Gorilla Goat - Irie Genetics - Fabric Pot - SCROG

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!

Introduction - Week 04 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8011.1, Great grow week in the garden! Growth has been incredible and have been impressed with the Gorilla Goat phenos! Really liking both the growth morphology and wow the terps on the stem rubs have been loud and gassy! Have already decided to preserve these genetics and will take clones next week to begin the new veg mother rotation. Oh! Flooded the tent for the first time (damnit Ensign). Upgraded the gravity feed reservoir and added a drain valve. Still have the outlet valve OFF and still checking for leaks. Inoculated all pots with worms and have been trying to keep up with watering. Plan to start prepping for the 12/12 flip to flower soon. Lot’s more to do Ensign, maximum warp! Engage!

Damnit Ensign.. --- Also will modify the reservoir and tubing setup a bit later. I think shortening the tubing will increase the pressure? I dunno.. - [17:27]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow! --- Growth actually looks pretty damn good! --- Both Gorilla Goat phenos looking perky and fan leaves are huge and green! --- Even both Garlic Budder phenos were looking quite happy! --- Surprisingly the soaked phenos (Gorilla Goat #1 and the Garlic Budder OG#2) are looking incredible!

Which I did, but plants look great and no signs of any damage. - [19:19]: Throughout the day I swapped out the reservoir tank with a new one. --- Basically the same tank but this time I flipped the tank upside down and now have the output valve facing the front of the tent (had to cut a hole at the top). --- Also now output valve on the tank is more robust and is using proper fittings. --- Also shortened the watering system’s tubing a good 3ft. --- Going to leave the tank empty for now. --- Plan to add a drain valve later (this will help whenever I need to drain the system). - [20:14]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Garlic Budder mothers are all looking healthy and green! --- Canopy grow is getting a bit wild. --- Time to top! - [20:15]: Using a pair of trimmers, --- Removed a good 5-6 inches of top growth. - [20:40]: Done! --- Canopy looks a whole lot better! --- Mulched the trimmings. - [21:17]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the original #2’s straw mulch. - [21:25]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Wow what a day.. --- Was not expecting the tank to flood, but everything seems to have worked out nicely. --- Hope I didn’t frack it up (again).

The Gorilla Goat fan leaves are huge! Some leaves are larger than my hand. By far the largest leaves I’ve ever grown! Shout out to Rasta Jeff and his incredible genetics! --- Also on the stem rubs, the terps are like nothing I’ve ever smelled! Wow! --- Already have decided to keep both Gorilla Goat phenos and will take clone cuttings soon. Plan to eventually swap out two of the Garlic Budder mother plants (most likely the #2 and #4 phenos). --- Garlic Budder phenos are looking healthy and happy as well!

Introduction - Week 05 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8030.3, Busy week in the garden! In preparation for the flower phase, top dressed all pots in the main tent. Also fertilizer fed for the first time this cycle. Then took clone cuttings of all phenos and by the end of the week have already begun the process of rooting in Coco Coins. Also replaced the drip ring and re-connected the auto-watering system. In the veg tent, did a pretty heavy topping and defoliation. Aside from that, it’s been watering as needed. Had a minor break out of fungus gnats in both tents. Been inoculating with BTI which seems to be working great! Next week begins the big 12/12 flip and the big two-week stretch! Onwards to next week!

[END OF WEEK 05]

Introduction - Week 06 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8049.51, Overall a pretty simple grow week! Started the week off with the flip to 12/12. Also leveled out the scrog frame and have already begun training the Garlic Budder phenos. The Gorilla Goat phenos are just barely under the netting and have continued to remain relatively squat. Hoping next week there will be a bit more upwards growth to start filling in the scrog netting. Started feeding bloom nutrients and have been fine tuning the auto-watering system throughout the week. Topped the veg tent and have been keeping up with watering as needed. Checked for clone roots and there was none quite yet. Will check again soon and plan to transplant into solo cups soon. Onwards to the second week of the bloom stretch!

