12/15:
Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12.
12/16:
Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy.
12/17:
Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍
The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.
@Inganjawetrust, Ya man..I definitely can't afford to illuminate any bare floor!
Right...such a weirdo plant, but she's frosty as fuck, so..no complaints from me!
@rhodes68, OMG..I can't even imagine how big the Gorilla Girl XL's get!
...these "normal" ones have stretched from 6 inches to about 54 inches now...crazy...that's about 900%
@rhodes68, They were a little slow to take off, but have awesome structure and fatass indica leaves that constantly pray to the "sun."
I'm really enjoying the Gorilla Cookies from my last run, so I think I'm gonna like it....
@MrJones, Nah, they train themselves to do that...as long as they are all pretty much the same size initially, and as long as I keep the lights far enough away from them, they compete for who will get the best light, and they end up stretching their lowers too. I supercrop anybody who's too tall, and that causes their lowers to quickly grow to compete for apical dominance. I do use bamboo stakes and tie wire sometimes, but they are propping one another up for the most part.
At the end of a grow, when the buds are really heavy, it's always funny to see how they react to not having their sisters helping them stay upright when I pull them out of the closet...
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 9 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, Oh, hell yeah! Still got several jars of Dark Devil, barely touched either of the Zenzations, and looks like both Gorilla Girls will weigh in at about a half-pound each (225ish grams). One of the Black Jacks is also almost as heavy....and the "little one" is gonna bring in about 180g!!
Whoohoo!!
@Stellarock69, No worries..I flush the hell out of them with a chelating agent and hot tap water before I harvest...at least 8 gallons each, and sometimes twice that. In the summer, I usually put whatever pots aren't in use into a kiddie pool full of sun-heated water and let them sit for a couple of days. In winter, I usually just use new pots..like these...12 of 16 were brand new a month ago. Also, a lot of that white coloration is actually from the dolomite and azomite I amended the soil with.
