I took a bit of a risk and I gave them a heavy ish defoliation to try and get more light to lower parts and increase ventilation. I also repositioned the plants and added supports to some of the weaker branches.
I flushed them and am now giving plain ph’d water until harvest. (6.5-6.7)
I might add some microbial life approximately 10 days before harvest as they don’t contain any nutrients and should help to break down any remaining nutrients left in the soil. Apparently they also make your plants more productive as well so that’s a bonus.
I’m well aware that the back to the future #2 by tastebudzseeds is behind in terms of flower but at this stage I’m inclined to harvest altogether as I’ll be using the grow tent as a drying tent after chopping.
Pretty much 70-80% of the pistils on both gorilla cookies have turned amber and a lot of trichomes are either cloudy or turning cloudy.
This being my first auto grow I feel like I’ve learned a little bit about how they grow and can take that onto my next grow.
As they say;
you are never done learning.
That’s all for this week ✌️
