fläche ist mittlerweile gut gefüllt, aber jede Lady hält ihren eigenen 30×60-Streifen noch sauber ein. Genau so war der Plan. 🌿 Chicken & Waffles Absolute Maschine. Wird runtergebunden, steht paar Stunden später wieder senkrecht da, als wäre nichts gewesen. 😅 Die Kraft und Dynamik von der Genetik ist echt brutal. Riesige Internodienabstände, aggressiver Stretch und einfach permanenter Vorwärtsdrang. Aktuell weiterhin die größte Pflanze im Zelt und definitiv das Beast des Runs. 🍓 Fruit Bomb Punch Die Fruit Bomb Punch holt mittlerweile aber ordentlich auf. Nach ihrem etwas holprigen Start und dem Stress durch Toppen und die frische Erde wirkt sie inzwischen deutlich akklimatisierter und schiebt jetzt richtig nach vorne. Die Struktur bleibt etwas luftiger als bei der Strawberry AK, aber dafür merkt man langsam dieses typische XXL-Sativa-Momentum, das die Sorte laut Breeder haben soll. 🌲 Strawberry AK Nach wie vor die Bilderbuchpflanze im Zelt. Untrainiert, extrem sauber aufgebaut und einfach grundsolide in jeder Hinsicht. Sehr kompakt, schön buschig und dabei trotzdem kräftig genug, um problemlos mitzuhalten. Ein richtiges Flächenmonster mit unglaublich ordentlicher Struktur. Bis jetzt vermutlich die unkomplizierteste Pflanze im gesamten Run. ✨ Insgesamt Der Stretch ist jetzt voll im Gang und das Zelt lebt richtig. Alle drei entwickeln mittlerweile klar erkennbare Eigenheiten und genau das macht den Vergleich aktuell extrem spannend. Noch sieht alles kontrollierbar aus — aber die nächsten 1–2 Wochen werden wahrscheinlich entscheiden, wer hier endgültig das Kommando übernimmt. 😄 Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. ? Grow on 🌱 Day 56 | Flower Day 12 The stretch is now running at full speed — and the differences between the three genetics become more obvious every single day. That’s exactly why I love doing comparison runs like this. 👀 🌡️ Environment & Setup The drip irrigation keeps everything stable and the girls clearly appreciate the consistent moisture with strong daily growth and steady vertical push. The 90×60 tent is filling up nicely now, but every lady still more or less keeps her own 30×60 lane — exactly how the setup was planned. 🌿 Chicken & Waffles Absolute beast. You bend her down and a few hours later she’s standing back upright like nothing ever happened. 😅 The strength and vigor of this genetic is honestly insane. Huge internodal spacing, aggressive stretch and nonstop forward momentum. Still the biggest plant in the tent right now and definitely the powerhouse of this run. 🍓 Fruit Bomb Punch Fruit Bomb Punch is catching up fast now though. After the rougher start with topping stress and the hotter fresh soil, she finally seems fully acclimated and is starting to explode with growth. Her structure stays a bit airier compared to Strawberry AK, but you can definitely start seeing that XXL sativa-style energy the breeder talks about. 🌲 Strawberry AK Still the picture-perfect plant of the tent. Untouched, extremely clean structure and just rock solid overall. Very compact, nicely bushy and still vigorous enough to keep up without any real training. A true space-filler with an incredibly tidy shape. Probably the easiest and most stable plant of the entire run so far. ✨ Overall The stretch is fully underway now and the tent feels alive. All three plants are developing their own very clear personalities and that’s what makes this comparison so interesting right now. Everything is still manageable — but the next 1–2 weeks will probably decide who truly takes over the tent. 😄 In the end, the jar decides. ? Grow on 🌱

Another week has gone by. Still not seeing any amber trichomes but a lot seem to be going cloudy so hopefully another 2 weeks MAX for this one. Both plants are looking kinda deficient but only a week or two left so not too fussed about that. Both plants smell very sweet and are both the same smell too which suggests a nice strain stability. Still unsure which one will yield more, one being topped and one left to its own life. Hopefully next week we will see some amber!

