Wow, does this strain grow fast! The roots exploded underneath, and I'm already seeing 3 solid nodes with the 4th on its way! I read from fast buds that this strain goes upwards of 12 weeks. I'm hoping it does because that means this will be better for topping and training -- I think. There shorter life-span plants seem to hate topping as much as I hate not topping. I'm really happy with the growth on this strain, and I'm looking forward to another 2 weeks of veg -- fingers crossed! 🙏
DAY 20 UPDATE: The roots have exploded and are coming out everywhere. It looks to be growing some massive leaves, I'm not even sure if the plant is big enough to support them yet! The lower set of leaves had some spots appear, but they don't look like mold or anything serious. I think this is related to some temperature and humidity fluctuations we had here in Chicago. Now that winter is here, my tent dropped to about 68-70 degrees F, down from 75-78. The plant is growing well, however, and the spots appear to only be on the 1 set of leaves. I don't think I'm going to top this strain -- I want to see what kind of yield I can get by letting it grow naturally.
@CommanderCannabis, thanks Cmdr.! 🙌 I'm hoping I didn't go too far with the lower lollipopping...but she seems to be putting on some bud weight despite the fact! And she bounced back from what I thought was an over-defoliation. 🤷 Thanks for your input on my grows! I really appreciate it!! I checked out your blog yesterday, too. Cool shit, dude! Nice job on the cabinet! 👌
Looking great this far. I love DWC as I am a RDWC cultivator myself.
I am currently growing 2 Royal 👑 Gorilla’s 🦍, and 1 Gorilla 🦍 Bomb 💣, and 2 Velvet Bud in my garden at the moment that are 35 days into Veg. I just hacked them up starting to do a modified manifold which will extend my Veg by a week or two. I post bi weekly videos to my YouTube Channel. Check it out if you get a chance:

@CRiSPrGrow, now you got me thinking....
I definitely pushed this plant high on the PPM side to kind of see what autos can handle, or at least this strain. I've seen some growers pushing their autos up to around 1000ppm, though they were adding some CO2 from what I understand.
Here's my question: did I give her too much Nitrogen or did I give her too much nutrients altogether? I followed the Advanced Nutrients ratios exactly, but my previous max was around 650ppm -- this time I pushed her to around 900ppm during flower. Do you think I could have reduced the amount of Nitrogen and still had her at 850ppm or something? Just trying to learn something from this....I wouldn't be opposed to modifying ratios during bloom if the plant could handle a higher PPM generally.
Thoughts? Figured I'll copy some other smarter-growers-than-me: @DudeGrowsWeed@Stick @@Athos@BeefWellingtons
@CRiSPrGrow, I’m thinking so too! This strain exploded out of the RapidRooter and the roots are insane. I need to get a pic of those up! Looking forward to seeing this one grow myself!
