It's time for me to start germinating my strong Genetics. Couldn't be more excited. I have everything ready and in place. 3 Gorilla Zkittlez by Barney's Farm and 1 Purple Moby Dick by Dinafem. I will be sticking to my nutrient line of SuiteLeaf throughout the Duration of the Grow.

So the Purple Moby dick never tapped. I followed the same procedure as my other 3 Gorilla Zkittlez and no dice. So looks like the remainder of this Diary will be covering the Winner from Barneys Farm Gorilla Zkittlez. So interestingly, the middle of the three gorilla zkittlez actually grew its own taproot into itself in like a circle. It was stuck and could not get out of the rockwool. I caught this and freed it, and she's made an incredible recovery and joined the other two buckets. Couldn't be more proud.

Okay, so the Gorilla Zkittlez are all looking fairly sick. May or may not be past the point of recovery. Thing is this week I've kept just plain water with 0 nutrients. There hasnt been growth, and the look dying and molding. I'm going to try and save them today. Not sure how or what I should do. Open to any tips. I think I realize that they were too young and small for this early of a transplant. Looking back, I should have let veg for more roots. -------- Update -------- I decided to transplant them to a soil root plug. They don't look too hot and i'm too excited for these too let them die or suffer in their current circumstances. Hopefully I can save and flourish these little girls.

What a turnaround. All of them are performing incredibly.well. could not be more proud with their progress. They seem to really like the coco and soil mix I have them in. I'm seeing strong healthy white roots.

So they've all really been performing phenomenally and I couldn't be more proud if taking the transition from Hydroponics to soil so well as well as the change from their soft fluorescent lights to the new more intense LED light under the Big tent. Update I decided to top the gorilla zkittlez A plant. It is vegging so well and so fast that I want to stunt it a little to give the others time to catch up

Amazing. Incredible. An Explosion of Vegetative Growth. I don't know what else to say. She's really outshining the others in the tent, but I also have to remember the significant time gap and stress this one has had.

I am so proud of how healthy all of these are. Just look at all of that veggie growth look at those strong trunks. I'm expecting big things from these girls :)

All doing well. They were remcently watered and is the only reason for the significant droop. Happy to see them continuing to Bush out and grow. Will help make for a nice even scrog canopy

Lots of progress this week. She's stretching and growing very bushy. I like it. Not too tall but plenty of width. I may just run a full tent of these girls next. They REALLY REALLY seem to love topping.

I am very happy with the progress we're seeing this week. Lots of flour site focus and lots of upwards growth and stretching. I did some heavy Defoliation on each of the plants and it seemed to be beneficial to each of the cola sites

Very happy with budding this week. I've been try to get better at proper Defoliation. Trying to expose as many of these precious buds to the stronger light. Folding leaves where I can, but usually removing bigger fan leaves.

Pots of flower growth this week. Seriously happy with the oil and trichomes. They are looking rather than snowy. Looking forward to a plentiful harvest.

Very happy with this weeks growth. So much sugar. I did lots of trimming after last weeks pictures. These girls were flushed yesterday and the smell is really starting to show. Will get some good trichome shots uploaded later today, starting to see lots of milk soon :)

These were quite an experience to grow. My second grow ever and they are great. I loved the way they flowered and how they responded to topping. They absolutely loved it. I would 10/10 grow again. Strong genetics and a very strong high.
