This should be interesting. Let's see what we can do with this one. Thanks Short Stuff. Auto Gorilla OG is possibly the most exciting strain we have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is tall, incredibly vigourous, smells delicious and has potency levels which are off the hook. We had heard a lot about Gorilla Glue #4 and managed to get our hands on a cut of this super-strong and highly resinous strain which has being causing such a buzz. We then set about crossing it with our favourite Auto OG Kush until we had Auto Gorilla OG.  The results have blown us away… The trichome count is just out of this world with resin ‘gluing up’ your scissors when you harvest her and mountains of sift being produced when you are manicuring the dried buds.  When growing Auto Gorilla OG get ready for some explosive growth from day 1. This strain is really vigourous and pushes out branches and bud sites in all directions while reaching a height of up to 1-2 metres (4 feet). Once she has finished her stretch she will start filling out and the buds will become super chunky and resinous as the trichome production goes into overdrive. The smell has classic OG funk elements with pine scents and earthy aromas but there is also some extra special fruit salad candy in the mix which makes it one of our favourite smelling strains.  The potency of Auto Gorilla OG is not to be taken lightly; she is one of the strongest strains we have ever tried, autoflower or photoperiod. Tests have shown THC levels in excess of 23%. The effect of Auto Gorilla OG is very fast acting with an instant all over body buzz and a very uplifting head-high. We have found this strain great when you need to get stuff done but also very good for the end of the day when you want to wind-down and even get to sleep. The high is long lasting and can go on for 2 or 3 hours before mellowing.  Due to the massive trichome production of Auto Gorilla OG she is the perfect strain for making hash, Rosin or extracts from so nothing is wasted. Auto Gorilla OG is part of our Boutique Line of cutting edge Autoflowering cannabis genetics.  The Boutique Line contains the most up to date autoflowering genetics which are pushing the boundaries of what can be done with autos. All the strains in the Boutique Line are big, tall, heavy -yielders and have been produced’ in-house’ by Shortstuff’s master breeders.

There isn't much more to say about this fantastic strain. Hardy, easy to clone, quick to flower and absolutely delicious in every respect. It resists well to high temperatures, "accidental" over fertilization, and recovers soon after a period of drought. Easy and fast.

Opium is missed already, she was my favourite (the other half) and she was brilliant. The outcome section of the diary will not load properly so I will mention how delicious she is right here, it seems insulting of the plant to finish off the diary in the yellow… Opium was a pleasure to grow, she was flawless, she provided me so much therapy and she was strong. The only issue was the moisture in the end but every plant in the garden eventually became victim to the bud rot and she held on as long as she needed. This beauty was not infected by any other ailment and she seemed to home many white spiders along with ladybugs, which is a good sign that she was worth being protected by nature. We can’t even imagine how she would have been if she had been planted in the cover crop bed, it is hard to picture her in a bigger or better form then she actually was. As you can see she had the wash and there wasn’t any waste, we have already pressed some of her in the dab press. Opium has a sweet fruity skunk scent and she tastes exactly the same. To say the least, we are very much enjoying her on a daily but we have been doing that since the day she sprouted. Our wet weight is an estimate due to scale issues which don’t cause us any concern. Believe me when I say, she deserved a green faced diary for her harvest log.🤷‍♀️🏻 💚✌️

at last we are in harvest week. im happy at all it was a good experience. my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are dense and frosty but very little in size! i had some mistakes and problems with this grow so i admit i wasted them . lesson from this grow : grow autos far from fems and always give them 20 hours or more light per day to get good weight in little time.

12/27 Week 8 ! Such lovely girls, prettiest plants we've grown to date. Pretty happy with the nuets where they are so leaving it at 850ish ppm Was continuing to occasionally throw in some Fish Sh!T but that will stop now,too close so gotta watch those terps. Lights out pics later 12/28 Last two weeks before the flush so began the Soul Peak PK/Finisher at minimum dose with regular feed. Adds almost nothing to ppm. 12/31 Last push , reduced Bloom nuets to 7ml and increased Peak to 13 which is a tad high but ppm remains under 800. Eventually it will be all Peak then flush. 1/2 Flush for Belle begins with Monday's watering at lights on. Last day for Bloom nuets on Belle and then three days of just the finisher. Annie will stay on the 5ml/15ml mix until her hairs curl sufficiently then same protocol.

