As my other GG-grow is very unsure, that it will be successfull, i decided to start a new grow with a new Gorilla Glue Auto seed.
Started pregermination 2 days ago in a wet tissue. Today the root came out from the seed and i moved the seed into an jiffy tab.
Waiting now, till seedling will come out to see his first light.
======================
Update 3-Mar - day 3
Seedling came out of soil today to see the first light.
Hello. I need your Opinion please. Because i always had a too high EC-value with my grows, i tested a completely new soil (Biomixx light), flushed the soil without any plant - and what a surprise: EC was 2.5! This is much too high for cannabis-grow, isn't it? I'm really confused
Biobizz uses organic fertiliser to prefertilise the soil.Organic fertiliser have a very high ec ( bigger parts than synthtic fertliser). You know what i mean=?Biobizz soil is a great soil to start a seedling , i never had issues. Its just the bigger Parts of the organic content that makes a high EC.
I personally dont use a ec meter in soil.
If i start a new fertiliser i dont know, i start with 25 percent of the recommended amount, then i add more if plant reacts well. And i only use fertiliser if plant shows adefiency.Biobizz soil is prefertilised so you need no fertiliser for minimum 4-5 weeks.
High Ec is in that medium no problem .
What may get a problem is to keep a automatic plant in a small pot
I start all my automatics after germination in a final pot filled with a nice prefertilised soil ( like biobizz)
Moved seedling into pot with soil today. Light is not fully on, because i want to give the seedling 2-3 days for light-acclimatization. Seedling is in shadow of my other plant - the 2nd grow.
This,seedling should be my "backup-grow" for my 2nd grow, because few days ago it was very unsure that my 2nd grow will be successfully.
====================
Update 11-Mar -Day 13
Seems, that i have problems with my backup-grow too. :-(
I have planted the Seedling in soil 5 days ago, but the seedling become more and more yellow in the innerside of the leaves. I don't know, why i have so many problems this time with my grows. My first grow was easy, and now problems over problems....
Seedling was watered with pure water only, ph was 6.6. I'm wondering why it's getting yellow now.....
13 - Mar
My seedling - which should be my Backup- grow for my other plant (2nd grow) doesn't look healthy. It's getting more yellow from day to day and now also the leaves are completely hanging down.
I'm watering with pure water without any nutrients. Ph is 6.
Don't know what the problem is..
==================
Updatd 16-Mar
Have replanted from the big pot to a smaller pot with new soil, which i have flushed before. Checkedxthe roots, they're looking healthy.
Seedling looks very bad. But the upper new leaves are growing. And it seems, that the yellowing is degreasing a little bit.
Let's see and wait if she will survive.
In the middle of the plant , where the nodes of the leaves are located, there are white spots. Hopefully it's not a mold....
=======================
Update 18-Mar
Have loojed theough the microscope to check the wgite spots. These are tiny hairs and looks like the trichomes. Very strange - did'nt know that a seedling can produce trichomes if it is very stressed. Hmm....
I don't give her up! She's looking better from day to day! Have filled little bit of new soil yesterday. Today she looks better. Let's see what will happen with her.
=====================
Update 25-Mar
Same here. Gave a little bit of Root fertilizer few days ago - dose was only 10 % of the recommended dose - and now the plant has white leaves at the upper side.
If i give fertilizers, i everytime run in troubles. No fertilizers with my next grow!
Bad, bad bad - thats all i can say to this creature. The upper leaves become white now, knowbody knows what the problem could be. I will not destroy her, i want to see what happens with this plant if she's living with this problems.
I have moved her today in a new bigger pot with new soil and added a little bit grow fertilizer. The roots looks good - so i don't really know what the problem is. She will remain as an lab-experiment and lab-experience.
I don't expect any yield from that plant.
My freaky and nearly-death-experimental plant .
No news so far. Today i spotted, that she's starting with bloom. No chance for any yield, this plant looks like an death one.
All new leaves are white, the very first old leaves are green. Strange. ...
My lab-experiment with my freaky albino plant. She has started with flowering a few days ago!
Never thaught, that such a freaky plant can flower. I will let her alive, just for science and to see, how strong this plant is. She doesn‘t want to give up!
