Gorilla Glue Auto

i had to force flower my gorilla glue but not the tangie. both are looking quite nice now tho. i like them sooooo much more then 42 so far tho. much better genetic in my op

@MissCannabitch, I saw that, would be very stressful with lots of 'wtf's' being uttered as I start doubting my aptitude for greenery.

@Pajersey13, Thanks again...I am no pro lol! I am having a crazy fun time growing good big buds! All my plants have exceeded my expectations, so I credit Mother Nature and Dr Coco at coco for cannabis for any success.

@Weird_Jimmy, ill be watching man, your a pro🤙🤙🤙10 oz is outrageous and a good goal. i hope i get this much out of mine!

@Pajersey13, Thanks! The gorilla glue turned out wonderful! Its been a year since harvest and I still have lots left and it still wonderful to consume! It actually started becoming noticeably better around 6 months. Today, at 1+ years since harvest, it is still potent, but is starting to be a little more 'couch lock', however, it still has nice jar aroma, and still tastes like desert! I will have another diary starting soon.

@Buddha2, I checked my purple closely 2x a day. the buds were so tight I was reluctant to spread them out because they looked so pretty. The Hindu had two rotten big colas and while I didn't look closely everyday like I did the purple, it was also hidden from casual view. Going forward I will be spreading the big buds out a bit to get the air inside. I'm also researching applications of microbes to combat it.

@Weird_Jimmy, thanks! I checked every single bud and did not find any additional mold. So I had more luck than you. The small loss is a price I happily pay for this experience! Reading about mold in some tutorial is one thing, but nothing can beat seeing it with own eyes. Especially the speed in which this evolves completely surprised me. Now I know for sure that one needs to check the plants at least once or twice a day. Keep on growing that successfully!

@Buddha2, When I started growing last January, I wouldnt have believed I could do it nor did I set out to. All I wanted to do is help the plant reach its potential. But all 4 of my grows so far have been surprisingly rewarding, especially the Critical Purple. I have been lucky. Thanks for checking out my grow! Hope hope all your buds are Good Big Buds.

@Weird_Jimmy, ahh I see.. I just retired my blurple Sunraise 1000 myself and got the Mars Hydro TS 1000.. I havent used the Mars Hydro on a full grow just yet.. But it did decent on an auto that had just started flowering.. I love how simple it is to keep the TS cool.. Even without a builtin fan.. Still need to put 2 fans blowing on it but this TS stays cooler that my Sunraise 1000 did.. So glad I hoped out of the blurple world.. Gives me headaches.. Plus it was hard to see if the plants had any problems.. Not the the MH! I love this thing.. And its dimmable!!!

Hi @Professor_Chaos, thanks for the inquiry, glad to share. I got this COB off Amazon a year ago. Its 250w and produces a fair amount of heat. Its was cheap and helped make my plants big, but the heat in my circumstances is why I retired it. Warm white color...they don't sell this exact model but its listed as an 1800w 6led cob. The other two lights for this plant were the phyzon 1200, I've retired them too, they were the last gen blurple. I have the quantum board style LEDs now and they are full spectrum from Mars Hydro. There are lots of that style available from multiple brands and are in same price range and performance as the cobs with far less heat. 👉As far as will the cob I used work to grow good big bud?....yes. The plant produced very large fat sticky buds that I still toke on today. If it wasn't for the heat issues I would still use it. The heat isn't uncontrollable, but I wanted more coverage with non-blurple LEDs and another COB would make the heat a real issue. My Hindu Kush grow was a single plant with one COB and one Blurple, and it was the best structured plant I've grown yet.

@Weird_Jimmy, I was thinking the same thing. I have two more gg seeds from gcs, thinking of growing another and just letting it go like a Christmas tree alongside a white widow. Still impressive yield you got!

@ArborFarms, I started the count the day I put the seed into water to begin the germination process. If yours seems to be going slower it can be due to many things such as topping and defoliation. Stress also can slow it down.

@Kitties_and_Colas, Thanks!

@ThatoneAKguy, The Critical Purple i grew (wich pushed this one into the corner and reduced its potential), was 60" from its base. I suppose the method of frequent fertigation helps them reach their potential. 42" is about as tall as I would prefer, my current plant (Hindu Kush), is 47". The Tangerine Dream was more of the average of 36". They all had 4-6 week vegging before they started flowering. One of the reasons could be that they are only 10% ruderallis, Many of the autos from other companies are20% and those usually have a faster total time line, so would be shorter. I am using slightly stronger than 1/2 strength nutrient solutions (based on mfc feed chart). I feed to run-off 10-30% of the inflow 2x a day. I measure the EC run off, and adjust the strenghth of the feed water to maintain the run off EC within +30% of the feed EC. This keeps the medium EC in the optimum EC range for nutrient absorption. If the EC drops below the EC of the in flow that means the plant is absorbing nutrients. When that occures its possible to increase the streangth of the mix, however they are plenty big enough, so I just stick with the mid-low range target of EC. As far as lighting, I have 3 LED fixtures. 2 phlizon 1200s and one 6 led COB. All are economical lights with a full spectrum. The phizon is about 250 actual watts, and the COB is about 300 actual. The phlizon says 36" away, the COB says 17". During the veg stage I tried and maintained that distance. The gorilla sat under the cob, All 3 lights were running and two other plants were in tent (never again lol!). The gorilla during flower got within 4 inches of the COB. The light from the cob is more intense and has a warmer feel. I kept fans blowing on the tops of the plants. I kept a close eye out for bleaching or burn. None of which occurred. My current plant has just two of the lights going, the cob and the phlizon (with the lights for the stage its at so 1/2 power) and they are positioned within 17 inches for both lights with the main cola in the center and a little closer. I would follow mfc guidelines until you know how plants will do under them. Space availability forced me to run the lights closer. I believe good ventilation has allowed me to have my lights a little closer than recommended.
