This little gorilla has put up a big fight already. She was soaked for germination the same time as some others but she refused to crack open and grow. 3 days after the other ones sprouted I manually cracked the seed with tweezers and she finally popped a root and came to life. Her leaf tips came out a little abnormal but she is growing and making steady progress now. She is in a 5 gallon Dutch bucket with 24 hour recirculation and 24 hour lighting. For now we just watch and wait until she is big enough to top and train a little.
Topped her on day 11 and upped the maxigro a little. She is making steady progress. I expect her to take off in the next few days. Will start some training before the end of week 3. Just another boring plant at this point but stick around for a while and I bet that will change....
Started a little training this week. This plant is pretty bushy with tight nodes. Will be doing some more training and a little defoliation over the next week to get her ready for flower. Other than that, just watching and waiting
This platinum gorilla is looking pretty good. She is pretty bushy even though she got some training this week. I just flipped them to flower so should be seeing some stretch soon
Switched them to flower about a week ago and this platinum gorilla seems to be the slowest to show signs of transitioning. She isn't putting on any stretch like all the other plants. I'm hoping to see her start stretching those legs so she has some room to put on some fat buds. Her leaves are already starting to put on some little sugary frost. Looks like @wildeweed might have boxed up a fat diamond when he sent this little gem to me. Looking forward to seeing how she develops over the next couple weeks. I did a complete water change today and started them on a light dose of maxibloom. That will be slowly increased as the maxigro is lowered over the next couple weeks.
This girl is finally starting to put on a little stretch, but she is still by far the shortest plant of the bunch. I lifted her up about 3 inches so she doesnt get completely smothered out over the next week. I will lift her another 3 inches if she doesnt make more upward progress soon. I moved her to the front of the room for easy access since she need daily defoliation being as bushy as she it. She is definitely different than any in house strain I have seen. Besides that she is a happy girl. Starting to see a few pistils and she is transitioning. The scrog setup is working great for the plants that have grown through it. It is really going to help me put each top where I want it and keep them spread out so more of those lower branches can make their way up. So far everything is running nice and smooth just the way we like it.
A few days late on the update for this one. She is the shortest plant in the bunch and looking like she is going to put on some nice buds. Gave them a pinch of beastie bloomz today so they have plenty of feed to build those buds
Gave the girls a flush and a complete water change this week. That was only the second water change they have had this grow. I have just been letting them drink the reservoir almost empty and then filling it up with fresh nutes. The 5 plants are drinking about 4 gallons a day combined. Been running AC when the lights are on and the dehumidifier 24 hours a day. All of the plants are showing some decent trichome production. Running 1/2 tsp maxibloom and 1/8 tsp beastie bloomz per gallon every time I add water. Seems to be keeping everyone happy.
They survived another week. Lowered the temp to 72 for the remainder of the grow. Wanting to see if it adds anything to the flavors and aroma. Just going to keep the juice pumping until they dont want anymore.
