Dear diary,
As grow #1 wraps up its time for round 2!
We first tried running 3 seeds of Lockdown Kush and 3 of AK-420 from Sensi Seeds, but sadly they never sprouted.
Due to having a really poor germination % with Sensi, we pivoted to getting seeds from 420 Fast Buds and will be running 2 different strains in different diaries, with this being the diary for Gorilla Cookies FF!
The seeds will soak for 6-8h in 5.8ph water and then they will be moved directly into the medium to keep things simple.
The light will be set to 100ppfd and 24/0 until the first bby leaves come out and they are in 25-26C temps.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰Day 1:
Placed 3x seeds of Gorilla Cookies from FastBuds in 5.8ph bottled water.
Room is set to 25-26C and Coco has been mixed with perlite and slightly watered to make moist and left in the room to warm up.
After 5 hours they had all sunk and I moved over the seeds to the coco medium.
⏰Day 2:
Gave each pot 5-6 misting sprays and refilled the humidifier.
Temps have stayed stable at 24-25 in the tent and 25-26 inside the box.
⏰Day 3:
Ph of the water I am using has drifted up from 5.8 to 6.1, that’s fine as I wanna be at the higher end 6-6,5 to improve calcium uptake.
G.C #3 has sprouted and #2 has broken ground but still has the seed casing on.
As #3 has opened her leaves, she will get her first nutes at low concentrations tomorrow as I will wait 24h after photosynthesis begins to feed.
⏰Day 4:
All seeds have now germinated with #2 getting the casing off and #1 breaking ground!
#2 and #1 will still just get water today and then nutes from tomorrow!
@DBQush, I guessed so, I'm using the same.
It's a good base for planning your own schedule.
Doing a bit of experiment and was wondering maybe adding my other ir/fr to the veg tent to see if I can get some stretching action going on..
Will be monitoring your diary closely, keep up the good work!
@Yebis42, I am basing it on the DLI per week that DeBacco University recommends in his video about DLI in relation to yields.
But it seems to match up with the same numbers that for example “Photone” recommends, as I also use their iOS app for the readings.
But ofc I just use these as a guideline and try and look at how the girls respond to each gradual increase as those numbers are if everything else is perfect.
I actually just backed down the lights again to 290ppfd as I was seeing some other issues and by lowering the light it should give them a easier time recovering.
Hey man, congrats for the harvest! I'm growing this strain too, week 4 flowering done. In my opinion is slower than I though, and I saw also your flowering stage was 9+ weeks (breeder says: 7 weeks flowering)
@DeepWaterGrower, thanks man! Yeah when they say 7 weeks, I don’t think they take the first “transition” week into account, and then call it done as soon as the harvest window opens.
But at least for me it make sense to push them for another week or two too get as much good shit as possible!
Either way I’m super happy the end result as this badboy really kicks your ass when smoking haha
@gaby_kicks, haha a 7/10 on my 2nd grow I will consider a compliment, so thanks man!
I do personally think the Wedding cheesecakes in the same grow turned out a bit bitter, but even with the Gorilla Cookies, super frosty and consistently dense buds in both the top and bottom off the canopy, leaves me quite happy.
Also helps that she netted just shy of 160g dry and smokes like a beauty!
Maybe one day you will start a diary here and show “how it’s done”, but until then, keep on keeping on haha
+1 strain
