*******The beginning of my relationship with this girl......Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds SWS74......Popped two seeds from the pack.
This is the strain that has me giving tons of respect to Sweet Seeds!!!!!!!! This is a beast of a strain and is one plan to have in my grow for some time......the grow was bautiful, the yield was huge, and the smoke is energetic and strong.....even with my high tolerance. Just amazing and I can’t say enough good things about these girls.......WOW Sweet Seeds🙏
Details being updated.........meaning I have to look back through my things :)
Loved this amazing girl.....two beans and two different phenos!!!!!!! One had and awesome fade with beautiful purple leaves in the bud. Covered in tricoms and chunky. Each girl was over 3 oz yield.
I pulled 8 clones off of her and ran two for outdoor, and then later did a 4 plant run with just this strain, these cuts, in Organics and indoors........then we get to talk about Thrips!!!!! Back to coco Baby!!!
Anyway, I got a 4 pack and still have two left. these two were amazing and ran her three times for a total of 8 plants.........awesome!!!!!! The high is so strong and with a great Sativa charge to her.....for a while:) Got a great flush on these girls and the ash is super white and the purple buds were very frosty and fatter than the other girl.
Will update more over the next weeks.........tough keeping everything updated as I also keep my own Excel file on grows.....blah blah blah.
Happy growing and this certainly worth the grow.
*******This week is used for cloning the first run and took 8 cuts......Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds SWS74......Next week Is the outdoor run using two of these girls followed by a four plant indoor run***********
Clones were cut and getting ready for the next runs.........
Took 4 from each of the two girls......will be running one of each for outdoors this summer, two of each for a mono run, and one of each for mother plants.
Put the first layer of the SCROG as well this week and will work on pulling the two plants over the full canopy. May need to run a second depending so will wait and see. They have been so awesome so far they I want to keep her going........love photo periods!
They looks rather silly this week all bent over and in a ball but they are pulling hard against the ties downs and they have great vigour!!!
They had a good run at a 7 week veg cycle and should have a nice root mass now in the 5 gallon pots.
*******This week is going to be used for the outdoor run from 2019......Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds SWS74......Next week’s diary is the mono run indoors from the remaining cuts taken from the seeds***********
Posting a quick summary of the outdoor run of Gorilla Girl from last summer on this week......should turn this into three diaries I guess.......
She grew just as awesome outside with organic nutrients as she did indoor with bottled nutrints.
They were put out late.....not until late June so they never got really big....nor did I want them to so I just ran them in 7 gal pots.
This was the dark pheno that was so freaking awesome. She finished in 9 weeks and so crazy frosty......so proud of her.......then I lost the mother plant to thrips and my treatment of them......so disappointed......favourite girl of all time was lost😭😭😭 I guess that is why we take pictures.......
*******This week will be used for 4 cuts that were taken of the seeds......Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds SWS74......There were three of the green pheno and the last of the purple pheno***********
********Week of June 1 to 7, 2019.
First full week of 12/12 light schedule and she is setting in her flowers.
Second SCROG put in to help with those future heavy buds😀👍
More detail coming :)
*********Seeds from outdoor run.......going again Baby!!!!!!........this run will complete this diary and will add a harvest week after their completion**********
*****This is the fourth and last run in this diary........the two girls begin the adventure, new twins run outdoors, and the final four indoors*****
**This week will be updated as week 1 for Gorilla Girl grow started July 17/20**
Hey Growmies........went and cleaned out the safe to make some room for the last harvest and SON OF A B!!!!! I found a jar of buds left from last summer. I was sure I had given it all away. Holly crap, so excited.......I pulled out about 80 seeds or so from the bud.
She was run twice in doors......in this one diary for example......she never hermied on the inside runs. On the outdoor last summer she did hermie and started producing seeds. That should mean these seeds are not guaranteed to hermie and maybe I should look for some females🧐🧐🧐
So......popping some beans to see what happens😃😃
****** Week 8 Vegetation, from seed - Sept 5 to 11/20
The girls have been transplanted into 5 gal fabric pots. We have settled in on two girls from the 8 seeds popped. GG1 is certainly has more vigour than GG4 with thicker branches and they keep on stretching longer longer.
They were transplanted from solo cups into 1 gal pots on day 15 and then into 5 gal fabric on day 50. They were topped on day 23.
Finally got the girls transplanted this week so that I can finally get LST going on them.....they are so long now that they are roughly 30” across when bending the top branches. It appears the photo tent is going to end up in a SCROG this run so no not as worried about the height as much as horizontal sretch😃
I ended up topping the four longest branches on GG1 on Sept 8 to try and keep her a little smaller. Will finally get to work on GG4 when netting arrives this weekend. That is a lot of abuse on GG1 this week with transplanting and topping four branches. They are ready to flower and letting me know it.
A little more detail.....

