Harvested the rest of the plants today. Two “Cream Cookies” Auto’s and One more “Gorilla Cookies”. Total weight being 8oz (4oz) of some pretty potent stuff. Everything is in the jars and curing nicely. Boveda 62% RH Pack’s have made this process somewhat easy as well. I burp 3 times a day for 5min each. I have “Burp Lidz” coming so I will be able to suck all the air out of the jars and eliminate the chances of mold.

One of the Gorilla Cookies Auto’s from FastBudz was dry and ready for trimming. This is my first time ever handling a Nug or trimming one. I’m sure my skills will improve in the coming months. While trimming I didn’t have an issue with resin gumming up the trimmers. This was the stunted plant that I decided to see all the way to the end just to see if she could produce some quality bud. I wasn’t disappointed. Very strong aroma of fruity pebbles mixed with fruit. Very high in THC as promised by the breeder at 27%. Weighing in just over a half ounce. In the coming days I will have another update showing the “Creme Cookies” auto trimmed up and ready for curing as well.

Plants were cut down today after the last flush/feeding. Currently not “Wet trimming” due to loss of flavor and smoothness commonly associated with that technique. After 10-14 days of a slow controlled drying process I will be trimming. Nutrients: -LOTUS “Carboflush” @ 1 Tsp -RO Water PH balanced between 6.1-6.3PH

Light stress has taken somewhat of a toll on the ladies but they are trucking along nicely. New grow set up for next grow will be a lot more sufficient in the lighting and distance aspect of it. Started flushing all of them today and will be harvesting in 6-7 more days. Nutrients: -LOTUS Carboflush @ 1Tsp//250PPM -RO Water PH balanced to 6.3

Plants are doing really well. Had some small cases of light stress so I’ve adjusted the lights to accommodate some of the lower bud sites but still within manufacturer suggested flowering coverage of 18inches. Noticing the buds getting thicker and even some of the white hairs having an orange color showing up. Current Nutrients: -LOTUS “Bloom” @ 1 & 1/2Tsp -LOTUS “Boost” @ 1/2Tsp -RO Water PH balanced to 6.3

Plants are exploding with white whiskers and smelling really good. Luckily my double carbon filter idea really paid off and outside of my lab you smell absolutely nothing. Seeing really good but site growth on the two “Cream cookies” by FastBudz And my “Gorilla Cookies” are filling out nicely and already showing crystals among the fan leaves. One of the Gorilla’s was stunted some how many weeks ago but I kept her along with the others and will still produce a few good but sites. Nutrients: -LOTUS “Bloom” @ 1 & 1/4Tsp -LOTUS “Boost” @ 1/2Tsp -RO 6.4PH balanced Water

Since I have the available light space and a separate part of the closet I went ahead and did an even split and have two groups of two under the same brand of lights. As of next feed no more LOTUS “Grow” will be used. End of Week 5 tomorrow.

Two days ago I did a heavy “defoliation” so as to expose bud sites and have the plant directly transfer its energy into bud production. So far I’m seeing much better site structure and steady growth in those sites. Nutrients: -LOTUS “Grow” @ 1/2Tsp//450PPM -LOTUS “Bloom” @ 3/4 Tsp//600PPM -LOTUS “Cal/Mag” @ 1Tsp -RO Water PH balanced

Noticed the “White Whiskers” today which means I am in flowering. This next feed will comprise of LOTUS “Grow” but will be last feeding of that. Switching fully to LOTUS “Bloom” as suggested on schedule.

Seeing explosive growth all around. For two days I’ve strategically defoliated all 4 plants to expose more buds sites since I am in pre-flower. Bottom right plant in the picture (Gorilla) is starting to recover from an apparent “Stunt” period. No idea how I caused it but I kept it on routine and it seems to be bouncing back. Nutrients: - LOTUS “Grow” @ 1 &1/2 Tsp’s// 1600PPM -LOTUS “Cal/Mag” @ 1 Tsp -LOTUS “Bloom” @ 1Tsp -RO Water Naturally balanced to 6.3PH

LOTUS Nutrients are working wonders on my plants. I’ve seen explosive growth so far with Non LST & LST plants. I’ve learned to feel & pick up my pots to determine when to feed. No new signs of over/under feeding. Current Dose: -900/950 PPM LOTUS “Grow” -1tsp LOTUS Cal/Mag -Oxygenated RO Water & PH balanced.

Day 15. Seeing explosive growth. Introduced full serving (Per 1Gal) of LOTUS Cal/Mag & Grow. Next feeding will be heavy on LOTUS Grow & Pest treatment to prevent further damage. Also, Starting LST tomorrow on all 4.

Seeing the first set of leaves coming in strong. “Gorilla cookies” is showing purple already. Made a rookie mistake with the light being too far and made the roots stretch. Lowered the lights and now going in with more soil to build a stronger base for it while the roots strengthen.
