RealGrowDiary Day 1–7 The first week was smooth and steady for the Gorilla Cookies Auto. After about 48 hours, the first signs of life appeared with the seedling pushing through the soil. The initial growth was pretty slow, but typical for autoflowers at this stage.

RealGrowDiary Week 3 - Gorilla Cookies Auto The plant is coming along nicely this week. It’s starting to develop strong side branches and showing a healthy, bushy structure. Most of the leaves look vibrant, though there’s a slight yellowing on the tips of a couple leaves – possibly an early sign of nutrient deficiency or minor pH imbalance. Will keep an eye on it and adjust if needed. The main stem is thickening up, and LST (low stress training) is starting to take effect – side branches are getting good light exposure.

RealGrowDiary Day 21 – Veg Phase The plant is developing nicely with broad, healthy leaves and strong growth. The new growth at the top is vibrant green, and the structure is compact and sturdy. The Ugro Rhiza coco is holding moisture well, and I’m letting the top inch dry out before watering again. There's a slight yellowing on one of the lower leaf tips—possibly an early sign of nutrient imbalance or light stress, but nothing too concerning at this stage. Overall, the plant looks vigorous and happy. Environment is stable, with good airflow and humidity around 50–6%. Next step: monitor leaf color and growth rate, and prepare for light training soon.

RealGrowDiary Day 28 - Early Flowering / Stretch Phase (Auto) The lady is stretching like she's doing morning yoga ↑↑ LST is working nicely — she's spreading out like a starfish ✿ and getting great light coverage. Bud sites are popping up everywhere ⚡️ and she's looking happy overall. Noticed some eagle claws 🦅 on the upper leaves, likely due to a nitrogen buildup. Gave her a good flush to reset things and she's already perking up. Also upgraded the light on Day 21 — went from 150W to a powerful 300W setup 🔆. She's loving the extra photons and really picking up the pace in the stretch phase. Sticky trap shows minor pest activity

RealGrowDiary Day 35 The plant is stretching nicely and starting to form multiple bud sites across the top canopy 🌿. Lower growth has been pruned to focus energy on the main colas ✂️. She’s about midway through the flowering stretch and showing healthy green foliage with no signs of deficiency or stress ✅. Bud formation is well underway, with visible pistils on most nodes ❄️.

RealGrowDiary This girl is taller and more open in structure compared to her tent mate. With a strong central cola and evenly spaced side branches, she's showing classic hybrid vigor 🌿. Her internodal spacing is wider, allowing light to reach deeper into the canopy — great for bud development throughout. She’s embraced the vertical stretch in early flower and now stands with a graceful, upright posture 🌱. Bud sites are forming steadily along each arm, crowned with white pistils and early trichome sparkle ✨. Leaf color is a lighter green, suggesting a slightly faster metabolism or minor nitrogen drawdown — expected at this stage. She's clearly benefiting from the full light exposure and seems set to produce multiple decent-sized colas if she continues at this pace ⚡.

RealGrowDiary Day 49 – Late Flowering Phase 🌸🌿 The buds are really starting to bulk up now and are covered in a nice layer of trichomes ✨. Most pistils are still white, but some are beginning to turn orange 🧡, indicating that harvest time is getting closer. The smell is getting stronger each day — a mix of sweet and earthy notes fills the grow space 👃🍯🌱. Fan leaves are still green and healthy 🍃. I’ve done only light defoliation to improve airflow and lower humidity inside the canopy 💨. Humidity is around 60%, and the fan is running 24/7 to keep the environment stable ⚙️🌬️. Everything is going smoothly so far! Watching the trichomes closely now — the finish line is in sight ️🔍⏳.

RealGrowDiary Day 56 The girls are clearly heading into the final stretch. Pistils are turning a warm amber-orange and the buds are stacking up nicely, dense and covered in a frosty layer of trichomes. Some of the larger fan leaves are beginning to fade and yellow out naturally, showing signs of nitrogen drawdown as they approach harvest. The aroma is getting stronger and more defined—sweet, earthy, and slightly pungent, filling the space even with minimal airflow. A quick look through the loupe shows around 10% amber trichomes, with most cloudy and just a few still clear. They’re definitely getting close. Despite today’s power outage, there are no visible signs of stress or bud rot so far. They're holding up strong, and the end is in sight Im started giving her only water this week now 3 weeks for now only ph correct water

RealGrowDiary This week marks the 10th and likely final week of my autoflower grow. The buds have really filled out and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. Most pistils have turned orange/brown, and the plant is giving off a strong, pungent aroma. Under close inspection, the trichomes are mostly cloudy with some beginning to turn amber – a clear sign she’s nearly ready for harvest. The fan leaves have started fading and curling slightly, especially lower down, which is to be expected at this stage. I stopped feeding nutrients around a week ago and have been flushing with just water to clean out any remaining salts. She’s still drinking well and hasn’t shown any major stress signs. Overall, I’m really happy with how this run turned out. She stayed compact, didn’t stretch too much, and produced some dense, frosty buds. I’ll probably gave her 2–3 more days before the chop – just to let a few more amber trichomes develop for that nice relaxing effect So i cutet her 2 days later because of the to high humidity , because i dont want bud

My plant is currently having those same droopy leaf tips that yours is displaying from nitrogen toxicity so just a heads up about that, not sure if its the cause 100% but it is what I heard from multiple people more knowledgeable than me!

@RealGrowDiary, I flushed mine as well, and the leaves are still doing that... I'm going to give it some time, maybe it will bounce back
