Maiden seed Voyage for GGD Seeds !

Hi Growmies , I am going to journal thisblady as she is my 1st ever self made seed I have grown. I have dropped bagseed into cups and watched them sprout thenblet them keep over and die off in the past but never an actual Cross i produced. Her father is from a previous grow here , Barneys Farm Blue Gelato 41 who threw out some pollen at 3 weeks flowering and also gave some perfect seeds and pods at 3 weeks flower !!!! Very odd but didnt hermie the whole plant but the pollen hit the lowers of the other 8 strains so I have some very promising cross seeds that look very striped and chubby. This cross is Him and a Barneys Gorilla Skittelz Mother who only dropped about 20bseeds all together. I managed to seperate around 8 more of this batch and here we have #1. There is another cross growingnwithba friend that is killing it so I am hopeful now. So far she has been topped at her 5th and stripped her #1 node only. I plan to 6 way her mains and thicken them with tip spreading . I lived the mother strain for her dense buds and the gelato was going beautiful till I culled her for the pollen worries. The very early harvest( 4 week flowering) had me gutted and shockingly the smokable buds from it had a hit to them that was way better than their age should have had them at. I do think the crosses will be a great combo

This little lady is doing ok so far. taking to her training ok and starting to add some girth. She is a little untidy at the moment but as I get to stretch her out a little , she should tidy up too. She is still behind the others burnt her height will soon catch them. I will flip them in the ext week I hope it she would definitely benefit from a longer veg time as the others had. She is a work in progress at present and the guide for the other seeds I have of this X.

Day 2 flip: Due to the other plants in the room , I needed to flip the lights to flower. I was worried she wouldnt really be big enough to benefit from the flowering yet but ad it is a tester seed for my own cross , I wanted to see the buds it creates rather than a big yield yet. I have about 15 of these crosses that I separated as they popped out and among the many that I mixed together during the panic to remove the offending male, "Billy big bollocks", to stop him ruining anymore of my vestal virgins. The result of the Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is impressing the hell out of me so far. She is a lot younger than her neighbours by 2 weeks in some cases but she is the biggest in her NFT tray now. I have been training her with bends and squashes into a quadline of sorts and I am not dissapointed either response. The below decks nodes are stacking right behind each other's heads and look like they will remain close together. This is a bonus as I have a friend growing another cross of my gelato (RQS Hulkberry/Gelato)that is 1.2M tall and colas from the base to the many tips. I dont have space for any more monsters with the fastbuds testers going wild. lol The Zkittel pheno can go two ways too as I had two different ones in a previous grow that both produced rock solid buds but were very different in growth rate and structures. The Gelato gene is also a lanky lady from her sativa background so seeing a squat ,thick plant at this stage indicates a fat colas short girl is coming. I will be popping a cross in each new run i do as I want to see what I have created here with these and also as I a have always fancied a go at breeding seeds. Have fun and stay safe. be prepared for a 10 day internet loss !!!!. world financial reset imminent!!!!

Its official , she is a lady !!!. I am relieved to see that she is def female and no signs of Nanners so far !. Her stretch This week has been really helpful in keeping her going lateral with mains. She has approx 15-20 potential good mains around her now so once i can get to the 21 day 12/12 point , i should be able to bring the best of them to the final contenders. She is root building like crazy and the tank she is in is dropping quicker now each day. she is definitely happy and healthy . I am glad I use the quadlining as she would be very tall now. she is 2 weeks younger but the biggest in her group of plants !. The Blue Gelato 41 in her wants to go sativa tall but thankfully the Gorilla zkittelz side is just as happy Thickening out sideways. For such a short veg time she is impressive too. Let's see what buds she can throw up. Be Well and safe Growmies