********Week 9 Vegetation- Sept 12 to 18, 2020*******
This will be the last veg week. Flipped to flower cycle at the end of the week:)
These girls are pushing out branch Baby!!!! Getting long and keeping them tied down for now. They want to flower and almost aren’t waiting for the lights to switch😃
LST this week on these girls. Getting them ready to put in a SCROG I think. Pull them down for now to start pulling them wider and make it easier to fill in the canopy’s net. Actually, they were only tied down for this week. At the end of the week I removed the ties.
There were 4 feed days this week and Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor was introduced this week.......getting ready for flower👍 Switch to Bloom nutes next week. Going to finish these girls with Advance Nutrients line this run. I may have to use a supplemental from Green Planet to get through to harvest. This lines bottles are getting closer to a year and a half old now........use em uip👌😃 Not buying more Bud Factor X for example (still have a couple of syringes worth) but rather will add Terpinator and Rezin instead.
Little more detail:
Sept 12/20

- Sensi CalMag @ 2ml, Bud Candy, B52 @ 1.5ml
- 625ppm and 5.2pH
- 2L each for the girls
- Leaf colour is a little light so getting the Magnesium up and Nitrogen......that’s why using the heigh nitrogen Advance Nutrients Cal Mag.
- pH is a little low but I am cool with it and working on not letting the pH drift too much yet in their run.
- They are ready.........they want to flower😃

That takes us to the end of Veg for these two girls.
Cheers Growmies and have a great week🙏
********Week 1 Flower - Sept 19 to 25, 2020*******
We switched to flower this week and put in the first SCROG layer.....been busy😃These girls have been pretty happy this week given they have grown quite tall and buds are setting and moved on to stacking already. Great signs so early on😎🤞 I had LST on the girls and then decided to remove the ties since they were topped and under a net so maybe stretch wouldn’t be too bad.......ties went back on at the end of the week😃💪🤪 Pheno 4 has on branch that had HST done and knuckle formed, still growing up so had to keep it tied down as well. Down side to running a 9 week veg, if they want to get big, they will😂😂😂
Pest maintenance this week as we are getting the last days I am able to comfortably spray the girls. Lost Coast Plant Therapy to keep the gnats, aphids and thrips in check😃
Keeping the waterings up and getting a fair bit of runoff from the feedings but that is best for Coco to avoid lockouts and pH issues. There were only three feeding days this week. We switched to bloom nutes for base and added silica for supplementals. Vitamin B and Kelp coming from B52 and sweetener for the microbes from bud candy, Bud Ignitor doing its thing as PK boost. As well as Sensyzime to let the enzymes clean up the root zone because they have been in the pots for a few weeks now.
Little more detail:
Sept 19/20 - Day 1
- Plant Therapy @ 5ml in 1L water. Ph to 5.4.
- Folier spray applied to whole tent half hour before lights on, used 3/4 of mixture
- Feeding mixture was Sensyzime @ 1ml only
- 25ppm and 5.2pH......missed it a bit.
- each girl given 3L
- SCROG put in
Sept 20/20 - Day 2
- Sprayed the last of the IPM mixture on the tent tonight.
- Noticed several small shinny spots on leaves later today.....suspect from Folier spray on leaves.
Sept 21/20 - Day 3
- Nice full strength week 1 mixture applied today
- Rhino Skin, Cal Mag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom A&B , B52, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy @ 1ml.
- 625 ppm and 5.7pH
- 3L given to each girl.......not enough runoff.....bump feedings up to 4L going forward.
- silica added today.
Sept 23/20 - Day 5
- CalMag @ 2ml, Rhino, Sensi Bloom A&B, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml.
- 850ppm and 5.9pH
- 4L given to each girl.
- better run off amount
That wraps up the first week of flower........The net is in and the lights flipped. The girls were ready for flower and now we just need to keep giving them what they want for the next 6 weeks and then coast from there👍 These are some strong and fast growing girls.....keeps a grower on their toes! I expected the heights to be where they are but must admit I was hopeful that was the end of week 2. Issues will come in when trying to ripen the bud around week 8. They are growing so well right now.....keep them happy and in the end everyone is happy👍❤️👍
Such a solid strain @Sweet_Seeds......a great hybrid you should be very proud of!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Main stock split for no apparent reason?? anyone had this happen with minimal to no stress on the side branches?? Wondering if I topped too low or should have tried to leave more stem from the last node. Growing hard and she just splits, I have seen this bending branches...😀👍🙏
Yes you topped too low. Always leave a nub so when the knuckles grow later on she doesn't split . So not worry though . Tape her up and in a week she'll weld herself back together . Splitting it like this this can actually make the plant become stronger in the long run .
********** Week 2 of flower - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 ***********
It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started new supplemental nutrients as well.
On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Gorilla Girl was better off than one of the Cream 47’s with a cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though and when tied together and looked after, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well.
Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement.
2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road.
IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites.
Really good growth this week. I need these girls to stop now though!!!!! They getting really tall and have roughly 12” above the canopy now. The node stacking is really good and they are forming a number of colas. Looking very positive so far! This strain is so vigorous and she just want to go👍 They have gone from 18” tall to 34” in a week......crazy good growth.
