7 Strain Gorilla Grow In A Greenhouse

[Stunger]

I think if you're training Autos then it would be best to do any training early when they are still in vege. I have only grown one auto, which I LST'd, so other folk will have more experience than me to offer. Autos have a fixed flowering period, I am assume it's not good to have training that impacts the flowering period and bud yield.

I only did LST because height is an issue for my stealth growing, but I did find that the training caused the plant to be longer in vege, as a friend sprouted one of the same seeds on the same day I did, his was untrained and seemed about 2 weeks ahead of mine, which is not necessarily a bad thing, as mine gave more yield than his presumably because it got more time to grow it's base.

Training a plant can also require a regular time commitment to keep on top of the training which may or may not be practical for you in doing a remote stealth grow.

Train them early, as soon as you can. You can also try quadlining or other prune-agressive methods to have a few nice colas instead of a giant bush. That's up to your personal preference, so don't overthink it ok?

Height isn't really an issue for me on this one. I usually do LST as I'm a firm believer in find what works for you and try perfect it.

Where I live it's highly illegal to grow so it doesnt give much space for experimenting. But this time I'm thinking of topping them and trying to concentrate on a few main colas.

Thanks for the tips. I saw a good post up here yesterday about quadlining. Its somthing I've been dying to try for a while now. This could be the crop where I change things about a bit.

Had a little accident today with a blue cheese. She has nearly snapped all the was through her stem. But I think I can nurse it back.

I am with you on that. I think there are many ways to skin a cat and it is good to follow our gut feeling on what works, that way we learn and own what we are doing. I train solely for low height stealth reasons. So whether training helps or hinders yield are secondary, if it helps then that's a bonus!

I quadlined a couple of plants on my recent grow, I'll post a pic of one of them at the end.

Are you sure that has been snapped? It looks more like the stem is unbroken but withered, it looks a bit like 'damping off' a fungal condition that attacks the stem, which can occur from over watering. If it is 'damping off' then I don't think it will recover from there. Altho the appearance of your soil seems to look ok to me.

Here is a pic of one my quadlined girls recently harvested.

I was salivating over them pictures last night. They look beautifully healthy.Great job. You seem to have what you do perfected. I'll definitely be trying somthing similar with these autos.

I'm pretty sure it snapped when I picked up the pot to move it .

This might sound crazy but it has worked in the past for me.
I propped it up with a tooth pick, then pulled the tap root out of the soil about 10mm. Then banked it all up with soil so the whole stem and tap root was buried up to the 2 small leaves.
I went back in today and the leaves are pointing up to the sky like it's still alive and fighting. Only time will tell.

I'll try get some pics tomorrow .

You built a greenhouse in the woods?! This is going to be epic, definitely pulling up a chair.

Its sounds crazy doesnt it. I was going to just go with a clear tarp but then I came across a green house that was being thrown out. And because everyone seems to be locked in their houses i took advantage of the empty forest.
Hope you Enjoy the ride and keep your fingers crossed for me

A quick check on the greenhouse today and the blue cheese auto is still alive and hopefully fighting.

 

[Eddie the Eskimo]

Temps were ok too. That's the earliest( 8.30am) ive been in there and they were about 16 degrees.

I'm from a country where it rains 10 months of the year and your never really guaranteed a summer. So I'm delighted .

Amnesia auto and Green Gelato auto on the way.

Yes that is looking good.

Great stuff! I have only grown a Gorilla Glue auto and I'm really interested in how good other auto strains are, and what's the best ones to cut to the chase.

Nice photos! What I learned doing LST is that it's always better to prune the stems growing "down" (some people just leave the stems pointing outwards and cut the ones pointing up as well) because it's looking like it's gonna be a monster. Since you won't be able to check on them, if it's too dense a little issue could become serious if left unattended for 3 days.

I'm a photo period kinda guy. But since lockdown we are suffering a massive drought. So I need somthing that grows fast. I'm thinking of topping them all or maybe quadline to increase the yield.

I'll have to keep on top of them. I'm trying to get there every 2 days to keep on top of things. The LST in the pic is my mates plant. She has the landlord over doing some work around her house so I said I'd baby sit. I'll take your advice on the "down growers" thanks


My dog is loving all the walks we are taking into the forest. He has never walked so much in his life the poor little fecker.

 

[Eddie the Eskimo]

Big drought on because of this thing that's going on... em.... I forgot what its called. The mask thing !

It's so bad, i Had to scrape out my grinder last week . But on a happier note, I found a ball of mecca in an old shirt pocket.

And the Amnesia autos and green Gelato are continuing the dash for the surface. Happy days.

Happy bank holiday weekend to everyone.

That was a lucky find, thank god it didn't go thru the wash!

Big drop in temps here all week. From 26° to 12° on average during the day and 7° at night. I'm having problems with major stretching due to lack of sunshine too.

The life of a grower in a cold country isn't easy
Apart from that it's all good .


I'm expecting walkers and tourists out from next week so I'll have to get my camouflage gear out.

Still no luck on my 12v heating system. Maybe I'll just rig up the 12v fan instead. Hoping to thicken up them measly looking stems with a gentle breeze. I've gone in early a few mornings

to put them outside into the breeze but we are having choppy weather lately so I'm afraid of a big gusty snapping them.


The damaged blue cheese auto is recovering under a light in a friends tent. So I'm left with four in the greenhouse and 3 more ready to be smuggled in over the next 10 days .

 

[bebecillo]

How are you planning on hiding it? Do they install wildlife cameras in your park? The bad weather sucks, but that's life. Good luck.
