No fertilizer this week and probably next week, only tap water. Removed some of the leaves blocking flowers. The bruised banana stretches really strong and is really thirsty, the other 3 are still pretty compact

~ FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla Autoflower Harvest Report ~ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here we go fam!...after 13 exciting weeks this run of three FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla Autoflowers has come to an end and, despite some hiccups along the way, all three of this phenomenal cultivar delivered the goods! This was my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing and honestly I made some mistakes along the way. In hindsight, I ran too many feed cycles in a 24hr period which did not allow the medium and fabric pots dry out enough which led to a Fungus Gnat infestation which wasn't caught until late into flower. I also think I had the nutrient level set too high which may have kept the upper portion of the medium too wet. Other than those issues the only other hindrances were related to the actual ebb/flow system itself and beyond my immediate control such as plant spacing, solution temperature etc. I will say that when using this AirCube system I found out the hard way that you really need to have all of your plants starting at the same time, and preferably of the same strain unless you're using a trellis net to control the canopy height. Lastly, I will say that the GrowAce AirCube system was very well built, used quality materials, is expandable, and was very easy to setup and get running. Now to the plants... All three Strawberry Gorilla's were germinated together and sprouted within 24hrs of one another. I did very minimal training on them consisting of leaf tucking and gentle bending of branches, then some LST using horticulture wire starting in Week 1 of flower, which all three responded well to. All three pheno's began to flower right around Day 24 from seed and continued for another 10 weeks. I kept the tent temperatures during veg and early flower between 76-80℉ with the light on, and 70-72℉ with the light off and the RH at 60-70%. Once in flower, I gradually lowered the 'light on' temperature to 72-75℉ and 65℉ during the dark period. I also lowered the RH down to 35-40% during late flower. The entire run they were fed Plagron nutrients exclusively, using their Cocos 'A' and Cocos 'B' along with Green Sensation. Power Roots and Royal Rush. I had nothing but great results from this lineup from Plagron and highly recommend their entire product line! I ended up with three distinct phenotypes, two of which leaning more to the fruity/strawberry side. The third pheno was Glue all the way, with a pungent, chem-like aroma that will make your eyes water! The #1 and #2 phenotypes took on some beautiful coloration through late flower, expressing shades of purple, pinks and lavender. Both of them also had a very fruity/sweet aroma that grew extremely strong during late flower. The #3 phenotype struggled a little bit during the run and was affected the most by the Fungus Gnats (which I'm sure affected her yield) but incredibly ended up not only being the most aromatic of the bunch, but also the frostiest! The #3's flowers were a lime green with hints of pink and lavender on some, all were covered in large headed trichomes! Once the Strawberry Gorilla's reached Week 8 of flower I began regular checks of their trichomes and once they had reached a ratio of 90% milky/10% amber I placed all three plants in darkness for 72hrs in the 4x4, keeping the temperature at 64℉ and a RH of 35%. After three days in the dark I chopped and hung the plants whole in the 4x4 suspended by a wire I ran across the tent. I kept gentle air circulation going in the tent and maintained a temperature of 55-60℉ and monitored the RH, keeping it at 50% for the first 24hrs, then 60% for the remainder of the hanging time. The first plant was ready to trim in 9 days, with the other two 10 & 11 days respectively. All three were trimmed and their flowers placed in Mason jars with a hygrometer inside to begin the curing process. The beautiful 'sugar trim' was sifted on my 24"x24" four screen setup which I did outside on my porch on a calm day that was only 38-40℉. I got a tremendous return of 42g of some beautiful 90u sift that I can't wait to press into rosin! All in all, having cultivated this strain previously I can say that the results could have been a whole lot better, but... taking into consideration my level of expertise with hydroponic growing and the stresses that the Strawberry Gorilla's had to contend with, I'd say that it was a win and a testimony to how resilient and strong this strain from FastBuds is... It's no wonder that Strawberry Gorilla Auto is a trophy winner!🏆

