FirstGrow

The Fast Buds Gorilla Glue auto really took off in the vegetative stage and was very easy to grow. She demonstrated very tight inter-nodes in veg and exploded with side branches with careful LST/ pony-tailing. Her leaves looked almost sativa in nature even though she is advertised as indica dominant. She was doing well in the first week of flower and then demonstrated a nutrient deficiency the 2nd week of flower. Im not sure if it originally was a "nutrient lock-out" or cal-mag deficiency, but she had trouble recovering. Overall, the problem stunted her growth and robbed her of some yields. I personally ran into a frustrating problem where I could not get cal-mag for a couple of weeks due to a delivery issue and at that point the deficiency was really tearing her leaves apart. Even with the doses of cal-mag finally and several flushes, she only showed minor signs of recovery in the final 2 weeks. Her buds still came out very indica oriented (quite dense) even though her phenotype originally was sativa dominant. She actually does smell very similar to the adhesive part of Gorilla/Duct tape, and only mildly smelled of weed in my room. I would like to try her again once I get a little more experience under my belt. Smoke update: She has been curing for a while now and is starting to come along nicely. This is definitely a strain that really never hits its peak potential without a nice long proper cure. 1 month in and that grassy dank chlorophyll smell is finally gone. Now she smells piney with a smooth vanilla background and hint of lemon. Once you crack her open though that lovely glue smell takes over. She was a little harsh on the throat in the beginning but has developed a nice smooth piney/woody taste with just a drizzle of lemon smoke. She will never smoke as silky as the blackberry but thats because I couldnt flush her long enough. The high is relaxing and mellowing but I do not feel couch locked at all (i couldnt let the trichs get >5% amber on this round due to problems). Smoking excessively can really bring out the giggles. Definitely a high that allows you to still be functional during daytime use.

I dont think I ran into one problem with this girl. She was very compliant and super hardy, yet exotic. This was a fantastic strain by Fast-Buds to use as a first grow. Her smell exudes crushed berries. I could honestly grow this beautiful plant for the rest of my life and be content. I would recommend this as a beginner plant to anyone. Her colors and smell really ignited this new passion. Update on the smoke: Smoking with a vape youre pretty much drinking blackberry juice shes so sweet and smooth like an exotic punch. Her smell is intoxicating and really smells nothing like weed. It smells more like an earthy berry yankee candle. Its berry tang hits you though opening up those jars every 24 hours😋. It ignites my senses. The high is such a nice happy cozy elegant feeling. You can just lie there relaxed in bed thinking about positive daydreams and reflections on some of your favorite life moments while feeling like humbled royalty. This can be smoked to a psychedelic level pretty mildly. You become hyperconcious of sound falling victim to the rhythmic vibrations of all objects that seem to echo their way into your body. Music on this bose speaker sounds so silky. Visuals come in and out like a sine-wave intensifying and relaxing slowly. I remember the ceiling looking wavy and geometric of sorts. And then your waking up to your morning alarm. I have tried using this strain with activity and it was nice. I took a nice geometric walk around the city blocks with my gf feeling like i was glowing, everything felt so good. Definitely that high that makes it feel good to move your feet a little.
