Tipping the plant over on its side was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Height restrictions led me to this decision and I’m so glad I did! A better pic is coming but how freakin cool is that!? Flip to flower actually occurred October 2, and within a week white hairs were ALL over. Did some light defoliation, last minute light LST to keep stretching under control; she probably gained about 8” easily in a week once flipped. The fast genetics in this plant are showing as the hairs are filling in everywhere!
I began my compost tea prep for the tasty flowering recipe that has worked for me in the past. It is as follows:
In a 3.5 Gal oxygenated water bucket, “cooked” for 72 hours:
4 TBSP - Black Strap Molasses
2 CUP - Earth Worm Casting
2 TBSP - Alfalfa Meal
2 TBSP - Kelp Meal
1 heaping TBSP - Seabird Guano
2 TBSP - Gaia Green Flower
Prepared on 10/11, and also did a prep feed on 10/11 of 1/2 gal oxygenated water with 1/4 tsp Recharge.
One thing to note, Cal/Mag, Cal/Mag, Cal/Mag!
In the week or so that followed the flip n feed I noticed brown spots on middle to some newer leaves indicating, to me, cal Mag deficiency. Ah, the infamous cal Mag issues in flower. I have checked pH, it checked out, and I have since done a few mini flushes with 1/2 dose of cal Mag with 1/2 gal to 1 gal 6.8 pH feeds. It is currently slowly coming back and flowering continues to BOOM!
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!