Dayc16 since flip: This little baby is doing me proud. Her stretch and flower production is going very well. At just over 2ft , she should be perfect now as she buds upwards and builds some stacks. Her node spacing is good and hopefully will help form the stacks quicker. There will be a lot of stripping out on day 21 as there is a lot of growth in there . We are going to need some airflow soon. Her flowers are looking like they will resemble the GZ In her genetics as they are nice and compact looking so far. Her overall canopy should be a great foundation for some upwards stacked baseball bats hopefully.She has a ice 6-way manifold to supply the goodies to the potential mains sonal should develop nicely now. I am excited to see how she smells as we go with her parentage. This strain is so far proving stable and no sign of nanners thankfully. Stay healthy and alert Growmies

Day 21 : I had planned to do a 21 day defol and strip her out to encourage her to grow below more but in retrospect , this is not in her interest while she is working the buds . The transfer of energy needed to regrow what I take out will be pointless as she isn't tight for space at all. The height has been kept down well with the LST and supercropping which has allowed the strongest secondaries to become the vertical mains. I am going to be taking some lower scrap out and won't be letting half assed buds take her energy to create popcorn. She has gulped the feeds down with no issues at all and shows signs of being a good yielder. Her budlets are fairly loose structures at present but her node lengths are ripe for joined up big Cola's. She isn't smelling of anything yet and at 21 days I am pleased with her progression. nice chunky stems and plenty of mains. be safe and sane Growmies

Day 28: Happy days folks. hope we are all well and sane still. This week has been a good week for node stacking and starting her frost making it seems. She is a great size to work with now and has responded well to the stripping out of the lower larf and leaf. The airflow is perfect below decks now and allows air to move through the whole canopy and also light to make it through. Her buds are showing her Gelato 41 genetics with their appearance and are identical to the white flame like pistils. She is giving a slight terpene of sweetness and a little diesel too. Her stripping out had my fingers feeling a nice tacky , oily feel to them so she is certainly starting to nurture the budlets. Their golfball appearance is swelling daily and seeing how lose they are to joining up already , holds hope for some long chunky colas. She is approx 3ft now and a good circumference to her too. It is a safe assumption to think she will go the full 11 weeks flowering based on her parentage. The cross of these two strains is so far producing a perfect sized plant for my room and has given me the confidence to dabble in this area in the future I think. Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is a good X and I know from another seed popped by a friend that Gelato41/Hulkberry creates a 5ft cola'ed monster plant. ( pic in my photos) and I still have crosses of Gelato41 and Cookie Kush , Gelato41 and Phantom O.g , Gelato41 and Orange Sherbet to run !!. I am fortunate to have a lot of these new beans now but I also have some amazing sponsored genetics running and some exciting testers still to do ( 9 more fast flowering strains to put through the wringer and try to identify !.lol) . Well that's another week down and only 7 to go for her. !!!!!!! she has a lot of big stacking buds growing time left. WATCH THIS SPACE !!!!!. Be safe people.

Day 35: The Fruity girls has been packing on the pistils this week and also oozing sticky if I touch her( wishful thinking on my amazing techniques.!.lol) . She is very manageable at this size and without the Lst and supercropping, she would have already outgrown my space I think. My lights are at near max height above her now and I think when space under the Mars sp250 is available after the FFT girls harvest , I will get her under there to get even more light into her growing lowers for the extra month I expect her to go . Her genetics from the Bg41 seem dominant and being an 11 week strain to get the best from them, this could be an advantage. I dont doubt this new strain could go big at all. seeing how quickly she took over in size from the majority of the strains in this run had given me a great boost as she is the only one of her kind in the world !!!!!. lol . A very nice feeling and u understandable how @club riot has moved into his own production. She has no signs of any issues at all and I have now moved the dehumidifier back I to the room to push the rh down and make them sweaty with oil hopefully. Her smell is a nice sweet , sickly weed aroma at the moment but knowing both parents , she can only give me a bowl full of fruit and fizzy ice cream come cure time. So that's all there is to ramble on about this week , I hope everyone is safe and well during these controlling times. Freedom will come soon. hold the faith.

