DenDv1d I popped the seed in wet paper towel and kept that at around 20°C for 2 days and then tail down into the soil about 5mm deep. Just going into week 2 now, Top 10 cm is seedling soil, then 15 cm of DIY mix soil with perlite. That way I don't have to transplant this autoflower. I put the plant in a corner so I have plenty of room to LST later on.

DenDv1d This Gorilla is going down (LST) today, given the limited space in my stealth grow cabinet ,I want to start getting some more light and growth in the side branches.
Plan is to keep this plant as compact as 30 cm's soil to top of buds. You may notice some damage to the bottom leaves...trips, had them, got rid of them with BAC vitality plus.
As I'm doing both inside and outside grows...bugs sometimes find their way inside. As the outdoor season starts, I'm going to start using BAC preventative on my grows the next months.
I'm using BioBizz Fix mix during veg and will replace that with Biobizz Grow soon as I start seeing buds, I'm sticking with week 2 of the Biobizz feeding schedule as long as I don't see any sign of flowers. Not lowering PH as I found that's not necessary with BioBizz.

DenDv1d I try to keep defoliating autos to a minimum, LST has minimal impact on the plant. I'm growing in a small confined indoor space so I want to keep te plant as low as possible and get as much light as possible of my cheap 300W amazon led panel, to all the levels of this Gorilla. By the looks of it, I'll end up with at least 6-8 main same size main colas rather than 1 main cola with inferior sidebranche buds. I'm not following the "recommended" Biobizz feeding schedule yet: Week 4 says you need to add TopMax and Bloom but..no signs of flowering yet so while I am moving on to week 4 in the feeding schedule, I'm leaving out the flowering boosters until I see decent pistils. Also...I will only start using Biobizz Grow in the flowering phase as well. BioBizz Fishmix is what I'm using in veg stage as I see much better results in plant health and growth with it. Never mix Grow and Fish as I found that to be overkill, BioBizz Grow is better in flowering stage as it provides the much needed sugars which Fish doesn't.

DenDv1d First signs of flowering, a bit more LST is getting it in a nice fishbone shape, pushing big leaves under newer smaller leaves and replacing Biobizz Fish with Grow now.
DenDv1d Took my 7week auto’s outside to make space in my tent for my photo’s to go on 12/12. Weather next 7 days should be good enough for this Gorilla to be happy.

Biobizz week 8 30 mll
DenDv1d Removed some more leaves, progress is a bit slower due to fewer lighthours outside compared to indoors but still coming along nicely. Healthy enough to ripen a couple weeks more if needed. Topped the soil a bit with Biobizz Mega Worm as well today.

DenDv1d I’m going to start flushing this gorilla, almost all trichomes are milky and I want enough flush before they start leaning towards amber. Buds will probably ripen a bit more this last week as well. It's nice and crisp springweather, perfect to add some more frosting to those budstickles.
@Dirtydraggel, Hey man not sure where you're from but I've just ordered a 5pk. Don't know if I'm allowed to advertise here neither as I've only been here a few days. I'm UK.
@stone, hey, nothing professional, I have several setups going with a mix of full spectrum cheap 300w panels from Amazon and simple E27 high output LED bulbs from a regular DIY store. Cool white for veg, warm white for you know. My “most expensive” aparatus is my “PAR” meter, if a 10$bulb gives me 2000-5000nm at 15cm distance, I can grow a decent 40g/plant with it.
(Simple cfl for early veg)
