Thanks again @keeno
So here we are DAY 63 FLOWER.

I have decided GORILLA GLUE is about there now, so ive chopped some buds from top half of plant,
and will do the rest over the next day or 2.
(let me know how my 'manicured' buds look please)

And as for Bubblegum X Fat Hog & GHCheese, well cheese is nearly there 50/50 clear/milky and Bubblegum is prolly
still 2 weeks away. But not in so much of a rush to chop, however could do with them down by 30th october,
as my new grows will need the groom by then.
I have give them both quite a big feed today with a couple of new nutes added.

09th October - Bubblegum & Cheese, 2000ml water + 4ml Terpinator, 2ml CBoost. Gorilla nothing.
10th October - Bubblegum & Cheese, 1000ml water + 4ml Terpinator, 2ml CBoost. Gorilla nothing.
11th October - Bubblegum & Cheese, 2000ml water + 6ml Terpinator, 2ml Overdrive, 5ml Rhino skin, 4ml A&B, 4ml B-52, 4ml Superdrive. GORILLA - Harvesting begins.

You really need to think about flushing your weed through with water only for at least a week but more like 2 weeks till all leaves are turning yellow for a better tasty smoke that's not so harsh on throat and doesn`t go out every drag. Summink to bear in mind Ming

Gorilla had 8 days water only,
The other two had their final feed last night, then water only until 30th october.
I was going by trichs gorilla was 50/50, cheese & bubblegum are now 50/50
but im letting them go to 20% amber - theyve got 19 days until their harvested.

So water only then will turn all the leaves that are now green - yellow?
I see alot of people who dont have any leaves on colas before harvest.

Now im harvesting gorilla the other 2 can take as long as they need (ideally down by 31st october.
And my new diaries those 2 gelatos auto and 2 photos can take til February if needed.

So thanks for the info ill defo be watching for that yellowing.

I run mine on water only for 2 weeks but they are grown in coco, but 2 weeks of water only turns the majority of leaves yellow on my plants and rest generally are a pale green. I`m not sure growing in dirt cus ive never done it. But if i grow a 10week bloomer i slam them on water at 8 weeks. To be honest i have an inclining it may take a wee bit longer in dirt depending on how much ferts the soil is holding, but not totally sure.

Remember though plants are still getting fed even though your only giving water cus its leaves that store the food in form of carbs so buds still grow. Even if it takes 3 weeks in dirt its worth doing but you dont wanna overcook the bud, theirs a short window when its cock on before it starts to lose that pZazz which is generally a 7 to 14 day window when buds at its most potent. So its all about judging it rightly of when you put them on water, but after a few grows in soil of doing it you`ll soon suss it out.

So here we are DAY 68 flower for BUBBLEGUM X FAT HOG & CHEESE,
Gorilla Glue was cut, trimmed and hung yesterday, so far with the bits i took
last week only are 24g dry.
So its looks like im on target for around 100g easily.
And the smoke already is excellent as good as i get from a street dealer.
Does have the glue aroma with what i wouldve said is diesel.
Lights and smokes smooth already a nice body high..
Once GG is dry ill update the final dry weight.

BG & Cheese are looking very good, cheese has a good maybe 60/40 clear/milky,
whereas Bubblegum is still mainly clear and lots of white pistils yet so shes at least a week behind cheese.
But no rush im waiting till i can clearly see 80/20 amber.

13th October - No food today.
14th October - Bubblegum & Cheese, 1000ml water + 6ml Terpinator, 2ml Overdrive, 5ml Rhino skin, 4ml A&B, 4ml B-52, 4ml Superdrive. Gorilla Glue - 1000ml Water, Cola Cut & Hanging.
15th October - No food today.
16th October - No food today. Gorilla Glue Harvested & Hung.
