38PLAN I won't document the germination, I forgot about it, and I won't post many photos either. At the end of the cycle, I'll show you how to get 6 autoflowering plants with at least 200g each.
I have 2 600w HPS lights and 6 pots/bags of 40 liters.
20/4 light schedule plus natural light coming in from the window. I made the soil myself because I got fed up with the one that had gnats.
30% soil / 30% coconut fiber / 20% volcanic pumice / 10% worm humus / 10% perlite and blonde peat.

38PLAN The biggest plants are in week 3, the smaller ones are in weeks 1 and 2. The biggest ones have shown sex but are not flowering yet; soon we will administer natural auxins to give them a bit of fgas.

38PLAN We have reached week 4 and the plants are starting to develop pre-flowers, they really have a lot of vigor and tend to grow taller for the most part with a classic Christmas tree shape.

38PLAN I'm posting today at 8 days because last week I posted at 6 days, so I'm back on track. We're now in the 6th week of life for the biggest ones, almost 4 1/2 for the smaller ones. They've grown super tall, one stretched a bit due to a manganese deficiency, which I resolved with the SANA COMPO green solution. But they're looking promising, they're very big and the buds are already overflowing with resin. Let's continue this journey and we'll see how the size of the flowers develops over time.

38PLAN We have reached week 8, the plants show incredible strength, they are the biggest I've ever grown. Something incredible happened, in one pot there were two plants that seem to have fused together, becoming like a Gogeta of marijuana, this seems to have given them incredible strength, managing to reach 2m in height without fully entering flowering, they will grow even more. For being indoor, they have reached record sizes, it's a plant that needs A LOT of space.

38PLAN We are in the 8th week, the plants have developed well-formed flowers, now we need to be patient and wait for them to grow even bigger, most of the pistils are still white and the plants are still green, this generally means that the plant can still produce, incredible the plant in the bottom left has almost touched the ceiling, an autoflowering of exceptional size, still at the beginning of the flowering stage.

38PLAN We’ve reached week 10, one plant has started the flush, the one in the center right. The buds on the more advanced plants are super fat and rich in resin, this plant is truly EXCEPTIONAL, we’ll give it a few more weeks of water and then we’ll harvest the first one! Let’s remember they are all autoflowering. GORILLA COOKIES AUTO

38PLAN Half of the 7 plants has been cut, it was their time, now almost all of them will start the flush, while the giant plant is still very behind and will remain on nutrients for at least another 2 weeks. The plants have a very strong smell, and the flower formation is compact despite the very long internodes. If you want to chat, follow me and come visit!
38PLAN We cut 3 plants in half, I'll do the staggered harvest, I'll leave them for a bit longer trying to avoid the popcorn buds, the smell is super strong and the quantity is incredible, so far the best plant I've ever grown, and there's still a lot left to cut....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

38PLAN We're still harvesting, no plants have died yet, I'm slowly removing the more mature buds, this way we avoid popcorn buds and give the plant time to fill out the lower buds as well. So far, with what we've harvested and sold, we're at about 780g, but we're also waiting for the new drying rack. By the end of the harvest, we should reach almost 2 kilos with 7 plants and 6 pots, averaging 333g per plant. I've posted everything I could, every step of the process, I hope you like it and follow me!
38PLAN The end of the journey. We are in Italy, and in Italy, cannabis is illegal. In my neighborhood, there was a violent raid that took many people away; I decided to cut because the police situation here has become heavy. I'm safe but no longer have time to continue. I would have liked to show you more, to bring the plants to their maximum, but this was their time. Never underestimate good autoflowering strains; if done right, they can compete with their feminized sisters. They are fast, quick, and powerful—everything needed for those who lack time and space. As demonstrated, if done with knowledge, they can yield extraordinary results. It was the best harvest of my life. The total cost of the harvest was around €1600 for soil, bills, and fertilizers, while the value of the raw material produced is around €10,000-15,000.
Finally !!!! A diary that I find where the grower can grow as good as me :) nice to see someone other than myself who can grow autos to their full potential :) nice work
