Fingers - Zkittlez in the Mist

Gorilla Zkittlez from Barney's Farm is an indica dominant hybrid of Gorilla Glue x Zkittlez. She grows to a tall height with a flowering time of 56-63 days. She will be started under LED's for veg and moved under HPS for flower. Veg Tent size - 3'x3'x6' Flower Tent size - 4'x4'x6.75' Veg Lights - 2 x Viparspectra PAR450 - 200 watts actual consumption each Flower Lights - 600 Watt Eye Hortilux Super HPS in air cooled hood Ventilation - 6 in 440 CFM fan ducted to carbon filter pushing through hood Containers - 3 Gallon fabric pots Medium - Pro-Mix HP + 20% extra perlite for aeration and drainage Nutrients - Canna Start, Canna Terra base nutrients, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Boost, PK 13/14, Terpinator and Hydroguard 1/19 - Seed was soaked in 120 ppm Clonex solution for 4 hours, then placed into moistened Root Riot plug. 1/23 - We have a sprout. 1/25 - Calling today Day 1 of veg. Gave her some Canna Start at 10ml/gal via syringe to keep rooter moist. 1/29 - Day 5 of veg. transplanted to 3 gal fabric containers today and watered in with solution mixed to 320 ppm, and pH set to 5.9. Her second leaf set is starting and she looks great.

2/1 - Day 8 of veg, gave her some water + Hydroguard today with pH set to 5.8. 2/3 - Day 10 of veg, fed her at 480 ppm and pH set to 5.8. This is my first run with these nutes so there will be adjustments made to try and find the sweet spot, but I feel confident it will be easier than with the 3 part from GH. 2/5 - Day 12 of veg, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH adjusted to 5.8. She is doing great and is starting to work on her 3rd node already.

2/8 - Day 15 of veg, fed her veg nutes, bumping Terra Vega to 7.5 ml/gal, and Calimagic to 2.5 ml/gal, with pH set to 5.8. She is now developing her 4th node. 2/9 - Day 16 of veg, gave water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8. 2/11 - Day 18, fed her veg nutes again, pH set to 5.8. 2/14 - Day 21, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. I topped her at the 3rd node, and removed her 1st node leaving the 2nd and 3rd nodes to prepare her for training.

2/16 - Day 23, fed her with veg nutes until runoff for first time, bumping Terra Vega up to 11ml/gal which is full strength on the light feeding chart from Canna. Calimagic was bumped to 3ml/gal. As always, pH was set to 5.8. She is responding to and has recovered from the topping. LST will begin next week.

2/22 - Day 29, performed LST on her today to open up her center and allow the lower bud sites to catch up. LST was shaped into a "+" to reduce twisting of the branches. I used a precision screwdriver to poke small holes in the grow bags near the top to attach coated wire, which was bent as needed to bring the arms down, and open her structure. 2/23 - Day 30, fed her veg nutes again, dropping TerraVega to 8ml/gal. She has responded very well to the LST and is growing quickly. Her lower nodes on the side branches are getting more light and catching up quickly, to help give a nice even canopy in the tent with the other girls. 2/26 - Day 33, performed some defoliation and adjusted LST points as needed. I'm trying to keep them as flat as possible now, because they are gonna go batshit at the flip to 12/12 under HPS. She has barely noticed the LST and defoliation so far, and is continuing to grow vigorously. 2/28 - Day 35, gave her water + Hydroguard, CaliMagic at 2ml/gal ea, with pH adjusted to 5.8. Final runoff was 907 ppm and pH was 6.

3/6 - Day 41, fed her today. They are looking a little limey colored so I will bump the nutes up to 14ml/gal of Terra Vega at the next feeding. I defoliated some fans and adjusted LST points as needed during feeding. Final runoff was 931 ppm and pH was 6.1.

3/11 - Day 46, fed her veg nutes again, Terra Vega at 14ml/gal and increased Armor Si to 2ml/gal, and added RapidStart at 1ml/gal, with pH set to 5.8. I defoliated her pretty heavy during feeding. Final runoff was 1057 ppm and pH was 6. 3/12 - Day 47, topped her 4 mains to focus growth on established nodes. She will be flipped to flower soon and this will be the last topping before the switch. The plan is to allow for a bit of recovery time, and once she's back up to speed, I'll give her the flip to 12/12.

