Strawberry Gorilla Auto RF3?

ShivaShanti Purple Lemonade Auto by Fastbuds week 5-6 of total life. My Purple Lemonade Auto and Strawberry Gorilla RF3 Auto both experienced insect damage at the 3-4 internode. The damage seriously stunted the Strawberry Gorilla RF3 Auto but the Purple Lemonade Auto bounced back with a vengeance and exploded. Height quickly reaching around 30" during the last two weeks. This is all just experimental and for ornamental purposes so whatever happens is okay with me. I just want to document the flowering stage. We are now entering our fall season here in the Tropics. October can see temps in the 60s/70s F. I would love to have purple flowers to look at.

ShivaShanti Purple Lemonade Auto, the length between internodes is incredible. The plant has stretched a whole bunch. Ive actually never seem internodal spacing such as displayed here in these photos. All of these plants are under full sun. I do not believe its shade that caused this growth pattern. Its seems to be genetic. Maybe a fastbuds grower will comment on whether this is normal for this genetic or not. The plant is very vigorous now and starting to grow flowers. The Gorilla Cookies still seems to be the fastest flowering. All planted exactly at the same time. Lets continue to observe its flowering cycle.

ShivaShanti Purple Lemonade Auto by Fastbuds. Is slowly taking shape. Flowers sites have sprung up everywhere. Not much branching. We did have some early pest pressure the plant overcame and exploded anyway. No nutrient burns. I will stay on the same schedule. Let continue to watch as the plant pushes through its flower cycle. Edit: added sunshine photo.

ShivaShanti Purple Lemonade Auto growing on a very long stick. This varietal would benefit from LST or Topping if done at the 5th internode. I've topped the White Widow Auto with great results. 5th node, leave a stump and it will increase yield and help to limit that stretch. Its like a skyscraper of a plant. The flowers are petite and sparse. Im hoping this really is purple lemonade or did I mix up the purple lemonade and the strawberry gorilla rf3. I'm pretty sure I kept them all labeled but mistakes do happen. If we don't get a single purple flower then maybe I mixed them up. If someone from fastbuds can she'd some light on this possible mix up. I have not topped any of these fastbuds autos or used LST. I allowed them to grow naturally. Because I love the way natural looks and I don't have the need to increase yield. I don't even need to harvest. Only for hobby. I will Because I enjoy the process. Lets continue to watch Purple Lemonade Auto, let's see if we get some purple. I did add a fastbuds outdoor diary with 4 purple heavy indica strains for my next run. Follow to watch the progress. Thanks for the like and interest.

ShivaShanti Purple Lemonade Auto? Im thinking I mixed Purple Lemonade and Strawberry Gorilla RF3. This plant looks exactly like the green phase of Strawberry Gorilla RF3. I may have mixed them up. There is not a speck of Purple on these flowers and Purple Lemonade is PURPLE. Also the stature looks almost exactly like the black/purple phase shown on Fastbuds website. Im convinced. I think I may have mixed the two up on accident at the beginning of this experiment. Looks beautiful either way. The flowers are forming very dense. Super dense. Very happy with the density actually since some autos can get fluffy. Pound Cake Auto is growing in a larger pot with the exact same experimental soil/medium blend, they're right next to eachother, getting the same Sun and Pound Cake Autos flowers are growing very fluffy and airy.

ShivaShanti Convinced this plant is Strawberry Gorilla RF3 now. Trichomes continue to coat every square inch of her dense flowers. Flowers continue to fill out and grow larger. Im not sure how large they will get, structure dictates flower size anyhow. Looking great. Smelling great. Lets continue to watch her progress. Edit: Unfortunately I have found some spot of butritis on the lowest branch. It is very small and very localized to one branch. Im talking specks. I have clipped that branch and harvested the buds without specks of bud rot. Everything looks so healthy. Thats just a shame.

ShivaShanti Strawberry Gorilla RF3 Auto is coming along to the finish line. Its almost over. I believe that I allowed Pound Cake Auto to go a bit too long. Changing her aroma and weakening it slightly. I will be harvesting this girl at the beginning of her harvest window. Large fan leaves are beginning to look old and weak. Leaves inside the flower structure and sugar leaves are not weakening or turning colors. No yellowing. She looks okay. I did find a microscopic spot of bud rot but it was one branch and it was so small most people wouldn't have even noticed it was there. I inspected every square in of the plant. Its part of my hobby to spend time with the plants, hangout, inspect, etc. She will come down in a week or maybe two at the most. Edit: The flower structure with this strain is just so pretty. I love how the Calyxes just kind of stack into a lovely little tower of sweet nugs. The aroma is just so sweet and fragrant. I have an RF3 Mixed pack and I would not be entirely upset if another one of these showed its face haha. Definetely very good genetics.

ShivaShanti Strawberry Gorilla RF3 more or less confirmed. There are no lemon terpines. Its sweet funky canna fruits Im ahead on weeks because these photos deserve their own explanation. I have been observing the flower cycle on this varietal and the flower structure is just Sexy, plain and simple. The Calyx Towers are forming beautiful cones or spade shapes they are just so cool. These flowers look and smell so deliciously tasty. It makes even me (a non cannabis user) want to smoke it haha. I would love to grow this genetic again. We are almost to the finish line on this girl. She has stopped forming many white hairs and the flowers are swelling up. I will give her another week. I'd like the flowers to be nice and ripe but not over ripe as they seem to lose terpines when allowed to mature too far. Even though I don't use cannabis, getting the perfect harvest, dry and cure, are all part of the fun for me. The entire process is my hobby, the joy of processing something YOU grew is just the best feeling. I'll update again on harvest day. Thank you.

ShivaShanti Strawberry Gorilla Auto RF3 was a dream to grow. Such a beautiful plant and fast. Very fast vigorous growth. Very easy. Not one bug or spot of mildew or Mold. Very resistant to high humidity and high outdoor temperatures. I suggest anyone can grow this genetic outdoor with proper Sun Exposure you too can have a great harvest. I suggest a 3 to 5 gallon pot. I used a 3 gallon and got great results. Fastbuds is the real deal with their genetics. Very crystalline. Trichomes all over every leaf. And talking about leaves. Barely any leaves. This plant was a breeze to harvest and to trim. Simple took me 5 minutes. Love the beauty of this varietal. Thanks Fastbuds. Now shifting my focus to my Indica Dominant outdoor fall/winter grow experiment. Will update when I have someone smoke it to review the strength flavor aroma and such. Again. I do not use cannabis anymore for almost 20 years. I grow for ornamental purposes only. Its a joy to grow and to take care of such amazing plants. So much fun. This was great.
