Tip#1
Gorilla Breath didn't seem to like heavy defoliation. Keep it simple
Tip#2
I recommend growing at least 2+ seeds.... the different pheno types was a fantastic surprise ๐
Tip#3
Make sure the air filter is working.... very strong diesel.... oh yeah!

Where do we start... ๐ต
The Gorilla Breath girls finished early then expected. Could have been the lower temps at night or possibly the extra stress I put them under... ๐
The Scrog technique was challenging... I should have striped more arms off so it would have directed more energy into the main arms...
Another area I should have done different was the watering... I usually water until I have run off.... but always found I was loosing too much nutrients... so this time I gave them water until I seen a little run off coming out the side (middle) of the cloth pot... thinking the water was getting all the way down... the water did not and the bottom half of the pot had zero roots in them... another reason for low yield.
I also tried the heavy defoliation technique since I have tried it before on different strains... I don't believe it helped... keep it to a simple defoliation.
Besides my mistakes, I am really happy about the quality of the bud... I have some rock hard buds, some airy buds, and all buds are covered in thick trichomes...๐
I did get some clones from them.... I kept 1 from veg state and 2 from the flower stage... (1 from 3 week flower and 1 from 5 week flower) The Veg clone is doing awesome, the 3 week flower clone is doing good and the 5 week flower clone is just starting to take root... I think... it's not dead yet anyways... ๐
They are all for outdoor grow and super excited to have the chance to do it again...
They dried in recorded timing for me at 4-5 days... I wish they have took longer... scared of getting the hay smell... but the stock was very dry and ready for the jars... let the curing begin!
I vaped a little bud to give it a try and wow.... I really can't wait for it to be cured... feels quite potent already. The taste is mixed from fresh taste, diesel, and bud that wasn't cured yet...๐ will update!
I am sad I made some mistakes with this very awesome strain... but extremely excited to smoke it all! I know right now I am going to love it...
Completely recommend.... ๐
Thanks HSO for the seeds!
BAM!!!
@Crawlndog, Perfect !!! Thanks! I'll study on that. I already make my own super soil, but i love to see new recipes! And I feel like I need to put fertilizer still...
@Psilocubensis, I added a couple of pics of the soil. The company is from Nova Scotia, Canada. Not sure their ratio for every ingredient, but they seemed to nail it!
The vertical stretch is definitely over mate ๐
You can see all focus is on flower/bud production ๐ค
Looking good in here ๐
Kind regards โ๏ธ
Team-HSO..
Those buds are filling out a treat ๐ค
Still a few weeks to go which means even more bud production to come๐ค
Please keep the diary update coming ๐
Kind regards โ๏ธ
Team-HSO..
Loving the training work mate ๐ค
That's definitely going to be beneficial later in the grow ๐
We will keep dropping in as you update your diary ๐
With love from Humboldt Countyโ๏ธ
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
How is the high?
How were the trichomes color when you harvested?
How was the flowering stretch?
I will also do SCROG.
I just germinated mine yesterday wohoooo! :D
@Crawlndog, tnx for a thorough explanation, just what I wanted to hear :)
In regards to the yield, I highly doubt I will break records as I grow micro, check my previous diary, it is only 1 plant grow in a tiny tent, so not worried too much for the final weight.
I do stress though about the quality, it must be PERFECT :D
@H3MP3R0R, The high is actually quite strong. Even though it is rated at 26/27%, I don't think it hit that mark, but I do feel it's certainly in the 20's.... I don't fell couchlock by any means but I also don't fell like running a marathon eithr... lol. Does make me quite smiley and happy!
The Trichs were about 60-70% amber when I harvested. The stretch wasn't bad, but I think I kinda messed up with scrogging... I do have 2 outdoor clones growing awesome, and the stretch for them will be starting next week to 10 days.
It had a really strong smell of diesel when flowering.
Hope you enjoy as much as I am.... and hope you get a shit ton more then I got (reason for the clones outdoor..๐)
