Gorilla Cookies auto - FastBuds

CadillacGreen_420 Fantastic synchronized start and rapid development — the Gorilla babies are starting to toughen up and find their strength. This time I placed the seeds off-center in the pot in anticipation of LST (Low Stress Training). 🌱

CadillacGreen_420 The little Gorillas are progressing quickly without any issues. For the first three weeks I’m not adding any nutrients since I’m using Growmix as the substrate. I’ll be starting LST shortly. 💚🦍

CadillacGreen_420 These three gorillas are moving along great, already putting out that classic smell we all know and love. Unfortunately, I screwed up a bit with the LST—I definitely overdid it. While bending the main top, I didn’t realize I was already pushing it too far… and SNAP! Broke the tip clean off. Oh well, guess it turned into an accidental topping—hopefully it won’t cause any problems. Nice, clean growth just using water—Plagron Growmix has done its job really well. Starting this new week, I’ll switch to my usual BioBizz line to really push this veg stage! ?😀

CadillacGreen_420 Good growth overall, especially for pot #3, which produced a nice stretch. One of the three plants remained very twisted with the leaves, and some of them stayed covered and, not receiving light, turned yellow. I thinned it out and I’m expecting some stretching this week. The plant affected by an unwanted topping is growing well.

CadillacGreen_420 The grow is accelerating fast now. All three plants responded very well to LST and the canopy is becoming much more even. One plant exploded in vertical growth compared to the others, so I raised the smaller pots slightly to level the canopy. The larger plant had to be restrained with well-placed ties. Maybe I should have been more aggressive with the initial LST, or perhaps it’s also a genetic trait? Now it’s just a matter of letting flowering rock’n’roll 🤘🏻😎

CadillacGreen_420 Well, well, wel..With my space limitations, I always struggle whenever LST doesn’t turn out as planned. All the plants developed branching, but not like the one closest to the door, which I managed to train earlier. By leveling the canopy with ties on the branches and a wedge under the pot, I achieved pretty good uniformity. The yellow leaf tips you can see are from light stress due to excessive intensity, because with such limited space it’s always a tricky situation. Still, it turned into a nice little forest. From this experience, I learned that LST needs to be started earlier.

CadillacGreen_420 Week 7 The taller, more stretched one has already been hit by a snowfall of trichomes… I wasn’t expecting it this early! it’s already covered in fragrant, sticky resin. Incredible. Meanwhile, the one in the back left is progressing nicely. This week I’ve still noticed some stretching between the tops that I haven’t fully tamed yet. She’s very dense, vigorous, and lanky. Thanks to the SCROG net—which was absolutely necessary in this case—I managed to spread the branches apart and let a bit more light penetrate the canopy. The little tree by the door, incredibly bushy and packed with leaves, is moving at a snail’s pace and looks like a green wool sheep. I remove leaves and they grow back twice as fast! Normally I’m very selective with defoliation, almost like a sniper, but here I had to work in several sessions to avoid stressing her too much. Even so, she remains extremely dense—fantastic. Small flowers, but spread everywhere. Her development is definitely slower than the other two, most likely because the LST worked properly on her, while with the other two I applied it a bit late or didn’t do the best job. Overall it’s gonna rock 🤘🏻🌲

CadillacGreen_420 Week8 Everything is running smoothly. 💚🌲

CadillacGreen_420 Week 9 Let’s say it right away: the net is always a real pain with such a crowded canopy, but I did my best to get a decent result by pulling as many buds through the net as possible and keeping it as low as I could. It could definitely be done better with even more patience. Damn net, it always gets in the way. I noticed that the 35–38 DLI I was using was too low, so I gradually increased it while watching for any signs of light stress, bringing it up to 42–46 DLI. That was exactly what they needed.

CadillacGreen_420 Week10 Flowering is progressing well, and I’m happy to see that the effort I put into the SCROG has paid off. At the back right is the plant that is outperforming the other two in terms of development. Right now, those three large tops are shading a substantial amount of flower mass that could be exposed to the light with the help of a support wedge, after removing those tops a bit early, of course. I’ll be chopping them off next week.

CadillacGreen_420 Week 11 Excellent development, helped by a gradual increase in light intensity up to 45 DLI. They’re still looking beautifully green, and the tallest one at the back right had a top cola that was already perfectly ripe, so I took home a little souvenir. Basically, the turbo one as big as the palm of my hand, made of a greasy, sticky, absolutely delicious mass. 🌳🍭 Let the good times roll!
