Gorilla Glue Auto by Fastbuds (Organic)

Zollies_zn I presoaked the seed for 12 hours and planted her about 0.5cm into pre wet soil in a 10L fabric pot and into the tent! She popped up with some solid serrated leaves, strong green and healthy cotyledons and kept her shell on the one cot! Left it on for nature to do her thang! She was under a 240W quantum board and then on the 29th of May a Mars Hydro 48 joined the mix, but left a bit later on - you’ll be able to tell by the pictures haha!

Zollies_zn At this stage I had no fans and no humidity control except the vents in the tent⛺️ Still just watering at this stage (water out the dam on the farm) started moving my watering away from the stem to try train the roots. The seedling also fell over at day 7 which concerned me - was worried it was a root rot issue (considering there is no airflow maybe it was a weak stem) and so I watering scarcely. I was pleased with the growth of the plant, she was motoring faster than any other auto I’ve grown - she is my first indoor from the start! New growth was slightly light green but I knew the soil was hotter a bit further down (made a soft spot the size of a noodle bowl for the seedling with no nutes)

Zollies_zn Chugging along, starting to pick up some pace now and standing tall! Still only watering and quite sparingly to try make her search for water 💦 She was growing with tight inter-nodal spacing (compared to outdoor at least)🌱 Changed lighting to 20/4 and got a timer to leave lights off during hottest time of the day while I was at work. Bumped temps up a bit! 🔥 I was very pleased with progress and able to see daily gains!💪👍 mars hydro 48 joined us for three days!

Zollies_zn Carrying onward and upward - I decided it’s time to move forward and begin training 💃 just a simple bend for the top of the stalk - anchored the bottom to prevent pull on the roots! Still only water! Still trying to water further around stem to help roots search 💦🌱 maybe watering too scarcely as she was droopy! Moved the driver of the 240W quantum board inside the tent of more warmth! Oh and pots have been on crates to Assist with being off the ground and allowing airflow beneath!

Zollies_zn This week I saw a lot of growth, I tied her down and started going heavier on the defoliation. She started drinking a bit more. I did give her a feed of some organic powder this old lady made for me! Very light dosage! She was recovering very fast and we’ll from defoliation - impressed with the daily progress 🌱

Zollies_zn Pre flower time baby 🔥💐 this lady stretched a lot - but I was heavy handed in defoliation and tying her down. Gave her two more feeds of that locally made organic powder (I will get the mix, I trust the old lady in that it’s organic) I started biobizz bloom in the next week! 🍀 very happy with the training and how she is looking! Towards the end of the week she started shouting a lot of pistols and developing some delicious looking bud!

Zollies_zn Yoh, week 2 of flowering and this lady is drinking a LOT of water💦 she got fed 10ml of BioBizz Bloom twice🍌(PS sorry if I input the nutes wrong - this is the true regime here haha) I’ve now stopped defoliation in the fear of hurting yield. I must say this lady is gaining weight faster than a middle aged man with a slowing metabolism and abysmal eating habits 💪 she’s started trichome production and is giving off a slight scent! Very happy with the progress on this girl! I put another fan in for extra airflow, near the intake of the tent - I have no extraction or intake system and just two fans going in there! 💨

Zollies_zn Flowering is continuing onwards at a rapid rate 🤩! The buds are filling out nicely, pistol production is on the increase! 💪 Trichome production has started in earnest 💎 and the smell is increasing properly 👃 - still drinking heavily 💦 . I was away for a few days - hence the gap in photos! 📸 Over all very happy with the progress so far😁 - should I be defoliating more? 🍃 There is a lot going on in that canopy there I must say🌿 - I want to defol but worried about loosing yield or stressing the lady! Any advice would be appreciated!😁

