Hello readers, thanks for joining my channel. This is my second attempt cultivating the very potent and desirable Gorilla Girl.
We begin on Week 9 overall, where she has been flourishing under the QB. The LEDs (3000k+CREE 660nm) were dialed down a notch, maybe ~200W. In terms of vegetative growth, this QB produced a plant that was 3x lengthier than my previous grow with the Mars Hydro.
Here's my notes on height and the factors affecting verticality. Items are listed in order of importance and scope is limited to an indoor DWC environment.
1. Experience - armed with the knowledge below, you can pretty much control height
2. Genetics - self explained, don't grow ruderalis
3. Type of light - old school blurples shorter, QB taller
4. Amount of light - 24/0 veg for stout plant, 16/10 for stretch
5. Container size - larger bucket for a bigger girl
6. Nutrients - proper feeding to make her massive
7. Physical stressors - fans will make stronger but shorter limbs, my 8 week veg had no active air
I meant to flower a week before but she had recently split in half down the main stem. Now recovered, she stands at an intimidating 3' tall. It was a big mistake training her so late as her arms proved to be too rigid at this point.
Let's do an experiment: Blurples on the left, white on the right. Combined over 500W true wattage.
Why is my pH dropping 0.5 every 24 hours? After reservoir change, pH is stable 5.5 - 6 for 4-5 days as I top it off with tap water, but then pH drops quickly end of the week. No EC tester, so I have to change reservoir every week.
water temps are probably a little to high and by the end of the week your probably starting to get a little slime starting. Makes your ph go whacked. Frozen water bottles or freezer packs in your water and keep it cooler and your ph should get a little bit more stable. Just adjust through the week when it drops.

Round 2 is looking awesome!! Best of luck! I'm on my first grow and killed 5 of 6 plants but Qweeby lives! Very Resilient to say the least! I'm learning!
Hi! Nice choice of strain, im currently growing the Gorilla Girl strain in organic living soil to get maximum taste out of my flower. What do you think of growing this strain so far? Has it been without problems or have you encountered some issues with the strain in particular?
Anyway, have a great day and happy growing. ๐ ๐ฑ
