Gorilla Melon Outdoor Grow

grimm420 Week 1 as a seedling.

grimm420 Week 2! It’s been sunny all week with 80 degree weather, a bit windy but nothing crazy. I’m giving less than half a liter of r.o water every two days.

grimm420 Starting to see growth, classic gorilla fan leaves, won’t feed it till probably week 5. Weather is great (kinda.. stupid wind), letting nature take care of my plants. So far I’ve been doing well with keeping pests out 👍🏽

grimm420 Might top or fim soon, no nutes just yet and I see the main stem getting some girth!! 🍆 this plant is really thirsty compared to my other strains.

grimm420 Topped earlier this week, starting to get bushy, uhh still won’t add any nutes till a couple more weeks, she’s taking about a gallon, twice a week. Probably the most vigorous out of all my plants! (Damn I love those leaves..)🍁

grimm420 Haven’t really mentioned it but I defoliated all of the bottom leaves, they were damaged and fuck itt. No nutes yet, growing bushy which I like. Fan leaves are bigger than my hands open!

grimm420 YEEAH BOIII!!! Gorilla melon is a damn tank!!! 90 degree heat during the day and cold 60 degree wind at night! Drinking tap water like it ain’t no thang 😎 and no nutes yet!!! And didn’t even flinch when I topped it. That’s some gangster shit right there.

grimm420 Wasn’t gunna update much until I said fuck it and began defoliating. Aaand my dumbass halfway snapped a big stem. It can still stand by itself but this wind gets crazy sometimes, don’t wanna risk wasting time and dedication. Tied it up rq.

grimm420 Looking really lush! Growing more leaves and noticed it’s 2 out of 5 that havnt flowered yet, my fastbuds ff plant and two brothers grimm plants are showing pistils now, i will be introducing a new fertilizer, something somewhat organic and filled with microbes to help liven my soil! Smells like dog though 😷 1st time using! The reason I’m feeding it flowering nutes now is because you’re supposed to feed this in advance so the microbes can activate and begin breaking down nutes! I’m kinda guessing this plant won’t be long until I start seeing pistils!

grimm420 Uh oh, she’s beginning to look bushy, might need to defoliate or lolipop once she begins to flower. So far, super healthy, except bugs eating the bottom leaves 😔. No worries, it’s gunna get pulled off anyways.

grimm420 Don’t forget to trim the bushh. Got me thinking bout defoliating. Excited to see these bloom!

grimm420 She’s getting too tall 😅 and she still has a few more weeks of veg, thankfully I have a little more space to hide them from neighbors! I wonder how much more explosive the flowering will be! And will have to do something about these mites mann, they’re driving me crazyyyyy. But I gotta work with what I got for now.

grimm420 It’s just one giant bush for now 😎 was thinking about topping and getting some clones but never got around to getting a cloner and all that. So I’ll just let her grow and hope I get to reveg. Nice melon smell when you touch the stem, super resilient, can’t wait to see it bloom!

grimm420 She’s growing bits here and there, probably the slowest out of all but no worries!! Just watching her grow!

grimm420 She hasn’t budged, she continues to stretch, defoliated her one last time before she begins to flower. It’s a game of patience!

grimm420 I’ve been waiting for this one to bloom! 🤩 Tell me why I feel like I got another freebie otw soon! Super tall and bushy 🔥

grimm420 This one stretched like a mf 😂😅 I wasn’t ready for it, neither the leaf growth but no worries. To me it smells like melon peel and something earthy, budsites looking good for now!

grimm420 Daaaamn I didn’t know Gorilla Melon had a pink/purple pistol pheno, that’s beautiful. It was a freebie too that’s wild! Will try to preserve this plant after harvest, so far it’s beautiful!

grimm420 Seeing alot of pink/purple! That’s a 1st for me lol. Looks beautiful. Uhh she might take 1 more feed of bloom fertilizer soon. But that’s it, so far she’s tall, bushy, and colorful. It rained last night but I just shook off all the water.

grimm420 Getting closer to the finish line! Did 1 more feed of flower fertilizer, so many budsites and filled with frost!!! Leaves wither little by little, so far the plant seems thriving. And I noticed that pests (hornworms to be exact) don’t like THIS plant? Looking forward to the bulking phase of this plant

grimm420 Gave 1 last feed, colas are getting thicker and frostier, main colas are showing purple pistils. I pluck off fan leaves as they wilt, seems like a healthy plant! (Pests seem to not like this plant) got a few more weeks to go!

grimm420 She’s almost there, fucking caterpillars got to this one too ❤️‍? constantly observing them, already saw 3 8ths worth of damage! But damn, looks like it’s gunna be dank! Only watering every 2 days now. Yikes, I might have to chop a bit early at week 7-8, I keep seeing big chunks but no caterpillars, fuck this shittt.

grimm420 She ain’t pretty no more 😢 but bag appeal is not of importance! I want to see how potent it is! Will cut off all the damaged nugs and start drying all the good ones! Might harvest now or let it riide!
