Cold season has already started it will end in mid Feb. From 2 days it's foggy nights my little outdoors has already started producing buds and are little frosty. Today it's 100% Humidity overnight so it should be more frosty and dense 2morrow. It has 3 months to absorb good and clear fog (pollution less) and mature and give me good bud size and potency before summer starts let's see

See how the newest leaves look unhealthy on the gg? That's what I mentioned in your earlier photo. I think it might have a iron deficiency.

How to fix Cannabis Iron Deficiency (Fe) Pics & Symptoms

Problem: A cannabis iron deficiency causes bright yellow leaves on new growth. This deficiency is usually caused by problems with pH.

You can use the fox farm but I don't think you should. I think you should test your runoff pH. Maybe go to growdiaries.com and search for grows of your cultivars and get a general idea of how people feed them and the results they get. Also you should have done so by now but if you haven't, go and search for grow journals for your auto's here on this site in the 'grow journals' section.

Did you read that page about iron deficiency? The plant in that photo had too much manure, and auto's are usually lighter feeders than normal plants, don't you think it looks a bit like that? Maybe that plant has too much manure in it's soil?

They look much better now. They really like the potting mix you gave them. Is that the MahaGro?

If the PE is preflowering now that's normal. GG no longer has any deficiencies, I think she'll continue getting healthier over the next week and start growing faster, but there's a chance it's just an old seed or bad genetics. Which breeder are they from? Barney's Farm? Fastbuds? Maybe you meant gorilla glue, I just searched for some 'gorilla grow auto' and nothing comes up at all which leads me to believe it's gorilla glue, I don't know if you're aware but gorilla glue is a very popular strain and there will be hundreds of diaries on it.

Nobody can really answer those last 2 questions but just continue doing what you're doing and expect the plants to give you nothing, that's the only way to not be disappointed at harvest time, IF it comes. Remember any number of things could happen between now and harvest, your plants could get stolen or get spidermites or mould etc..
Actually if you're used to growing plants with good fungal resistance you may have to be extra careful with these plants as their immunity will be weaker and will get rot much easier. Don't stress too much over it but do make sure they don't get too wet once they have buds.

I've only purchased seeds twice, the first order from single seed centre years ago before they shut down then reopened, I was happy with them, but I see they have A LOT of recent negative reviews on seedfinder.eu.
The other order was from green parrot. I ordered a 5 pack from them but they sent me a 3 pack then when I asked what they were gonna do about it they asked for a photo of the seeds, which I gave them, then didn't hear back from them. IF I purchase again I'll ask them if they will give me the 2 seeds from my last order and if not I'll go elsewhere. I see they have a lot of really good reviews on seedfinder though and I have a friend who had a good experience with them too.

Then how will you grow every year if you don't buy will you make seeds yourself by pollination

Leave them on a wet paper towel for about 4/5 days somewhere warm,I use a small plate put paper towel on that is damp ,put the seeds on .Then more paper towel on top.Make sure you mark strain if doing more than one.I don't even bother with this ,I aint bothered about name,quality is more important to me .Then into a sealer bag close it up ,then wrap a towel around it ,in winter put some where warm.Leave then for around 4 days before checking ,you want a constant temp ,rather than warm then cold and so on,Great place is where the boiler is ,in winter.Good look i done a post on here called the clam method somewhere,But where it is now no idea ,not to keen on this new set up .I have lost a load of info i needed for future,jornal wise ,so gutted about that .I really needed that to .But a few have also said same about that section ,wtf happened,years of work gone

Looks nice on the dinafem website. Did you see this diary on it?

I don't think it's the humidity stunting the gorilla, but maybe. There seems to be a lot of people saying their dinafem seeds took a while to get going but then started catching up to their other plants. Maybe yours will too.

In the west we call that "supercropping" when we bend the stems or branches over until it kinks. It won't harm the plant, as long as you don't do more than that. It's good that you tied it down because it would have stood itself back up, but it's better getting held down. It will become a knuckle like this...

012.jpg002.jpg022.jpg

This was the second plant I harvested, bagseed (found in some bought weed) grown under about 24w of CFL, in a box in my bedroom. Was about 10 grams after being dried, shucked, and trimmed. I don't advise growing in boxes. I didn't have any mishaps but I can't foresee what will happen in anyone else's home. This was a bad idea and I shouldn't have grown in something so flammable. I saw other people had done it and copied them. It was very foolish of me.

Please don't do this.

I also don't care about people who say it's such a waste of time to grow silly little plants like this. The value of this plant was to gain experience, to use in the future, something many people don't know how to do these days.

Edit: About the seeds, I made my own from the two successful female seeds from my first order, and a bagseed male. I also keep clones in veg of the plants I want to keep. The plant in my profile picture was a "mother plant" (plant kept in veg to take cuttings from for flowering) that had been in veg for probably over a year but kept in really small pots to keep her size down, then I set her free into Mother Earth to give me the gifts you see in the photo.
She was a freebie seed from my first order, the strain was 'Tijuana' by Blimburn Seeds. I can highly recommend her, she has a massive yield, finishes in about 10 weeks of flower, tastes like a sweet, sugary cake mix and is very pungent. Nice up high but can knock you over if you have too much.
Here's a pic that shows one of her branches 'supercropped'...
