Day 7 for the 2 biggest, the last and smallest one was growing the wrong way, so I flipped it around a couple of days later... This is only my 4 grow, so im still pretty green in the game... But is it normal for Gorilla Cookies auto from Fast Buds, to grow this slow..? I had one plant in my former grow, a Girl Scout Cookies from Fast Buds also, that was as slow as these ones - but i thought it was a single case of bad ghenetics then..! Can it really be true, this slow growth..?

It was my plan to give them step 3 in the Bio-tabs manual, 2 biotabs in each pot today. And step 4, with one teaspoon of Bactrex and 5 ml. Organtrex in one liter of water also... But i honestly dont know if i have to cut them down, and start all over instead of using more time and money... They are very small and a bit yellow in it... What do the experienced growers, or Fast Buds say..? Im thinking it is either the top soil (Champost såjord) or the seeds that is the problem... Or is this strain just really slow..? https://champost.dk/produkter/saajord/

Dude just start the seeds in smaller cups to begin with. Much much easier to get watering right when they’re still small. I know you shouldn’t repot autos but I started my last lot of g’ cookies auto in some old Starbucks cups and repotted them up to 5gal after 2 weeks. - They turned into monsters. So, 1st 2 weeks in small pots. If they’re in soil only water for that long, they don’t need anything more than what’s in the soil already. And only water when the cups feel light. That’s it! I’m a total noob but have now grown 5 g’cookies successfully doing the above with 0 fails. Stress free & easy. Up to you dude

@ORGANOMAN 😊 Thanks for answaring, but. 1. They do, if rh is to low. In the tent it's only 40% and under the mini domes it's 65-80%. Witch also answaring your point nr. 2. 3. Its a auto plant, and Mephistos ghenetics give their plants 24 hours of light. So no problem there either, they dont need sleep, and in the flowering state it prevents mold in the buds, and thats the reason i run the lights 24/7. 4. The pots is not dry, only the top 2 cm. And Its not coco, its organic willow. The picture is taken right before watering, and the reson it looks like I just water around the plants, is beacurse of the mini domes - again a good help... I just added the tabs yesterday, just like they also do at Mephistos. Autos dont need fertilizer the first 14 days, in fact you could kill them if you give it to them.. And well the reason i started with the tabs is beacurse it is easier... I desided to give 2 of them a last chance, and monday i will get som new soil.. Witch will show if its bad ghenetics, or if its the soil, there is the problem... Hope this helps, harsh as it may be... KISS Hehe 😉

Personally, I would consider starting again, they are almost at the age when flowering is about to commence. A few things going on here that I personally would suggest doing differently. 1 - seedlings do not need covers/plastic bottles, they need good air exchange. 2 - there is no need for towels with water tubs everywhere, one maybe, but 3, not and not saucers everywhere either. There should be enough "free" humidity just evaporating from correctly watered pots. Cannabis does not need excessively high humidity, it is not a rainforest plant. 3 - going to a proven 18/6 schedule - no plant can grow optimally without a normal and natural grow/sleep/grow/sleep/grow/sleep cycle. 4 - watering the whole pot, from side to side and deeply. This last point is most probably the reason for the poor growth. Your pots look incredibly dry and as though you are only watering small amounts and only near the stem. This means the plant tabs can not dissolve and release nutrients as they are designed to work and the dry substrate means the roots won't "explore" and expand away from the immediate damp area near the stem. If the plant tabs are 2-4 inches away, there is no way the roots will access any dissolved nutrients, if indeed, there are any freely available in the substrate at all. At this stage in an autos' life cycle, I don't believe there is much that can be done to remedy the situation and achieve any great growth before flowering kicks in. Next time, try using liquid nutrients, they are much easier to disperse throughout the entire pot and are more readily absorbed by the roots. Hope this helps, harsh as it may be. ...... Organoman.

