Royal Gorilla- mini organic grow

I had a low humidity problem in the first week, but by adding a wet towel RH% went back to almost ideal levels 50-60%.Not fed any fertilizers yet

very stocky short plant. I hope this to be one of the purple phenos as I got with their Wedding Gelato.. From the next week I am starting feeding with fish mix

Top it in midweek ,and add Co2 at the end of the week.. The plant looks stocky and healthy

I started Lst it a bit a few days after topping on week 3..Will top it again the next week to get 8 main colas. It is growing strong

After topping the plant again in week 5 I am trying to get around 16 colas with proper spacing and thick stems before switching to 12/12, like a small SoG,.I plan not to fill the tent with bud sites this time

Last day of vegetating. Plant looks better from the previous weeks. Has a bit tip burned leaves from the small distance between the plant and the light but i couldn't do anything more as I chose to buy an airpot of 35 liters volume for the plant that barely fits in the tent😅 and leaves for the plant very little space from the lights to grow and have it there now around 10 days.

Plant is now two weeks into flowering and is looking pretty good, did some defoliation and cut some weak branches to get only the good..... Going much better from my previous ,Weding gelato , grow by correcting the most of my previous mistakes : 1) having no high humidity problems at the first weeks of flowering ( on the last grow I had the room totally sealed and no air circulation on for the Co2 to work because by having not a C02 meter to measure it exactly I tried to get the most I could from the Co2 bottles..C02 levels when I first bought the co2 meter was over 5000 ppm that might hurt the plant maybe more than help it.. the fan also was pointing directly at the buds to save them from the high humidity >90% , had them pistils turn brown too early in flowering ) 2) I Have my lights a bit closer (around 10-15 cm closer than my previous plant at this time) from the plants at the beginning of flowering ,instead of lowering them vey late at mid flowering that I did in my previous grow and also at the end of that I lowered them too much, more than needed for the best results … 3) also I want to lower gradually the nitrogen feeding in the next two weeks instead of giving more to plants to mid flowering that I did in the last grow and got tip burned even with organic products...😓 ( gave in my previous grow too much N > 5 ml of bio Bizz fish mix in week 5 and in this grow now I am planning to stop giving bio grow after week 4 and feed only bloom except if I see any low N symptoms )

Plant doing very well and trichomes starting to appear. Sugar leaves are getting sprinkled with trichomes . I have trimmed all the lower budsites that didnt get direct light to make the plant focus only on the top buds. I cut the bio grow this week to make plant focus on flower production which it did, but I am not sure I should cut it out entirely as I saw plant leaves went from dark green to a more healthy for this stage light green finally to lime green that I am not sure is good, and having many bottom fan leaves turning yellow this early.. This strain is supposed to be a 10 weeker strain so I will maybe add again 0.5 -1 ml /L bio grow in the mix every other watering for the next couple weeks.

I gave the plants some bio grow this week,trying to save leaves yellowing from nitrogen defeciency. I think I have this problem because I stopped bio grow too early at the second week and at the same week I did by accident 2 waterings with ph lower than 6, at around 5-5.5. In an attempt to save the lower fan leaves I water 2 times this week with grow nutes and the last time with a water ph of 8 to bring the ph balance to soil. I dont think I will save much though,i already trimed the half of yellowing leaves as they were ready to fall. The plant is going very good overall and all the sugar leaves are getting covered with tricomes, its getting sticky

I think leav yellowing ain't gonna get any better or worse and I can't do more than I already did. I added an PK booster this week and will continue till flush in week 9, buds are getting swollen right now. Everything seems ok except some high humidity issues the last weeks , in the place I leave humidity last days was around 80-90 % all day, and I am currently running the dehumidifier all day and some hours of the day, when it can't lower the humidity enough, I also use the dehumidifier mode of the air-condition. The temperature shall fall during the next weeks and I hope that cold nights and low humidity will make the plant reach close to its maximum thc potential.

Buds are swelling, leaves got that late flowering appearance and trichomes have covered the buds and sugar leaves. The temperature has fallen about 2-3 degrees C in that week. I think this helps to simulate the start of the fall and make the plant focus to flower and thc production. In addition, I stopped using bio grow and up the PK booster a bit.

Plant is supposed to be a 10 weeker and just got in week 7 but buds are completely covered with trichomes and resin seeming totally smokable even now to me... Getting that quality flowers in such a small space was something I could only dream on..

