Almost a week has passed since the last report, the process is in full swing - the dynamics can be seen in the photo.
I thought that blooming had started and switched the power supply to Bloom. The bud igniter has disappeared somewhere (:C), so this time I'll start right away with the Big Bud. The growth rate has increased, and now I raise the lamp by 3-4 cm every day. The plant turns out to be compact. With the exception of two brazen shoots that unexpectedly broke out of the total mass of foliage, but this time the cultivation takes place in the "relaxation" mode, so let them grow as they are, in my opinion, not a critical situation.
The gorilla is blooming, but I will not say that it smells - if you just touch the leaves, only the scent of evil classics remains on your fingers. Now there are more and more trichomes, the smell should soon change to a characteristic of a certain strain (where are my candies?!)
As a result, I couldn't stand it and performed an HST (fracture) to correct the situation. The broken shoots after the fracture again rose above the others, but not as high as they were before.
I carried out the first defoliation - everything according to the rules, for the fastest recovery, I turned down the light a little and put the fan from the second speed to the first (to increase humidity).
I treat the Gorilla as an autoflowering strain - in 3 weeks another haircut and that's enough
@antikvar13, Thanks, bro! I continue to enjoy the growth, but the smell is driving me crazy, and I already want to enjoy the smoke 😅. But, of course, I will be patient until the end
@Sammy07, 🤝 😎 Regardless of the strain, if it develops from the seed immediately under 12/12, he will have several weeks of vegetation (how much exactly depends on the strain). Personally, I have not used anything more than what is noted in the training in my diary. During the growing season, only LST. Perhaps stress could prolong the growing season, but I have not yet tested these methods in practice. I decided to start the current growing in a classic style for me, adjusted for 12/12.
@smalinet,Hi,yeah I have had a look at your diaries all I can say is your good farmer keep up the good work🙏🏽🙏🏽.If on 12/12 how do you control the veg period?? Did you top or fim to keep in veg?? I ask as the lighting is 12/12 just intrigued by this method of growing i have not come across many diaries.
@Mz876, Thanks! The end result is also very interesting to me, given that the rate of development of this photoperiod turned out to be slightly slower than that of autoflowering strains. It remains to compare the final result and make a conclusion about the effectiveness of training 12/12
coming soon ;)
@Bigbeans, thx, bro!
It's very intriguing to read such reviews, since I'm a little late with keeping a diary, but the plant is not waiting for anyone and the buds are getting bigger and bigger. And the sweet aroma is just great ...
Eh, the appetite is warming up :)
