This is my first diary and it's not really a diary since I'm only a couple of weeks from harvest. But I thought I might as well get started. I currently have four plants in a 3x3 tent, all topped twice ending up with 8 equal branches. Still learning this technique but I like it very much. The strains are Gorilla Glue, Critical K, Special K and WW, all from RQseeds. Ive done a couple of grows with this method(manifold) and usually end up with 60-65 g. per plant after 8 weeks of veg and 7-9 weeks of flower. Each plant under a 52 actual wattage cree3590 LED. Biobizz All-Mix soil. Biobizz root, grow, bloom, topmax. I'm not overly satisfied with the yield but it fills my needs, though I would like to be able to yield 80 g. like this. Maybe I need more light, longer veg period, bigger pots, better grasp of nutes, better timing when defoliating/lollipopping/pruning. Lots of stuff to get better at which makes this whole shabang a lot of fun.

After 9 weeks and 6 days of flowering I've cut the Gorilla down. It's now gonna hang and dry in a 2x2 tent under a RH of 50-60 and a 20-22 degree C. I hang each of the 8 colas without trimming them beforehand at all and let them dry until the small branches starts to break instead of bending. Then I know it's time for the jars. It usually takes 8-10 days but I would prefer to hang them for longer, but it's not always possible. Fermentation of the plant is an art in itself and probably the most important part of the whole grow process. I'll return with info on yield in a couple weeks. :)

I'm really not good at describing tastes, so I'll just say that I like it very much. It's pretty strong and overall a nice experience.

More light, yield is based on lights ☝️ A long Veg is even better, 8 to 9 weeks depending on your ceiling 😉 After comes the genetics, you won’t get Coke can Colas or donkey dick buds from it. Gorilla Glue grows eggs or chicken drumsticks buds, this is why it’s better to have as more shoots as possible.

@Blazeit420, yes, absolutely, more roots more fruits 😉

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Hi and thanks for the reply. I did read that gorilla wasn't a high yielder and i'm not really looking for highest THC levels, which apparently the gorilla provides, but I just thought it would be fun to try it :). Yes, more light wouldn't hurt. I currently have 4 x 52w LED and thinking of adding two more in the not so distant future. Do you think upgrading from a 11.5 L to 15 L pots will have a significant impact on yield? I just bought some 15 liter pots for my next grow.

@Blazeit420,your weed looks really good to compare to my lady I think i did hardly screw up

Blazeit420commented7 years ago
@TomatoloverBoy, Not particularly dense, i would describe the buds as to the airy and fluffy side.

nice :) total only 52W for 1 plant?

Blazeit420commented7 years ago
@Meatfly, I have 4 lights in the whole tent(3x3x6ft) and usually have 4 plants in it. 1 lamp(52w) hanging above each plant. So the Gorilla was under 1 x 52w LED light. I'm currently running my first auto and using 2 x 52w lights on a Royal Creamatic Auto.
