bigworm gorilla spirit

[sharptater]

Found one male for sure and another im almost positive is a male. Gonna give it another day or two to be sure. Very middle plant is confirmed male, back right is suspected male. Hope I end up with my four females. Probably shoulda popped a few more but grow and learn. Feel free to leave comments or advice.

very nice plant keep the male and make some seed lol. this is good genetic I will check your grow all the way. will you stay in this size pot for the flowering if u have only 4 or 3 plant u should use 5 gallon of soil and more each pot my opinion .

 

[sharptater]

If I had a place to keep it till I could get some pollen I would. Thanks for the advice. I have 3 gallon pots I'm gonna transplant soon. Next grow probably will get at least five gallon pots. Mainly went with the three gallons because I read coco does better in smaller pots watered more. But more roots equal more fruits so probably up them to five gal next time. I'm thinking about transplanting the rest and going ahead and flip to 12/12. they are about a foot tall and have a lil over three feet of head room with leaving a foot from the light.

i've been growing in coco for a while now, started in 2 gallon smart pots, went to 3 gallon, now i use 7 gallon smart pots to flower in. the roots get crowded in a 2 or 3 gallon pot, even a smart pot full of coco, and it holds the plant back from growing as big as it could, and yielding as much as it could. i start in solo cups, go to 2 qt pots, then 2 gallon smart pots, then to 7s when i flip to flower, and i'm getting bigger healthier plants that yield more

How often do you water in the big pots? For future reference. Next grow im gonna go at least 5 gallon might go with the 7 gal since im only gonna flower 4 at a time.

twice a week till they get established, then usually every other day, unless they still seem really wet, then i'll wait another day

i hand water right now, been thinking about blue mats or drip collars, just cause i'm lazy

Thanks for the info.

Thinking about topping them and a little bit of lst before I flip to flower to spread them out some. Think its to late for that?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

depends on how big you want them to get, the longer you veg them the larger they'll get, if you top, i would wait 10 days to 2 weeks, i like to give them a chance to get over the shock and let the new growth at least get started before i cram it into the flower tent

 

[sharptater]

I have a little bit over three feet to work with. Tallest ones are right at a foot. They seem heavy indica to me so I wouldn't think they would stretch a whole lot. I'm expecting roughly 2x.

 

[sharptater]

Idk yet. I need to transplant them tho I don't want them to get rootbound. Trying to hold off till I know the sex of them, so I don't have to transplant the males. Will it hurt them to check the roots?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

probably. not really much reason to check anything, plants that big in pots that big need to be transplanted. they can survive till you can sex them, but the sooner you transplant, the better for the plants

 

[sharptater]

I"LL leave them alone till I get them sexed then. I don't think it will take much longer. I think I'm just gonna let them grow out natural this time and do topping and training next time. They are branching out nice id think they will fill out more after the flip. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

 

[sharptater]

I just checked them. Pretty sure I have 2 male and five female. Dont see pistols yet but preflowers look female to me. I'll try to get some pics.

 

[sharptater]

Couldn't get any decent close ups but took some pics of tops and sides. The droopy one I think is over watered. if I do have five females its getting culled. Just been looking rough the whole time and others are doing alot better. Second and third pic is the one I think is more sativa leaning. Slightly thinner leaves and branching different.

[jrock420]

Looks good buddy I'll stay in tune. I got a worm journal myself for double bucks and god stomper. I'm curious to see how gorilla spirit turns out. What's her lineage?
