Gold Leaf Grobo *HARVESTED*


Trouble has struck! I did not drain/fill last week as I lost track of days and I trusted she would be okay. Well, we lost WiFi on Wednesday morning amd I still hadn’t done anything with her reservoir.

Friday night I finally had time to get to filling her manually and She doesn’t even need a drain because she has less than 1/2 a gallon water and the roots are there filling the reservoir. I’m not touching them. I left the water & filled res with 1-1/2 gallons water.

Two days after manual drain/fill She seems unbothered. At the time, I did not manually dose out any of the Grobo nutrients. I made sure to pH down and dosed out the appropriate amount for readings:
pH of 5.9
ppm 720.
I’m going to take a third round of clones in a few days as her lowers look soooo healthy now, about 4-8 inches. She’s praying soo much! WiFi back tomorrow (supposedly…Xfinity :expressionless:) so I’m not worried about her. She seems healthy!

Any input always appreciated :slight_smile:

Back and at it with WifFi! It was a long week…


Her leaf tips appear burnt for whatever reason, I’m not sure. I filled her with ~1.5 gal H2O and waited for nutrients to dispense and added 2mL of Orca to the res.

As it’s the last day of transition and she appears to be budding now, I took the majority of her lower branches off to take clones. This should help focus the development of flowers (at least that was my intention!)
Anyone need an extra clone? I’m going to have plenty :joy:

@SilverGrobo your Grobos both look amazing, just saw them in your post! Can’t wait to see how they turn out, and would love more pictures :eyes::eyes:
How does your LED work? And why use that over the pre-installed one? Just curious :yum:

I’m hoping I won’t have to supercrop this lanky lady in my Grobo, now that you mention it. I was certainly expecting her to be a bit shorter but this will do. I’m sure all my cables will help me tie her down one way or another :joy::sweat_smile:

It’s always a learning process. I wish I could grow dozens at a time :sleeping: one day!!

She needed to be tied down!


The tallest branches were propped over, and were rather malleable. They did not require bending of the branches. The two branches are being held down with some drying wires that were pulled from lower in the canopy. The canopy is lying at the same height as the small white box on the back wall inside the unit. Keeping everything even at the canopy is optimal so I assumed that doing this early in flower would be beneficial. She appears t have finished her (long) stretch!

If I grow this cultivar inside the unit again I will beware of her stretch! At least now I know for the clones, which I plan on flipping earlier than in the Grobo. I’d recommend this strain as she grows fast and very easily. But flip before the first fan!

I now see that implementing the wires earlier in veg would’ve allowed me better control over the branches.

We live and learn! I’m glad she’s budding up nicely, and beginning to reek of tropical fruit!

Thicker and more pungent every day!

I suppose I will need help with defoliation when the time comes. She’s so frosty I don’t want to pluck any frosty ones, but I’ll be taking a few off the top on or around day 21, she’s getting crowded and some of the leaves sweat. I keep the humidity 45-50% inside the unit.ambient temp around canopy 75-88°F

Yesterday I topped off and she drank 1/2gallon, I decided to add 1mL of Big Bud to the 1gal jug I used to fill the reservoir.

I also defoliated! I took notes from many different threads on here, but I decided to defoliate before day 21 as she looks soooo healthy and frosty and I’d like to help push her toward bud development as best as I can while maintaining proper health.

Here’s a pic from yesterday:

I don’t see any crazy stacking yet, but the amount of frost already in flower and the reek of these terpenes is incredible! Sweet mango and funky goodness. Certainly desirable. I can imagine the smells coming out of the jars already…

Here we are. 100 days of Gold Leaf in my Terpinator 3000! She was set for 38 days flower but I added a week just in case I need it.

This thing is amazing. Just gorgeous. I’m so proud :relaxed: Every day I am surprised by the frost and bud development. The added tint of purple is a nice touch. She’s flopping over and can barely hold her tops up. :star_struck::star_struck::star_struck:


Heat wave near me got the outdoor temp at 86°F. Trying my best to curb it but who knows. Maybe we’ll see some fox tailing in a few days :eyes::eyes: all eyes on her.

Cannot wait to get a dry weight on this pretty girl. Her clones are sitting neatly in 1 gallons ready to go :crossed_fingers:

In case anyone is wondering, I just harvested some Jack Herer AutoFem a day or two ago by Demonic Genetics on Strainly.


I messed up the feeding schedule on my autos and locked them out. Then I over watered trying to correct it. Thankfully this JH was a beast and flowered well throughout. Can’t say the same for the other 3… sheesh what could’ve been :joy::joy::man_shrugging: We live and learn! I’m certainly not upset as I just smoked a little tester bud I let dry outside of the tent. Talk about POTENT. And sticky. Yes sir :muscle:

This was the last pic of the 4 of them together in the tent, a few days ago over the weekend.

Thank you growmie @Fluffhead I am so psyched :joy: I’ve got too many beans to choose from for my next go. And also hot sauce to put all over them before I smoke so I know it’s super fire :green_heart::seedling: can’t wait to test them all out. :raised_hands: so many new strains out there but chemdawg and all of its many lineages are epic and the original is so distinct I can’t wait to pop and get a whiff of that lemony gas.

I have some really great options. I keep forgetting to lay out all of my seeds to decide from but that will happen very soon!
