Day 21 of Bloom mode

Slowly lowering the EC as we get to the end.

December 27, 2023 Day 113 This week will focus on burping and trichomes. There may also be a harvest? We shall see. I don't think so though. Most likely next week will be a harvest. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 3 Curing I have grove bags coming in today, so the burping won't be a thing after today. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is coming to the end of her life. She hasn't started fading yet, which bugs me. She has been flushing for a week now and I'm not seeing much change. No fade, pistils still kinda sticking out. Not in all places, but some. Maybe I just can't tell. Either way, she looks great and smells even better. She got a full gallon top flush with Flawless Finish. I don't expect to do this much more. Maybe one more watering. I have to check trichomes today. I'll update when I do so. She should be ready for harvest within this week. Maybe a couple days. Number 2 is looking amazing. Her colas are stupid dense and her aroma is starting to really pack a punch. Not much else to do or say today. She's a beast and is beautiful. She got a gallon top feed today. The reservoir seems to be fine. I may check that later today as well. Just in case. She is quite a thirsty plant after all. The funny thing about this plant is the tallest cola. It is absolutely stunning with the exception of the top bleaching, but the rest of it is massive and shaped perfectly. It's the only one that did this. Granted its the tallest, but there are a couple others very close and they didn't do this. I mean, I really can't complain. I did the best I could with what I have. I'd say she will need another week or two of flowering. I'll leave the nutrient regimen alone until I see 50% cloudy trichomes. That will take some time I think. Pistils are still all very much white and clearly shows no signs of readiness. It's wonderful. I can't wait to see what she gives me for yield. Update: So I checked the trichomes on Gorilla Cookies 1 and posted a video. I believe she will be done in the next couple days. I may not be doing another flush after all. I'm going to hold off though. I want a bit more amber trichomes. But days away instead of the week I was originally thinking. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 52.6% VPD: 1.30 kPa December 28, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 4 Curing Got the grove bags yesterday and sealed a quarter pound one with all but a few buds. Those are in a one ounce grove bags that I'll be picking out of while the main yield cures. This stuff is fire! Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is now in the second week of flush. She still doesn't look ready, but that will change very soon. She needed no watering today. I'll be getting my supplemental lighting in today and will be installing it. However, I'm not sure how much it will help the lower part of the canopy. It will definitely speed up the maturing process, but that's about it. I can't complain though, the whole plant is pretty good. Lower buds are pretty small. Some are a bit airy and larfy, but still can be viable with the last but of lighting for the rest of the week. Number 2 may need a top feeding today. I'm not sure. Her reservoir is about half empty now and the soil moisture is hovering around 20%. It may drink down to 16% but the this afternoon. I'll water if she's low enough by 2 pm. After that, I'll just wait for tomorrow. That's the most likely scenario. Her buds are starting to get really heavy. Most of the outside ones are leaning over and starting to touch the other sides of the tent. The outside is still kinda safe, but that is mostly due to the two other plants stopping it from leaning even more. such a sight to behold. And they are super heavy and dense. Although, I may be seeing the first signs of foxtailing. I expected some because of the light distance, but it's ok. The colas are already super dense. The foxtailing will be just extra bud. I'll separate that in its own bag when it's time to cure. That's if I'm right and will be getting foxtails. Maybe not though, or not enough to warrant a separate bag. My supplemental lighting after being installed should help the lower part of the plant perk up a bit. I found several dead and dying leaves today. Actually, lots. That tells me a couple things I think. First, there's too much foliage in the upper canopy and the leaves are dying from overcrowding. Second, the light just isn't penetrating enough to really get the lower parts of the canopy. That's where the new lighting comes in. Hopefully that fixes the lower canopy and helps it bring more bud. Maybe not huge colas, but at least some tight smalls. We shall see. Update: I ended up top watering Gorilla Cookies 2 with recharge. I'm pretty sure I forgot it the other day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 55.5% VPD: 1.25 kPa It's still super humid and rainy here, and it's showing in the tent. I'm not all that worried about it. It will drop down later this afternoon like it did yesterday. However, I am of course trying to correct it, but it's not working all that well. Lol. December 29, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 5 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 may be harvested later today or tomorrow morning. She is just about done. But I want to see how much more she will finish up in the next day or so with the supplemental lighting. Obviously she won't be getting anymore watering. But I'd like to have her dried up a bit more, which should be later today or tomorrow. I may put her in the dry tent later today and let her have a dark period. Maybe I should wait 2 days. Give her 36 hours of dark before harvest. Number 2 should enjoy the supplemental lighting. However, now that it's on and lighting up the whole lower canopy, there are bud sites with branches that have no budlets on them. I really want to remove them. But I'll just let everything go as it is. The goal is to allow the under canopy to mature at the same rate as the upper canopy. I don't think it will do anything with the lower part of the plant. I also noticed that the majority of the leaves are drooping pretty hard. I wonder if that's due to lack of light. We shall see. She doesn't need water today, but tomorrow she will need a top feed and a reservoir refill. She's definitely drinking over a gallon a day now. Cola formation is perfect. They are come shaped and DENSE. The aroma is getting fairly strong now. At least, it's catching up to Gorilla Cookies 1. Sweet, spicy and minty coming off of her. They colas are also leaning a bit more today. So much weight coming on. I honestly can't wait for her to be alone in the tent. The lower lighting will cover the all of the lower lights without anything blocking the light. Update: I decided instead of harvesting today or tomorrow, Gorilla Cookies 1 will spend 2 days in the dry tent for a dark period. Then I will harvest. Also, I spent about an hour combing through the many many branches of Gorilla Cookies 2. I found a bunch of dead fallen leaves. Some that were dying and even a few that were so over lapped they were crushing each other against the SCroG net. So all of that (not much really) came off. I wonder how long the supplemental lighting will take to show a difference in the lower canopy. And what difference will it show? Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 52.7% VPD: 1.32 kPa December 30, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 6 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is in her second day of dark. Tomorrow I'll be harvesting her. Nothing else to report. Number 2 is smashing. Her lower section is still droopy like it doesn't have enough of something. I thought it was light. Maybe it's something else? Or maybe I'm being impatient. Either way, she still has some time left to go. 3 to 4 weeks I'd say. She got her full gallon top feed as well as a reservoir refill. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally dumped 10 ml of Overdrive in one of the gallons. That one went in the reservoir. I probably should have top fed it. Oh well, too late now. Although, I didn't have any dead leaves today. At least nothing I could see. Maybe the light is doing something. Making the leaves stronger, which if I'm correct, also strengthens the bud production. There won't be much down there, but it's definitely better than leaving it as it was. Maybe I'll get an extra half oz out of these little buds. Who knows. Update: I ended up finding some dead leaves in Gorilla Cookies 2 after all. Not too many. So now another day of cleaned up Beasty beast. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 50.7% VPD: 1.34 kPa December 31, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 7 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Harvest Day! And the last day of 2023! We have a 22 oz wet weight whole plant. Not too sure of the total outcome, but I'm thinking 10% weight retention. So 2.2 oz. Dried and trimmed bud. Who knows, maybe I'll get 15% and have a half decent yield of 3.3 oz. Honestly, I should have waited for midnight, but she needed to be harvested for time purposes. I have another plant coming in the dry tent in a few days to a week. I'm hoping I can stretch it out for the week, but I won't be able to wait for Number 1 to dry. Just too much time. I'm thinking a nice 10 day dry. I set the ambient room temperature to 70°. So that should drop the dry tent down about 6°. I'm hoping for a dry temp of 64° or less and the RH to be around 55%. She has some pretty dense top colas, and I cut them off after the weight check. That should help the whole plant dry at the same time. I left most of it intact. Just the 3 tallest colas. Now there's more room in the plant for air, but also plenty of space for those large colas to dry. And they should dry quite nicely. Number 2 looks pretty good. I didn't find any dead leaves. One dying leaf I pulled off, but nothing else. So maybe the supplemental lighting is actually doing something. I don't expect the leaves to really recover from the damage, but at least maybe perk up a bit. Again, I'm not expecting a ton of difference. Just enough to keep the lower canopy as dense as the upper canopy. The lower part of the plant, is more like a lost cause. I should have cleaned up the small budlets as they popped up. Oh well. Nothing to do now but wait and see what she turns out like. I'm not all that worried. The small amount of lower plant growth is minimal compared to the actual canopy which is magnificent. She'll be needing a watering later on today. Definitely a very thirsty plant. She's around 18% soil saturation content. I normally water at no less than 15%. So later today it is. Her colas are getting so dense it's insane. She still hasn't started really swelling yet either. I expect that to start in the next week or so. Also, the worry about foxtails seems to be unnecessary. IF there is any foxtailing, it won't be much or if there's a lot, it won't matter. The buds are already so dense, anything else is just bonus weed. Still, foxtails are a pain in the ass to trim, so let's hope for none. The only cola I'm really concerned about is the tallest one. It's definitely too close to the light. Also, I'm not seeing any stress from the supplemental lighting. I guess there's just enough. I honestly had a feeling that the top light just isn't bright enough to penetrate through the whole canopy. So the tops are getting plenty, but the actual plant may not have been getting enough. Now, that's should be fixed. Again, I see no stress whatsoever. If I notice any, I can just turn the lights down. They are at full blast now, but they aren't nearly as powerful as the main grow light. Still very nice though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 47.8% VPD: 1.40 kPa January 1, 2024 Day 118 Happy New Year! Strawberry Gorilla: Day 8 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Day 1 Drying I have a tray of water on the bottom of the tent with an oscillating clip fan blowing gently over it. It's keeping the RH between 50% and 53%. Temperature is hovering around 65°. Everything looks good. Number 2 is now really starting to swell those colas up. It was visibly noticable this morning. Not to mention the outer colas are all leaning further and further over. They are over the end of the ScrOG net up front, touching the. Far side wall and nearly touching the front of the tent. The supplemental light seems to be doing something. the lower bud sites are starting to look healthy and getting a deeper green color on what's left of the healthy leaves. I think I caught the very end of when the supplemental lights are useful for growth. Now it's just maturing and a final week of nutrients... I think. I'm cutting off the nutrients when I see 50% cloudy trichomes. There should be plenty of orange pistils by then. In which case, won't be for another week or two. Man, these colas are going to be massive! No watering today. Most definitely tomorrow morning. Update: I decided to lower the light intensity to 30%. The PPFD is around 750 now. So that should help prevent the potential foxtailing. I'm not really sure if that will stress her out at all. I don't think it will though. I'll be checking on her daily to see her reaction. I've read light stress can cause 3 finger fan leaves. In my case, there was a point where the light became too bright during the early flowering stage and caused some of these 3 fingered leaves. It seems to have fixed in some spots where the light was raised high enough to fix it in time other places it stopped when the leaves stopped growing. Some of the leaves are facing away from the light. With this current intensity, the leaves should level out and even start to reach a bit. Not sure how long it will take. I read it can take up to 2 weeks to recover. I'm not sure how stressed the majority of the plant was though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 46.3% VPD: 1.45 kPa January 2, 2024 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 9 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Day 2 Drying Number 2 is her beastly self. She got a top feed today. No need for the reservoir to be topped off yet. So, I'm not seeing any difference in the lower light intensity yet. Maybe some of the leaves straightened out, but no reaching or anything like that. The supplemental lighting is doing something. Although the buds down below are tiny, they are weighing down the branches they are on. Still nothing great, but it will definitely be good in the trim bin. I'm sure they will have plenty of trichomes on them. Perfect for gathering kief. Her top colas are also doing quite well. They are super dense and heavy. Swelling continues. Not much difference from last night, but still plenty of time to get massive. I'm also starting to see signs of orange pistils here and there. Which means we are on point. Three or so weeks left until harvest. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 45.2% VPD: 1.47 kPa

