ChrisNbran This girl is amazing and growing like crazy she came out the ground oct 1st and look at her now I have a feeling she’s gonna fill the tent up for now my plan is to just let her grow maybe some light light LST to even out the light on all her branches but no topping or anything she’s gonna be a beast strawberry gorilla from fast buds is gonna definitely live up to her name any advice is welcome I made a couple rookie mistakes with my crystal meth autos that I’m not going to make again but hey you gotta live and learn experience and mistakes is the best way to get better

ChrisNbran It’s a little early to do week three cause it’s half way threw week two for real but I done my other ones today so I figured I’d go ahead and do the gorrilla too and that’s exactly what she is a gorilla this auto is fast and gonna be huge I haven’t done any training or topping or nothing just gonna let her ride for now and see how everything goes any advice and pointers are welcome if you think I should top her or train her give me some tips and tell me why and how I have started giving this one the first part of the fox farm trio as far as nutrients go I made some tea out of bone meal worm castings and the fox farm big bloom liquid plant food which is bat guano and worm castings too. Almost forgot I added some fish poop too hahahabit I’m not gonna use that anymore cause it makes my tent smell awful but besides that she has been loving it and no nutrient burns no leaf curling just growing like crazy so I’ll keep you updated I’m curious to see how big she’s gonna get wish me luck and let me know if you have any tips or advice peace

ChrisNbran This plants gonna be a monster it’s about halfway threw week three I did my other plants so ima go ahead and do this one I’ve done no training just letting her go haven’t decided what I’ll do yet I’ve been using fox farms on this one just to see if there’s a difference and man idk if it’s just the strain or if it’s the different nutes but my other plants was nowhere near this size the stalk is as big as a sharpie marker already and branches everywhere I have been doing some leaf tucking but that’s about it always welcome to advice and what the best training techniques for this strain is I’ll keep you updated

ChrisNbran This girl is getting big and bushy can’t wait for her to start stretching out so I can get in there and get some of these big leafs off that are blocking everything I’m excited to see how she does I’ve got everything even and tied down enough so the canopy gets even light I’m using the fox farm trio on this one just so I can see what the difference between them and the general hydroponics nutrients trio any advice is always welcome happy growing

ChrisNbran She really stretching out and getting tall fixing to be in full flower mode I got the canopy even so there should end up being several main colas I’m still learning tho I did good on this one tho as far as that goes upgraded and added another light spider farmer 2000 and the 1000 in there so we’ll see how much that improves my grow happy growing until next time peace update stretching like crazy I gave her a lil haircut for the last time to get some light down there cause she just keeps getting bushier like a damn jungle if you shop a fast buds which I def recommend use the discount code #kygrow and get a 15% discount on the store and it’ll help me out to happy growing peace

Coming along nicely! I'm sure that the lighting upgrade will help make for a happy plant through flowering. 😊 Best Wishes!

@Anna-J, thanks a lot if I can get anywhere close to what you pulled off with your gorillas I’ll be super happy how do you get them to change and turn colors like yours did I know it’s mostly the strain but is there something extra I can do to really get them to change

@ChrisNbran, I noticed that one of my plants was very eager to show off it's colours, another wasn't far behind and then the third plant seemed like it might not show anything other than green right up to the end. Like you mentioned, genetics will always be the driving force but i tend to associate cooler night temperatures with getting more colour out of my plants. The plant that didn't seem to want to change ended up exploding in colour after i accidentally forgot to switch my air intake from outside air to inside air during 'lights off', which caused the temperature to drop to about 54F for 4 hours. I don't think i'd recommend those kinds of temperatures consistently but later in flowering and again, depending on the genetics, cooler night temperatures might help give that little push to the encourage the plants to change colour or to become more vibrant in their colours. I typically end up with 'lights off' temperatures of around 64-68F later in flowering. A note of caution though, i've had other plants that really did not respond well to very cool night temperatures, where it caused either stunting or noticeable damage to the plants. I would try to make sure that if you're bringing cold air into your tent, that it's not directed right at the plants or at the root zone. Good luck!

@Anna-J, I really appreciate that info I’m about a week and a half into flower it’s still stretching and getting taller it seems like almost every time I look in the tent which is every time I walk by it lol I am definitely going to figure out how to get my temp to drop more when the lights go off I’ll prolly just open the tent up for them few hours since it stays about 60f in my house it stays about 70 to 75 in my tent so that should do the temperature drop and hopefully get the colors to come out of it I have a crystal meth auto going also and it’s really purple already they are for sure pretty ass plants when they have all the different colors thanks again if mine gets half the colors yours had I’ll be happy

@Fast_Buds, no problem and thanks a lot I lost one of my mix pack seeds idk if it was me or just a bad seed it didn’t germinate right well it did crack but died right after out of 4 seeds that’s the only one that didn’t make it so I think it was just a bad one out the bunch super happy with the others tho
