Strawberry Gorilla Auto - FastBuds

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 10 - watered with 100ml of RO tap water, pHd to 6.3. She has started to grow her third set of leaves, so from today she is in the Veg stage💪🏻. Shes growing well in her small 1L pot, with a nice stretch and looking really healthy. This one is really more of an experiment, to see what yield I can achieve with a 1 litre pot.

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 17 - watered with 200ml of RO tap water, pHd to 6.3. she's growing well, but we're at the point now, where the pot size dictates the growth of the plant - so I'm going to let her grow and do her thing, hopefully she surprises me🙏🏻

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 21 - watered with 300ml of RO tap water, pHd to 6.3. I've removed a couple of her fan leaves, as they were damaged with magnesium deficiency and they were blocking light to lower nodes. So far she is growing well, but the pot size is clearly holding her back...

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 28 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pHd to 6.3. She is showing all the signs that she's about a week into flower! She's still small, so I'm not expecting a massive yield from her, but I'm excited to see what this pot size can produce! I've removed a couple of her fan leaves, but other than that, plain sailing from this beautiful girl ⛵

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 37 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pHd to 6.3. I've removed a few of her larger fans leaves to increase light penetration. Her bud sites are developing really well, although not stretching as much as I'd hoped, so she has remained quite compact, but there is still enough light reaching her lower bud sites, so I'm not too worried! She is taking on a nice red/purple colouring which really makes her green pop! She's a beauty👏🏻

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 44 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. She has developed her flower and has now switched to bulking! Not much work done this week, just removed a couple of fans leaves. Because she's in such a small pot, she requires a lot of watering, but in small amounts, so even though she's easy work, shes a lot of work... But so beautiful all the same!

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 50 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order starting with BioGrow and finishing with CalMag; pHd to 6.3 before CalMag and then allowing the CalMag to naturally bring the water to 6.5 👍🏻 She's well and truly in bloom now, developing and bulking her bud 💪🏻

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 57 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. Considering her pot size, I'm seriously impressed with the size of bud growing on this plant!! She's so beautiful too, a full spectrum of colour, from her flower to her leaves👏🏻 She's also started to smell really good, because she's the only flowering plant in the tent right now, you just get a wonderful bang off it when the tent opens 👌🏻. Not much work on her again this week, just her second daily watering with 500ml 👍🏻

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 64 - watered with 800ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. She was quite thirsty this week, so I upped her water to 800ml - her flower has pretty much finished bulking and is now maturing 🙏🏻 another week or two and she'll be ready for harvest I think. She hasn't required much work at all, just slow watering 🙌🏻. She smells really good, her flower is very dense, heavy and multicolored, and her leaves have taken on a yellowish colour on the tops, but underneath, they are dark purple, very very beautiful 👏🏻

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 71 - watered with 1L of RO tap water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. This will be the last feeding with full nutrients as I now start to prepare her for harvest! Her next feed will include half of the defined nutrient units and then she will have her first flush! 👍🏻 She has taken on a beautiful purple hue on her flower now along with the deep purple on her leaves, this combined with the white and amber of the pistils, and the lime green on the bud sites, really makes her pop and shimmer, shes very beautiful!😍 Her armoa is really starting to come out now too, she smells just like strawberries and candy! Her trichomes are mostly milky with some starting to turn amber, so I'd say another few days and she'll be ready for harvest! I know she wont have a huge yield, but the point of this micro grow, was to find out more about the strain and how what a micro grow could achieve, so no matter the yield, I am super happy with the results so far - to the point where I am planning to have two micro grows in my next grow (TB SkillteZ by Bulldog Seeds & Pineapple Express F1 by Zamnesia)🙌

PapaTerps Strawberry Gorilla Automatic - FastBuds Day 78 - Harvest day 🎉 This was my first Micro Grow, and I'm super impressed with the results! 34 wet grams after 78 days seed to harvest, grown in a 300ml pot previous used for an orchid and watered with mostly leftover amounts of nutrients from other plants in my grow room. I expect her to dry down to about 10-12 grams, considering it was a free promo seed and everything else was recycled, it's basically 12 free grams and who doesn't like free bud!?
