MONSTER GROWTH
Two weeks from seed and 7inch in height is amazing growth around 21cm . Girls had there frist nutes , they have been growing so fast if I wasn't to give them a light feed I could hurt growth if they where lacking N especially at this point .
Growing conditions
18/6
Day 25oC
Night 18oC
Nutes 100%
All 12 plants are doing amazing thoe the cream Mandarin xl auto is showing show good XL traits
Gorilla girl we expect to be more stout and thicker stemmed
Black cream I expect to grow really well as these tend to have a fast harvest time
Having a tempuature control until during veg and heaters for lights off to maintain a steady tempuature has greatly increased growth rate by about 200% the frist week . The growth rate over all is amazing equals to more than 2/3 " inch growth per 24/hours
Also where running the girls under x2 400w HIDs this has also showed better growth overall . So changing up to 600w would only be done now under careful consideration as the 400ws have a cross section meaning each light overs the whole room thoe 2 lights give a more even coverage towards the edges of the grow room .
Are lights are hung approx 36 inch above canopy any will not get any closer during the whole grow as some point they will only be raised to keep a steady 3 foot gap between light and canopy if I need more light there a 600w and also 660w super lumen setting to achieve more output.
So growth has been amazing and I can't get round how much extra growth with the lower setting in light and tempuature controller and heater has changed conditions thoe aloud some amazing results ... if your wondering is it worth the 50ยฃ why yes it is .... Anyone needing info on setup I'd be glad to help
Unfortunately we've had to remove one black cream auto as she started to devolope male parts as well as female parts (hermi) so she got the cut... 11 girls still remain
Topped 9 of the girls after topping two plants and they should no slower growth or problems , it did slow growth by about 12 hours before lights out plants where doing super so another 6 got there heads cut off meaning with 9 plants we have 18 new tops and 21 tops altogether now
Also broke a branch on a plant yesterday noticed it looking like shit today so pulled it off
Also lights moved and airflow out increased as temps warm up I don't want GG genetics turning hermi as it has GORILLA GLUE #4 GENITICS which was a hermi itself ... but high high THC
@Lukush, check the new harvest phtots the big green on is in the description it's the photo of the plant still standing in the background is that big black cream although it's green in colour
@Lukush, I will do I can't belive the size of the green black cream she's released from the netting and she's massive I'll need to tie her back with some LST as her buds are just forming and are on course to dwarf the last set , smells quite fruity with all 3 plants but looking at the green black cream is werid
@Lukush, I got one out of the auto mix pack only plant that fitted the bill thoe out of a collected bunch the black cream are doing the best . Thoe in there own right the gorilla girl xl auto and the cream Mandarin xl auto are doing nearly just as good
@Igrowneil, love a game plan and sounds like u got it all mapped out, a fair few seeds ur popping fingers crossed u get 100% germination ๐ค i have heard and researched into dropping the temperature its risky im sure 2 weeks was the limit off the top of my head, as is darkness forn2 days before harvest. Im following u so will keep me eyes open andbget feedback I ain't got the fundamentals or the space to do that just yet but once I'm further into my development wouldn't mind giving ur technique a go myself. Fingers crossed u will have some seriously resinous smoke once harvest. Thanks for sharing technique, knowledge is power and in this game all these little tweaks help..
Happy growing mate and I hope ur next harvest is fruitful ๐ฏ๐ฏ
@Syrunz, germinating 12 , x4 gorilla girl xl auto, x4 black cream auto and , x4 cream Mandarin xl auto hopefully all 12 pop as I'm looking forwards to this grow as my 1st and 2nd ever grows turned out pretty good , now where back with double the power double the plants in the same size space as the last grow a lot more equipment to keep the environment stable at specific ranges through out the grow
as the week go on I'll reduce the temp towards 16oc will be the final day temp and night temp will be 3oc I'll also in the last two weeks before chop ill reduce the light to 400w to mimic winter coming along with the tempuature droping off over the days , this is the point the plant should produce more resin to protect the flower .... it happens with nature I could destroy a full harvest but it's worth a shot to improve THC degradation to a minimum amount heat and light both destroy the THC I believe so tempuature reduction done in a very slow and controlled manner should in theory be better for the plants flowers. I do belive I'll get the XL plants to 3 foot alone with the black cream in a ScroG type grow or LST I haven't fully decided yet
