Sorry to muck up your Journal @Nosias





That's okay, I didn't journal this grow on this site for many reasons. Not trolling for any badges.


Sorry my friend, best of best on your grow
No need to be sorry at all, I asked and once agin you delivered. Happy happy to see what you do.
 
@Nosias looking good my Friend, looking good!!! That Gorilla Glue looks like someone sprayed her down with diamond dust, what a beauty! Mine was slow to bloom but now she's coming into her own. Going to be a little girl but hoping for good smoke quality.
My Rhino Ryder continues to be a challenge. She was a slow flower, next week will be 90 days from germination and I would say I have 30 to 45 more days for buds to fatten & finish.
These slow-flower auto's, when you get one, can be perplexing. I dropped my lighting to 12 hours and she DID start bloom a couple of weeks later. BUT, I'm thinking more and more it was just the extra two weeks rather than shortened days that caused her to bloom.
But I am not exaggerating when I estimate she has over 120 top buds. She's actually bowed the sides of my tent (2'3" X 2'3") and the light has been max-ed out against the top of the tent (5'3"). It's crazy. I was down to 6 - 8" clearance from the top of the canopy to the light, so I butchered her & clipped top buds back across the entire canopy. Hoping that stops her growing (remember when I was looking for a plant with stretch?????).
If I had a spare room I would have removed her from the tent & opened her up to 3'X3'; maybe even 4'X4'. I seriously think this plant, with SCROG, could have filled a 4X4. But 4.5 to 5 months???? That's crazy. Next time I grow a plant that has not shown flower by day 30, I'm getting out the chain saw.
But one thing I figured out, after they flower you CAN go back to 18 hour light-days. So I suspect, but have no way of proving, reduced light intervals don't help. Hmmmm.

All food for thought in case you ever get one. Keep up the good work!!!

Glad you dropped in. As I enjoy all who stop by to look.
Yes, The Gorilla Glue has the tiniest of trichomes and they are covering her very well. Yesterday when I was sitting and talking to them I saw a reflection of the light shining from one of the trichomes. I will go down to the tent soon and will try to take a pic.

The more I grow these autos the more I believe that it all comes down to breeding. Also every lady is totally different. My Fast Buds LSD-25 and my current FB Girl Scout Cookie are barely 1 foot tall and the Dutch Passion Mazar is 2.5" tall. You just never know. They drank 6 gallons in 3 days !! The DP Mazar and Royal Queen White Widow have stopped the stretch and are seriously putting out the pistils. So they are now in full drink mode.

Again thanks to all.
