11/21 I did half strength nutrients and half strength additives. I’ve been using a lot. & I noticed a little stress, so I’m doing half strength nutrients & raised light. I’ll do a flush with just water end of this week and start the bloom nutrients next Monday.
Going to try the non-auto flower version of this plant. Auto flowers are fast, easy & nice because she can go from seed to bong in 6 weeks if necessary but I can fit three plants of properly topped photos in the same space & get a lot more. Seed to bong in just 6 weeks!!👨🌾That sounds like a great ad.
11/20 she looks really good. She’s growing much better than the other other flowers that I used to use from a different company. I stopped using them. I’m not gonna badmouth a different company but this is much better. I want to try a few more of the Fast Bud auto flowers so far I’m really happy with the results.
11/23 Flowers 💐& tiny diamonds 💎 forming. This is going great, I'm going to start another one today.
11/25 I noticed a huge problem with advanced nutrients B – 52. There were large chunks that formed in my nutrient solution. When I added B-52 I’ve had it before, but it didn’t happen all the time so I’ve decided to throw away the B-52 and not use it anymore. I don’t know what happened. I mixed Carbo load, then bud candy, bud factor X and rhino skin. Then when I added the B-52, the giant chunks formed it was pretty bad. At least I figured out that B-52 was the culprit. Correction I thought it was but the next day I tried something else, got the same results
I mixed up the nutrients without the B 52 and without Carbo load. It might’ve been the two sugars that bud factor X tells you to mix thoroughly before adding... either way I’m not going to use B 52 again. I found info from a few years ago, the old bottle sounded like rocks at the bottom, and it formed an instant giant gross jellyfish blob in the water! so I threw it away. Started over, mixed up a new gallon to test, no blobs, everything’s fine now. The B-52 was old, and maybe it was also the Bud Factor X added 1st to the water then Carboload & Bud Candy that caused it, very gross and could not have been good for my plants..
11/26 Bud Factor X that is the most expensive liter of nutrient that I have purchased and it causes a congealing of other nutrients it looks like a jellyfish inside my nutrient container. I had to buy a new half liter of Connoisseur Bloom, nutrients just to make sure the liter that I bought wasn’t bad. If I had known, then what I know now I would never have invested in advanced goddamn nutrients.
I’m running into the same problem there seems to be a problem using bud factor X and Carbo load or bud candy. It creates a heavy sludge and you have to throw away the whole nutrient mix. I’m not saying advanced nutrients is bad but using 100 dollar bottle of nutrient, along with a seven dollar bottle of nutrient will destroy all of your nutrients I am very unhappy with these people right now.
I noticed that it caused a congealing slime when I added it with the connoisseur line of nutrients it reacts with the darker color one. Now I have also had to throw away my connoisseur nutrients because I think they’re expired or contaminated garbage and I bought a new half liter of Connoisseur Bloom on Amazon.
I’m running into a lot of trouble and I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on advanced nutrients. I think it’s a big mistake so once again I learned a valuable lesson you cannot trust any of these companies
Now I have to find a new line a new line of nutrients I suggest you never purchase Carboload that will destroy everything. It’s like a thick sugar sludge, and the Connoisseur line of Advanced nutrients they just form a sludge as well when mixed with Bud Factor X, the MOST expensive product they have, which I can tell you, I have seen ZERO benefit, probably because all the other nutrients are locked out when these are mixed together. Connoisseur with Carboload, Bud Candy, B-52 & Bud Factor X have given me the large disgusting solid jellyfish looking clot of very expensive nutrients to throw away, or they will damage the plants.......
I feel like I got ripped off… great marketing now and I’ve done research and people complaining about the same things for years. Nothing changes... I got taken for a ride... good to know
I’m going to use up the nutrients that I have, and then finish throwing away another 300 worth of bad nutrients.... and I’m gonna try some thing else
I just ordered BioBizz, grow and bloom. I will use both following their feeding chart. No additives, nothing else. First a flush with 2 gal ph balanced water, then the last 2 liters will be the BioBz mixed 1/2 strength.
Hey @calgonjim, great diary!
Thanks a bunch for growing our Gorilla Cookies Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a nice weekend
Never, you should never use feeding charts. NPK Calculator and strict plan for whole grow period. This is how autoflowers should be grown. Too bad that you met bad nutrients, I had issue with outdated Piranha ~_~ GL & HF
Thanks so much for growing our genetics, will be excited to see them all flourish ☘️ Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help 😎 Happy Growing !!!👨🌾🌲
Very nice. I grew this. Cured half and I can tell you. Mine was so so much better after 3 weeks. You got a lovely pheno. Mine was a real white lady. But, very nice
