It is more and more hot outside. Grasshoppers eating the fan leaves as they are working as my trimmers ) Cut the second bush - critical kush auto. Already dry ) less than a week laying on a piece of cardboard. Total wet weight was 660 grams , so dry it will be around 150g. Already tried smoking it ) Gorilla glue is way bigger, buds are more fat and sticky, but still need some more time to mature. All of a sudden the clone of gorilla start to grow like in veg period! And it was cut from the plant during flowering! You can see it on the picture. It throws single leaves very often, and looks totally wired. Curious to see what will happen to it later.
There may be a science behind that explanation but most likely the stress it caused the clone to fluctuate from it's cycle is possible. Simply put, when autos experience any out of the norm stresses, in most cases the flowering stage is differed and or prolonged.
Interesting grow, looks good. Reminds me of when I was in Santa Cruz in the 70's and saw someone growing plants in a tub filled with sand. They grew fast and were big.
Hi @Sunny! Many factors can lead to burnt tips, but from what I read I think it's combination of heat and underwatering. With such high temperatures, make sure your medium is always wet. Good luck until the finish line! 👊
I love outdoor growing. It's my favorite...but mother nature and pests are killer. I had some tomato worm/Caterpillar troubles and i killed em on site but also tried some bt sprays and that worked pretty good.
Looking really good, just keep an eye out for sudden changes in growth/health.
"It can grow really big if it's not auto" - Yes it can: https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/929766_african-bagseedscustomsativa-dominant-hybrids.jpg .
Those plants have 60cm space around them, that was about 6 weeks ago, tallest plants >3.5m, with extreme heat at times. They all fell over over from weight recently.
Nice plant!
I live in the dunes so I mixed some soil from the shop together with sand and now she’s growing in open soil.
Yours are in open ground so why do you water them everyday? Can’t the riots find water deeper in the ground?
I hardly ever water mine :)
Your going to have a big harvest from this auto!
Best of luck! 👍
@CoastGrower,
I’m using dripping tubes, for the whole garden. there are two small sprinklers at this spot. Don’t really measure it by volume but know how much time is enough depending on the heat and wind
@CRiSPrGrow, there was a small branch down the bush of gorilla auto, so I cut it and put under a lemon tree beside it just for fun. I didn’t expect it would start to grow. And all of a sudden it did. I just don’t understand why all other clones didn’t. They just formed a little bud.
gorrilla glue is a bit slower than average autos, could be a good idea to mix some fertiliser with flowering ratio if you want to kick it into gear : like molasses with some PK - hope this helps ! 🚀
