Started a Gorilla Glue Auto this week., germinated the seed at the weekend , had major top root come Monday , placed in system on Monday night and this is where we're at ,
Day 2 (in system) - little plant just just keeps stretching. Some nice leafs showing already.
Day 3 - little Gorilla looking good good so good so far , introduced minimal nutes today (50ppm)
Day 5: ppms are sitting at 120 and and the little Gorilla looks great.
Day 7: little gorilla is stacking ...
Week 3 : Little Gorilla is flexing !!
So , again I have topped this little Gorilla as this is treble the size (if not more) than my Stardawg at this stage and the little Dawg is doing great.
Plant seems to be consuming fluids also with its stretch :) .. started to tie it down but not going to mainline any of the stems , going to bush this one out.
Stay tuned......
Day 1: Little Gorilla is severely stacking ,looks great, will upload pics later , today will be spent building snow men haha
Day 2: I don't know what to say in regards to this Gorilla as it just keeps growing lol... been topped , defoliated and tied down other than the top 4 branches as I'm going to allow them to grow out.
The journey continues ......
Day 5: This Gorilla sure loves the DWC, system , reacted pretty well to the topping and defoliation , fighting against them wires now to reach for the lamp haha ..
Day 36:this Gorilla is showing no sign of pistols as yet and just keeps growing , showing similarities of a photo !!
The journey continues .....
Day 40 : So , 4/5 days ago whilst dedoliating I decided to make some clones out of what I was trimming and put them under a 12/12 light to see what happened ?to my amazement they've actually started growing roots, but not only that ,, I think it's producing pistils/hairs rather than sacks, I will upload more pic's when I get back to the garden.
The grow continues ....
This thing just doesn't stop growing so, I'm experimenting, fired in a scrog net and I'm gonna veg it out to fill a 1.5x1.5 net, 1 plant... Should be fun if it actually is a female lol...
.
.
More pics will be uploaded shortly as I'm just back from a holiday.
The journey continues.....
Plants starting to fill the scrog in nicely, I'm hoping and praying that this remains a female and doesn't hermie as it was originally purchased an auto how ever, I sexed some cutting which sprouted white hairs rather than mini sacks or nanas so, I'm remaining positive as the smell from this plant is insane, the resins coming through the stocks are sticky and have a lovely aroma also.
.
.
Approaching the end of the week and the Gorilla is filling the net nicely 👌.. Fingers crossed now that it turns out a Fem! Pray for me lol...
Flushed the res today, switched the nutes and flipped my light to 12/12. Its fair is now in the hands of the gods haha...,
Will upload some pics after their first 12 hour sleep in 9 weeks!!!... This things sure going to stretch during flower, every day each tops is stretching to the next square on the scrog.
.
.
The Gorilla is stretching and looking lovely, nice dark leaves oozing oils and aromas, love this girl/boy haha...
.
Last night of week 1 flower, plants looking awesome, all potential bud sites reaching for the light from the scrog.
Tops everywhere on this plant and I'm sure I can now start to see pistols poling through, next few day will determine if they're going become sacks or continue blossoming into flowers.
.
.
Excuse the video with the light on, just to give you a rough idea how it's looking, will upload pics later.
And it looks like we now have some flower starting to develop, fingers crossed as remember, this was originally supposed to be an auto flower lol... #PrayForTheGorilla
Day 31 and the buds are really starting to sugar up and swell now, eventually stopped stratching (I hope haha). Currie tly sits 1.6 m tall and that's it been bent in half and scrogged!!
Buds are starting to swell now however, I've found what looks to be either swollen calyxe or seed pod but, but I burst them open and was just fill of thc?
Day 39 in flower amd she is stacking well... Took all the big fan leaves off and left the sugar leaves.
Aromas are insane from this plant!!
Starting to reduce nutes in preperation for full flush next week, reduced to 450 ppm, 3/4 of my trichomes are where I want them to be so I reckon the half strength nutes with a full week of straight water will do the buds nicely. Huge amount of sugar on the leaves which will make some mean bubble hash!!.. More pics will be uploaded later. Buds are 9/10 density and the Aromas are frightening, strong AF 💪
.
.
Check the video, says it all lol... This 'Auto' has been a complete roller coaster, never thought the thing was ever going to stop growing! That being said, check her out... Buds are swollen lovely and coated in trichomes, can see purps on some of the buds. Hopefully the taste is half as good as the smell haha...
On its full flush now, buds are coated in THC and the Aromas are beautiful, petty it was as planned 'seed to smoke in 60 days'.
Run off was 108ppm on Saturday when introducing straight RO water. Will be chopping in the next 72 hours.
.
Chopped the girl down amd I must say, I'm impressed with her yield 💪 got shit loads of pocorns and lower bids which I'll be turning to hash.
As this was supposed to be an auto then I can't really comment on the timescale etc as I was pissed about that however, on the flip side, this girl grew into a monster... 7 Oz of solid dense nug which absolutely reaks of pines and gasses and a further 2.5 Oz of shrapnel for hash. Think I could've gained even more from this plant if only I knew from the beginning how long it was going to take as I had to enduce flower at week 8. Would've defoliate a lot more and trained the plant a bit differently to cover a larger space from a lower height.
Over all I am pleased with how it turned it.
