First Time Grow. Gorilla Bomb FEM

DeathCrusher92 Began germination process with Gorilla Bomb Feminized. 12/27/2017 at 8 PM using the glass of water method. Trying to keep my grow tent between 75 - 84 degrees. Will be planting into a 3 gallon pot with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. 😀

DeathCrusher92 Very sorry for not updating! Story so far; 12/28/2017: Gorilla Bomb by @BombSeeds germinated nicely. Immediately placed her in a 3 gallon pot of Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. She ended up popping out of the soil the next day. I've been keeping the grow room between 68 and 85 degrees. 12/31/2017: My source of light is a Sun System: Sun Light 125 Fluorescent Grown Light. Feliz: Felizlight 125 Watt Plant Growth Lamp. 6500 K Cool Spectrum for vegetative growing. 1/2/2018: Used 5mL of Flora (Micro/Gro/Bloom) each, mixed into 1 gallon of water with a pH balance of 5.7! Also added 4mL of Cal-Mag+ to gallon! Feeding 1 Liter of mixture into the 3 gallon soil. WARNING: 1/3/2018 Found signs of whiteflies inside grow tent! Went to my hydroponics store to get sticky traps. 1/5/2018: Switched light source from 24/0 to 18/6 to allow some resting at night. NOTE: I will be updating every Saturday or Sunday depending on my availability. If i don't post anything over the weekend I will try and at least shoot for the following Monday. Thank you all for watching/reading! One Love.

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: 1.8.2018: Began feeding 1 Liter of water for my 3 gallon pot. (If i should add less please feel free to correct the amount I should feed instead👌) During the day my grow tent was averaging 83 degrees / 55% humidity, and at night my grow tent was averaging 72 degrees / 34% humidity. NOTE: I'm actually growing in the corner of my garage in a tent I built myself. Not in a bedroom/closet. 1.9.2018: Now using "aggressive vegetative growth" nutrient balance shown on the Basic Applications Table located on the back of the GH Flora bottles. In 1 gallon of water I'm adding 3tsp FloraGro / 2tsp FloraMicro / 1tsp FloraBloom. Also, 4tsp CalMag +. 1.12.2018: Bought an adjustable harness to lower my lights and stop the plant from growing taller. My CFL is now 5 inches above the top of the plant. NOTE: Will be Topping this week to start growing her wide instead of tall. Still learning as I grow. Any tips/tricks would be much appreciated! 😁 Thank you for continuing in reading my story! Hope this helps. One Love!✋

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: She's growing Beautifully! Regular feeding when soil dries up. 1L of water with nutrients. There are still flies inside the tent, so I've got more sticky paper traps around the plants. I planned on topping this week but completely forgot to do it. Probably going to buy more CFL bulbs to place around the plants, just to get more all-around coverage. That's about it for this week. Incredibly simple. Didn't have to do much👏 Thank you all for following. One Love!

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR. 1/23/2018: Topping method. Going to start making more branches. NOTE: Still using "Aggressive Grow" nutrient diet in 5.8 pH water with Cal-Mag+. NOTE: There aren't as many flies as last week, but still there nonetheless. Might be buying some bug killer juice soon. NOTE: Planning of adding more CFL bulbs around the Sun System once I can find some low price grow lights. Haven't done a lot. Watered twice this week.. trying to let the top of the soil dry up more to kill possible fly eggs in the soil. Seems to be working. Thank you all for following along! One Love! 👌😁

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: She's been growing nicely! Not much to it. NOTE: Aggressive Vegetative Growth. 1 Liter. NOTE: Now that the heat is coming back I went and bought some "DynaGro Pro-Tekt." I will be adding that to my solution starting Monday. SoCal is getting ridiculous with these random heat waves... That's about it for this week! Thank you all for following along, sorry for lagging on it last week 😅 NOTE: If I still see a bunch of gnats by next Friday I will think about adding ladybugs to the tent 👋 Thank you again! One Love🙏

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: 02/04/2018 - Began letting the soil dry up to try and kill off some gnats. This week I only fed her twice. 02/05/2018 - Bought "Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. by BONIDE" and added to my nutrients. There's a ready-to-use spray solution, and a concentrate. I much prefer the concentrate because you can continue to use it in the flowering stage with your water. Whereas the ready-to-use spray cannot be used during flower due to direct chemical contamination. 02/08/2018 - I have seen very little signs of gnats. Which tells me that both, drying the soil and using CJDB, helped with eliminating some of those pests. Thank you guys so much for following along with this journey!🙏 I'm open to any suggestions if you know faster ways to kill gnats 👌👻

