Gorilla Cookies Round Two

This is the second grow using gorilla cookies and my second grow period. Changing a lot up this time. Lets see how it goes!

It's a few days into week 3 now. I have done my LST. A single tie down, just beneath the 4th node. I adjusted it once a day for a couple of days, but it's done now. I've folded the fan leaves beneath the newer vegetation, so it gets plenty of light. The pot in the image is 14 inches, to give you an idea of how big the plant is now. This is my 2nd grow. Two mistakes I'm fixing this time... 1 - I did so much LST last time, it must have been high stress... or too high at least. Last time I was also trying to wrap the main stem around the outer edge of the pot. I was probably abusing those things a few times a day some days. 2 - I cut fan leaves. There will be NO defoliation this time around unless there are some more serious issues and it has to be done. I have tucked the fan leaves so the lighting is great on the new leaves. I also sprayed it with some neem oil. Better safe than sorry. She's not getting any more Voodoo Juice till flower now. Will be doing the Bud Candy all the way through for the carbs. Same with the b52 for what it provides. It's getting roughly 1/3 of a gallon of feed water every 3 days. I try to get the PH as close to 6.2 and the water temperature as close to 68F as possible. I have read those are the sweet spots. It looks like I may have mistakenly clicked on LST for week 2. There was none during week two. >> I waited till the 4th node was out. That started day 1 of week 3, and the LST is complete now for this plant. That's all. So far I think it looks amazing. L:ast time I think I had some nitrogen toxicity but I didn't know about it. This time around, everything is better. Hopefully, the changes are reflected in the harvest.

It's grown quite a bit in the last week. I see it every day and it didn't register how much bigger it had gotten until I looked at the images. Can't wait till it kicks into preflower/flower.

So, it looks like I'm a week off. This should have started from week 1 in veg, not 2. At the time I wasn't clear if I should consider germination to be week one or not... I did consider it to be week one. Whatever week it says I'm on,,, just subtract a week. This is actually week 4, not 5.

I'm going to try and add some images later on. The plant Im following here isnt the only one Im growing and they have all hulked out so much you cant tell where one ends and another begins. I'm freaking thrilled with how much better this grow is doing than my first. Advanced Nutrients are way better than the stuff I used last time IMO. The LST I did this time is way less and different than last time. These plants are really amazing. Just cut b52 and added bud ignitor since most are in flower. Three of the plants were started in cups because they didnt sprout in the pot. I started them all in cups last time.... I will not be doing that anymore. The ones started in cups are all very stunted compared to the ones started in the pots directly. I dont expect much out of those but if I get a half out of the three started in a cup Ill be happy. The way its going with the best plants I can see them producing a couple ounces each. Fingers crossed!
