Growing and smoking Gorilla Breath is a unique, quasi mystical experience. This plant is large, tall, solid, resinous and stinky, the King Gorilla reigns over the garden. Not easy for discretion.
All branches support a compact and sticky top bud colored in lime lime green with touch of purple.
Great opportunity to grow this finest strain outdoor
Gorilla Breath:
Gorilla Glue (Sour Dubb(Diesel+Skunk+Afghani)+Chem sister+Chocolate diesel) x OGKB(OG Kush + Girl Scout Cookies)
80% Indica/20% Sativa
70 days Flo recommended by Humbolt seed
Started April 18 - Flo around August 10 - Harvest October 16 (26 weeks-9 weeks flo)
Result:
61g of dry flowers: A small reasonable yield for a 17l pot size, but a unique and top selected genetic. This Gorilla specimen is impressive by his large structure, giving some big pretty resinous buds; acid green color with touches to purple. The smell is the strongest and aggressive I’ve ever tested. It will be a surely a tasty and strong weed to smoke.
Grow resume:
starting germination a little bit later than other plants in the garden but it was the perfect timing: didn’t need to used artificial light and this Gorilla became the tallest plant of the summer 9session .
The plant grew fast, solid and large. After almost 17 weeks growing, changing pot 2 times and did one topping: we have a healthy lime green little tree with long sides branches and big Indica leaves. A bamboo structure (espalier) fixed to the pot offer a necessary support for ramifications and future heavy flowers.
Good reaction to the mineral nutrients General Hydroponic Flora series, no signs of nutrients deficiency at the end of the vegetative cycle.
The plant need a good quantity of water but is robust and well developed.
The flowering period was more problematic. After heat waves, insects and parasites appeared; successively: aphids, Mealybugs and caterpillars. Did lot of organic treatments on leaves, big defoliations during many day. Finally the plant had some stress and damages even if the flowering was never interrupted or slow down。
feeding with Canna Terra Flores during August, used Top Crop Guano bat to bring nitrogen and BioBizz to finish with organic nutrients.
Mid October was time to harvest before to have problems like botrytis or mold in the ultra sticky and resinous buds.
Conclusion:
Gorilla breath is not one of those pretty girls in a garden… He is a big daddy: Large and stinky. It’s a remarkable plant, great potential. The humbolt Gorilla’s genetic is perfect. No regrets to choosing it for this outdoor session 2022.
