Gorilla punch, new strain from FB will be ran on jungle juice trio, enzymes and the whole line up.
Will be 24hrs in water..78ppm 20C water. And then it'll go onto PT for 24-36hrs and then we'll go from there.
These will veg in a 70x70 so I can keep RH in 60-70% range and as then start to flower they'll be moved out of my grow room and into the 150x150 and when all are in flower then I can bring my grow rooms RH down to 45 and move everything back in a controlled environment where I can bring the RH down as low as 35-40%. Hope they all turn into flower in a 2-3 so period. I'm also running 2 DWC photos so as soon as everything has flipped into veg they'll be also getting flipped. Hoping the DWC will speed up the veg process to 5 weeks for DWC.
Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Drop a like so I know you came so I can view your diaries, if you what to of course.
Was able to go full steam ahead with this 1. And apply the 3 recommend nutrients to be used for seedlings.
La Calavera is the exact same formula as Voodoo Juice. How can this be you ask..(As it would be copyright), well it would be if it wasn't for the fact that these ppl, (Terra Power), are the ones who own and hold the pattens to voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, which made AN famous. They decided to break away and all the formulas they made for AN over the years they taken 90% of them and used modern day research with autos/ruderails in mind. Their base nutes alone will blow you away. Have a look at their claims. Led-grower.eu/terra-power/.
As for the plant, new strain, new nutes, new whole entire set up with a 90% controlled environment, I say 90% cause I'm waiting to get the air exchange and AC installed in my grow room. Soon it'll be 100% be able to bring temp up as high as 28c and as low as 17c. Atm I can control RH. I can bring it up to 70 by just closing my door/tent windows and then by adding a damp towel and after a few days of the grow room door closed the RH will go up to 70+% and I'll only open the door every couple hours to swap out air until my air exchanger is installed. I can get the RH as low as 35% with a full tent 30 with 1 or 2 plants. So, hoping this time I can grow top A grade bud, as the last stuff was nice my 1st harvest was C grade weed. Was still half decent though. The others were B grade for sure. Hoping this time with the money I'm going to be putting in electricity it's goman be A grade. As I'll be looking at nearly 1kwh every 2hrs. That's 7e a day when the dehuimifier will be running when in flower. But as I'm vegging everything in a 70x70 with 1 light I'll get 4-5 wks for only having to pay 80cents a day. And I'll have great high RH. And as soon as some start to flower they'll be put in the 150x150 and I'll bring the RH in the room down but it'll still stay high in the 70x70 once I have the windows sealed up. If I can't get the RH below 45-55% for pre flower I'll have lots of room in the 150x150 to put the dehumidifier in and bring down the tents RH while keeping the Rooms RH high for the small tent. I'll just run the intake fan for the 150x150 from outside the grow room up in to the attic which the RH is 50% so air intake from the room will be too high for the big tent to use.
30/4/22 Veg started: first signs of life popped up today. Going to keep em on root stims and enzymes for now. Haven't fed since planted so will water with .1 300ppm today. All the EC comes from La Sirena. Makes
Will just sit back for now and let em do their thing hopefully in 48hrs will have some leafs or shell pushing up. She's growing straight up. So for now, it's just watching for any signs, (such as browning of the stem, bent stems and any early on diseases if any will hamper the plants formation of her 1st 2 fan leafs. You wanna see them no later than 24-48hrs after she pops her head up out of the ground).
1/5/22 VD 2 really at to coming on. Went from .5 to nearly 3cm.
4/5/22 Growing really well. Her first 3 days she put on 7cm her 3rd she put on 4cm of them 7. She hasn't grown up today but her face has filled out, another 2 days I reckon before she splits.
6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly
Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much in the high temps as they'll be in a sealed tent for 18hrs in 30-32c I'll have the dehuimifier in the sealed tent and will be set at 45% And will keep it in that range for all of pre flower and then I'll put it back on to negative pressure environment 21c in the dark window and after all plants come out of pre flower Co2 will be left in the tent but will be useless without a sealed tent/grow room.
Thanks for reading, this will be the last update for this week other than pics.

Welcome to my Gorilla punch Diary. Be sure to drop a like or comment so I can visit your diary.
Growing really well, she's taking off like kosher. Going to increase EC by .2 or .3 that's 100-150 ppm increase. I'll get there by way of increasing base nutrients and La Sirena which is Terra Powers version of a beefed up B-52.
I've also turned the light from 65% - 87.5%. Holding that little bit of an extra kick for preflowering given with as much co2 time I can give them in their new homebox ambient 150+ 150x150x220 will allow me to go big and will widen in most areas what I can do with these girls. I'll be keeping a 50x50 space free in my tent for the 20l dehuimifier that will be running in the tent with my 800m3 6 inch EC/TEMP CONTROLLED PRIMA KILMA intake fan will be turned on, by request of the new automated dehuimdifying/temp controlled area which will allow me to grow in high co2 environment for at least 25 mins out of every 30, (making my own system). It'll all depend how quick my 3 co2 bags can bring up the ppm. And I'll only be doing this for preflower only then I'll go back to a negative pressure environment. I might need to take out the DWC buckets out though. I'll see can I keep the temp at 68f berween min 18c-20c max.
11_5_22 After a 2 day soft flush, I've upped the nutrient terra Power and all nutrient mixes up and plants are starting to show light defs. Nothing that's going to throw them into a stall or anything, and I don't want to overfeed neither. PPM I'm been careful with. 980 5.9 PH. 1020 ADVN 6.3ph 950 5.7ph jungle juice and terra power
13/5/22 Rapid growth the last 24hrs. You can see the sets of nodes start to stack on each other. Can't hold off much longer with transplanting them. Will do it Monday when they start their 3rd wk.
16/5/22 Had to break up the soil as she was fully root bound, so expecting some shock for the next few days. Will hold off on nutrients while she recovers and just feed enzymes. I'm sure I have a nutrient to help with shock.
Thanks for reading

