ThatsmyGrow ๐Ÿช Gorilla Cookies Auto โ€“ Pheno Hunt (6 Phenotypes) Hey growmies ๐Ÿ‘‹ this time Iโ€™m doing something a bit different: Iโ€™m starting a pheno hunt with 6x Gorilla Cookies Auto, and Iโ€™ll be documenting each plant in a separate diary to properly compare the differences. ๐ŸŽฏ Goal of this run: Identify different phenotypes Compare growth, structure, and flowering traits Select the โ€œbestโ€ pheno based on my criteria What Iโ€™ll be tracking: Growth structure (compact vs. stretchy) Internodal spacing Leaf structure & color Flower development & bud structure Resin production โ„๏ธ (Later) smell & effects ๐Ÿ“Š Setup (same for all 6): Same medium Same nutrients Same environment โ†’ so any differences should come down to genetics ๐Ÿ“ธ Iโ€™ll post regular updates with photos and try to keep everything as comparable as possible. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Your input is welcome: If you notice differences or already have a favorite, drop a comment! Letโ€™s see which pheno performs the best ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

ThatsmyGrow ๐ŸŒฑ Week 1 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt The first week is officially done and all 6 phenos are off to a strong start ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ So far the differences are still subtle, but a few plants are already showing unique traits in structure and growth speed. Thatโ€™s exactly why I wanted to run this pheno hunt separately. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Some phenos are growing more compact Others are stretching a bit faster already Leaf shapes and node spacing are starting to vary slightly Overall healthy growth across all 6 plants ๐ŸŒฑ Right now the goal is simple: Build strong roots, keep conditions stable, and let the genetics show themselves naturally. ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature stable at 21ยฐC Trying to consistently maintain around 60% humidity Light intensity adjusted for early veg Feeding kept light for now The next 1โ€“2 weeks should start revealing much more noticeable differences between the phenos ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno are you guys watching closely already?

ThatsmyGrow Week 2 is now complete and the girls are starting to show their individuality ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ The environment has been very stable overall and growth has noticeably accelerated compared to the first week. Some phenos are already separating themselves from the others with clear differences in structure and development. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Different leaf structures are becoming visible Some phenos are showing broader fan leaves, while others stay slimmer and more sativa-like Noticeable differences in plant size and growth speed already appearing Overall healthy and vigorous development across all 6 phenos ๐ŸŒฑ To improve light penetration and airflow, I also removed a few fan leaves on some plants so the lower branches can receive more direct light. ๐Ÿ’ก Adjustments this week: Light intensity increased from 20% to 35% Temperature increased to around 26ยฐC Humidity staying between 63โ€“65% Continuously trying to maintain around 1.3 kPa VPD At this stage itโ€™s getting really interesting to watch how each phenotype responds under the exact same conditions. The next weeks should reveal even more differences in vigor, structure, and overall expression ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno is standing out to you so far?

ThatsmyGrow ๐ŸŒฑ Week 3 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week down and the differences between the phenos are becoming more obvious every day ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ The environment stayed very stable this week with temperatures, humidity, and VPD remaining consistent. Because all plants are growing under the exact same conditions, itโ€™s really interesting to see how differently each phenotype develops genetically. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Several phenos are already reaching close to 30 cm in height Meanwhile, some smaller phenos โ€” especially Pheno #6 โ€” are still around 13 cm Leaf structure and overall plant shape continue to vary a lot between phenos Growth vigor is clearly different from plant to plant now ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding & maintenance: This week the plants received their first proper feeding with around 4 liters of nutrient water. Some phenos seem to react more sensitively to the nutrients, as a few plants are starting to show slight brown leaf tips, so Iโ€™ll keep a close eye on them over the next days ๐Ÿ‘€ I also removed more large fan leaves to improve light penetration and allow the lower branches to develop more evenly. ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature stable around 26ยฐC Humidity staying between 63โ€“65% VPD maintained around 1.3 kPa Light intensity remaining at 35% Now Iโ€™m really curious to see when the first flowering signs will appear ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno would you pick so far?

ThatsmyGrow ๐ŸŒธ Week 4 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Week 4 has officially started and all 6 phenos have entered flowering ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Really happy to see every plant transitioning into bloom now. From this point on, things should get much more interesting because the differences between the phenos are becoming impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Several phenos are stretching hard since flowering started Some plants are already reaching heights of around 40 cm Growth patterns are becoming much clearer between each phenotype On the taller phenos you can already see that the first side branches are developing almost like additional main colas ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding & training: This week the plants received their first bloom nutrients following the Master Recipe. I also continued removing selected large fan leaves that were shading potential flower sites to improve light penetration and help lower branches develop more evenly. ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature stable around 26ยฐC Humidity remaining between 63โ€“65% VPD holding around 1.3 kPa Light intensity unchanged Now the exciting phase begins โ€” the next few weeks will probably be the most important ones to identify the strongest and most beautiful phenos in the hunt ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno do you think will dominate once flower production really kicks in?

That sounds really cool. I'm surprised to see that much variation going on. Hope you get some banger terp profiles!

I've done this strain 5/6 times before and everyone has been special in some way. I'm already looking forward to the result and how different they will be.
