GorillaGlue#4 Grow #1

@XpectResistance, love the saying and thanks for all the help I really do appreciate it, I know a good amount about growing medicine but I just haven’t really looked into the FIM technique or low stress training that much, honestly I started with just topping one plant here and there and some defoliation and with the other plant I mainlined it but that plant ended up being a male (last “season” it was just two bag seeds so I expected at least one of them to be a male if not both) I mainly stick to minimal training and some topping and some nutrients, the bag seeds were just to get a little bit more experience because before that I ran a white widow auto and ak47 auto grow but that had like regular light bulbs and tin foil so it was very ghetto and I only pulled a half off of each plant, at least with the last one (the female bag (mystery) seed) I got almost 2oz but it was very light and airy and it smelled like hay even after I cured it but when it was grinded up it smelled like diesel, I think it was airy because I didn’t give it any potassium during bloom because I didn’t have any nutrients other than calmag at the time. hopefully this grow will be better in the end thanks to you, I’m glad the growing community isn’t full of asses, so far I’ve only heard from helpful and respectful people and I’m happy, I thought I would get more crap because of my bad setup but so far no one seems to care they all just wanna help me get better and I’ve even helped a few people too so I’m glad I started coming here and with the people here I don’t ever really feel like I’m talking their ear off with the subject because they like to talk about the same thing

@adam69, I wish you the best sir! You'll get it I have faith and if you have any other questions or anything I can do my best to help you out anytime.. ___________________________________ Do Not Hate, CULTIVATE! ______ ___ _

@adam69, As far as when to FIMM... I always do it the exact moment I see the third node pop up. That night, right before lights out, I snip her. I find that is the optimal time during her growth cycle and time of day to FIMM. She snaps right back from it within a day or three at most. Also it is well before her preflower stretch which again allows her time to recuperate and will not stunt her stretch pre flower. I know it feels like your doing something wrong by cutting that top growth but trust me you get over it after your first time and you see the growth spurt on all the secondary branches and how much the plant pops afterward... get over that lil gut feeling really quick, lol...

@CRiSPrGrow, Truth!

@XpectResistance, the tough thing about learning is that no one can do it for you 😭

@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you kindly sir! I've been following your grows. Very good also my friend! keep up the learn! _______________________________ Do Not Hate, Educate and Cultivate!

@adam69,https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics/#cannabis-plant-training That is where I learned how to do what I did in this grow...

@XpectResistance, I’m not gonna lie I searched your name on here on YouTube yesterday hoping to find a video on how you did it because I’ve been looking to do the same thing to my gg autos but I’m just not exactly sure how, like I don’t know when to do them F.I.M and I don’t know which way to do it because I’ve learned one where you just pull half of the top off (like the side half) and one where you pull the top half of the top off, I think I found one video explaining it in somewhat detail but I couldn’t really follow too well

@adam69, I LST'ed her and tied her down. I had her spread wide open right before flowering. About two weeks into flower I tied her upright to the bamboo and garden stakes cause I knew the buds would get very dense and heavy so I needed support... and well she just kind of came out pretty close to perfect like that! I agree though she does look very sexy indeed! 😀😎😜👽 Oo almost forgot I also FIMMED her to get all the secondary branches to pop!

@XpectResistance, dude 2 weeks? my gawd I would have given up WAAAY before then if not for your advice just now ! ha what a trip man! These gorrila seeds are complicated young women arent they? but I hope the payoff will be tasty ! SEEN ! Thank you man for clearing that up for me!

@CRiSPrGrow, This seed took almost 2 weeks I actually went and planted something else in its bucket only to have to transplant it when this guy finally decided to pop up, lol. However, my other grow the seed came up within days of planting it. I do not follow the paper towel method I find it puts the seedling and taproot at too much risk. I just plant the old fashion way. I have not had much trouble with germination.

@@LegalGrowZA, Thank you for the kind words! I've started using dry cane molasses now. Works much better and is way less messy to deal with. Happy Grows! 👽😎😃

@OutForReal, Oh its a whole new ball game smoking my very own grown marijuana... love it! absolutely luv it!

@stardawg12, first I grew in my homemade soil mix with the main component homemade compost/worm garden Ive been working on for awhile now. Combined that with 20% perlite and two cups store bought cow manure into my main grow bucket(7 gallon cleaned kitty litter bucket). As far as nutes. I ran a very light feeding regime of AdvancedNutrients 3 part(Micro, Grow, Bloom). I applied two OrganicTea feedings. One during veg and one at beginning of flower. Also began applying Molasses and coconut water last week of veg and straight thru till harvest. Flushed with PH'ed water/ AdvancedNutrients FlawlessFinish/ Coconut Water and Molasses Happy Grow! Will follow your grow would love to see your results! 😜😎

@jh573561, Thanks for your kind words! if you ever need anything or have questions. Do not hesitate to ask.

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks forgot to adjust that.

@Nickname11123, Thanks bud! Try to be as descriptive as possible so maybe someone watching or reading might gain knowledge, help or otherwise from my grows... even if its what not to do, lol! Thanks for your kind words and follow! 😏

@XpectResistance, I FIMmed the three of them because I read that thing in the link you posted and it explained it perfectly and if I waited just a couple more days it would’ve been “too late” they were already just barely popping out the fith set of leaves so I decided to just go for it and hope for the best, I feel like I topped two of them instead of FIMing but I won’t find out until later I guess, I didn’t want to top because of the stress but if I did it would not be too big of a deal for me but it would be a little upsetting I guess because they would take a bit to recover and autos don’t have that time to lose, I’m trying to make sure everything goes right this grow but it’s hard when doing new techniques and I’m also hoping to start using some of the advanced nutrients line up later on once they start flowering but that’s if I can get enough money for them, I want 7 but that’s probably unrealistic so I would like to know the basics I should have, I have cal mag (knock off type stuff) and some knock off micro nutrients and the fox farm trio, I want bud candy, bud ignitor, big bud, bud factor x, overdrive, and flawless finish and I’m also wanting some voodoo juice But idk if I’d be able to get that for this grow
