Outdoor Organic Gorilla Glue in Alberta

Harvested at 82 days from seed. The only training applied was to tie it down for a few days, and then mild LST to open it up to light. No topping or fimming as I didn’t want to delay harvest at all due to a late-ish start. With our low overnight temps here all plants in the garden take longer than advertised. Most autos take about 100 days outdoor here, but this one was faster. Designing the nearly ‘super soil’ to include dolomite lime and Epsom salts eliminated the hassle of having to add Cal-Mag with the water and the plant never showed any deficiencies. I used vinegar to adjust the water pH, molasses as a bloom booster, and super soil so this would be considered an organic grow. Super easy grow, fast, and decent yield. I expected the plant to get bigger but I guess the good weather didn’t arrive at exactly the right time during the veg stage, or maybe I could have added more N early on. Or maybe the tie down caused lower branches to grow more but stunted the overall height. I doubt it but maybe. It likely just rained too much in June. I also had it in a Solo cup a bit too long at the start (long story) that may have stunted it a bit. The nights are so cool here it’s not possible to start the seed in the final container and it’s more important to keep the seedling warm than to avoid transplanting. If you have transplanted anything in the garden before, then you know how to do it. Just don’t wait too long as you risk dwarfing the plant. It was only 2 C two nights before harvest and the plant turned a really dark purple. It had been on the warming table with the other plants and did just fine despite the low temperature. The buds are really quite hard at harvest with zero sign of mould or other sorts of problems. Very impressed as always with Fast Buds genetics. Thanks for checking out the diary.
