GG in the front and back right with GDP in the back left.
GG #2 got topped last night and will be exploding with growth this next week.
GG #1 is already stretching and getting ready for flower.
Snapped a branch last night while training. Good thing is that it was prior to flower, so it will only make the remaining branches fuller.
GDP standing tall getting ready to explode.
I am excited for this GDP. It is going to be massive.
Can't wait for these bud sites to fill in.
Full flowering should begin by next weekend.
Best thing about these pots is there are so many spots to tie down branches for some low stress training.
GG #2 will begin its low stress training this week.
One thing I really love about autos is how fast they grow. My gorilla glue plants are about 4 and a half weeks old and things are moving along right on schedule with them. The last gorilla glue that I grew was just a few days over 8 weeks old when I harvested it, which leaves right about 4 more weeks for these two ladies to flower.
The GG #1 popped up out of the soil a day before the other one, but it seems to be a few days ahead in terms of progression. It is quite a bit larger than the other one, but it wont take GG #2 to catch up. GG #2 finally had enough branches for me to cut the top to prevent it from growing anymore, so now it will begin to focus on getting wider and not too much taller. I had topped the GG #1 a few days ago, and since then, it has really begun to stretch its branches out more, allowing me to begin some low stress training.
I did break one of the branches on GG #1 last night, but it isn't too big of a deal to me because it happened so early that it hadn't started flowering, so I am not losing anything. It may end up being the opposite and cause the remaining branches to be more full and the buds to get fatter. I really like trying to get the training in early and move the branches around and tie them down so that all the leaves can get an equal amount of light and the lower branches aren't getting blocked by the bigger fan leaves above them.
I am super excited for the Granddaddy Purple to really start growing. The first couple weeks are usually pretty slow and don't look like too much is going on. But the important stuff is all happening under the soil. The first couple weeks, you want to make sure that you are watering properly so that your plants have a strong root system to gather nutrients and support the plant. Some people end up watering too little during this stage, which makes the roots really shallow and can stunt growth. The opposite can also be true and if you over water, you will stunt the growth of the roots because they don't need to stretch to find any water. Over watering can also drown a fragile seedling, so always keep an eye on your soil to make sure that it needs water before you add any. When I do add water to the GDP, I have been giving it almost double what the other plants get because when I water, I want to make sure to drench the entire 7 gallon pot.
This next week should be pretty exciting because the GG plants are going to start their bud development. If they are any like the previous GG, they will fatten up pretty quickly. The last GG I grew had the best bud structure of any plant that I have grown, so I am excited to see if I can get the same results or better with these ones. One thing I really love about growing is that I have gotten better with each grow, and the quality of my plants have gotten so much better. Things are getting really exciting in the tent.

The Gorilla Glue's are looking great and growing at an astounding pace. It seems like yesterday they were seedlings.
The low stress training looks really good with that method, great use of the holes in the pot, those are super nice.
Can't wait to see the Granddaddy Purple take off!
The 7 gallon pots take a little getting used to, because the evaporation rate isn't always even, especially during earlier root development. A little top (partial) watering here and there is not a bad idea during early root stage development when the top soil starts drying and the bottom of the pot is still heavy. That soil seems pretty aerated too and you shouldn't have any issues.
Keep up the great work bro! 💪👍
Thanks homie. These gorilla glues are growing super fast. It will be interesting to see how much they yield with this new soil. I am going to be using the rest of my Dutch Pro Explode with them to fatten them up, but I got some new flowering nutrient that I am going to be trying with the GDP.
I told you it gets better every time, man. They look good growing up. GDP looks like parsley lol.
Lol. It's just a baby, but she is about to hit a growth spurt.
Makes me want to grow an auto again! They are fun watching them grow!
That one gg looks like it’s already getting a fade in the leaves, going to be a good one!
I love autos. They are so fast, so you can try out a bunch of strains.
Looking really nice man!
Great plants i am yours Bigmack germinating and the others two sdxsc, white grape are so amazing :D
Nice man. Ive heard so much great stuff about the Bigmack and how good it is.
Looking gucc
I was into this for about 2 decades.. Got thousands of beans... Great work!
That is a killer color~ Nice healthy ones :)