Zollies_zn Alrighty, so unfortunately I was away this entire week due to work thangs🤵 But we gotta pay for our hobby somehow right 😁 Anyways, I had a mate watering for me but that’s all I trusted him with ✌️ He did a fine job! I walked into the house and was immediately hit with the sweet dank smell 👃 I unzipped the tent and it just hit me even more, this girl is smelling tops👍 She turned from a young girl to a woman this week and she is getting thickkkkk👋😍 I took her out to have a good look and line behold - powdery mildew 😰😭 she’s close to done, so I defoliate her heavily, cranked the fan speed up and removed all but 3 plants from the tent ⛺️ the RH dropped to 40%, in hoping it now stays there. Not much I can do about the temperature fluctuations🙆‍♂️🏼 Need to get an exhaust fan 👋 But otherwise she is thickening up nicely, frosting up delightfully and seeing delicious 👌😍 hopefully I can keep the PM under control!

Zollies_zn Again, away for the week but managed to make a journey home to check on the lady😇 my word she is really smelling out my little cottage 🤣as you open the door it hits you! And they’re in a tent!! Anyways, Day 72 for this one and we’re getting close, she’s looking really good! I can’t wait to harvest her 🤤 there were two tiiiny spots of PM on some leaves and I took them off and also took off a few fan leaves covering bud sites ✂️ other than that, same feed of biobizz bloom - I’m going to stop feeding her now and let her do her thing until she’s ready 😍 I’m back home from tomorrow, thank goodness - hate being away haha!🙃🙃🙃

Zollies_zn Well guys n gals, we’ve come to the last week of this beautiful plant, so I certainly am going to flood you all with pictures 🤣✌️ I hope you enjoy! I just had to because she was such a pleasure to grow and I’ve grown real fond of her! Always exciting by sad when you cut one down 🙆‍♂️🏼 She developed nicely over the last week, she’s ripe and ready! I don’t have a jewelers loup, but I’m 99% sure she’s ready💪🙌 she got the chop today and I’ll post harvest update soon! She was fed just water and for the last 3 days she was removed from the tent and left in darkness ✌️🌱 she’s super pungent, it’s a sweet fuel like smell and really stank out my whole place 🤣enjoy! I know I did 😁😁😁

Zollies_zn So this was my first indoor auto (plant even) from start to finish and I must say she was just a breeze to grow 💪💚 very easy, she was a very strong plant -she bounced back very nicely from heavy defoliations through the grow and tying her down ✂️ I loved growing in Organics soil and was pleasantly surprised with the weight ⚖️ 71 dry was great considering I didn’t add any ‘plant steroids’🤣 about 10 grams of this is a bit fluffy from the lowers and will be used for edibles! Next grow I will be more diligent in cleaning lowers 💪🌱 The 414 wet weight was with branches and before trimming... not sure exactly what to do there hahaha! I trimmed most fan leaves off before hanging and then went in for the sugar leaves once dry! She hung to dry for 7 days and now she will go into jars for curing to develop those terps! She already BANGS and had people smelling her on me long after I left the room🤣💪 I’m getting a gassy/fuel/fruity/citrus smell off of her! One thing I must comment on is the gram per watt story below. I’ve entered everything there but there are two more gorilla glue plants which are flowering in the tent at the moment... so this was not the only plant in the tent. Therefore the gram per watt is someWATT (hehe) off. PLEASE NOTE; 📝 I will come back and edit the smoke report once the bud has cured for a decent time👍 I will also get out the macro lense and post some Lekker photos 🔥Exercising some serious restraint by not incinerating these beautiful looking and smelling sticky AF nugs 🙆‍♂️🏼🔥 Overall I’m very very happy and surprised at my dry weight! Thank you to Fastbuds for damn awesome genetics 💪😁 this Gorilla Glue is a beauty!! On harvest her roots filled the entire 10L fabric pot from top to bottom and side to side 💪😐 you know how when you water it disturbs the soil ontop? Well during flowering when I watered her it didn’t disturb shit because it was just a huge mass of roots 🤣👍 makes me wonder how much more she would have yielded had I had an automated watering system whereby she could drink when she wanted to! 💚 one day!! ILL BE BACK!