Let‘s see what will happen with her ..
Plant is going outdoor now.
Because my other grow ( 2nd grow Gorilla Glue) has finished now, and harvesting is in progress, i have moved this freaky plant from the growbox out to my balcony, because i do not want to pay for power, if i don‘t know, what will happen with this plant.
So this grow (can i name this one as an „grow“? ) has changed from indoor to outdoor now.
The day-temperatures are at 20 degress at the moment - we have a sunny period now, but therefore the night-temperatures will go down until 8 degrees. I don‘t want to move the plant every evening into the room. So this experiment is going ahead - but with outdoor-situation now. Let‘s see what will happen.
The plant is flowering. The leaves are changing their colour from white to yellow and light green. But the whole plant doesn‘t look like an cannabis-plant. She‘s looking more like an salad-plant 😗 Interesting...
27-April - Day 60
This is an outdoor grow now. Plant looks better and better since i hace moved her from the growbox to the balcony outdoor. But if she begins to smell too strong, i have give here indoor again, because of the neighbours. But i don‘t await ana yield, so i have to made an decision than: indoor with costs for power, or give her to the waste.
The leaves getting more and more greener, they are lightgreen now. Height is approx. 15 cm. He‘s standing on an place, where the sun is shining from morning till afternoon, than she‘s in the shadow,
Didn‘t thaught, that she will alive, but now she looks like, that she will. 😀 She‘s flowering.😀
2-May - Day 65
No news this week.
We have Day 65, the plant has changed her height from 15 cm last week to 20 cm this week.
The leaves are very lightgreen, partially yellow, but she‘s looking like ancannabis-plant now. 😀
No smell yet.
We had an heavy rainy day 2 days ago, and the plant is located outdoors, so i‘m afraid, that the pot was flushed with the rain. So i will add little bit fertilizers with next watering.
11-May - Day 74
No news so far. Plant is outdoor and looks like last week. Leaves have light green colour with partially yellow colour.
Plant is smelling little bit now and because of my neighbours, i have to move the plant into indoor again, if the smell will increase additionally.
Plant is 5 cm higher than last week. No buds, but very small flowers.
No photos today, only a photo of my cat, but will deliver photos from the plant in the next days. Sorry.
=====================
Update 12-May - Day 75
Have updated now with photos from the plant. Measured again - height is 30 cm now.
No news so far. Plant‘s colour is light green, but she‘s looking good.
Buds are very very small, you cannot name them as „buds“.
Height is exactly 30 cm. Very weak smell.
She‘s still at an outdoor place on my balcony. With next watering, i will give small amount of fertilizers.
23-May - Day 86
No news an no changes since last week.
Plant is always located outdoor, and we had many days with heavy rain last week. Hopefully the live in the soil was not washed away. But the plant looks as the same as 1-2 weeks ago. Smells a little bit.
The newest leaves are very small, buds are very small. Let‘s wait and see, what happens next 😀
Plant has changed her height up to 35 cm from 30 cm last week. But therefore the weak smell has gone completely. No smell anymore. Also the buds do not grow in their size. No trychomes. Leaves are very light green, seems that they are changing the colour more to yellow again..
I think, the plant gave up with producing trychomes, maybe she‘s not strong enough to do that.
But otherwise the plant is growing in her size ... 😶
I will let her do what she wants to do, and what she likes to do 😀
Let‘s see what happens next. Will give bloom fertilizer with next watering.
Last week didn‘t made an entry here. So we should be already in week 16 now, but i didn‘t find out, how to create an week as an placeholder without any entry.
Have changed this week‘s growdiaries inidcator from flowering-status back to vegetation status again. Because i do not think that the plant is really flowering. No Buds, only little flowers with big leaves - seems that she doesn‘t create any buds. Never mind - this plant for me is an experiment and this plant for me is now, that she is „my first cannabis ornamental plant“ on my balcony 😉
Again she has changed here size - from 35 cm two weeks ago, to 40 cm this week.
The leaves are mostly yellow, some light-green, and some leaves are changing to brown and are wilted.
I do not watering too much, if the pot weight is very light, i‘m watering till little drain comes out from the bottom. I give Biobizz fertilizers since last week. The smell is very very weak, you need a very good sense of smell, that you smell anything.
