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 👍🏼

SleepyChow Day22 Now let’s move on to Greta. What can I even say? She’s a damn homunculus😭😂😂 The curious thing is that this is the exact same pot that previously held my Skunk Haze - which also started out as a homunculus and then, luckily, went on to produce some seriously fat buds. Unfortunately, it later suffered from botrytis, but that’s another story😅 Naturally, this makes me curious and also a bit worried again that there might be HLVd lurking in this pot. What speaks against that theory is Greta’s strong green leaf color and the fact that the leaves aren’t oddly deformed. She’s really just a miniature version of a cannabis plant .small, but very far along in development. She’s clearly already in flower, has the nicest branching of the bunch, and is very easy to train. I’m really curious to see how this will continue to develop. If I’m lucky, it’s just down to genetics. Of course, I’d be much happier if I had a clearer sign pointing toward a virus — in that case, I’d replace the pot entirely. But for now… well, let’s see how it goes🤷🏼‍♂️ I also brewed a nice AACT (5l,24°C) with the following ingredients: -5tbsp wormcastings -1cup of overripe Watermellon Juice ( rich in enzymes and monosaccharides, microbe booster) -1tbsp Molasses -1-tsp Rosehippowder (organic acids,trace elements and immune booster) -1tbsp Beetroot Powder (potassium,trace elements,Polysaccharides and carbonhydrates, microbe booster) 1-pinch kelp meal (trace elements, phytohormones) Before applying the AACT, I turned off the Blumat supply for two days so the soil could dry out a bit. I also applied the AACT in two stages — once after 24 hours and then again after 32 hours. Unfortunately, the effect of the fans increasing the humidity only lasted for a short time. Over the past few days, I still had to rely on damp towels to keep the relative humidity at around 60%. That’s starting to change now though, as the girls are getting bigger and transpiring more — which is a very positive development. I really have to say that a cover crop would have been a total game changer. It would have helped the girls early on as well, since cover crops can positively influence soil pH and also help raise humidity level. See u FB Enthusiasts👍🏼

SleepyChow Let’s talk about Greta 😅 What can I even say, folks… she’s a freaking homunculus. A proper little dwarf. Tiny. BUT, she’s insanely fast in her development. Like, really. She already has clearly visible buds and a pretty defined structure to her side branches. I removed most of the LST ties because, compared to the other girls in the tent, she’s at risk of getting a bit light-starved if she stays this small. I only re-tied the main stem to encourage her to grow more outward instead of upward. Let’s see where that leads 🤷‍♂️ One thing I did notice: there’s not a whole lot of life going on in her soil,apart from fungal l. So I added a cup of worm castings with actual worms and arthropods, just to boost and enrich the soil life a bit. I also chopped down the cover crop in her pot about four days ago -and wow, that stuff is absolutely exploding right now. Honestly, the cover crop seems way more eager to grow than Greta herself 😂 But hey… let’s see what happens. She might still surprise us 😏 at least a little....hopefully😅
