So the awesome people over at sweet seeds sent me these seeds to test out. So far this one is doing well . I plan on doing a scrog this time around. Stay tuned.
All is well so far . Its really got kind of a unique leaf shape I think it resembles a mint plant sort of. Which is a coincidence that the pheno of girls scout cookies they used to cross with gorilla glue was actually called thin mint go figure lol. I plan on topping at the end of the week maybe sooner depending on how much it grows.
Well i topped her a couple of days ago and as soon as she starts growing again ( as soon as she is healed) im waiting a day or two then topping these 4 branches making 8. Its similar to mainling i suppose just with some slight variations .
She took quite a while to bounce back from being topped but she seems to be growing again . I've done some light suoer cropping not really crimping the branches but just bending them since they aren't very established yet and I feel like this will stimulate growth but crimping would have stunted it.
Well first off ide like to apologize to sweet seeds for not keeping these diaries updated for the last 2 months. My dad just died in a motorcycle accident and between the funeral arrangements, lawyers, siblings I don't like(lol),and just all around depression I've been dealing with. I kind of stopped putting as much attention towards my hobbies. But as you can see this beautiful version of gorilla cookies (gorilla girl) by sweet seeds is definitely one of those strains that you would definitely want to keep a mother plant of because its just all around an excellent plant to grow. I am going for my personal record with this plant because the last gorilla cookies strain i did I was disappointed that I didn't grow a monster because I liked the smoke so much which is a mistake I won't be making this time. I already know that it will easily break my record because its already far bigger than anything I've harvested and I haven't even flipped it to flower yet . Omg imagine this big beauty after it 2 week stretch. Im actually planning to start the 12-12 light cycle in the morning so stay tuned and watch this girl triple in size over the next couple weeks. Till next time. Peace
She is blowing up she won't have a any problems filling out the 4x4 tent .I think I'm going to give her some supplemental light pretty soon. I'll probably go with a maxsisun pb 2000 that I already have which would increase the current wattage of 410w to 610w actual watts. I also started removing all the little stuff that won't ever become a big fat top. I do this over the course of the first 2-3 weeks . I try to be done cutting just before its done with its 2 week stretch do i I can take advantage of the accelerated growth to heal it up for the most part before it starts packing on buds. My philosophy while I'm "lollipopping " is that if its not already something then it'll never be. I like to focus as much of the accelerated growth towards my mains I already have instead of trying to gain a bunch of mediocre at best bud sites like a lot of people do. Just because the top of the branch made it to the light does not mean it will be a kola.
It needs some girth to the branch supplying it the nutrients it needs to become a nice healthy bud. If that makes sense. Peace guys and be sure and follow along with this ones progress I promise it'll be worth it just to see this strain show just how beastly it can be. Its truly my favorite strain . It's high yielding , excellent for pressing
top shelf rosin, and second to none (in my opinion) in regards of potency.
Well she's enormous . . . Im loving the vitality and strength of this strain . It is a true gorilla in every way. Did you see the branches ? Nough said lol oh and there's signs of little budlets popping up everywhere too . Can't wait till harvest.
Well she has got some stink to her now and I mean that in the best way possible. The budgets are starting to give a preview of what they will become over the next 30 days . Im on a highway heading out of town for work as I type and just remembered I didn't take pics this week but don't worry ill have my girlfriend take some and send them to me so I can add them later this evening . My bad lol
She's a blinger for sure . A true Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS! That's why I absolutely love these genetics ! Two absolute titans for parents has brought to existence pretty much exactly what you would expect . The legendary resin production of gg and the terpy goodness gsc. I've never had what you call a bad pheno growing any version of gorilla cookies but this one does stand out from the pack . Of course this is the only one I've grown to these proportions as well lol. I know one thing im definitely holding on to this pheno for a while and have plenty of clones of her biting at the bit to get their spot in the flower area. Till next week ✌️
The trichomes have really piled on and look like they aren't slowing down any time soon. The smell is super strong like you'd expect from a strain like this one. The terp profile is pungent yet sweet/ fruity . Truly a delight to the senses. The buds are still coming along they still have alot to go but everyday it gets obviously closer to the fatties they can and will be.
