Well shit seems to be going well. My flowers should be bigger I reckon, well I wish they were. Am wondering if the massive change in day and night temperatures is being detrimental to the growth, or is it I switch the air ventilation off whilst I sleep? I doubt the temperature differences will be an issue for long as spring is here and summer around the corner. Will probably be complaining about too much heat soon. Kind of hope the new fat 6" extractor fan will deal with that issue.
Have seen a couple of bugs onto of the soil, but they seem to be heading towards the carnivorous plants :), and they look quite healthy so I imagine that they have a goof feast during the night cycle. Maybe I should set up infra-red camera so I can watch the action?
Have reduced the humidity down to 45/50% with the new extractor fan, and hoping this has a beneficial effect on my flowers.
I reckon I got a pretty good root zone as the soil seems dense with roots and has become hard to push a finger in, wet too. Will have a check when I harvest which I think will be end of this week for the Big Yield. The top colas look almost ready (?), although lower down ones not so, so will do a bit at a time. Gorilla Cookies look a few weeks off in my opinion...
Have diluted some of my water nutes down to 1.6 as I thought the trees looked a bit nute burnt. Have given just pH water too. I reckon over did the watering, need to wait a bit between irrigation sessions me thinks....
@tomatoGrower, they shouldn't be getting killed by the lights what are you using is it a led light and in the natural environment they live in warm boggy conditions they require to be moist at all times since the aquariums people use to grow them with t5 bulbs I would imagine it to be hotter than your grow room I would say if you water your cannabis plants say every other day you would probably have to water the carnivorous plants everyday the best way I find to do it is put trays with water underneath and they will take what they need oh and keep the fan on during the night unless it's your lights go off with it
@tomatoGrower, It will be fine they are naturally grown under a t5 the problem is they love to be fairly wet as usually they are boggy plants it will eventually start feeding it will produce a nice colour inside of the cup and pests are then intrigued it's hard to tell with that carnivorous plant as it is a closed cup plant best way to tell if it's feeding usually another will sprout once it has eaten so if you get new growth it's already feeding I have loads of varieties of them I love them very educational also usually give me a great amount of seeds each year.
@Ilovemyplants, cheers, wondered what they were called. Still waiting for them to start chomping on something....😳💤. Think my lights might be too overbearing for them 😟
Hey there growmie,
Thanks so much for sharing this diary with us! We hope that you had a good experience with growing our Gorilla Cookies Auto.
It was a joy to look through your photos, enjoy the harvest
