Grasshopper96 Let's start by thanking my sponsor without explicitly naming them since I don't have GrowDiaries' permission, but I wanted to thank them anyway for these seeds.
Let's explain a few things; I am a very competitive person with a sense of personal justice that is above the norm, and if someone is doing something that I think is against the rules, I can't keep my mouth shut and stay quiet. Just like at work, I think this has penalized me a lot in the competition. So, on these 5 Gorilla Z, I swear I will stop bothering people who kept their plants indoors while participating in this competition for a while. I spent about €600 just on seeds for this competition! It might be that I took this too seriously, don't you think? So, let's start this diary with the Gorilla Z, which I had already chosen before the recent competition that won here on GrowDiaries. Shiva helped me and got second place at a cannabis cup with this strain, which I never would have thought, considering this strain is now a bit older. Now, let's get to the technical part.
As I always do, a glass of water with 4 or 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide for the first 24 hours of osmoprinting. Then, if the seeds haven't sprouted yet (which is unlikely if they are Fast Bud with this method), they go into an airtight container between damp paper towels in the dark.
I apologize again to the judges and my "fellow growers" for my behaviors that might seem hostile, but in life, one never stops modifying their character and growing until (though it's difficult, but they say it's possible) one reaches Nirvana on Earth.
Edit day 4: the seeds were moved from the paper towel to the 2.5-liter pot for germination yesterday morning, which this time I'm trying not to do in the final pot as I usually do due to the reverential fear we all have when transplanting autoflowering plants.
Edit day 6: the seeds have become seedlings; 4 are normal and promising, and one might have been affected by damping off, only time will tell.

Grasshopper96 So let's start the diary with the obituaries, a Gorilla Z is leaving us due to the dumping off, what a shame, but now let's focus on the 4 survivors.
The plants are in the jungle (my plants all together look like a jungle) sheltered from the scorching July sun, but despite the high temperatures, they seem healthy and in good shape✅✅
I'll update again around mid-week if work allows me, I swear I'll try and I apologize for the delay in updating the diary.
Update day 4: yesterday I found a plant eaten and upon closer inspection, I found a tiny caterpillar about half a centimeter long. As a precaution, I sprayed the plants with a dosage of 10 ml/liter of Solabiol's Flipper, it's a product allowed in organic farming extracted from what remains after olives are pressed for oil, and most importantly, now for their entire life cycle (because it falls within the 60 days of active ingredient protection) they should be protected from many things that might try to eat them😊👊

Grasshopper96 The plant that was attacked by the caterpillar seems to have recovered, and I don't notice any other damage.
Plant growth: I think the plants are suffering from the heat, and the fact that I put them in a 2.5-liter pot due to a lack of soil doesn't help.
Pests: other than what I've already mentioned, the plants are doing great.
Nutrients: I'm still only giving root boosters, and I don't think I'll give fertilizers while they're in the 2.5-liter pot.

Grasshopper96 Let's start by saying one thing: I made a mistake by transplanting too early, one clump broke and it was the one from the most promising plant......
Weekly report: I transplanted the surviving plants two days ago, I hope they start to colonize the new space very soon.
Nutrients: having transplanted, I only gave 2ml per liter of deeper underground.
Pests: flipper protects my grow.
@squalino, you know here in Italy we fight over who is less "southern." For the people from Turin, I'm from the south, while for those from Naples, I'm from the north. I have neither art nor part.
