I visited my gorilla plants today... and they're still there, so they survived on their own, and weren't even bothered by the snails, that keep munching on sweet basil in my garden

👊 🌈

It's been rainy though 🌁, so they didn't get enough light, but the main problem with these IMO is they don't react well to the natural photoperiod.

I mean they're healthy, strong and everything, but they're gonna produce shit. Probably lest than a half of what my indoor ones are setting for.

They are very different phenotypic expressions too. Colours, leaf shapes, size of calyxes, structure. Everything's different in nature basically as in opposed to indoor environment 🌅

One thing that hasn't changed though is the smell. They're still after the same terpenes. However, these are more delicate and sweeter. But they are younger plants too.

And when I was done with pics I hit my private bamboo patch, where I got a few small stakes for my indoor White Querkle, that was LSTed shortly afterwards 🌾 🌴

These fuckers spread via runner root, which can be a real pain in the ass if it starts breaking into your vegetable beds, so you need to keep these plants under control if they grow nearby. Cement barrier works pretty well! Otherwise they are very hard to stop, and if the soil is fertile, they'll overtake everything in a few seasons.

These for example are young plants, which grow from small shoots, and when they're still tiny they're edible... this stuff is actually VERY popular in Asian cuisine!

And this is my White Querkle after some LST! A bushy plant already, which I hope will gain from a more horizontal style of growing. Three tops were tied down to bamboo stakes basically with some rubber cord, which I reuse 🌏

And this is the tent after the tweak! I think autos will produce better that way. Leaf temperature was in norm when I measured it, and they took it rather well.

They had a visitor today as well 🐱
