FrostBangers & Gorilla’s Cookies

CadillacGreen_420 Explosive growth, excellent! 🤠

CadillacGreen_420 Everything goes smoothly, I started LST on a Frost Banger that decided to become taller, I love this green 💚

CadillacGreen_420 The progression proceeds quickly!

CadillacGreen_420 One of the two Frosty plants has expressed her genes differently from the other bushier one — damn, I hope I can manage it. I’ve intensified the LST.

CadillacGreen_420 The growth is continuing with a beautiful overall flowering! “FrostLonger” has pushed out white tufts and is showing an atypical floral structure — this one doesn’t make colas! The flowers are forming more like a spike. It reminds me a bit of DrGreenSpoon. We’ll see how it develops. I’m very satisfied and happy with the excellent branching I achieved through LST on the other FrostBanger and the two Gorilla Cookies. This result has given me a lot of satisfaction — there could be a high yield, we’ll see!😀

CadillacGreen_420 The “Frostlonger” (FL) was significantly affecting the light parameters for all the others. I tried to compensate by raising the saucers under the other pots to bring everything up to FL’s height. I also tried to tame FL with a SCROG net to level the canopy, but the light is already at the maximum possible distance. So there was a risk of light stress for her and insufficient light for the others, FL will be cut early — the others need to develop properly and without any stress compromises. Patience… she’s also a little sticky, so I’ll vaporize this one without mercy.

CadillacGreen_420 With more space now I can better help these flowering beauties. Purple flowers for FrostBanger and the gorillas are pushing .🦍💨

CadillacGreen_420 Excellent growth and excellent smell that is always stronger. I find the macro on the frost banger flower interesting, in addition to the black leaf color, the trichomes that I find particular because without a stem or with an invisible stem they are all white spheres. But interesting it hadn't happened to me yet.

CadillacGreen_420 The gorillas have thickened up muscularly and are starting to look like resin fountains. Despite the marketing, my FrostBanger isn’t actually that “frosty” — in this respect, Gorilla is in a whole different glue category. As mentioned before, and visible in a macro shot, Frosty’s trichomes are tiny — they look like white polka dots on a black background, like Randy Rhoads’ guitar.

CadillacGreen_420 Balsamic and fruity aromas flood the air every time I open the tent. Nectar flows bright across the flower surfaces like sticky sugar glaze. This time I will try to resist — I want those caramel-colored heads! 🍭🤤

CadillacGreen_420 This twelfth week has arrived and the development has been really very good. The Gorillas have swollen up, erupting with resin and becoming increasingly frosty. Gorilla has developed impressive thickness and a competition-level resin coating. What an aroma, what a treat. Frost Banger keeps getting darker and darker, and is well covered in little white dots. I’ve never seen such a black color before.FrostBanger has a mysterious scent — an animalistic, wild aroma with a hint of exotic fruit, though it doesn’t linger much. Gorilla, on the other hand, leaves an overwhelming smell that just doesn’t go away. I’ve harvested a few mini test samples.

CadillacGreen_420 Week 13 – Ripening is now progressing slowly, as I had expected, due to my choice to provide a light stimulus that isn’t too intense but rather gentler. From flowering until now I’ve maintained 30 DLI and a steady 470 PAR. In this run, the goal has been to keep the resin thick and sticky. Humidity has been kept between 57–62% max. My lamp is an Omega Pro 300W, which I’m currently running 37% (111 W). This strategy seems to be working well: resin production has been abundant, and on this point—and not only this one—I’ve completely fallen in love with Gorilla Cookies. The aroma is exquisite, and the resin… the flowers are covered in ointment-like resin. The macro shots of the trichomes still don’t show any amber heads, so I believe harvest is probably about 10–15 days away. 🍮🤤 I think I’ll grow only Gorilla in the next run! 🦍👀 P.SThe leaf discoloration happened very quickly! The previous photos are from yesterday when it was still green — today it looks like this. Really interesting

CadillacGreen_420 I noticed that Fast Buds has released a new version (F3). I’m currently running the F2, and honestly, my batch could have benefited from more stability — I observed quite a lot of phenotypic variation between seeds. One plant grew extremely tall, and unfortunately I had to cut it early because it became unmanageable in my space. It also had small, “spear-like” flowers. Another phenotype was much more compact, with dark purple/black hues and shorter trichomes. That said, vaporization tests confirm a high psychedelic effect: uplifting, cheerful, and with a light body feel. The aroma, however, is less attractive and inviting compared to the more bold and explosive notes of Gorilla strains. It’s savory — it leaves a trail that almost reminds me of broth. It’s more of a smell than a fragrance: when you bring it close to your nose, you pick up earthy notes with a very faint balsamic touch. There’s a total absence of pinene, and it feels more “musty” than fresh. When vaporized at 176°C with the Venty, the initial expression brings out limonene along with some Arabic-like spice notes. The effect is energizing, with a fizzy, joyful high. I really like it.

CadillacGreen_420 This strain honestly blew me away. From day one the plant showed crazy vigor, stacking up thick and pumping out resin like a beast. Ended up with super frosty, chunky buds — way thicker than any auto I’ve run before. Top-notch plants and great yields too: pulled a solid 75g overall! The 12L pot gave me 48g, and the 7L one still delivered nicely. Now I’ve got a tasty, potent stash and I’m definitely feeling more relaxed with the jars full! Through the Venty vape, it hits with a strong limonene punch mixed with that classic loud cookies smell. The high starts off uplifting and energizing, then creeps into a heavy body effect that’ll have you sinking into the couch with a juice in hand 😄 Ready for the next run! 🤠💚
