Week Summary: Everything seems to coming along as planned. Saw alot of bud sites develop over the past week and Flo's now stretched to 20 inches. Learned that I shouldn't be altering the feeding regimen because she didn't really respond too well to the changes. Will be doing full strength nutrients for the remainder of her life. Saw some brown pests running around the plants so I implemented lady bugs and it looks like they've done their job. De-foliated the odd yellow dying leaf which she didn't seem to mind at all. Hopefully should see some nice buds start to form this week. 🎵 You can Grow your own way 🎵 Daily Activities: June 11, 2019 - checked the growing medium and water is needed today. Mixed 5 ml CALiMAGic with a gallon of water and brought the pH to 6.02. Gave Flo 1L of water, and saw no runoff so gave her another 500 ml. Started noticing what looks like a calcium deficiency which made me wonder if my pH was off. Didn't see any runoff after that so I decided to try and flush them with pH water. Ended up adding about 3L before I saw any runoff. pH'd the runoff and it was a little low(5.7). Will hold off on feeding for a couple waterings to stabilize the pH. Seemed to maintain 15 degrees in there overnight but I'll need to insulate it somehow. June 12, 2019 - checked the growing medium and no water is needed today. The ladies spent the day outside returning to the shed in the evening. June 13, 2019 - checked the growing medium and no water is needed this morning. She spent the day outside and later in the day the ladies were getting hungry. Mixed 10 mL CALiMAGic, 8 mL FloraMicro and 16 mL FloraBloom with 2 gallons of water. pH'd the feeding to 6.2. The runoff pH'd to 6.2 so I believe I flushed the nute buildup in the soil. This plant continues to branch out hard. She measures 22 inches leaf to leaf and only 20 inches in height. June 14, 2019 - checked the growing medium and no water is needed today. Seeing some more bud growth since feeding her yesterday. It was looking like it would be a bit branchy but things are starting to fill out. Noticed a little bit of frost forming around the flowers too! June 15, 2019 - checked the growing medium and no water needed this morning. De-foliated one of the dying yellow leaves today and left the ladies outside. Flo measures 20.6 inches in height now. June 16, 2019 - checked the growing medium and water is needed today. Mixed 12 mL CALiMAGic with two gallons water pH'd to 6.15 and gave Flo 1.5L of water. Runoff tested at 5.89 so things are normal. Decided to remove some of the lower pipe cleaners to allow those branches to reach upwards. Running out of space so I can't have them continue to branch out. June 17, 2019 - checked the growing medium and no water is needed today. Temps got pretty low in the shed (8 degrees Celsius) but she perks up as soon as she's brought outside.

Has anyone seen this in the gorilla auto? And is this advantageous for the plant?

I see this in the regulars I grow too on that first "complete" node between 5-7 points on the leaves. It's a genetic thing is the common answer I hear, not sure I would call it advantageous, but more won't hurt at this point. It's not a problem either. In my hydro setup the first few nodes will come out a little odd looking as it's growing so fast.

@HolySmoke, Thanks for the point. I grow a bit different, so maybe someone with more auto experience will stop in, but it's just a genetic thing seen in many strains auto or photo. Not good or bad just how it grew. It's looking like a good start!

Thanks, I've liked what I've seen thus far from other diaries and look forward to it. Yes, this is my first grow and I've educated myself a little bit prior to starting. I'm welcome to suggestions though considering this is my first kick of the can.

My advice would be to follow the basics, ph the water, decrease the humidity and temperature a little bit every week, don't overfeed, don't overwater. But overall enjoy and learn with every step, let me know if you are running into issues and need support.

HolySmokecommentedweek 76 years ago
Thanks man, I did use a bunch of LST during this grow but tried to stay away from messing with the main stem too much. If I didn't do it right I wanted to ensure that the main cola still produced. Your plant still has alot of growing to do. From what I've seen of that strain it's a beast. I'll be following along tho!

Your plant is looking amazing. I'm at near the same age and yours dwarfs mine. This is my first grow and I used LST on my plant but after seeing yours I may go all natural on my next run. Happy growing ✌️👊

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Figured it was something genetic but wanted to have some input from some more experienced growers. Wasn't concerned or anything just found it interesting.
