I got this Gorilla Glue #4 Autoflower seed as a freebie from Herbie's Head Shop when I ordered some other seeds that I will be doing semi simultaneously, but will have separate diaries for each. I do not know its origins as far a specific breeder. The game plan is to perform Frequent Fertigation. Its the method Ive been doing from the beginning of this epic hobby when it became legal in my state. I have lots of confidence now and expect good results. I have the routines down and my set-up is working to produce some really nice tasty good big buds. Of curse that means I just jinxed myself and I may run into some epic problems of my own doing. The one gallon cloth pot is filled with coco coir mixed with 10% expanded clay pebbles. The common mix is usually 1/3 clay pebbles, but my Cream Auto in the one gallon plant seemed to have a little nutrient issues from packing the pot very tight. So tightly it was hard to ad the fertigation solution, and likely had some areas in the root zone that didn't get good flow though during fertigation events. So I theorize that by reducing the amount of clay pebbles I may have better flow though. We will see what the difference is. I hope to eventually find the right ratio. I'm using General Hydroponics full line of Flora series. I will use the Drain to Waste schedule for nutrients and mix them to be at the upper end of the recommended EC strength. I will be using water from a medical grade RO water treatment system. I will mule the water from the facility to my house in 6 gallon water carriers. I will disinfect the water jugs weekly. I disinfect my nutrient mix dispensers at each mixing. The media was treated daily with 1.5l of 6.5ph .18ec H2O. The plant doesnt need this much fluid, but to keep the media at optimum conditions, 1.5l is the minimum to get a good even saturation of the media with good flow through. The reduced amount of clay pebbles has already shown on negative side effect. Poor the solution too fast in one spot troughs and holes form, so a slow even circular technique worked best. The light is the Mars Hydro TS1000. 150watt draw with dim-able ballast. Its turned up to max, set at 36" above pot. No fan was run when the germinated seed was put in the media to help raise the tent temperature to high 70s. Plastic cups set over the germed seed area and it emerged out of the media by day 5. I kept the plastic cup over the seedling till day 7. The seedling looks healthy, no defects, and didn't stretch.

I was using coco and getting a little green agae once in a while, treated with h2o2 and it went away. Does your air flow around the pots seem to be sufficient? I'm guessing here, but I had a lot of air flowing around my pots which might have dried the outside up immediately not giving much chance to form algae..?? There was a little green, but mostly the white chalky dust of the dried nutrients that I'd flush out with clean water once in a while. I'd immediately start nutes again after I rinsed. Like I said, just a guess.

@horrifiedonlooker, I do have a floor level oscilating fan that blows on the pots. I get pretty decent circulation around the tent. I have upped the concentration of H2O2. Its already looking better.

Bud_Good, Looks like it's really gaining traction now and overall looks really good. You're doing everything you can for this girl and I'm sure she appreciates it. When I grew my blueberry it was also short, stocky and dense making it difficult to water as well as LST or even HST. The branches got thick quickly and were short. However, it later spread out but the bushiness of all the branches and leaves often got in the way of flowers. I'm curious how yours is going to behave and how you deal with it. My next grow of blueberry I think I'm going to get more aggressive sooner in its growth cycle to try to spread it out more, if that's even possible. The branches were tight to the stalk. It still did fine and put out a lot of buds but I think it's got more potential as the lower ones were smaller. I'm sure this one will reward you later with lots of buds too. Keep up the great work!!

@horrifiedonlooker, Thanks for checking it out and sharing your thoughts. I dont plan on any lst or hst, I will do some lolly pop later for the lower and inner areas which are mega shaded. The structure of this plant right now just as you described your blueberry, compact and dense. Which is perfect and hope it grows some good big buds.

@BloodSweatBeers, Thanks, I got everything from Walmart, lol! I mix in 2.5 gallon drink dispensing jugs. I use a plant watering jug with a long spout, one 1.5l and one 5l. I use Kitchen shelving racks for the plant stands, white dish pans for the run off (which are designed to work with the racks) and have extras so I can do a quick swap to retrieve the runoff for measuring, then rinse (with an H2O2 solution in a pressurized tank, then wipe dry). I bought a couple dozen white wash clothes and use a fresh one everyday. I put the used ones on a rack to dry. When its time to wash I wash them with bleach. I pour the run-off in a graduated clear bucket to measure volume, pH and EC. I then pour it in a 3L plastic bottle ( I have 5 that fit snug in a metal dish pan, and have a funnel to guide the liquid. When the jugs of run-off are full, I take them to my patio garden and pour into my peppers, herbs, and tomato plants (the plants LOVE it!). I have giant basil plants! LOL! Thanks for the opportunity to over explain...lol! Fueled by My last grow...Cream Auto...😎

I'd say you've done a wonderful job on these plants! They're big, lush and full of very nice size cones that are stacking up. Anyone who reads your reports can appreciate what you've done and what you're experiencing during this grow. Nice descriptions all around. On my next grow I'll try some of your techniques and can only hope I do as well. I'd be happy with that. Good luck on the harvest and please report how it turns out. They look and sound tasty.

Looking really great. Doesn't look like your trimming is hurting the plant at all and buds are getting light. Should be really good results.

Wow! I've been gone for two weeks and can't recognize this plant. It's really taken off and looks great!! Really lush and a lot of bud sites forming. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep up the great work and information.

@horrifiedonlooker, Thanks! Its really become a dense dome of leaves. I just started pruning some lower/inner shaded leaves and secondary branches. Its really drinking alot too! its doing the flower stretch nicely, I didnt top it but its hard to distinguish the main cola from the rest of the buds.

I use Kryptonite soil, and never get green algae.... but I use another pox mix for other plants/veg, and I do see a little bit on that soil.... Must be the type of soil causing this....

@Crawlndog, I'm using Coco Coir. It stays moist due to the frequency of the irrigation. Just a byproduct of the methodology. It's not a major concern, just annoying to me.

Hey Bud, it's been a while since I looked around and noticed your new grow. I'm interested in this strain myself. I also noticed your issues with the solution running off when poured too fast. I didn't see all the details, but did you also put in some perlite? That really helped mine for providing air and moisture retention and drainage. I put a lot in my mix of coco. I'm sure it will all work out fine. I wish you well on this grow and hope it works out for you and look forward to your results. I tried an outdoor grow and the rabbits ate my plants the first night. Lesson learned for my backyard. Take care.

@horrifiedonlooker, Happy you checked out my Gorilla Glue. I am using expanded clay pebble in place of per-lite. I normally mix it 2/3 coco 1/3 pebbles. I have had excellent result using it. I was hoping to find out if there is a better mix ratio. I am adjusting the ratio to Coco 10:1. I also lined the bottom with a layer of pebbles. Just after this week 3 entry I added a layer of pebble across the top. This has eliminated the ruts and channeling holes when not adding solution slow enough. Once the roots fill the pot the surface will not rut as easily, and the pebbles will help prevent erosion. Sorry the rabbits ate your weed. Such a treat to grow indoors!

I'm late to the party but want to congratulate you on a very nice job! Most important is you've been taking copious notes of observations and are arming yourself with more knowledge for your next grow. I'm looking forward to it.
