Dinafem Gorilla Grow

Hi all,

Firstly many thanks to @Dinafem-Mark for the chance to have a crack at the new strain, much appreciated bro :skin_up:

I'll update this this diary as often as I can, be it weekly, or whenever I get in there.  Still very much consider myself a learning student at the art, will certainly appreciate any and all advice from any who come along for the ride :smokin:

 

Onto the beans, received five fem beans, so I popped all five as i think five plants will fill my 1.2sq space nicely. I'm going to try and keep these quit tidy where I can, maybe a pinch out, but nothing to massive.

 

I started by dropping them into a glass of council pop:

I left them like this for an hour or so, them gave them a prod to get sub surface, all bar one sank and that was having a good go at it:

After a day in water they are transferred to my high-tech germination factory...

So here we are today after 24 hours processing in the germination factory, looking really good, these were solid beans a day back.  Can't complain with 100% germination, all looking nice and healthy so far.

After this I put them back into the wet paper towel for another day, I'd like the tap root to get a little more established before I pop them into soil, if that's not tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be day after.

Will update again with pre-potting-pikkies in a day or so..

Good luck , can I ask, is that germination factory set up for Gravity to send the tap roots down to stop them twirling around the seed???

 

Thanks

@Jack010 aye mate, spot on.  I used to transfer them to a plate with a towel, then I got a tip of hanging them as such, for this exact reason :)

Will follow along and see how they grow for you.

I have 3 seedlings above ground a few days now, will be using them to clone from later in the year.

 

Best of luck

Toke..

Good luck with them mate. I too have a diary going, but your post must be much better than mine as I've only had one reply & I'm feeling a little neglected :skull: Haha!

 

I'll keep watching, as I'm looking forward to compare mine to yours :yinyang:

Good luck with them mate. I wish you the best of luck :bong:

 

I too have a Gorilla diary going on here, as I was lucky enough to get my beans dominated to by Mark.

Although your post must be much better than mine as I've only had one reply & I'm feeling a little neglected :skull: Haha!

 

I'll keep watching, as I'm looking forward to compare mine to yours :yinyang:

Oops, double post! I didn't realize I posted before I finished editing my post. So if a moderator could delete my first post it would be appreciated :yinyang:

Update:

 

48 hours into germination and you can really see how using gravity has assisted the tap roots development, I shall definitely be doing this from now on.

I numbered these relative to how they seemed in growth, so 1-5 is bottom left, middle, top right, top left, bottom right.

I dropped them into a small pot of biobizz light to kick off with.  Once they grow a pair I'll pot them up into canna mud.

Initial feeding is just going to be water until they are either potted up, or show signs that they need something a little stronger than h2o.  Light wise I always start under a T5, lets me get the light nice & close to help minimise the stretch.  Once they are adequately developed they'll go under a 400 Mh.

 

I'll pop up another pikkie once they stick their head out to say hi :mellow:

Can't wait to see how these go. Definitely taking them for a spin myself after I finish this next grow.
