Gorilla Glue Auto from ILGM

[bboyfromwayback]

Has anyone out there grown Gorilla Glue Autos from ILGM? This will be my 2nd auto flower grow and first with Gorilla Glue. Just wondering if I should train the plants or let them do their own thing.

You could minimally just tie them down to provide great light into the core of the plant. If you plan on topping consider getting it down before week 3. If there’re not growing fast enough, you may consider NOT topping, it would slow the growth down too much

I'm growing one right now. It's been in flower about 3 weeks and right now is the rockstar of the tent in terms of the number of bud sites and growth. I didn't top mine, just did some LST that bordered on HST. It's growing faster than the other autos so I bent the top down and in 24 hours it flipped up and kept right on growing. Now I'm glad I didn't top it, I would just train enough to keep a level canopy and defoliate enough that all the bud sites are getting light. HTH.

Thanks! I’ll definitely be tying the main cola down.

The ins and outs of topping autos per NebulaHaze I follow her original recommendation and do not top them. https://www.growweedeasy.com/can-you-top-autoflowering-strains

This Green Crack from FastBuds LST'd itself. Harvested a few days ago, and smelling very fruity. I just may sample this produce myself. Yes my barn needs painting!

I have successfully topped autos, it can be done

I believe it! I’m finishing up my first ever grow with autos and there’s several things I’ll be doing different this round. The Glueberry should definitely have been topped because it’s 8wks in and still has another 3wks atleast. The other two strains are about done and just to see I bent one each over and let them grow sideways after they got about 8” tall. Not only are those two going to produce twice as much as the two plants I let grow natural, their buds are ripening faster.

bboyfromwayback lots of things they say shouldn't be done need to be tried like your doing. Some strains may do better than others but tiny little Xmas trees are not my bag.

Yea I’ve never seen anything so damn cute. I’m used to big round bushes and these things are the tiniest lil things I’ve ever seen but then they’re flowering by week 3. I have one plant that’s probably going to produce close to a oz dry but the others are looking closer to a 1/2.

I feel for you... 1.) I hate painting and 2.) you gonna scrape that too? Nice looking cola however

You wanna see tiny? Check out Oscarina (the feminine version of Oscar) Oscar the dwarf from the Tin Drum by Gunter Grass.


The entire plant minus some trim fit into this leetle bitty jar! Just like Oscar the world sucked so bad she refused to
GROW. Obviously topping this diminutive plant wouldn't have helped much.

the ultimate pain, but instead of scraping I've got one of these babies. https://www.homedepot.com/p/7-5-Amp...4gg_lLQJ0nWyatujdu0aAl_9EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
