The_Holy_Herb Hello to everybody and welcome to my second diary. My choice this time falls on Gorilla Cookies Auto from FastBuds.
The seed was 24 hours in water and then transfered for 24 hours into a wet paper towel inside a zip bag. As you see from the pictures the tail was out in less then 48 hours. Very nice a vigorous seed.
For this grow I went more "pro" and I opted for a proper pot, an air pruning pot of 20 liters.
As well as good soil, BioBizz Light-Mix.
The light is also new, a 200w led panel. Triple the power of the last grow, I know is overkill for one plant but who said that I have to use it at full power, is dimmable so problem solved.
Full lineup of BioBizz nutrients is ready.
The seed got planted in the pot and afterwards watered with 300 ml of water with some nutrients like root juice, bio heaven and acti vera in the solution.
The water was at 6.4 pH.
I went for 50% of the suggested dose by Biobizz as the first days or week of the seedling is very critical and puts down the base for a strong and solid plant.
Then I proceeded to put the pot inside the growing space with a plastic dome over it. The dome was crucial for the humidity as it was low as 40% without it.
The next day another 100 ml of the same water as the day before.
On 05-02-2026 the seedling sprouted but the leaves were still inside the seed shell that actually gently I helped to remove.
Finally on 06-02-2026 the seedling opened her first 2 little leaves and marked her first day of life.
The game is on! See you next week for the updates of the 1 week.

The_Holy_Herb Hello my friends! I am finally delivering the first-week update of this little baby!
As I mentioned in the germination phase, the seed sprouted in less than 48 hours, so I knew it was a good one—super vigorous!
After planting the seed in the soil, the little plant emerged in less than 24 hours, UNBELIEVABLE! Mother Nature is incredible, for real! BIG PROPS to FastBuds for such genetics! It's already a very promising sign! 👌 Loving it already!
So, today marks the seventh day of this Gorilla Cookies. The plant grew a little bit and is exactly 5 cm tall as of today. I like the colors of the leaves, a very vivid green 💚
This week the plant got around 700 ml of water 💧 🚿 🚰 with light nutrients like root juice, bio heaven and acti vera. 50% of the advised dose.
The last watering session was just plain water with some CalMag to regulate and balance the soil.
All waterings are adjusted to 6.4/6.5 pH.
This time I decided to go for a quality AIR PRUNING pot filled with quality soil, Biobizz Light-Mix, around 20 liters. I hope it will give the results I am aiming at.
Im going light with nutes because is just 1 week old and the seeling don't need too much attentions or food.
The light is at 25%, circa 50 watts atm.
I thinks is much better than my previous cheap lighting, we jumped from 70 watts to 200 watts.
I know is op for only 1 plant but im not planning to push it over 100 watts.
The distance between the seedling and the light is 55 cm at the moment. PPFD is 280 all around the seedling.
My only limit in this run is the space, I can allow grow till 40 cm. This is my HEIGHT LIMIT, 40 cm.
Otherwise I will risk some light burn and funny behaviour from the plant.
To takle the issue I am planning to go hard on this Gorilla Cookies Auto.
I have in plan TOPPING, HST, LST and a final SCROG net. All to keep the beast low and wide.
Im planning to top her around 3rd week, above the third node, maybe the fourth, and then some aggressive HST to make her wider than tall.
I hope I can manage.
So yeah this little baby will not have easy life with me...Not this time.
The temperature is ranging from 22 to 24 degrees celsius, is in the perfect spot. Don't look at my device, is off around 2 degrees celsius and around 10% on RH ahhaha.
My humidity is around 55% right now, so just ignore the crazy stats that is showing my little device. A new and more precise device is on the way.
For this run I will necessary need a FAN, an oscillating one. Otherwise I will have mold issues and also temps issues, at 50% of the power setting the light is rising around 5/6 degrees the general temp. No good. So soon in a week or 2 I will place a fan that blows 24/7.
Btw also the light schedule is 24/7.
Overall everything is going in the right direction!
Big things are coming guys!
Keep following and thanks for the time! See you next week for the udpates.

The_Holy_Herb Hello my friends! How are you doing guys? Weekend in sight!
Today is the last day of the second week, day 14 for this little lady.
This week went on quite easy, nothing exciting happened or better not yet🤣🤣
However this genetic is a beast for real, I can see the plant literally growing in front of my eyes.
It doubled the size in one week, it went from 5 cm to 10 cm tall as of today measuring. Is crazy to me! 🤯
This week she got watered only twice but 300 ml every time. I am feeding her accordingly to biobizz schedule. You can find the nutrients feeding in every week description😋
The waterings are all around 6.4/6.5 final pH. 💦
The lighting is set at 25% and that's around 50 real watts. I am measuring the ppdf and is around 400 at the top of the plant, is quite a lot for this early stage. However I believe that the plant can take it without suffering, no worries guys... is a bad ass 😍
The distance between the lamp and the plant is 50 cm at the moment.
The temps are around 25/26° celcius.
The humidity is around 52/53%.
Next week I am planning to top her, I dunno if cut above the 3rd node or above the 2nd one. I have big issues with space, the plant can be maximum 40 cm tall, is not much I know but with proper topping and HST I should manage. I will try to keep her as close as possible to the pot with some lst and ropes.
What do you think guys?
To be honest I am leaning more for the cut above the 2 node. That will focus the plant on 4 nice branches that I can split nicely to form a final SCROG with a proper net. This should save my ass and get us somewhere around 40 cm.
On the other hand I would love to cut at the third node but I am afraid that I won't manage in the 40 cm available. Is worth the risk? Advise me please.
I want to top her around day 17 or 18, so couple more days to go and think about where perform the topping.
I am very excited to perfom the techniques, I just hope I don't stunt her.
I am surprised about the smell, I can already smell a little... even if is just a baby right now. This means it will be a smelly one 😍
For this week that's all I have. I will be back next week after the topping and some other nice things and considerations.
Have a good weekend guys and smoke a loooot.
