Zkittles Deconstructed

The two plants featured in this diary were bred last year from my Barney's Farm Gorilla Zkittles and some pollen from a good friend that was toying with genetics from Big Bud, Lemon Haze, and Blueberry. Soil is recovered from last years grow, a mix of fine mulch, compost, worm castings, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite and a few other amendments. I top dressed with alfalfa pellets and have been letting the girls take advantage of the soil before the feedings begin. The GZX #1 plant is in a 5 gallon plastic planter, with holes drilled in the sides, and the bottom completely removed, allowing the plant to be able to tap into the natural soil, this also has encouraged the local worm tribe to colonize the root mass, and move about freely. A few cool nights this week. We had a relatively mild winter here in Indian Territory. Tornado season is pretty much here, and with it potentially catastrophic results for ANYTHING. Happy Gardening!
