OMG! This strain had the stickiest, citrusy buds I've ever grown! The buds literally had droplets of resin leaking out all over them! When you go to break up a bud the material just sticks all over your fingers. When smoked, because it's so incredibly resinous, it burns slow and packs a punch so cut your usual you stuff in the bowl in half! Burns great in a King Palm tube and I could just leave it unlit and inhale the incredible terpene profile that this strain produces...mouth watering! Definitely one I'll grow again!!!π ππ
What can I say...after running three SunSystems 315 LEC's with great success in my 4x8 I made the switch to LED's. I did my research, talked to other growers, then decided to go with two HLG's 650R's. I added to each of them HLG's 30w supplemental UV bars which attach directly to the main quantum board...nice clean setup! The thing I liked most about these lights, besides the massive 2.81 umol output, is the fact that you can hang these bad boys a recommended 30"-48" above the canopy depending on stage (I've had them @ 24" during flower and the girls LOVED it!) which is unlike the majority of the other LED's which have much closer recommended hanging heights, which in my mind affects the coverage area. My two 650R's absolutely ROCK my Gorilla 4x8! I wouldn't go back to CMH's or with anything else after seeing the results these powerhouses can provide!ππ
Another product that absolutely hits it out of the park! I LOVE my Gorilla 4x8 and only wish I had a 5x9 to go with it so I could run photo's and auto's in separate tents OR use one for a mother to clone and the other for propagation. Gorilla tents are the best made period, with heavy duty components in every high stress area and because of the quality materials they use my 4x8 has over 3 dozen runs through it and still looks great with all the zippers, windows, vents and fabric withstanding the use and abuse without a hitch! I would recommend doing what I did and get the High CFM kit for any of their tents as it (a) prevents the tent from 'sucking in' which cuts down your grow space, and (b) it's great for attaching a Trellis Net to as you can adjust the height you want it at. Definitely a MUST HAVE! GROW STRONG!!! πͺπ
This strain was a learning experience for me, even after 40 years of growing there's always room to learn! I would only recommend LST on this strain as I topped one of the two and she ended up a dwarf only yielding 47gm. The other pointer is, be PATIENT...these girls look so beautiful at week 7-8 you'll want to chop them. Being patient and waiting for week 9 or possibly 10(depending on where the trichomes are) will reward you with a HUGE purple sticky icky monster of a cultivar. She's sensitive to Nitrogen so go light on it and let her do her thing...you won't be disappointed! Day or Night?....I like this strain from AM to PM and everything in-between, freaking delicious!π
I'm running all 10g fabric pots- Six of them are filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog mixed with Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, two are filled with SOHUM Living Soil. Every pot's medium ph's @ 6.2-6.8 except one SOHUM which is @ 5.2-5.4! WTH? Don't know how she's alive!
Must be genetics, maybe that strain was breed in hydro for past generations, i have a plant that drinks 7.5 ph water and when i lowered it to 6.3 she started getting sick. Had to go back to 7.5 ph. Smh.
Hi, im getting into growing and use sohum, what does the " 2 1/2g" mean when you say "2 1/2g straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4". And what type of water do you use, Ro, Tap, Etc.
Thank you any help is greatly appreciated.
@CainHeim, I use well water from the tap which runs around 200ppm and 7.4-7.8 ph before I adjust. The 2 1/2g was referring to how much TOTAL water I gave which was split evenly between my plants. DON'T over water.... biggest 'noob' mistake. Let your plants tell you when they are thirsty and take care of what you can't see (the ROOTS) and the rest will take care of itself! Good luck with your grows and Merry Christmas! ππ
@TheCannaProphet, thanks for the reply. I got fungus gnats in my NLS as well. For whatever reason they all disappeared after my first application of SLF100 even though it's completely unrelated. Not sure how or why but they never came back.
@HashCakes, Thanks for checking out my diary! I had two growing in SOHUM soil and one did excellent, the other had issues. When I checked the ph of the SOHUM with the plant with issues I found that it was @ 5.2....WAY too low. I don't know if it was a bad bag or what but it pissed me off. The NLS plants did really well but using it brought Fungus Gnats, which could have only come from the NLS as I've NEVER had them previously. So now I've gone back to my Ol' Reliable Mother Earth Coco/Perlite with 100% Organic Dry Amendments or Liquid Nutrients depending on the run. Hope this helps you...Grow Strong! ππ
I have the seeds Gelato OG in my Run 2 diary & one of them is a freaking monster!! By far the biggest plant in my tent! Canβt wait to see how yours turns out friend! Happy growing!βοΈπΌπ±
