This girl was fun to grow! She handled topping well, even though FastBuds is against topping their autos. She went a bit longer because of topping, but she filled out really nicely. She smelled like chocolate throughout flowering...looking forward to a cure and smoke!
I swapped Bud Factor X out because it’s banned, and the only thing remotely close was Terpinator. Well, they’re nowhere near the same thing - but there was an immediate and noticeable increase in smell of my plants when I added this. I’m excited to smoke this flavorful bud!
I can tell this won’t be a crazy sized harvest, but it should be about average. I’m fine with that because I pushed this lady to the extremes with high PPMs. I was surprised to see such density despite that fact. The only problems she had was dark green leaves from over use of Nitrogen. Even still, she produced really nice buds. I’ve got 10 more of the seeds, so you damn well know I’ll be growing them again soon! I’ll update dry weight and smoke report soon. No point in wet weight because my stem weights would throw it off.
DRY WEIGHT: 30 grams (1.07 oz). No longer has a chocolatey smell -- its very fruity, but in a distinct way. I tried a small nug directly off the hangers and I am blasted right now 😵 Definitely interested to see how she smokes after a few weeks worth of cure! I would like to have gotten a bit more yield from her, but it's possible topping affected her as well as over-nutrie00
@CommanderCannabis, thanks Cmdr.! 🙌 I'm hoping I didn't go too far with the lower lollipopping...but she seems to be putting on some bud weight despite the fact! And she bounced back from what I thought was an over-defoliation. 🤷 Thanks for your input on my grows! I really appreciate it!! I checked out your blog yesterday, too. Cool shit, dude! Nice job on the cabinet! 👌
Looking great this far. I love DWC as I am a RDWC cultivator myself.
I am currently growing 2 Royal 👑 Gorilla’s 🦍, and 1 Gorilla 🦍 Bomb 💣, and 2 Velvet Bud in my garden at the moment that are 35 days into Veg. I just hacked them up starting to do a modified manifold which will extend my Veg by a week or two. I post bi weekly videos to my YouTube Channel. Check it out if you get a chance:

@CRiSPrGrow, now you got me thinking....
I definitely pushed this plant high on the PPM side to kind of see what autos can handle, or at least this strain. I've seen some growers pushing their autos up to around 1000ppm, though they were adding some CO2 from what I understand.
Here's my question: did I give her too much Nitrogen or did I give her too much nutrients altogether? I followed the Advanced Nutrients ratios exactly, but my previous max was around 650ppm -- this time I pushed her to around 900ppm during flower. Do you think I could have reduced the amount of Nitrogen and still had her at 850ppm or something? Just trying to learn something from this....I wouldn't be opposed to modifying ratios during bloom if the plant could handle a higher PPM generally.
Thoughts? Figured I'll copy some other smarter-growers-than-me: @DudeGrowsWeed@Stick @@Athos@BeefWellingtons
@CRiSPrGrow, I’m thinking so too! This strain exploded out of the RapidRooter and the roots are insane. I need to get a pic of those up! Looking forward to seeing this one grow myself!
