Week 9 Flower
Sorry for the late update guys, I'm sure you'll understand when I say Christmas was a hectic time! I also like to update my diaries together so I was waiting for all but the MasterKush to come down.
The Royal Gorilla was first to get the chop. She faded extremely well and was taken down on Day 63. She was given a wet trim because I like my bubble hash, and this girl should be perfect for it as her trim is ridiculously frosty! All of her buds are fat, frosty and looking nice! I definitely want this girl to be a regular in my garden, that's for sure! I also hadn't noticed when she was in the tent but her buds have taken on a nice purple tone, which was a bit unexpectedbut a nice surprise haha.
Thanks for following this run and sharing the love and commenting, it's always appreciated βοΈπΊ
I'll be doing the harvest update as soon as they're all ready for jars π
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
