11/28 Mixed a gallon at half strength and did lots of runoff, still have ppm at 4000! I got new bottles of Connoisseur and no instant giant jellyfish blobs, clots whatever they were forming in my solution.
The old one must have become contaminated by the B-52. So I had to throw away B-52, and Carboload, and the old 1 liter bottles of Conno. So far no problems but I am never going to use more than half strength. I hope I don't get just as many problems that way.
I will be starting a new plant with BioBizz and compare the 2. VERY upset about the junk that went bad and NO info about it. Not surprised.
I didn't think about how a SINGLE bad product could contaminate & destroy every other product in their line. I don’t know when the next product will go bad and if it will cross contaminate another product so I’m not going to take that risk again.
The slime that it made instantly in my nutrient solution that I didn’t notice before must have clogged the roots and that’s why I’ve been having some other problems. It was kind of fun mixing up all the stuff from Advanced Nutrients, but now that I know they can and do go bad or get bacteria growing in them and will contaminate & destroy plants and the other nutes, its time to retire that line and go with something else.... After getting Bud Factor X I noticed it the most.
11/28 wow she looks incredible! I over did the nutrients during the vegetative state I can see that now, but I did a flush just with the nutrients in lower concentration at half strength and wow she looks perfect.
12/1 Thursday. I gave her plain water today did not pH. The water usually adjust itself with the solution and the soil. It came out at 6.2. My EC was at 2700 which was down from 4000.
12/2 she responded very well and she’s looking good.
I’ve decided to use just one light instead of two maybe later on in flowering but for now I feel that one light really does provide enough energy and adding another one causes more problems than it creates healthy flowers at least for my set up anyway.
12/5 I did a feeding today she was dry. Normally I wait until Monday but I did the half strength feeding with advanced, nutrients connoisseur, and since I just bought the new bottles, everything is fine there’s no more gel or coagulation. The flowers on her are growing better than any other auto flower I’ve ever grown I’m really impressed it’s just phenomenal.
I did some LST and I will keep her tied up for about four days and then I’ll remove the ties. This is the first time I’ve tried to do this.
Hey @calgonjim, great diary!
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 nice weekend
Never, you should never use feeding charts. NPK Calculator and strict plan for whole grow period. This is how autoflowers should be grown. Too bad that you met bad nutrients, I had issue with outdated Piranha ~_~ GL & HF
Thanks so much for growing our genetics, will be excited to see them all flourish ☘️ Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help 😎 Happy Growing !!!👨🌾🌲
Very nice. I grew this. Cured half and I can tell you. Mine was so so much better after 3 weeks. You got a lovely pheno. Mine was a real white lady. But, very nice
