See Purple Lemonade Review. I mixed the plants up.
Purple Lemonade was actually Strawberry Gorilla RF3. Sorry.

I will edit the smoke report as soon as the buds are cured! Two weeks ago, I had to harvest a small branch already, and despite its unfinished buds, it was extremely tasty and effective, so I'm hopeful for the final result ️️
All in all, I can just say that I've specifically fallen in love with this strain. This will be a regular guest for me.
Big shoutout to the knowledgeable and dedicated breeders! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I will determine the dry weight by multiplying the wet weight by 0.2 and edit it as soon as I have weighed the buds.

Since the buds are of course not fully cured at this point, a final result cannot be provided yet. However, the smoke is smooth and the effect is strong.

I like this strain and the smell ;-). Let's see how the effects will be...(update will come after the first test....)

The grow went okay, but the two plants turned out very differently: one gave me the lowest yield, while the other gave me the highest. One had a somewhat herbal, woody aroma and flavor, while the other was fruity and spicy. In terms of yield relative to grow time, one of them was by far the most productive plant I’ve ever grown. Still, I don’t think I’ll grow this strain again.
Since this was my first autoflower grow, I’m still a bit skeptical about their aroma and flavor they seem to leave something to be desired. That said, I’ll give autoflowers a few more tries, as VPD conditions were challenging at this time of year.

An easy strain to grow, with beautiful, resilient plants. VPD fluctuated a lot during flowering, but they handled it well and still turned out nice and resinous. The two plants have slightly different aromas, neither of which is particularly strong. However, one has a sweet grape bubblegum scent that I’ve never smelled on a plant before. The other has a fruity aroma that’s a bit more citrusy.

Very different in size and proportions but with 2 well-defined phenotypes, I hope that when making the rf3 they maintain more homogeneity, smooth and pronounced flavor, I smoked it after 20 days of curing and it has good potency.

It was my first Cbd strain, so I'm not sure if cbd grows less, but both Crack CBD plants were not growing as well as the Northern Lights in similar conditions. The smell is very different to normal weed and smells more like tea. It looks good, but is not very dense. That is partially caused by the inadequate fertilizer

Purple Lemonade – kleiner Topf, große EmotionenDiese Purple Lemonade im 5‑L‑Topf hat mich komplett überrascht.
Die ersten 50 Tage nur unter 75 W – klein, kompakt, fast schüchtern.
Dann der Boost auf 180 W… und plötzlich explodiert sie in Farbe und Duft.Der Geruch? Zitrone, Blaubeere, Kaugummi – süß, laut, klebrig, richtig Purple‑Style.
Die Buds sind klein, aber ultra‑dicht und fett vor Harz.Ertrag: 151 g nass – für die Bedingungen absolut stark.
Kleine Pflanze, großer Charakter.

It grew rather short but seems like it yielded a bit more than other outdoor autos. Once I cut it down, it immediately gave gassy notes and stank up the house for a while, currently drying then trimmed more then will be stored in cure bags. If there was one thing I could change is maybe investing in a greenhouse, bugs aren’t a problem to me but sure does suck when you can’t save trim. Buds are fine! Uhhh this strain is no joke, smoke is on the harsh side but that might be my fault lol. Let me tell you, this strain will reek!!!! I fucking love it haha, the high started cerebral but transitioned into a relaxed state of mind. Was able to stay productive!

Purple Lemonade – small pot, big emotionsThis Purple Lemonade in a 5-L pot completely surprised me. The first 50 days only under 75 W – small, compact, almost shy. Then the boost to 180 W… and suddenly it explodes in color and scent. The smell? Lemon, blueberry, bubblegum – sweet, loud, sticky, totally Purple-style. The buds are small but ultra-dense and fat with resin. Yield: 151 g wet – absolutely strong for the conditions.

DAY 93 — HARVEST DAY
Well, we made it.
Today, August 16th, is harvest day — 93 days after planting the seeds.
The plants spent the last 3 days in complete darkness in the cabinet without light.
Today they were taken out of the cabinet and cut down.
️ It took me about 4 hours to trim two plants. The work turned out to be much longer and more meticulous than I had imagined.
I rinsed the roots after cutting.
And here I, of course, managed to forget to do the most obvious thing — weigh the wet weight of the harvest. So the report will only have the final dry weight after complete drying.
Well, considering this is my first harvest, I think it’s quite logical to lose a bit of weight even before the final weighing.
Because what grower can resist trying at least a little of their first harvest during the drying process? Probably, such a person either has iron willpower or simply has no soul.
But that’s definitely not me.
93 days of observations, experiments, mistakes, adjustments, LST, FIM, SCROG, defoliation, feeding, and constant attempts to understand what exactly I’m doing.
For my first grow, I’m already very satisfied with the result.
Now the next stage begins — drying, then curing and final weighing.

I give 6/10 because out of 4 plants, 3 grew, but only one got normal size, the other 2 with same conditions stayed really small... maybe it is also causalities.
AFTER CURING AND TRYING, I WILL ADD ABOUT TASTE AND EFFECT
Just 240g fresh after light trimming from 3 plants:
larger one was 170g, == 31g dried
smaller 1 was 40g,
== 9g dried
smaller 2 was 30g, == 9g dried
TOTAL = 240g fresh (to be dried) ========== total of 49g dried with the 3 plants above
I expected less than 50g after drying and I got exactly that, as expected crossing data from previous growths: it seems that I am starting to understand something!

I did something on this grow I would never do again which is to change light schedule to 12/12 to accomodate a photoperiod I added to the tent inadvertently. I tried to make up for the lost light by increasing light intensity which she handled like it was nothing. But in the end the yield was alot less than my last LCC grow. I reckoned that was a likely outcome and now I know it was a bad idea. While it definitely impacted yield what will be interesting to see is if it impacted THC content and terp profile. Buds are in the Cannatrol to dry and cure over the next 8 days.

7/17/26 She smells good and looks pretty good another week probably wouldn't have hurt but w the issues im having currently i thought it best to harvest now. I give her an 8 because shes a bit leafy and a bit sensitive. I couldnt seem to make her totally happy during flower oh well. I think its the auto genetics mixed in i dont care for. Hopefully my other photos chunk up a bit more im slightly disappointed with the size of some of these buds i thought the under canopy light would chunk them up but not so much. Maybe i shouldve lollipoped a bit more off. Trying to refine my skills oi. I do still like some good fast buds but i am noticing a trend with leafiness. Altho my ethos chem funk seems kinda leafy too. Maybe im just a big baby lol. The buds that are chunky smell and look quite nice. 14 day dry/cure in the vcure and we shall see. Happy smoking friends ️️

Strawberry Gorilla RF3 Auto didn't develop a very pronounced purple coloration and it wasn't an especially large plant, but it made up for it with a spectacular amount of resin and a truly amazing aroma and flavor. It's a genetic variety that stands out for its final quality. Maybe in this grow I slightly overdid it with the nutrients, something I'll keep in mind to keep fine-tuning for the next harvests.
