New week starts! ☀️12.10.2023 Pre-flowering state begins! There are white stigmas on the top of every plant. My garden is full of nice green bushes. But I'm still worring about they tall: maybe I'll use a SCROG net later, we'll see. Another deal is a roots coming from lower part of trunks. It's because of 80% humadity in the box bottom. I should mount one more ventilator to aerate it. ☀️14.10.2023 78cm tall plants are too large for my box. I considered to mount a SCROG net and another 100w LED lamp to bend them down and give more light. Pre-flowering goes on...

sound week on the soil. this grow is really lovely. starting to see some promising bud sites. I think i might trim too much but i want the buds to get the light. topped them and they recovered very fast. still yet to see some purple. dont want to mess with pH just yet

Keeping the plant watered the leaves are looking a little suspect, which I will keep an eye on. Nothing much else to report this week. Thanks for checking in this week 😁💚✌️🌱🙌

March 17, Day 76: As written I collected the last three plants. At the moment I got a partial of 224 grams from the first three plants and I think of doubling with the last three. Among the latter is the plant with the largest bud which obviously becomes my favorite. This time I managed to take photographs of the plants before cutting them. With these last three plants I got the most productive plant, the one with the largest bud and the one with the longest bud 😉 For a final report on this strain: The Gorilla by RQS is an excellent strain for anyone who loves a high THC content and I particularly recommend it to growers who pass for the first time from photoiperiods to autoflowering. You will grow very large and very productive plants very similar to photoperiodic ones. This strain branches out a lot and must be defoliated and de-branched. You can grow it well with the SCROG technique, but if like me you have no space problems you can also use the Sea Of Green technique. In conclusion I want to thank all the growers who have followed this my first diary to which I have a happy growth! A big thanks also to GrowDiaries and to the whole team for having created the best social network dedicated to the world of growers 👏💪😉 March 24 Final Report: Hi growers, with this last post I'm going to close my first diary. First I have to say that I am very satisfied with the total harvest, from the last three plants I got 369 grams which added to the 224 of the previous harvest make a total of 593 grams. I started this diary with 8 Gorillas and 2 Cheese. 6 Gorillas completed their cycle in the same time frame, the 2 remaining gorillas showed a photoperiodic genetic predominance, one of them is in an advanced flowering phase while the last one after three months still shows only a few pistils. I'll probably kill her, and move on by putting new seeds in the soil. Unfortunately, where I live is illegal to grow marijuana, otherwise I would have simply moved outdoors, but I can't and must be ruthless. Regarding the two cheeses there is not much left at the end of their cycle and I started to give only water to one of the two plants. Good and happy growth to all! 😜

12.9 4th veg week done.. Healthy girls now. Blue fire's showed some signs that root space was running low and also nitrogen def. but got it under control and girls are now in final homes. Blue Fires are in 11L plastic pots and the New's in 16L root pouches. They got used to new homes pretty fast and were growing more the next day moved 👌 No hussle there. This is where sometimes I have burned extra time when messing with trasplanting. Maybe rhizotonic had something to do with this. Using it for the first time now. I mixed my soil 75% soil and 25% coco.. usually it's 50/50 but I like to tweak thing a little to see what's up 😉😎🙏 I topped all girls yesterday. Aiming for 6-8 tops in every plant and gonna insert netting there and also use stakes to part that space. Ok happy growing to everyone and thanks for stopping by! 🙏👽

The girls are hungry! Despite seeing some nitrogen excess they are still wanting more phosphorus. The Bonnie and Clyde have been a bit of a learning curve, but overall, I’m very happy with these Autoflowers so far! Some of the biggest I’ve grown to date. Humidity has been a struggle this week, trying to keep my VPD on point. Otherwise it’s been a good week of growth. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦🌱❤️😎💨

Day 79 - Gonna begin flushing in preparation for chop this friday. I think she will be perfect by then because I am already seeing all cloudy and a few ambers here and there. Let me know what you guys think! Flush this week and chop? Day 84 - Chopped her last night! Will update with harvest info in 1 more week :) STAY TUNED!