11/20: Harvested all 3 Gorilla Cookies. It took them a week to dry. Dry weights: plant A - 121g plant B - 80g plant C - 100g Final thoughts: It was easy weed to grow, and produced a lot of dense/heavy/delicious flowers. Would def grow it again.👌 Potency: 8/10 Yield: 9/10 Flavor: 9/10 Aroma: 7/10 Bag-appeal: 10/10 Bud density: 10/10

Bienvenidos amigos, he cumplido 19 semanas de vida, 11 de floración y una como reina del jardín!! 😍... mi nombre creo que es Amnesia, soy algo olvidadiza 😵, mi apellido es Kush y desciendo de antiguos linajes Haze y Kush, soy fruto del mestizaje de plantas emigrantes y reúno en mis genes las mejores sativas de dos continentes...llámame AKU!! 😘 y si te acercas a mi... te regalaré aromas complejos e intensos, a incienso, madera y frutas ácidas que recuerdan a lima y pomelo. Esta semana he bebido 3247ml de agua de riego, un 4% menos que la semana anterior, pero es que las temperaturas bajaron mucho desde hace 4 días, todas las plantas de la carpa de cultivo nos hemos juntado para darnos calor. Ahora dedico todas mis energías en hacer crecer mis flores, y poco a poco, las hojas más grandes comienzan a cederme sus nutrientes, y al hacerlo, el bello color verde cambia y se tiñe de amarillo vetado, como las mechas en el cabello de las hembras humanas, ahora también soy, la tigresa del jardín de la alegría 🐯!!... I loved! 😍 24/04/21 La vida de reina es un lujo, todas mis compañeras me admiran y quieren ser como yo! Pero les va a resultar difícil tener unas colas tan gruesas como las mías. Hoy mi jefe me ha dicho que un día vendrá con unos amigos para que me admiren también... serán raros seguro!! 😁 Mi cultivador me ha hecho una mezcla de riego muy nutritiva, para que siga engordando mis colas y no me falte de nada: Hidrolato potásico de leonardita con fósforo (Humato PK) al 1,5%, Biol de frutas con Microorganismos Eficientes -EM (MMA, BAL, Vitaminas, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu...) al 1,5% y melaza. PH: 6.64, EC: 1.30.1400ml... muy rico!! 27/04/21 Hoy me han hecho un riego muy suave, porque he comido mucho últimamente y mi cultivador no quiere que me empache. Una mezcla sólo con agua de montaña y melaza. PH: 6.60, EC: 0,40. 1600ml. También me han añadido nutrientes y minerales sólidos en el sustrato, para que coma poco a poco cuando lo necesite... I loved! 😍 He estado emocionada todo el día con la visita de los amigos de mi jefe... hasta que han llegado! 😕 traen también a un cantante dicen que nos divertiremos, pero... todos parecen salidos de un funeral! 😲 es extraño, me miran y me dicen que me quieren, que estoy muy guapa y bla, bla, bla... pero creo que son simples saqueadores de marihuana!! 😡 Los conocía a todos, excepto a una niña repelente, siniestra y antipática que se llama Miércoles... creo que ya la odio!! 💀 El resto han estado fumando, y de vez en cuando me miraban y sonreían... me daban miedo, hay uno de ellos, muy grande, al que nadie hace caso o se ríen de él, no le invitan a fumar ni a beber, dicen que lo hacen porque no es feliz... ah que gente tan extraña!! 😟 Y comenzó la actuación, se apagaron las luces y Chet empezó a cantar, triste, todos aplaudían y chillaban... yo lloré!! 😪 "...Almost blue Almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me thats always true... always..." Hasta la próxima semana.... SALUDOS A VUESTRAS PLANTAS!! 👸🐅🌲 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================

I was wondering why she wasn’t breaking ground. So on 4/20 I started looking into the rapid rooter. She was breech! Stuck sideways in the rooter, turned her head first and she’s going in the right direction now!

