I use this section to track the progress of my plants. It provides a visual record allowing me to compare current plants with those of the past. I usually update it weekly or when I want to record an event.
Clones
9-26-24
2 GG and one GT3 for the next cycle. Raised this bucket using 2 bricks for more light on these clones and increased solution to 5 ml gallon for each part.
9-16-24
2 GG and one GT3 for the next cycle.
Started a second Gorilla Glue Seed.
9-4-24 3:30 pm: 4 hours soak in clone solution then paper towel.
9-5-24 11:30 pm: 3/4 inch tail planted in vermiculite with clone solution.
Nice thick roots when moved to bucket.
8-18-24
Moved light to 36 inches above the top of the buckets. Growth was too slow, stems too thin.
8-9-24
Moved light to about 40 inches above the top of the buckets. Getting longer, flexible stems now.
Tent A
Sometime in the first part of November GGAs roots stop growing and leaves began yellowing. No visual symptoms and other plants doing great. After a couple of weeks the roots started growing again. I removed all but 4 of the healthiest plants. All I can think of is I didn’t thoroughly mix one of the solution parts before adding the next part. The help video on the General Hydroponics website warned that bad things happen if undiluted gro/micro/bloom come into contact with each other.
11-1-24
All three plants doing great. GGB is on a brick, still behind from slow root development at first. Raising the amount of solution next week to 25mlx, GT3 fan leaves showing some sign of low Magnesium / calcium.
10-29-24
I have broken 2 stems on the GT3, both have recovered.
10-26-24
GT3 with 12 stems.
10-22-24
GGB and GT3 recovering quickly.
10-19-24
GGB and GT3 stressed by slow root development. GGA doing great.
10-12 and 19-24
GG A roots, vigorous growth in first week. All 3 had about the same root development when put in the net pots. The GGA roots where shorter and didn’t need to be bent. The other two had longer roots that I bent in half to get into the pot. Need to check root development on next cycle when I will cut the roots to about 3.5 to 4 inches long.
10-5-24
Moved 2 GG and a GT3 to buckets. GG A is first seed, GG B is from a new seed. Both GG have 9 stems and the GT3 currently has 11 stems started. I only have one side stem on the tallest main stem, need to add another. Also need to get stems later to clone new GG (B).
10-5-24
Good roots on all 3 plants. I have been trimming them twice a week.
9-28-24
Some of the upper colas still producing new flowers, planning on harvesting those that are finished.
9-21-24
Almost time to harvest top level of colas on #7. The end results of my experimenting with how many colas can these little plants support.
9-17-24
Good spacing on tops. #7 producing a lot of new flowers on all parts of the colas.
9-17-24
Both plants still producing new flowers. #4 getting close to harvest, may begin cutting some top colas next week. Need to order trimmer first.
9-12-24
9-2-24
#4 starting to slow down new flower production. Good trichome coverage.
8-26-24
These have been flowering for about 7 weeks. Steady growth of new flowers in the colas.
8-18-24
New flowers forming on both plants. Finished trimming, need to clean up lower part of #4, lots of little new flowers forming.
8-14-24
Trimmed ends of all the little fan leaves to get more light on the flowers.
8-10-24
Nice colas forming on the GG in bucket #4.
8-10-24
Getting ready to clip ends from small fan leaves and remove the last of the little new flowers on lower stems.
8-5-24
Still trimming fan leaves and removing small stems to keep light on lower flowers.
Tent B
11-4-24
Great harvest from the GT3. GG still disappointing, still too many colas. Sleepy Joe is a bust, plant is too sensitive, easily stressed, dumping this one.
9-13-24
GG flowers very full and tight. SJ slower development, possibly because it was a couple of weeks younger than the other two plants. This SJ plant is slow growing and forms small colas, need to start a new seed that will do better.
9-13-24
Stigmas on GT3 starting to turn brown on the beginning of what may be large colas.
9-10-24
Good flower development on GG and GT3.
9-6-24
GT3
9-6-24
GT3
9-2-24
All stems on GT3 showing stigmas now.
8-30-24
First stigmas on GT3, 7 days from start of flowering stage.
8-26-24
Thinned out upper fan leaves on GG and SJ, separated stems to form a square. GT3 is around 34 1/2 inch high after bending taller stems to the average height.
8-23-24
Set lights to start flower stage today. GT3 is 33 to 33 1/2 inches high. A bit leggy, but should be able to fix that starting with the next clones for Tent A.
8-21-24
Tops on all plants are within 2 inch range, 9 inches below light. GT3 is 33 inches tall. I have been stripping some lower fan leaves from each plant for a few days. Cleaned out some of the top fan leaves blocking lower stems.
GT3 is using about 3/4 gallons a day, SJ and GG a little more than a half gallon a day.
8-16-24
These should be ready to flower next week, they have been in the tent for 5 weeks, 3 days. Up to 28 inches high on the GT3.
GG on two bricks, a little higher than the other two plants. Lots of new shoots with short internode space on 10? stems.
SJ stretched and flexible tops, easy to shape. Set on one brick so it will be closer to the light for thicker stems and a shorter internode distance.
8-10-24
Plants are from 23 to 25 inches high. Maybe more light when first placed in the buckets, 50%? Bend first three stems as low as possible to spread out base to reduce overall height of the plants.
8-10-24
12 stems on the GT3 is good for a 3 x 4 narrow shape. 3 x 3 on the two side by side plants seems to be the way to go. Fewer stems should help the slower growing GG and SJ keep up with the GT3.

Harvest
10-5-24
Sharp blade for wet trimming. Flowers before trimming
10-5-24
The rubber strips push the flowers around and the spinning blade below the grate trims the outer leaves.
10-5-24
Trimmed flowers and trim in bottom of bowl.
10-5-24
Trimmed Gorilla Glue in dryers. I still need to put flowers in oven for about 15 minutes at 170 degrees to get them dry. The basement humidity runs around 70%+.
