It's a few weeks early for me to be starting a new lady, but screw it! lol. I'm going to mess up my rotation because I want to participate in the Fast Buds video contest. My wife and I had a blast making a video for the Christmas contest, I just had to get started with this fine strain right away!
There are 75 days til the contest closes, I'm hoping that's enough time. looks promising based on the averages of some of the diaries I looked at... it wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't ready in time but I had to take a crack at it.
I will update more over the next couple days as she pops and I get her in some coco. 👿
Not really much to report here lol... 8 days in and all seems well. Started on a 1/4 dose of nutrients this week and she seems to be adjusting just fine, will up it to 1/2 strength nutes this week.
Day 15 and everything is progressing nicely. I have gradually ramped up the nutrients to 3/4 strength and will go to full strength this week. Seems to be out of that slow seedling stage and starting to look better every day.
I'm happy with the growth over the last week, She is filling in nicely and looking healthy. Bumped her up to full strength nutrients this feeding and all is well.
I think it's safe to say the stretch is on for this one, she has grown 9" in the last seven days and is filling in nicely. Everything seems lush and healthy. Switched her over to bloom nutes this week and seems to be responding well.
I recently added a Exhale Co2 bag to my tent. My Gorilla Glue and Alien vs Triangle will be the first two plants to completely flower with the Co2 bag, so we'll see if it does what it's supposed to, helping me break my 2.5oz average per plant.
Seeing some nice growth from the Gorilla Glue this week, 9" overall growth and she is filling in nicely. There are bud sites popping up everywhere! Excited to see what the next few weeks bring.
I'm happy with the progress over the last week, I think it's pretty much as tall as she'll get and bud production is well under way. The buds are more developed on this girl than my Alien vs Triangle that is six days older. It's gonna be a stout, smelly lady! I think I've burnt a little bit of her canopy, Had her a little to close to the light for my babies.
My Gorilla Glue has had some nice progress over the last week. Hasn't grown an inch in height, but it is getting more dense by the day. The smell of piney citrus is getting stronger too. She seems to have bounced back from the bit of light burn she took a couple weeks ago.
I love the look of this plant, short and stout... she's all business! Praying to the grow gods that she keeps swelling and packing on the bud meat.
Not too much to report over the last week. The buds are fattening up nicely, got a nice carpet of trich's and she smells amazing. Starting to see some brown pistils, but the majority of trich's are barely milky yet, let alone amber. Still got a little ways to go by the looks of it, but she is growing into a beautiful lady!
Day 60 Update...
Looking like it's about time to start the flush on this one, roughly 60% brown pistils and milky trichomes with the odd amber one starting to show. She'll come down next week for sure.
Sooo close now! I gave her a good flush earlier in the week, got the EC levels in the coco down to .4, a point above tap water here. Lots of milky trichs and starting to see some amber, mostly on the sugar leaf but a bit here and there on there buds too... close enough for this guy!
The smell coming off this girl is amazing, I cannot wait to smoke some of this!
Since it's a fake holiday here tomorrow with no work, and this girl is pretty much ready, think I'll spend my day taking pics and vids for her cameo appearance in the Mega Haul contest.
Really happy with my first FastBuds experience! This girl was a joy to grow, very low maintenance. The only issue through her grow was taking a little light bleaching to part of her canopy, but that was completely my fault.
She finished at a beefy 27" with large main cola and some nice size colas in the upper canopy. It is sticky! I see how she got her name... a nice blanket of trichomes and that fantastic pine scent!
A must have for any auto aficionado. Dank and delicious!
Overall a great growing experience with FastBuds Gorilla Glue Auto from start to finish. She went 65 days and hit 27". Lots of big beefy colas. She always took to changes in nutes/environment well. End result is a bunch of smelly, sticky goodness. 380.8g wet weight.
I'll update more once she's had a chance to dry... check back soon for dry weight and smoke report.
Harvest Update:
Ended up losing a lot more during my dry time than expected. Just barely hit two ounces of bud and about 17g of trim and popcorn. My wet weight did include a lot of stem whereas my dry weight reflects trimmed bag ready bud. But still... that's a huge difference! Still very happy with the results! The buds smell amazing, hints of pine and citrus in the smoke. Gonna let her cure up a bit and we'll be off to the races.
I will definitely be popping another one of these off in the near future.
Thank you @@frags, yeah. it's always hard to tell what exactly is helping or not when you change many things at once. I have confidence it will work to some degree, maybe not 30% bigger yields like they claim but we'll see.
@Squirrel_Master, i had some interest but im really new in grow things and my last grows was with 250w hps and mh. Now im using 600w and with better conditions. i added some exhale co2 bags too but i really cant realize because everything is new for me. But yes i had better results with all this new euipmennts include co2 bag😅 but you can verify it better in my oppinion. i hav interest about the result and differency and im following man! 🙏 Happy Grows and best of luck!
Thanks @BudKingsGrow, Oh I'm pretty happy with this girl! She is gonna be a short, stout bush of goodness. Buds are off to a nice start, noticeable swell day to day. Nice stench starting to develop.
