12/27 - 1/3:
Another very busy week. Plants are looking great. One of the Gorilla Girls is STILL STRETCHING..she's been supercropped in a dozen places and is still just 9 inches from the lights...
One of my Zkittlez has formed a flower on a 9-finger fan leaf about 3/4 of the way to the top of the plant. It's crazy looking...never seen it happen before..and I've grown many hundreds of plants...
Last fed on 1/3.
@Inganjawetrust, Ya man..I definitely can't afford to illuminate any bare floor!
Right...such a weirdo plant, but she's frosty as fuck, so..no complaints from me!
@rhodes68, OMG..I can't even imagine how big the Gorilla Girl XL's get!
...these "normal" ones have stretched from 6 inches to about 54 inches now...crazy...that's about 900%
@rhodes68, They were a little slow to take off, but have awesome structure and fatass indica leaves that constantly pray to the "sun."
I'm really enjoying the Gorilla Cookies from my last run, so I think I'm gonna like it....
@MrJones, Nah, they train themselves to do that...as long as they are all pretty much the same size initially, and as long as I keep the lights far enough away from them, they compete for who will get the best light, and they end up stretching their lowers too. I supercrop anybody who's too tall, and that causes their lowers to quickly grow to compete for apical dominance. I do use bamboo stakes and tie wire sometimes, but they are propping one another up for the most part.
At the end of a grow, when the buds are really heavy, it's always funny to see how they react to not having their sisters helping them stay upright when I pull them out of the closet...
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 9 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, Oh, hell yeah! Still got several jars of Dark Devil, barely touched either of the Zenzations, and looks like both Gorilla Girls will weigh in at about a half-pound each (225ish grams). One of the Black Jacks is also almost as heavy....and the "little one" is gonna bring in about 180g!!
Whoohoo!!
@Stellarock69, No worries..I flush the hell out of them with a chelating agent and hot tap water before I harvest...at least 8 gallons each, and sometimes twice that. In the summer, I usually put whatever pots aren't in use into a kiddie pool full of sun-heated water and let them sit for a couple of days. In winter, I usually just use new pots..like these...12 of 16 were brand new a month ago. Also, a lot of that white coloration is actually from the dolomite and azomite I amended the soil with.
