Resilience: Extremely good. Took transplanting like an absolute champ & survived a day and a half with a heavy black 40-gallon trashbag over her head. No herming or rampant leaf yellowing like the last 2 times. She reacted worse to plain water than any of my weirdo feedings but ultimately seemed very hardy & resistant. // Final Height: 33 inches. // Notes for Next Time: I'd only do a couple things differently in the future: 1.) Extend nitrogen feeding through pre-flowering and/or start it a little earlier during veg to prevent yellowing leaves & the need for more N later in flowering. Felt like I gave N a little bit late, delaying flower bulking & reducing overall aroma/trichomes. But it had to be done to stop the yellowing leaves. I'd assumed the soil that causes "nitrogen burn" (lol) in cannabis plants would supply all her N needs. I was wrong. // 2.) Avoid defoliating (which I didn't do this time anyway) so plant would have enough extra leaves to lose safely if they start yellowing/dying. Trimming a couple scraggly fans as needed is fine for me but not taking a shit-ton at once as a training technique. // 3.) That said, I would train her somehow (LST, etc) to keep height down, as a 33" plant was NOT practical at certain times. Ideally, I'd like to find an LED grow bulb (not a board) and maybe experiment with some nutes. I'd want a bulb that screws into my splitter and/or current fixture, otherwise I wouldn't even fuck with LEDs & would just add 1-2 more CFLs for the sake of convenience & saving $$$. Stick with what ya know. // I'd absolutely use the Miracle Gro soil again before some specialty brand like Black Gold (used for previous 2 grows) or Fox Farms and would transplant her again if not feeding bottle nutes. My rationale for that was: more/new soil = more nutrients after using up everything in the Solo cup. I would use the pH strips liberally again, as I suspect that's where I fucked up with my past grows re: the yellowing (nute lockout). // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HARVEST Cut the top cola down in 3 separate rounds 12 hours apart. There were 3 "pieces" of that, then I left the bottom of the plant to continue growing, which it did until the Friday after next (the 14th, aka 2 weeks later). I wet-trimmed because it's highly humid here and I don't want mold. The rest of the plant was harvested 14 days later & also wet-trimmed. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DRYING Hybrid refrigerator ("Lotus" dry) + regular hanging in closet: I didn't buy a special fridge for this purpose nor was mine spotless, but it was mostly devoid of food & smelled decent. Lots of baking soda in bowls & sprinkled around to reduce moisture & absorb bad smells. The bud box went on a bottom shelf & was kept shut by the shelf directly above it, and when I took it out it was open in my dark closet with 2 fans moving air. // I started by hanging the buds in my closet for the first 12 hours after harvest to give them a jumpstart on drying, then hung them in the box by taping the stems to pipecleaners. I took the box of buds out for 15 mins twice daily at first, then reduced it down to 10 minutes once daily. I did this because there's no real air circulation in the closed fridge. But they were drying EXTREMELY slow so on Day 10 I started an 18/6 schedule: 18 hours in the fridge and 6 out while lights were off for my remaining plant. I wiped the inside & outside of the cardboard box with isopropyl alcohol & peroxide multiple times to help prevent fungal growth/bacteria. So they were mostly fridge-dried (80%) but also closet dried some too. // I'd also use this drying method again because it just makes sense. The fridge gets both darker & colder than I can make my living space. Buds lost all smell almost instantly after going in the fridge but were full of pungent fruity terps when broken up & smoked. And they retained nearly all their original vibrant color! They DEF kept more of the good stuff than my previous closet dried buds. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CURING Buds were cured in sealed glass Mason jars at room temperature & stored in a dark cubby. I opened them to "burp" for 30 minutes 2x a day in Week 1 and am going to reduce that to 1x per day in Week 2, then 20 minutes daily in Week 3 and beyond. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FINAL YIELD: Unknown at the moment as the bottom half of the plant is still drying, but the top half weighed more than either of my previous harvests at 5.6 grams. Will update!

Happy with Lemon Cherry Cookies. It was easy to grow outdoors. Also produced some nice purple buds. Smoke report: It had a nice smooth smoke with the flavor of vanilla cake/cookie . She also had a hint of citrus.