Day 21 I Decided to keep them, at least till I find out what seems to be the problem. I will test the soils ph, wehn I get the test kid in my mail.. The 2 biggest got 2 Biotabs each, and 1 thespoon Bactrex and 5 ml. Organtrex in 1 liter water on day 14. On day 21 they got topped, after 3 note... If the growth was normal, i would have done that at day 17 max. The small one got half the dosis at day 19, and is not going to be topped at all... I hope of, it catching up with its big sisters... If not, well its an experiment anyways now so... Have a nice one folks, thats all for now😁🥕🐰

Day 35 😊 Preflowering startet at day 29... I finally got my soil ph test kit in my mail, tested my soil and it was ph 7. A bit to high, but i dont think that was the reason, of the poor and slow groth in the beginning of the grow..! Next time growing Gorilla Cookies autos I will try to give them water with ph 6.5 from start, and add the first Bio-tab and the Bactrex and Organtrex solution, at day 7.. To see if they grow a bit faster from start... Did some LST, the last week, and later today, I will give them a Bio-tab each more... Hope they catch up, and get a good stretch on, the next couple of weeks... Have a nice weekend 😊

Day 42 😊 Well the girls is for sure catching up... Did some LST, in the start of the week, and im hoping they will stretch 15 cm. Or more, the next couple of weeks. I raised my LED about 10 cm. Becurse I dont know if its the light, or the fertilizer, that is burning the tip of my leaves... Adding one Bio-tab, to each pot tomorrow. Happy easter folks 🐰🐑🐣

Day 49 😊🌱 The past week they were fed the Bio-tabs solution from week 5 in the manual, half on day 45 and half on day 47. The half-wit (left one in the back) really made a good catch up, it decided to top itself a couple of weeks ago - or somthing.!? And now got 2 tops on one of the buds, but I am very happy about that now. Becurse it looks like, it just is going to be a little bit taller, than the 2 others. So overall a nice even canopy, I hopefully will end up with. I dont think they will stretch much more now, but I would have loved to see them fill out the top of my tent, for a bigger yeild. 😁 So I decided to give 1ml. Each of Bio-tabs pk 5-8 today. And im going to up it, until the ladies burn a bit more 🌱🔥 I heard Gorilla Cookies, can take a lot of fertilizer... 😊 Thats all... See you next week 😊

Dat 56 😊 Stretch is over now. The half-wit (back left) is living two lifes on it's own now, one side is higher, more green and about a week after the other site, with the two heads on one bud. I think i either burned the ladies a bit with my PK Booster, or wehn i lowered my lamp to 40 cm. From the tops.. So i raised my LED a bit, and gave them pure water for 2 days... I don't think they can take more PK, than 2 ml. Pr liter. Not yet anyways, but I will try to upp it again later on.. Pretty glad I didn't chop them down in week 3, cuz they are looking pretty nice now I think... 👌🏼👍🏼😊 Have a nice weekend 💦🌱

Day 63 😊 Seen a lot of discoloration the past week, and I honestly dont know if it's the N toxicity there is showing it's signs now, or what the deal is.🔥🌱 I dont think the problem was light related, and the buds doesn't seem to care yet - so I dont either... 😊 First brown pistils occurred 3 days ago, im thinking it still needs about 3 weeks time to finish, so I cut down on the pk booster to half a ml. Pr. Liter. For now - not to burn the ladies anymore... I dont think Gorilla Cookies, can take so much fertilizer as i have heard/read - not mine anyways... The half-wit (back left) is looking better now, and it got one Bio-tab less.. But it's also a bit behind in growth, so we will see in about a weeks time.. Have a nice one 😊🌱😊

Don't worry they will soon start. 1st few weeks always seem to take ages for the plants to really start shifting.

Indicacommented4 years ago
@Rabidreject, ok I see 😊 If it wasent a problem here with to high RH, most of the year and the power price for having a dehumidifier running wehn the lights were off. I would only run photos... I had some Mephisto autos that I didn't touch at all, they finished after 8-9 weeks.. All of the other auto strains I had for about 12-14 weeks, but i also topped them.. Not much longer time period here for photos, and autos are a lot easier to fuck up, even wehn using Bio-tabs... So I might go back to photos again I would say... A shame i cant send a picture of my Zoombie kush, it was really a easy going beauty, that finish in about 15 weeks and it really got a good amount of topping and was tied down a lot. 😊🌱 But that yust my 5 cents 😉

@Indica,I do have 1 photo strain just starting to flower that is mainlined and scrogg’d ayahuasca purple by barneys farm. It’s just in impractabilities of having two tents and light shedules and space. Also they are just so dam quick. You REALLY have to prick your breeder well with autos tho.
