First week into flowering, Gorilla Glue is stretching more , genetically makes sense! Both look healthy, no issues. Also planted a spare Gelato and I will let it grow without any training, tree style!

20 days into flowering and thats how they are doing. Gorilla Glue is growing ideally for a first time grower, I really like it! Blue Gelato is a bit miserable but I cannot predict how it will go !

10 days later, more buds are formed, plants grow normally,, especially Gorilla Glue is growing smooth ! On the other hand, I experimented with defoliating Blue gelato as it was very bushy and no light penetrated lower budsites

Both continue growing without problems. Gorilla glue looks like its two weeks ahead, definetely Blue Gelato was stunned by defoliating

I defoliated second time, light defoliation on Blue Gelato again for light penetration reasons. Gorilla Glue is doing brilliantly! Weather is getting hot where I live, so temps are up a bit inside the growbox.

Tried to stretch Blue Gelato and I snapped the main stem in the middle. Noob problems, gaining XP ! Again, Gorilla Glue is ahead compared to Blue Gelato, I think when I crop, I will keep gelato more time under lights and crop it second

Trichromes are getting more , its day 52 of flowering and two weeks remaining according to theory. although Blue Gelato will stay more! It has reacted well after the snap. Nutrients are according to biobizz schedule and at their maximum amounts. Fingers crossed the grow will end up fine !

Another week, reaching the end of the grow. Both plants still producing new pistils so I will give extra one week to Gorilla glue compared to the seed provider timetable. As for the blue Gelato, definitely more than two weeks, I have accepted the fact that this strain has given me a hard time, Gelato is slow growing, short and miserable lady 😂 fingers crossed everything will work out

Grow Questions

Stamc87started grow question 4 years ago

Im day 60 of flowering, one of my plants has spider mites (GG4) no webs, i've tried spraying water soap & alcohol , they're still there, should i be worried in such a late stage ? If i find a ladybug i'll put her in the tent, what else ? Im freaking out !

I have no webs! But I can see some mites along with the dead ones on my leaves and I'm two weeks before harvest. I bought diatomaceous earth powder to make their life harder

Oooohhh snaaaap! A few more weeks! So, how was your first grow? Any lessons learned you can share? Sending the best of vibes to you and your plant/s. Enjoy the mutual growth you will have together! 🌱

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, thank you for your kind words, I will transfer them to the girls! Well, I tried topping method for first time grow and experiment, defoliation as well. On my checklist I won't try defoliation again as it stunned blue Gelato. Second lesson I learned is that I will invest in led light panel. My setup is a "starter kit", the procedure is very interesting and I am very impressed with the plants reactions. But I can see that with more powerful lighting, they would be bigger. My seed selection was random for this grow, but next time I will research more so I can avoid busts like the Gelato!
