recently, when I bought my Advanced Nutrients coco nutrients from Growbarato, a little surprise came with the package: 5 seeds of their Original GB XXL auto. nice 👍
My tents are currently in the early stages of 42FB Gorilla Punch sessions, and I have beefed up my equipment with two quantum board LEDs, 97W and 142W.
So I'm left with my "old lamps", which I don't really want to throw away... I also still have my first tent, a 40*40*140, cute...
and above all I have a 70*70*100 hole in my cellar, which with a little DIY I could turn into a secret underground garden...
it's done 👌 ; I now have 3 small Original GB that are coming out of the ground, in 7L coco/soil pots, that I'm going to LST or top to keep their size under 50cm.
It will be Rhizobacter for the grow and Terra Bloom afterwards;
objective: 50 to 75g together, we'll see ✋
the white/pink LED mix seems to suit the girls;
the amendment with a little coco and rhizo in the soil also seems to facilitate the development of the roots and thus the nourishing leaves.
to be continued ✋
things are going well in my little cellar 👌
they are growing with the same vigour, developing the same number of nodes almost simultaneously.
I will topping next week.
they are still receiving the power roots, nothing more for the moment.
the girls have suffered this week... 😏 ; they have been topped and defoliated by one node per cola, as per the mainlining
3 branches broken in the process, not the best strain I've had (I just did it on 3 Gorilla from FB, not a broken branch)
I'm going to Africa for 2 weeks, I've made a watering system by capilarity; first time I test it, I hope I won't lose them... I'll give them a big glass of water before leaving anyway 😉
the watering by capillary action did its job more or less: yellowed leaves on two of them, but nothing serious; a little slower growth of course
after 2 weeks left alone, i cleaned them, and the biggest one had a double supercropping; they move in a tent with 1 white LED lamp of 100w.
with a little delay, i start the flowering fertilization.
the flowering should explode this week, to be followed ✋
Grils are fine, even the supercropped one 😊
I transplanted them in 11 litres pots;
they drink more and more water, they clearly didn't have enough room in their pot.
I filled in with a coco/soil mix, the roots will be able to spread quickly.
the colas are stabilising; I moved the light closer at the beginning of the week, this seems to induce them to concentrate on the buds
no manipulation this week, except a little lollipopping, really nothing too drastic
they have settled in well in their new pots, watering has gone from 1x every 2 days to 1x every 3 days
In the first days of the week, I gave some Super Boom in addition to the Terra to encourage flowering;
I also did some heavy defoliation, trying to get the girls to concentrate on the buds.
They seem to be recovering well, it's starting to get fatter 👌
they took a long time to start, but now the flowering is exploding 👌
the buds are getting bigger every day, and the smell is getting stronger.
these Original GBs are taking on the shape of bananas, compact and homogeneous around their colas.
2 more weeks I think before the flush.
mid week the trichos are already quite milky; so I took a little advance for the flush
I'm going to give them another 7 to 10 days in clear water before the cut, to get more amber trichos
These 3 plants are a bit different in pheno:
two are similar but with a week interval in their development, the other one has taken a unique shape and a different colour.
for the smell on the other hand, they are all three very close 😊
10 days since the flush ⏳
the leaves have turned yellow, some of them are getting crunchy, the pistils have turned brown and the buds are not swelling for a while ; time to cut !
this will be done by tomorrow; wet and dry result in 7-10 days 👌
I have never treated my girls as poorly as I did during this session...
and yet the result amazes me!
in 12 weeks, despite all the mistakes i made, they gave me 121g dry;
nice!
