I think I am supposed to put kit info, here? seems that over the years these contests or seed testing has become complicated. you young whipper snappers are quick on the uptake.
not me.

lights, one 300 watt Blackstar, one 135 watt Blackstar, one Vipar 300 watt reflector series. and one uvb bulb @375 nm. total true watts about 400.
tent is 40 inch's square 78 inch's tall. one reciprocating 48 inch tower fan.
grow medium promix bx @ 66% coarse [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] perlite@33% amended with azomite, earth juice Myco. and Espoma gardentone for vegetables.
this tagging stuff, I don't know how to
were off like a pair of dirty underware.two in soak overnight. then in to peat. who will be king of the jungle???

@St. Tom update Dinafem auto gorilla. two small ones, NOT the smallest, that's mystery girl. also Dinafem auto cookies solo grow.

@St. Tom Dinafem auto gorilla. don't know witch one will be the ONE day 17. all rode hard and put away wet

@St. Tom Dinafem gorilla auto day 26 vegging well. each received a gallon of full strength vegging mix. not sure when I am picking THE one? is there a time limit?

nafem auto Gorilla. day 29 two doing well. @St. Tom still on veg,

week 5 update
Dinafem auto gorilla. day 35 they are taking their time to flower.that's a good thing because they are getting big
I have a pic of the mystery girl in post, because sprouted same time, and throwing flowers. I have picked the ONE. it has popcicle stick in pot.
mystery girl will get full bloom. the gorilla twins get a transition mix to start up some buds.

week 6 update

week 7 update
Dinafem Auto cookies. day 49. @St. Tom and @Dinafem-Mark Mark I have a question...…. I looked at what you wrote about Gorilla morphology.
in the dinafem thread. a cross between Indica and ruderalis. and they would stay short. sorry my friend these girls are huge. the show girl is 4 feet tall.
her sister is at 45 inch's. and looking at Rebels, she has the same thing happening. where is this height coming from?? if they stretch any more they will be
above the lights. I have no more adjustment room. in a 61/2 ft tent.

week 8 update
dinafem auto Gorilla. feeding time again. this is like work. contestant has stopped growing at 50 inch's , with three inch's removed.
twin sister stopped at 48. also mystery girl, same age is done.full gallon no runoff.

update. Dinafem auto gorilla. day 63. these girl are hard to handle, so friggin big they bump in to everything. they will be going for90 days for sure. and bud is coming on strong. @St. Tom , @Dinafem-Mark . hey mark what's going on with over four foot autos?? not complaining.

week 10
Dinafem auto gorilla day 70. since we are reaching the end of grow time??? and there is a question weather it's the 19th. of the month?? or the end of the month??? starting today, I will show only contest girl. to not confuse anyone with her twin sister. full bloom given, still no runoff.
her twin may have been a better choice, but decision made. you can see the twin on my home thread.

official update day 85 Dinafem auto Gorilla. with her twin sister in the drying closet, not enough space for the other. the one left has slightly smaller buds, BUT much more dense. rock hard and heavy. you can see the buds bending the stalks. it will take another four days for first one to be dry. so it looks like 90 days will do it. thank you all. for everything. not final pics. I have included a room shot with GHD and Walter White@St. Tom

harvest pic

thank you one and all

[the green bandit]

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

I’ve started this seed from the back of a drawer in the hope that it’ll force the gorilla seeds to arrive tomorrow. Kinda like lighting a cigarette when you’re waiting for a bus.

If the gorilla pips turn up tomorrow I’ll scrap this one.
