Need Gorilla Glue Tip

Started my GG last year. Girl is growing in an Octopot. The Octopot is a hybrid growing system. Google it to see details. Started plant in JULY/2020. Plant is being grown indoors. Girl is over to 5ft in height. from soil line to top. I’m growing in a bathroom so the humidity probably is high. Do not have a meter or a dehumidifier yet. I’ve not had plant on a time schedule. I can control the light in the room. From grow light to total darkness. So my question is what do I need to do at this stage to promote flowering. I feed my GG with Cana boost and Cana Terra Flora. I have Cana Rhizotonic however have not used it in several months. Need some suggestions to close this grow out. Thanks. A Texas grower.

When u flip to flower its gonna double in size. Flip the light schedule to 12 dark 12 light. Make sure it is complete darkness no light interruptions at all or can cause major problems. Wow is all i really have to say. Ur gonna have ur hands full with alot of plant. Before u flip id strip off alot of the fan leaves and wait a cpl days then flip to flower. @Nicky @Hellraiser @Covertgrower @dbrn32 look at this thing lol. What a beast. What kinda light u using for this tree

Lol
That’s a monster… Consider 50% flower stretch you are through the roof😜
If you want to flower you must make sure that she doesn’t get any light at all during 12 hours of the 24h day. As long as she has more that 12h light she won’t start flowering.

Like mentioned, you need 12 hours or more of uninterrupted darkness every day to get it to flower. From time you start that, expect it to be ready to harvest in probably 9-10 weeks give or take.

I’d suggest also looking up the feeding schedule for the Canna line. I also use these for my GG and don’t start the boost until flower. Rhizo Is added til week 3 of flower on the schedule I follow.

Lovely tree you have there! :grin:

GG Plant has light fixture mounted on the wall. I rotate the plant once a day. GG is appears to be thriving. Healthy flowers popping up all over. Unable to mount light fixture on ceiling above plan.

Girl is in my bathroom. She’s not getting any taller. She’s bulking up. I rotate the plant throughout the day. Also I lower & raise the my light to ensure entire plant gets sufficient light.Will post some images of current growth.
Octopot hybrid system is working well.

Hello family my Gorilla :gorilla: Glue girl appears to be ready to whack. Check out my bud pic and let me know if I should whack or wait a bit longer. She is real thirsty.

Close up…Gorilla Glue bud is she ready to harvest yet?

Hard to say for sure. Looks like quite a few fresh white pistils may be done may nees time. A usb microscope would be the way to tell now.

Hey bro. So this is not meant to be mean but just honest. That beautiful plant you got is just way to big for that tiny light. Im not pro but my understanding leaves me to believe for a plant that big you would need about 10 of them all going at the same time. Its all about light penetration. Your not getting enough light to those buds, even with rotating. Im assuming that the pic is of one of your better buds. If thats the case, that looks more like a bud that i would find near the bottom of my babies. It would probably be trimmed to make the bigger buds healthier. No hate brother, great job at making the steps so far.

Nutin but live in receiving your tip. I was very much aware I had a light deficiency. I moved her outside and she suffered from the Texas heat. I started her indoors and she grew indoors for all but 2 days. My other plants are thriving outdoors. They are all outdoor girls. All are flowering now. I’ve harvested that GG beast of mine. Got 4 jars of bud and 1 jar of fan leaves. Next time I use my Octogrow system I will grow an auto-flower and keep her in the 3ft range. Again thanks for the tip