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: 02/12/2018 - Measured at 22 inches. 02/14/2018 - Switched to FELIZ-FELIZLIGHT 2700 K Warm Spectrum for Flower Production. 125 watt CFL lamp. Keeping light cycle to 18/6. 02/14/2018 - Fed plain water at 6.2 pH 02/17/2018 - Last week of Aggressive Veg. Going to be using one more feeding with this nutrient combo, then I'll start using "Transition to Bloom." 02/18/2018 - Measured at 24 inches. _________________________________________________________________ Everything mixed into 1 Gallon water pH balance at 6.2! *Flora Bloom: 1tsp. *Flora Micro: 2tsp. *Flora Gro: 3tsp. *Cal-Mag+: 1tsp. *Pro-teKt: 1tsp. *Captain Jacks Deadbug: 2tsp. _________________________________________________________________ NOTE: Light Stress Training to help keep her short.

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: 02/28/2018 - High stress training on 2 branches to make her a bit shorter. Kinda limited to 4 ft in my tent and she was stretching past 30 inches... 03/01/2018 - Trellis Netting by "FunkyNetz" placed. 03/02/2018 - Made her wider to get more light coverage to the lower branches. NOTE: Feeding with new mix. 03/03/2018 - She's looking great! Totally loving the nutrients 💪 _________________________________________________________________ Everything mixed into 1 Gallon water pH balance at 6.2!

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: Her growth is looking very promising! 💪 Nugs getting nice and swollen which is always a nice thing to see as the days go by. I've been adding more sticky traps even though I'm not seeing gnats.. but hey, you'll never know with these little bastards right? So on that note, I'd say she's gonna be just fine🙌 Feeding regiment is still the same as before. 👇 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Everything mixed into 1 Gallon water.

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: She's getting so fat! 😍 Super sticky, super dense, super smelly! I couldn't more happy with this grow! @bombseeds has killer genetics and I'm excited to finish this one to start the next! Weather conditions haven't been too bad. Low 70's all week in the tent and peaked at 80 on Friday. Gnats are still under control thanks to Captain Jacks and sticky traps 💪 Feeding regiment is still the same as before. 👇 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Everything mixed into 1 Gallon water.

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: 04/10/2018 - Had a small scare because of the heat. Damn grow tent peaked 91* while I was at work. First thing I saw was the plant wilting down and the fan leafs lost its stiff. My only thought was to get my fan from work and just blast it with a cool breeze. Also fed her some cold pH balanced water hoping it'll lower the soil temp. 04/11/2018 - AMAZING RECOVERY!! 🙌👏👏💪She bounced back nicely! I was so happy to see her standing up. She's leaning over a little bit, but seems to be doing fine now. 04/13/2018 - Being that there are still some gnats hiding around, I went back to my local hydroponic store and was told about this new product called Nor Cal Plant Nutrients 86. Fresh in stock so I decided to check it out. The bottle says it fights against mites and mold, but their booklets also names other type of bugs. Apparently after doing some reading online, it's safe to spray this Directly on the plant during flowering (but must stop using 2 weeks before harvest.) Although I might not try that with this grow, so instead I'm spraying onto the soil. 04/14/2018 - Found a lot of brown spots and burnt tips.. A good friend of mine is thinking nutrient burn, so her next couple feedings will be water. On a side note, terribly sorry for updating late 😓 Busy week. Thank you guys for following along! -One Love👌

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: So this past week has been rough because of the sudden rise in heat 😢 The hottest it's gotten in the tent since the last heat peak was 87 average. At night it gets to be about 54-56 so that's nice... but definitely way too hot throughout the day. My giant work fan is able to stabilize the temp between 80 and 82 while I'm gone at work. I also feel like I might've over fed her on the nutrients (after getting confirmation from a fellow master grower homie.) So she went through 3 water pH balanced feedings before a light nute feed. Hopefully this gets her back on track 🙏 Thank you guys for following along! -One Love!

DeathCrusher92 STORY SO FAR: So that heat wave a while ago left quite an impact on these final weeks before harvest. I've trimmed off a lot of dead fan leaves along with trimming down majority of burnt lips. I started flushing on 4.27.2018 with the hopes she'll make it through!🙏 So close, yet so far!

DeathCrusher92 I think I started off great, but man I wasn't prepared for this heat 😭 I definitely could've done better if I was prepared for situations like this. She stayed perfect up until that moment it hit mid 90 in the tent... other than that I'd say this was a damn good strain! The buds were huge and frosty and stinky! I'll do better next time.
