Gorilla Zkittles

First week has gone well. Seeds sprouted in 1 day of being planted and sit about 2 inches tall at the moment. Been using rain water under a Spider Farmer sf4000 light in a 5×5 tent. My 2 challenges so far seem to be keeping temp from dropping when the lights off and maintaining humidity levels within range.

Big growth since last week. Started giving plants nutrients on day 14. Going all organic with this grow as I'm trying to grow the best tasting flower possible. I'm making sure that I don't over water and just letting time run its course at this point. Humidity and temp issues taken care of since I added humidifyer and space heater to room this week.

Day 19 I topped all 5 plants. Very fast growth everyday. Continuing to water every other day with organic kelp. Plants are loving everything I've thrown at them so far🤙 Link of me topping one of my plants: https://youtu.be/LsLsAdEvyzw

Defoliated day 25. Low stress training day 27. All plants have bounced back day 28! Watering every other day with organic kelp ph'd 6.8-6.5 Feeding organic dry amendments 5-3-2 once a week. Will top again soon!

Plants have bounced back for the most part from the hell I put them through last week (topping, defoliation and low stress training) Will start feeding cal-mag twice per week here on out as this strain craves it most of the grow. Using Organic City with Happy Frog Soil so everything in the garden is 100% organic! Continuing weekly feeding dry amendments 5-3-2 with soil conditioner and organic kelp while misting regularly. Watering with illinois rain water every 2-3 days at 6.8-6.5 ph Temps between 67-75 degrees Humidity 55-65% C02 bag hanging. Not sure what it's doing. Don't have much to complain about right now. No signs of burn and trying to not overwater. Would love any and all tips. Much love and good luck on your grows🤙💥💨💚

The plants have finally bounced back from the hell I put them through 2 weeks ago with all of the training. Continuing to water every 2-3 days with organic kelp and rain water. Feeding once per week dry amendments 5-3-2. Keeping temps in check at 70-75 degrees with humidity at 55-65%. using space heater and humidifyer. I'm 7 weeks in and have a 5x5 tent with plenty of room to grow. Thinking to wait to week 9 or 10 to flip to flower to max my yield! Open to any suggestions! Thanks for tuning in and good luck on all of your grows🤙💨💚

Growth really picked up during week 8. Continuing to feed organic dry amendments 5-3-2 once per week while watering in cal-mag twice per week with organic kelp ph'd to 6.8-6.5. The girls have been thirsty this last week or 2 taking in about 1.5 gallons of water every 48 hrs or so. I think the smart pots also dry out the soil quicker. In return the roots are also getting plenty of oxygen which they love. Humidity and temps have been perfect-75 degree average @ 60%. The plants are also loving the spider farmer sf4000 led! No signs of any nutrient deficiency or burn! Will flip to flower within 1-2 weeks. Still filling out grow space to maximize yields. Open to any and all suggestions/tips. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your grows💨✌️💚

Plants have filled out tent in week 9. Still happy with how everything looks. Plants just hit 20 inches. Adding trellis and will flip to flower,12:12 any day now🤙💨💚.

Flipped to Flower during week 10 (2 Days ago). I'm excited to see how these girls fill out over the next 8 weeks. Went ahead and added the trellis today with the plants reaching 23 inches and the canopy filling most of the 5x5 space. Giving 100% organic dry amendments 4-5-4 and pulled off the additional cal-mag as I saw some signs of burn during week 9/10. Watering about 1.5 gallons of water ph'd to 6.5 every other day. Ready to see some buds! Thanks for tuning in. Luv u all✌️

9 days into flower. Water intake has picked up. 1.5-2 gallons of water every other day for each 5 gallon pot. Ph'd 6.8-6.5. Defoliated lower 1/3 of plants on Day 8 of flower. Will defoliate 1 more time at week 14. Continuing to feed Bloom City organic Dry amendments 4-5-4 once per week. No signs of nutrient burn or deficiency. Pretty happy with this over all grow. Please Like below and thanks for tuning in🤙

Plants are beginning to flower and show growth daily. Just ordered a dehumidifier as I'm between 80-85% humidity and can't seem to get it down. The dry winter allowed for perfect humidity levels but spring is already giving me some challenges. Other than that, happy with with week 12 and can't wait until harvest!

Buds are starting to thicken up and crystals are for forming like crazy. As you can see these buds are full of resin with still over 4 weeks to go! I've stopped feeding the plants nutrients all together and will just continue to water ph'd 4.8-4.5 every 2 or 3 days. Cant wait til harvest!

We're moving right along on this grow! Buds are really filling out and they are covered in resin. The smell is of sweet candy and grapes. Can definetly tell she's going to be pungent! Still water every other day or so ph'd 6.8 to 6.5. Completely stopped feeding 2 weeks ago. So going with a 5 week flush before harvest. Again, I went all organic. As you can see the fan leaves are beginning to yellow as well and I went ahead and raised the light just incase they are getting some light burn. Thanks for tuning in🤙

Another week down and just about 2 more to go! Have been flushing for several weeks now and still watering about every other day or so. Checking trichomes daily and still very clear. Will wait for them to cloud up and will try to harvest right before they begin to turn amber. So maybe 3 weeks from what I hear with this strain. 2 plants have a very fruity smell while the other 3 leaving towards the gorilla glue side. Very pungent! Almost an OG kush smell, very sour! Always looking for suggestions for max yield and quality. Thanks ya'll and Happy 4/20💚🤙

53 days into flower. Maybe 7-10 days left before I harvest. Most trichomes have turned milky and just starting to see a few turn amber. This last week was interesting as I found a little bit of bud rot on a colla of my healthiest plant. A growers nightmare right? Of course conserned, I just about took down the whole grow, but I wanted to do my research first. After a thorough inspection of all bud sites I found 1 more with potential rot and decided to just take down the 2 main branches that I knew were infected. I pulled back on watering for the week and moved the dehumidifier closer to the plants. After a few days ALL the buds look great and the soil is nice an dry. I will water just as needed if any until harvest. The smell on the buds is of sweet fruit. 2 plants are leaning towards a more pine smell, almost reminding me of a Northern Lights. I will continue to check the trichomes daily and hopefully will be chopping by next update! Thanks for tuning in✌️

58 days into flower and showing about 5% amber in the top colo trichomes. Will decide at some point next week to harvest and begin a 10-14 day dry then cure. Most fan leaves have died off and the plants are really beginning to show their end of life coming. Went with a full 5 week flush so expecting some tasty nugs from this grow.

So this was my first grow and pretty pleased overall as I yielded almost 2 pounds! Chopped at 70 Days of Flower. 8 days drying at 45% humidty and 75 degree temps. 30 Day cure so far at 65% humidity at 75% degrees in glass Mason jars. Will jar 4 oz's for a 6 month cure👌 Overall taste is more sweet than pungent so I'd say the flavor is leaning towards the zkittles vz gorilla glue. I'm , myself more of a fan of skunk and pungent flavors. More leaning towards OG's so will not be growing this strain again. My light is extremely hot so keeping tempatures in check seemed to be my biggest challenge. The winter months allowed for better temp management. My colas were extremely fat and I found a small bit of bud rot but was able to remove right away to avoid spreading through the rest of the farvest. Other that that i'm pleased as the end result is comparable to a batch of flower purchased from a dispensary! Cheers everyone and thanks to Barny Farms and Seedsman for this opportunity! Off to grow my OG kush, Motorbreath OG, Strawberry Cheescake and Northern Lights😁🤙🔥💚💨
