Introduction - Week 02 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 9972.8,
Ensign is back with another grow log!
Feeling absolutely irie and am stoked to grow out some new genetics! Going to attempt to grow some ‘Gorilla Goat’ from ‘Irie Genetics!’ The lineage is ‘Gorilla Glue #4’ and ‘Golden Goat.’ These seeds are feminized photoperiodic.
Since I’m currently growing perpetually, this grow log will be started in week 2 of veg. Technically this is beginning the 3rd week from seed. Both week 0 and 1 are covered in my last grow log cycle.
Already have to say that these genetics have definite signs of vigor! Both seeds were fully rooted in solo cups within the first week of growth! Also the difference in size from the beginning of the week to the end of the week is just incredible!
Also for this grow cycle, plan to flower out two ‘Garlic Budder’ clones (‘Humboldt Seeds Co’) from a previous cycle. These were cut from the vegging mother plants just after the Gorilla Goat seeds were started.
Anyways, this week was mainly tending to the 3x3 veg tent.
Plan to start resetting the 4x4 tent and begin transplanting soon.
Onwards Ensign! Engage!
