FRIST 21 DAYS FROM SEED
All 12 girls remain healthy,
BLACK CREAM
noticed a few spot on the x4black cream and I'm not sure if there from feeding , IPM spray or I used a bottle from last grow and I think there might have been salts in the bottom .. Nothing major but something that did catch my attention. And I was aware of from lights on .
GORILLA GIRL
really good growth from all very strudy looking structure going on and looks like very good root growth , good to see the smaller girl starting to grow faster also she's the smallest from seed at only 5 inch tall she's half the size of the biggest thinking about topping any girls who aren't in flower I have noticed a pistles on one gorilla girl so she was frist to flower at 20days from seed .
CREAM MANDARIN
Yet again the WINNER of the week goes to the no.1 pheno of the cream Mandarin very rigours growth growing both height , leaf spam nodes and root system sucking up that water quicker than any other girl either making her a better plant ... giving some of the girl an extra day between watering . Amazing photos show the true scale of this girl and how quickly she's devolped might have me in serious height related issue but I do realise LST be in order but seriouslywe will worrie about that soon and start prepping for the growth explosion that's about to unfold around us ... aiming for a total of 750 grams of all 12 girls
Growth -
4 black creams stand on Avg 10.5" . Inch
4 gorilla girl stand on Avg 8.5" inch
4 cream Mandarin stand Avg 11.5" inch
Lighting 18 - 6 x2 600w HIDs
Night . Tempuature controller 21oc
Nutes 50% recommend micro and bloom 100% grow
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
