@adam69, deff get flawlessfinish and I use Budcandy and/or some raw molasses works just as well. If you Fimm or top them aslong as its after the third node and a lil bit before the preflower stretch your good cause it will be plenty of time to recover and that preflower stretch will help... but deff start using the raw cane molasses before the preflower stretch. about two weeks before flowering begins... the starches sugars are really good for the stretch and ive personally seen a much larger and better growth spurt during that stretch when Ive used the molasses as opposed to not using it. I ran an experiment with a control group of plants and deff noticed a big difference with the molasses. otherwise man looks like your off to a great start and remember keep it simple lol basically do not over think its. If you think it wont work do not do it.... I usually go into every grow with a solid game plan and will not defer or change last minute quick decisions are what usually kill a crop... or severely damage it and stunt it... so keep it simple!

No problem! Also I only got 2 out of the 3 I ordered to germinate so not bad on the break down really. They are a bit fickle but one they get going... as you see for yourself.. mine has really taken off for an auto ist rather large

Ive seen so many people do it and they make it seem so easy but I’m worried about messing up and suffering yield, I just want the most I can get out of these genetics with what I have

@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...

Man I really wanna know like how you did that because it looks amazing, all the tops look perfect and the buds look fantastic, when I think gorilla glue I think of a plant that looks like that

adam69commented6 years ago

@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!

Hey man - following your grow :-) how long did your seeds take to germinate, I'm super new to all this so I'm having trouble evaluating whether I'm late or on schedule here :)

@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!

XpectResistancecommented6 years ago

@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.

@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! 😜😎

I know this was 6 months ago, but did you have to flip her at all? I’m growing the same strain from growers choice, and another grower commented saying after 7 weeks, he ended up having to flip to 12/12. I did some digging and it turns out a bunch of people said that their gg auto seeds never flowered until they forced 12/12, with a bunch of others saying Growers Choice has a bad reputation for this. I’m just curious because this is my first Auto grow, and I would be so disappointed if it turns out they aren’t even Autos

XpectResistancecommentedweek 76 years ago

I do not make videos yet... but will be soon. sorry!

adam69commented6 years ago

@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
