CheeRz Week 0: Germination – Enter the Jungle 🦍🍬
Strain Info
Strain: Gorilla Z Auto
Breeder: Fast Buds (Gorilla Glue #4 x Zkittlez)
Type: Autoflower
Medium: BioBizz All-Mix (11L Final Pot)
🚀 Unleashing the Beast!
New run, new monster! This time it’s all about the Gorilla Z Auto by Fast Buds. I’m hunting for that perfect mix of heavy-hitting Gorilla resin and that insane Zkittlez candy terpene profile. The strategy remains consistent: a controlled 3-4 week indoor start in the tent to build maximum vigor, then moving her out to in mid-May for the final stretch. ☀️🌦️
Germination & Potting:
Today, the lady officially moved into her 11L "forever home"! To give the seedling the smoothest start possible, I prepared a small "Light-Mix pocket" within the All-Mix. This allows the delicate young roots to establish themselves without nutrient burn before they dive into the full power of the All-Mix. Since it's an auto, starting directly in the final pot avoids any transplant shock and keeps the "auto-clock" running perfectly! ⏱️🚫
Setup & Strategy: 🛡️
I’m running BioBizz All-Mix, pre-activated 36h before the start. Since I’m dealing with soft tap water, the CalMag is ready to go to keep the buffering capacity stable and the leaves lush. 💎
The natural "pest-patrol" (Lavender 💜 and Marigolds 🌼) is already being prepped to ensure a clean, discrete, and pest-free transition once she moves outside! 🐛⚔️
Grower’s Notes 💭
Goal for this week: A clean sprout and establishing that crucial deep taproot in the 11L pot. The Light-Mix pocket is the perfect buffer to ensure she doesn't get overwhelmed early on. Next stop: Breaking the surface! 📈❄️

CheeRz Week 1: Vegetative Stage – Early Vigor 🦍🌿
Development: 🌿
Week 1 of veg is officially underway, and the Gorilla Z is showing some serious early vigor! After a smooth sprout, she’s now working on her second set of true leaves. The strategy with the Light-Mix pocket in the 11L pot worked perfectly—she looks healthy, vibrant, and hasn't shown a single sign of nutrient burn from the All-Mix. The stem is thickening up nicely, and the transition from seedling to a real plant is happening fast! 🚀📈
Setup & Environment: 🌡️
Environment is dialed in. I’m keeping the LEDs at a comfortable intensity to ensure she doesn't get overwhelmed while she’s still building her root foundation. No transplanting means zero downtime, and you can really see the vigor in those lush green leaves. The "bodyguards" 💜🌼 are also doing great, prepping for the outdoor move in May!
Nutrients & Water 💧
Watering: Watering in a small circle around the base to encourage the roots to reach out into the 11L pot.
Feed: Currently sticking to pH-regulated water with a light dose of Root·Juice to supercharge the root zone. No NPK needed yet as the All-Mix has plenty of power. ⚡
Grower’s Notes 💭
Goal for this week: Focused root development and steady leaf production. She looks happy and already starts 'praying' to the light. The Gorilla Z genetics are definitely showing their strength early on. Can't wait for the explosion once she taps into the full All-Mix nutrients! 🦍🔥

CheeRz Week 3: Flowering Stage – Vertical Explosion 🦍☀️
Development: 🌿
Week 3 of bloom and the Gorilla Z is officially exploding! The stretch outdoor has been massive over the last few days. The two main colas from the topping are reaching high, and the entire plant is stacking beautifully.

CheeRz Week 4: Flowering Stage – Stacking & Bud Formation 🦍🌸
Development: 🌿
We are moving into Week 4 of bloom, and the Gorilla Z is shifting all her energy from vertical stretching into serious bud production. The transition is stunning—the stretch has officially slowed down, and all those flower sites are now clustering together into thick, distinct white puffs. The canopy shape remains beautifully balanced from the early training, allowing every single bud site to get a perfect share of the shifting outdoor light. No signs of deficiencies; she maintains a beautiful, healthy green hue. 🚀📈
Setup & Environment: 🌡️
The outdoor greenhouse environment continues to treat her incredibly well. Even with fluctuating outdoor weather, the shelter keeps her protected from heavy winds while providing optimal fresh air movement. Her companion plant defense shield is fully integrated, keeping the entire corner stable, natural, and problem-free. ☀️🌦️
Nutrients & Water 💧
Watering: Drinking steadily. I am keeping the substrate perfectly balanced, ensuring it dries out slightly between waterings to keep the root oxygenation optimal during this crucial development phase. 💦
Feed (per Liter):
Fish·Mix: 3 ml
Bio·Bloom: 3 ml
