Amnesia is 5 weeks today. Lots to say about this one, as expected she is big and bendy, so bendy in fact that I was able to try out my new LST clips on her and they work pretty well, able to ben the branches 90 degrees without snapping and the clips hold it all in place instead of trying to stand up again. I was even able to use them on the much more rigid Jack47. So this enabled me to have a scrog effect. The flowers are coming along fast. Can't wait to see how this ends up.
The Jack 47 is not too rigid but it's thick branches would normally just be left till they grow long enough to try and bend them out a bit without snapping them off at the stem. However I was even able to get some LST clips into this and form a lower canopy with the two topped branches coming out the top. I may also flatten them out later depending on what happens. Now that she is flipping I'm expecting some good growth next week, but I don't know, never grown this one before, my LST work made all the beautiful large lower fan leaves point downwards, I removed them all today.
Gorilla Cookies, what to say about this genetic monstrosity, she it beginning to stretch. The only reason I'm not throwing this out is that I want to be certain that it is a Gorilla Cookie, because I planted a replacement bean, and it looks completely normal. I thought the fat leaves on the Gorilla was good when I first saw it, until I realised it wasn't.
@JaramnieJazz, ah yes this is the question, it is the special substrate, it keeps a perfect 20/80 air/water ratio and also it causes the roots to keep subdividing finer and finer and finer till they are almost disappear into the substrate. They are very fine but they do not get damaged because the substrate holds them securely. So even though it is only one litre, it behaves like 6L or more. They could also be used in a DWC instead of clay balls in the net pot you could use a mini pyramid shaped to fit.
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Gorilla Cookies Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
