I'll start in 1 gal pots under t5cfl for the first 3 weeks or so and then transplant into 5 gal pots outdoors for the remainder of the grow. I use Searles potting mix and add around 20% perlite, I'll be using general hydro maxi grow, maxi bloom and kool bloom as well as some liquid kelp and professors cal/mg
@St. Tom
Dinafem week 1 update
Bean popped no problems and off to a good start.

Dinafem Week 2 update
Things are going along quite nicely so far. Feeding at 1 teaspoon per gallon of maxi grow and folliar feeding with a light liquid kelp mix every 3rd day.

Dinafem gorilla is really kicking into gear now and has outgrown my indoor space as of today ....still getting her used to the sun before re potting her.

Dinafem week 4 update
Everything seems to be going ok still and still stretching.
Temps have been upto 35c of a day and around 15c of a night. Feeding 1 teaspoon of maxi grow per gallon and 1/2 teaspoon of maxi bloom per gallon.

Dinafem gorilla
Week 5 ? Update
She must be close to 3.5 feet tall now and still stretching a bit! Feeding maxi grow at 1 teaspoon per gallon and maxi bloom at 1 teaspoon per gallon as well as 4 mls per gallon of cal/mg.

week 6
Dinafem gorilla auto
Been having 100f+ days this week with humidity only around 10% which is far from idea! Seems to be a pretty hardy plant and handling it not to bad. Lost a few fan leaves but other than that she's ok I think ....also having catterpiller issues again but that's under control and spraying with BT every few days.

Dinafem update week 7
Looking like she's heading for the bin....been working long hours and havnt had time to inspect my plants properly for a week....have been spraying with BT every few days but catterpillers have still managed to trash her! .....just about every bud is damaged so I don't think there's much left to salvage.....real shame as she was a nice plant but it is what it is

@Dinafem-Mark , I know you wanna sponsor that dream grow buddy !!
I had talked earlier to @Dinafem-Mark and @themongal about not doing a gorilla for this comp as I'm already journaling one and have limited space. They were ok with that, but I've had issues in my grow room lately and I feel I owe it to myself and to the genetics I was given to do a better job. So I'm going to let another Gorilla out of it's cage !

Here we go ! @St. Tom@Rebel

Week 1 day 6 Dinafem OG Kush CBD @St. Tom

Sadly the Gorilla didn't make it through week 1 even, so I'm left with OG Kush. The original plant I was going to run for this comp anyway. I transplanted her at day 5 into a 3 gal cloth pot

Day 6 OGK

Dinafem OG Kush CBD Week 2 @St. Tom

Week 3 update, OG Kush CBD @St. Tom
Not a lot to report, I had to use a new bag of soil on this girl that came pretty wet. So I haven't done anything to it except let it sit in a saturated pot for a few weeks. Tomorrow I will give it it's first water.

Dinafem OGK auto Week 5 update @St. Tom

I've been really struggling in the grow tent lately, and this lady is no exception. I've been having so many crazy varying symptoms with all my plants it's been nuts ! I believe I have finally cracked it though. I ripped off a leave and put it under a scope. Sure enough, there was a TON of Broad Mite eggs. Hopefully I can get a handle on things and continue. I"m using a product that I happen to have on hand called End All. Hopefully it will work for these lil buggers.

Week 6 Dinafem OG kush CBD @St. Tom

Still fighting broad mites on my plants. I've got 2 weeks to get them under control before I have to decide to get rid of everything and start from fresh, or risk introducing new plants to possible mites.

week 7 This may be my final pic. Harvesting the last couple plants in my tent next week and think I may have to get rid of the rest of my plants to rid myself of what I suspect is broad mites. Thinking about letting this girl live in another room, but i'm just not sure that will be enough space to keep from having them work their way back in my tent. Uggg the horror.
