Miketama I couldn't wait to grow this strain since I tasted it from the pharmaceutical company Avaay. I hope to find the orange smell and the relaxing effect in this auto version.

Miketama Looking good, time to tuck those fan leaves under the branches!😇.....
Well, never mind... This strain has such powerful stems, branches, and leaves that it makes leaf tucking difficult. I have to use low stress training on the lower branches to open up the canopy.
The name of the strain derives from the gorilla-like potency of its effect, but I must say that it is also a very apt name for the structure of the plant. 💚

Miketama Another week ahead. I’m still tucking away the lower leaves that cause shading. I’ve noticed that a few leaf tips have just started to yellow/burn slightly, so I’ve decided to pause fertilization. I’m not worried at all, if anything, it’s a sign that the plant is absorbing a lot of nutrients.. 🤞
I also spray the leaves with an Alg-a-Mic solution; to do this, I lower the light intensity to the minimum and reduce the RH using a dehumidifier. Once the leaves are dry I bring everything back to 32 DLI.
If you haven’t signed up on the RQS website yet, feel free to use my link to get €5 off. In photo number 4 there’s also a discount code for three free seeds. I won’t be using it and it expires in a week, so feel free to use it. 💚💚

Miketama The Gorilla seems to have recovered from the excess nitrogen.
I kept a close eye on pH and EC and only supplied phosphorus and potassium as nutrients. She appears to have appreciated it 💚

Miketama Despite some early nutrient burn, the girl is rebounding hard. New foliage is lush and green again. She’s so pumped that she’s showing a rare leaf-bud mutation, throwing calyxes right at the petiole base! Can't wait to see how these swell up in the coming weeks.
Also noticed a slight apical mutation on one of the lower branches, the top appears to be splitting into two (double apex). Early on I removed the opposite-side branch, so that might have triggered this response. She’s definitely keeping things interesting this run!
Stay high! 💚

Miketama Leaves aren’t looking the prettiest, but the only real difference compared to the other plants was adding half a BioTabs tablet.
Apparently even that was a bit too much, even though it’s still under the official feeding chart (2 tabs per 10L).
Also no Startrex was used, so soil life probably wasn’t as active.
Despite that, the buds are swelling nicely and I’m pretty sure they’ll end up looking much better than the leaves. 😄

Today High Times published an article about the **“No-Veg” method**, written by Jorge Cervantes together with researchers from Innexo.
The idea is simple: skip the vegetative phase and flip plants straight to 12/12 right after rooting. The stretch during early flower builds the structure, so plants stay smaller but you can run more cycles per year.
According to their trials it could mean up to 6 harvests per year, less electricity and less labor.
Do you think this could make photoperiod runs almost as fast as autos… or even replace them? 🤔

Happy Harvest Day!
10/10
Rated
RoyalGorilla turned out to be highly productive with a surprisingly compact structure. The aroma went far beyond what I expected: not just citrus, but also a strong diesel note combined with sweet, candy-like undertones. I’m sure the flavor will be even richer and more complex.
Now I understand why the photoperiod version has won awards—this autoflower is no less impressive. Easily one of the most resinous and sticky plants I’ve ever had the pleasure of growing.
Thanks to RQS, and thanks to everyone who stopped by!
Smoke report:
Smell & Flavor
This is where she genuinely shines. The jar opens and you get an immediate wave of citrus, dark chocolate and raw diesel complex, rich, nothing one-dimensional about it. The flavor carries through on the exhale with that same citrus-chocolate backbone and a fuel finish that lingers. Easily one of the most interesting aromatic profiles I’ve grown in a while.
Effect
Potent and fast. This is not a strain you casually underestimate it takes you from zero to a hundred in one toke. Cerebral hit up front, then a deep physical weight settles in. Evening smoke for sure.
The One Downside
The throat hit is rough.. Worth being upfront about, but this is largely a genetic trait of the Glue lineage. The spicy, musky terpene profile driven by caryophyllene and myrcene naturally produces a heavier, more aggressive smoke compared to smoother profiles.
Overall
Exceptional genetics. The resin production, the smell and the flavor are all top tier. Just know going in that this strain hits hard in every sense.. including in the throat. Would grow again without hesitation.

Miketama This week I went for a staggered harvest to protect the buds that were starting to get damaged. The cycle ended on day 76, with trichomes at the perfect amber point and a yield of over 300g wet, despite a few mistakes along the way.
