The Phantom Og The Opera Goes Apeshit: Starring Barney's Farm Gorilla Zkittelz, Phantom OG & Supporting Cast

[Ganjagrandaddy]

I do enjoy watching the plants grow every day! Seeing them change little by little, it is really a miracle!

I think it is one of the enjoyments of growing for me Sara. Flowering can be so rapidly different daily as they form up to colas more. Watching them fatten up too. I post most days for my own pleasure too.lol
This grow has been a very surprising experience due to changing to a whole new way of growing with the L.E.D.
These strains are amazing too , all good genetics and up for a city of colas. Using the quadlines has helped with penetration and getting them their own patch of light to head into to. So glad i stayed in the discussion thread and saw dutchman1990 germinating his in the 250's.
Thanks for the comments

I pulled them out, maybe it was meant to be because they attract some attention..
But indoors are doing great!
Temps here in holland 38C fuck!

Your storm made the uk last night at around 3am. I watched it outside , amazing display of electrical storm on epic proportions , i half expected The Annunaki to be landing a spacecraft.!!!
32°c here today. thankfully lots of airflow going in.

Day 13 flowering (+14 flipped)
Another scorcher here in the UK and the girls are coping amazingly well. No signs of heat stress so far and the air is being sent in and circulating on all levels. Rh is in the 70's but not too concerned. I ran with the tent zipped up and it was only at 30°c with 79%R.h. Not too shabby. I feel they are still changing daily so include pics to compare but it is noticeable that heat slows them down.
Heres a few bud shots from today.

loving them.peter. the wattage is 300 at the socket each light so half what i was using with the hps and without doubt more coverage and spectrum too. The girls are loving it even with these crazy heatwaves.

Your apes are looking fantastic Gg

14 Days Flowering Update: Having temps hotter than African summertime today , i decided to take the girls out and have a dance with each one in turn to see how they are Personally. There are clear leaders , followers and stragglers in the field now ( They know who they are so i wont embarrass them by naming them !). Opening the rmtent to 35°c and an R .h of 61% had me scratching my head as they didnt bat an eyelid. Rh now at 53% so cannot complain there.
It is always a nice supridmse to see how much actual airflow can get around the lower structures too. hoping this wind will fatten the lowers more over the next 6-9 weeks. I have given them a feed of Shogun Pk warrior as they are starting week 3 ( but week 4/5 if flip counted as some manufacturers do include as flowering) and halved their gh trio food to compensate as directed. hoping i havent jumped the gun but it can be used as soon as the veg growth has stopped and mine has.
I am enjoying this grow so much compared to others i have done and i think having seen the strains growing to their end with Prof has kept my excitement levels high.
Here goes with the updates
Blue Gelato 41 is stacking her buds up nicely. She is not as chunky as her relations but she has a long way to go yet so i think will catch up on the size side before long

Orange Sherbet is a beauty and the biggest budded girl in the grow. She has golf balls forming and is starting to smell a little now too. She has a lot of nice sized colas forming on those thick arms. fingers crossed.

Update day 14 flowering (cont...) Phantom Og is meandering along quite happily. Her buds are stacking up nicely and look set for forming one long cola for each main. Still my secret favourite ,shhh.

Gorilla zkittelz #1 is a major player for yield queen of the grow. Her buds are looking perfect already and forming up beautifully. Starting to get a few colours coming through too

#2 Is still the runt of the litter but forming up ok

#3 She has now shot into 1st place for size now and towers over #1 by about 5 inches. Her colas are from base to tip and joining up perfectly. She is going to be a very big fat colad beast i think

Cont....

Update day 14 flowering ( cont....)
Gz #4 is not as big as the other two large girls but does have a fair few stacking colas taking residence. She is also getting a little colour around a few buds.

Cookie Kush has not been very busy. she didnt stretch that much and remains smaller than all the others. She has airy small buds forming so will hopefully will form the up for a more impressive end.

With the temps hitting 35°c in the room , the girls are coping very well. I am glad i defoliated and have good airflow going through the whole structures which has kept the rh between 51%-78% quite a swing but no way of interceeding but with airflow . The Grow is keeping me busy when i get the chance to farm. There is not a lot to do around training thankfully but keeping them watered and stimulated takes some time now due to their sizes.
A few random shots to fill us up.Hope all your grows are flying and your days are peaceful. have fun

Nice mainlining there! They seem to dont give a f about the high temps haha
Looking good and on track mate.

