Day 1
Decided to germ these two little girls today.
19/07
Day 2
Guys girls out cookie has popped out already! Good sign for that one perhaps 😜
20/07
Day3
Both popped! How unbelievably quick! Very good sign!
I've had 100% germination with all my seeds!
21/07
Day 4
Both seeds begin their journey
22/07
Day 5
Both have popped out, one seed still waiting to see leaves though. Still impressed with the quick growth!
As soon as I see rapid growth I'll place into larger pots probably at two weeks (14days)or so.
Going to run these ones on 24 hour light as experiment.
24/07
Day 7
Gently removed the seed husk from ggg2. Hopefully she didn't mind.
26/07
Day 8
Moved into their final homes, excited to see these bad boys grow!
Going to lst one and attempt a mainline on the healthiest one, would like to let them go all natural but I know if they get up to 90cm I'm in trouble.
2/08
Day 16
Just watered these babies tonight, With root juice.
They seem to be quite slow growers but maybe that will change.
5.08
Day 19
Grown a bit since I last checked but still quite small!
7.08
Day 21
last day off the week
Topped and trimmed
11.08
Day 25
Fed last night with first batch of nutrients. Already looks like it's enjoying the feed.
Mainlining /flux seems to be working well!
Any advice on this is welcome as it is my first attempt at this technique!
14.08
Day 28
Gave her a second feed, seems to be enjoying it!
How's the flux going? Not too sure... I do have two tops at the moment...
15.08
Day 29
Either they've finally established a healthy root system or these two were just crying out for some feed! What a Difference a day has made!
16.08
Day 30
Well well 5 now on these gals.
I think the one plant I tried to flux is not working out.... I've split the main stem down the middle so I'm going to take the ties off and just stick to lst I think...any suggestions welcome?
The other one has 4 tops forming after I topped her, just going to train them out like I did with sour orange.
19.08
Day 33
Topped both tops again and now to let her do her thing. I will begin tying them as they stretch out.
Will water later on.
21.08
Day35
Start of week 5
Ggg1.
So the split stem doesn't seem to have cause any problems? So I have a few tops I'm just going to stay training them out as soon as I can. Should look cool.
Ggg2.
Now this bitch is a bush. I topped her and she has 4 tops in there and maybe 4 more hiding we will see but I bet next week is just gonna expload.
22.08
Day 36
Gave some plain water today and gentle lst. Both are looking great.
24.08
Day 38
Lst a little further as you can see in the pics.
26.08
Day 40
Took a couple of fan leaves off both plants. Opened up a few of the smaller stems, beginning to see pre flower. Started lightly with bloom nutes, Lets see what happens!
3108
Day 44
Watered with nutrients again this morning.
These are taking a long time in veg, must be all the stress I gave them. Hope it won't affect the yield at all?
My extractor fan broke so had to order another one, awaiting delivery.
2.09
Day 46
Watered both with nutes
Ggg1
Attempted mainlining, looks healthy, might defoliate a bit tonight.
Ggg2
Looking healthy but squat some of the lower leaves are dying off a bit. This one just doesn't seem to stretch yet.
02.09
Day 1 of flower
Ggg1
Is stretching nicely and the "flux" style training looks like it may have pulled off.
Ggg2
Took the ties off the tops for now and defoliated quite heavily. Hopefully this will stretch abit more.
4.09
Day 3
Gave plain water 6.5
6.09
Day 5
Ggg1 Stretching nicely now, both plants look super healthy.
Ggg2 going to have to defoliate again soon, this going to be compact.
8.09
Day 8 of flower
Light defoliation, stretching going well, raised the light a little.
11.09
Day 11 flower
Going to water again tonight.
12.09 day 12
Now these girls are looking lovely, not too sure how much more they'll stretch. Going to start reducing biogrow in the next feed. Did a bit of light lst mainly on ggg2 to open up the centre
14.09
Day 14
Last day for this week. Looking good, strong and healthy!, 🌱😊💪
17.09
Changed the nutrient schedule a bit. Watered today and yesterday. Photos are all from today.
Don't think their gonna stretch now now than this now.
20.09
Watered with new nutrient schedule again last night. Did a little lst today to fan them out a bit. Will take some photos later when lights come back on.
Watered again when lights came on, these girls are getting very thirsty indeed.
24.9
Start of week 4 flower
The girls just don't stop growing. Very thirsty these two now. watered with plain water.
25.09
Did a slight bit of defoliation and lollipopping. Also opened them up abit more, probs just going to leave them now. Will up the dose on the nutrients next feed and see how they take it (I think well) 🌱👍
26.09
Loving the training although a bit cramped in my tent....lol.
Upped the nute dose, they seem to be loving it still.
4.09
4 days into week 12.
Time to add big bud yet?
7.09
Day 35
Looking nice, smelling nice.
Will get some more photos later on
Ggg1 is the bulkier of the two but Ggg2 is already getting covered with resin!
15.09
Day 42
Looking very nice and trichy. Beginning to show its smell too. They both have quite a unique smell. One is very sweet and the other quite citrus.
17.09. These buds best soon fatten up! Going to keep increasing topmax, terp and Bigbud every feed until I see some change.
19.09
Took some close up shots of Ggg2.
