BASIC INFO ,
Plants have been amazing this week and are putting on some nice aromas and density on the buds , I hate to touch them but sometimes it's a must to make sure there at full weight
All plants are doing amazing I have all plants one last feed of
GHE flora tri part
Grow 50%
Micro 60%
Bloom 100%
Apart from this one feed it's been RIPEN GHE 3ml/L
Plants -
GORILLA GIRL
No.1 pheno has gained some more density I didn't think it's possible but she's a bud producing monster
No.2 small topped plant / mutation extra bud site and fan leaf per node leaving 3 of each instead of two has smaller rock hard buds going from the bottom right up for a small plant she's got plenty of flower
No.3 pheno , UNTOPPED or UN-TRAINED has done well thoe buds and performance wasn't as good as the topped plants also bud structure is less dense thoe more of it the buds won't weight up to even the smaller plants as there buds at the moment are like bricks . All three remaining gorilla girls are doing great
Extra note the no.1 pheno GG is getting some crazy fall colours looking amazing
CREAM MANDARIN XL AUTO
X2 TOPPED and TRAINED plants have done amazing with some seriously big dense frosty buds I can't speak highly enough of the gorilla girl but also this cream Mandarin has shown very stable gentics as these two plants grew nearly the same apart from pistles colour they don't pretty much equal .
Plants do have a nice orange smell
NO TRAINING OR TOPPING plant has done well with plenty of buds and flower site thoe.size and density doesn't match the topped and trained plants which performed alot better and quicker than I expected. This plant buds aren't as dense but still desent sized flower for no help and at time the lights where down to 400w per square meter
BLACK CREAM AUTO
I love this strain last time it was fruity and tropical flavours which is different than the more dank smokes like gorilla girl . I haven't been impressed with this strain for yeild but I sort of didn't expect it either so I'm not going to count this in my harvest report the small plant is nearly done the big green girl has saved my rating for this plant as it's created alot of flower . Bigger in size structure although it's lacking density but it's still away to go before I harvest as you would all know the plants need time to gained weight.
BASIC INFO ON CONDITIONS
lights now 24/7 last two weeks
Only using RIPEN GHE from now until harvest
45% RH controlled auto
Temp 21oC controlled auto
1.5 liter of water per plant per day
Both lights 600w if temps drop another 3oC I'll put them both on 660w ..
I've noticed from turning to 24 hour light all the buds have started gaining alot more density alot more than I expected some on the gorilla girl and cream Mandarin are massive dense buds . Bigger than your normal grinder
These girls are very close to harvest all less than 21 days I don't want to say 14 incase I'm wrong and these girls want more time but the 24 hour light I think might speed it up as I've noticed better performance out of 24 hour light with autoflowers if you can provide low temps high light output ..24oC or less not to damage any flowers with too high temps consistently wearing down leaves during flowering could impact harvest
This week has been amazing growth has not stopped and some plants are going into controlled depignentation .
Please follow and like
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
