26 Gorilla Cookies Fast

Northern_Ent May 2 Day 1: seedlings now above soil and being exposed to light. Starting them in peat pots. May 6 Day 5: looking good. Raised soil level to support leggy seedlings. Doing great.

Northern_Ent May 10 Day 9: Gorilla Cookies Fast is the most vigorous of the seedlings this year. Fast Buds consistently wins on strong germination at lowish temperatures. Filled 7 gallon soil bags using a ‘ring’ or donut of spruce cones at bottom of the grow bag. Did a single wedge last year but roots obviously preferred the air exposure so doing the whole bottom edge this time. Soil is mostly recycled from last year. Mixed in wheelbarrow with addition of peat and compost, some (5 tbps?) Azomite, 3 tbsp of Extreme Blend and 3 tbsp of about six year old Myco Grow (oh well, seems fine).

Northern_Ent May 16 Day 15: looking good indoors waiting for the weather to improve.

Northern_Ent May 23 Day 22: transplant day. Soaked peat pot briefly before tearing off the bottom and some of the side and then planting a bit high in the soil level. Regular water misting to compensate for very low humidity that we get here. May 26 Day 25: made a lazy compost tea today. Started at 8 am using 5 gallon pail filled with water and some compost, coco coir, Monster Maxx, molasses, and a tsp each of Extreme Blend and Soluble seaweed extract. In other words, good stuff that I had around. Called it ready after only 8 hours just cuz. Watered all my yard including around the edges of the cannabis grow bags. May 27: foliar spray in morning with Extreme Blend. Good stuff and highly recommended. Also misting leaves periodically with water sprayer to make up for low humidity here. May 28: watered with some fish fertilizer dregs left from last year.

Northern_Ent May 30 Day 29: Gorilla Cookies Fast is doing fine. Will soon reach five nodes which is when it will be topped for first time on the way to forming a 16 cola manifold. May 31 Day 30: rain day and cool at about 10 C. Two more days like this and then back to normal weather. June 4: stopped raining but still cool. This plant is still growing nicely despite the cool weather.

Northern_Ent June 6 Day 36: last week was cool and rainy but growth will pickup here soon with warmer temperatures and direct sunlight. Will top it tomorrow to start the manifold. This will be a 16 cola manifold. June 8 Day 37: plant had five nodes and I topped it back to third node and then removed lower growth tips and small leaves. This is the first of four rounds of topping needed to get 16 colas.
