Diaries of GatorUp

GatorUp LST w/ brackets and wire tie downs Nutrients at 750ppm , Ph 5.7 Set in hydro buckets DWC system

GatorUp Placed in their final position to grow out. Bump nutes 550ppm, and run HydroGuard within my chemistry. Light sitting at 55% w/ sub.lighting Deep Red , Blue 30 running on main light schedule and ,Blue UV 10min every hour , Far red 15min before the main lights turn on and 15min after they turn off. Main light 4800 EVO Samsung chip ,

GatorUp Moving along nothing changed in process.

GatorUp Started LST , starting with a large pull down of the main shoot pulling crown 90° over with brackets on perimeter branches as they grow at length. No changes in chemistry / ppm. Turning water/ chemistry over every 5 days

GatorUp Maintain grow and LST as needed

GatorUp Maintain grow and LST as needed , chemistry 550ppm

GatorUp Maintain grow and LST as needed , chemistry 550ppm

GatorUp About to flip to flower added silica to my chemistry.

GatorUp Switch to Flower chemistry 1150ppm , continue LST as branches grow out. Add CO2 bags 800ppm

GatorUp Flowers popping, maintain w/ LST on needed limps, pushing along

GatorUp Pushing hard , add a 2nd 4800 EVO before they become unavailable w/ new Mars Hydro ADlite system that include Blue30 fixtures. Poppin like crazy now.

GatorUp They are moving right along

GatorUp Lights turned up to 80% since week 12. Adding TPS’s Signal bloom boost😉. Evening temp dropped to 68°. I defoliate on a day to day basis. Along with cutting less active limbs. I also did a root flush just to be sure sediments don’t build up on the roots. RO water PH 6.4 roots are submerged for approximately 15-20 min in a separate bucket. I do this during my water changes first flush when switching from veg - flower. And a 2nd time at mid flower.

GatorUp Moving fast , signs of white tipping in play , flowers stacking. Fullgas showing colors , Lemon Cheese on the turn as well

GatorUp —

GatorUp Nearing the end. Dropped nutrients 1000ppm , stop bloom boost.

GatorUp The clock is winding down. Drinking 3/4gal per day. Aroma is off the change. PH in full swing. Holding 6.1 in morning when filling from over night drinking

GatorUp Their last dance my friends, or whom ever tripped across this grow. It was fun growing these two strains. From 2005-11 , I enjoyed judges’ credentials at High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. I was fortunate enough to sit in private seminars with Arjan , Franco himself along with Soma. It’s more of an honor to run these strains and take on their challenge. Not the hardest to grow either. Even using silica at 3ml per gallon I still had to wire up most every branch and some off branches as well. In one defol session I kept a few clipping and produced 3 clones potted in a 12gal pot w/ FoxFarm Happy Frog soil.

GatorUp Will complete shortly