This way I can monitor the watering to make sure the drip ring is even and can check the soil moisture levels go up before another flood occurs. --- Anyways, back to the 3x3, - [21:41]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the original #2’s straw mulch. - [21:53]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

The clone of her is also the tallest in the main tent. Fascinating how genetics work. Going to need to top later. --- Checked on the propagation dome, --- Clones are vegging along beautifully! --- Misted the top growth with some distilled water. - [23:34]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the original #1’s straw mulch. - [23:44]: Repeated this process again for the #4 pheno. --- Focused mainly on the straw. - [23:55]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Plan to both feed and if rooted, transplant the Coco Coins soon.

All cuttings look healthy so not concerned. --- Could be due to the colder temps (colder local weather means colder lung room). Probably could lower the propagation dome closer to the grow light, but not in any hurry so going to leave everything as is. --- Misted the top growth with some distilled water. --- Also spayed each Coco Coin a bit. --- Was planning on transplanting today, but will check back in a few more days. - [20:19]: Checked on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking beautiful! --- Both Gorilla Goat phenos have not reached the scrog net yet, but wow! Getting quite bushy! --- The original Garlic Budder #1 is almost at the netting and the original #2 is already being trained. - [20:43]: Took general PPFD readings. ------ Gorilla Goat #1 was around 259 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 11.19 mol/m²/d under an 12/12 light cycle. ------ Gorilla Goat #2 was around 264 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 11.40 mol/m²/d under an 12/12 light cycle. - [20:57]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Gorilla Goat #1 was about 15.5" tall. ------ Gorilla Goat #2 was about 18.5" tall. ------ All phenos were about 37.5" away from the grow light. --- Okay! Time to stretch feed! --- Going with half the recommended BuildASoil dosage. Also adding in a bit of Lotus CalMag. --- Don’t frack this up Ensign! - [21:30]: Filled a pitcher with 16 cups (1 gallon) of RO water. ------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Lotus Cal/Mag --------- Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid] ------ Added 1/4tsp of: --------- Bio-Phos --------- BuildABloom ------ Added 1/2tsp of: --------- Pure Protein Dry [Organic Fish Aminos] --------- Horticultural Coconut --- Mixed the solution and poured 4 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Gave the sprayer another good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Gorilla Goat #1’s straw mulch. --- Focused mainly on the straw. - [22:06]: Repeated this process again for the rest of the phenos in the tent. --- Focused mainly on the straw. - [22:13]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Introduction - Week 07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8068.69, Incredible grow week! All phenos in the main tent have reached the scrog netting and have been tucking and training them into the squares. Also upgraded the auto-watering system and fertilizer fed the entire tent. In the 3x3, transplanted all rooted Coco Coins into solo cups. Now the clones are looking great and vegging along beautifully. Also topped and dropped the canopy another good 5-6 inches. Buds have already started to swell and growth is continuing to stretch. Next week will be the 3rd week under 12/12 and should begin the first week of flower! Onwards Ensign!

