About half way through flower, the plants all seem to be doing well and the Black Rhino has been propped up to create an even canopy. GG's internode spacing ranges from 1 to 1.75 inches per inter-node length. Mass is starting to show in the drooping of the colas and I will be applying a wide, non static cloth around the circumference to help hold it's form and weight.
As mentioned previously, all pictures after this point will be without the LED in operation to give a much clearer view. Thanks for looking at these pink monstrosities!!
To support the weight of my colas in the near future, I was planning on using a non static ribbon, but if there are ANY other better methods to reduce knocking the plants around please feel free to share. Thanks!
Yes there are I use plant yoyos cheap and won't hurt the plant. There are other options to like for instance a tell is good option, bamboo stakes, tomato rings and cages. Check out my last harvest I had plant yoyos.
"Survey Says!". Wrapping this grow up and germinating my new crop the same day as these girls get cut down (gotta keep it legalπ). My question is Blue cookies, fem or NL fem. If you've grown them please weigh in!!! I'm torn on what to pick, for reals.
I5s a question on how challenging you like it^^ and if you are a stativa or aindica person. Bluecookies May be more challenging/ ( blue family) but you will have a nice tasting harvest very fruity ( more sativa)..... Northern light is such agood to grow classy strain with more indica and a nice lemony smell and taste. I dont know which you choose both are great
Iam atm a big fan of the " blue Family".. ive grown the BlueDream, and starting blueberry cheescake today. But NL is such a nice Strain and easieset to grow. With a nice harvest
@JinksyGrows,taggin means just take an @ in frot of someones name and write it down your diry , his / her diary.... or in the comments anywhere....then i see that youve written something for me.. or just tell t to me per pm. you can read / write pm in looking at the right bottom of your screen there is a little " paperplane" ( under the arrow) just click on it and a private section opens, you see that you have messages if the paperlane is green( ive written yesterday a pm to you)
@Mrs_Larimar, No problem at all! And absolutely I'll tag you in my NL and Do Si Do grow...just as soon as I figure out how to do that, lol! Still haven't learned all this site has to offer, but I'll find out how to tag you and it would be a definite pleasure to include you on my future progress/grows. Thank you again for your support. It does mean the world to a lot of us newbies and we certainly need peoples like you to guide us! You're awesome!βπ
P.S. Figured out how to tag. You'll see yourself on the NL grow in roughly a week from todayπ
Very well done with the GG#4 Happy harvest. After reading your Diary iam very impressed. This grow had ( even in the Beginning) a lot of Lessons for you. You mastered them very well
Congratulations to you my friend For your price! ππ Beautiful harvest in 20 weeks more! π
I'm happy to follow you I immediately felt that you hold the strength πͺ welcome to the masters jedis π
@JinksyGrows,the advice I can give you is to continue like this! You are a very good farmer kudos to you π Good luck and may the force be with you πͺ
@Master_weeda, Thanks man! I checked out your grows, very nice! If you have any advice or see anything wrong with my grow please don't hesitate to through me some grow knowledge!
Awesome grow friend, gg4 is a quality smoke ππ a stray seed got jnto my first grow of bag seed, eternally glad that it did haha
Very informative at every step, you say your a newbie but I would not have known until I read you say it haha πππͺ respect
@JinksyGrows, that's it man, when you recognise there's always something new to learn, ways to improve to make yourself a better version of whatever the endeavour is, rather than sit on one way thinking its as good as it gets π
Then you will always have room to improve
Its a good thing to have to use your time on, a grow, you need mental and physical stimulation or you have to long to dwell on the negative
I actually tried to grow another bag seed gg4 at the start of this grow but there was something badly wrong from the get go, and I let it go, I had more than enough for my space anyway, and also the gorilla zkittlez
but that's basically the only plant I've lost, and it wasn't through mistake, soil seems fairly forgiving which is useful
I think it's always worth having a gorilla in the tent in some form or another
Peace mon
@I_and_I, Haha, thank you kindly. I am certainly a newbie but put quite a bit into further learning. Unemployment allows for these things, Lol! Things have been going pretty well and I'm hoping grow #3 will be even more fruitfulπ. Little scared though. I haven't had a big eff up yet or lost a plant and I'm paranoid now. hahaha. Give me two weeks and it'll passπ.
