Gorilla 4 Fast (Peppino)

NidoR420 Fastest and strongest seed so far. Outgrew 2/3 older Tropic OZZ x Yellow Melon. Smaller pot, in a pot cover which I believe helps with the heat but it’ll quickly need repotting. Main root already reached the bottom of the pot after only 5 days.

NidoR420 It is growing strong, I will start adding Boom Roots in small quantity from now on (0.75ml/L). I decided this one will go in a 15 galons pot when it’ll need repotting. Added 1cm of dirt on the day of watering to stabilise the plant. She is doing fantastic at the end of week 2, by far the best genetics between the 4 I’m growing. Roots have reached the bottom and it constantly need more water, even if the top is not dry. I removed the pot cover to reduce the humidity, and will bottom water her until she’s repotted. I think doing a small amount daily is optimal.

NidoR420 Day 15 after germination: she needs water every day and will be repotted this week. I will transplant in a 15 galons fabric pot, and top her after she recovered. I don’t think I will train this one, will decide after topping. I’m a bit worried as some white spots appeared on the leaves but it doesn’t seem to spread so far and might just be leaf burns. I had some cases of mildiou on my tomato plants and am hoping it didn’t spread. Day 18 post-germination, she finally got into her final pot! She’s still doing great, and I hope she has enough time to grow. We’re already below 14 hours of light a day in two weeks, so I might not train her at all after a second thought. It is growing thicker and thicker every day but I fear it’ll be distorted due to the angle of the sun (rooftop).

NidoR420 She is doing wonderfully, growing rapidly and will soon enter in flowering. I’m also super happy as it is indeed a she and will therefore keep going :)

NidoR420 Day 30 post germination, she entered in preflower! Didn’t train nor top her at all, she completely outgrew the other strain I’m growing, but also finished her veg much earlier. I’m expecting to harvest this one around mid/late September. I added a support on day 32, which was a fantastic idea as we had heavy wind all the rest of the week. I also think adding it only now was good as it bent really hard during veg, which certainly helped thickening the main canopy. She probably finished most of her stretch by the end of WK5. I did some LST to expose the lower branches on day 34. So far, she is growing healthy - apart two light brown spots that recently appeared on 2 lower fan leaves, I’m suspecting a calcium deficiency but will see depending on its evolution.

NidoR420 Starting her first real week of flowering (last was half veg/preflower) Defoliated a few fan leaves and the lower node on day 37, exposing most of the flowers. This week was actually only plain water, to bring the ph closer to 6.5 and the ppm around 500.

NidoR420 Start of week 7 - 2nd week of flowering, pretty bad weather for the whole week but we shouldn’t go above 30 degrees anymore.
