I have put 7 seeds in a paper towel with warm water and put in a plastic takeaway tub, they are in the boiler room for heat. My setup is a 2x1x2 grow tent, I have 3 200watt LED lights of a medium quality, I am growing in 25l fabric pots and the medium is going to be soil. I have a small intake fan and a 6 inch outtake fan with rhino filter.

6/7 of my seeds popped.. I'm happy with that.. so I have put them in a really low nutrient soil called Atami ATA bi grow, when I introduced the light into the tent I. Only had one light and it was pretty high up and mainly over the C.O.P seeds.. so the stems have got really stretchy and long and have collapsed... They are still going though hopefully the will thicken themselves up.. they now are close to the light on a 6 hours on 2 hours off light cycle.

Sooo my 6 gorrilla ice cream is not going as well as I would of hoped.. when they first popped the light was mainly on the critical orange punch seeds at the other side of the tent.. so the GIC stretched to find light and now they are top heavy.. also the leaves are curling from over heating.. that heat problem is now sorted so hopefully they will start to strengthen up and perk up a bit.. I'm feeding only water once a day and misting 2/3 times a day for humidity. At the end of week 4 I will putting into final pots and using a nutrient rich soil.

Soo technically week 3 above soil.. my daily routine is, mist plants with Luke warm water first thing in the morning.. then at night I mist again and go around all the plants and tuck leafs underneath each other to get more light to potential bud sites.. then I water. I do this every day.. plants are looking pretty good and they have perked up alot since the droopy days.. still a bit of leaf curl but they are looking pretty decent.. so I am going to transplant them into the 15 l pots tomorrow with the nutrient rich soil in and I am going to introduce a third LED light.. hopefully they take well to the nutrients

The plants are finally in there big 15l fabric pots with the high nutrients soil.. the gorrilla ice cream seems to have taken to the high nutrients really well and seems to be flourishing, I'm doing lots of leaf tucking and watering and spraying once a day.. I will probably introduce a very light feed next week and starting feeding them from the bottom aswell.

technically week 5 above soil, Soo the plants are looking really healthy how ever I'm having a humidity problem, so I'm going to buy a dehumidifier for the room.. at the end of this month I am going to switch to flower, add and extra light and more co2 bags, and maybe add some nutrients.

I've added an extra light, a dehumidifier, another co2 bag and I have fed once as the leafs started turning yellow and having not fed them whatsoever I assumed it was a lack of nutrients.. so I have done my first feed which I will probably do 2 times a week and just water on the rest of the days. I am going to be leaf tucking and snipping unwanted leafs of the lower section this week..

Really impressed with this strain it has grown really wide and bushy and fairly even canopy considering I have only been leaf tucking.. I'm probably going to strip some bottom leafs off soon and try and clear her up a bit.. the smell is starting to shine through, I have added to the tent more co2 and 1 extra light.. all 6 of the gorrilla ice creams are doing amazing. Expert seeds are on to a winner here.. I have ordered some gorrilla banana for the next crop..

This plant is coming along nicely plenty of stretch and bud sites.. buds are gaining frostyness allready.. smells incredible I'm gonna have to upgrade my carbon filter lol.. next time I am going to do a scrog grow I think.. I used to train LST with string but it's very time consuming..

Dropped the feed down as getting nute burn I think.. mainly in one plant.. over all the plants are looking nice and healthy and buds seem to be forming nicely.. I am going to have some big dense colas on these gorilla ice creams.. the crystal is forming allready and they smell really nice..
