Update : 9 stars easy ! Royal Gorilla Royal Queen Seeds Grow expectation - 100 g/plant Gorilla Max - 88 g. Lanky Gorilla - 108 g. Bunny Gorilla - 104 g. NoName aka Smallest Gorilla - 101 g. This strain grows really nice, plant loves training and respond quick to it. Because of couple things this strain didn't show the best part : 1. I overdried them at week 5 of flower. Damage was done, two best plants, being most dry , suffered most. 2. I didn't feed them enough, they were on diet because of picky Cookies, hate two waterings, so its socialism at mines, all are even. 3. Too light lolitop and no second wave of defoliation could lead to smaller colas. 4. Pollination by unstable Cookie genetics led to lower harvest. Overall i am happy with them. This strain has no special needs, plants repeated themselves nicely, so genetics is strong and stable. Maybe would give 9 stars, but airy buds and small top colas drop rate. This is far from GG#4 , but smell and pinky/violet calaxies makes bud really attractive for eyes and nose. Bud is sticky, oily. Rate of Top cola vs Bottom Crap is quile high . About 70 % of crop is top colas and its really good. Colas are long and well packed, just thin. Most of girls had 80-90 milky and rest amber. Weight could be better, but pollination and late watering, had their influence 100%. Smoke report : Smoke is strong, taste is wonderfull, so fruity and light. A bit of cinnamon, vanilla and some fruity berries with citrus in them. Really really nice. Bud is very crystally and oily,i like them really. Overall rate : This strain will make starting grower smile all journey long and result is quite decent for hash type, low producer strain. Bud will smack you down, she is strong. Maybe won't repeat it, but its not a fail !

Day 114. Gorilla Max is totally ready, maybe she would bulk up, but last white pistil went brown at least a week ago. Time to trim. Bud not solid, but kinda hard, bottom all airy and small, but she smells and sticky like hell, so fruity ... Had to chop her, because got tiered of seeds everywhere, so cleaned my draws and fridge, from 45 found bag seeds started new diary, had to make space for them. Want to try out 12/12 from start and even if i would leave them under natural sun , they would stretch too much in first stage of grow and would repeat that grow patern indoors. Scissors hash was nice, super soft, hard to roll, all stays on hands. On this plant found two seeds, maybe some hidden in colas, but its not even close to bad that i was imagining at the beginning. My watering damage is obvious, Gorilla Max and Bunny were best plants, now - they are smallest... Last weeks very important, till week 5 of flower and that incident they were leaders, overdrying don't work . Hope i will learn this lesson. Day 120. Last 3 girls are down. Gorilla Max - 88 g. Of dry bud. Think she and Bunny will be smallest of them all. Buds are airy, but very sticky and all calaxies went pink. So in spliff it looks really funky. Needed to lolitop them higher, maybe overall look and cola structure would be better then. Lanky Gorilla is a champ, no doubt. Think this girl should beat 4 ounces easy. Day 126. So total of all 4 plants is 401. A bit less than was hoping, but target achieved. Update will follow.

Nutrients : Same as usual , it is still a plant even if it's a weird plant so sane feeding than a regular one and go like that until the end except if a problem accrues ( over or under feeding ) and in that case you can easily do the balance. No need to top now as the 2 top leaves will help for photosynthesis so just wait for the 2 stems to be well developed before considering cutting them. No need to LST now but it will be a good option as you will have 2 sides with that 2 stems so maybe you will bend them ro help building a shape. Btw it is a genetic "issue" mostly weird that will maybe slow a bit the grow but nothing harmful

Another grower told me the same think , his cookies from RQS were not vigorous , they were mutating , so I guess you need to avoid the RQS coockies , every breeder have a "fail" in their catalogue so I guess that one is the RQS fail ( from my experience , not the only one but other than that RQS is legit and reliable ) Don't ask for refund as they are not refunding , ask for a new pack or a pack of a different strain to be sure to not fail again : I woul have personnaly asked for a pack of the failed seeds + a pack of any strain to compensate the time lost , they can say no but they can say yes

Hey that's great work ! basically everything is going perfectly. You're in the middle of the flower stretch so anything you remove from the plant will stunt the growth which is too bad. The best you can do now is to LST, just slightly bend the new growth so you're comfortable with the height. There are these specialized nets you can buy which are handy, otherwise you can use "plant ties" to bend them. after the flower stretch is over if you really want you can remove the bottom set of leaves. Right now is the right time to identify the bottom set of (future) buds and use a razor blade to remove them. They dont grow big anyway and if you take them off the other ones get bigger. Just buckle your seat belt for the ride ! Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi buddy first your plants look great 😍👌. If you let it get a little too dry, the roots look for water, if you do it in the perfect time window, it can drive growth to explode 👍

@OutForReal , @rhodes68 , @OGgrows , @@@Athos , @HighRoller909 - Thank You all for answers . Just to clarify - its not autos, that type i grow only in summers outdoors, fact. Now Cookies - overfed without food , mutated, full of deficiencies and now even too stretched . Contacted James couple times, no replies, no actions. Conclusion - RQS is baned from my gardens. Gorillas grows as champions , have some other beans from them, but wont spend a penny on them again ...

