This grow is going to be completely Royal Queen Seeds: -Royal Gorilla Automatic seed -Easy Boost -Easy Grow -Easy Bloom Because RQS is always providing as advertised this just has to be a great success. Just finished a grow with the Gorilla and the result is very satisfying. Exactly that what you expect from next generation autos.

Very fast and reliable strain, just look at the progress in week one. Love the Gorilla Update: Given the current Veg state I imagined it was time to provide some Easy Grow, just one tab for 5 liters and add to the soil (which already contains the Easy Boost pallets)

Again a great week with some nice progress on this Gorilla. I want to keep this one more bushy as the previous Gorilla so instead of topping I applied the FIM technique just before the first signs of preflower became visible. I think that (apart from some lollipopping) this will be the last form of stress that she will receive and will let her roam more freely in the next coming weeks.

Okay.. FIM.. Literally! Last week I pretty much promised not to perform any stress but the temptation was to big. So huge defoliation and still the Gorilla is going apesh!t, amazing strain and a real joy to grow. After preflower is getting visible I started feeding the Easy Bloom and it seems that she is loving it.

Another week full of monkey business, this girl really is a handful as she stretched like crazy and needs to be defoliated every week. Unlike the previous Gorilla I didn't lollipop this one just to see the difference. The flowers are setting really nice and the heavenly smell from this strain is becoming quite present.

This is the time that she needs to pick up some weight 😊 let's hope I didn't stretch her out too much because I already see that the branches could be a bit 2 flexible #FINGERSCROSSED

It was a very hot week and this shows as the poor girl suffered quite a lot. Nevertheless this strain just keeps on going and the Gorilla is really one of the best choices for autoflowers on this moment. I started flushing this girl with plain ph water and taken in consideration that the only nutes used for this grow are the Easy Grow, Easy Bloom Booster and Easy Boost for the substrate this is already an amazing result. Very straightforward and super easy grow thanks to Royal Queen Seeds (especially James😉👍🏻)

The Gorilla is simply a winner! One of the best autos on the market and for sure one to keep on growing. Like mentioned in earlier weeks, even though the temperature was quite high in the last stage of flower she still produced some very nice and tasty buds. My salutations to Royal Queen Seeds for providing such an easy to grow strain with very good end results.

Looking good! This strain is so resilient, it amazes me. I've mangled her at times and she keeps growing.

I'm afraid to top my Gorillas, because they are my first Autoflower Grow. Will be very interesting for me, to see your result. Good grow and fat harvest ;-)

If you have a first auto run then please don't go all crazy with training. I am trying to slow down the grow as the previous Gorilla was so superfast so let's see if it will actually work out. ✌
