Gave her for the first time some roots enhancer with a tiny bit of silicic acid (silica) she seems to like it so far. As you can see at her very last day of the second week I start with a light feed of nutrients I gave her also some voodoo juice for the root zone.
3 days into the 3rd week and the snowball effect is getting on..the plant looks fairly healthy (imho) and grows vigorously speeding up the rate. The stem is thicker than few days ago as I expected..I probably gonna start a LST soon just to help her to get a bit more light on the sides cause I believe from now on we enter one of the most important moments of the cycle..last 2 weeks of Veg we build foundation for the final results..
Quick update: I broke my phone this week so i couldn't take any pic of my sexy beast but i'll get a new one soon so i will catch it back..i started a LST and she's ok with it...naughty lady )
Day 26 last week I did some LST unfortunately my phone was dead so I couldn’t document it, Basically I just kept her bending for a few days allowing the lower nodes to develop a bit more. Eva (she’s my first) seems to approach approach flowering time, I just can’t wait to see!! I took 2 leaf off from the top cause they were completely blocking light, those 3low steams I hope they gonna enjoy it more and I hope she won’t slow down for that! Day 28 🦍she’s in the transition phase so few days more there will be flowers there)
Entering the 5th week she began to flower also start to stretch out quite a bit , gave her an abundant ph water soak (no much leaks out) just to wash out salts accumulating around the root zone. In any way I’m love with this beast guys.
Day 35 end of the 1st week flowering, just gave her a good juice feed to make sure she's gonna have nutrients now that she's going into this important phase, i also have installed 4 CFL (30w) by the sides to help the lower steams and compensate the lack of red spectrum in my LED light..so far so good
Week 6 day 39 I had a couple of problems this week due the fact that I didn’t have a timer for the CFL so basically one night those two lamps they didn’t get off. The plant seemed confused for a day, she went a bit droopy and looked tired also the tips of the younger leaves twisted (I’ve researched about and found any kinds of theory but I’ve seen some other gorilla showing the same behavior). I moved the lights a bit away and I water her only with some ph and silicic acid to help recovering, she picked up again and the twist as I’ve seen in others Gorilla seems to go by itself when the leaf grows so doesn’t look like a major problem. Fixed the timer shit also, of course, hopefully from now on I won’t do more bs!)
I'm sorry for the pics but i don't want to turn the lights off and now with both purple led and cfl is a mess to see proper colors even with green lens.
Hope you guys understand;)
I fucked it up!! I believe I gave her too much potassium just too early on the flowering and that caused a ph shift in the soil I think going pretty acidic that caused few different deficiencies in the plant!Upper sweet leaves were droopy but the steams pretty stiff and lower fan leaves completely ok but the flowers stop growing (pics are from 3 days ago) I flushed the pot with ph water and let the soil dry up. Now she’s perking up again after a very light feed but the leaves on tops looks burned and shows the deficiencies she went through! Shame on me!! Unfortunately at these point quality and yield is compromised but I’m curious to see how she will go in the coming 2 week
After all the issues i had in the past two week i've got back the PH in the soil and i believe now is on spot, the plant still shows all the signs of the struggles and deficiencies caused by too much nutrients specially potassium so most of the leaves has spots and the lower fan are yellowing. Anyway the good news is that after the flush the plant react well even the damage seems substantial i cut back on the nuts and she slowly start to feed again. For some reason i think she over branched or maybe it's just the reaction of LST but she's way bigger than the plant that dinafem shows on the site and for the same reason i snipped out some of the lower tiny bud sites to push the focus on the top side.
A few days ago I decreased the lights form 20 to 18 to kind of giving her a shake and i think it work cause the calyxes swollen a little the day after presumingly speeding up the process
Day 57 she should be ready 75 days after germination but shes so big therefore I think we gonna go 2 weeks further maybe 3)
Day 63 as I said the plant is very big and slowly growing up, I’m not sure what to expect but I’m curious to see
Day 80..i start flushing with only Ph water since i believe i entered the final two weeks, buds are swelling up nicely getting covered by trichomes , i suppose i will chop her down around day 93/95...)))
Day 85 I’ve flushed for the second and last time, from now on I’ll wait for those last white pistils to turn dark then harvest, buds smells good something like sweet citrus and diesel
After 1 week of curing the jars start to smell so good, the weedy scents is almost gone and that petrol smell is growing still is dominantly fruity..the taste is also growing..pretty sweet no harsh at all, a little earthy which I like it. The high is still not so strong physically but quite intense cerebrally, leaves me light in the head and happy. Love it
I’m very happy about the final result I harvested more than 90gr from 1 plant and this is my first grow. I made some mistakes during the first stage of flowering that fucked some stuff in the metabolism of the plant but she kept growing and growing at the end I had a bush beautiful bush..buds are not as I wished but this is my fault if I didn’t used much nutrients in the transition period I’m sure she would have absolutely no problems. Congrats to Dinafem this is an awesome plant and I’m gonna growing it again. Thanks everybody for the support
Really pleased to see another grow with our recently released beast known as Gorilla 🦍in autoflowering form 🤗
She looks happy and health at this young stage my friend 👍
Let's see what you can do with this recently released AutoDinafem strain 👌
So far I like what I see 👊
All the best ✌️
Mark..
@DinafemSeeds, thanks Mark yeah you’re right she’s an absolute beast 🦍 I’m a little surprised too how well is going cause it’s my first grow she’s really beautiful to watch and I’m so excited to see the final results my friend!! 🤞keep them crossed
@Shoryuken, You are going to do great my friend 👍
Your at day 24 now and we love what we see so far 🤗
Really impressive vegative growth and the time is coming for this autoflowering beast 🦍to enter bloom 👍
Get ready things are about to get real interesting and fast 🤗
All the best ✌️
Mark..
Really nice grow you got
Going!!! Keep up the good work!! 🚀
What type and how many watts or model are the hanging lights you have? I am thinking of adding something similar and don’t know what to go with.
Cheers and happy growing!!!
@Shoryuken, i ended up finding a 200w blackdog LED Light for cheap and dicided to add it to my 4x8 tent. It covers only 3x3 but i really see a huge difference already in 3 days in the size of the buds. I’m now running the 2 viparspectras 900w and the BlackDog 200w.
@BIGBUDZ450,I think they like cfl since they’re a little away from the middle of the spectrum where you have some intensity, notice in the pics that side buds are as big if not bigger than the ones in the centre, I’ve seen people growing crazy stuff under cfl that I barely believe it, still may gonna get one more of those led to fill the entire box for next grow
Beautiful work with our Auto Gorilla🦍 mate 👍
Entering week 10, the leaves are starting to fade so harvest is not to far away 🤗
Looking great in here 👊
All the best ✌️
Mark..
