Gorilla Zkittles, FEM, NFT

El_Jardinero The week was started under a dome and the seedling was put on NFT system on the seventh day of the week. Waiting for roots to grow and spread.

El_Jardinero After last week the plant looked a bit droopy. I noticed signs of some deficiency on leaves. No hassle, during this week the roots grew out of the rockwool and she has an access to fertilizers now.

El_Jardinero This week I ran the tank with old juices and no additions, except a little calmag. Fast growth especially after topping the plant. All good.

El_Jardinero During the week: - defoil and removal of low branches. - trellis net installed. - CO² baggie opened.

El_Jardinero At first, maybe signs of calcium deficiency. pH ok so I lifted temps up a bit. On day 4 defoliation. I let it recover and next week flip to 12/12.

El_Jardinero Flipped to 12/12 on day 3. Takes a lot of water and growing up very healthy.

El_Jardinero The pH has been jumping up and down. I guess it has something to do with the excessive root growth. All is well, some signs of flowering are visible.

El_Jardinero Growing fast and big, so the CO2 bag works for sure. Some leaves show signs of defiencies, but I believe that's because the very fast growth. Gotta be careful with the EC and should not dial the solution any hotter. Also takes big amounts of water in just a day, so gotta keep on dialing it daily. Reso changed on day 6, not that there was more than a gallon left. Needs pruning quite soon. Edit on day 7: Shaved her legs and pruned some from upstairs too. Supercropped a few spots more or less accidentally.

El_Jardinero Change of reservoir. Of course the water intake reduced this week because there is less plant left after defoliation, of which she is slowly recovering. Everything ok, has started to smell too.

El_Jardinero All good.

El_Jardinero Change of reso and fresh nutes. It has started to smell strongly. Very sticky buds that leave a nice scent of lemongrass(?) on your fingers. I understand the 'gorilla glue' reference of it's parent. Everything fine, but RH has been rising, now 50% but was at 58% after the night.

El_Jardinero EC has been fluctuating between 1.5 and 2 because she drinks water quite a bit. This week the RH has been highish, 52%, which is actually very nice but gotta keep an eye on that.

El_Jardinero Change of res and new nutrients added. There was a nanner in one bud which I removed. No biggie, last week(s) ahead.

El_Jardinero Good week. On day one it was clear that the mark of 'usable yield' was achieved. So even if problems would appear, it's good enough already to be cut down. Now just ripening up. Still drinking water.

El_Jardinero Harvest getting closer. Leaves are fading a bit.

El_Jardinero Day 1: Time to reduce feeding. There is a two week old tank running, so I guess there should be enough juice for the whole third week. The feed schelude suggests that a little bit of 'GROW' should be added, so that was thrown in. More autumn colors on the leaves and looking very nice. Pistils have been orange/brown for weeks already. Day 6: Cut down on flowering day 69.

El_Jardinero Dried in the tent for eight days until trimming and jarring.
