Gorilla Bubble

[Earlmarne]

I am trying to become a better gardener through note taking and observation.
I believe read of this strain being N hungry through flower.
My 3 gg leaning phenos are all fading random fans. I pick em every night and a couple more on the fade every night. This leads me to believe they are a little hungry for the N.
Currently they are getting 1.3 ec feed . . I mix 6 tblspoons Jack's 1 tbsp Epsom salt , 6 tbsp calnit into a 50 g drum.
I am reluctant to up the N for this run unless it is advised I do so. I believe stretch is over as they are packing on bud sites. Not much stretch really to speak of.
I am itching to defoliate them here next week. I think all branching is staying as I am getting great light to all sites as long as I can keep fans down.
You guys growing these beautiful specimens have any input as to taking fans and how she will react?

I just take fans that block light. So me it usually ends up that I take more upper leaves and leave lowers while tAking off lower sucker branches.
As for the yellowing leave. Just take em off they serve no purpose.
Also get a scale or meter. Don't measure jacks by volume. But to me it sounds like ther should be enough cal nit. But I have no idea what the weights of a tbsp are

What weight ratio do you run?
Some of my lower screen stuff I think would classify as sucker branches. They have their own 1000w light. I am Hoping that they will do alright due to my vert set up.
Idk though. Those dang seed plants were slow as all hell. If these clones keep chugging along I will be able to manipulate a crap ton more branching to take advantage of.

I weighed them and there really is not all that much difference in weight between the three so now I just mix by volume and call it good. here is what I got:
5-12-26 5.8g
15-0-0 4.9g
epsom 5.2g

Dan they look great. Mine have stopped stretching thankfully. Lolnkt sure what day that pic was taken. But by bud formation mine stretched a lil after thst point. Here they are today. Starting to fill in and add a lil weight. I'm very pleased so far with potential yield and amount of time I have left in flower. There's others mixed in with the GB bx2's pheno 6. But they are the tallest ones. Everyone should be able to tell them apart.

Lou, looking great my man! I hope to have some of that soon. I had some thst joe made. Very good I have to say.
Capt, looking great!

The few that wouldn't download

I pull the large fan leaves that attach to the trunk in veg. This allows the budsites to bust out and become sizeable branches.

I've started taking the bottom half off going into flower and usually remove the smaller in while in cups. I'll start removing more. Thanks for the the input

My Gorilla Bubble Bx1F1 22 days in two days ago!!

 

[Akss]

Nice pretty frosty already bobbo. Just started my bx1f1 and bx2. Been above ground for two days.

Very nice. I'm 22 days in and a bit behind your girl in development. I have a lot to learn from you guys

 

[Earlmarne]

Got in there and did some defoliation and tyeing.
Got #6 ,#5 , #8 there from left to right. #2 and my 2 og crosses under camera
#6 I have the most hope in as a keeper. Really jacked on my deadhead lbl cross not pictured also.
Looking forward to running these as clones in hydro.
The cuts I have in the recirculating tub are really taking off.

 

[Earlmarne]

This is #2 and what I believe to be my only sd leaning pheno. No back up in my garden.

 

[Earlmarne]

This is # 6
Strong branching, I was fond of her since early on. She and #5 have the more developed bud sites with # having a bit better structure.
Got em both backed up as well as #8 in the hydro ready to flip after my next og run.
No smells yet
Single bud pic is #2

 

[Earlmarne]

Checked the calender and I'm at 22 days today. Not super impressed with development thus far but am absolutely sure that lays in my environment. I get garden envy bad looking at what you fellas are pumping out.

 

[Bobbo4200]

Yeah Earl, get you environment on point and watch them flourish. Also mine is a clone which may be a tad faster.

 

[billb]

I was thinking the same thing around that time with mine. But at day 35 they start filling in big time for mine. I'm sure yours will do the same. I wouldn't worry.
Sry, abt the the others mixed in.. But there's blueberry gum of, OG #4, sour dub, blue dream,

Great looking plants.

BX2 pics taken at the chop .

 

[billb]

Thank you Earl! Yours will be that way very soon.

Double triple og that's beautiful! How many days did you chop her at? An did you start with a specific pheno/clone? Great job
I'm not sure how the bx1 #6 produces compared to all the others. But mine is looking like it's going to produce pretty good. My blueberry gum og isn't too far ahead. An my buddy who I got it from says he got 5 zips off the one he grew. I had some tops try and lay down a few days ago. I got them staked and tied now. So we'll see
