Royal Gorilla Auto outdoor by Magnetous

Outdoor season is on! Here in Belgium without greenhouse I only consider growing autos. So here is the gorilla started directly outdoor this time. She faced very cold nights so the growth is quite slow but she will catch up when the temps raise a bit. She is planted in the same soil as my last year grow so it's a new way for me. Will see how much and when she needs nutes. The weather is so fucked up that the few days of sun we had where way too rough for those little seedling with so I had to build some temporary greenhouses to protect them from burning.

Low temps, hard sunlight, the ladies are struggling a bit so I decided to give a try to a special recipe I found on IG witch is a smoothie of fresh plants to feed them. I found it on the account of @dragonflyearthmedecine , go check out they have amazing tips for growers!! So here is how it goes: "Fresh blended tea was made from nettle, horsetail, dandelion greens and chickweed. Chop them up and put into your high powered blender with half water. Fill up 1/3 of your tea container with the plant slurry add 1 tsp per gallon of Radiant Green (or another bacterial inoculant that will speed up the breakdown process in the soil) and fill container with non chlorinated water. Drench plants immediately. The fresh enzymes, growth hormones, complete minerals and tons of raw vitamins are so great for your soil! The plants look noticeably healthier in 1 hour! A wonderful instant superfood smoothie for plants. " quote from their IG I don't have chickweed so I replaced it by comfrey but this thing is just miraculous!!! Give it a try!

We have sun but temps are still cold here so she grows a bit slowly. Aphids and co are already at work but I manually eradicate any threat! Nothing more for now.

As temps rise growth accelerate! I sprayed some horse tail tea on all the plant to bring more silica and help nutes uptake. The recipe can still be found on the @Dragonflyearthmedecine IG account, I'll post it here: "Horsetail Tea for foliar. Foliar spraying is the best way for a plant to uptake vital minerals. Plant minerals are easily extracted in a overnight steeping process. Collect your herbs early in the morning. Boil water. Let it cool for 5 minutes and then add your horsetail (or other herbs). Let steep in pot over night, strain and foliar full strength or dilute with water. This steeping process extracts all the minerals and what is left is a full spectrum mineral supplement that your plants easily understand. Horsetail is very rich in silica and the tea coats the leaves to aide in beneficial microbial population and a protective shield or extra layer that helps with pathogens. Spray plants in the early morning hours. Coat all parts of stem and stalk. We like to do at least 4 horsetail foliars during veg. The plants respond almost immediately!💚🌱" And yes they do love that! Sorry for the lack of pics.

First pistils are coming out! As I live in a quite windy place it can be dangerous to lst by attaching the branches to the pot so I came up with a little trick. Call it self supported lst gear, hope it will do the job! You can't see it in this single pic but the tech as been applied to every node. More pics next week!

Those two ladies are fine! Growing accordingly with the few sunny days they get, currently the weather is mostly cloudy. This year I see very few parasites compared to other years so I have less job on the manual extermination process. I decided for the second year to not use any kind of product to prevent parasites attacks and I have to say I see no difference with when I was using neem oil... It takes me 5 to 10 min per plant to manually remove the few aphids and friends that show up from time to time and I manage to keep the plants clean this way. Of course with more or bigger plants it would be too much time consuming but in my case it works fine. Also I find those two strains quite hungry compared to all the previous strains I grew outdoors. They can take nutes almost every day, and the sun isn't even shining bright! We should have a more sunny month of Jully so let see what the flowering phase brings us!

Hi guys! Outdoor in Belgium is tricky! We have really shitty weather so far, not too much rain but very cloudy and not much sun! So I think they could grow faster but anyway they are in good shape. I try to lower the nutes when the sun is too shy. But from now on they forcast sunny days so the growth should accelerate (and more pics to come fore sure)! Cya soon!

Finally some more sun! Growth should explose this next weeks! See you then! Took off all the fan leaves on the main stem.

Wow! Thank you mighty sun! You really make things go faster here! We have had a Californian weather here for a few days and the effects are directly visible! And the weather should continue like this for a few more weeks! I particularly don't like high temps but the ladies are seriously enjoying! I'm happy to see that parasites are not very active so I don't have much to do to get rid of them! Only a few aphids to eliminate every day! So see you next week with, I hope, super fat buds!

Hi there! The ladies seem to enjoy this exceptionally sunny weather we have. Fattening up impressively and growing big trichomes is what is going on here! Bonus is the bugs and parasites seem to have decided to leave them alone so I even don't have to much work to do. The smell is amazing but less sweet than the ccockies! Can't wait for the harvest! See you soon

This year is really like no other regarding the weather! Girls still fattening nicely! We had the two first and only rainy days since two month so I covered them, don't wanna take any risk of but rot and co! Trichomes are huge! As it is very tricky to take live macro shots outdoor with the permanent little breeze we have here I may not be able to show nice pics of them but I tell you I never saw such big trichs! Those new genetics are amazing! See you next week

Guys I never had such a beauty outdoor here in Belgium!!! 😍😍 The continuously hot and shiny weather of this last three month was hard for the body but apparently very good for the plants. They are fat and so smelly! The trichs look huge! I can't wait to vape them! The gorilla is now on flush and should be chopped by the end of the week! I hope I will manage to do some more macros outside if the wind allows me to! See you next week for the harvest!

Ok this strain is definitely one of the most good looking I grew. The yield was nice and the buds are appealing... but, I'm really not a huge fan of diesely/gasy strains and this one tastes a lot like that. I knew that before growing it but had to try it. The high is quite happy and makes you wanna smile but if you take too much it will definitely push you in bed! So don't get me wrong I'm totally happy with this plant but I think I will mainly turn it into frenchy cannoli hash ball!! See you again soon folks and happy growing!
