Update on the girls... Zkittzy Gorilla is doing very well, Alien Gorilla germinated two days behind so is still a bit squat, looks healthy though with nice broad leaves

Roots have reached the reservoir in the auto pot so all those lovely nutes will start kicking in

i`m exited about this one... my fingers smell like i`ve been holding some high quality charas, seems like the landrace Afghani genes from the Alien technology are dominant in this girl.
She is also very short with broad leaves... would be well suited to all you growers with height restrictions

They are moving right along, great job with them

 

[jimbobdaz]

Thanks Ghost... they seem to be very happy atm, I'm taking a photo every night from the same top corner of the room, hopefully will be able to make a short timelapse ish video at the end of the grow
One they have established a bit more I'm going to break the main stem while supported and let it heal... after that I'll top them and supercrop them up to the scrog height

Looks like those air domes are doing the trick. I am looking into this setup--so nice.

Can`t hurt to try and they are pretty cheap... i used to run mine on the same timer as the lights but now i have them on a 2 hours on, 2 hours off continuous loop

Gonna follow along , wanting to do a scrog on my next grow!

Good idea... you can avoid all the mistakes I'm about to make lol

 

[jimbobdaz]

Not much to update atm so here are a few pics , they seem quite content and growing nicely. Alien Gorilla is surprisingly different from her cousin in almost every way

I knew everything was going too smoothly, first problem has appeared... heat!
We have had some fairly good weather lately but today was very warm, grow room hit 34 .c / 93 f and the girls have started to curl their leaves

i`ve put an old fan in to blow across the canopy as a temporary measure until i figure out what i need to do before summer proper hits us

They are looking good, good luck on getting them temps down. I have to use AC most of the year.

 

[jimbobdaz]

I have considered a portable ac unit, for now frozen 5 ltr bottles of water will have to do

 

[SlyTown420]

Swamp cooler.
