Krissi's Side Project: Gorillas Like Lemons, Too - Photoperiod 2021

Yea had an awesome crissy and new year,pretty quiet
COVID is closing its grip on oz ATM .
How about yourself

Christmas parties got everyone in the family sick. Mostly stomach flu some came came with covid. My better half was one of them so I spent New Years with a glass of Pinot Noir and some dark chocolate covered cashews watching Ancient Aliens lol you have it in your house??!!
 
Maybe I do need a fan cover or just to actually be more aware...Gigi shot 3 inches overnight and I misjudged her height to the distance of the fan...at least it wasn't as bad as what I did to G when she grew into the light overnight and I burned her top cola lol

So with that said, had to throw some tape on her...also cleaned her up a little in the middle and her bottom that will never see light.

Gonna flip her to week 1 flower nutes next feed. Got water and cal-mag today

There's a newer documentary on Netflix about UFO's.. I think it's a 6 episode limited series just released. It was pretty good.

BIO-SI-Liquid innoculent with nitrogen and potassium. A broad and diverse spectrum of naturally occurring, beneficial soil derived microbes.

CORE A-Primary macro-nutrients(Phosphorus, Postassium, Sulfur, Magnesium and fully chelated micronutrients with an amino acid-complex)

CORE B-Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium

BIG DATA (FLOWER ONLY) Changes NPK ratio

KELPFUL- Combination of several varieties from the N. Atlantic and Tasmanian Islands, loaded with organic fulvic acids

PRECURSOR 1-Metabolic Booster

**Encourages cell division and rapid growth

**Improved nutrient uptake through chelation to organic fulvic acids

**A highly absorbable nitrogen profile that allows plants to orient to capture light as well as build plant tissues

**Their variety of components naturally supports the plants biological signaling, flower growth and development of trichomes

**Drives enzyme function to store and transport energy

**Creates building blocks for oils and terpens while promoting root growth and flower set

RAVING REVIEWS:

"BEST NUTRIENTS I EVER USED"

"THE BEST ORGANIC NUTRIENTS MONEY CAN BUY"

"WHOA!!!!"

"THE CLEAR WINNER IN QUALITY NUTRIENTS"

"ABSOLUTELY UNDERRATED, DO NOT OVERLOOK"

This is a fantastic sponsorship with a fantastic product. It is well balanced, well researched and doted on by the growing community.

The only non-organic additions to these nutrients will be the applications, if necessary, of Cal-Mag and PH down.

SOIL ADDENDUMS:

I will be implementing organic Epsom salt foliar sprays, epsom salt and earthworm casting toppings and a soil addendum upon transplants that includes a 3:1 ratio of Epsom salt to organic cane sugar directly beneath root placement along with 2c of earthworm castings mixed directly into the soil.

My SOIL of choice is:

Fox Farm Ocean Forest

My SEEDLING GROW MEDIUM of choice is:

An Organic Jiffy Seed Starting Mix of coconut coir, peat moss, and vermiculite

I'm extremely excited to use this specific combination of nutrients, mediums and organic supplements on this grow.

I can only imagine the magic that will come.

Grow set up info to come over the next several days along with Pest Prevention practices, temp and RH numbers, methadology and training, seedling habitation information, and a detailed strain breakdown..

Moving on with the breakdown...

Since I am avoiding the use of any brand names in this particular journal besides my nutrient provider, this will be relatively short and simple!

What kinda space you working with girl?

Veg tent dimensions 24 x 24 X 60 w a 4-inch inline, carbon filter, and duct

Flower tent dimensions 48 x 48 x 80 w a 6-inch inline, carbon filter, and duct

LIGHTING-it matters



Veg Tent: 150W Dimmable LED and...

Either a 6-60W full spectrum fixture or an additional 100W Dimmable LED will also be behind the main light. I have yet to decide which would better suit my growing needs for this tent this grow-round. I will update when I know my final decision.

Flower Tent: 480W multi-strip LED


Pest Prevention-God let it rain ladybugs


2a7c41c9650f0840c9367bd0ec8fb7a3.jpg


I have recently started implementing Mosquito Dunks into my feeds, use the good ol ugly yellow sticky hanging fly traps and insecticidal soap. If the Good Lord would just give me a ladybug colony in my attic I would be forever indebted more than I already am.

Temperature and Humidity:

Seedlings and very early veg start off at about 70% RH working their way down through the vegetative process to around 65-60 then in flower to around 50-60.

Seedlings start at no less than 80 degrees no more than 85

Veggies hold between 78 and 82

Flower 78-84 during the day, 70-76 at night

*Note*
Some strains prefer more heat and humidity in Mediterranean like conditions while some flourish in less humid, cooler temperatures

SEEDLING HABITATION:

I do not dome my seedlings. They are not started in solo cups or a seedling starter kit, rather in 4in plastic pots with 8 drain holes underneath. As aforementioned, my medium for them is a mix of coconut coir, peat moss and vermiculite. After about 2 weeks they are ready to be re-homed.

Seedling feed:

@Prescription Blend provides a feeding schedule of 1-2ml p/gl both CORE A and CORE B during this developmental stage

Up-potting: With FFOF

This grow will move from its initial 4 in pot to a 3 gl self feed then to a 5 gl self feed and finally to an 8gl. 5gl transfer occurs before the start of 12/12. Then before flowering commences, a move to the 8gl is made.

Methadology and Training:

adbb5513cd60757d83c51a276cf77d24.jpg



No, I don't use the canna-bonsai method but it's a pretty radical idea...

For this particular grow, as she is a Photoperiod, I will be using the following methods in my growing madness:

HST bend and snap

End of Flower Droughting

End of Flower increase in dark time


I do not LST my photos and do not begin HST until around week 6/7 of veg. I like to gold my girls to veg between 7 and 9 weeks.

Last but not least, detailed strain information and set up pics to come before germination commences this weekend.

So for now...
