GORILLA by 00 SEEDS
IM a very new grower. this will be my 3rd grow overall. I plan to get her under lights for a 2-3 weeks then transplant her into a 3 gallon fabric pot. Undecided on if I’ll finish her up outside in a 10 gallon. We’ll see how it goes.
Germination
4/14 seeds in shot glass of water 24hrs
4/15 seeds in wet paper towel
4/16 seeds still in wet paper towel, no tail
4/17 tail sprouted. Seed placed in soil in red solo cup
4/18 under lights
4/27 Gorilla is growing strong. Leaves sprouting and she’s looking good.
4/28 leaves coming along great. Almost the end of week two.
5/3 couple of days ago she couldn’t stand on her own. Had to prop her up on a plastic fork for support. But thanks to my grow diaries fam, she’s back standing strong. Basically, I just laid off the watering.
5/8 after a little scare, shes finishing the week strong. She’s almost ready for a transplant I hope!
Hey Guys, my Gorilla seedling was going just fine till this morning. Weird! I propped her up using a fork n plant twist. Any ideas on whats going on? Hopefully she doesn’t die 😢 ive only fed her water until now. The pic is a day old but now she looks like shes weak.
sounds like it may be damping off due to overwatering. take a look at the base of the stem near the soil. do you see any thin weak spots? if so it is damping off which makes the stem weak and hard for the plant to hold itself up. just about all you can do is not water it for a while and let the soil dry out somewhat before watering again. make sure you arent watering super frequently a lot of the time with a young plant like this you can go 3-4 days without watering. I would feel how heavy the plant is after watering and pick up up to feel how heavy it is every day. then when the plant feels pretty light, compared to when it was watered, it is time to water again. watering using this method makes it really easy to prevent overwatering and the issues that come with it.
week 3
good growth but shes looking weak. the stem that is. hoping nutes will harden her up. nutes start this week
5/11 on the advice of our growing community, I transplanted her to a 5 gallon fabric pot. It was encouraging to see a nice root system tho. Hopefully she’ll pick up some steam.
5/14 the last day of week 4! She’s now 1 month old! Its been an interesting journey so far for this lil gorilla. She started off very well, thriving n sprouting. Apparently too well. She started to droop and get weak. Couldn’t even stand on its own. This was due in large part to being root bound in a solo cup. ALL MY FAULT. I waited way too long to transplant her. The ups n downs of a beginning grower. But with the help and advice of the Grow Diaries community, I finally transplanted her to a 5G fabric pot. Fed her very light nutes. She’s now back to thriving and looks healthy in her new pot. Hopefully I can get her from gorilla to King Kong status!
Looks like i skipped a week and forgot to log a week. 🤦♂️🏽Anyhow, shes 28days old
Droopy Plant about 25 days old
She’s been up n down from the start. She looks droopy. Shes vegging but doesnt seem to be growing taller. Any advice on if its due for a transplant to an actual pot? or is she just thirsty ? thanks all
if it's dry, that could be wilt. If it's heavlily fertilized, it could be too much fertilizer.
3 weeks in solo cup? almost certainly needs a transplant. Did vertical growth stop at some point? Thats a sign the pot is too small.
after transplant, give ph'd only irrigation to set the soil/substrate. Wait for a hint of deficiency before fertilizing again and dial back from before. Those look really dark and crispy unless it's just the photo deceiving me.
it's possible it's a bit rootbound and that is impacting nutrient uptake too... always easier to add things later... impossible to take things out, so be reactive, not proactive.

This Gorilla from 00 SEEDS is my favorite of the tent. She’s A good looker, her buds are forming nicely, and the smell is really funky. She gobbles up all the nutes with no issues. She just keeps getting thicker n thicker! A few more weeks and its harvest!