3/17 - Day 52, gave water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8, and defoliated a few fans during watering. Final runoff was 830 ppm and pH was 6. 3/20 - Day 55, gave her the flip to 12/12 today and moved her into the HPS tent with her sisters for flower.

3/26 - Day 61, not counting flower yet but it's 7 days post flip and the stretch is on! Defoliated her during feeding and final runoff was 1041 ppm and pH was 6.

3/29 - Day 64, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8, Final runoff was 726 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/2 - Day 68/Day 1 of flower today as her baby buds are starting to form now and her stretch is tapering down. Fed her first bloom nutes with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1146 ppm and pH was 5.8.

4/5 - Day 71/4F, she was fed again with bloom nutes, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1227 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/9 - Day 75/8F, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 914 ppm and pH was 5.9. She was also defoliated today, I trimmed away the bud sites that would never get much light. She is already getting a early coating of sticky frost. She is quite leggy and the tallest girl in the tent.

4/12 - Day 78/11F, fed her today and added a little PK 13/14 at 3ml/gal. She is a leggy thing, I'm glad the stretch is over! Like her other tent mates, she has developed an early trichome dusting, and her smell is creeping out now. Hard to put a finger( pun intended) on it right now. 4/14 - Day 80/13F, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 770 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/16 - Day 82/15F, fed her today with pH set to 5.8. She is spreading trichomes like a virus, and pushing pistils everyday. She is taking on a fruity note with a floral hint, and is already uber sticky. Final runoff was 1340 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/18 - Day 84/17F, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 900 ppm and pH was 5.9.

4/21 - Day 87/20F, gave her water + Calimagic and Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 920 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/23 - Day 89/22F, fed her dropping Terra Flores to 18 ml/gal, PK 13/14 up to 5 ml/gal, and Terpinator up to 10 ml/gal. pH was adjusted to 5.8. Final runoff was 1220 ppm and pH was 5.9. She continues to chuck pistils and build frost.

4/26 - Day 92/25F, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. She is moving right along in flower, and her buds are really starting to take shape. Did I mention the frost?? Yep, it's there, even the lowers are covered!! Final runoff was 1006 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/28 - Day 94/27F, gave her water + Calimagic, Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 684 ppm and pH was 5.9. 4/30 - Day 96/29F, fed her dropping Terra Flores to 16 ml/gal, and PK 13/14 to 3 ml/gal. Final runoff was 1030 ppm and pH was 5.9.

5/3 - Day 99/32F, gave her water + Hydroguard, Calimagic with pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 815 ppm and pH was 5.9. Her long skinny legs are struggling already with the top heavy buds and the frost continues to build. 5/7 - Day 103/36F, gave her water + Hydroguard again, with pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 630 ppm and pH was 5.9. 5/9 - Day 105/38F, fed her lowering Terra Flores to 14 ml/gal, Terpinator to 7.5 ml/gal and dropping PK 13/14. pH was adjusted to 5.8. She is heading towards flush time, and honestly I'm almost glad it's over, really just because she is so leggy that she's a pain in the ass to deal with. Final runoff was 1115 ppm and pH was 5.9

5/11 - Day 107/40F, began flush today with water, pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 740 ppm and pH was 5.9. She should finish out here within the next 2 weeks, so I'm gonna try Flawless Finish for the 1st time and see how that goes. 5/13 - Day 109/42F, gave her 1.5 gallons of water + Flawless Finish at 8 ml/gal with pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 630 ppm and pH was 5.9. I'm now keeping her in the front corner of the tent so I can water her without getting her out, because her drunk ass is all over the place. 5/15 - Day 111/44F, gave her another 1.5 gallons of water + Flawless Finish, with pH set to 6. Final runoff was 540 ppm and pH was 5.9. Definitely gonna use some stakes on the next run of this girl, and probably keep her under LED for the entire run, to control this heffer's legs.

5/19 - Day 115/48F, gave her 2 gallons of water + Flawless Finish. She's approaching harvest and will get a heavy flush with about 10 gallons in the next few days. Final runoff was 346 ppm and pH was 6. 5/21 - Day 117/50F, flushed her with about 10 gallons of water to a final runoff of 115 ppm and pH was 6. She will be getting the axe in a few days, likely on the 27th or 28th.

I like the effects overall of this strain, though it can be a pain to grow. I'd like to see some tighter node spacing, and sturdier stalks. I will probably run this again under LED from seed to harvest and see if I can close the gaps a little. Other than that the end product is superb!