Colas seem like starting to bend a little from the weight. Last night( after day 53 flowering ) I manage to lower night temperatures at 15.5 C minimum and I am trying to keep humidity levels the lowest possible from now on and for the last 14 days the plant have before harvest. I will do a final watering with nutes on day 56 and then it's time to flush for 10 -14 days. I hope I can keep low night temperatures at 15-16 degrees C ( 8-9 C difference from when lights on) ,and very low humidity( trying to stick in 40% and go even lower if possible) to bring out more resin , terpenes and if its possible more colors along with flushing..I don't care if the final yield will be a bit less , if it will be of a higher quality flower. Today I also stop Co2 enrichment after reducing it the previous week The three major mistakes I did in this grow was : - First of all stopping bio-grow completely in week 3 of flowering and add it back after noticing leave yellowing, - The second one was doing 2 watering with ph. around 5.5 by accident of giving too much ph down which cause nutrient lockout and together with the first mistake the plant got leave yellowing at the early flowering phase - The third one was filling the last top 10 liters of the pot with cheap soil from the market because i realized that the All-mix soil I use wasn't enough to fill the pot οn the day I did the transplant so i didn't have any time to order good soil. ***Edit day 56: Most trichomes are milky and very few clear and amber , I started flushing with only ph'd water and bud candy yesterday and from tomorrow I will stop bud candy and use only ph'd water with Flawless finish. Probably I will harvest a week earlier than expected .. In the end of week 9 ! 😎

DAY 57 : I have started to flush only with ph'd water and the last 2 waterings will be with flawless finsh just beacause I have it . I think some colors have started to come out also on the buds.. But I couldn't achieve night temperature lower than 17 minimum and also I am struggling to keep humidity at 40% the last days because of the warm weather for this season and very high humidity. I am running the A/C at the dehumidifier mode together with the dehumidifier to achieve safe humidity levels for this stage. **Edit day 57: lights on 23-24 C max- lights off 15.5 C minimum. Minimum humidity 36% and maximum 42%! I live in the same room with my plant and I have to say That's pretty cool temperature and very low humidity to sleep well with. but its only a week...😅 **Edit day 58: lights on 23-24 C max- lights off 16.5 minimum. Minimum humidity 36% maximum 44%. A warmer night than the previous one but next days will be colder. I'm aiming for 15 C night temperature the more, for some nights If possible even lower 10-13C .. Purple hues at the buds are for sure happening even if its still barely visible . . . Some small bud's top has become purple ,I checked it with the microscope for mold but its purple trichomes. Also today I started using the flushing agent for the first time after I watered one time with plain ph'd water. **Edit day 59: lights on 19-21 C- lights off 15 C minimum. Minimum humidity 36% maximum 44%. **Edit day 60: lights on 22.5 C- lights off 13.2 C minimum. Minimum humidity 36% maximum 54%.That was quite a chill night but a prefect day for achieving bud coloration. Lights on - Lights off temperature difference was more than 9 degrees Celsius. **Edit day 61: lights on 23.5 C- lights off 13.7 C minimum. Minimum humidity 36 % maximum 48%. Almost 10 degrees Celsius day-night temperature difference. I also reduced the lights on period an hour giving 11 hours of light and 13 hours of dark and also flushing with water with Ph a little more acidic than normally use, another two things that may help with coloration the last week of flowering. **Edit day 62: Most trichomes are milky and bending a bit ,very few trichomes amber and clear. Lights on 23-24 C- lights off 14 C minimum. Minimum humidity 37% maximum 44%. **Edit day 63: .Lights on 23-24 C- lights off 15 C minimum. Minimum humidity 37% maximum 44%. I am checking the trichomes color every day and there are only a few days left before harvest ,I'm just waiting for the right day to chop her ...The next update is going to be harvest day. I got a sample bud from the middle to check trichome maturity and taste after dry it in the oven a bit. To my surprise it has purple colors to the very inside 👺😍 !!! It seems like magic happens on flowering day 63 with me and RQS 👽😎😉.

I was wishing to get the purple pheno in the start but after the first weeks of flowering I was giving up hopes, but in the end and with cold nights the buds got half purple which will make the smoke have 2 different colors. Never seen this again and I m pretty satisfied by doing that experiment with cold nights . I decided to harvest this morning on day 67. Colas are heavier than expected and almost break when I took of the scrog net. This time I want to achieve a more slow dry so I I hang upside down the whole plant to dry ,even if some colas were touching each other I tied them to he hangers in a way so they don't touch each other but without break the branches from the tree. Also I started drying with 18-20 C and 55% humidity instead of a bit higher temperature and lower humidity that I started the previous grow's drying process. I don't use any circulating fan at the start this time and only the exhaust and intake fan that I plan to switch off and leave only the exhaust in last drying days. I will try to increase humidity to almost 60% and lower temperature to maximum 18 C after the first 3 days of drying. This way I may achieve a 10-14 days drying hopefully without any mold issues. I will upload dry weight and smoke review in some weeks, with photos of cured buds and maybe a video if they look too good😄!!
