Gorilla Cookies u. Tropicana Cookies

Chef_LA Unfortunately, the two plants don't look so good. They are hardly growing and the leaves are a bit stunted. I don't know exactly what's going wrong, but I think this isn't going to end well. It's not the seeds since they are two different plants.

Chef_LA Both plants have surprisingly recovered well, and I'm happy to see them growing like this. So far, there's only water without any nutrients.

Chef_LA The ladies are growing slowly, but they look healthy and beautiful. They've now moved into their own tent. I've started LST with the Tropicana. The Gorilla is still too small. I'm fertilizing with Advanced Nutrients according to the instructions (for now).

Chef_LA The plants look healthy, but they have hardly any growth 🤔. I really don’t know what’s going wrong. I’ve already experimented with the light intensity, but neither more nor less made a difference. I’m open to suggestions or tips and would love to hear from you. It can’t be the watering, nutrients, or temperature. I’ve had automatics with this setup before.

Chef_LA Easy growth but still too small. The flowering should start soon, but I don't believe in normal yields.

Chef_LA The flowering has begun, some leaves were removed, and the fertilizer was changed. Tropicana started 5 days earlier than Gorilla. In my opinion, the plants are still too small, but let's wait and see what the flowering brings. They look healthy and strong, and Lady Tropicana is already starting to smell wonderful.

Chef_LA The ladies have really stepped it up, Tropicana is getting some really nice buds, already beautifully covered in resin. Gorilla has shot up like crazy and is now slowly forming its flowers. I'm curious to see how they continue to develop. They were heavily defoliated.

Chef_LA The ladies have really bulked up. Gorilla has grown very tall, developed nice branches, and now the buds are sprouting. It will definitely take longer than Tropicana. Lady Tropicana stays small but is getting a dreamy headbud. The color impresses with its beautiful purple hues. The scent is getting stronger, and when I open the tent, a citrus aroma wafts out that makes me crave more. I'm already looking forward to the day when I can open the jar with the matured buds and taste them. In addition to the regular nutrients, I fertilized once with 100ml/L of nettle tea. The stigmas are slowly turning brown, and now it's time to keep a close eye on them.

Chef_LA Tropicana is getting thick, hard buds with a nice glaze of trichomes. The scent is becoming more intense. Now to find the right time to flush and prepare the lady for harvest. Gorilla continues to form flowers. I hope there will be some nice big buds and not just popcorn. She's diligently producing trichomes and enjoying herself. Fertilized according to plan and watered once with neem oil since I discovered a few fungus gnats.

Chef_LA Tropicana has been flushed and is only getting water now. The harvest is approaching, and I really didn't think that such a small, underdeveloped seedling would turn into such a beautiful and proud lady. She smells wonderful and has gorgeous buds. Gorilla is still putting her energy into her flowers. They are growing slowly but steadily. She is still being fed and needs a bit more time. Unfortunately, the fungus gnats are becoming very active again, but treating them with neem oil or nematodes won't help at this point.

Chef_LA Tropicana is only getting water now, it was treated with neem oil once. The trichomes are already nicely milky but still not enough amber colors. So, waiting until it's ready. Gorilla was still fertilized and also treated with neem oil. Today it was flushed and from now on it's only water.

Chef_LA Tropicana has only been getting water, for the last two days it hasn't been watered and since today it has been in the dark. I will harvest it in one to two days. It has thick hard buds covered with a crazy layer of resin. Sticky and fragrant, its sight already makes me dream. Gorilla has also received beautiful buds, they are already shining and in a week it will be ready. It is also only getting water.

Chef_LA Waiting for the right harvest time. There are still too few amber trichomes, so I'm watching and watering with cold water.

Chef_LA Harvested last week, left in the dark for two days, then cut, dried in the dark for a few days at room temperature of 20 degrees. Trimmed and jarred with a Boveda pack to cure and harden. First test in the vaporizer...😜😵‍💫... wow! It's 35 grams when dry, not much, but I'm really happy that this plant turned out so nice despite its rough start. Sticky buds that smell amazing and already produce a pleasant yet strong high. The effort was worth it, thanks to Fast Buds!

Chef_LA Waiting for the harvest, the lady is taking her time. But I also have time and enjoy the sight of the proud lady every day.

Chef_LA Done quickly, Gorilla is ready for the harvest. At the same time as the regular ladies in the other box, Gorilla Cookies Auto is also finished. The offset of planting two weeks later was perfect. She was placed in a dark room where she can still produce resin for two more days, and then she will be harvested. She has recovered very well; in the first weeks, she had major problems, and I didn't know what was wrong or if she would even make it. But she is strong, suddenly grew splendidly, produced beautiful buds, covered them with plenty of shiny trichomes, and smells so good that it makes your mouth water😋.

Chef_LA Harvest time, Gorilla Cookie Auto is ripe. I'm excited about the result. 😳 149 g grams not fully dried yet. Wow, my best result so far. Sticky, very strongly scented, and just beautiful to look at. If it hits like it smells and sticks, it's going to be intense, I believe. Can't wait. Dry weight: 79 grams