@@frags, yeah mate I did the training early on so it would recover for its natural cycle (hopefully haha) to me in no rush with them anyway mate , all a learning curve to me these autos haha
@ScotlandDrGreen420, yeah dude hopefully she may be ready in 4 5 weeks. you stop with trainings right? i mean if you will not stress her more than it 4 5 weeks may enough for maturising. my last fastbuds GSC grow take 14 weeks. because i mistaken sever the main stem from third node where we topping usually. And its happened at 2. week of flowering. She never stopped growth but i dunno why its take that much long. actually she were not ready and maybe 2 weeks more could be better anyway its past 😂
@@frags,thanks mate , I can see pistols starting to show already mate so they'll be ready for flip (600w bloom) come the end of this week then , 4/5 week flower time , just hoping my optimism pays off haha
Looking good here. Gorilla Glue is a great strain. I am currently growing a Glueberry Auto (cross between Gorilla Glue and Blueberry). Anyhow, best wishes on the grow!
@ScotlandDrGreen420, Be happy to have you along for the ride. If you find the time, take a look at my diaries. How can you go wrong with a GG - BB cross? 😍😎
@Zannabis7, thank you mate , it's one of my favourite strains along with stardawg so decided to fire on in the garden to see how It turns out :) .. still yet to try glue berry , heard great new on its aromas and yield potential so will be good to see your end product
@BigDaddyK, yeah Bro but I'm convinced this ain't an auto and I sexed some cuttings from it weeks ago which both spotted white hairs which makes me think this is a regular seed Bro. The aromas from this plant is insane Bro and the resin on the stems is potent haha. As I said, put 2 cuttings in week 4/5 into a 12/12 cycle as the plant wasn't and still isn't showing any white hairs, just kept growing and then 2 cutting, both started sprouting white hairs and not little sacks/nanas which makes me think it could then possibly be a fem. Came this far with it Bro so may aswell flip the lights and change the feed and see how I get on as I think it would just keep filling my tent if left haha
glad to see you got good results eventually! went back to photos myself.
i got a 7 month old seedsman auto white widow that im afraid is re-vegging, thing is ridic huge needs a bigger pot and to be put outside or something.
LED spectrum probably.
I have had multiple crops, every auto crop I've had, take 4-6 months. And almost all of them didn't finish as close together as photos, more like weeks apart.
When I did my first crop of Seedsman WW Auto: two went in 16 weeks, two more 2 weeks after that, and the other two a month later. I popped two more, one took 5 months and this is the other one.
I topped the first six, which i harvested... but even then most of them finished around the time frame of all the other autos. This one is LST only, and gets real bushy, the pruning needed may be stunting it.
Frankly since autos which handle all manner of manipulation exist, AND it just sat there refusing to flower without us even touching it for months... it's hard to say. But I'm not particularly happy.
The worst part is it finally started flowering like 2 weeks before my 5 gallon pots get here and its ridiculously huge. It could really have used that 5 gallon pot.
I thought it was my mistake that my fastbuds weren’t (fast). Seems to be common that either they auto and yield light or you veg for 8-9weeks and realize she forgot to flower and then you get a monster. Explains the 50-300g yield they give.
@ScotlandDrGreen420, I refuse to do auto anymore. I have some beans but they’re going to get dusty. Hard to even give them away. No one in the Wolfpack will take them. Maybe I’ll do one those Instagram contests. 👍
@Tazard, far from fast... Would love to see which plants were 'seed to smoke in 60 days' as that would mean these plants veg'd then flowered all in just 46 days as you need atleast 14 days for drying and curing.... Sticking to what I know and not being louvred in by magical marketing lol... Photoperiod are where its at when comparing time, investment and yield... This plant would've never stopped growing if I didn't enduced the flowering stage... Really don't know what happened, whether its down to genetics or maybe a rouge reg/fem which managed to creep through, either way, wasn't an auto plant. On a positive note, got a great yield which I think could've been greater, only if I knew what I was playing with. This plant looks, smells and tastes identical to GG4
Congratulations man that was one hell of a harvest them extra weeks made a big difference to your yield I would be happy with the time scale with the harvest you have had very nice
@biggreens420, yeah Bro the outcome was good, could've been better if I knew I was playing with a photoperiod lol... No chance this was an auto, been growing for years in coco, came to autos and gave them an extra 20 days window but nope, 19 weeks 😂.... Photos all by he way from me from now on Bro
@Wifi_OG, totally agree mate, thing would've became a tree if I didn't flip the lights as it just kept growing after 8 weeks lol... Paid off in the long run so far, just need a good dry and cure and we should be all good... Longest plant I've ever grown in my life lol...
Been a mad one this with having to flip to 12/12 getting nice and frosty now they just look like swollen glands to me not seeds looking forward to seeing what u get of this one
@biggreens420,defo been a roller-coaster ride this Bro haha... Yeah I was thinking that, burst them open amd were just full of sticky thc... The buds are starting to swell lovely man...
@AutoEra420, I agree with what your saying in regards to the leaf curling, just experienced a heat wave in the UK so the garden go a bit hot for 3 days however, was at the end of the flowering stage so no main damage or stress was caused, all my lower leaves are now yellowing off.
@ScotlandDrGreen420, oh yeah didn't noticed , either ways man , from my experience and my basic knowledge , flushing should affect lower leaves first and not by sharping the edges , curving them and burning the tips ; but by taking away the color since the plant is " eating " the nutrients from their leaves; hope that helps , but I might be wrong since I have never had any experience with hydro grow and could be different maybe.
any ways , hope your grow goes the best way possible 😬
@AutoEra420, clearly not read any of the diary before commenting lol....
1. Its hydro so no soil.
2. They're dying off as I'm inducing flush so are trying to get as much nutes and light as possible.
3. My roots are bright white...
But yeah, thanks for the support anyway and popping by 👍
