I must say I am quite pleased with Gorilla Cookies Auto, it could not have been a better strain to start with. Fast growth, easy to maintain, and a very impressive yield. Has done some (very) early smoke testing, and she does not dissapoint. However, I would have to come back and give a more detailed review after curing is done.
Since I did not harvest the whole plant at once, I will add the dry weight when everything is done
The Gorilla Cookies Auto proved to be an excellent choice for a first-time grower like myself. Her robust nature and willingness to respond well to training techniques made her a true learning companion. While I'd heard topping autoflowers could be risky, inducing stress and hindering growth, Gorilla Cookies took it in stride. Her impressive growth rate and final size were a constant source of satisfaction throughout the cultivation process.
Of course, the journey wasn't without its stumbles. My inexperience led to overfeeding and overwatering on occasion, likely causing issues I may not have even recognized. Despite these missteps, Gorilla Cookies displayed remarkable resilience, eventually emerging as a success story.
The harvest has been a methodical affair this week. Following the principles of selective harvesting, I began with the most prominent top colas, gradually working my way down the plant.
I am a little sad to see her go, but already looking forward to growing her again.
Snapped 2 branches while trying LST for the first time. Any idea how bad this is for my plant? Should I stop training to avoid more stress since I already topped her this week, or any other advice on how to redeem this mistake? 😩
It happens, you're fine. Honestly I remove those first node branches(sometimes the 2nd too)anyway as they tend to grow stretchy with large gaps between nodes. When using LST, take baby steps when working with stems that are starting to stiffen up.
You'll be fine with the lack of air movement at this stage of your grow, shouldn't cause you any issues! As long as you got a replacement fan coming at some point within too long, I would not worry😇
Congrats on your first harvest, looks like the grow went well. I have a 2x2 also, and have found that one healthy plant usually fills the space. Good move on the outdoor plant.