This is the gift that keeps on giving. 14 weeks and I'm not sure whether to take her to the guillotine.

Getting close to the final harvest weeks now so time to start checking the trichome development. Backing off the feed amounts also Hoping they finish well 🤞🏻😬

What a damn Beatiful plant they always fade so nicely like fall color she’s super fat tricomes everywhere perfect little plant I’d say a little over an oz dry and it was super fast it didn’t waist any time stay tuned for the harvest results

Good day friends... So i seen my plant started to change.. The buds just started puffin up, so i started givin pk13/14 on saturday... So far so good.. Other then that just feeding her and keepin her dry ... Im givin 10 drops of plagron pk13/14 on 0.5 liters mineral water.. (Half the dosage) Thats it for this week.. Have a good day there friends 🌴

Bien pues arrancamos hoy día 30/10/23 la 2º semana de crecimiento. Las semillas se metieron en el táper el día 10/10/23 lo que quiere decir que llevamos 20 días desde que se empezaron a germinar. Durante esta semana se quedaran todas trasplantadas y dejaremos la 3º semana de crecimiento para recuperar el stress. En la 4º semana haremos podas. Planeo poner 1 malla de scrog a modo de guía, como si fuera los tutores a media altura de la planta. **UPDATE 30/10** Trasplante avanza, mas fotos añadidas en esta semana. **UPDATE 03/11** Trasplante finalizado. En cuanto terminemos esta 2ª semana de crecimiento podamos los bajos y hacemos pequeña defoliación. Hay que decir que la gama orgánica de BOOM NUTRIENTS me ilusiona, se ven las plantas verdes, sanas y las raíces pues de locos.

