As we enter week 8 on day 50 they are getting fatter than hell I'm really satisfied with my first grow. I was trying to set the bar low so I didn't disappoint myself after tons of rookie mistakes but this is going really well.
Since upgrading to the 240w I'm battling heat a little bit more but it's manageable I have it set to around 80% which is still more watts than the ts1000 I am now using for veg.
Day 52 did some pretty solid defoliation on the girls, the Gorilla is honestly so thick, especially with the sea of green style I want to prevent budrot and make sure all these nugs get plenty of light.
The stigmas on the northern lights are all starting to turn a really pretty orange. The nugs are growing a little taller and slimmer but there's less leaf and the buds appear a little more dense. One lower on the NL was just growing directly into the side of the tent so I did some super cropping to get her standing up and seeing light.
Last day of week 8 I'm pretty sure I got a 70 or so day chop. I completely fixed the heat issue in the tent. I had an air purifier just standing in the tent for extra air circulation and smell reduction but I actually stuck it right in the lower duct as another exhaust at the bottom. Now there is an exhaust at the top and bottom and a good nice opening for air intake from the main room. The airflow is so good that it actually gets warmer when I open it up. I think it's sticking around 25°c with the light at 100% compared to before when it was around 30°c at 80%
Funny enough, I have gorilla based strain and a northern lights cross running.
My seeds popped the opposite to yours. Northern first in a day or so and Gorilla took about 3 😂