I am already curious, what will happen next.
5-Jul - Day 129
We are in week 19 now and the plant is going ahead with the blooming.
Smell is very weak, but i have already a few very small and fluffy buds.
The leaves are very light-green, and the leaves are very small. There are a few brown leaves too. No yellow leaves anymore.😀
Think there a already a few very small trichomes on the buds, but i did‘nt check yet with the microscope.
The height of the whole plant is 40 cm now.
If i will receive no yield from the buds, i will make a hemp-tea 😉
I give her with every watering little nutrients now - 4 ml/lt Biobizz Bio-Bloom, 4 ml/lt Biobizz Bio-Grow and 4 ml/lt Biobizz Top-Max.
I have added 4 photos, made today.. If we take a view to the first photos at the beginning of this grow, it is really an absolutely miracle, that this plant has survived - i cannot believe this😀😀😀
That‘s all for the moment. If there are no news, then i will udate in 2-3 weeks at the latest.
L😀
My freaky plant will be ready for harvest in 2-3 weeks i think. Unbelievable that i can do a harvest with this plant. If you look to the photos in week 4-6, the plant was nearly dying. Now i have a few buds, not very big, but they are!😀😀
The plant is light green, few leaves are yellow and brown and withered, which i pull away.
Have checked the trichomes, most of them are clear, not milky. Plant have not changed her height since 2 weeks - height is 40 cm .
I gave last nutrients 2 days ago, think this will be the last fertilizers. Will flush with pure water from now.
Think i will do harvest in 2-3 weeks.😀 Unbelievable 😀😀😀😇
2-August
The plant is ready for harvest! 😀
Checked the trichomes with the microscope, approx. 80% are milky now, approx. 15-20% are amber and brown.
So i flushed with pure water again today, and i will harvest my freaky plant in the next few days.😀
This time, after cutting the plant, i will hang up and dry the whole plant for 1-2 weeks and then i will do an „dry trim“.
This will be my first trial to do an „dry trim“.
Will be interesting, how much yield i will have - think it will be 10-20 grams - dry. We will see 😀😀
What an crazy grow .... 😅
============================
Update Monday 5-Aug
Did an last flush with pure water today, removed any few death and brown leaves, and checked trichomes again with the microscope.
Think there are more than 20% brown now. 90 % of the white trichomes are milky now, 10% clear.
It‘s time for harvesting and I will do this in 2 days. Today i harvested an small bud for an test😀
This plant is confusing me:
She has very small leaves, most of the leaves have only 3 fingers instead of 5 fingers, and all the leaves are little bit deformed (photos). She had never the big „sun-leaves“.
Leaves were always yellow during the whole grow, sometimes they were white coloured, and in the best case they were light-green - but they had never the colour of an healthy looking green.
It will stay as an big secret, what has happened with this plant ...😶
TEST:
Dried the test-bud with my vaporizer. Vaped beginning with 170 degrees. Whammm😜
What can i say.... never thaught that i can do any harvest with this plant, never thaught that any harvest will have any psychoactive effect... what an miracle....
The test bud is really good, if you know that this plant was nearly dead from the beginning of this grow.
And now i have a superb weed here - it‘s not too heavy - but it‘s an very good high. Very strong head-high - must be 70% sativa, it‘s an very clear high, and my mind is very clear and creative. Few short moments of thinking paranoid, but not too much. I have no couch lock, and i can work on the computer without doing any mistakes😊 I‘m reading a book, and i can remember after reading 10 sides, what i have read (!)😉😉
I‘m really very very satisfied with my little freaky and crazy punky Gorilla Glue 😬😂😁😆😉😇😜😘😀
Good good good!
😀 thank you, who ever/whatever it was - thank you🙌🙌
Thank you to the community, who helped me very much and gave me good hints here in this diary ! THANK YOU!