Technical and general parameters of the breeder: Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel produces large and powerful flowers and is known to produce a solid yield. The buds have amazing appeal and the frosty seeds can reach up to 20-25% THC under optimal conditions • This is a strong and easy to grow autoflowering strain. It is a true hybrid that becomes compact to medium sized with relatively short internodes and massive flowers • Bruce Lemon Diesel car has a strong and pungent fruity, Diesel dominant smell and taste. It has sweet and sour notes of oranges, tangerines and limes, making it a very complex terpene profile • It is the combination of potency and yield that makes it an interesting strain for commercial growers. The quick seed harvest time of around 11 weeks is also handy. Expect a strong high that can hit pretty hard, its hybrid effect is long lasting and very enjoyable! Bruce Lemon Diesel car has a strong diesel aroma with hints of jet fuel and oranges, the taste is quite sour and fruity with notes of citrus, tangerine and grapefruit 11 week life cycle 50% Indica 50% Sativa Internal plant size: 75-100 cm For cultivation I used: Cultivation area: 80x80x180cm 1x circulation fan: 15W LED lighting: Mars Hydro TS 1000 - 150W - vegetation and flowering 💡💡 Exhaust: pipe fan - RAMTT100 Odor filter: PRO-ECO HF carbon filter 160-240m3/h - 100mm - maximum air flow up to 240m3/h 4x textile flower pots 11l Substrate: Plagron Lightmix perlite coco coir Thank you to all my friends who support me in growing, who give me advice - @Happy_Rakosnicek, thank you to my friends from Grow Diaries for likes, advice and support 😍❤️❤️ Many thanks to the Super Sativa Seed Club team, especially Johnny, for providing the sponsor seeds 🌱🌱😍 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 Many thanks to Mars Hydro, specifically @Coco_Pan2022 for providing the Mars Hydro TS1000 sponsor light💡💡😉 Smoking Review: I will add the buds after about 10-15 days of drying 💨💨

WEEK 8/5F // D50/29F - D56/35F Die Guava hat es richtig eilig. Von allen Ladys die zusammen stehen ist sie am weitesten vorraus. Die Calyxen fangen an langsam anzuschwellen. Auch der Geruch wird immer süßer. Die eine oder andere Hummel und Biene verirrt sich regelmäßig in den Blüten💚. Die Trichomproduktion ist auch im vollen Gange. Die 38°C Spitze in dieser Woche hat die gute auch ohne Probleme überstanden. Es brauchte nur morgens 1L und dann Mittags nochmal 800ml. Ich schätze mal das die Zeit bis zur Ernte bei ca 2-3 maximal 4 Wochen liegt. Mitte nächster Woche werden also die nächsten Ladys gestartet, so das wenn geerntet wird die neuen Ladys aus dem Mini-Gewächshaus raus kommen und hoffentlich mit beginnender Blüte den Platz der geernteten Ladys einnehmen können und so auch noch fertig werden bevor die unangenehmen Temperaturen losgehen. Gegossen wurde an Tag 50/29F, Tag51/30F, Tag52/31F, Tag53/32F, Tag54/33F, Tag55/34F und an Tag56/35F. An den Tagen gab es jeweils ca 1L-1.2L. Bei jedem zweiten Gießen wurde gedüngt. BioEnhancer gab es an Tag55/34F. Der Topf wird vor dem gießen leicht angehoben um zu abzuschätzen wie viel die Dame benötigt. Temperatur Tag: 22-38°C Nacht: 13-19°C Höhe 84cm

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 05/08/19 || To/Hasta: 11/08/19 From day/Desde día: 14 || To day/Hasta día: 20 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V2: From day 17 to 22 she has turned a quarter, 90º. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- One week more of normal and constant grow, i like the rythm she has growing as i feel she's having a good amount of time for developing the root system. I didn't noticed any weird colour, twirl or something like that, anyway this tent is not totally isolated from outdoors as is always semi-opened in my living room, and the door to my terrace is opened 24/7. She looks very healthy and equitative, also i think she has a perfect height to keep her growing at low height, just a bit over the pot once topped. Next week i will perform the first topping and prunning. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 08/08/19 - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V2: De los días 17 a 22 de crecimiento la planta ha girado un cuarto de giro, 90º. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Una semana más de crecimiento normal y constante, me gusta el ritmo en el que crece pues me da la impresión de que está teniendo un tiempo excelente para desarrollar el sistema radicular. De momento no he notado ningún color o cosas raras en las hojas, aún así este armario de cultivo no está totalmente aislado del exterior ya que está siempre semi-abierto en mi salón, y la puerta de mi terraza está abierta 24/7. Se la ve muy sana y equitativa, también tengo la sensación de que va a coger el tamaño perfecto para mantener el crecimiento bajito, justo un poco por encima del tiesto una vez hecho el topping. La semana que viene realizaré la primera poda y el primer topping. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 08/08/19 - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