Wow,GG they're doing amazing! The heat's not bothering them
a bit, in fact it looks like they really like it hot...
Beautiful bud structure on all of them -you're going to end up with a bunch of those colas that make a 2 liter bottle look small...

Thank you Cass. I am hoping they do mate. getting sticky in here now too. If they turn out as solid as yours did i will be a happy Puppy .

 

[Peterpangreen]

Btw are they dimmable? I dimmed mine from 600w to 400 and took the temps from 32C back to 27-28C.

there are power screws to turn down the wattage used at the socket in 25% increments. Factory setting is full 310w shipped.
It will be useful to be able to lower it for seeds and seedlings. Only unknown for me now is how deep they can penetrate to build the lower buds.. looks promising so far but feels more of a task for them than the HPS ?. Think the key will be keeping them as opened up as i can while they flower.

Hey GG! Looking sooo good in there! They all seem to be in perfect health. Those are some strong girls to not show you any stress during the heat you've been getting! Like i said in Prof's thread, i'm well impressive with your flower production so far - these girls aren't holding back. Loving your grow GG. I can't wait to see all those healthy pistils swell up over the next few weeks.

Your lower ends seem to be trucking along nicely so far but we'll definitely have a better idea towards the end of flower. The lights seem to really be doing the job well so far! I'm sure you are enjoying the cut in electricity consumption with the lights? Also imagine you were still running HPS when your heat wave hit. Fuck

Thank you irie. Always a pleasure to see you here mate.
They are doing Barneys proud with their tolerance to this heatwave. It has been more evident the last few days as they have slowed a little with pistil production but today they seem to have picked up again. I made an error with adding the shogun pk warrior but only for 2 feeds so am now back to the boost only again. it is meant to be used longer than normal pk products but still a week early for it , doh !. The Orange Sherbet is stomping it for her bud sizes compared

The gZ are forming nice buds too and I had to supercrop 5 mains on number 3 to keep her back

Going great guns now.lol
cheers mate

GG-I just wanted to stop by and thank you for the help over in my journal-you nailed it!

And while I'm here-I gotta say, your plants are looking effing Awesome!
Those colas are gonna be huge!
You're going to need a wheelbarrow at harvest time....and jars...sooo many jars.....

Wow mate thank you . your welcome anytime bud. so glad we all put our heads together and found it out in time. hate to see such a beautiful grow amd sucess stole away this far in. finger crossed for a great harvest and dry mate. enjoy the pc too. gone before you know it
lol
Thanks for the grow comments too , i am having fun with this one so far. different strains are great to add variety but i am glad i went with 4 of the Gorilla zkittelz, they look and smell great and the orange sherbet is my star pupil to date. wish i had more of her in their too. Dont be a stranger here mate always welcome and any thoughts ideas , especially humerous observations to my shit auto correct errors , are always enjoyed. Be at peace brother and have a great day.

UpdateDay 26 flowering : All i can say this post is wow. These ladies are killing it for me. They havent missed a beat even with my early attack with the pk warrior.lol. The more i farm and mess about , the more i fall for these girls.. Seeing all the colours starting to come out in the Gz already along with the really furry white buds on the Blue Gelato 41 has me dribbling each time. The smaller Cookie , gz#2 are the only concerns for yield but are doing as they should , just dwarfed by the other giants. Gz#1 is doing amazingly well and no signs of her dropping her heads through too much weight to stem at all so all good. Bg41 is lanky but her bud structure is beautiful and i get the ice cream symbology for her. She looks like a corneted ice cream with sprinkles in real light and close up.
Pog is sandwiched between the huge Orange sherbet and the Hulkberry so gets missed when i take general pics. ( poor girl) I think the other girls realised my favouritism and try to push her out. She is forming up well and her buds are solid too.
Orange Sherbet is going to be the star without a doubt. Her buds are so far ahead of the others in size and weight. beautiful and fully formed.
Gz#3 has had to have her 5 tallest mains supercropped to bringbher lowers to more light and the result is good already. I just need the stems to knuckle up to relax a little about the horizontal tops now. Got a lot of pics today so might be a photobomb folks. all comments welcome and appreciated. have a couple of shots for Profs Thread of the bg41 buds too.
green days folks