She smells out of this world and its to the stage now where I have to remind myself everyday that its still has at least 2 and a half to 3 weeks to go. But dam Is ot hard to wait sometimes (no matter how many harvest I get under my belt it doesn't get easier lol) but well worth it . I did an experiment once to show how much harvesting early affects yield/quality. I did one the right way and 2 others . 1 I harvested 1 week early and the other I harvested 2 weeks early. The buds on all 3 were pretty close in size (at least they seemed that way on the plant) but then once trimming happened the true story came out. The 1 week one was about a half once less than the good one but it suffered in the taste department and and the other one was a whopping 2 and half ounces less. Crazy right . And if they would have been as large as this plant the difference would have been far more significant . Till next week ,peace ✌️.
I'm officially flushing her now the buds aren't going to gain much more in size, its simply waiting for that o so delicious resin to become o so delicious lol. It should go at least one more week (at least) but am I that disciplined? Prolly not! Hehe I sure am going to try but I also have to keep in mind that if I want any if this smoke for Christmas I better at least cut some ready tops down in a week so I can at least have them some what dry on Christmas day its to bad I didn't switch to flower a couple weeks sooner... but enough of me debating with myself . Till next week guys.
I LOVE THIS STRAIN!! It’s really an all arounder in aspects of growth rate its ability to thrive with super cropping and topping ALOT. The buds tend to be individual dense nuggets that go all the way down the stems making some really cool long branches of buds that on average were a foot long or more. The potency is very strong a bed time strain for sure lol not for the newbie. I made some dry ice hash with the trim and it was so sticky I was able to form solid compact pucks without any form of heat , its like playdough and very blonde. I smoked some a little bit ago and its very tasty and slam full of terps.
This harvest was really sweet and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was hoping to break a pound but oh well better luck next time. The whole house just reeks 👌. Its for sure obvious we have harvested here , the nose doesn't lie. There will be a whole bunch more of the dry ice hash as well since I still have an abundance of sugar leaves in the freezer just waiting.
Congratulations! 👏
A great harvest, with a super delicious appearance. 😍
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 10 out of 10!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

Oh I absolutely love the harvest I just took an update picture of a bud and it is so coated in trichomes that it literally looks like frost crystals over the entire surface@Sweet_Seeds,
No thank you very much for the opportunity to get my hands on a keeper strain, this pheno ive got here is just ridiculous and ill be holding on to it for a long time.I can't wait to get my hands on a couple of strais from next years catalog I'm sure they will be top notch too.@Sweet_Seeds,
Don't worry, in life there are situations that get out of hand and we have to let go of everything else.
But remember that life goes on, those of us who are still here have to go on. It is the law of life.
My condolences for your father. Life goes on, and one should not get caught up in sadness. 💪
Cheer up, in a few months you will be enjoying a very sweet harvest :)
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds,thank you for understanding and your kind words. Im loving your version of gorilla cookies its a very strong resilient plant with LOTS of thick healthy mains. And I think you are definitely right about the very sweet harvest . I've grown other gorilla cookies strains before and even did a diary on the original sensible one but I only vegged it for 5 weeks and loved the results but ran out quickly lol which is the reason I let this one go so long. I just started 12 hours of light yesterday she's going to be a monster in 2 weeks lol.
@Sweet_Seeds,thanks guys and I know I keep saying this but I simply love this strain. It's an all out monster of a grower and the quality is going to be top notch 👌. Like you said frosted buds.
Your welcome and I'm sure I will enjoy this one a lot,I have had nothing but good things to say about every strain I've done that has gorilla some where in the title. And I'm sure this one will be no exception. @Sweet_Seeds,
@growtenthobo, If you go to dudegrows.com they have weekly door prizes for seeds they do live shows on YouTube and on Fridays they have the claw machine with some amazing prizes that you can enter to win( seeds,hlg lights,rosinbomb etc.) Its so fun to watch and its an awesome community. I think you would really enjoy it.
@QuantumSkies,no but I watch Kyle kushman and Mr. Cannuk sometimes . But honestly I just look all over the net for as much info as I can find. When I get into a hobby I'm one of those people who have to know everything about it so I'm constantly reading articles or talking for hours about it one of grower buddies. I feel like no matter who your talking to there is something you can learn from them that you didn't already know. If I don't learn something new everyday then I'm not trying lol.
Hi! Nice choice of strain, im currently growing the same strain in organic living soil to get maximum taste out of my flower. What do you think of growing this strain so far? Has it been without problems or have you encountered some issues with the strain in particular?
Anyway, have a great day and happy growing. 😎 🌱
