@NASATrainer, they sure can take the stress. this strain is great for a first grow. i have ironed out so many things for moving forward. I did an hour of trimming this morning just to open it up a little more. it is sooooo crowded in there. once i was finished, all uncovered skin was sticky as heck. still can't get it to wash off completely. the smell is fantastic though! 😂

Seedlings look good. 😁👍🏼 A question if I may please. How many plants are you keeping/growing? ✌️🏼😎

@Cpt_Gregorovich That's why I bred it with Landrace Sativa(Thai Stick). I hope it is racier than the Gorilla Girl. The Thai is so racy my biking partner called it performance weed. He claims to ride an extra 20% when zapped by the Thai.

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, sorry for the late reply. i could have sworn i did all ready but it doesn't appear so on here any longer. thank you for the like and comment! i'm keeping all 8 at this point. the smallest one likely won't get topped as much, if at all, in order for it to catch up with the remaining plants a little.

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, thank you for the comment. your plant looks beautiful! i have at least 2 different phenotypes. #3 appears to be completely different. longer slender leaves - i'm actually really excited about that one in particular. maybe a little racier high.

I would take most of the leaves off at this point. One Gorilla Girl I grew reacted harshly to me defoliating too much. I also underestimated the growth previously with this strain, stretched like crazy, right into the lights. Great strain!

@Cpt_Gregorovich, If you want to grow Thai check out World of Seeds. Amazing genetics! If you drop 4 or 5 seeds and do the grow then you will find out this is a very slow starting monster. I've found 3 phenos in 15 plants. 60 % are this large growing pheno that sports giant white hair white frosted oily buds. 35 % are of a pheno that the bud hairs turn brown and the plant growth is medium. These buds have more small leaves that are impossible to trim, then they get frosted dark. The there is this one little super stunted growth plant that grows buds with dark hairs and this one is a horrible plant to grow. Super Super minature Sative that refuses to grow. In great conditions will produce 20 grams in a 24 week grow cycle, are you kidding me! So although the strain is not totally stabilized it's really Thai and it's a pure Sativa with up to 22% THC.

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@SativaKid, i have started a propagation tent and will be going from clones from here out. lucky you on the landrace thai! good luck with your breeding! i'm reading up on breeding cannabis as well. eventually i'll have the space to begin that as well. understand on the defoliation causing stretch, i've been more careful about how much i lop off as the first major cut pushed the plant above the lights...

SativaKidcommented5 years ago

@Cpt_Gregorovich, On 1 plant at 3 weeks I lopped off the two tallest buds, now how crazy was that. The other one I didn't defoliate so it stretched about 3 inches less, then at like week 7 when the stretch was over. I grew two clones from these, one in flower right now and one got placed in the no tell motel with a real Landrace Thai. Offspring are amazing me, I believe this was a real lucky guess. I got like 125 beans, more than an ample supply.

@Cpt_Gregorovich, I performed continuous trimming as I saw fit after week 3. She is super resilient as you already know and can take the stress.

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, thank you! it appears to be going gangbusters at this point. quickly running out of any space in the tent. 8 plants this way seems to be a couple too many. the flowers are starting to bulk up and connect. its so much fun to watch.😀

Sweet_Seedscommentedweek 135 years ago

Amazing! Super frosting! 😍 Lucky! I see that you have achieved a good phenotype. 😜 Keep it up! You're doing it right. Sweet smokes! -Apolo

@Sweet_Seeds, Thank you! i can't move in there without my arms getting covered in sticky.

KingQushcommentedweek 125 years ago

Hey nice grow man looking great👌. i see you are using Heavy 16 how would u rate them? i ask as i am thinking of switching from Advanced to Heavy 16

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@KingQush, i'm having great success so far with Heavy 16. it needs to be used exactly as the directions say. the plants have been extremely receptive. which is great as there are a few different phenotypes in there it appears. i've gone through nearly 1 gallon of of both bud a and bud b in only 4 weeks. maybe that is just this strain. i don't have any experience to go off of to say its if more bang for buck. I am extremely satisfied with the results so far. ease of use is off the charts. the foliar spray is no joke. visible difference in only 1 day after first use.

@Cpt_Gregorovich Hello I answered your question regarding defoliation Check it out above and good luck

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@DILLIGAF, thank you! i read up on it a little bit as well. the literature i read stated that it would be good to do two big defoliations during flower. once right before flowering, and once again at around 4 weeks. the act of cutting off the lower leaves pushes hormones up the plant increasing bud size and potency. the air part you stated was great and matches as well. the light penetration seems pretty good even though i am using LEDs.

Your leaves have a more Indica lean on it than mine--fingers are rounder and fatter. Can't wait for the US to legalize in all states so we can send our nuggets for comparison. 2050?

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, there were some very large differences between the leaves early on. they all appear to be very similar now though. agreed on legalization. id say earlier than 2050 - i'd be surprised if it took longer than 10 more years.

Hi! Nice choice of strain, im currently growing the same strain in organic living soil to get maximum taste out of my flower. What do you think of growing this strain so far? Has it been without problems or have you encountered some issues with the strain in particular? Anyway, have a great day and happy growing. 😎 🌱

Cpt_Gregorovichcommentedweek 45 years ago

well... got a little impatient today messing around with the topped plant. #9 i believe. i broke a leaf. Damn damn damn. doing well otherwise. showing two new growth tips all ready. huge root system on this one - should be ok despite missing a fan leaf :(

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, it was my fastest grower at the time - really bummed me out. glad to hear it worked out. it appears just like your saying right now. i'm going to cut that leaf off in another day or so.

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@Cpt_Gregorovich, Same thing happened to mine at the same stage while I was training. The side with the fan leaf grew faster and longer. Naturally, the side without grew shorter and thicker.

Sativa4lifecommentedweek 145 years ago

Give us an update!!

SativaKidcommentedweek 135 years ago

You will get a monster haul. These buds could add 2 inches

SativaKidcommentedweek 85 years ago

This is a super strain and you are proving it. Those buds are turning into flypaper buds. Nice grow!

SativaKidcommentedweek 115 years ago

If you defoliate now they will stretch even more, wait about 8-10 days then half defoliate. Then defoliate again in a week. This will minimize your stretch with this monster growing strain.

NASATrainercommentedweek 65 years ago

That's funny, I also smoked some Gorilla Cookies while growing my Gorilla Girl. 😂 Anything with thin mints in it is going to be a heavy hitter, despite the sativa veil.