🙌👏🙌👏😀
And now - I have to read again in my book now 😀😉 - i will report the harvest in a few days
😀
========================
Update 7-Aug - Day 162 - 2 days after testing an bud
The testbud was really great. My mind was completely clear again the day after, happy and good feeling too. Great weed! What an great weed this crazy and freaky plant has produced 😀
Now i‘m preparing for the harvest:
today i have checked again the trichomes with the microscope, 20-30 % are amber now, the rest is milky, there are a few clear trichomes - now is the best moment for the harvest😀
Removed all death and brown leaves, then i moved the plant from outdoor to indoor, down to my cellar in the dark.
Plant will stay there for the next 24 hrs, then i will cut her and will hang up her for drying.
I will not do an „wet dream“ this time. Because this grow was always an experimental grow from the beginning, i will try to do an „dry trim“ with this plant. I will hang up the whole plant for 1-2 weeks for drying, after then i will trim the buds and give them into the jars for curing. I want to know, how it works with an „dry trim“.
Clear head high, more the Sativa-hemp - high. But i had many many problems with that grow - the plant was nearly dead at the beginning and i didn‘t await any psychoactive effects with the yield. I am really surprised how strong the plant was and that she has survived this crazy and freaky grow. 😀
9-Aug - Day 163
Harvested today after plant was in the dark for the last 24 hrs.
Have hung up the whole plant for drying. I spotted a few Bud-rots on smaller buds. I removed these small buds with bud-rot, just to be sure, that nothing will happen.
I gave the buds with bud-rot into a jar, to start a new experiment: what will happen in the jar with the mould. I will make photo-updates here to show, if the mould will take overhand in this jar with the bud-rots in. Sorry for my next experimental-thing. My scientic interests are coming out here.😉
On the scales i had 98 grams - but it‘s the whole plant without any trim. I will do the drim after the plant has been dried. So i think, that the weight of the dry bud will be approx. 10-15 grams. I will update the right weight, if all has been dried.
So my crazy and freaky grow is ending here - i am really surprised how strong this plant was - the plant was nearly dead in week 2-4, then i gave her up, moved her from indoor to outdoor, and exchanged this grow into an experimental grow, just to know, if this plant will survive. And yes - she did! 😀
But not only this: i did not await any harvest outcome here - but yes - she did!😀
But not only this: i did not await any psycho-effect if i will have any bud - but yes - it did!😀😎
And what an great weed i have got here! I tested an bud few days ago - see week 23 where i reported the effects of the test-bud there.
So, what can i say: i never, never, never have awaited such an successfully grow after athe problems, what the plant had. I do not know, what went wrong, but never mind.
She has survived and the grow took a very long time (24 weeks) for an automatic-seed.
But it shows - to be patient it pays off! And what i have learned with this grow is: never be worried if you have a few yellow or brown leaves at the beginning - the plant is strong anough that she can adjust by herself and the only thing she wants to do in her live is, that she is going into flowering-state and bloom under any circumstances! 😀
So i want to thank the whole community here for all the visits, comments and all likes, and all the hints and tips you gave me!
All of you have helped me very much, not to give up with my „freaky grow“😉
==================
THANK YOU! 🙏: 1:😀
.==================
Please come back, if you‘re interested, what the partially moulded buds will do in the jar. I will update with photos here, how it develops (think i will update a photo every week)
Have uploaded last Mould-Experimental photos today - 30-Aug -
This were 23 days to explore, how the mould was growing on the buds with bud rot, which i separated from the yield and gave them into an separated jar.
Bye! Cu with the next grow! 😀
===========================
Final update after Drying - 14-Aug
Today i have trimed the Buds and have a dry weight now: it's 13.30 grams (photos)
This was the last update here, i will update with photos my mould experiment.
That's all from my side in this diary
See you at the next grow! :-)
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you for your quick reply and for your prayer :-)
Yes, i will let her grow, it's a new lab-plant from now ;-)
A new experiment, what's happening with completely yellow seedlings. Not so bad, i have a few more seeds at home ;-) Thank you.
@@@@DaveG,oh man .... does not look very good......i would send a little prayer, but the sedling looks like 7 dys old , very humble and yellow, dont know if she will recover at all
From day 13 she started to look bad,yellowing from inside... not good
I have no clue what happens . let her grow and lets look if she recovers dont overwater ( 10-30 ml per day)
But i think she got a damage early...... so sad
Hi @Mrs_Larimar, may i kindly ask you another question please? My seedling looks very bad.
