Dinafem X Intense Nutrients Grow Off - Quick Gorilla / Ocean Grown Cookies (Seb88)

[Amnesia]

Hi @seb88 They nice and uniform from here although you say the OGC's are a little behind. My OGC was also behind but once they get going and settle in the new pots you will see them soon catching up. I was thinking of trying those air-pots myself, nice root mass there. Are they a pain to water? I water slowly anyhow but i hear some say it comes out the sides? I've put that down to watering too quickly though which you will probably agree. Just forgot i'm in soil if it would make a difference.

Anyway all the best, grand job.

Cheers @Amnesia I don't really want to set up another tent so will probably flip them all together. If the gorillas get a bit out of control I can always supercrop them  will pot them up in the next few days and will flip in the next week I reckon.

 

I really like the airpots and don't have any issues with water coming out of the holes. Like you said I think that's only if you throw all the water down at once. I always pack the Coco against the sides when potting up, this helps keep the water in and stops it all falling apart when you pot up next time.

Cleaning them is a bit of a pain, I usually give them a scrub with a stiff brush in some watered down bleach then rinse off in the shower.

Hi

 

Since the last update I've potted them all up into their final 20litre airpots.

Got rid of the smallest OGC and they've all just been put into flower.

Each 4 plants now has 1.2m² area and the COB's have been upped to 600w each.

Ocean Grown Cookies

 

 

Full set (gorillas at the back)

 

 

 

The gorillas were around 17-18" tall before flipping, the OGC's ranged from 11-14".

I might be having some fun keeping the gorillas short after the stretch, we will see.

 

Cheers

Hi guys

 

We are now on day 8 of flower.

It looks like the stretch has begun. The OGC's are now ranging from 17-22" tall, and the quick gorillas are 22-27".

 

I'm slightly concerned about how big these gorillas are going to get, I'm going away for a week on the 10th, so will have a mate looking after them during this time. This will time it around the last week of stretch, so if there's any supercropping to do he's in charge.

But I'm sure it'll be fine 

 

They are now just starting to show some flowers, so I will start to trickle in some PK with my base nutes.

Really impressed with the intense nutrients, the plants all look nice and healthy and they are starting to fill out nicely!

Now then 

 

It's been another week and we are now on day 15 of flower.

Since the last update I've setup my watering system to save me some work. The 20litre pots are now getting watered daily and they are each drinking around 3.5 litres per day.

 

Stretch

Gorillas are now ranging from 34-42" tall (22-27" a week ago) - approx 2" per day

Ocean Grown Cookies range from 24-30" (17-22" a week ago) - approx 1" per day

 

Nutes

I'm feeding

2ml/litre foundation roots

3ml/litre of A+B

0.3ml/litre of PK Phite (will up to 0.5 this next week)

 

They all look pretty happy to me. Plants haven't really asked for anything

 

Gorillas - some nice little flowers starting to form now

I then gave them a little defol to allow a bit more light and air to pass through the canopy.

 

 

Next update I will have them all lollipopped before going on my hols

 

Cheers

Was checking my plants over and found a few of these on one of my gorillas.

Is this a hermie?

I thought it was just undeveloped calyxes but it's looking a bit suspect. Last photo shows another above it with pistols coming out.

 

[flighty]

Uh oh looks like boys bits to me. one is about to open just under the pistils in the 3rd pic

[seb88]

Shit. Coming down now.

[seb88]

Right so plant has come down. Chopped a branch off for a better look, there's quite a few balls around. Too many to try and pinch them off

Carefully took the plant out, binned, washed clothes, showered, hopefully theres been no pollen released...

Should have picked this up much earlier so massive fail on my part 

 

 

 

[flighty]

Caught them just in time! Have you checked the other plants?

[Mimicker]

Ooh Eck get checking in on the other plants, happened to me very recently with a PAK that I had cooked by leaving the radiator heating the tent right next to the pot. Dolt. Gotta crack these things up to experience
