Day 35 flowering: Hi all. We are well onto the flowering periods now amd all the girls are beginning to smell and throw out lots of trichromes . The appearance and colours are also really coming out now for the different phenos is clearly have running. I think i have 3 differing ones on close inspection. #1and 3 are the same but #2and 4 are noticably different so far. #2 has very tightly formed raggy looking style buds and 4 has really open spikey looking ones.They have slightly different node distances too which effects hownthey cluster up.
The colour contrast is slightly different between them too.
The aromas is a fruity sweet one mainly and is starting to come out .
With approx 3 full weeks to go , things will hopefully get swelling up now and adding the weight too. Still only needing the minimum waterings it seems and the wet /dry cycle makes this a very simple grow. The strain has been simple to work with so far and well worth the effort.
Sweet cheese is about a week behind the other girls and is forming up in her natural shape well thensides look measly compared to the trained ladies I am used to working with but her main has some serious potential now. I can see how her main will become the donkey dick that I see on normal grows done natural but sjebhas a lot of leaf to bud at this time , so let's see how it ends up.
be safe and well folks. peace and love
GGD.
@Ferenc,May have a good point on the environment. lights off for 4 hours dripsnthe temonway below the usual range and often only around 12ยฐ c if good. the cold/fresh air intake is on their side of the room too.
@DreamOn,Thank you dream. looking forward to this one. only 2nd auto grow tried as usually a photoperiod grower. The growth rates surprised the hell out of me last one I did.lol
ready for anything this time round . Welcome aboard
Thanks you. The appeal of them is them is all round too. I do love gg4 as a strain and seeing so many hybrids with it in them , the choices are endless. I am happy with this choice and the results it produced. Thanks for the support.
@GuerrillaNo_4,name seemed the most fitting one. Father of 8 ( 9 in July 2021) grandad to 7 so far. Will change it to " burnt out and flat broke daddy" soon enough .lol
On the heat, I ran 2x 600w hps for decades so even winter had me trying to scrub heat constantly , now I have to add a small greenhouse heater for the coldest snaps so the heat difference is more obvious. The cooling works really well on the units and heat is mainly within a few inches of the power. They come with and extra 2m cord that allows the pack to easily be mounted outside the room and no heat at all in the room from it. brilliant idea from Mars fixed so simply. Even with all three lights on in summer , I was able to cool it enough without an issue.
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks my friend. Glad to hear about the heat. I already run upto 29'C so can't increase the heat much at all.
Love the Username too buddy ๐
@GuerrillaNo_4,youbwont regret it at all. very capable light and runs fairly cool for so much power. easy to cool with a small fan if needed. Nice choice.
My gorilla girl looks to close to your week 8. Still adding an inch or two a day. With small bud sites. Your grow looks good. Looks like you'll get a nice haul.
@Walleyeguy,cheers buddy. hoping they lengthen now. halfway point give or take a few day. Just caught one of my new seedlings pushing nanners out. only 3 weeks oils but def nanners. gutting.
@Smokwiri,thank you. getting to the nice part now just watching them fatten up amd grow. Always seems like miles away till we get here then drags till the end. lol be well
@Smokwiri,Thank you Smokwiri. I love having a diary to record how things went and things I try, helps find useful ways that work for me. Love sharing with the community here too. We get to meet lots of other growers to share info with too. Everyone has a contribution worthy of a few lines. wish there was a social platform to use besides the single chat though. welcome aboard , please feel feel free to comment anytime.
@PurpleWorship,sadly it was too damaged too take or too far into new flowering cycle. it only survived a day . I used silver ducting tape as it is really tacky but can come off easily too.