💛 Nectar Drip – Week 1 Report “Where Gold Meets Light” ──────────────────────────────────────── 🌱 Week 1 – The First Breath of Life The moment the soil trembles… that’s when the story truly begins. Both seeds from the Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip collaboration have officially broken ground this week — small, fragile, perfect. The first days of life are always humbling. You’re holding a miracle between your fingers, and all you can do is create the best environment possible and let nature write its opening lines. This week was all about environmental finesse, gentle nourishment, and setting the tone for the golden journey ahead. 🌡️ Environment – Cradling the Seedlings Week 1 is the world of high humidity, soft warmth, and minimal stress. We’re keeping things in a range that allows delicate seedlings to hydrate through their leaves while their roots slowly learn their role. Relative Humidity: 80–90% Temperature: ~26°C Water pH: ~6.8 Lighting Intensity: ~300–400 PPFD (gentle, steady, supportive) The seedlings sit inside clear humidity domes, helping maintain those elevated moisture levels and creating that soft condensation you captured so beautifully in your macro shots. That glistening surface — droplets clinging to plastic like morning dew — is part of the magic of early life. Airflow this week stays intentionally minimal. Seedlings don’t need wind — they need peace, warmth, and stability while their roots establish the first bridges of life beneath the surface. Nutrition – Micro-Doses & Gentle Introduction Although seedlings can technically thrive on water alone at this stage, I prefer — as you do — to introduce a micro-touch of nutrition from day one. Not to feed them in force, but to let them taste the mineral world slowly, helping them adapt and avoid any shock once true feeding begins later. This week, your solution sits around: EC/TDS: Extremely low (~0.5–0.6) Base Nutrient: Plagron Terra Grow (micro-dose) Root Support: Plagron Power Roots, at far below bottle recommendation — just a gentle whisper, not even half-strength It’s not about feeding — it’s about familiarizing. A handshake, not a meal. As the seedlings expand, they’ll already be in sync with the mineral base, making future transitions smooth and stress-free. Substrate – Bio LightMix: The Golden Bed The girls are standing directly in Plagron Bio LightMix, a substrate made for this stage. Light, airy, full of life — the kind of soil that embraces roots rather than restraining them. Bio LightMix ensures: Excellent oxygen levels Soft nutrient baseline appropriate for early development A hospitable environment for microbial allies Quick drainage and moisture balance This combination — gentle soil + gentle EC — creates harmony between organic micro-life and mineral precision. 💡 Lighting – Guided by the Hyper Red Glow This week, the seedlings grow under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled through the Future of Grow Nova 2C Pro controller. The spectrum is warm, rich, and deeply supportive of structural development and early root signaling. At 300–400 PPFD, the light gives enough energy for growth without overwhelming the seedlings. Later in the diary, we’ll go into: Dimmer curves Spectrum shifts Controller programming Photoperiod strategy And how each of these plays into maximizing the genetics of the Nectar Drip. For now, we’re focusing on gentle, golden beginnings. 📸 Macro Moments – Art in the First Week This week, you pulled out the Sony A6000 with the full-frame Sony macro lens — and you created art. Droplets shining like liquid diamonds. Delicate cotyledons emerging like newborn wings. Condensation captured like morning mist in a miniature world. Photography here isn’t decoration — it’s documentation of life unfolding at microscopic scale. Your shots of droplets, textures, and tiny structures elevate this diary into a visual story. This is how people feel the grow. 🫧 Condensation – A Sign of Life, Not Neglect In high humidity seedling environments, condensation is a natural companion. It forms on domes, pots, even your lens — evidence of a warm, living biome working exactly as intended. We keep it in check, monitor airflow, and ensure seedlings aren’t sitting in stagnant conditions, but overall: Condensation = Life is happening. ✨ Community & Gratitude – The Golden Circle This journey is carried by the hands and hearts of many. We deeply thank: Zamnesia TICAL Plagron Future of Grow for their trust, innovation, banners, and support in making the Nectar Drip run possible. But the greatest appreciation goes to… you — the community. To the lovers, the haters, the curious, the loyal, the new arrivals, the silent observers, and the loud critics. Everyone is welcome here. Everyone brings something to the table. Critics sharpen us. Supporters fuel us. Together, we create something bigger than a grow: we create culture. Thank you all for believing in DogDoctorOfficial. Thank you for riding this golden wave with us. 🌟 Week 1 Summary – The Golden Start The Nectar Drip is alive. Both seedlings have sprouted. Environment is stable. Nutrition is gentle. Light is perfect. Soil is breathing. Photos are shining. And the story is unfolding exactly as it should. This is the week where dreams sprout. Where gold meets soil. Where potential becomes visible. And we’re only just beginning.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