Ggg2 looks ready to me. And if you look on krippling's website it looks alot like the image of Ggg3. Where as my previous grow of Ggg3 looks alot like their image of Ggg2.
Do you think there's been a mixup and my Ggg2 is actually Ggg3? and if that's the case I'd it nearly ready?
Hey man.
She takes quite a bit of time to ripen and doesn't really fatten up that much. The buds will be a bit more slender but dense once it's time to harvest. You can take a look at how I faired if you like.
I'd suggest waiting a week or two so the trichs turn a bit more amber.
Hope this helps
22.10
Day 49
Ggg1
Boosted the nutes a little will give this one a week or two maybe three.
Ggg2
Looking stunning at the moment, I don't think these buds are going to get much bigger but we'll see.
One branch broke off so will dry and test it.
Trichomes are about 50/50 cloudy/clear.
No more nutrients and just plain water from here on.
25.10
Day 52
Tried a sample of the buds that broke. It's delicious. Smells amazing and has a slightly spicy, sweet taste. You can taste as well the slight harshness of the nutrients and overdried/undercured but that's OK I am flushing her now.
Day 55
28.10
Both plants are showing signs of yellowing on leaves. The buds themselves look happy so I am not worried. Feed on Ggg1 as normal. Ggg2 molasses only.
Ggg2 is going to go one more week I think until choppy time.
Ggg1 is still producing lots of white hairs.
Not sure but think she might have some kinda defiency, there are small patches of purple on leaves around the buds but not enough to make me believe it's pheno or temperature related.....
29.10
Day 56
.... Or is it just the autumn colours coming out? Still no watering.
Didn't weight the wet trim again. Hung most of it up by the stem only removing the fan leaves and non sugar leaves. The little buds I trimmed and dried quicker.
Will update in a week or so when I have a dry weight and begin cure.
Probably could have gone another week but the sample buds were so delicious I though hey, let's take it down. Will take more pics when have time.
Wish the buds would have been a bit larger not sure if I could have done something to help that.... But the smell and rate is super! 🌱😁👌
38 grams in total. Not too bad, more would have been nice but this plant never looked like it was going to fill out. The roots looked quite small and brown when I took it out the soil....
31.10
Day 58
Watered with nutes, reduced the Bigbud a bit. Will cut it out next week. Still packing on weight this one!
3.11
Day 61
Watered only. Might start flush soon.
Did a bit of light defol. Buds are still swelling and throwing out white hairs.
6.11
Day 64
Flushed heavily.
11.11
Day 69
Added a picture of a bud that I pulled off, appeared burnt and dry. After taking it down the top of this bud was dry enough to grind and smoke. Had anyone had this before? The rest of the plant is still wet and plant like?

That Bud looks rotten...how was the Taste=?.... did not taste anything=?its also possible that the top branch had a crack and wasnt quite alive.... normally you see it in the structure of the bud ... if the stucture is strange and muddy you have budrot... if its dry and solid ( inside too) ther was acrack in the topbranch....and she dried. icant see it in the pictures
Not sure after some researching if parts of the plant were getting damp or mouldy or slight heat burn maybe? So decided to go ahead and chop her down, she has exceeded the breeders estimated time by many weeks. Smells gorgeous.
Haven't tasted yet.
Will update in a week or so with taste, dry weight and overall results.
11.11
Harvested entire plant, defoliated lightly and left to hang in my cupboard in cardboard box.
16.11
Finished drying and put into jars.
64grams of nugs.
Smoke report!
Very indica stone. Makes me relaxed and clumsy, very heavy on the eyes.
Smooth smoke, not to much flavour yet but smells nice, almost pineapple.
@Gr33nFi3ld thanks for the answer, do you think my plant is Ggg2 (gorilla infested Gelato) or is it Ggg3 (gelato cookie dhope) and I'm my previous grow was Ggg2? There isn't many images of these plants growing online. And still being a novice grower myself. Their similaraties are bleak.... If you know what I mean
@Gr33nFi3ld, I did check your grow out. And they do look very different, the smell is gorgeous though on the broke branch that's been drying for two days now. They are very small buds I wonder if she didn't like being topped early, maybe she would preferred the natural look?
@Fruitgrower, not a problem man. In all honesty I have no idea but compared to my GGG2 the buds on yours do look a bit different and leaning more towards short and stocky. It's kinda hard to tell for sure.
I would open the bud to see if the structure is changed if this is a solid well dried bud , the top of the branch sapped , cracked and she dried. Hoe didi the sugarleaves loklike ? wilted yellow.... ?dieing=? or just fdry
@mrs_larimar, I believe it may be heat stress off some kind. No mould was found. Some dead, dry and yellow leaves yes but this is not unusual for this stage of the grow.
I did smoke it, it had no taste and got me slightly high. It may have been like you said just not fully attached and not receiving nutrients from feeds. The sugar leaves, some of them were very yellow, very dry and weak. Anyway whole plant is chopped now, a little earlier than I wanted too but no sign of this anywhere else on the plant just a few dry, yellowy purple leaves here and there. Thankyou🌱😁Happy growing
@Baron_Von_Blurple, haha, love that comment 😂 apparently the gelato cookie do'hope which has recently been harvested was the smaller, Lower yielder of the 3. So yeah, very excited to see how different these two genetics will perform.
