Late updating as I've been away for a week but before I did, the girls were given a couple higher dosage feedings and the main stem was LST'd down to encourage the lower growth to shoot up and start making a nice canopy. This girl was LST'd a few days after the other plants as by want the happiest of the bunch. Since these photos, I have added another string towards the Base of the plant, pulling in the opposite direction to the one above to maintain a nice straight stem at the Base. It's important not to cause stress on the roots when LST'ing.
The next week will be updated in only a couple of days as I'm late posting this week's diary.
I'll also be adding Mammoth P to my feeding schedule starting late into week 6.
Thanks for looking/following πΊ
I stop Cal and Mag at day 35-40 otherwise they'll be hard to flush and she won't get a proper fade on through a 2 week flush. Silicon is only a supplement so not needed throughout the second half of flower, I know some people don't even use it during flower. Silicon is the hardest to flush out, that's why I stop it on Day 28 ππΊ
@biggreens420, that's fair enough. Personally I've not had any issues with it apart from having to wipe off the dried silicon on the top of the bottle lol. I still use it in flower but stop feeding 3-4weeks before harvest as it takes a little longer to flush out than other nutrients πΊ
@TheFoxFarmer,yeah I do but I dont like the stuff its in some of my grows and it definitely helps with flexibility but I try to put the least in chemical wise and its horrible to use gunks everything up lol and when I use it I take it out in flower
@biggreens420, definitely mate. The first thing I noticed was it's thick stems and it's not as easy to bend as most other strains I've grown. That's why I've just been bending her down once or twice a day rather than tie her down. It doesn't do quite as good of a job as tying but it's shaped her enough and let in a lot more light for her lower nodes to catch up. I think I would have cloned it too mate to be honest, rather than messing around trying to fix it lol hope all goes well with it bro π I'm not sure if you do already, but if you like to LST, silica is a gread thing to add to your feed. It makes them a lot easier to bend and shape without snapping. I use Growth Technology Liquid Silicon as it's a potassium silicate but there's many others lol πΊ
Cheers @biggreens420 π oh no that's a shame man, I hope they get to you asap! She's a beauty. All round she's pretty much a perfect plant lol βοΈπ₯πΊ
Hahaha.... I know this is an older Diary but I was reading solid diaries for my grow I have going, stumbled upon this one and couldn't help but laugh because I did the EXACT same thing with my extension cord red/green light for a few weeks, unfortunately I got 3-4 hermies . I'm glad I'm not the only one, god bless! gnarly looking outcome on this one, well done sir.
@UpnUp, π oh yes.. It's a mistake that can easily be done no matter how much experience someone has! π can't let these things slip though! βοΈπ¦
Awesome, all of your 4 diaries... You documented it very well ! and your girls were very healthy...
I am really wondering if i will grow a RoyalGorilla too, and you gave me a very good perspective of this strain!! Sure ill be following your work here
Congrats for this run and keep on growing mate!! π
Cheers @Ageddd, I appreciate it mate. I'm glad it's of help to you, that makes it all worth it π I'll look forward to seeing you run her too, she's a beauty! βοΈπ₯πΊ
Haha thanks @Herbalize, but don't worry, I'm a patient guy when it comes to flushing. I'm not afraid to go for a 3 week flush if I feel I need to, but these girls look like they'll finish on time πΊ
