x6 Gorilla glue cracked on the 17/7/18
From the breeder :
A new must-have strain has just landed in our feminised seed catalogue: Gorilla, an indica-dominant (60%) hybrid derived from the cross between Chocolate Diesel, Chem Sister and Sour Dubb. Internationally acclaimed for her amazing resin count, her ball-shaped, super-dense, resin-packed flowers stand out for the aroma and for the white colour that covers them when fully ripe.
Another big highlight is the effect. Extremely potent and with nearly 25% THC, this is one of those heavy indicas that relax your body completely. Notes of oil with earth and citrus undertones.
Gorilla looks exactly like a hybrid would: medium/large structure with mid-sized internodes and light-green leaves. Easy to grow, this is not a particularly demanding strain, but some basic knowledge is definitely required, particularly with regard to fertilizers.
Gorilla cannot be overfed, that's why a light diet is very much preferred. And as she is not particularly resistant to moisture or drought, she needs to be watered sparingly but regularly. We also recommend pruning, mostly on the lower leaves and branches so that the upper part can have enough energy to thrive.
Day 22
All is good in the grow tent on day 21 , Plants were moved onto 20ltr air pots on day 15 . Growth has been excellent and they are now under a 600watt HPS . That has caused a few heat issues im struggling with so decided im going to save for a top line LED system in the next 5-6 weeks as its better not to cause the heat and then pay to get rid of it lol
and pay to cool it . Plant number 6 is Miles ahead of the rest Im guessing its has to do with the Mills vitalize she gets .
,
Day 29
So its been a busy week , Have removed the hps due to high temps over 33 ( they didnt like that much) so the girls are under some t5 until Friday when the new MIGRO400 arrives , All plants have been topped this week and Mills A+B have been upped to 2ml as they started to lighten up a little as expected as they grow ,
,
The next week will just be tying the odd branch down to keep an even canopy and most likely switch to 12/12 in the next 7-14 days
Day 36 (3 of 12/12)
So this week we had a new light , The MIGRO 400 , IT instantly fixed the heat issue and the plants love it , Its set at 14 inches above the canopy and is currently on 50% power ,
The plants were switched to 12/12 3 days ago (Day 33 ) . There has been no need to LST to keep a level canopy , The plants have naturally done that themselves since topping . This week we plan on reducing mills start R Daily from Wednesday to Saturday and
at that point we will have finished with this excellent product for this grow and start on mills c4 for the next stage of there life . Plant 6 the sativa dom continues to tower ahead and now has a good few inch advantage on the others , They seem to have all shot up 2" since flipping to 12/12 just 48hours ago . We are now coming up to my fav / most paranoid part of growing flowering :)
Day 43 ( 10 of 12/12)
All has been good in the garden this week , Plants are All growing well and they are on there stretch , The internodes are tight on all the plants . Mills start R Is done for this grow And mills c4 will start next week . . the sativa dom(plant 6 ) has a good 6" on the others so will be super cropped to the same hight
The temps have been super stable although RH has been around 70% so ive ordered a new 6" rhino pro L and a controller so suck that moisture out a bit quicker, The room RH is 45-50%
Day 50 ( 17 of 12/12 ) Well Everything in the groom is growing Very well, We did have a little cal/mag issue to deal with but thats sorted now , Will be doing another update tomorrow as this one was late . Ive also upgraded the extraction to a 6" systemair , Kinda gutted though as now i have to fork out more on a variac 3 or 5 step type controller for it :(
The mills c4 has been started now . Also 3 of the plants got a bit tall so i Super cropped them
So far these have been a stress free grow props to @dinafem
Day 64 ( 31 of 12/12 ) So a good week in the grow room , Been sorting out some life issues so havnt been online as much as i wanted, The girls are looking fantastic , Mills c4 has been upped to 1ml and as there all nice and green. i didn't up mills A+B like there chart suggests as if anything there a little too green , Ph at every feed has been 5.7 & end run off is 6.1 .
As we are into the full swing of flower i can see we have x3 different pheno types im sure , Plant number 5 is VERY strong incida in shape and appearance And looks like it will finish way ahead of the rest so far , it already had VERY tight internodes and is shaping up to had HUGE buds .
Plants 3 - 6 & 4 are looking the most sativa and there buds look furthest from finish ,
(EC : 1.6)
1 & 2 look epic and lots like the lots like the images on the dinafem site so far , and are growing fat
@Lovebud, We can not wait for our new beast "Gorilla" to enter the flower phase. Now you have a new light let's see what these amazing ladies can do ✌️
100% germination is fantastic and from the pictures all plants look in tip top shape ✌️
Keep up the great work my friend and I'll be back in on the next update to see how things are progressing 👍
Until then ✌️
All the best

@bobo420, Thanks mate , The 2 phenos are proper showing themselves now from each other , Plant 6 is actually huge
, Today the new Migro 400 came so the girls went under that ), Pretty exited about flowering under this light as it has gr8 reviews :)
So we switched to 12/12 saturday , Mainly as the sativa dom plant (6) IS getting crazy big next to the 50/50 plants , The fat indica looking plant is so freaking nice and flat its unreal , I did plan on LST to keep the canopy level but so far the plants have done them themselfs after topping , Feed is now 2.5mpl of mills A+B and 1mpl of mills start -r , Update images tomorrow night
@DinafemSeeds, Hi mark thanks for checking back in on the grow , We are now on week 4 technically just late with the update :) will be doing a quick video after feeding in an hour or 2 ,
@Lovebud, How are things going my friend?
Have you now been in flower for 3 week's?
I hope all is well and will look out for the next diary update 👊
All the best
Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, Thanks mark , Thanks for the gr8 seeds , 100% germ rate and it looks like 2 pheno types in the 6
, All are growing lovely so far with no issues, She is a strong girl as temps are hitting 30 due to not being able to extract outside :( but she cares not . Going to try get a high end LED ASAP so i can turn of the wasted power the AC is using and the wasted power the HPS causes VIA heat .
Looking at topping them this week and start a little LST , Looking for flip to 12/12 day 35-40 ish
. Thanks for joining in and watching , I hope i can do your Genetics proud !!!!
It looks like the buds have now kicked into overdrive and are really starting to pack on that weight 👊
Things look great in here buddy👊
Keep up the great work and I'll drop back in on the next update ✌️
All the best
