Day 42 Flowering: Another great week creating some beautiful looking buds and plenty of trichrome action too.
The #1 has begun to colour up her bids now with orange hairs as she matures more. Still.lots of fresh and new pistils being put out too but it is giving her a nicer ripened appeal to her tight , fluffy edged buds. Her gorilla glue genetics are certainly visible along with her twin #3 who is also putting effort into her bud production now.
#2 is turning into an amazing looking plant amd i amd so impressed with the teichrome production now. Her pitch black/purples are being covered in a snowy coating of heavily built up trichromes. Her buds are so tightly packed in too with very little leaf among them. Her main leaves are turning some very nice autumn leaf colours among the dying off ones . I think she needed feeding earlier in her flowering period to have given her the better boost but the mature looking fade away on also a good sign of her intentions to harvest soon.
#4 is approx a week behind the other 3 and is beginning to look very similar to the #2 now so could be the same pheno after all. She has some real appeal on the stems, I just wish they were all a lot bigger .lol The pictures do not do the beauty of the strain justice at all but the video is at least a little more able to show the differences better. They are really pumping out some funk now as soon as I go up the ladder you can smell the danger of the potency ahead.lol
Up close and touched they smell so sweet with a hint of chocolate I think!. Lets see how they end up.
All in all a good week and now hopefully the swelling starts before the final two weeks to ripen come into play. Be safe and well Growmies.
Sweet cheese looks like an advert for an auto grow with her visual appearance. classic Christmas tree with thick main and growing side branches. Her leaf to bud ratio is not very impressive but if she coats with trichs well enough, then trimming the leaves into the final manicure will be OK i think.
@Ferenc,May have a good point on the environment. lights off for 4 hours dripsnthe temonway below the usual range and often only around 12Β° 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 π
@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.
