Welcome to the jungle at week 9! 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
The light was at 20in/50cm with 70% intensity, and is measuring around 50DLI at the top of the canopy. I performed some very light defoliation to just remove the yellow or dying leaves.
There has been some increased yellow on lower leafs and is traveling up the plant so she is hungry, I've been light on nutrients but this week I provide full dose that includes higher levels of potassium and phosphorus to stimulate bud growth and hopefully slow stress symptoms.
Stress symptoms will be more evident now and appear in the form of slow growth, yellow and discolored foliage, and burnt leaf tips. During this stage she will continue to develop roots but much more energy is put into flower/bud formation. Elongation continues but a a very slow rate. At this point the fragrance is starting to become more prevalent.
Day 57: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 58: Watered with 2L of water and added a 1ml/L dose of bio-grow, 4ml/L bio-bloom, and 4ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5)
Day 59: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 60: Watered with 2L of water and 1ml/L of bio-heaven
Day 61: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles
Day 62: Watered with 2L of water and added a 1.5ml/L dose of bio-grow, 4ml/L bio-bloom, and 4ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5)
Happy Growing to 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!