Day 42:Well its halfway though the flowering cycle at least now and I thought with the genetic mix of her parents that she would be a full 11 week sativa cycle. Seems I may be wrong!!!!. She is beginning to colour up nicely now as though she is headin for the finish line. By far the the most ripe of the 9 strains which is surprising as she was younger and had 2 weeks catching up to do before the flip. She is even looking more advanced than the fast flowering Tester run in here now. The Gz mother was completely done by week 9 so maybe they will follow her rather than the longer Gelato41 time. She smells very fruit sweet with a slight hint of a diesel/gas. She is really oily to touch now and even low down where the larf would normally be a little pointless , she has put out medium sized buds too. . I am very happy with her whole cycle so far and she has not been slouch at all. Seeing her overtake the race and showing off is a win for me and the Birth of GanjaGrandaddyGenetics ,GGG seeds. lol Have 2 strains of my own at harvest nearly now and the Hulklato I featured in the last update has given out a very good 6 oz with around 1oz of that being larf and small buds. Not too bad for a first seed popped. let's see if this little lady can come close to her cousin. The NFT system has made the grow the easiest "hands off " growing i have done. Only needing to top up the res and leave it till it needed it again has been a lazy affair but to see an old school system like this work so well compared to the many others I have since used , has been a surprise. I dont know why NFT dropped off the radar but for anyone who is new to growing , it is a perfect , easy to set up and use medium. Good luck on all your grows. catch you at the next update.

DAY 49: This lady has took me round the houses this week. She was looking so close to her finishing with so many browning pistils . Thankfully she has now begun her second flush of flowering all over. Her buds look to be swelling a little more now and she is smelling so fruity sweet still. Her ge.eral health is good and she doesn't have any fade going on anywhere from maturity either. She does have so endive sized colas around her now too so another couple of weeks could give her chance to swell more. I have committed the cardinal sin of nipping odd a lower limb to dry and sample her at this point. 7 weeks and she is looking good already. I do think the second flush of flowering will allow me to keep her going a few more weeks as I think she is a beautiful cross. Her smell is really nice and sweet with a definite creamy after thought. I do have a few more of her mums seeds so will see how they fare in a scrog I think are some point. I am so far , very happy that I germed this to try and am Looking forward to sampling it cured.

Day 56 : Well 8 full weeks si ce I flipped the lights and this lady looks so ripe now . Her pistils are mostly orange now throughout the plant. I did get a little second burst of pistils befor e the rest browned off and it swelled them very nicely . Her smell is a fruity sweet but there is also another undertone there I just cant grab at. Will hopefully come out in cure a bit more to nail it. She is nice and sticky now too and has some nice clumps of buds to that are solid to squeeze . I plan to loupe her soon to check her trichromes for cloudiness. She has t skipped a beat the whole grow and will be getting another run out soon. Hopefully next update will be harvesting pics !!!. Be safe growmies UPDATE DAY 61:She is done and out . Yay. I had planned and expected an 11 week flowering due to the genetic mix but she had other ideas. She has been a pleasure to try out and grow and will certainly be popping more of the Fruity Gorillas in the near future. She smells very "fresh fruit stall" at the moment and I am looking forward to how she cures up. I will update as soon as she is harvested from the dried stems. I am hoping for a 1p day slower dry but temps here are crazy at the moment and I cant find a cooler space to dry than my grow room yet. Some new pics of her taken out and trimmed. Thanks for coming along for the journey. Results and smoke report soon !

From thebsed planting to this harvest, I have been impressed with the strain. Seeing the node lengths grow less than her father bg41 was a relief and the solid end to the buds is all gorilla with a gelato smell. She has the potential to grow huge in the right space and I will make sure she has it. She took to training with no issues at all and recovered very quickly. She had less time in veg than all of the other plants but definitely kept pace into flowering. I am very happy with her 3.7oz for a first run out and experiment but the NFT did slow them all a little due to using the Big HUGO cubes to early Thanks for joining me on this maiden voyage for the strain and my crossing attempt. I hope your grows go well and wish you health and sanity. Peace and blessings until next time out