Little more detail........
Sept 26/20, Day 8
- Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days
- 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml
- 830ppm and 5.7pH
- will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks
- side branching doing very well and coming up.
- GG4 a little bare in the middle of the plant with just four colas.
Sept 27/20, Day 9
- 2nd SCROG layer added.
- GG colas getting long........need to add more Silica as well.
Sept 28/20, Day 10
- more microbes today
- 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml
- 290ppm and 6.3pH
- pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well.
- Good amount of runoff today.
- GG4 has one cola leaves not happy. Not sure if its light or wind. Moved the closest fan to her today.
- GG1 shooting lots of branches right now.
- GG4 bud stacking is happening already and doing very well.
Sept 30/20, Day 12
- Heavier feeding today
- 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml.
- repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......not as bad for this girl.
- Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound.
- Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top.
Oct 1/20, Day 13
- Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking.
- 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml
- 665ppm and 5.9pH
- Since these girls are so tall I am not going to give them Green Planet Massive. I find they get quite a bit taller with that product. I am looking for chunky and not tall so I will keep up with Advanced PK boost.
- IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls.
That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be the end of week 9 to first days of week 10 of flower, about 7 more weeks.
Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Looking good Sweet Seeds, she is a grower and filling in already in first two weeks of flower........If you veg longer than 3 to 4 weeks, make sure you have allowed for height concerns💪
******** Week 3 of flower, Week 12 growth - Oct 3 to 9/20 ***********
It has been less exciting this week with respect to new issues👍😃
GG4 has reacted very well to the stem cracking but just leaving the area alone at the same time.
Really impressed with how the colas have been stacking. They are done their stretch now and will work on getting thicker🤞💪👍
Leaves are getting a little darker for my liking this week. It is one of the things I have often struggled with using AN Sensi Grow and Bloom base nutes.,,,,,,keeping the feeding at 1ml.L to maybe 1.5ml at max.....stopped using their CalMag Basie of nitrogen levels as well. Not sure where else to go and will just give her some time for now and stay the course and see what the next two weeks bring.......keep up, increase, the plain water feedings.
GG4 should have some nice size colas. At three weeks her tops are the size of a BIC lighter.......with 6 more weeks of swelling to go.....keeps you smiling😃💪🤞

Working on the update for the week.........
*****Week 4 Flower - October 10 to 16, 2020, Days 22 to 28*********
Sorry gang....been really busy at work and life.
Adding in some photos for now.
The tent is getting stuffy and full. Flower has been very strong for growth.
They are doing awesome!!! One making spears and the other bats😃👍
Nice progress for week 4 Sweet Seeds!
*****Week 5 Flower - October 17 to 23, 2020, Days 29 to 35*********
Sorry gang....been really busy at work and life.
Adding in some photos for now.
New tent arrived this week. Finally getting into a 4 x 4......room for the girls.
Cut them out of the SCROG and will finish with Bamboo for those that need.
5 watering days this week, 3 were feed days. Microbes and enzymes again this week.
They are thick Sweet Seeds......coming along👍💪🙏
More info coming.....
***Week 6 Flower - October 24 to 30, 2020, Days 36 to 42*********
Sorry gang....been really busy at work and life.
Adding in some photos for now.
More info coming...
**** Week 7 Flower - October 31 to Nov 6, 2020, Days 43 to 49 *********
Sorry again gang......still have lots on the go.
This was flush week.......One watering at start of week had Rezin. Flawless Finish given on day 45. Wasn’t going to but they slowed down drinking quite a bit so they are also closer than I expected. They will see week 9 though, unlike Cream 47.
Swelling and trichome production has picked up last week and this one👍 Fade is coming but she is not producing the same purple fan leaves as the original seeds phenos🙁 They should lighten up yet though and feed on themselves more since they have another couple of weeks.
Sorry gang......busy life and November and holding the same.......will get the weekly details added in here sooner or later........I love this strain and want to put together a nice diary to convince others to give her a try.......she is powerful and grows big!👍
Purples starting to come in the bud........this is the week the leaves should change color but never did. Trichomes are building this week and you can tell as soon as you try and pick up anything else😀
Cheers Growmies and have an awesome week!!🙏
****** Week 8 Flower, November 7 to 13, 2020 ******
Hey Growmies......winding this run down........they are ripening this week and next.......this is the second week of flush.
Lights are down and temps are down to mimic fall.
Just lots of plain RO water this week......keep flushing out the media👍
One is growing spears......the other is growing bats😂👍
So much fox tailing that there will be a good mixture of trichomes at different stages of ripening.......should make for good smoke! Trichomes are continuing to come out more and bud swelling has continued,👍
That’s what I have for a quick update gang........as you can see they are by themselves in the tent now......these girls have more Sativa in them and taking a little longer to finish......better for me with trimming as well🤪😃🙏
