1st March - 1 x Royal Gorrila Automatic germinating now 😃 Today a package arrived from Royal Queen Seeds!
5 NL fem🏆, 5 Royal Jack Auto and 3 gorilla glue auto...
Plus loads of goodies! Big shout out to James from Royal Queen Seeds, thanks again!✌️🏻️
_____________________________
3rd March - Planted in soil that has been watered with nutrients. May be a little too strong. I'm only worried about the Canna Terra Vega at 1m/L everything else should be fine.
_____________________________
5th March Day 1 - seedling above ground after 2 days in soil. It's what we should all expect of good genetics.
At this stage I'm just praying for no Nitrogen toxicity.
_____________________________
9th March Day 4 - 💧fed her Rhiztonic only 1ml/L until week 2 (soil was precharged from a "Mephistake"
_____________________________
12th March Day 7 - coming along nicely soil will be fine hoping she will be a big girl🐒
March 13th Day 8 - she's a pale shade of green but things look promising. Starting a RQS Royal Jack🃏 Diary coming soon.
_____________________________
March 17th Day 12 - first true 3 finger and 5 finger leaves developing
_____________________________
March 19th Day 14 - coming along fine, thibk she might stretch because of the hight of the lights. The 2 smallest girls are a month behind the bigger ones. So when the big ones gone there will be more room in the tent. Last update for this week✌️🏻️
March 20th Day 15 - 💧 watered with 2L
_____________________________
March 22nd Day 17 - spraying daily for this week with Advanced nutrients B-52 and gentle soap. Next feed I will up the Veg nutes✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 23rd Day 18 - 💧watered
March 29th Day 24 - 💧watered today. It wasn't a heavy feed only used 1.5L next water I will drench with run off.
🌳LST'd today removed some obstructive leaves.
_____________________________
March 31st Day 26 - 🌳More LST removed most fan leaves. Probably have one more LST before she enters flower. She's pre flowering now. I'm anticipating a nice ornamental bush✌️🏻️
5th April Day 32 - 💧Watered with nutrients and heavy run off before she enters flower. I expect in a week or so. Il be feeding veg nutrients until flowers develop. Also stopped feeding B-52✌️🏻️
_____________________________
April 6th Day 33 - LST and major Defol. Height 20cm
_____________________________
April 8th Day 35 - Last day of week 5 will be feeding her another Veg feed to finish off her stretch, then move on to her flower feed✌️🏻️
April 8th Day 35 - 23cm at 6pm.
_____________________________
April 11th Day 38 - 💧fed week 6 update coming. I had some salt build up. Pulled the leaves off, I could salty bitter taste where I made the cut. Removed top layer of soil added fresh topsoil then flushed twice with 9L.
(I used 18L total) Second time was 2 hours after the first. I then gently squeezed to pot to remove as much excess water from the pot as possible.
Next feed I will flush the soil first with 6L of plain tap water then add my nutrients to a 2L bottle that I will then feed slowly to the soil✌️🏻
____________________________________
April 14th Day 41 - Plan seriously sick, new growth is getting clorosis and all over tips of the leaves are brown/orange. She’s still holding onto some fan leaves. Providing I can pull her through this il remove all the effected fans in the hope she will substitute by growing out other leaves.✌️🏻
April 17th - Day 44 spraying with a solution of:
B-52 1ml/L
Voodoo juice 1ml/L
Cal mag 1ml/L
It’s really helping when I LST and Defol, they literally bounce back within the Hour. Spray once a day until bloom. B-52 might slow stretch
_____________________________
April 19th - Day 46 💦Flushed heavy using the shower for 5mins then added nutrients to 2L bottle.
April 25th Day 52 - 💧Buds coming along nicely now, still loads of salt in the plant. I can taste it in her leaves, I fed her today as I flushed her last feed.. Next time I will do another leach and feed plain water again. I’m behind 1 week on the feed plan so I guess she will take 1-2 weeks longer to finish...
April 30th Day 57 - 💧put 5L through then added nutrients to next 5L although she’s pulling through her toxicity, she’s budding slowly and I doubt there will be any real weight to her. It’s a pitty as she started out so strong. On the plus side she smells so sweet, just like cookies. It’s not the end yet and I will definitely be putting another 2 in when these are all finished.
_____________________________
May 4th Day 61 - 💧watered with 1ml/L voodoo juice
1ml/L Rhizotonic
PK13/14
10L water through pot to try disolve salts. I’ve really fucked this one up the next 2 I’m praying will have no hiccups as this strain is great.
May 10th Day 67: 💧watered with 5L plain water. Im starting to neglect her now, it’s the worst time to make a mistake in flower.
