Strawberry Gorilla from Fastbuds

Bud_Wiser This plant shares the same environment as the other early stage seedling. I am maintaining the nutrient solution at 0.9 EC. Development looks right on track, and the size is perfectly adequate for week one.

Bud_Wiser Strawberry Gorilla Auto (FastBuds) – Day 14Healthy growth with no major issues so far, though she is quite small for 14 days old. Watered with 1000ml at an increased input EC of 1.3. Unlike the older plants, she is not getting any runoff yet at this volume. Environment updated to 60–65% humidity with stable temperatures.

Bud_Wiser Explosive late-veg development! This girl is adapting incredibly well to the challenging ambient temperatures. Her node spacing is looking tight and healthy, and she is showing great structural strength for a three-week-old plant. Watering & Feed: Stepped up her watering to 2000ml to combat the fast evaporation rates from the heatwave. Input EC is dialed to 1.5 with a healthy 1.3 runoff, showing she is actively eating and processing the nutrients. Environment: Maintaining a stable pH of 5.78. The lighting is perfectly balanced at 350–400 PPFD, giving her everything she needs to transition smoothly into her next phase.

Bud_Wiser We are officially entering Week 4 of the vegetative stage, and the plant is pushing through beautifully. Growth has been completely explosive this week, but we are currently battling a severe heatwave here in Germany. Daytime temperatures inside the tent are hitting 30–32°C, and night temperatures are sitting around 26–28°C. Because of this intense heat, the plant is showing some slight droopiness, but her underlying vitality remains strong. To help her cope and stay comfortable, I have adjusted the humidity to 60–65%. I also performed a very light defoliation—nothing too heavy, just enough to maximize airflow around the nodes without stressing her during this rapid vegetative expansion Nutrients have been kept steady to support this heavy vegetative growth phase. No new flowering additives are being introduced yet, as she is still a week behind the flowering girls and focusing purely on building structure. This girl is showing incredible vegetative vigor with a massive explosion of new fan leaves and side branching over the last seven days. The extreme 32°C daytime heat leaves her looking a bit droopy during peak hours, but she recovers nicely once things cool down. The light lower defoliation should help keep the air moving through her expanding canopy.
