I have today given the plants 1 l. of fertilizer with a wire value of 2000 ppm. since none of the plants stretch, I am from today not giving them more fishmix and replacing it with grow as I want the plants to dedicate them to flower production. The GGs are stopped between 40 to 45 cm, both the WCs and the GBs are around 60-65 cm. I have chosen that I only lightly thin out the lower side shoots and let them retain as much leaf material as possible, to ensure that there is maximum sugar production from the leaves, so I for utilized as much CO2 as possible. CO2 is between 800 and up to 1300 ppm. Since they are 7 weeks old today, it was the last time that the GGs got feed and they only get water from here. The WCs and GBs get 1 to 2 times more feed before they also go into the final flush.

the 3 WCs today received 1 l. of fertilizer / soil improvers with a line value of 2200 ppm. The WCs must have fertilizer for at least 2 more weeks, so there is a good chance of a really nice harvest compared to the other 2 varieties. for the 4 GGs I must say that it has surprised me a lot that no more flowers can be drawn than as in the first experiment with GG. in the previous grow I had 6 plants with me and the dried weight was between 53 and 86 grams. the average of the 6 plants was 66 grams per plant and I have expected in this grow, to get an average of about 80 grams per plant. it does not seem to hold water and I think the average will be as in the previous grow. I know then with myself, I never really become a fan of autoflowers, I feel like something is missing something essential, like normal plants, absence of stress. I suffer a bit from ptsd and the fact that there are only AF plants in the tent, I have been able to feel a clear difference, compared to the previous grow where half of the plants were normal plants and the whole grow stretched from August to the end of December. due to the normal plants I chose to run 18/6 with the light, which had the dull effect on the GGs that they were only ready for harvest after a little over 11 weeks and the flowering phase was delayed by almost 3 weeks for the normal plants. You can see the past in my first diaries. on the other hand, both the WCs and the 2 GBs look really promising and seem to like that I do not peel too much into them and have started to develop their flowers. The GGs and GBs should be close to harvest. but since they have only got 20/4 in light, I expect them to be ready in 2 to 3 weeks from now and probably up to 5 weeks before the WCs are ready for harvest. my spring I start around 1-4-21 and the plants that need to go out (normal varieties) + the ones that need to be in the tent and they are then allowed to divide the tent into soil and the weather is warm enough for planting I think it will be 10 plants divided into 3 maybe 4 varieties. 4 for the tent and 6 planting in the garden.
has to be my favourite strain
gg4 is a winner. I always manage to get a gg hybrid in my grows. just completed a gorilla Girl auto xl that was an amazing grown and yield. approx 330g from 4 plants. got to love the simple "pot and leave " of autos. lol
