Two days of heavy rain, had onE branch snap From weight and another twisted and bent all the way to the ground without breaking! Tape for the break and propped up the twisted one. The gals are doing well, all fat white pistils Dumping lots of sugar, dropping to -1 Celsius tonight so I’m gonna cover with a poly painters tarp
@Rap_a_cap,looking good bro, I’m in eastern Ontario and seem to be a couple weeks or more behind you, I’m expecting to harvest towards the second week of October
I'm also growing Gorilla but the Bomb cross from BombSeeds. I've had a problem with them "midgeting" on me finishing at bonzai 2 foot high bomb, potent but only an ounce per plant! Were popped along with the rest of the plants you see on my grow with the Girl Scout Cookie's leading the pack. I admire your pot size but my situation requires transportable pots. (12 gallon conical 30" H.) Yet these pots are producing the GSC's at over 8 feet tall! Looks like you trim just like I do. Any tips beyond the one brand of ferts you spec? For me the biggest new finds this year are: going organic, the power of human urine on veg, switching my guano from Nitro (insect eating bats) to Cavern Culture from fruit eating bats for better ingredient profile for flowering. Aloe Vera juice to help roots absorb water and stay cool in heat spells along with the kelp extract I was already using. Without the heat spell and wind damage this year has had the most promising results, no bugs and no disease yet.
@GDub51, thanks for the reply!
I have found my largest help to deal with heat and dry spells is a nice three inch layer of grass clippings as mulch, preferably green when u place it and you will receive the benefit of the nitrogen as a bonus! I have been using urine for years but people think I’m nuts when I say it so kudos to you bro! I use Epsom salts for root production, I toss some in the bottom of each hole when planting and water every other week at a tablespoon per gallon! Your girls are looking great also!!
I will be growing royal gorilla for the rest of my life I believe! Unless of course rqs somehow makes an improvement lmao! Now that I have an idea of how much space they will take up with the proper training I believe I can up my harvest considerably. These two crowded each other out that they were really only about two thirds of their potential
