Royal Gorilla

Beginning of a new grow. Here you can see my mother plants and fresh unrooted clones. I have always had the best clones in Rapid Rooters with Clonex and Azos. Should take about two weeks to be ready for transplant.

So, this is actually about day 10 from when these cuttings were taken. I have only given them indirect light, I find that works better. As you can see no nutes aside from Azos beneficial bacteria and only indirect light, there is good root formation and virtually no discoloration of the cuttings. I will harden them off over the next few days then transfer into one gallon pots with my own mix of super soil.

Everyone rooted nicely in the rapid rooters. I transplanted into a .5 gallon pot of super soil. I will veg for two weeks then transplant them to their flowering pots. Also finally upgrading my space.

The girls are settling in and starting to grow. I'll give them another week before transplanting to their flowering pot. So far no issues. I took one of the girls to try and reverse and self.

So, I am working on transplanting everyone to their final pots. Going to go with 2 gallon as I am doing a sea of green this time around. I am still just using my super soil mix.

I am going to let these girls veg for one more week. Still just letting the super soil do its thing. This has been a very easy to manage strain. I am looking forward to adding this one to my breeding program.

Not quite ready yet. I hoped to switch today but these need a few more days I think. This has still been very easy strain to manage. Overall the starin has cloned readily and has regained its vigor quickly after cloning. It grows quickly and stays short. My mother plants topped out at 3 feet. Beware it is a bit sensitive to over feeding.

Switched to 12/12. I'm excited to see my babies grow. I fed them a bit of potash to help flower formation but that's it this week. So far this strain seems to take very well to SOG set ups. I'll know next time that I can probably plant then closer right now they are spaced 1 per sqft

2nd week of flowering and the girls have almost doubled in height. They are keeping there single cola form for the most part. I added blooming nutrients this week and and going to use a reversed clone along with some male pollen to make a batch of seeds. We are going to see what we get when we hybridize a Royal Gorilla with a g13 haze.

This is the end of week 6 of 12/12 and she is looking beautiful. Love this strain. Switched over from cyco potash to swell.

End of week 7 and these are super frosty. I am starting to salivate when I look at and smell them. They have a smell that is citrus like with hints of pine and diesel. Started final flush.

Been flushing for about a week and a half. Tricromes are about 10% Amber and buds have not grown in about a week. Hairs are about 65% brown and curled in. Will harvest in the next day or two. The smell is sweet and yet has hints of pine and more than a touch of diesel.
