AUTO: 3 x Gorilla Glue - 3 x Devil Cream

Today is day one of the seedling phase. The cotyledons have opened and the light is shining down onto the first set of leaves. The Gorilla Glue and Devil Cream are in Coco Jiffys inside a humidity dome where they will stay for the first week. I'm growing in Coco medium which has been pre buffered and mixed with 30% perlite. Coco medium has no beneficial nutrients on offer to a plant, its a neutral medium in essence. Keeping this in mind it's important to dose your girls very lightly from Day 0, some say don't feed until Day 7, some say dose from Day 0. In my experience, I've always run into issues when not dosing from Day 0. My last run is an example of this, where I had Cal-mag issues early on which 2 out of my 6 plants never fully recovered from, which will affect the overall yield I get from this crop. DAY 0 is today The cotyledons have opened. I dosed the girls with 0.2 mls of Sensi Coco Grow A & B, plus 0.2 of Sensi Cal-Mag which sits with an EC level of 0.5. Perfect for fresh babies in their first week. On top of this, I have mixed 1ml of Rhizotonic into 1 liter of RO water which I will be used as a foliage spray through this first week. The Rhizotonic will help promote a strong root base that will pay dividends once these girls start flowering. Strain Info: Sweet seeds - Devil Cream Auto Autoflowering strain. This polyhybrid is the result of the crossing of two selected strain of our purple-flowered varieties: Dark Devil Auto®️ (SWS38) and Black Cream Auto®️ (SWS37). This strain shows a great hybrid vigor since germination, developing the typical structure of an indica-sativa hybrid, with a strong main stem, surrounded by multiple buds on the side branches also with a good caliber and density. Tall-stemmed autoflowering strain. Some specimens can reach one meter in height, all this in just two months from the germination of the seeds. The aroma is sweet and fruity with hints of incense and lemony citrus tones. The plants produce copious amounts of aromatic resin with a powerful and exciting effect. Data sheet Variety SWS45 Indica: 78.6% / Sativa: 17.5% / Ruderalis: 3.9% THC: 15-20% · CBD: 0.8% Indoor Yield: 350-600 g / m2 Outdoor Yield: 40-175 g / plant Indoor / Outdoor Harvest: 8 weeks from germination Height: 70-120 cm Purple Flower: approx. 95% of the specimens Fastbuds - Gorilla Glue Auto Description These Gorilla Glue seeds have a legendary history behind them. The beloved original Gorilla Glue #4 was created by Joesy Whales and Mardogg. It was a hit from day one, winning the 2014 HighTimes Cannabis cup in both SoCal and Michigan. Since then, it has been considered one of the best hybrid strains you can grow. We had the honor of trying the original GG #4 and were very impressed. After getting our hands on the a clone of this strain in an event in California, we couldn’t wait to begin researching how to incorporate it into our autoflower catalog. It took some time, but we finally developed our very own, very special Gorilla Glue Autoflowering. It's amazing and was worth the price. The result is a magical strain that has the potential to reach a THC level of 24% with very low levels of CBD. Taste & Aroma Pine, with citrus notes. This Gorilla Glue strain also contains some terpenes that add some diesel notes to the bouquet. How It Grows The cultivation of these Gorilla Glue seeds is very simple and does not require any sort of special care. Just make sure you treat her well, and she'll reward you with many flowers. You will have more resin with this strain that you will know what to do with. GG's genetics create a delicate plant, the most important thing to do ensure you don't stress her so she can start making those buds. We recommend using pots up to 11-13 gallons (40-50 liters) to make the most out of outdoor growing. For indoor, it would be best to use bulbs of 600 – 1000 watts per meter squared. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, the Gorilla Glue yield is always respectable. Most individual plants show resin-dense buds, loaded with big and sticky trichomes. During the flowering season, it gives off an aroma concoction of sour lemon, pine, and fuel.

