DoenerToGo Hello guys, and welcome to another Growdiaries of mine. This time it is the Fastbuds Gorilla Cookies Auto, i heard about it a bit ago, but then i saw the big one highagain once grew, and got pretty hooked. I got it for free from a friend who had it as a free seed with his Order. I germinate using a glass of water and i regularly, every hour past the 6th or so, push the seed in the water until it sinks and i then plant it direcly into the soil. I want to make sure the seed is well hydrated while giving it a start directly in the final pot. This time i am using a 100x100cm Growtent with very nice quality. Its the Betterbox from Growber. I use the Tripart Series from Terra Aquatica once my Floragard Professional Growmix runs out of nutrients. And i plan to stricly defoliate the main stem as a measure to get the other branches to a similar height as the main one and let the plant relatively naturally develop a favorabile structure. Its sorta light fimming over time. I hope for a sick grow and sticky buds. Cya.

DoenerToGo Hello and welcome back to another diary entry. Today is the first day of the Gorilla Cookies. After around 70ish hours the she poked her head out of the medium and everything looks fine so far. I have put a humidifier in my tent to raise it so she has it a bit easier in the first few weeks. This time around I tried something different. Instead of only watering around the seedling, I saturated all of the soil with water so she has a constant humidity in the soil for the first week(s) for a healthy root development. That's it for this week, cya the next time around

DoenerToGo Hello and welcome back to the first week of growth of the Gorilla Cookies Auto So far the growth has been a bit faster than my previous run, and she is looking good. I think her first set of true leaves is shaped a bit funny, like she tried to form leaves with 3 fingers, maybe they will develop to be some, we'll see. I also planted some cover crop so we get the benefits, but I do it because a bit more green looks nice and I had the cover crop laying around so, why don't try it out. That's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed. Cya.

DoenerToGo Hello and Welcome to another week of lovely growth from my Gorilla Cookies from Fastbuds. Today it is her 15th Day and she is growing very healthy and she grows fast which makes her good for Training. As I described in the beginning of the growdiary, light defoliation to the main stem so the side branches can catch up and form an even canopy. The clovers and grass I planted are already doing pretty good. The grass grows like 2cm every 24 hours, so you have to trim it quite often, but I like the look of it. The soil is good for 4 weeks so I don't need to fertilize quite yet. That's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed. Cya next time

DoenerToGo Hello and welcome to another week of growth from my Gorilla Cookies Auto. She is developing nicely and the new growth already has secondary nodes ready so she probably will get very bushy an have a nice even Canopy. I ripped of one the shoots on the 3rd node off, while tucking leaves. A bit unfortunate, but nothing a bit of time wouldn't solve. Yesterday (Day 21) i noticed the leaves are getting a bit light around the tips, so i checked the EC of the medium. The EC-Meter showed 2.3, so i flushed her with around 14L of water to around 1.0EC and the PH of 6. I will install a infrared heater in the tent, so i can more effectively heat the growtent to a nice temperature, and passively save a few bucks on heating because it will replace the radiator in the room of the Tent. I saw a few grow reports and saw that the gorilla cookies has around 4 (+-1) weeks of vegative grow before flipping into flower and beginning streching. So there is a good chance she will start to strech in the following week. Thats it for this week i hope you enjoyed the week. Cya next time.

DoenerToGo Hello and Welcome to another Week of growth from my Gorilla Cookies from Fastbuds. This week I installed the Infrared Heater, the green pipe, it works by being heating up to around 90°C and heating the areas and objects around the heater rather than heating the air. It kinda simulates the way heat travels from the sun onto the leaves, and you feel it on your skin the moment you get in the way of the heater. I am currently experimenting whether a dark surface near the heater can Increase the temperature in the tent, because dark surfaces absorb infrared quicker and get hotter. Imagine walking on a sunny day with a dark and a white T-shirt. I tried to give her Nutrients but the medium was still a bit full, I tried watering 0.7 EC and 2.1 EC came out of it. I flushed with 3L of PH adjusted Water to get her down to 1.4 and 6.2 in PH I also switched over to the new Lamp since this got more Red in the Spectrum which makes her more fit for Flower, because she started to stretch this week, her branches are getting way harder to bend, and all new growth seems to be stretchy since around day 27, which is also around the time she should start to Flower. Over the Stretch period I will defoliate a leaf here and there so that lower branches get proper lighting and bend to adjust to an even Canopy. I bent the main branch down and over time pressure began to built in the stem and she kinda Supercropped herself but thats a good thing, since it forms the canopy to more even. That's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned and cya next week.
