Nice stone, very heavy onset that clears a little after 40 mins or so. Really nice flavour, fruity and sweet with a gassy exhale. Definitely glues one to their seat!

Always seem to do well with this line, although I rarely have to use PH down, usually PH up which goes against most other lines from what I have read. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Cut a week early and a little bit of drama along the way, some issues with persistent bud rot from week 14 or so most likely caused by my blocked intake filter. I learned a lot during this grow and will take these experiences and hopefully turn them into a better next time! Will definitely have another go at growing Royal Gorilla in the not too distant future, however I think I have enough to smoke on for quite some time. Overall appearance of the buds and their structure are not as pretty as my last run, however the flavours, yield (1.48 gpw) and potency make up for that imo. Thanks for following along, good luck with your grows!

To me the Flowering is the most " boring" Part of The grow ------- I love the start, gemination and seedling and training , getting them big...๐Ÿ˜‚ But Flowering is the Meditative Part , too. Just sitting sin front, sniffing, picking away some leaves and just Looking๐Ÿ˜

@Mrs_Larimar, agree completely! Maybe I will have to set up a perpetual grow to keep myself busy!

How...how do you get in? Hahaha๐Ÿ˜…. She's jam packed with goodness man. Some extremely promising buds๐Ÿ‘. Btw, I took some advice from the convo you were having w/ Hazey, below. Strung up my Purple Star to space my mains and she is bulking up beautifully ๐Ÿ‘Œ. Never thought to use them for that, thanks! Happy grows this week๐Ÿ™‚

@JinksyGrows, haha I earlier on in the grow I locked myself in the room for 2 hours late at night because the handle fell off ๐Ÿฆ thanks for the kind words and glad youโ€™re strapping your girls up, itโ€™s gotta do more good than harm for sure ๐Ÿ’ช

I am amazed at how the health of the plants seemed to greatly improve when they started to stretch out! As an outside grower I didnโ€™t know that droopy looking veg. would be so productive in flower! Thanks for the lesson and I really appreciate your attention to details in the diary. Buds up bro !!

@NuggetPawn, looking forward to growing the Sweet Seed's Skittlez - but that will be a micro grow since I'm being demoted to a smaller footprint ๐Ÿ˜‚ (my wife has done really well so far...). And I'll be bringing my Tropicana Banana from the outdoors inside to start flowering :) Good times ahead. Hope it's a better week for you mate!

@NuggetPawn, NICE!!! I love DIY systems. I'm on the fence on if I want to build one myself or turn 1 of my aerogarden systems into a low Ryder grower. How long it take you to build?

One of my favourite grows ๐Ÿ‘ looking super fine. When do you wire up the yoyos usually and is it just on the big colas? I'm thinking of using some to space out tops from each other ...
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@HazeyBobby, haha I like a fat trunk though! ๐Ÿ˜
HazeyBobby
HazeyBobby
@NuggetPawn, interesting approach! Going to have to try that next time ๐Ÿ˜‰ .. in the meantime - I'll just ignore the massive trunks on my plant in my grow ๐Ÿคฃ
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@HazeyBobby, thanks man, appreciate it ๐Ÿ˜Ž about 2 weeks after flip I usually try to hook up every cola possible, just make sure you buy plantit! Yoyoโ€™s as theyโ€™re super reliable. I donโ€™t have enough of them and the yellow ones are poop, some own brand hydro store ones. Itโ€™s a good idea to use them to space the branches out, thatโ€™s what I tend to do too. I really think they help with yield too, as I never get any fat trunks as the plants are effectively weightless, so I figure the plant doesnโ€™t use energy to strengthen trunks and uses it for flower production instead ๐Ÿ˜Š

Congrats on the harvest. Looks like you managed to make the best of the situation. What's the story with the red-coloured buds? Mmmm. Hash. I'd like to try making some one day - another project for the list.

@NuggetPawn, Awesome! I look forward to the videos.
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@StunFlower, thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m not sure tbh, Iโ€™ve seen another Royal Gorilla diary on here that got some pinky/purple buds so maybe itโ€™s just a pheno thing. 2 out of 5 had some pinky/purple in them. Hash is definitely worth making for sure, I just put my trim with sugar into brown paper bags and stick in the freezer until Iโ€™m ready to process, I then use a 220 micron bubble bag, a 5 gallon bucket, flat surface and some dry ice, Iโ€™ll post some videos next week ๐Ÿ˜Š

Just love watching that D1-77 time lapse... the flip then explosion. How do you maintain the plants in the back? a crawl through that floor would be a funny sight. Must be smelling wonderful in there now ๐Ÿ‘Œ
HazeyBobby
HazeyBobby
@NuggetPawn, perfect to be forced not to touch some of the plants.. I sometimes can't help defoliate and trying very hard this grow not to touch it - just to experience the 'leave the leaves' approach :) Larf is excellent for concentrates ๐Ÿ‘Œ
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@HazeyBobby, seriously smell great, got some great smokey expectations now! Going to the back is impossible without breaking anything now so I havenโ€™t ventured out there for a few weeks. I think Iโ€™m gonna get a lot of larf on the lower canopy but Iโ€™ll just use that for hash I think! ๐Ÿ˜Š

hey man I'm deciding what beans to pop next. I have these seeds but never grew them. looking for a hard hitting auto with strong aroma. does this fit the bill? mad kief u got there mate. what size microns d are u dry sifting with Growmie? great job on the grow. shame about the bud rot. I wish I had money for one of these https://airsniper.ca/product/air-sniper-low-pro/ and forget about bud rot, powdery mildew and all that nasty crap. maybe one day. happy trails growmie
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@DaSofaSurfer, I donโ€™t have much experience with autos, but if the auto version is close to the taste and high of this one, I definitely recommend. I use a 220 bag only, as some trichome heads are bigger than 160 sometimes. That looks like some serious kit, would be scared to know how much they cost lol Thanks for your message, hope this helps!
