Welcome to my Gorilla Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto !!!!!!!!!HARVESTED!!!!!!!!!!HARVESTED!!!!!!!!!! Rating will be done once dried + 1 wk cure. Then vaped, smoked and put back in the jar for 4-8 more weeks. (SADLY, I DELETED THE PICS LAST NIGHT. AFTER UPLOADING TO A NEW 3 WK, WK, AND PAUSED IT. CAME BACK LATR AND STARTED UPDATE ON ANOTHER, WIPING AWAY 3 WKS OF PICS...GRRRRRR Roughly 105-110 days. 55-60 Days in flower. WEEKS 13-14-15 Days was harvested. Noticed a lot of dead leafs in-between the buds. Pult it back to start pulling it out. And was covered in fuzz. The Pure Zym had started degrading the dead leafs that she threw off last wk when she turned yellow. And, the smell she look of rot. So, had to go thru everything. In total 3 of the biggest buds had to be stripped, opened and cut out the rot. (Thankfully I know what to look for) so, 98-99% of it was fine. Just 3 big ass buds,,(semi colas) so so dense. And yeah. I was running her in co2 with 70+ RH with temps pushing 30c but, even in her last week of fattening she took to co2 so a bat outta hell. HARVESTED METHODS Pult and was checking her trichomes. 90-95% cloudy. And was pulling dead leafs and noticed fuzz. Harvested ASAP. She was already on water for a wk. So I stripped, checked, cleaned out the dead leaves, and de-stemed and hung on my 8 tier net Drier. Was amazed when going through her bud, removing dead leaf after dead leaf from within the buds,( BTW, was very satisfying. Was like I was 15 again in wood class pulling wood glue from my hand while the teacher driveled on. 'Memories) anyways, I digress. So, she's hung, far from ideal temperature. 21.5-19c. So, she'll dry fast. Thankfully she was heavily fed on water all week. I did flush the soil to check the ppm was 290 bit higher than I'd like. Its why I soft flush for 10-14 days. But, I panicked. And stripped her. Delighted I lost very little. Video above to what I cut out, and some of the buds. So dense Lights SP/FC 3000 SP 3000 was used from start to 2/3rds thru fattening phase. Then the FC 3000 was used with co2. Buds exploded. THANKS TO PURE INSTINTO FOR THEIR SEEDS TO TEST. And also big thanks to mars-hydro for allowing me to test their lights. Much appreciated to all who viewed, liked &/R commented, look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Here's some pictures of late week 1 into week 2. They are still all in their solo cups. In the future, we'll try to label them in the soil so the pictures will show which seed is which. For now, the names are written on the sides of each cup - just can't see that from the pics. TOTAL = 6 cups, all different seeds. Here's the list of seeds that have remained since we started: - Rubber Match by Secret Society Seed Co (regular seed)* x1 (down from 2) status: first seed just didn't pop and never started growing. 2nd seed is doing fine. :) - Something Good by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Acapulco Gold by Barney's Farm (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Purple Lemonade by FastBuds (Auto) x1 status: doing fine. - Skywalker by NASC (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - ADDED: Glue Sniffer by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: started 1x Glue Sniffer, and it is doing fine. (germination week 1 in paper towel) BONUS!!! We found some more NASC freebies!! We have 3x of the Blueberry Cupcake x MAC1 by Humboldt pheno and Girl Scout Cookies (feminized) by NASC. So, we might start one of those if space permits. To conclude week1, the current sprouts are growing in their cups. They are all looking comfortable and are reaching for the wonderful, southern sunlight. We're looking forward to the next weeks of vegetation and eventually transferring them into larger pots in a few more weeks time - all while we wait for some more warmer days ahead. One thing we noticed is that they seem to do much of their growing overnight! But maybe it's because we aren't looking at them as much LOL

This week went well. They are all stretching out nicely, except for alien berries which is looking a little runtish. Pink kush did not like the nitrogen and she made it clear to me with some claws up top. She also began to really prefiere so next feed will be with bloom mutes for her. The other ladies still seem to be in veg despite showing sex already. Defoliating any large leaves covering lower growth tips.

It's been a wonderful week and ladies are transforming into mature monsters. They're all heavy drinkers and require approximately 2 liter of water per day which is a lot! The smell is getting intense and two plants are not far away to harvest. Wish you all a nice weekend and see you soon!😋

More than a day in the drying tent and I'll give you the report on the weight, the taste and the effects! ‐----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINAL WEIGHT : 153,5 g Effect : very pleasant. I have the impression of being in a cotton field. Taste : cream berries 🍓🍓🍓🍓 Peace to all ✌️🏽✌️🏾✌️✌️🏿✌️🏻✌️🏼 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✔️Pheno 1 : the appearance of the flower is much more purple than the other two phenotypes. Her effect is much more sativa as well. ✔️Pheno 2 : The strawberry taste is much more pronounced. In this phenotype, there is a not at all unpleasant mint aftertaste !! ✔️Pheno 3 : the effect is felt very quickly. In a few seconds, you find yourself in a state of joy. It's very nice !!!!

