Welcome to the jungle at week 6! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at this Gorilla grow! πͺ I also have a strawberry pie in the oven so check out that diary if you feel inclined to do so. π
This week the stretching started to slow and she is focusing more on flower production. The light was at 20in/50cm with 60% intensity, should be around 550 PPFD or 45 DLI at the canopy. I performed some very light defoliation, couple of leaves here and there, and will continue so to ensure air flow and light exposure to the bud sites.
Stress symptoms will be more evident now and appear in the form of slow growth, yellow and discolored foliage, and burnt leaf tips. With said, I have noticed some minor burnt edges and leaf tips and since I've been using 1/2 dose of nutrients so I'm not sure if it is nutrient burn or some deficiency, it difficult to tell at his point.
In week 7 I will be increasing my "bloom" nutrients with higher levels of potassium and phosphorus to stimulate bud growth and hopefully slow stress symptoms.
Day 36: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 37: Watered with 2L of water and added a 1ml/L dose of bio-grow, 1.5ml/L bio-bloom, and 1ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5) and performed some light defoliation
Day 38: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 39: Watered with 2L water and added a 1ml/L dose of bio-heaven (PH 6.5)
Day 40: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 41: Watered with 2L of water and added a 1ml/L dose of bio-grow, 1.5ml/L bio-bloom, and 1ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5) and performed some light defoliation
Day 42: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Please feel free to comment or provide any feedback, it is always appreciated. Happy Growing Everyone!
@Sour_D, Thanks my friend! π This is fastest growth I've seen in a strain, of course I have limited experience. π Thinking to start some LST on her soon. π
@UnorthadoxDude, Thanks my friend! Yeah, I'm having fun with LST on these grows. π You're right, I could have went with bigger pots since I have the space. I just ended up going with what I already had on hand, but now I'm gaining more confidence so maybe next run I'll with 20L pots. π
@MrJones, Thank you my friend! π I appreciate the support with my grow, nothing like being part of this community. Right now I'm trying to keep the gorilla happy before the harvest. π
You are doing great mate! Only feedback I could give you is put more plants in the tents for a bigger yield hahah but that's all preference of course ππ€
@UnorthadoxDude, Well great to hear, always nice to have a fellow grower share the same experience. I'm excited about this one and can't wait to see how yours goes!
