Papa_smurf This is my first grow and it’s being done on a budget, I have been looking through GD and have learned useful information but have a lot to learn, anyway
I have 5 gorilla zkittlez, I used the paper towel technique to germinate the seeds and all 5 popped no problem within 24 hours, put them in the pots on Monday 22/6 and they are coming up through the soil today( Tuesday) so the journey begins. They will only be getting tap water just now but I have canna nutrients to use when needed, they have been started in the pots they will finish in (don’t know if it makes a difference) i have 2 in 20L airpots, 2 in 15L airpots and 1 in just a standard 20L garden pot.
Everything I will be using I either got for free or cheap, the light is new it’s lumi transformer and sunmaster duel spectrum 600w bulb but got that for free. I hope to upgrade for next grow but until the i will try my best with what I have here
No. You need to drop it to between 6.0-6.5 for soil. Or 5.5-6.0 for Coco or hydro. A pH down solution will be required or you will have lockout issues. Happy Growing! 🤟😜
Papa_smurf No much happening just now, changed ph to 6.1

Papa_smurf decent amount of growth this week and seem to have taken well to topping, I think I will try lst on them in the next few days.
Papa_smurf buds are starting to build up now, added pk13/14 and canna boost, would have liked them to have been a bit bigger but not to worry they seem to be doing ok, the temperature is starting drop slightly due to the weather changing outside.

Papa_smurf buds are starting to fatten up now, just wish the plants had grown a bit taller, got a wee bit nutrient burn I think but sure we will be ok, happy at my first attempt so far

Papa_smurf just ph'd water. just wish the grew a bit taller and I think I might have got a decent yield, new slightly bigger tent getting ordered for the next time. I think I will just use clones next time around
@PEAKYPLANTERS, cheers mate, they are not what I was hoping for but they will do me, not going to be much of a harvest but I will learn from my mistakes I suppose
Why do you think they are starting to Hermie? I had a long look at the vid and all looked ok. I couldn’t see any nannas, is their a part of the plant you have seen something that makes you think this? I would expect to see many brown hairs all over the plant if it had been pollinated.
@Esoteric_growing, it just looked like a couple seeds started to form in a couple of the buds mate , I think 1or 2 are ready anyway and will chop in a day or 2, do u think they looked ready, idont have anything to check the trichomes close up
@Papa_smurf, I would wait till the end of week 8 day 56 at a minimum for most strains many going to 9 a bit more. Looks like it’s getting there though pal but I would wait till 56-60 days unless you really see something making you believe seeds are forming.
Good luck on the Gorilla Zkittlez grow! 💪
Might be more beneficial to increase pot size as the roots grow and fill each pot, this i have been told makes for stronger roots as the plant gets older because you are essentially 'training' the roots.
@Chimney_Chief, Thanks, I would like bigger pots but got these for free so will use them this grow and I am hoping to upgrade a few things next grow, I have 3x20L pots and 2x15L pots just now