Defoliated 3 of the 4 2x Royal Critical and 1x F1 Orion. The zombie has started to grow will be a couple of weeks behind the rest. But its ALIVE its ALIVE 😂. They are soaking up the water and will add nutrients from next week 6

Ripped out the males, switching to plain water after this week!

This week has been such a gift! I have learned so much about proper care for a plant I had no idea how little I knew sitting down and observing these majestic trees produce such a potent flower has really humbled me. Premium cultivars strain has shown resilient and self sustaining easy to grow traits that it is hard to mess up. (Which I’ve done a few times lol) Notice the trichomes (I put the zoom lens on and got up in there so they could be better seen the bud itself is slathered in them ! This is going to be an amazing smoke! Also looking at the structure of the bud it’s self it has volume very full bodied bracts with pistils throughout It’s just an all-around beautiful thing to observe

2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol. I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water. 2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled. 2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields.. 2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base. I added 36 Gallons I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil 2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, 2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

Pulled this beautiful girl today and the house smells like an orchard, it’s truly something special this strain . Looks to be about a half pound so I’m just stoked. One day when I get sorted to breed my own or clone I’ll deffo be revisiting this strain , hands down my favourite smoke ever.

02.08.2026 Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 8 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow! Weather and Conditions The weather has been almost perfect for the girls, with plenty of sunshine, high temperatures and still no rain at all. If these conditions continue for another two weeks, I might make it through the grow without any major issues. Fingers crossed! Unfortunately, my rain barrels are completely empty by now, so I've had to switch to tap water. Growth The girls have completely stopped stretching and are now focusing all their energy on swelling their buds and producing more resin. Papaya Cookies No more side branches are developing, but the buds are getting noticeably longer and fatter every day. Her smell has become incredibly intense. With the right wind, you can already smell her from the front of my house. Definitely not the best strain if you have neighbours with sensitive noses. The colours are absolutely gorgeous as well—a real eye-catcher. I estimate she'll be ready for harvest in about two weeks. Tangie When it comes to bulking up, she has now overtaken Papaya Cookies with ease. Just like in my 2024 grow, she's producing long, candle-shaped colas. The genetics seem to be incredibly consistent. The aroma reminds me of freshly peeled oranges, and I absolutely love it. I think she'll need around three more weeks before she's ready. Apricot Apricot is also showing some beautiful colours, although she'll probably end up being the smallest yielder of the three. But... she easily has the best aroma of them all. In my opinion, she even smells better than Papaya Cookies, although not nearly as overpowering. Fast Buds really created a beautiful terpene profile with this one. Her buds aren't as large as the others, but they already look as if they've been coated in thick sugar. She's by far the frostiest girl in the greenhouse. I have a feeling she's going to deliver a seriously potent smoke. I also expect her to finish in about two weeks. Feeding Nothing has changed this week. I'm still feeding T.A. TriPart as before. Over the next week I'll switch Apricot and Papaya Cookies to T.A. FinalPart, while Tangie will stay on TriPart for another week because of her longer flowering time. Pests Still nothing to report. Looks like the grow gods are on my side this year. 🤞 Final Thoughts Overall, it's been a solid—though not spectacular—grow so far. Missing a feeding while I was on holiday probably cost me a bit of yield, but that's perfectly fine. The vacation was definitely worth it. Now it's all about finishing strong and letting the girls ripen to their full potential. That's it for this week, my friends. Catch ya next week! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Hello folks Welcome for the first week of flowering 😺 ( 38 days veg ) These Toxic are growing really fast with a lottt of secondary branch ! they responded very well to fimming. Still no nutrients, just rhizotonic and cannazym with aprox 4.5 liters of water every 5/6 days i like CANNA super soil a lot, no need to put fertilizers before bloom, ( good for 6 weeks atleast) and the roots like it 😍 Regarding defoliation, I take off some leaves every day, i dont like removing too many leaves at once I will change the MH for the HPS next week and make a little prayer so that the days are not too hot this summer 😅 I also have 2 another diaries with Rqs/Ripper strains if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

So this is how things are looking for the ladies at the end of Week 6 of Veg guys, I have uploaded a video with more information, any questions just ask in the comments 👍🏾🌱💚 HAPPY GROWING

F week 7. I had nutrient lockout and ph started to swing down. I wasn't mixed my nutes right. I should have kept more break between adding the nutes and let it blend in peace.I lost some days because of that. Now everything should be under the control. The plant smells really strong. Cola nuggets are really hard but the trichomes are still mainly transparent.

Chugging along week six licking my wounds and biding my time all is well though I ain’t mad leasons learned no reason to cry over spilt milk

BLOOMING. I switched the light schedule to 12-12. They seem to be responding well to it.

Bin immernoch am überlegen den Klon aus Platzgründen rauszuwerfen, aber er macht sich ganz ok in dem kleinen Topf. Die anderen beiden haben so langsam glaube ich ihre finale Höhe und ausbreitung erreicht, aber mal sehen. Läuft super. Es ist ganz interessant die verschiedenen Sorten und damit Unterschiede im Wachstum nebeneienander zu haben, obwohl mich der Höhenunterschied ziemlich stört.