Day 89 - pH thing has been quite steady the last few days, but I think part of the reason is I have been keeping it over 6 (between 6.1 & 6.3) which makes me think it may not be able to feed on something so keeps pH stable (This pH issue could be root acidification with too much Potassium; it seems to coincide with the PK Warrior being added - pH needs to be below 6 for Potassium uptake to happen so I artificially blocked it by keeping pH above 6!!!). EC also going up but not as quick as it was...drops back further than it was when adding RO water (i.e. if it drank 10L and EC went from 1.7 to 1.9, adding 10L back takes it to 1.6). So, as I have been promising myself for the last couple of days, I did a full tank change. Have dropped the feed substantially for the start of week 7 (Which is technically Monday coming). New Nute Strength: Silicon - 1ml/L Sumo Boost - 2ml/L Bloom A - 1.2ml/L Bloom B - 1.2ml/L PK Warrior - 0.4ml/L Sensizym - 2ml/L Fulvic - 2ml/L EC 0.8, pH 5.9 Did have A & B @ 1ml/L but EC was barely 0.7 (Background EC of water is 0.2) so added the touch more A&B so as not to super starve them. Will now monitor pH/EC for the next few days and try to keep levels nice and even for the next 9-10 days before going to week 8 force and week 9 flush and the finishing bulb! ************************************************* Day 85 - Dayum this pH management getting funky now!!! For the last week, pH keeps taking a nose dive (0.5-0.7 a day) with water level dropping and EC rising. Can't work out what the girls are at at all. Apart from lower leaf loss due to light being blocked, the plant is creating some new leaf matter (As you would expect) where light is getting reflected down low but can't work out the pH drops. No matter what EC i set them too, or pH, they only appear to be taking on water...or something micro (Ca/MG or the likes) and leaving the macro's. Topped up tank with some RO (Reclaimed from dehumidifier) water and only added calmag since tank change 3 nights back (It has some N in it for the new green and hopefully just gives what it needs with Ca/Mg). Apart from that, just keeping an eye on things to make sure no burn...dont want to put them on a starve on the beginning of Flower week 6!!!

Day 21: . Wow these girls can grow fast. Having spent decades growing photoperiod strains and with only 1 Autoflower grow previously , I am astounded by the rate at which they grow daily. Watching the fan leaves gain so much size each day and the stems thickening alongside them shows their ability to rapidly cycle through their stages. The Gorilla girls are doing so well and even the mutant#4 is starting to settlenin and gain a nice colour to her. I do think the up pot has affected her height and development initially but hope she will catch up now. I have started to train the #2 GG with a 90° bend to her 5th node. I plan to keep them bent over like this until the lower nodes catch up and begin to develop as mains too. This is to avoid any topping at all as I want to see if this is a viable option with my room size. I used the forefinger and thumb method to gently crush the stem by rolling with slight pressure until I felt it soften enough to apply the bend but not too damaged to slow the growth to any note. Seeing how so many autos have a huge main stem that seems to form the upper part of the good yields from them , I thought I could keep it around but held down to still break the apical dominance. fingers crossed. The Sweet cheese is getting herself set for a burst of growth too I think. she is a few days behind the others but looks happy enough. I am hoping to get to week 5 before they hit their flowering run to gain enough size to fill my space used and seeing their rapid speed , they just might do that. Until next time Growmies , be safe and well.

1/16 - got the first topping done for the mainline. Cleaned up the rest of the shoots below. Excited to do a proper mainline for the first time!! Going for 8 tops 1/21 - pretty sure I overfed her! She will be getting phed water next feeding. She's coming along though! I may not cut her for another week to let her fully recover and start thriving again 1/23 - not topping her just yet, she is still developing that 3rd node on the 2 mains so I will shop her in a few days and clean up some of the lower stuff. Knuckles looking thick!

Things are trucking along nice and fast. Buds visibly bigger by the day. Nice trichome development going on. Not much smell unless you agitate them and they go crazy.

Última semana y los cogollos siguen creciendo y pasaron a tener unos tonos morados que es muestra su maduración, el olor también se puso mucho más intenso. Al parece le queda 1 semana y cumplen sus 10 semanas, son rapidísimas, la gorila x cokes fue la que más me gustó. Últimos días, solamente con agüita.

This week went well, She is growing well, and I am planning to transplant her in about a week and a half to her final home which will be a 5.2 gallon airpot. Very excited to get her into her final home, and let her roots stretch out, but still working on building a solid root mass. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze on!
