WOW. What a ride! Time for a long awaited update. Life happened and let this be a testament to this strain’s genetics because I thought we were going to lose her there!
Firstly, we lost ALL the NL Autos :-(
They simply wilted away badly, one seedling was bad and the rest followed. I suspect it was a combination of not being ready to transplant into larger pots combined with too much neglect. For free seeds though, I shook it off and was able to focus solely on this Gorilla Girl, and man was I glad I did!
LST, LST, LST!!! What can I say, the GG fast got thirsty and just took off! After consistently bending the main stem down to allow side branches to catch up it absolutely blew up. Furthermore, at least one branch snapped, which I quickly taped up and it knuckled nicely!
The biggest concern was light distance. Therefore, since I’ve gone through this much and still came out on top, I’m going with a sideways tilt method to help with light distance for stretch accommodation.
Forget the #’s down there for nutrients etc. my math for that sucks. My soil solution was as follows:
7gal fabric pot
1/2 Fox farm Ocean Forest
1/2 Fox Farm Strawberry Fields
3 Cups earth worm castings
1 tsp Recharge with 1.5 Gal oxygenated water every other week or so.
Switched lights to 14/10, and 12/12 last 2 weeks before flipping to flower to help transition.
Curious to see if anyone has input on these strains. The autos were free, the GG Fast's I bought and want to know any advice towards them both. Thanks!
Yes I have ran this pheno :) Check out my gorilla girl Diary it didn't go to plan but I still got some nice bud from her they grow insanely fast and if you veg them longer than 3 weeks they will be hard to control in my experience. Best of luck pal mine finished up in 7 weeks of flower :) I have not grew northern lights by seedsman though I am growing black sugar from seedsman at the min and shes going well I cant moan :)
@Sweet_Seeds,
This genetic is kick ass! I won’t lie, we had a bit of a “getting to know each other” phase during veg, and training was absolutely key. Yet it could handle everything I threw at it with a smile on her face. Very responsive and capable genetics!