The seedling stage is over, the first day of being into their forever homes. This week didn't go without its challenges, the girls started presenting a slight Cal-Mag deficiency that I managed to cycle them out of within a couple of days by applying foliage treatment which acted faster than expected. Go the foliar dose! Only to slightly overdose them with Cal-mag (facepalm) 😳So have backed right off the Cal-mag for the time being 😜, I will let the girls that have been affected recover over the next few days. When people say Auto's are tricky they mean it, what I am finding through this auto journey is it's like an accelerated grow course for cannabis. Ive been growing for 2 decades and a bit with photoperiods, which you would think would give you an edge on growing Auto's. Ummm no! It certainly does not, lol. In terms of diagnosing potential issues yes, but in terms of growing its like a re-learning phase which Im totally loving. The girls have been transplanted into 3.5gl Air pots, with Coco medium that has been watered with Cal-mag solution and also a 0.7 EC Nutrient dose. For this Grow, I'm keeping the Nutrients simple Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco A + B, Cal- Mag and Rhizotonic as a foliage application. My PH is currently set with my Bluelab PH controller to 6, the girls are responding well to this level early in vege and are exhibiting some nice daily growth.

Pretty excellent week, all of my seedlings have bounced back apart from one. She still is exhibiting Cal-Mag issues. So I am dosing her daily to hopefully work her through this deficiency. All the ladies have shown outstanding growth this week, they are starting to show their 5th and 6th node, all have nice thick stems from foliar feeding them with Rhizotonic, this is an excellent pro tip. Rhizotonic is expensive, but it's not if you use it as a foliar spray, you get the same results with only using a quarter the volume you would if you dose your reservoir. The same with Cal-Mag, spray the leaves to get quick results, dose the res to maintain. I have also increased the nutrient dose to 0.9, in a couple of days I will increase that again to 1.0, The girls are responding well, I'm getting some really good growth out of them daily. The light is still on 50% Im not really interested in increasing that as they do not need it at 100% during vege. These Electric Sky ES300 are on another level, I've grown with HPS, MH and other LED's but this light is outperforming everything.

Follow me on IG for daily updates! @danksquared_ Week 4, everything is going well. I've managed to navigate around the Cal-mag issues that presented themselves earlier. I adjusted the PH from 5.8 to 6.2. Every second day I decrease the PH by one mark. So I get the full range benefit from 5.8-6.2. It also means the girls are able to access all nutrients mobile and immobile. Which is kinda ideal! All the girls have had their first top, I'm running with 4 branches, which I will top once more so I end up with 8 nice tops per plant. I really want to keep the canopy as even as possible this time around. With the airports, I have major root growth. The roots are literally bursting out of the 3.5gal pots. The combination of Rhizotonic, Extremely high DO water and airports seem to be working extremely well. I will trim these roots as I don't want them drinking the runoff on the tray. This will only cause issues in flower. Nutrients: Im only giving them Sensi A & B, plus Cal-mag. The Rhizotonic is being administered via a foliage spray, very economical and excellent for giving your plants what it needs directly.

Follow my insta for regular updates: Pretty easy week, been doing a lot of training with the girls. I'm shooting for 12-16 heads on each plant. Should set the scene for a nice level canopy. All of the ladies have been topped for the second time, some have been topped for the third and final time. Once all have been topped for the third time I will stop trimming etc to induce flowering. We are going into the 5th week, I still have at least 6,7 maybe 8 weeks of flower. Topping does halt autos from flowering, from my understanding Autoflowering is based on the hormones the plants produce if it's still producing new growth you can hold it in Vege, once you let the growth mature it will flower. The plant I had with the Cal-Mag issue is back and looking much better. She's turning green finally, it took a while but I'm glad to report shes back. I have my light nearly at full intensity now, the plans are responding really well. EC is at 1.3 and PH is ranging between 6.3-5.8.

We are entering week 6, Devil Cream, 2 of these girls have gone into pre-flower the stretch is right around the corner. I'm pretty interested to see how much they will stretch in a 3.5 gallon pot. I've had a constant issue with one plant, Cal-Mag issues, she's showing some much greener leaves than previously, lets see how she goes. Im not going to waste nutes on a sick plant. So if need be I will pull her. The girls have be topped 3 times and all have between 12-16 heads on them, so this should be an interesting grow. Gorilla Glue, as of today I see the first signs of pre-flower very very early though. The GG is going really well. Massive stalks, big green leaves and lots of heads. by the looks I think these will be shorter stature plants compared to the Devil Cream. I'm very excited to see how the stretch goes. With both these strains, I will only be growing the main head. Maybe one or two auxiliary branches but will try to keep that to a minimum. Fun times ahead.