Naja was soll ich sagen. Hab wohl ein beschissenen Phänotyp erwischt. Also der Duft sehr geil aber die bud Struktur schrecklich, lange sehr sehr dünne und luftige Buds. Die anderen Pflanzen aus der selben Samen Packung sind outdor echt hübsch geworden Muss sagen hab mit Fast Buds bis auf dieses eine mal nie Probleme gehabt. Ich schätze mal sowas kann vorkommen Zum ernte Gewicht kann ich nichts sagen weil ich die Pflanze nem Kollegen gegeben hab. Aber sauber getrimmt kommt sie höchstwahrscheinlich nicht an die 5 g hin. Ich hatte aber dennoch sehr viel Spaß beim growen der Pflanze also war das ganze nicht umsonst

Vorab-Ergebnis – Gorilla Zkittlez (Fast Buds) – 16 Wochen Outdoor-Staffel Start bis Ziel: Von der kleinen Lady im Topf bis zur echten Outdoor-Queen – 16 Wochen Drama, Sonne, Regen und ein Hauch Nervenkitzel. ️ Highlights: Starker Wuchs, stabile Blüten, null Bock auf Schwäche. Jede Woche hatte ihren eigenen Vibe. Lowlight: Klar, paar gelbe Blätter am Ende – aber hey, das gehört zum großen Finale. Endresultat: Fette, dichte Buds mit diesem “smell like trouble but taste like heaven“-Aroma. Sticky, loud und einfach nur Premium. ️ Next Steps: Jetzt heißt es ernten, trocknen, curen – und dann kommt der wahre Test: der erste Zug . Fazit: Gorilla Zkittlez = Champion meines Outdoor-Sommers. Die Staffel war wild, lustig und mega lehrreich – und das Endprodukt spricht für sich . Snapshot – Woche 16 Frostiger geht’s kaum – die Buds sind komplett überzogen mit Trichomen, fast wie gezuckert. Die roten Härchen poppen raus und geben der Blüte schon diesen „erntebereit“-Look. Definitiv ein Beweis, dass Gorilla Zkittlez draußen richtig Gas gibt – fette Blüten, sticky ohne Ende und optisch ein echtes Highlight. --------------------------- Preliminary Result – Gorilla Zkittlez (Fast Buds) – 16 Weeks Outdoor Season From Seed to Queen: Started small, ended as the real outdoor boss after 16 weeks of sun, rain, and a touch of suspense. ️ Highlights: Solid growth, chunky flowers, zero weakness shown. Every week had its own vibe. Lowlight: A few yellow leaves in the last stretch – but hey, that’s just part of the finale. End Result: Fat, dense buds with that “smells like trouble, tastes like heaven” kind of aroma. Sticky, loud, and top shelf. ️ Next Steps: Harvest, dry, cure – and then the real test begins: that first puff . Overall: Gorilla Zkittlez = undisputed champion of my outdoor summer. Crazy, fun, and super rewarding season – with a result that speaks for itself . Snapshot – Week 16 Frost level max – the buds are coated in trichomes, looking like they’ve been dusted with sugar. The red hairs are popping out, giving that unmistakable “harvest-ready” look. A clear sign that Gorilla Zkittlez crushed it outdoors – chunky buds, super sticky, and a straight-up visual highlight.

The day finaly come, the harvest day!!! 95g wet buds, some with branches so i guess 92g maybe for only my Latifa, and 10g of some leafs with some tricomes, that going to be inside my future space coockies, and after my triming i made a “charas” with the tricomes at the tip of my finger, man thats was sooo good, i finally could smoke something made by my self, i was expecting more yield but this is my first time cultivating, any thing is better then nothing, i will let the dry in my grow, so my next run will need to wait, my improvised grow is curious because my LED has come with a isue, he gaves shock, i tried to replace him but the company refuses to made a trade of the product, so Amazon gaves my money back e let me stay with the product, so i want to thanks YXO for sponsoring my cultives, so back to Latifa development, Afghan Kush Auto is a very good strain, relly resilient e very fragant, her smeel reminds of a very strong lemon with some other smell that i condnt indentify but is soo delicious, her branches is more like a very sweet lemon, i grow it in a organic soil but some waters i put little of salt, i think that woundt be more than 5ml counting all the waters, i will back for tell how many grams dried, and i want to thanks my friends mister W e mister G for helping me with some tips.
