Yup, it's kinda freaky right now because the stems are starting to turn red again and in some places it's like half red half green but that's how I know she's coming back with the red stems that are very greasy..........and she's starting to stink again still in veg lol.........
Keep a close eye on the red stems mate, that may be what caused them to get nailed last time. It's could be a manganese or sulphur deficiency. They both usually start with purple stems but can go straight to red. You'll get yellowing leaves as well. Try hitting with a small amount of mag sulphate to start with as it will help if its sulphur. If that doesn't work, try a foliar spray of a iron, zinc and manganese fert or a manganese chelate.

What got her last time was thrips......

I'm giving her time to adjust, last time she was being fed, now she's feeding herself. I put her in organic no till everything she needs is in there plus I foliar spray and water with aloe/coconut extract and seed sprout teas. She's bouncing along, but the red on this strain is one of it's traits, especially the fan leaves on their stems.....

:lol:

Me too brother, I gave her all the organics she needs now let's she what she does for me I still can't believe the dramatic change so quickly
She'll come out like a beast when given the right food, they don't call her gorilla for nothing ;) well, I mean, the name comes from the glue that makes your scissors cake up when trimming, but fuck that, she's a gorilla anyway heh

I get the same on the space monkeys but the red is almost exclusively on the branches not the stems

my last grow,, the GG4 and the J1 both had red stems , and further down the stalks were zebra stripped, and the buds grew nice and fat ,, now they are some of my best smoke
this has been discussed on many thread,, some people think it has to do with Cold temps,, but we all know thats not the case in your neck of the woods,, lol

Yeah the cold would be my last issue lol to say the least if anything ever grows purple here it was meant to be that way lol not because of low temps :)

Checking in from the garden, she's looking happy to me. Have tonights watering/feed bubbling right now. De-chlorinated water, fish fertilizer, ful-power, silica, and sea weed extract. I am waiting for some more growth and trying to be patient before taking cuts and flipping the lights on her lol........have so much time into this plant already why start rushing stuff now huh......

I'm also going to top dress the soil (under the mulch) with malted barley, gotta feed the worms.

Cheers! :bigjoint:

She's been through a lot but still going and looking good. Super crop her and you'll have enough new shoots to clone in a week to 10 days.

Kind of looked like you had spread her legs a bit ;)

Been doing that in party cups to keep my phenos/strains going, works great and reduces space/medium. Have a few ready to clone-the-clone :)

Yeah I wasn't gonna try to save her just to end up with a lanky plant. So I super cropped her and topped everything I could LOL :bigjoint:

And then BOOM! :mrgreen:

Oh snap one of my Sat testers is stacking like your plant in the middle there. I took off the two big fan leaves today so the light would get down there and waiting to see what it does

Yeah any sort of training will generate new and typically fast growth if it's low stress, sounds like what happened with that one. I start training early (e.g. in party cups - lol), sometimes just to start shaping them, sometimes to give them a boost. I like super-cropping and FIM because they recover quick and generate some fast growth.

I am starting to mess with super cropping more in place of topping, and liking the results. I try now to leave "toppings" for when I need to take cuts. If not why lose part of the plant and stress it to that level for no reason.....?

My last 3 rounds I've only been super-cropping and I've pulled some nice plants. A few less tops, but bigger :)
I'm starting to learn quickly that the best thing one can do for their yield is simply to give these girls more space each! Sq footage and media (especially soil)

I am still gonna try a 15 gal pot for the girls in veg right now to see how they do lol........

Here's the big girl today. For today's watering/feed I am now bubbling the seed sprout tea I have prepared from the sprouted Blue Heirloom Organic Corn Seed. I tossed in some coconut powder and aloe powder too. The big girl is going to get a top dressing of malted barley grain under the mulch before the watering. This should be a nice treat for her and the worms.

I think by the end of next week I should have taken some cuts and flipped the lights but we will see. Can't believe how much she has come back so quickly. (:
