Strawberry Gorilla Auto

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows, or not, I'll leave that down to you, either way thanks for visiting. 29/4 So, after germ both seeds and gave them another 24hrs after seeing there shells had just cracked and you could see the tap root but it never broke out. On 1 the she'll was actually been pushed open and nearly split. So had to plant both and hope they push out and down/up. I'm using the terra power 3 nutrient compliment. 1 is La Calavera aka voodoo juice and the other 2 are improved upon versions of AN. To see the chart the compare their improved upon nutes check them out on led-grower.eu/terra-power/. Let's wait and see if they pop. I have the light on a 20/4 I know they really don't need light until they sprout, but as 1s were started yday I'm putting on the light now it won't hurt these as they are below the Substrate but I'm expecting the others to show up soon so I need the light to be on and ready for them. It's set at 65% And 45cm from the base of the substrate. 1/5/22 So, I placed these in with very little expectation, and I was right to be that way. Both seeds looked trapped they cracked but no tap root would flick out. So I'll go in 24hrs time if they aren't up and crack 'em open or try take the tap root out so it can grow down and push the husk up. If I can't I'll fully remove and bury it the the top is a few mm from the top and the tap root will go down as far as I can place it. Looks like I'll have to do this with both strawberry gorilla. I'm waiting for FB to get back to me. But been it's a bank holiday, I think they won't make it to be there for their surgery. So went in. Had to. They were trapped in the shells. Lil cute fan leafs all tucked up still forming stuck to the head and tap root. Got 1 in decently. 1 of them the tap root snapped off by about 1/3 by just picking it up. Replanted as best I could on both. Wasn't expecting to have to do this. Happened on both seeds. Of the same strain. Lets see if they come up in 2 days. If not I'll scrap em. Both seeds fully came about but in their own shells. They have tiny lil flower heads that would never transfer enough energy. She seed pushed her but she got caught. They opened up inside the grow and both got stuck on the bend. I've opened them up. Dropped them into the soil opened their flower heads best I could and poured a like mix of nutrients. But I highly doubt this are gonna pop. They used up their energy, (life) but hey, the pots are staying empty. So I'm trying it, But I have a seed germinating already. SG has made a fool of me and it's the seeds and 2 from the same pack with 1 left. So, yeah. I'm not wasting anymore time on Strawberry Gorilla folks. Ganja runtz coco will be coming up in instead. After all, they did send 3 seeds. Only seems right theres should be first in line as a back up. FAILED.COM 6/5/22 Restart is in the ground. Germinated and all. Very poxy slowly. I'm having really bad luck this time with seeds just a 66% success ratio. 2 Dutch passion seeds in the paper towel 15hrs now, and nothing yet. Grrrr what the hell am I doing wrong. 7/5/22 Can see the seed pushing up. I'd say by tomorrow she'll fully pop. Same goes for Ganja Runtz and CBD CA. Hoping she is able to follow through as this is my only seed of this strain left, so if she dies, or gets browning of the stem or anything like that, bye bye SG. I'm dying to try it though. Let's see. 9/5/22 Explosive growth. Can see this one being a true auto. No doubt she'll be in your guide window harvest range of 9-11wks. Have some really interesting methods and a whole host of new gear, tent/lights/co2/co2 ppm reader/grow room is 100% a sealed environment/AC temp controlled intake 800m3 6 inch intake fan/20L dehuimifier. I'm set up to knock this round out of the park, and if I fuck it up. Or don't get the desired results this time. Well there'll be some1 who'll be getting a hell of deal on all my gear. And I'll be going back to my 70x70 and keeping it simple. 11_5_22 After a 2 day soft flush, I've upped the nutrient terra Power and all nutrient mixes up and plants are starting to show light defs. Nothing that's going to throw them into a stall or anything, and I don't want to overfeed neither. PPM I'm been careful with. 980 5.9 PH. 1020 ADVN 6.3ph 950 5.7ph jungle juice and terra power 13/5/22 Well, another lady lying on its side. I must have put the soil in too loose. As it keeps caving in and this is the 4th plant that once the roots push through the soil or waterings are collapsing the soil structure and they keep falling over. Think I need to add more coco+perlite. Am going to leave her for 2/3 more days then going to transplant it. Thanks for reading. gottagrowsometime

