FabioFobia First experience without sunlight and horse manure. Referring to the indoor issue, I always thought: "I won't do it, but if I do, I'll let my imagination run wild."
And here I am with a hydroponic setup, a few basics, a lot of curiosity, and a desire to play.
In the first 10 days, I had problems with timing the water pump functionally... in fact, the plants suffered from too much water.

FabioFobia I'm starting to suspect that the two plants have different phenotypes...the one on the right is more vigorous. I should increase the EC level, but I'm not doing it.

FabioFobia We're entering the 12-12, and the game is getting interesting. The girls continue their amazing growth, and every day they change shape, increasing the challenge of keeping them contained within their little home. I've removed the dehumidifier, but I'm waiting for the first buds to start using the extractor. The red ladybug represents the maximum height I can utilize.

FabioFobia Here are the first burn marks from excess nutrients. This all happened due to a calculation error... Apparently, my EC meter wasn't lying when it showed over 2000ppm... I'm trying to bring the values back to a more suitable level. Despite this, the gorillas have remained explosive!!!

FabioFobia The week starts with a sulfur deficiency (many petioles have turned magenta, and pink spots have appeared on one leaf), this is due to not waiting for the new solution to reach an appropriate pH level before pouring it into the system. Despite everything, super lush growth. The 2 little sisters have different traits: one is flowering faster, stretching like a sativa and has roots that don't go down into the reservoir where the aqueous solution is but remain in the expanded clay, unlike the other whose roots have invaded the entire hydroponic system (let's hope they don't damage the water pump). The latter tends to stay more compact with closer internodes like an indica and has never shown signs of deficiencies (handles pH fluctuations of 1 point well).

FabioFobia This week the water temperature in the tank dropped to 18 degrees and in some cases even to 17. Even though the gorilla girls have shot up, they showed signs of deficiency, especially sulfur. So for these cold months, I ordered a thermostat to keep the water temperature around 20 degrees.

FabioFobia I added the thermostat to keep the nutrient solution at 20 degrees, then as a good beginner, I went overboard with the EC value (over 2000ppm) and now the leaves of the gorilla are starting to burn. This strain could even be grown by my 2-year-old son, impossible to kill... anyway, next week I'll drop to EC 1200ppm and I'll put a small dehumidifier in the grow box.

FabioFobia Incredible!!! Every day, more than a liter of water disappears from the reservoir. This week I’ve brought the EC levels down to acceptable levels. The house is starting to smell fantastic: sweet truffle with a hint of orange, a delight... The two genotypes continue to show different traits: the plant on the left is now coloring its leaves magenta and gives off a sweet diesel scent, while the plant on the right retains its color but has a more earthy and citrusy smell.

FabioFobia This week the flowers have slowed down their growth but continue to produce copious amounts of trichomes. Looking at other diaries on this same strain, I've noticed that in many cases it tends to increase the volume of the buds in weeks 8 and 9.

FabioFobia These flowers continue their growth, we're in the last week before the final flushing. The trichomes on the highest buds are starting to appear amber, while everything else is milky or almost.

FabioFobia I decided to start the flushing, but leaving useful substances circulating in the system for this final phase. This is because, being hydroponic, a heavy flushing would ruin the flavor by making the plant wilt too quickly. In the last 3 days of the final week, I will rinse everything with rainwater.

FabioFobia I found a bud with a bit of mold, I'm pretty sure I cleaned well... I was planning to finish in 10 weeks experimenting with a light but longer flushing, but given the mold risk, I won't push it past 9 weeks and 3 days.
As for the rest, the 2 gorilla girls have increased the volume of their flowers and achieved copious concentrations of trichomes....
See you at harvest!!!!

FabioFobia In the end, I decided to finish the whole tenth week of flowering with 3 days of flushing, 2 days of just rainwater, and 2 days without water and light... finally, to ensure a slower and more even drying, I'm trying to hang the healthy plants leaving leaves and branches... probably the temperature will fluctuate between 17 and 19 degrees and the humidity between 55% and 70%... I hope that all the choices I made will lead me to a good product. I guess we'll see each other again in the first week of February for the conclusion of the diary, in the meantime, thanks to those who followed me during these 4 months... GROWDIARIES is a great motivation to do better.

Happy Harvest Day!

Small preface: this genetics is not very stable, I realized this initially by comparing with other diaries, later having used 2 seeds I realized the huge difference they had during all phases of growth until reaching the organoleptic properties...the result was 2 extremely different cannabis varieties but with one thing in common: one took on the characteristics of Girl Scout Cookies with that sweet OG flavor with a hint of gasoline, completely purple buds and having matured faster it is more loaded with CBN, thus a heavy effect where closing your eyes you can get lost in the fuckcosmos...the other one resembles the classic Gorilla Glue a lot in this case with a hint of mint from the Thin Mint phenotype of GSC, very slow maturation, in fact much more THC, in this case a more energetic and creative effect, the color of the buds was light green.
I find myself with two phenotypes of the same genetics that besides being a delight for the palate also have a complementary effect for day and night...fucking powerful.

FabioFobia The only note I feel like mentioning is that the phenotype with the characteristics of Girl Scout Cookies suffered from mold during the flowering stage, unlike the other phenotype, which was extremely resistant throughout the growth cycle, withstanding the stress caused by my lack of experience with hydroponic techniques.
