Not sure if it's just the pics but looks like you need to do another defol. Quite a Bush you got going there.

No matter how aggressive you defoliate a week to 2 later it's almost like you can't notice you defoliated. 

 

The struggle is real boys.

Killer budstructure on the right hand side plant, also a nice stretch, if flavor and high is on point she's a keeper!

Just flippin love that structure :-rolled

The genetics between the two are so different 😵 I would definitely redo the right plant again if I had to choose between the two for this manifold technique. The left barely stretched and grows really really tight. I'd probably recommended the left plant as a Sea of Green technique, but still confident on getting good yield and bud from both from this harvest😁

Lekker man, ja the grow is looking fire dude 🙂 

Is the righthand side plant the Granddaddy Purple or the Gorilla?

I like it! 

I still feel you should get a larger DWC res for next round... It really takes the edge off. 

Something like a 30l - 40l in that space and you will notice the difference.

Currently I set my res up with hortimix up to 1 EC... Literally leave it alone for 2 months except add water that's been displaced... No extra nutes, no pH checks... And the plants explode like volcanoes.... Damn the efficiency of DWC!!!

Agreed. The last grow I did I only had puny 20L DWCs and they were not enough! Had to basically refill every day.

Now I have these 30L DWCs and they are so much better. Only need to refill every week now in flower.

Noice... I would even consider consolidation to even larger bucket... Ones where the volume of water in use is lager than currently... 

Do you measure your water temp separately to your ambient? 

I'll get a whole pool for you @CreX 😜

Can't say I pay much attention to water temp unless it's warmer than 21C

Getting some nice colour and aroma from the GDP, little bit of frosty bits too 🕸️

Royal Gorilla looking to flower for much longer still. Not much more different since the last update.

The yellowing is from sending too much juice to the QB. I now know what the maximum perimeters are so hopefully won't mildly burn anymore plants 😷

Nice man, how many weeks into flower are they now?

 

You going to do more defol or not?

6 weeks now into flower.

Nah I don't think I will defol, my humidity is now sitting under 40% thanks to the recent change in weather and it's getting pretty chilly for the ladies. I rate I am liking how they are both developing so I am leaning towards less-is-more. I am also seeing this grow what it looks like when defol is not as heavy-handed.

Small update. GDP is ripening up nicely. Starting to see mostly cloudy trichomes, busy waiting for that amber. I'd like to see half amber trichomes before cutting. 

Royal Gorilla is still a ways away, plenty of fattening up to do and trichomes are still clear and small. I think I won't ripen the Royal Gorilla as much as the GDP, maybe as soon as I spot a single amber I will cut.

You said you wanna chop at first sight of amber? 

What ha using to get up close and personal? The DSLR? 

Yee. Although, the GDP is now a week over the breeder's stated flowering time, so I am considering chopping this weekend. I can't see the buds filling up much more than they are right now. 

Took another pic today of the trichomes. I can spot a few speckles of amber.

      First time growing photoperiods, quite excited. 

      Genetics
      Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co.  6 Pack

      High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds."  Hoping to achieve that.
      Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
      They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment. 
      Grow Setup
      Same as before. Here
      ~
      Lets go 
      9 November
      Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.

      10 November
      Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.

      11 November
      Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs. 
      Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading. 
      I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.

      Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.

      150w Grow The Jungle LED Grow Light , The Light is full Spectrum. Samsung LEDs and Osram Driver , They're hands down one of the best lights iv used out of the many that I have used over the years,
      Lights Aren't available to order in the country , Imported from spain ,
      more than 1 available , price is Negotiable.
       
      If you want to know more feel free to Dm me

      This is how I built an overpowered light worth $2500+ on the market for only $850. All currency is CAD.

      *BEFORE STARTING*
      Watch the 6 part growmau5 series to learn the wiring:
       
      For the grounding plug:
       
      Technical:

      4x Hlg 185H 700ma in series drivers (i suggest you buy the newer 240H model) $250

      40x 5000K $350

      7x 3000K $25
      (You can use less I used way too many)

      All are bridgelux Gen 3/ C3 (Make sure theyre all plug in only dont mess around with the solder ones unless you have 100+hours experience in soldering)
      The 3000k ones I used were soulder onlys. Lost a couple due to human error

      Total Cost (TC): $575

      Frame:
      (Choose a better material for frame, I used wood composite because I was lazy) (I would think aluminum would be the best material but all have their pros and cons)

      Wood composite 2x2ft v

      Matching plastic 2x2ft (painting frame) $50?

