Purrple_Haze A New Chapter Begins ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฌ | Gorilla Zkittlez โ€“ MSNL Seeds Time to kick off a brand-new diary, and this one comes with some serious promise. Iโ€™ve started Gorilla Zkittlez from MSNL Seeds, and the journey is officially underway. ๐ŸŒฑ I germinated two seeds using my trusted paper towel method, and both responded exactly how you want to see it โ€” healthy taproots, quick reaction, and a very smooth start overall. Always a good feeling when genetics show their quality right from the first step. So far, everything is lining up nicely: ๐Ÿ”ธ Two Gorilla Zkittlez seeds successfully germinated ๐Ÿ”ธ Paper towel method as usual โ€” simple, reliable, proven ๐Ÿ”ธ Strong early vigor visible right from the start ๐Ÿ”ธ Both seedlings off to an even, promising beginning Itโ€™s still very early days, but first impressions matter โ€” and these girls are already giving off good vibes. If they keep this momentum, Iโ€™m expecting a fun and aromatic ride ahead. ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฆ Iโ€™ll keep documenting every step as they settle in and start building their structure. Stay tuned โ€” this one is just getting started ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Purrple_Haze Double Trouble Begins ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฌ | Gorilla Zkittlez โ€“ Week 1 The first week with my two Gorilla Zkittlez is in the books, and so far everything looks solid. Both seedlings have established well and are settling into their new environment without any major issues. ๐ŸŒฑ As expected, thereโ€™s already a small difference in development โ€” one of them is clearly a bit ahead, showing slightly faster growth and more confidence early on. The second one is taking things a little slower, but nothing that raises concern at this stage. They both look healthy, with clean leaf color and steady progress. Iโ€™ll keep a close eye on how the height difference develops over the coming days. If the gap becomes more noticeable, Iโ€™m already considering using a SCROG later on to even things out and make the most of the space. That way, both plants can contribute equally and stay nicely level under the light. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ For now, itโ€™s all about letting them find their rhythm, build roots, and grow at their own pace. Week one is always about patience โ€” and so far, Gorilla Zkittlez is off to a calm and promising start. Looking forward to seeing how their structure and vigor develop next. โœจ

Purrple_Haze Two Paths, One Tent ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฌ Week 2 with my Gorilla Zkittlez brings two very different stories under the same roof. One plant is clearly in beast mode already โ€” strong growth, healthy structure, and a confident push upwards. Exactly what you hope to see at this stage. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ The second one, however, is taking a very different route. Sheโ€™s looking a bit crippled and hesitant, with noticeably slower growth and less enthusiasm overall. Not ideal โ€” but for now, she stays. Given that my Mimosa run already had a rough germination rate, Iโ€™ve decided to let her live and see if she finds her rhythm later on. Sometimes they surprise you. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ Environment-wise, things are dialed in nicely: ๐Ÿ”ธ VPD holding steady around 1.1, which seems to suit the healthy plant very well ๐Ÿ”ธ Fed with S&R Organics 5-in-1, a complete organic fertilizer bringing nutrients, microorganisms, and mycorrhiza in one go No major interventions planned for now โ€” Iโ€™ll keep conditions stable and let them show me what theyโ€™re capable of. If the growth difference becomes more pronounced, I can still adapt later with training or canopy management. For now, itโ€™s a classic case of same genetics, different personalities. Letโ€™s see how Week 3 treats them. ๐Ÿƒ

Purrple_Haze Two Paths, One Strain ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฌ This update is about both Gorilla Zkittlez plants from MSNL Seeds, and itโ€™s a great example of how differently genetics can express themselves โ€” even under identical conditions. The first plant continues to develop exactly the way I was hoping for. She reacted very well to the applied Low Stress Training and is now growing nice and bushy, spreading out evenly and building a strong, promising structure. The canopy is opening up beautifully, light penetration is improving day by day, and she shows zero signs of stress. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ If she keeps this pace, sheโ€™s going to turn into a real eye-catcher later in flower. The second Gorilla Zkittlez, however, is taking a very different route. Sheโ€™s still very small at around 7 cm, and her growth is noticeably slower. That said โ€” she is growing. No decline, no worsening symptoms, just a plant that clearly wants to move at her own pace. Because of that, Iโ€™ve decided to let her live and see where she takes things. Sometimes patience is rewarded in unexpected ways, and as long as thereโ€™s forward movement, she deserves the chance. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Both plants are being treated exactly the same, sharing the same environment and nutrition. Feeding remains simple and consistent: ๐ŸŒฑ Feeding & Care ๐Ÿ”ธ Green Power 5-in-1 by S&R Organics ๐Ÿ”ธ Dechlorinated tap water ๐Ÿ”ธ VPD: 1.1 This balanced organic approach continues to provide a stable foundation, allowing each plant to express herself naturally โ€” whether fast and vigorous or slow and cautious. In the end, this grow is already proving to be a learning experience. Two plants, same strain, same setup โ€” yet completely different growth patterns. And honestly, thatโ€™s part of what makes growing so fascinating. Iโ€™m curious to see how both Gorilla Zkittlez will develop over the coming weeks, each in her own way. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ
