R. Gorilla Auto organic selfwatering

Hello growmies, I'm excited to start this new journey. It is the experimental path I'm going this time. I thought I would try out this self-watering system with a couple of autos this summer. Cross your fingers for me! I'm also trying out this new kind of soil... which I already start to doubt that it's a good idea. It seems like it has the properties of coco, but I can't really tell yet, so I will have to figure it out on the way. I also have one plant on the side in a mix of 70% BioBizz lightmix soil and 30% coco. So far this last one seems to have a better start. I think I will make a separate diary for this one. I started 5 seeds in total. 3 went in the new soil and 1 in the coco mix soil. Out of the 3 only 2 seem to make it. Here's a bit about the strain from the breeders website: "Royal Gorilla Automatic is the strain that is blasting autoflowering cannabis to the top-shelf like a THC-powered rocket. The dankest US West Coast genetics have been successfully hybridised and fine-tuned to produce a genuine game-changing autoflowering strain. Royal Gorilla Automatic will take you to the next level of auto cultivation, delivering up to 20% THC buds in as few as 8 weeks. THC: 20% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 400 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 120 - 170 gr/plant Height Indoor: 70 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 140 cm Flowering time: 5 - 7 weeks Harvest Month: 8 - 10 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Gorilla x Cookies x Ruderalis Type: Sativa 30% Indica 50% Ruderalis 20% Effect: Stoned, physically and mentally Climate: Warm Flavor: Citrus, Pine, Fruity "

Uuhhh the girls are doing great! I started giving them nuts 1.02EC and they love it! I also started applying a mist with neem oil as there are some tiny creatures that I don't want on them.

This is my first time as far as I can remember that I get to overwater my plants. I thought that since this soil I have is full of coco I can treat it as coco... but I was wrong. So now I'm just waiting... to dry out, and hopping for more sun and heat, summer where are you!? Ok, I will probably fill up the water tank and put some air stones in there and see how they react to that

The girls got happy again by simply stopping to water them :D Well.. not really, I filled up the self-watering tank with 30l nutrient solution and I placed two oxygen stones in there as well. They had it like that for about a week now and they seem to enjoy it! 👌 They definitely went into flower mode these last two days. I can't wait for some more sunny days! I'm considering doing some LST on them, mainly to make some more space between them.

Lots of magic has happened this last week! The girls got big and they started showing their sex too. They've basically been untouched. I'm happy the self-watering system works so good so far! I hope they get to dink the rest of the water in the next two weeks so I can give them some new freshwater, I think there are about 20l left. And surprise surprise, the little survivor made it, and it turns out she's a mutant! :D

The girls are doing fine, they are very easy to look after. I go in and I admire them! :D They are well into bloom now and a bit less than halfway to go. I did add 20ml of BioBloom in the ca. 20l water they have in the "oxy" water tank. As you can see I'm experimenting with the picture background, I hope you like it! ;)

These girls are getting huge(I mean 108cm for the tallest one!!), they definitely love the bubble tank(self-watering system). There is not such a strong smell to them yet, but it seems to be on the way :D

The girls look great! I just gave them 2 x 10l feeding straight in the tank :D

They are fast approaching the finish line. Huge plants and the buds seem to be going that way as well.

They are very close to the finish line. I flushed them with RO water.

Not much to say. I'm much more pleased with the Fat banana auto than with this one.

Easy to grow, the self-watering system did its job as expected. I really had minimum maintenance with them. Expect them to get tall. Most of them showed some mutation, so the genes are not that stable. Big yielders.