Welcome to my strawberry gorilla diary. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows. 16/5/22 Wk 2 VD8. Uppotted her and moved into new tent. Wasn't root bound. So, 1 wk in a 1.7L and then uppot. I had to wait, as I was waiting on my new tent and then it took me 2 days to set up everything. Hopefully there won't be much shock as I know the rest will go into shock as I had to break up the soil in all the pots as they were all root bound. Gave all 2ml/L of La Calavera (voodoo juice), poured 200ml into the hole then put in her into and folded soil over and poured another 200ml on top of that. Have lowered the light to 50% for 12hrs as you don't wanna put too much strain on them if they have shock. 17/5/22 Explosive growth the last 24hrs. 18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years. But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. This plant was also it the wrong range but nearly all my grows are coming into this range and I'm going to try and hold it for as long as I can before I have to make 2 different environments in my tent inside a tent 20/5/22 Great growth the last 24 hrs. Have upped the EC to fall in range with the other plants 21_5_22 Fed today, was just water with 2ml/L of biobizz calmag with fire yields 2ml/L mix Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Welcome to my strawberry gorilla diary. Be sure to drop a like, comment or follow so I can visit your grows. Week 3 VD15.. 24/5/22 Great growth far. Going to start applying LST, and I'll either top or FlMing her. Yet to be decided. 25/5 Flming'ed and done a bit of defoliation. 30/5/22 Doing ok. Short in size. Hoping she'll put on a few inches this week.

Welcome to my diary. Like if you want me to visit your grows. Either way thanks for stopping by. Happy growing. VD22 She's staying small. Hopefully she'll put on a good few inches this week. She's healthy though but Fliming'in autos is a waste of time. There's not enough veg time. I'm going to leave it though. VD27 Nice shape to her. She's small. 33cm. The Fliming has worked well. 4 nice nodes have popped up nice and close. And 4 underneath. Should make for a nice top cola and has a decent short bushy structure. She's very close to pre-flowering. Maybe even there. 9/6 I've been very lazy and just let her grow. Very little in the way of LST, practically none. But she has grown into a lovely little shape. You can see the Flming, glad I did it. For an auto I was worried there wouldn't be enough veg time. Idk if it's meant to look this way. But I can see 4 nodes coming off the top and 4 below it.

Week 5. Flowering day 1. Has been flowering maybe a day or 2 more. But hey. Really nice growth. Lovely little plant. Haven't done much in the way of LST, just Flming'ed and fed and was careful with this one as she's my only strawberry gorilla. Pity I wasn't as careful with the rest of my girls, but this was soil. I forgot how easy it is to burn plants than using just coco. Just ever so lightly overfeeding fucus up everything if you don't catch it early enough. This was the case with my Gorilla Zkittlez For AN which looks in a sorry state. 11/6/22 Tried my hand at lollipopping, not a bad job. Soon she'll be under a P1000 with my SF1000 in-between my 2 P1000.

Week 6. Wish I would of done more LST and make a better canopy. I might try pull the sides out a little, have to be very careful not to break the nodes. Will pull out lightly and do it a bit more every few days. Put on 5cm so far. The fliming'ed has really stopped any stretch in its tracks. Or maybe it's just the temp. 27/6 So, finally I got round to doing a bit of late LST to this girl. As it would have kinda defeated lollipopping her and making for a good top canopy and not done some LST to open up that canopy to get the best bud quality I can.