      Thermal tape (sized to the width of the led bars) $20

      TC: $70-100

      Electric:

      100’ length 20guage solid core wire $60

      50 pack 2 wire wagos 221 $25

      4x plastic junction boxes 4inch x 4inch x 3inch (make sure it comes with something to plug up the holes and hold the wire)$40

      500 assorted pack heatshrink tubing $20 (good to help fit in junction box)

      4x Leviton 515PV 15Amp 125Volt grounding plug $20

      25’ 16guage wire (for the grounding plug) $20

      TC:$165-Everything is super flexible here just make sure your amps and volt calculations are solid.
      -Dedicated extra fans (required): With 2 medium fans running on the light, and another 2 small fans running on the drivers everything is 20C-25C.

      SETTING UP THE DIMMERS

      (Very easy if you do it like i did in these pictures)

      All you need is:
      •100k potentiometers (maybe an ohm meter if you want to make sure ur dimmers go all the way to 100, most dont they go to like 92 or 97)

      •20 guage wire (same as the led strips)

      •Plastic junction box (make sure its got rubber wire holders that you cut a hole through with scissors and put the wire/ potentiometer through)

      •211 Wago wire connector

      •soldering machine (temperature is dependant on what kind of solder you use) $25

      • silver solder (find a lower temp soldering machine ~360f for silver) $20
      (This light is truly 800w if you use the exact parts, if you use more or less drivers and led strips or different brands then the wattage can vary from 600-1000, materials are very flexible just try to make sure volt/amp calculations are correct) (Always be cautious with electricity, build this whole thing without being plugged in to any wall outlet/power source⚠️⚡️)

      The Nova 420W – 1000mm produces a large amount of light(47248 Lumens), making this light ideal for larger grow operations where the fixture can be placed further away from the canopy. The light spectrum and intensity produced by this fixture are both suitable for the vegetative and flowering stage (inclusive of Far-Red chips) of growth. IP 44 standard.

      The Terra Aquatica General Hydroponics Ebb & Grow Irrigation System offers an easy-to-use system ideal for both new and experienced growers. With an automatic irrigation system to ensure that the nutrient solution is pumped to the tray to feed plants, it will automatically stop working once the substrate is sufficiently watered and the nutrient solution will drop back to the tank. Durable and adaptable to the grower's needs, this irrigation system is highly functional, manufactured from 100% recycled materials while remaining durable.
       
      Produce more, more easily, without wires, tubes and complicated systems. Want to grow hydroponic herbs and vegetables at home, work or school, but put off by the complexity of the systems? The Ebb & Grow means you can use any pot you like, almost any substrate (although we recommend CocotekPX), and move plants around at will. Herbs in the front and tomatoes and chillies in the back? No problem. All salads this month and cut flowers from pots next? No problem. All our hydroponics systems are flexible, but the Ebb & Grow really is the most adaptable system we have ever made, and with no risk of leakage or overflow, easy disassembly and cleaning, it can be used anywhere that space is available.
       
      The GHE Ebb & Grow is an “ebb and flood” design: a simple timer (not included) runs a pump intermittently to bring nutrient solution up to the growing table, where it flushes spent air from the roots of your plants, waters and feeds them, then pulls fresh air in as the water drains back down to the reservoir.
       
      The system can hold up to thirty-two 15 cm plastic pots, twenty-two 1 gallon (3.75L) fabric pots, or as many larger pots as you can fit on its 88 cm square growing surface, and with a height of just 38 cm low ceilings are not a problem.
       
       
       
       
       
      FEATURES
      100L reservoir capacity
      Automatic Irrigation System
      Provides Excellent Oxygen Source to Root System
      Easy to Use
      Great Yielder System
      Ideal for New or Experienced Growers
      Adaptable to Grower's Needs