HighRoller909commented5 years ago
@AsNoriu, Hope you get decent buds off cookies,but garden looks amazing,gorillas will pay off great I see. my experience with midweeksong garbage ; I bought a feminized seed,they sent me regular and it was a male.a great plant was wasted.contacted them,no replies for a week,then they replied as if it was my fault.after a conversation they sent me a new seed,only one.along with that seed,I had ordered a girl scout cookies auto from them,it didn't flower,replacement seed did also not flower because they were not autos.also,I heard they sell seeds from hermie plants they grow.After what I got, I believe it is true.I'm going with ACE Seeds, they are great.true landrace genetics just like Cannabiogen (partner companies).strong genetics.

@HighRoller909, situation is really comical, its like a breeder father, just scores and runs :))) They contacted me, they provided millions of posters and other small merchandise with some beans with the ask to make diaries about my experience with theirs strains and they just dont care after. One plant is outdoors, one is showing some compact colas, beeing still sick, so i will get the taste in the end, many crossbreeds are made with cookies, wanted to know. I dont need any refunds or something, but they put so many doubts into me and its totally opposite what therapy room should bring me. Thank You for your time.

HighRoller909commented5 years ago
@AsNoriu, very bad experience,I'm sorry. James should have replied to you.Try Fast Buds cookies,Original Sensible's Cookies or Dinafem's. Fast Buds customer service is really good,they won't leave you answerless in a situation like that and they'll surely replace the seeds.Original Sensible is also looking for people to grow their genetics,contact them for cookies or else. Try to email RQS if you never did, sometimes it works better than chat feature i here. I get you mate.Stay away from a website called midweeksong as well.they are true scam.they have cookies too,that's why Im telling.

I know that they won't approve this diary even when its finish, but its perfect example how not to run genetics from crappy seller , even if he is big or HAD good reviews ... Hate that day when i went for free cheese ... RQS is crap and no freebies will stop me from stating true facts !!! All garden is ruined, seeds everywhere ... Two girls took space, soil, nutes, light, my love and gave me back pollinated garden, maybe it will be more, i will check everyday from now on ....

@Growingkitten, ;))) there is no deficiencies in my garden, but ... 4 Royal Cookies, which even hard to find, despite theirs two month of veg, you can see them, because of theirs waxy dark green leaves, they are overfed. 2 Royal Gorillas closest to entrance are lightly underfed. 3 Control garden girls was not toped, over grown monsters without proper light, but they are top notch with food. 2 furthest Royal Gorillas are damaged with thurst and heat ( brown, curly pistols ) , they could eat double ;))) hungry, they eat themselves on week 5 of flower, its not deficiencies, its hunger ;)

CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrowcommented5 years ago
@AsNoriu, yeah man i see what you're worried about, but these thin branches are actually the objective of the LST , these side colas are the big difference in the final weight . Every big branch has to start thin at some point, right now you can still basically control them, but they do start to get "harder" and "woodier" in the middle of flower. dont cut them off for sure , lol that's just throwing good biomass away. for lollipopping, that's again something you do in late veg not flower , right now the closest you can be to lollipopping is to remove the bottom one or two flower nodes which will produce the same effect : making the top flowers fatter. Hope this helps ! 🚀

AsNoriucommented5 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, and yes and no :)) round two for us :) I striped them hard on week 5 and 8 of veg, they are all leveled and tied up, but scrog i dont like to use, because i do defoliation rounds and with such low canopy it would be impossible to reach or see through. But, you said all options that i consider already and it means i am on right track. Thank You very much for quick and wide answer. My only worry left is not main LSTed branches but those shoots which are coming from them, they are too stretched , have like 3-4 nods but same high as mains, they are very thin, so do i need that jungle, should i lolitop them to top flower during first round of defoliation or just cut them off and concentrate on main colas? have in mind , instead of 20 main braches it will be like 60 sides, can plant make it ?

@RussianGrower, thank you for advice, but i guess every setup works diffirent, i have tried 24, 20 and 18. 18 work best for my setup, soil and food. I read a lot about how much light and darkness they requare and came up to conclution : 6 hours is minimum needed for proper rest. would say all this in russian, but hate kirilica and almost forgot your grammar, but for advice - thank you ! b.t.w. first week of veg i always do 24, this way i had best results so far ...
RussianGrower
RussianGrowercommented5 years ago
@AsNoriu, During the growing season, I would advise you to use 20 hours of light and only 4 hours of darkness. Just a few hours of additional light mode significantly affects the growth of plants. Four hours at the vegetation stage is enough for them to sleep. using a shorter light mode on vegetation you will need a little more time to grow time, the more light - the more growth
