RQS Royal Gorilla Auto

SignalAndSoil All is growing well topped her first time yesterday. Nice dark green leaves will be turning on the autopot soon

SignalAndSoil Quite amazing she is smelling strong already!

SignalAndSoil Going strong responded to the training well and going strong into flower

SignalAndSoil Did some manicuring to the plant she is doing incredibly well the fastest growing plant I have ever had, might have a bit too much nitrogen. Leaf tips are burnt

SignalAndSoil Had potassium burn from the compost tea I made so I flushed the system the auto parts system and just put freshwater in there. This seemed to clear up the issue, but growth seems standard for some reason. I am not sure if topping it too early has caused this. We are back on regular nutrition schedule now everything is Biobizz nutrients.

SignalAndSoil She has pull right after the over nutes, I can tell by the new leaves that are just dark green, she is thick of flower and really smelling

SignalAndSoil We’ve reached the end of our Grow with the Gorill Glue Auto. Overall, I made two mistakes. The first was stress training it at the beginning of flowering, which didn’t allow enough time for proper recovery. The second mistake was overfeeding it with a flowering tea, which caused the leaves to turn a dark black/brown instead of the healthy dark green they should have been. That said, I’m very happy with this grow. I think it’s a solid first attempt at an auto, especially since I’m more experienced with photoperiod plants. Autos are definitely a different challenge—they’re much bushier and have a more intense growth spurt during vegetation. One key takeaway is to keep your grow environment in check, as the dense bushiness of this plant can make it more prone to mould. She’s currently curing, and I’ll share pictures along with the final dried weight soon.