Wk 3 D15 17/5 Doing well. Not going to touch her yet, gonna leave her for this wk and top once the 6th node appears and top above the 5th.
Topped today above the 5th, was going to wait but the 6th was up and wanted that energy to go to the others.
18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years.
But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. Have my grows finally dialed in. Only thing I don't have proper control of for terps is temp. I can get as low as 23.5-24c with my lights on and 20.5c with lights off.
23/5/22 Defolated her and she is responding well to that with light LST.

Week 4. VD 22 24/5 Doing well, loving life and responding well to been topped and light LST. Have lowered the EC by .3 (150 or so ppm). Am trying to be very careful with these ladies as we are very close to flowering.
Added Epsom Salt to give them some MG/S. Was 350 ppm baseline was 105 so 245 2 pinches to 300ml.
Took her height today. She's pushing just above 39cm making her the biggest. Even though she's guide rated for 55% indica she looks more like a sativa, growing high and thin fingers for leafs, as indica plants have smaller fatter leafs like you can see in my Ganja Runtz Auto.
30/5/22 Took her height, she is the biggest. But also the slimest.
Plant is doing well, she's thin but let's see what I can get from her. She's tall. Haven't checked her height in a few days but nearly 60cm I'd say. Vegged out at 54cm.
4/6/22 Took her height today. Has put on 18cm this week. Topping out at 72cm. Not much to her though. Hoping for long nice dense colas. There is lots of tight bud sites coming right up the colas.
6/6/22 Doing great. Putting on 1.5-2cm every day. All nodes have also took a decent stretch and are all nearly level. Also she's starting to get lots of frost.
Doing really well. Would like if the buds were closer and more dense. I'll be putting the SF1000 light to bed and finishing these off on the P1000. As there is a big difference between banana purple punch under the p1000 & the one under the SF1000. The 1 under the SF 1000 is 10cm taller. But the buds are a lot less dense.
13/6/22 Plant is doing good. Looking forward to my new TS1000 dropping and all plants will be under p1000 and my sf1000 in between will only help. I can already see denser buds under my P1000s.
Week 7. Doing well. 16/6/ Wish I had of put this 1 under my p1000s as they are giving of much better results as you can see in my banana purple punch massive difference in the bud density. Lot more fatter buds. Don't get me wrong. This was my 1st light. It's a good solid reliable light. But if you want a 1000+ ppfd this is not the light for you. You need to strip a lot of bottom growth to get a better quality of bud. I've learnt a lot from this light. This lady is my biggest. I haven't took a height of her in around 3 days. But I'd say she has put on around 5cm. I'll get a height tomorrow. The bud is kinda larfy but I think that's more of the plant. The buds are forming nicely going right up and down the stems
Week 8 D50 26/6 So, coming into the 4th week of flowering. Think it's safe to say pre flowering is over and this little lady will make it to the harvest window without too much trouble. I've a few new nutrients to try from terra power stuff for resin and taste so let's see what we can do with it.
2/7 good week. Have a heat wave come in temp is touching 35c at times. Am in a bad dash to set up my hillbilly AC.
Thanks for reading and dropping by.

Week 9 D57 Flower Day 31. Wish I had of done this girl under my p1000. The light is much better at getting a consistent bud quality throughout. I am happy with this grow but if you look at my other plants they are of much better quality bud.
7/7 Going well. Popping off some lovely colors i have to say. Pity the buds are so, well, poor. But of a decent grade. It stinks of fruits and has like a type of sharp punch of some fruit that's slowly dialing itself in And is very gasey. Diesel lovers deligh.
Have started this lady on triton, (overdrive). And poseidon (bud factor X, for resin, taste improve).
Week 10. D64. Plant is doing well. Sadly the curse of the spider farmers 100watt light was at this for most of flowering and its clear to see. The tops are done and as you go down the nodes it gets airy and less dense and more white hairs. It is a good light but poor light pen for plants that are over 50cm you should do some serious lollipopping. The p1000 was added to late. But on my shorter ganja farmer runtz the buds have done better as its shorter so only sows into what I said. I'm going to run this 1 more week and then I'm going to pull back on soft flush with calmag and then throw them into a full flush.
She's throwing off the most fade I've seen, she is giving off a lovely scent. Very fruity and sharp diesel/gasey smell. Very sticky and a nice plant. Won't give much in the way of weight. Maybe 30-40g. I'll be definitely running this lady again under 1 of my stronger lights.
Have started to lower her EC down to 1 or 500ppm.
Thanks for reading

I had fun growing this 1. She is a strain that doesn't cause a lot of trouble, feed her and let her go. Very little upkeep needed, she's got it all herself. Well, that was my experience. She was fast and easy to grow, grew tall and gave some nice bud, bit more airy than I'd like, but it's bud all the same, no larf. Just airy bud.