Welcome friends to week 14. 8/6-12. I did defoilation last week of most of the feeder leaves. The goddesses let you know what they want and dont want. When I was defoliating, if the leaf was hesitant in coming off, don’t force it, because it will bring part of the bud with it.That being said, I have 3 small buds that came off during trim. Close up pics above. I have these drying on a fruit bowl in the kitchen and will give CBG a try in about 2 weeks. 8/6 No water today. Adjusting to yesterday’s defoliation, outside time and fertilization. This is day 106 since popping the soil on April 17. Based on the last auto flowers I grew, I anticipate these will be ready to harvest at the end of 2 weeks (Aug 19-20). I don’t know how long it takes for trichomes to start turning amber but I see almost 100% milky, just no amber yet. 8/7 I’m pushing an extra day without water and not running humidifier. This is pushing VPD higher into the excess range. I read that this stress can motivate the plant to make bigger buds. Harvest time will determine if that’s so. 8/8 Ferigate 3 gallons using TPS1 23.75ml, Signal 9.5ml, EC 1.19, PPM 820, ph 7.5. I only gave them 1 ½ liters each today. 8/9 No water. Still not seeing amber trichomes. How long will it take? 8/10 light fertilize today. 3 gallons with 15 ml TPS1, 7.5 ml Signal. Each received 1 gallon. They were in the tub so all run off went down the drain and I didn't get measurements. There was a summer storm today so I utilized the time to go thru more boxes. Interesting items that I came across: 1 grandmother's notes for colorizing black white photos. She won awards for this process. 2 grandfather's attestation to the US State land department on the improvements made on the homestead acreage. State confirmed improvements. The official land rights posted above. 3 1928 cook book Women of the Presbyterian Church. Shown is a recipe for cooking 'possum. Good old southern cooking. Recipe by my great grandfather. I'll check the book for any that might be really yummy. 8/11 no water. More hair tufts forming 8/12 ferigate today. Prepared 3 gallons TPS1 23.75 ml, signal 15 ml, cal mag 15 ml, ppm 794, ph 6.59 ****** From the emergence of women in the workforce after the depression ad WWI, women in business were the secretaries and clerks. A woman’s place was in the home. My grandmother, father and mother were all high achievers in their careers, and interests. All won awards for their achievements in work activities, teaching, and arts. This type A behavior was instilled in me from the start. In everything I did I had to be my best. I worked a variety of jobs from jewelry sales to office clerical during high school and college. Attending school and working at the same time and maintaining straight A’s is typical A behavior. I started picking up industrial psychology courses and some business. When I got into accounting, my male accounting professor said I was really good and I should consider it. The economics of business was changing. Women were breaking the glass ceiling in large corporations with more women were becoming CEO's of big corporations. So, I changed my major of study in college from science to business and accounting. I entered a difficult field. Once out of college, I started in the accounting field and remained in the same career for over 35 years. I did not have the desire to travel the world so I remained in Tidewater. My career began as an accountant responsible for payroll and accounts payable at a hospital, then went into banking. From there, I entered government accounting and finance. Over the years, I was promoted from staff accountant to manager, then director of financial reporting at Tidewater Community College (TCC). Interestingly, I came across my mom’s college yearbook. She attended Teachers College of Connecticut (TCC). My mom began her teaching career in college, and I ended my career while working in higher education. What a coincidence! My need for perfection is causing stress and anxiety since I’m having difficulties. Even though I followed the TPS1 autoflower weekly recommendations, I still overfed. This caused nutrient lock out for which I flushed with no nutrients for 3 weeks. Once I resumed 1/4-1/2 strength the required solution, I started seeing new white pistils in the existing buds. Thanks for stopping by. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Have a great week, enjoy your smoke and have fun 👍.