Vegetation Week 5: Topping, Pistil Puzzles & the All-Mix Countdown Update: 14.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 5 brought some plot twists and big moves! Let’s unpack the story. Current Highlights: Topping & Tiny Pistils Topping Done Right: Both ladies got their first topping this week! Cut the main stem carefully with disinfected scissors above Node 5. Let’s see how they recover from that, but I guess they’re big enough to take that blow like champs. Durban’s Pistil Surprise: Spotted early pistils (white hairs) on the Durban – wait, already?! Stay calm: Durban Poison is photoperiod, so this isn’t full flowering. Likely causes: Light stress? Double-check nighttime darkness during “indoor curfew” – even small light leaks can confuse photoperiods. Longer days in late April/May will keep her in veg. No need to panic! What do you guys think? Have you experienced pre-flower this early under sunlight? Nutrient Needs Rising: Lower leaves on the Blueberry show faint lighter green hues – Biobizz Light Mix is running low on juice. Next move: Transplant into Biobizz All-Mix (richer in nutrients) after topping recovery. ______________________ Chapter Update: Garden Bed Prep – Building Their Forever Home This week’s big project: Prepping the outdoor spots where these ladies will live their best lives! Here’s the dirt: - Holes Dug: Two 50x50x50cm pits (perfect for root freedom!). - Soil Mix: - 20L Biobizz Worm Humus – worm-powered nutrient gold. - 20L Biobizz All-Mix – for structure and organic goodness. - Homemade Compost – loaded with worms, horn shavings (slow-release nitrogen), and lime (pH balance). - Why It’s Lit: This mix is a 100% organic buffet – worms till the soil, microbes feed the roots, and the girls get everything they need to explode in summer! ______________________ Chapter Update 2: Pot Upgrades & Root Magic Update: 15.04.2025 (Day 39) Today’s mission: New shoes for the ladies! The Trigger: Noticed the first true leaves hinting at hunger (fading green, subtle yellow whispers) – Biobizz Light Mix had given its all. Time for a nutrient boost! The Process: - Pot Upgrade: Swapped their 0.27L cups for 1.5L plastic pots (hello, legroom!). - Soil Mix: - 2:1 All-Mix to Worm Castings – All-Mix for structure, worm goodies for microbes. - Root Reveal: Popped the old pots off – root porn alert! Creamy-white tendrils everywhere, with fuzzy mycorrhizal hyphae hugging them like a snug sweater. - Myco Re-Up: Dusted the root ball’s “four corners” with fresh myco powder (symbiosis 2.0!). - Tomato Trick: - Removed the lowest node’s leaves and tiny side branches. - Planted them deeper to bury part of the stem – this’ll spark new roots along the buried stem (works like a charm for tomatoes, so why not cannabis?). ______________________ Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Still feeding bud booster and k but i will very soon stop it all and start just watering, i believe she will go for whatever still is in my soil and after she will go to her reserves and start the fading out for her end of season . I think in a couple of days or so i will defoliate her since i notice that some parts are not getting enough light.

Did some more defoliation but keeping her going as she's wrapping up the stretch. Really starting to flower now, which took way longer than I expected. She's a late bloomer for sure, not the best for growing outdoors, this was a test seed though so I just kept her going. Amsterdam Genetics doesn't recommend this one for growing outdoors btw.

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita más para las niñas, se supone q es la anteúltima semana pero siempre queda algún día más seguro... Está semana se quitaron y agregaron nutrientes nuevos para esta etapa de la floración, de momento todo en orden, este rmario salió muchísimo mejor a comparación a otros diarios, eso desde mi punto de vista. Tanbm le quité varias hojas, haciéndole hueco para que entre más luz x debajo, ya había aquitado pero tenía bastantes otra vez. De momento todo en orden... La semana q viene ya vemos q tal van... Un saludo y buenos humos para tod@s... 💨💨💨🙌🏻👍🏻 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

7/5/25 plant is stretching. Not sure if its preflowering or just being outside in a bigger pot. Im just going to let her grow naturally and see how it turns out. I may end up with just one diary of each strain at the moment. But im also not sure whether im going to be doing indoor or outdoor based on personal circumstances.
