Well here we go into Week Eight and the Fifth and final week of flower! ππ With nine weeks of initial growth behind them now, the FastBuds Gorilla Cookies Auto's are finishing up, fading and have some of the juiciest buds you'll ever get!.
Thank you for following along this journey with me. Growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! ππ
~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano.
~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower
~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
4/19- Week FOUR of flower's here and man-o-man is these girls are looking SWEET!
I watered them with 0.50g of dechlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. to flush any nutrients left in the medium.
Now, these girl's are basically finished and all I'm doing is making sure they're watered, turn their pots daily and check trichomes!...that's it, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
~πHAPPY 420 EVERYONE!!!π~ Have a happy and lifted day!...and don't forget to 'pay it forward' ππ
4/20- The Gorilla Cookies ladies are rolling and continue to stack their flowers forming some beautiful cola's and they have an intoxicating sweet aroma coming off them!
I checked their trichomes today and made the decision to put them in the dark for 72hrs, starting tonight when the lights go out.
I gave them their last drink of straight dechlorinated water with 1 tbsp/g of Fox Farms Sledgehammer added to finish off their flush.
They will be ready to hang on the 24th so stay tuned for some 'pre-hanging' pictures which will show what 3 days in the dark can do for your trichome production!
4-25- Well, both Gorilla Cookies were hung yesterday and when I got them out of the dark they'd been in for 3 days they were GLISTENING with trichomes! The Dry Room is on point with temperature at 63 deg. and RH @ 58% and they should be ready to trim in 7-10 days!
Stay tuned for the final weigh in results and strain review that will be upcoming! π
~Thank you so much for following along with me! This has been one of the most enjoyable runs I've had in awhile and I'm blown away by the results produced by the genetics from my friends at FastBuds and from the HLG 225 LED, which I can't say enough good things about this little light with HUGE output and phenomenal results... Grow Strong! ππ~
@Antony_mow, After a week in the jars, I pressed some of the flower which had a 22-24% return of gorgeous rosin. I use the 'sugar trim' for bubble hash and/or the sift screens. π€ͺβ€οΈ