And GG!?! Ummm, I want to try a lot of strains, but after this first grow w/ GG, I keep feeling like I want to do a full 4 plant run of them. I loved it man. It does a lot for me and it was really depressing when I ran out. Can't find it anywhere either! So, going to grow it again and stock pile a large amountπ(Grow #4...maybe). And lucky you finding a stray GG. Gift from the cannabis God's.π
Looks like a very fine product! I've never grown it myself, but have had GG4 before and your description was bang on for what my experience was with it. Great job!
@CrankledLarkus, Thanks so much for your kind words! It was a great experience and it's great smoke. Already on to the next project!
Happy growing my friend. Cheers and fun out there.
@@BeanswithPork, Hey Beans, thanks for checking out the diary and for dropping a messageπ Yah! Those clips are a god send. Also work really well for wire/cable management and hanging lite weight devices and probesπ. Cheers man and happy grows.
@JinksyGrows, I too have had alcohol issues. Been sober coming up on Four yrs. Thats the same amount of time Iβve done in jail because of drinking throughout my life. Weed has helped immensely with my chronic pain, anxiety, sleep, appetite and cravings. Never lost friends, wife, jobs, driverβs license, freedom and respect due to weed. Wish I could say the same about booze. Better late then never but wish my Father, Mother and brother lived to see me get sober but wasnβt to be. Congrats to you. Never an easy task. My private chat is always here to talk if or when things get trying.
@Buddha2, I'm sincerely sorry you have/had to wait so long. That being said, you're right, better late then never! You do you and enjoy your medicine and all the plant babies. Governments be damned. And yes! Everything's out there and available, especially information. Makes the learning curve a lot less sharpπ.
@JinksyGrows, yes, it is indeed frustrating. The demonization of cannabis is one of the biggest tragedies of mankind. And while there is some progress meanwhile, it is hard to stay patient. Sooner or later I will be running out of (life-)time. I'm waiting for legalization since almost 40 years now. And I'm a bit angry about myself that I started growing only lately. But better late than never. At least now there is no more stress with organizing the supply π
@raptor65, I live in Alberta and I hear you loud and clear. -40 outside isn't good for anyone or anything, even growing indoors. I'm growing through the winter but itll cost me power for sure. lol. Hoping there's not going to be too much of am issue. I'm an electrician as well and calculated all my loads including a couple mini ceramic heaters. Looks like I'm pushing the breaker, but it should all be fine....I hope. Wouldn't look good if an electrician burnt down his own house, hahaha.
@JinksyGrows, I'll be starting my next grow in March ,winter in canada is a bad time to start my project, I would need too much power for heating and that would be too expensive for me , I did just order my seeds with seedsman for my next grow ( got a good deal),really looking forward till the time to start ,not wishing my time away LOL, But thanks for asking about my next grow , I'll keep my eye on ya mate , good luck
@JinksyGrows, Thanks yeah this one came out better then first GG. Even removed that dairy. Iβm in a NE US. state and GG grown outside holds up and produces much better outside then any indoor grow I seen. THC ranges for β This is nice β to β wholly fuck Iβm stoned β Lol Also GG is not a crazy smelly strain making it great for unnoticed gorilla grows.
Yes there are I use plant yoyos cheap and won't hurt the plant. There are other options to like for instance a tell is good option, bamboo stakes, tomato rings and cages. Check out my last harvest I had plant yoyos.
@DankGardener, Just checked it out, looks like the yoyos are the way to go and the easiest to apply. Thanks again for the heads up and advice. Just ordered a 5 pack from Amazon. Cheers
@DankGardener, Hey! Thanks so much. Never heard of plant yoyo's before and will look into them right away. I currently have 5' bamboo stakes and was going to use those, but was afraid they'd be too cumbersome to apply. That being said, I'll check out your grows and see how others implement that bamboo stakes for optimal support. Thanks again! I really appreciate it.
They look amazing!! I am excited for the future of my plants after seeing yours. Looking forward to your future grow as well. My vote is one each NL, and Blue cookies.
@Girlybudz, Thanks so, so much. I'm so excited! And I'm sure your ladies will grow beautifully! No doubt.
And thank you. Your my first vote on BC or NL. And your advice is probably what I'll do. Cant hurt to have 3 strains instead of twoππ.
@BuddingBudda, Thanks so muchπ! I'm quite excited for my first harvest. And you're absolutely right, I love GG4 and I felt it was a great strain to start with. Always works for meππ. Thanks again, man. This is why I love this site. We all cheer one another on and wish success on othersππ. It's great sharing a community with good/helpful peoples like yourself.
