Hello my sweet Diary.
Here is a new diary. Lots of new challenges this time for me. The first time I plant feminized seeds, I will use organic nutrients from RQS. Also, I will replace my airpots with fabric pots.
But let's start from the beginning.
Why Mother Gorilla?
When I choose the strain for the next planting, the main category is that I would like it to be sativa. Since I am also a daytime smoker, I do creative work, and I want my smoke to help me and stimulate me to work, not lie down on a sofa and listen to music. I have to be productive. The other parameter is the height, since my Box is 120x60x180, the light should be 35-40 cm from the plants, the height of 100-110 cm is the maximum for my conditions.
And so Royal Madre, which meanwhile changed its name to Mother Gorilla, was the winner in the current selection of strains I have in my collection.
This time, I planted two Mother Gorilla plants and one Somango XL plant, a little indica for evening smoke. In the meantime, as I was thinking about which strain to plant, the team at RQS were changing genetics and sending me a new seeds (mother Gorilla) whose height was no longer that small. We'll see what lies ahead.
Mother Gorilla provides a stimulating effect typical to sativa-dominant varieties. Itโs the perfect level of energy and excitation. She swiftly wakes up the mind and gets the neurons firing, without being overwhelming. Users will enjoy a motivating and creative mindset that, in small doses, can be good for artistic and athletic ventures. Smoke enough of her flowers, though, and the effect becomes completely euphoric.
Mother Gorillaโs flowers contain an impressive THC content of 23โ25%โmore than enough to provide significant therapeutic effects for medicinal users. The strain has the potential to reduce pain and stoke the appetite. Her bud also contains high levels of the terpene caryophyllene, a type of "dietary cannabinoid". The strain is also high in the mood-boosting and relaxing terpenes limonene and myrcene. This terpene profile culminates in tastes of rich chocolate and earth complemented by sweetness and spice.
So, this is my set-up:
Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178
Lights - MIGRO 200+
Fan - Blauberg Turbo - E 100
Ventilation - Monkey Fan 20W Oscillating
Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix
Small 0.4L for germination and 11L fabric pot
Seed - Royal Queen Seed

Planting. After photographing the seeds, I prepared 3 small pots for germination. Two for Mother Gorillas and one for their roommate Somango.
After that, I added 1g Easy Roots - Mycorrhiza to each hole where I put the seeds. After that, I soaked everything well with water and put it in the Box.
The light was on for 24 hours, the temperature in the box was about 25 degrees and the humidity was 35-40%.
25.01.2020.
Plants sprouted after 4 days. The day before, I sprayed them a little with water.
29.01.2020. Day 1.
In size and development, this is the first day.
30.01.2020. Day 2.
For the first time, I watered the plants with Easy Grow Booster tablets. I split the pill into three pieces and put it in water to melt. It takes about 3-5 minutes to dissolve the whole tablet in 7 liters of water.
Depending on the water temperature. For start, when the pots are small, I only prepare a third of one tablet in 2 liters of water as I do not need large quantities for watering yet.

Mother Gorilla #1 - 8.5 cm

That's it for now, I wish the humidity was higher, next week my first plant transplant is waiting for me. See you soon.
Hi, Iโm having Migros too and wanted to ask you at what stage you put the dimmers to 100% power. I think Iโm setting them to full power too early and the plants remain very short๐ thank you formthe advice.๐
