So this morning I finally got to taste my harvest. Enough had dried and cured to roll one up and give an honest review. Being a heavy smoker that has a high tolerance the first thing I noticed about the smoke is that it is so clean. The THC % is definitely there but there is no harsh taste that makes you choke. Makes me wonder what is going into the stuff I would purchase previously. I would say the effects of this strain leave my whole body relaxed yet I have a clear head. This would be the perfect strain to consume after a long stressful day and good for anxiety and stress.

Easy to use but a mess to try and shake up. Lids leak and I'm cleaning up nutrients every time I mix to feed.

Dearly beloved, we gather here to honor the life of Flo. She was a daughter and a sister and lived a good life amongst her siblings...
So it's the end of week Eleven and I've reached my first of many harvests to come. At the start of this grow I had some pretty lofty goals for weight but I'd trade quality for quantity any day. With that said the quality of this product is top notch and I tip my cap to Royal Queen Seeds for a solid gorilla auto strain. The buds are a little airy but the taste is far better than anything I've ever purchased. Only yielded an ounce but that mixed with the knowledge I have gained far exceeds my expectations.
Looking back I think I have in idea of where I went wrong. In between feedings I was still implementing cal-mag into watering which led to a salt buildup and resulted in overwatering because nothing was draining out. That and overdoing the LST in flower may have ultimately impacted my yield but you live and you learn. Still have some sticky buds and a quality smoke. I definitely would recommend this strain to anyone and will be giving it another shot in the future.
I am so glad I found this community and thanks for following along.
Cheers!

Has anyone seen this in the gorilla auto? And is this advantageous for the plant?

I see this in the regulars I grow too on that first "complete" node between 5-7 points on the leaves. It's a genetic thing is the common answer I hear, not sure I would call it advantageous, but more won't hurt at this point. It's not a problem either. In my hydro setup the first few nodes will come out a little odd looking as it's growing so fast.

@HolySmoke, Thanks for the point. I grow a bit different, so maybe someone with more auto experience will stop in, but it's just a genetic thing seen in many strains auto or photo. Not good or bad just how it grew. It's looking like a good start!

Thanks, I've liked what I've seen thus far from other diaries and look forward to it. Yes, this is my first grow and I've educated myself a little bit prior to starting. I'm welcome to suggestions though considering this is my first kick of the can.

My advice would be to follow the basics, ph the water, decrease the humidity and temperature a little bit every week, don't overfeed, don't overwater. But overall enjoy and learn with every step, let me know if you are running into issues and need support.

Thanks man, I did use a bunch of LST during this grow but tried to stay away from messing with the main stem too much. If I didn't do it right I wanted to ensure that the main cola still produced. Your plant still has alot of growing to do. From what I've seen of that strain it's a beast. I'll be following along tho!
