This week I saw a lot of growth, I tied her down and started going heavier on the defoliation. She started drinking a bit more.
I did give her a feed of some organic powder this old lady made for me! Very light dosage!
She was recovering very fast and weβll from defoliation - impressed with the daily progress π±
Some beautiful buds you got there. Gorilla glue is a lovely strain and cant go wrong with fast buds. But your doing an amazing job with these ladies. Some lovely color I dont usually see on GG. Keep doing what your doing and beat of luck the rest of the way.
@Zollies_zn, the color could be either. But generally even if the color is in the genetics it takes certain environmental conditions to bring them to their fullest. For example purple's are expressed more vibrantly when grown in lower temps. But the genetics need to have a purple characteristic in them at first. If it's not a purple genetic no matter how cold it'll still be green. So long story short it's part the pheno and part your solid environmental conditions. Hope this helped a little
@Denzul, thank you kindly Good Sirππ I appreciate the input! Is the colour from environment or maybe pheno?
Thank you, letβs see how it goes till the end, I appreciate the luck, holding thumbs βοΈπ¬π±
Looking good Zollies......and as you mentioned we're at a similar stage of life. Could be helpful! π
Mine are drinking plenty too - have upped the Bloom to 2.5 ml per l at day 48 with Grow at 1 ml - you make me question if I ought to be using more?!?
@Zollies_zn, I am glad to see your GG is growing nice. my friend just grew 3 autos, all fast bud seeds I gave him out doors. All are tiny plants. maybe 18" tall. I am used to much bigger ones growing. I saw your post to me but could not see where to reply. You mentioned the more light for these. I have tried a 14/10 to a 18/6 my self. my plants need the dark time. The only time they seem to do better with the 18/6 for me is in late flower. tightens the buds up nice. Other than that. I run a 14/10
I am looking forward to watching this girl here finish. You are doing a great job π
@mr_h_kovert,thank you very much man! And that we are!
Look, this is my first time using nutrients so yeah. But my philosophy is that if the plants donβt look like they need it then they probably donβt! Less is more. Although I am feeding bloom nutes this time to see how it affects yields - and itβs organic!
Iβm not sure how exactly this diary works out dosage of feed, but I only fed twice during the week at 10mls each - so 20mls for the week. Where as youβll be feeding 17.5ml a week of bloom with 7ml of grow! So weβre actually pretty similar π just different in how we feed - yours most likely is more efficient and less waste - who knows I am new to this!
Now I need to work out how to Input the data here properlyπ€£
@leitogrowARG,
Hi there! So Iβm going to answer this in parts;
1) generally during flowering one will remove any leaves blocking light from reaching the bud sites - you want direct light on them;
2) during vegetation I aim to remove leaves on the lowers as well as any bud sites which are unlikely to develop - this is to focus grown towards the main colas. I also remove fan leaves to increase airflow around the plant to reduce the risk of mold and pests.
If the plant responds well to minor defoliation during veg stage then I will defoliate as I tie branches down - here I pick off any fan leaves which cover future bud sites, this allows for a more even canopy. If you donβt, youβll see that some branches will grow more than others and shade out the lowers.
BUT on this grow, if you read back, I had a slight issue with PM - so I basically took off every fan leaf on the plant during the last stages of flowering - I donβt think it hurt my yield!
This girl was defoliate heavily throughout the grow and responded very well - so I went heavy.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions!
@illumenati, thanks growmie! I appreciate it π sheβs looking like a solid strain so far, I have been impressed! I appreciate you stopping by βοΈ
Those buds look amazing, well done dude! And great yield for your first plant, I would be super happy with that! My GG sprouted yesterday, hope it turns into something similar! Enjoy!!
@DoobieBrother01, shot brother! I was very pleased with the quantity and quality of this plantπ± what a pleasure she was to grow! I have no doubt you will enjoy growing her ππ thanks for stopping by!
@Shinsimilla, thanks very much! I myself am looking forward to shhhmoking this baby!π
Awesome stuff, with tender love and care (and sometimes some tough love, like tying her downπ π) Iβm sure youβll get lovey results!
Iβll definitely check your grows out!
@mr_h_kovert, thank you very much Good Sir π I must say I was very pleased with the results and the genetics - this wasnβt my first form start to finish indoor plant and this strain made it super easy ππ₯
mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm. Looking very appetising indeed Z Man and the frost is increasing too! She's also developing some lovely colours - gotta be happy with that bro?! πππ
@mr_h_kovert, why thank you good Sir ππ
I must say I am very happy with her! Just chopped her down and am in trim jail π€£πββοΈπΌ
Thank you very much for stopping by βοΈ