Time to checked for roots! --- Ooo yea! --- Woah! Despite the top growth looking a bit stressed, both Gorilla Goat phenos roots are looking great! Wow! Garlic Budder clones had less roots, but also looked great! --- Time to transplant the rooted cuttings! - [17:08]: Took 4 old solo cups (has bottom corners cut for drainage) and marked each cup with the name, pheno number and the date. --- Then partially filled each cup with fresh BuildASoil 3.0 potting soil. --- To help prevent water from leaking out while watering, made sure that the lower soil was well compacted. --- Inoculated each cup with Great White mycorrhizae. ------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White - [17:25]: Took each rooted clone and placed her into a solo cup. --- Made sure each solo cup had enough room for more soil for the sides and top. - [17:27]: Inoculated each Coco Coin with Great White mycorrhizae. ------ Sprinkled about an 1/16tsp of Great White onto each Coco Coin. --- Tried to cover the top and sides evenly. - [17:43]: Gently filled each solo cup with more soil. --- Completely covered each Coco Coin and made sure to tuck the sides snug with soil (but not as snug as the lower soil). --- Evened out the top soil. Now each Coco Coin is about 1/4-1/2 inch below the top soil. - [18:00]: Added some BuildASoil Organic Straw Mulch to the top. --- To help cover the top soil easier, broke the straw mulch up a bit with scissors. --- Time to water! - [18:06]: Filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed and poured the solution straight into a spray bottle. - [18:13]: Took the weight of each pheno before watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 270.7g ------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 273.9g ------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 273.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 290.8g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of each cup. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Repeated this process until each cup was around 325g --- There was no runoff. - [18:27]: Took the weight of each pheno after watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #1 weighed 325.6g ------ Gorilla Goat #2 weighed 325.5g ------ Garlic Budder OG#1 weighed 325.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 weighed 325.4g --- Not going to use any humidity domes this time and will let the clones harden off in the veg tent. - [18:32]: Placed each cup into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Each cup is resting in the center of the tent on an upside-down pot (for added height and bottom insulation). --- Misted the top growth with some distilled water. --- Done! --- Hopefully the Gorilla Goat phenos recover from the cloning process. They both look deficient compared to the Garlic Budder which look green and healthy. --- The Gorilla Goat clones did have more root growth than the Garlic Budder, so now that they are in soil, hope to see healthy growth soon. - [19:36]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Woah! Nice! --- Gorilla Goat #1 has just the netting! --- As soon as they start stretching beyond the netting, the training will begin! --- Under canopy growth is getting full and looking healthy! Plan to do another round of defoliation, but going to let everything grow for now. --- Just stoked that both Gorilla Goat phenos have finally reached the netting! --- Tucked a few more tops under the netting. - [19:49]: Filled a pump sprayer with 5 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/32tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Garlic Budder original #1’s straw mulch. - [20:08]: Time for another grow upgrade! --- Adding another drip ring and Ecowitt WittBoy smart water timer to the system! --- To incorporate the new timer, also using bits of extra RO tubing along with an assortment of fittings and 8mm flex tubing. --- If all goes well, going to have both Gorilla Goat on full auto watering soon! Let’s go! ------ [about one hour later..] - [21:11]: Done! --- To ensure that both water systems remain independent, had to split the reservoir’s outlet line. --- From there, the setup is pretty much identical to the first drip ring setup. --- Placed the second timer next to the first one. --- To ensure that the 8mm rubber flex tubing does not get pinched when entering the tent, I added a 5-6in piece or RO tubing and shut-off valve for the section inside the tent’s vent hole (the rubber tubing was getting pinched by the tightened vent ropes). --- Once inside the tent, the water line is routed to Gorilla Goat #1’s 5-gallon fabric pot. --- The 8mm rubber tubing feeds straight into a reducer fitting which attaches to 3mm super flex tubing before feeding into the drip ring. --- Eventually plan to incorporate the deep soil meters, but for now, have the drip ring placed pretty close to the soil sensor (to hopefully prevent flooding). - [21:26]: Set the watering triggers for the WittFlow auto-watering system. --- Set the ON trigger to: ------ When CH1 soil moisture is under 40% --- Set the OFF trigger to: ------ When CH1 soil moisture is over 45% --- Okay! The system is all set and now running within established parameters! --- Over the next few days, will keep checking for leaks. - [21:35]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Introduction - Week 08 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8087.86, Another great grow week in the garden! By far my best grow cycle and bud growth has really started to swell up! Gave a bloom feeding and plan to top dress in a couple weeks. The veg tent has also been healthy with growth! Did a pretty large topping, but growth has already fully recovered and looking great! Also watered the clones and growth has been overall incredible! Also added more beans to the seed vault and I’m continuing to learn about monohybrid breeding and genetic stabilization. Anyways, onwards to next week Ensign!

Introduction - Week 09 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 8107.04, Another great week of growing! Been continuing to expand my genetic library and diving into the world of breeding! Received new beans along with a breeding book which will be an essential resource for future grow cycles and eventual breeding projects. Growth in the main tent has been incredibly healthy! Every pheno is raging with bud growth. The canopy is full and starting stretch upwards nicely. Also getting distinctly different terpene profiles from both Gorilla Goat phenos. Compared to my previous grows, this is by far my best grow yet! Also increased the VPD a bit. As for the veg tent. Been watering as needed, but growth is starting to get out of control! Mother plants are already bushing out and clones are getting a bit tall. Need to cycle and rotate the clones into the larger pots soon. Towards the end of the week there was a minor breakout of gnats so started inoculating with BTI again. Anyways, next week plan to top dress the main tent and will need to tend to the veg tent. Onwards to next week!
