RQS #Royal Gorilla

Hi folks. So this is my first time on Growdiaries and i am still figuring out how to use. Growing together with a SweedtSeeds Jack 47 fast version with 3 weeks apart from each other. Several improvements on this new project: -Humidifier -Main-lining technique -Cloning -Include boosters on flowering stage. ________________________________________________________________________ Royal Gorilla from Royal Queen Seeds is a popular and powerful strain known for the enormous amount of resin it produces, high in terpenes and cannabinoids, with some specimens exceeding 25% THC. The result of an accidental cross between Sour Dubb and Chem Sister, this clone-only cultivar quickly conquered growers with the abnormally high quality of it’s flowers, with only average yield but one of unbelievably resin-heavy buds that release a mouthwatering floral aroma. It’s a fast flowering variety, when grown indoors Royal Gorilla can be harvested after 8-9 weeks of bloom, and in outdoor cultivation it’s ready to collect in mid October, delivering a maximum production of 500-550g per m2. The effect is very relaxing physically, euphoric and elevating, the Royal Gorilla can be very effective at combating stress, and its 24-26% THC make it a good option for medicinal users looking to harvest cannabinoid-rich plants. Its sweet, earthy aroma, enriched with pine and lemon notes, along with the high production of trichomes, make Royal Gorilla the perfect candidate for making all types of cannabis concentrates and hash.

Comments and tips will be appreciated. Hope you guys like it. 😎

B-first signs of root coming out. added calmag for first time. will increase in next feed. humidity 50% G-humidity 30%

took some time but finally this week roots will reach the water from the bucket. results are good but considering use of roots enhancer next time.

Day #25 -topping 1/3 I will start to update the roots development as well after this week. Humidifier seems to make a good difference. raising up to 20%. only problem it drinks lots of water. Even i got one with considerable reservoir size (2.3L) i need to refill it everyday. Worth tho. Did the 1st topping for Main-Lining. Never did this before, hope will get good results. 😎

The plant is growing strong. I have to change the wires in order to follow the plant growing. Seems quite hard because there is no soil to attach hooks. So i am thinking to build something that might work better for main lining on hydroponics.

Added CalMag. Day #35 - topping 2/3 Da5 #38 -decided to stop using top feeding. roots are strong enough to continue growth itself. Clones have recovered making roots and now standing by itself. Plant responded very well to adding of CalMag, decide to proccede with topping (2/3). Algae start to form on the top feed tube. removed for cleaning and decided to stop. top feed get good results for the first weeks for root development but later is not so relevant, so decided to stop to see the results.

You can see the result of stop the top-feed: some roots got dry but the plant is responding well. Made a lid for the plant's bucket to reduce the light leaking in the solution bucket. also, going to cover the bottom with tape for the same reason. need to fight against algae and bacteria, seems quite a challenge.

Finally did the last topping and achieved the shape i wanted so much! Can see the "H" on top, this gonna serve as base for the next following branches. quite symmetrical.

TRANSITION week.

EARLY BLOOM week #1 Plant continue to grow healthy and strong! Starting to use Liquid KoolBloom for first time and will observe the result.

EARLY BLOOM week #2 Got some nutrient burn. Reducing usage of liquid KoolBloom. (this is my first time using).

MID BLOOM week #1 Changed the nutrient regime. Start adding Beastie Bloomz. The buddies are getting bigger and bigger every day. :)

MID BLOOM week #2

LATE BLOOM week #1 Doubled the usage of Beastie Bloomz.

LATE BLOOM week #2

RIPEN week. Used 1 tea spoon instead of 2 of Beastie Bloomz.
