Gorilla Z auto Fast Buds Freebie

SleepyChow 05.01.2026 Day 1 Little Greta aka Gorilla Z saw the light of day today… well, the light of a 200-watt led lamp👶🏼😁 Seems like my light-from-day-one strategy with the jiffys worked out pretty well. Her future home/big pot was already prepared four days ago. As mentioned, the pot is mulched with old leaf and stem material from the last run, given a gentle compost tea, and finished off with five tbsp of worm castings. She will move in within this week. AACT recipe (5l): -5 tbsp worm castings -1tsp malted barley -1tsp molasses See u mates👌🏼 06.01.2026 Day 2 Hi Folks, Today I decided it was finally time to pot up and transplant the girls. I inspected the pots beforehand. Fungal life is definitely present, and arthropods are still around as well. However, there was some fungal mycelium I wasn’t entirely sure about in terms of its physiological state. Any mycelium that showed blue discoloration was removed immediately, along with the material displaying those color changes. I watered the pots once more beforehand and installed the Blumat system. At the bottom of the Jiffies and directly into the planting holes, I sprinkled mycorrhizal and Trichoderma spores, using the Hubey Micorrhiza Spreader😬 I reduced the light intensity down to 40% ( 50% is recommended by Spider Garmer for its lamp in this phase) because the first leaves started to develop white tips.

SleepyChow Hi folks 👋🏼 The Gorilla Z is 6 days old today and she’s doing pretty well. She’s developing almost normally, looks vital and strong, and handled the transplant into the big pot without any big issues💪🏼her stem purpled a bit but nothing special.no big deal. Two days after planting, I watered her with 333 ml of water in a radius of about 12 cm around the stem. The water was mixed with Root·Juice (stock solution: 1 liter of dechlorinated water with 4 ml Root·Juice) to give root development a little kickstart and help Rita settle into her new home. Root·Juice contains algae extracts and humic acids (plus small amounts of calcium, magnesium and iron), which are very beneficial for that purpose😬 Since I was a bit concerned that 4 ml (the upper limit according to the BioBizz schedule) might be a bit much for autos, I followed up three days later with another 333 ml of plain dechlorinated water. Greta continues to grow strong and physiologically healthy.She stretched a bit more than expected, so i increased the light intensity to 60%. Spider Farmer recommends around 75% at this stage, but I usually do better with a gentler increase in light strength. Today I applied another 333 ml of a solution containing roughly 1.5 million nematodes per liter of water and also distributed predatory mites on the soil surface. I had already spotted a few predatory mites in my pots over the last days, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to reinforce them. These mites basically establish themselves in the soil and can live there for generations as long as there’s enough food available. Truly awesome beneficial insects🙏🏼 I have to admit, my fingers are itching already - I’m really looking forward to the moment when I can start bending and shaping Greta a bit See u 👍🏼

SleepyChow Day 14 Hi Folks and welcome to our Bondage andventure😁 Greta is doing fine,nice dark green color,normally developed stem👌🏼The leaves may be a little small🤔maybe the soil is to wet for her,so i set the Blumat lower.It could also be the genetics. i dont think its zinc deficit.And the Soil is pretty airy,i could easily insert my fingers. 😎 so it also isnt a too solid soil which cause the little leaves.Nevertheless i trained her stem a little.On Day 11 i bent her to the right side, towards the edge of her pot.Next day i let her strech out and since Yesterday,day 13,shes bent to the left side, towards the middle of the pot. And she takes it all in stride, showing no signs of stress💪🏼i decided for now to just Lst her.Im not very confident with only this training method,i like topping and mainlining way more.But she didnt stretched as much as in her first week,so i think and hope, LST could be enough.maybe i top her in a few days,maybe not.im still undecided🤷🏼‍♂️ im a little traumatised by a Blueberry auto by FB which got frecking huge😱 the growth and the effects were very sativa like.not what i expected. There are some ways to control the height of ur Autoflower and break the apical dominance to help the side branches to develope: - LST +Scrog -early Topping (yea,also autoflowers) -early Mainlining (Bernie from Fast Buds does this regularly. Basementganja does this also sometimes.The great Mr.Canuck himself says this is possible',but hes more a fan of Lst,he assures that this cause more yield) -clever defoliation of the top branch ( basementganja method) -clever use of light intensity and distance to the lamp The past days i got some problems to held the rH on 60%,most time it was below.i used a wet towel to raise the rH,it helped but not as much as needed. I poured 667ml Water with 1/3 tbsp EMs on the mulch to boost its decomposting process a litte,it also raised short term the rH. I also sowed new cover crop seeds (little helper seeds by almicanna). They benefit the microbiom of the soil through their exudates and protect the athropods,bacteria etc from light and drought. They also raise the rF,as soon as they are developed. But the gamechanger in this drama was,like in my last grow, the fan😅😂 I turned the fan on earlier than planned, but this led to a rapid increase in humidity from 53% to 68%🎉 I also raised light intensity up to 75% on Day 11. she takes everything like a champ😬 See u next week growmies 👍🏼