In my defense of this mess she’s in It’s hard to juggle so many strains at the same time especially Autoflowers when they are in in different periods of life (veg/bloom). Next time I run her I will only be running 2 strains in future✌️🏻
_____________________________
May 11th Day 67: fed:
May 16th Day 73 - 💧Flushing for 2 weeks. Although I made a mistake with the nutrients and feeding, she bounced back to a certain extent... this is a good example of when you make a mistake with autos your yeild suffers as well as time take to grow. “Less is more” it’s always better to be closer to hungry than closer to overfed. The reason I say this is because you cloud be loading your soil up with undisolved nutrients.
I’m only unhappy with the size.
The smell and formation of the flowers are beautiful 🌷
Smells sweet candy like cookies. Chopped her fans off and dead leaves. She doesn’t need them now. Flushing for 10 days or till trichomes a little Amber want her to be for bed time.
_____________________________
May 26th Day 83 - 💧Flushing 10L pet flush warm water. Pulling 200ppm out of the soil second flush. Next time should be down to 100 I plan to chop her next weekend! Thanks for following✌️🏻
It was definitely a trip. I really neglected this gorilla, with a bit of tender love and care things turned around and she produced some sweet and sticky Flowers. Definitely at the top of my favourites. I will be running her again soon!
@bobo420, Good point👍🏼, I will be doing that on my Jack as these canna nutrients are pretty strong. When you say flush you mean flush😉
3x the volume of the soil? Or more?
@PharmaZ, a good flush takes care of that, I usually flush the plants 2 weeks into flower, to remove any leftover nutes and bring oxygen to the root. And by flush I mean flush, not water
@PharmaZ, Thanks again! I did have some LED burn with my Green Crack. I’ve since jacked the lights up much higher. One is inches from the top, glad I got the 6 footer 👍
@DudeGrowsWeed, Glad to say mine is 2'x4'x5' so a little less headroom, but I like to go for shorter strains and I'm using HPS so I don't need to have the lights as high👍🏼 Just picturing your plants in my tent haha, they look good in there😃
I had a look at your week 1 Diesel Auto, I've also had the same patterns on my leaves on a few grows,
I assume it's caused by LEDs, rapid growth or genetics. My fingers are crossed for you too dude and I'm sure they will take notice, you clearly have a green thum😜✌️🏻️
@PharmaZ, Thanks a lot! I’m pretty happy with my setup. It’s a 2’x4’x6’ tent. I have more details on the setup in the week 1 comments. I’m growing a RQS Diesel Automatic now, maybe they will take notice and hit me up too (fingers crossed)
@bobo420, Cheers Bro, I love the look of a well trimmed bush😜
I hope this GG is going to be wonderous.
ive never grown GSC or Gorrila hybrids so I'm eager to see this mix👍🏼
@Smokwiri, It says, over 20% on RQS website, by the looks of other grows they can't be far off with that estimation. They definitely look frosty & gooey👍🏼
@bobo420, I agree dude, will feed when the pot drys out, I've foliar fed her B-52 yesterday and today, il foliar feed once more then water when she's dry with a good feed, thanks bro👍🏼
Amazing grow!!! Defiantly informative thanks.
Ive started my first Auto grow of this fantastic strain. I wanted to know your thoughts of HST like topping ? Do you think you'd produce a larger yield?
Great diary !
@PharmaZ, thanks for your reply and advise. I'm using Humboldts Secret Nutrients A&B with the GoldenTree.
I think I'll top her with a Scrog so I can shape her in my 2x2 small grow.
@Masryflip, hey there sorry for late reply thanks for stopping by. Great strain to grow you will really enjoy it. Go easy on the nutrients she’s not a heavy feeder. What are you using for nutes?
HST May work well on this 1 topping as well as she grows fast in veg I’d say top at 6th node you would have yourself a nice Bush. I like LST as it’s a hands on approach you can really work the plant into a shape that fits your space. Good luck
@PharmaZ, not sure, haven't seen this strain before during the grow but judging by the rest of the grow, I'd say that she's not an extreme stretcher like some.
I just ordered some big bud coco for my garden... did it make an noticeable difference to the crop? im just looking to get the buds growing a bit faster lol
@Apprenticegrow420, It’s one of the additives I do like! It’s an old product tried and tested. I will say i read somewhere that the coco big bud was not as effective as the original version. But I can’t remember where sorry, could have been on here someone said that.
If you go to the search feature you can search for nutrients specifically then see the grows using it you can get a better idea of what it is you want.
Really you just need a&b and some carbs. Microbes are desired but extremely overpriced. Terpinator is good value, everyone swears by it and won’t grow without. Look it up
@AK1210, Thank you sir, she is indeed frosty. Smoked a 1g bud I took off and dried for 5 days, it was incredible. I’m so surprised after the grief I went through with this plant. I overfed the soil beginning of flower so she only produced half of what I think she could have. Thanks again, I’ll swing over to your profile now
