Amazing head/body high, had a very tiny joint and I'm pretty buzzed, bordering baked but not stoned. Great for medical usage, anytime of the day. Just be sure to harvest with minimal amber trichomes and mostly cloudy if you suffer from Arthritis, Osteogensis Imperfecta, Osteoarthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease, nerve pain, Fibro etc.
Will definitely grow again, had some leaf miners but pulled the leaves off and she bounced back. Handles overwatering/underwatering really well, just didn't see a bigger harvest cuz I wasn't paying attention to nutrient dosing and proper watering but oh well, happy with it! :)

Excellent light, for a small 4x4/2m2 tent. Great for two plants, but if you have one large one it'll cover that. Definitely need a bigger light going forward...
Took about the expected time to grow, the pistils didn't ripen much when I harvested her which might just have been her pheno. Some did but most were white, not too bothered. Good strain, good experience. Happy with the 1st grow, smoke and harvest. Fuckin tasty, tastes like flowers, fruits and lemon/soft lime and grapefruit of course. It has a super sweet aftertaste and a very nice mellow peak on the high, kind of impressed even with the dry/cure it has now that it works so well. :D
Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...
White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)
Looked at the leaves and did some research, either this is just a normal process where the plant tries to grow extra roots or it's mildew. Either way I think I'll dial down from 2 cups of water in the morning to just 1 once the soil has dried out today/tomorrow. Over/underwatering has possibly led to stem sagging + slow growth so next time I'm investing in Autopots or watering less often + small amounts...
Wow the girls are biiig! Good work! I love the pistil hairs! They are gonna be nice, fat and tasty! I'd love to see how the gorilla girl plays out, because i am thinking about growing some “sweet seeds"-beans next. 🇪🇦
@delta_420, Haha can relate to the little tracking laziness and the leap of faith for the beginning. But for me it turned out as such a fun and rewarding hobby (and nerve wrecking from time to time), i really love to grow, both as a grower and to grow some tasty buds. 😊
And i love to learn from the other growers here, so thank you very much for sharing! Good luck for a strong finish on this grow! Nothing beats the first smoke of your own homegrown buds!
@Herbie101, thanks! First time I've done a "proper" grow so to speak for med + personal use. Took a very expensive leap of faith but it's paying off. I've been a little bit lazy tracking metrics and temps etc since the battery died in my hygrometer but got it fixed. The GG XL is packing on the pistils and size too, outgrowing the Grapefruit. They both took to my n00b growing mistakes super well, lack of soil and nutes, over/underwatering but bounced back really well. I've started giving them both two extra sets of Acti-Vera and Bio-Bloom for flower and to get rid of the leaf miners but as she gets frosty leaves and the resin packs on pests etc don't survive long :) Out of curiousity, rubbing the leaves has this super sweet fruity smell, gg xl has this amazing earthy, gluey typical gorilla glue smell which is yum. Can't wait for harvest, the leaves on the GG XL are bigger than my hand, it's awesome seeing the indica-leaning pheno! :)