Have planted the seedling last week into the Biobizz light mix - soil, and since then the colour changes to yellow. (photos)
Since 3 days also the leaves are hanging down. I don' t know what the problem is, and i think, that my Biobizz soil is wrong or maybe it is bad ( please remember my last question with ec-value of my biobizz light.) Maybe the storage-situation of the soil was a wrong one. But the earth looks good, smells normal . Don't know.
Any idea from your side? Thank you very much for your help.
congratulations. you are Patience in Person. You have been so kindly to let her grow and document that for us, so this is my " HOPE_ DIARY" where i have to look if i mess something up. thy for sharing it
Thank You! @Mrs_Larimar, you helped me very much here, always good hints from you and you gave me the ‚price for the patience😉‘
It‘s a very big pleasure for me that i have created an „hope-diary“ as it was named by you 👍 and i can help with it, but,
also for me...
- everytime i’ll get in troubles with any future grow, i can then read this diary.
I am an microdoser, so i do not need to have an very big outcome, i need 10 grams per year - so with this amount of green grass, it‘s very easy to do a little bit experimental things beside the aim😉😉
This freaky grow will have outcome of 10 grams - i think so - that’s enough for me for the next year 😎
Thank you again for your help and that following my diary always with very good comments😀👍🙏😀
I agree its Unbelievable, and it shows how resiliant hemp is....this grow helps me alot not to give up on a plant... for me you earned an extra price for Patinience and Love to let her grow
@Mrs_Larimar, the same for me. I will never be scary again in future, if i will have a few yellow leaves at the next grows.
Thank you for the extra price 😉😀😀😀
😀 yes, hemp must be one of the strongest plants in nature.
What an crazy grow - now I‘m awaiting an small amount of yield. Some weeks ago i never thaught, that this will ever happen.😅😀
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah, you’re right. That‘s an proof that hemp is very strong and the plants never give up. 😀 Never i will be scary again, if i have a few yellow leaves on my next grow😎
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah you‘re right. This crazy grow is the best proof for showing the strong resilience of cannabis-plants .
So with my future grows, i will not get scared anymore, if there are some leaves, which become yellow 😂
a friend of me grow the gorilla too and they look different, and the like it to take very long to flower, and in the end it looks nearly poisony... neonyellow and neongreen , but the effects maan... i did some cookies and i went to sleep after.. heavy stuff
Dude your lamp is way too close to your plant. I would say germ a new one 🤔 pull your lamp up to 70-90cm from top pot. Use much more root in first 2/3 weeks ✌️
yeah i tend to say she is burned.....very sad . .... i would go with another seed
i think you were right with the " bad batch" of soil .....its very sad
That's some crazy looking growth! Know it's not what you wanted unfortunately but fascinating to see none the less. Hope she pulls through and gives you some great buds
@Denzul, yeah it‘s really an very crazy grow.
I don‘t await any yield from this - it‘s an experimental grow for me only, just to see, how strong these plants are. For me this is an miracle, that she has survived so far😀
All I can say about this plant it wow. Just looked through all 22 weeks off this grow and couldn't believe how well its come on from the beggining. U must have the patience of a saint, I would have tossed it way back around your week 3 or 4. I'm no expert but the cause of the white leaves early on could have been light bleaching from your light being way to close. Good luck with the remaining few weeks.
@hashy, Thank you for the comment😀 yes, i also thaught, that the reason for the white leaves must be light bleaching, but i tried it also to increase the distance to the light - didn‘t help. Never mind, the plant has survived, and this grow shows, how strong hemp is. And it shows, that nobody should be worried about a few yellow leaves on a plant 😉
Never give up! We also had a plant that looked more dead than alive for most of her time. Every single leaf did turn yellow and brown after a few days and needed to get removed. But still the plant yielded 50 gram in the end and it was very, very good quality.
@Buddha2, I had an similary grow, half of the grow-time the plant was looking sick, many leaves became yellow, but at the end she brought me an nice yield with very good quality and the buds were full of many trychomes. 😀
It seems, that the more stress she has, the better is the quality of the trychomes.
And we can learn from these plants: never give up - as you said 😀
