LemonCherryGelato / Gorilla Punch Auto

Huntablunt Here me grow again............Welcome and greetings!!! So, after about a year of thinking about growing the LCG from Barney, its finally happening. And I can tell you folks, my guts say they will turn out amazing!! Not being willing to wait any longer I decided.........You know what, why not let the LCG germinate together with the gorilla punch?? Should I finish the gorilla punch with 12 hours of light, so I can send the gelato into blooming after maybe 5 weeks???? HELL NO!!!!!!!! Why not finish the gorilla punch with 18/6 and TTHEN send the Gelato into blooming, after some lovely 10 weeks of vegetation:) Might this be a problem concerning the height??? Might be, so it would just take some more work I guess to bend them, top them etc. I did not take pictures from the plants in the first week/started the diary with germination, so the diary is starting arround week 6. As always, I put the seeds into soil, water it, and let it germinate like mother nature intended them too. As always, germination rate is 100%, so I would recommend this bulletproof method to everybody. The plants are doing absolutely fine, no problems at all. This diary starts, whith plants being in week 6 from germination, so since I am not sure which photos were taken in which week, I just send a bunch of photos and then kepp the report uptaded weekly. Unfortunately it is not possible to edit the diary weeks, at least I dont know how this would be........please keep that in mind when reading this diary, so you are not confused.

Huntablunt So, now it is week 6 and the Gorillas started to bloom. I did notice that some of the photos are not in order.........but I just wanted to show you some lovely pictures of what happened so far, without me taking hours to sort them:) From next update on, everything will be in chronological order. 2 phenos will most likely turn out green, the other one already shows dark purple tones and wight look alike the purple pheno from the strawberry gorilla from the last grow. This time, I decided to give them smaller pots. I did this for 2 reasons......First of all I didnt have enough soil and didnt want to wait, not even 2 days:) The other reason is, I wanted to see the difference in result, comparing to the larger pots I used before. I guess there will be a big difference in yield, but who knows........ So far everything worked easy, only that I did damage two of the gelatos lower branches........but I guess thats ok, because they are about to be a long time in vegetation, so....... Concerning beauty in growth, I like the gelato in the back the most. She looks just so evenly, just stunning. If it comes to the gorillas, its the purple pheno that looks the most gorgeous to me.

Huntablunt So, here we are up to date, june 3rd in the beginning of week 6. What I could notice is, the gorillas demand lots of nutrients now. So I will adjust a bit quicker. Looking at the gelatos, they would like some more nitrogen and I guess, I also am thinking about giving them larger pots, but not sure yet.

Huntablunt High guys...... Its start of another week, and so here are some pictures. I „day by day“ took off some leaves here and there from the gelatos, to let light in and allow better windflow. I also train them daily and bend the branches down as much as I can or it make sense, so the smaller sidebranches can develop further. My plan is keep on doing that, so the plants will extend to left and right, so in the end the entire space of the tent is filled.Also I want to keep them as small as possible for as long as possible, since they still be vegging for at least 4 weeks. If they stay small enough I can let them just stretch once blooming, without having to bother about the height. And in a week or 2 I guesss I give them the larger pots, so they still have enough time to use that space before bloom. The Gorilla punch develops and I am curious how looks/smell/taste turn out. Dont think they will still show me different, but I will never grow autos again in 11L pots. So far it makes the impression that giving them 20 insteas of 11L makes a huge difference. Once I saw the leaves changing I first increased CalMag and Grow and observed. Then decided to increase again, this time even a bit more and now, it looks like the ammount is good for the gelatos, where as I am not quite sure with the gorillas. Thing is, that the purple pheno is the most generous, just grows and doesnt seem to demmand much. Whereas the 2 green phenos seem to be needing lots more nutrients. One of the gorillas was topped like the gelatos and, suprisingly to me, seems to react very well to that. The Gelato are approximately 25-30cm tall, 2 gorilla have 50cm, the other one i smaller, about 40cm. When I look into my tent, I always like watching the plants closely and imagine their further growth and appearance. And I am SO ANTIPATING flowering of the gelatos even though I will have some problems with space I guess,lol. You can see they already fill almot the entire tent in depth and if I see all those still tiny sidebranches and imagine them in late bloom – I might hope for a nice see of green.
