RDWC Barney’s Farm Gorilla Zkittles

This is likely my last week, where I’ll be harvesting on Sunday the 7th. All in all this grow has been a huge learning experience for me. Ultimately my mistake for the grow was allowing them to veg for so long as the plants were too big for me to move around easily. Not gonna lie the last 3-4 weeks I’ve been slacking because of how heavy the plants were I couldn’t get really move them around to fully drain and replace my water, which is something I’ll be changing around on the next grow. Had I flipped them to flower in week 6, I feel I could’ve gotten a better yield as they would’ve had more room to stretch upwards and I could’ve used my light to it’s full potential as my fear was giving the top larger bud sights light burn. I also ran into issues where some of the skinnier stems were so skinny that they couldn’t really support the weight of the buds without the trellis net so when I’d take the net off, some of the stems would snap and I’d have to tape them back up. I could’ve also done a much better job with defoliating. It’s crazy how many leaves these things get lol, you’ll feel like you’ve taken a significant amount off but then 3 days later it’s almost like you didn’t even defoliate at all! My next post will be of the chopped buds where I’ll hopefully have it all weighed out. Might be another 2 weeks or so before that post though. I’ll definitely be growing these seeds again, I just need to remember how much faster these girls veg than they traditionally would have in a soil based medium, but hey it was my first Hydro grow so I’m very proud of it! Thank you for reading and for all of the tips and support you’ve given me along the journey!
