JSmoove04 Running a completely organic, no-stress (no training) grow of FastBuds Gorilla Cookies Auto in a 5-gallon fabric pot. This run is meant to observe natural growth structure under TLO conditions — feed microbes → microbes feed the plant.
Using this grow to recalibrate after a summer without a harvest and reassess my soil biology, watering rhythm, and finishing consistency. Goal: clean, balanced fade and full expression of the cultivar without pushing synthetic inputs or heavy manipulation.

JSmoove04 Early Veg – Day 18 (Oct 7, 2025)
Plant has officially shifted from seedling to veg mode. Tight node spacing, good symmetry, and active root expansion visible through moisture uptake rate.
No added fertilizer this week — the base mix (Stonington + Humates + Gypsum) still carrying nutrients.
Plan: light Quoddy compost mulch (~¼ cup per gal) at Day 18–20 to introduce chitinase microbes and stabilize surface moisture. Then brew a veg microbial tea (1 cup EWC + ½ cup Quoddy + ½ tsp molasses / gal, aerated 18–24 h, Recharge ½ tsp after brew).
This stays 100% TLO — feed microbes → microbes feed the plant.
JSmoove04 Week 7 – Early Swell & Frost Onset
New pistils even on lowers and sugar leaves starting to glisten — the first wave of frost is here. Applied mid-bloom topdress (Craft Blend + Fish Bone Meal + Kelp) and watered in with a light compost tea + Recharge to kick microbes into gear for the swell phase.
Temp 77 °F / RH 52 % / PPFD 680 / DLI ≈ 45. Buds stacking evenly; next update will show full density coming on.

@Fast_Buds, Appreciate the love! 🙏 I’m running this Gorilla Cookies auto fully organic — living soil, microbe-driven, no bottled nutrients — to show what your genetics can do in a natural setup. The structure and resin development so far are crazy impressive. I’ll keep documenting each stage closely. Would love to explore ways to collaborate or represent the Fast Buds quality through future organic runs and media projects. 🌱🔥
