IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: Solo Cup Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 1 – Germination & Seedling Stage The seed germinated in water within 24 hours. It was then transferred to a paper towel, misted, and placed in a lightly misted zip-lock bag kept in a dark, cool area. After another 24 hours, the taproot developed further and the seed was placed into soil in a solo cup. Currently feeding a diluted Athena mix at 50–100 ml. Plant is settling in well. I’m really excited to try Fast Buds’ photoperiod line and see how Gorilla Melon performs looking forward to documenting its growth every step of the way!

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 1 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 1 – Transplant & Root Development This week, I transplanted her from the solo cup into a 1-gallon pot. Applied Mykos WP thoroughly on her roots and in the transplant hole, then fed her with Athena nutrients. She’s growing, but slowly. Looking forward to strong root development in the coming weeks before moving her to either a 3- or 5-gallon pot.

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 3 Update This week she was transplanted from a 1-gallon to a 5-gallon pot, and of course the pot got stickered up 😝. The roots looked amazing during transplant, with Mykos really doing its job. She was topped twice and training has begun, aiming to build a manifold with 8 mains. Growth has been strong, and she’s taking in nutrients with no issues. Feeding was increased to about 1200 ml of Athena, and I’ll keep raising it gradually as needed. Overall, I’m really happy with how she’s developing so far. Indoor Climate Conditions Temperature: 18–23°C Humidity: 60–65% VPD: ~0.5–0.8 kPa See y’all next week!

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 4 Update She showed some vigorous growth this week, which allowed me to tie down a few branches to start forming her into the structure I’m aiming for. If growth continues well over the next week, I may flip her to 12/12 soon we’ll see how it goes. She’s been handling her feedings perfectly, with no signs of deficiencies, and her overall structure is coming along nicely. Feeding 1.7 L Athena nutrient mix (will increase gradually if needed).

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 5 Update This week she showed healthy and vigorous growth, and I’m really pleased with how she’s coming along. I believe I’ve achieved the structure I was aiming for everything looks balanced and open. From here on out, I’ll just be maintaining her form, doing light defoliation where needed, and getting her ready for the upcoming 12/12 flip. She’s thriving and looks ready to take the next step soon. Feeding 1.7 L Athena nutrient mix (will increase gradually if needed).

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 5 Update She’s looking great with a really nice 8-main manifold structure exactly what I was aiming for. Growth this week has been solid, no signs of stress or deficiencies. She’s filling out nicely, and I’m really excited to see her start flowering. I’ll be doing a light defoliation before flipping her to 12/12 this week to open up those bud sites a bit more. Feeding 1.7 L Athena nutrient mix (will increase gradually if needed).

IslandTerps Strain: Fast Buds – Gorilla Melon Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Peat Moss & Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena (Bloom) Week 7 Update She is such a beautiful plant I really outdid myself with this 8-manifold. Her structure is everything I was hoping for! She shot up nicely during this first week of flowering and looks strong all around. No deficiencies or signs of stress she’s taking her nutrients perfectly. I’ll be clipping any big fan leaves that block bud sites we’re looooooking for full coverage 😎. Feeding 1.9 L Athena Bloom nutrient mix (steady from this point). Indoor Climate Conditions Temperature: 18–26°C Humidity: 45–55% VPD: ~1.3–1.8 kPa See y’all next week!
