Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies, Lemon Cherry Cookies, Papaya Cookies - 90x90x180 / 100W Run (First Grow)
Gorilla Cookies & Papaya Cookies: 25L Pot with Biobizz All Mix, they get 1ml/L
Lemon Cherry Cookies: 19L Pot with Biobizz Light Mix, so she gets 4ml/L
- to clear up any possible confusion, there is no specific reason as to why i have the Lemon Cherry in the smaller pot with another soil mix, it just turned out that way-

So the initial firs try at LST turned out to be okay, but i lost a pair of leafs and realized its pretty annoying to do it with the garden wire, since the fabric pots are moving alot if i try to move them a little, resulting in too much pulling at the connected parts, so need to be careful about that.
Also i used the LST clips the first time. i think i will continue the kind of spiral shape its taking on, sounds good, at least as a novice, in my head.
The Lemon Cherry Cookies is still too small in terms of height for me to try some LST, also i cannot fill up the pot with more soil cuz shes too small. on my next grow will also definetly keep that in mind to fill the pots up all the way.
Kinda creeped out that after 3 days the soil still is not fully dry, its slightly moist still, just a little. but i will keep following the advice rather to little than too much. i think latest tomorrow morning i will water them finally. must also be the high humidity in the last 2 days. edit: i did end up watering her the same day at night, was the right choice at least by the way they looked after watering.

Damn when i looked into the tent today and took a closer look i got a little paranoid because its the first time seeing the pistillons! So at Week 4 Day 3 showing the earliest signs of Flower, just like the Lemon Cherry Cookies, which is still very small in terms of height, which makes me a little sad- but then again, they had a rough start.
I just would have liked for them to have one more week of pure growing, as i fear they will end up not that big. But for my first grow i will be very happy with minimum 40g per Plant.

went a little crazy with the LST clips, but very satisfied overall especially at the top its nicely spread now.
08.09.2024:
sadly one of the branches snapped on one of the LST clips, as i saw in the morning. it was barely hanging on the last flop of skin. i carefully reattached it and put a bandage around it, not long after i also added garden wire tightly wrapped around it. i hope it will recover in the next few days.

happy with the growth and look of the new Papaya Cookies. Still worried about the Lemon Cherry though. she has to get taller!! also one of the leafs on top is covering a lot of new branches, so im thinking removing it will help to boost her. the most LST i can do on her so far is bend her a little to the side with wire at the top to open it up at least a little bit. The temps are finally dropping more so its around 26 Grad Celsius during the day, 22-23 at night

the Gorilla is growing nicely by now for sure. just worried she will get way too tall compared to the rest so it will be hard to give each plant the light it needs. also finally removed the one pair of leafs and all the little new growth can feed on the light now! Temps cooling even more, summer is slowly over here in my part in Germany. Tent temps around 22-23 Grad Celsius.
Maybe i will make a second grow diary for the Papaya Cookies, since the older two are already pre flowering and i cant keep the correct week-settings for the Papaya.
Im afraid my Gorilla will outgrow the Lemon Cherry significantly in height, will that be a big problem? or will the lemon cherry maybe catch up a bit in full flower so the difference in light intensity wont be that big? both same age. Spiderfarmer SF-1000 (2024 Version)
You can use pot boosters or LST to control the canopy height. This way they are all aorund the same. Legit any bucket or box under the shorter plant will work.
You can also useing topping as an option but it will hurt yeilds on autoflowers. Photos and Fast versions only.
Some plant explode in growth in flower so it might catch up. but hard to say. best to look at other diaries of that strain and see how theirs went. Take into account different grow styles maybe part of it. Soil vs hydro, amendments vs liquid nutrients.
Good Luck!
I’ve just grabbed them LST clips for my next run, I had the same problems with the wire to and fabric pot convo, especially if your picking them up later on to check if there dry, risky😂
Looks good mate seeing as you asked about lst I think u have done well fir 1st time I think u said oh and watch out catz love to eat weed lol..
You defo do your research and know your stuff..
Come check my GC from fastbuds I have done the same im just a few week ahead.
Happy growing.. Good farming
Much love 💚.
@Green_claws, hi! Thank you so much for your advice and comment! I will see how the Gorilla Cookies will handle the LST im trying on her as a Noob. Soon shes big enough for me to try out these LST-Clips i got, which bend about 90 Degrees, curious about that! I will come check you stuff out for sure.