El cambio de fotoperiodo para el inicio de floración fue el día 18 de la semana anterior. Desde ese momento de han hecho riegos con vegetativo y floración. Generalmente en 3°o 4° semana de floración elimino el vegetativo. También se a regado estimulante de floración delta 9 de manera foliar aprox cada 10 días. Recordar que doy 1 riego de fertilizante cada dos de agua sin fertilizantes por semana, donde en los riegos sin fertilizantes añado microorganismos, enzimas y calmag.

Man it’s so hot these girls are drinking up so much water!!! Watering everyday. Might be Sweet skunks last nutrient dose, gonna start flush for harvest after today. Plants are starting to fatten up nicely, hopefully we keep this same progress!

CREO que va por buen camino, el co Principal ya es súper gordo y creo que aún faltan varias semanas de floración, la resina se hace más evidente

Temperature and measurements listed in grow conditions are averaged for the week. The listed pH is the soil pH. Nutrients listed in nutrients section are ml/per gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain showers in the morning and throughout the day. They showed first sign of flower. Day 2 we had rain in the morning, drizzle and showers in the afternoon. The ferrous sulfate reduced the soil pH from just above 7 to just below. I added 10ml blood meal and 10ml ferrous sulfate top dressed to each pot. The nitrogen should boost the stretch during early flower. The additional ferrous sulfate should keep the pH in the 6.5-7 range and help with chlorosis during early flower. Day 3 we had more rain, drizzle, and mist all day. The soil pH is coming down slowly. It's 6.9 on day 3. Day 4 it rained all morning. The pots are soaked. Day 5 we missed the scattered showers but it was 80-90% humidity all day. We did have lots of sunshine Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures above 80°F. Day 7 we had sunny skies. Temperature was in the mid 80'sF. I had to water about .5 gallons directly from the hose. 7.6 pH and 50°F Both plants doubled in height. There's still a small excess of phosphorous in the soil. The plants will grow into the phosphorus during flower. Overall a successful week.

Looking nice and Uniform again. Now that they need more light than the Spider farmer 100w can give I haven now moved them into the main tent. I also sprayed them with a fish mix and alg-a-mic formulae in which they both seem to react to rather well.

Looks like I'm going to be satisfied with the autos and the photos their coming along fine very nicely. I super cropped the one outside and that's turning out fantastic

Ladies, gentlemen, and all the wonderful beings following this journey, I am thrilled to announce that we have reached the highly anticipated harvest week for our beautiful PCRs.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2205 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked both seeds for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged which usually takes roughly 24 hours. These seeds however didn't follow the rules and took their fine time to pop out their tap roots. 12/3- Today their tap roots were about 1/4 to 3/8" so at 11 am I transferred them into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened ...waiting on the #2. 🧐 I was concerned that one of the seeds may fail as she took so long to germinate so I soaked two more as an insurance policy. Naturally, BOTH of the second set of seeds popped their tap roots within 24 hours. One of the first round seeds failed to germinate which left me with three viable seeds, one in a pellet already and two showing tap roots. I planted both of the second round seeds into the same peat pellet that I had previously soaked. 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the #1 FBT #2205 and I anticipate seeing one or both of the second round poking their heads out real soon! I'll keep them in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see their roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer them gently into their respective fabric pots. The #1 will be going into the 4g Gronest pot from FastBuds and the #2 will reside in a 3g pot by Wraxly, which I'm trying out for the first time. 12/7- Yesterday I checked the #1 tester and she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so tomorrow I'll transfer her into her 4g Gronest pot. The second round seeds finally made an appearance and I decided to yank the smaller of the two keeping me from having to stress them when I separated them.... this will be Day One for the #2! She looks really healthy and I'm confident that she should be ready to transfer into her fabric pot in the next couple of days! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