The Sour Stomper from Mephisto Genetics on day 69, and I must say it has quickly become one of my favorite strains to grow. 🌱💚 It's not only super fast ⚡ in its growth, but also incredibly easy 🙌 to cultivate. What makes this strain truly exceptional are the unique phenotypes it produces in terms of colors and aromas. 🎨👃 One of them emits a strong scent reminiscent of fresh meat 🍖👃, while another phenotype displays a captivating orange color 🧡 with an indescribable aroma. 🍊👃 I apologize for not being able to share any photos this time. Harvesting all 20 plants took me the entire day, and by the time I finished, I was completely exhausted. 😅 It was quite a task trimming them all, but I managed to get it done. Afterward, I collapsed into bed and peacefully rested. 💤💤 Overall, I would rate this strain a solid 9.5 out of 10. 🌟 I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the final harvest weight. 🌾🤞 Exciting times ahead! 🌿✨

Planta de crecimiento no muy exigente, no demanda grandes cantidades de agua y nutrientes. En este caso solo apliqué LST y respondió bastante bien. Formó un buen tallo principal y una estructura ramificada y firme. Lo mejor de todo viene en la floración, adivina porque?... COLORES!, alrededor de la 3era semana comienzan a aflorar tonalidades rojizas, púrpura, rosas que deslumbrarán a cualquiera. Sus cogollos son más bien aireados y desprenden un fuerte olor cítrico como a cáscara de naranja intensamente dulce. En fin, una genética de calidad y con una visual hermosa y aromas asombrosos!. En lo personal prefiero los brotes más densos y compactos, pero me encantó todo el proceso de esta hermosa planta, totalmente recomendada!

She's coming along nicely not a single nutrient has touched her

End of Week 13, marks the end of Week 9(63days) of Flowering. Trichomes are less clear, more cloudy-milky, and frosty, but all I'm waiting on is anywhere between 10-30% of the trichomes to change its color to amber to decide when to harvest. After the gradual down shift in nutrient feeding and flushing transition, the buds still grew almost 1/2'' or so since last week, with slow signs of deficiencies(nitrogen only), but instead could be the natural plant cannibalizing process in action. I will continue to flush with water only until harvest, to effectively drain away the extra nutrients and salts, which should be enough to keep it's natural flavor and smell before harvest.

Shes doing alright despite my issues of overwatering and using old soil. I added ac infinity self watering bases to the grow. They should help a lot with the issues & improve this grow. I hope that you enjoy it & look forward to the imorivements. Check back next week to see just how fast they grow & remember its 4:20 somewhere!

Still swelling but starting to slow down and swagger. It's kolas are becoming so large that it's really starting to weight down the plants small height and stature. Trying to get away with not holding it up but I will see how the further biggest kola starts to lower more how it'll end. I'm starting to lower the feed and get ready for the last 3-4 weeks I'll be giving these plants. Some more foliage will be removed eventually in the coming weeks and also I'll start to change the feed up a little. You can really see the difference in the two phenos. One's a lot like a leafy gelato and the other is OG all the way with great dense kolas. I'm expecting the Gelato type pheno to take 9-10 weeks and the OG one seems to be showing it's age more rapidly with it's pistil development and colour change beginning to start while the other seems untouched and continues to shoot newer whiter pistils!

Finally got an umbrella that’s clear to fight rain. I have nothing else to say really

23.01. Tag 64 Die Lady vorne rechts wurde heute im ganzen geerntet und hängt nun im Trocknungszelt. Die anderen fallen in den nächsten Tagen —————————————————————— 26.01. Tag 67 Heute hat die zweite Pflanze ihr Ziel erreicht. Vorne links hängt nun auch Kopfüber ——————————————-

Began week 4 yesterday and gave her a defol, she loved it! Her flowers are starting to look really pretty too! Honestly can't wait to harvest this lady.

Topped at day 22. All plants seems to be taking both topping and lst very well. Have also replaced the lights from Apollo8 led 300w to Optic1 led cob 54w x2. The gift from opticgrowlights couldnt have come just in time for xmas. Big shout out to the man at optic headauarters "Jesse". Thanks alot for your help and patience buddy! Reccomend this optic1 lamps to all my fellow wardrobe/tent growers
