Germination
4 months ago
To begin with I put the seed in to wet paper towel for 2 days When the seed germinated, I then planted into a pest pellet. Once the seed was safely in its peat pellit, I then placed the pellet into a humidity dome and into a dark place with the holes sealed After 24 hours, once the seedling was above the soil, I then opened the air holes and placed under a 15w LED light Once the seedling was free of its shell, I then potted the peat pellit into biogrow light mix in a small 4 inch deep plant pot. I removed the lid of the humidity dome. I have now watered for the first time, making sure to stay around the outside of the pot No need to water until there's run off, just water until there's a little weight to the pot That's it for this stage... See you in week 2 where we wait for the true leafs to come through.... Happy growing

Hello!? We begin first week of the vegetation stage. I've taken the plant out from under the 15w LED light and placed under my 3000w LED light. Because the soil is already soaked to activate it, there was no need to water. I have also added 2 friend chilli plants to detour any pesky visitors that might want to eat the cannabis plant. I have now watered the plant now that I can see the true leafs I've also misted with formulex

Heyyyy luvlys!!! Well, it's week 4 (3rd week of veg) I've transplanted into her final pot and sprayed the leafs with cal-mag to help her through any transplant shock that may be unavoidable You can see the first 2 levels of branches are growing between the leafs, sometime this week I'll top her

Hey hey here we are, another week another grow diary So I topped and then tied the branches down. I'll do the top colas and tie them down too when they're long enough These last 4 weeks I'll be concentrating on getting all the new colas to grow as big as possible before I switch the light cycle I'm made up that up until now there's not been a single nutrient issue, over /under watering issues or light burn issues.. I've managed to stop the stretching also... Very happy

Hey!!! Gosh time flies doesn't it? So not done much to these branches except snap them and let them heal because gorilla grows Buds too heavy for the branches and they snap anyway.. Now they'll be thick enough to handle the extra weight I have been tieing the branches down and arranging them into their own pockets of space. I've also trimmed away some leafs that were causing other branches to be in shade. Sometiens I juet chop one of the fingers off instead of taking away the entire leaf Also, I have shaved each branch taking away leafs where bud won't grow I've tried to get the canopy level so energy is distributed easily

Wow time is flying by now OK so what I've done here is tie everything down to create an even canopy so that the energy maybe spread equally I'm hoping when she makes her big stretch everything has a good amount of nodes on the lower branches

Hey hey We are so nearly done, I'm going to break out my microscope and watch the trichomes for the levels of amber and watching the pistols very closely Feels like yesterday she was only a little snuck (snake duck aka seedlings) I may not be following the info to the letter but that's because I am particular when it comes to trichomes

Hey hey!!! So we're almost at the end of our journey and grow diary, Considering the info said she's not known for her yields and the point is quality over quantity, she's done pretty well imo Now I begin the second week of flushing and it seems to be going to plan. Because I've been flushing the nutrients out of the soil, she's had no option but to suck the nutrients out of the leafs giving us these nice colors After flush ill do a non mandatory step and place her in a dark room for a week which will be interesting to see how she looks Catch everyone next week.. Happy growing

Well we're finally here yaaay This plant was a joy to grow and not much to do, she looks after herself Yeild isn't bad if the dry weight can be around 84g but I'm not holding my breath as the info about this strain says that she's not grown for her big yields but for quality