Week 7. 1/7 Haven't had chance to update here in a few days relating to this diary. There hasn't been much in the way of things I've done, just adjusted LST ties where needed. But she is taking to pre flower well. Thanks to Flimg she is staying short and not stretching at all. Now, I can't say that's the whole reason. But I'd say if I hadn't of done it she would of done some serious stretching. She hasn't thankfully. Thankfully the temp has dropped to 28C. It's a little high. But OK. 4/7 okay so yday we got a heatwave and it isn't leaving anytime soon. So temps are just getting too high. I now have cool air on tap but it's having a hard time still getting the temp down. Went to 35c yday and I just couldn't wait any longer had to set up my AC (not proper AC, hillbilly AC) so my attic is attached to many many other houses and there is little gaps big enough that makes a very swift draft and that and constantly dark the air is normally at 16-18c jumped to 22c yday but I've had to adjust my lights to 4-2. And when my 300watt comes on my 3x100watts go off and come on during the night the same time when it's coolest and I've my 800m3 turning on at full power and it's all in the attic so I can't even hear it. I actually woke up and was very cold, checked the temp in my room and checked the memory and came down from 31c to 26c with all lights on. Much better, especially for my plants coming into late flowering.

Week 8. FD21 D51. Plant is doing well. Has stopped growing in height. So looks like she's set at 60cm. Good few weeks to go in flower on this one. She's leaving pre flower and stacking on frost. This is the 1 of them strains that you can actually smell strawberries off her really early on. She is so pungent and sticky. Can't wait to see what colors she throws out 11/7;Finally she is starting to throw off some terps. Wonder will she give off any red. So, pre flower ended afew days ago and in the next week or so I'll know how big the buds will be. Thanks for reading. FYI.

Week 10..fd 36 in the ground 66 days. She's nearly done. Am going to throw her on triton and she can I push her some. She won't get any fatter but hoping the THC will blow me away. Still waiting for that elusive A grade bud. Hoping this is it as I pushed for Quality with this girl. Done heavy lollipopping and stripping and she's doing well.

Week 11, D71 Flower Day 41. She's super frosty. And very sticky and sticky. Smells of fresh cut strawberries and a light musky sweet earthy smell. Not a whole lot of bud, but what's there is tops by the looks of it. I'm hoping this is going to be the A grade bud I've been looking for. Plant has been thrown into soft flush. Been given terra powers finisher. 1ml/L 150 ppm and ph + adjusted to 6.7. Should of just let it grow normal. Lessons learnt. But overall I'm very happy with the results, all a bit lacking but frosty and smells stawlishes. COUPON CODE FOR MARS!! Use Code GGS to get a small discount at any marshydro site. Thanks to everyone who followed and commented. It's been a fun grow. Little bit of light nutrient burn other than that, I've had 0 problems. Not 1 def, standing tall since she's in the ground. Even though she wasn't let grow o'natural I've seen what I can get, 1 main top cola and smaller colas on the side instead of 50-70cm small plants. Hopefully I'll get 50-70cm nodes with a big ass frosty cola on my next run, and then I'll be able to say for sure, that topping isn't the way to go with autos. As I've topped every single 1 I've grown and the tallest plant I could get was 90cm. Either it's the topping or not grown to its peak performance. HARVEST DAY. She's frosty. I've seen more frosty SG but I'm happy with this with how I crippled her growth. But in stunning her height I do think I've made for some A grade Bud up top. There is some airy bud at the very end. But she's the most potent FB have, so I'm expecting 🔥. Thanks for reading, be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows my friends. Either way, thanks for dropping by. gottagrowsometime

She grew fast, was no trouble. Vegged out around 30 days. Pre flower there wasn't much of a stretch because of the Flming. What was meant to happen was she was meant to stop cold in her tracks growing in height, and she was meant to throw out 4 nodes on top, (tis what happens when you Flming) i knew this wouldn't happen but I was hoping for 1 big superbud. But for that, the nodes needed to grow a few CM, especially the 2 end ones and they were meant to grow some and form a nice big bud on top. But I got a funny shaped unformed total bud. Its okay, it's frosty and she grew no issues, took everything like a champ, a bit of nutrient burn, but, I've come to take that with synthetic nutrients. Had a real easy time with this girl. Pity only 1 out of 3 seeds popped. Well, they popped but failed to throw out any leafs and just died. But for what I did get, I'm super happy with the results. Think she's my best looking grow so far. In the pic its 17g and I smoked more than that, how I know is cause all I had left was the top and I smoked more than half of the nodes while it was drying. She's my favourite so far from FB.
