GROW π
As you may already know, I have 2 varieties in my growroom. π
I have 4 pots of each species with 4 plants in each pot. So 16 plants Mother Gorilla and 16 plants Triple G. π½
In the first weeks, the Triple G plants were the fastest growers. But since flowering, most Mother Gorillas are now higher in length than the Triple Gs.
The 16 Triple G vary in length.
On DAY 26 these are the various lengths (in cm) : 47, 51, 66, 71, 74, 76, 78, 81, 83, 83, 83, 85, 91, 95, 96, 102
The drastic pruning in week 2 has stimulated the plants enormously. The plants have been multiplied by 2 to 2.5 times in height since flowering

BLOOM π
The plants are now busy making new flowers. The plants with the most Sativa genes do not yet have that many flowers. But the plants with more Indica genes are already working hard to string the flowers together to thick buds. The scent of the flowers is fantastic.

WATER / HUMIDITY π°
I have lowered the desired humidity again this week by 5% π and the temperature is increased by 1 degree. ππ
The plants have made many new leaves. Every day (24 hours) the 4 pots (16 plants) get about 7 liters of water to drink. π
Most of the water evaporates through the leaves and therefore the humidifiers evaporate less and less water. At the beginning of the week, I had to fill the two humidifiers with 7 liters of water every 24 hours, now every 40 hours. π
All the concentrate was from the sugar leaves? That's amazing ! Such a beautiful plant!
How about these auto pots? I've read that on the bottom should be perlite and coco coir, or something like that, not hidroton... I'm surprised by that
@Psilocubensis, Yeah π 35gr concentrate of a collection of 400 gr sugar leaves of Triple G, Mother Gorilla, El Patron and AMG (previous harvests). Made with the Dexso extractor and DME π
Beautiful looking buds coming along nicely. Lovely color and thick layer of frost. Great work. Keep doing what you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the rest if your journey growmie.
@Nebula420, Exactly as I thought at first. But no signs of any spider mites. Very very very very sporadically I saw some things under the leaves that do not belong there. But no spider mites. Under the magnifying glass, it looked rather like light-green spots but certainly no bugs. I have had the phenomenon for at least 4 weeks, and if it were spider eggs, I would have seen a lot of mites by now.
Thank you for the nice comment on the frosty buds. Yeah, the are really frosty. The almost shine in the dark π
Although the smell and taste of Triple G is fantastic, I also suffered from male balls. Probably due to defoliation stress. They appear only during the second and third week of flowering. But enough to provide (unwanted) offspring. I've had it with feminized seeds. That is why I now put regulars and took cuttings from them.
Amazing π super frosti and all have a really good bud to leaf ratio π
Would you grow again 4 plants in one pot or go back to "just" one? BTW I never tried it by myself π
@KrautFabrik, Because all plants germinated and grew well, I had too many plants. Buying extra autopots was not an option because of the price. Four plants per pot goes very wel. If I had clones I'd do it every time. But with seeds you have so much difference in size, that's a bit of a problem..... In the previous grow (El Patron) I only had one plant per pot, but due to the buds and the long growing time, the plants had a nutrient deficiency in the beginning of flowering.... What I do like is that the autopots allow the plants to drink water individually. Even if they are in the same pot.
