Week 9 Update — Gorilla Zkittlez (Flowering Progress) Dates: 11/17–11/20 Medium: Coco Water Source: RO Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms ⸻ 🌱 Feeding & Dry-Back Strategy This week she only received two feedings as I’m pushing a longer dry back to strengthen the root zone and slow vertical growth. 🗓️ 11/17 & 11/20 Feeding (1 gal each) • 4 ml Green Sensation – PK booster to enhance flower density and terp production • 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom – Adds structural strength, helps the plant handle high-intensity light • 14 ml Coco A – Base nutrient providing nitrogen + essential micros • 18 ml Coco B – Boosts phosphorus & potassium for flowering development • 4 ml Pure Zym – Enzymes that break down dead root mass & improve nutrient uptake • 8 ml Royal Rush – Metabolic stimulant for increased vigor and resin output • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic – Improves nutrient absorption & overall plant energy • pH: 5.8 • PPM: ~1300 ⸻ 💡 Light & Canopy Management She stretched harder than expected late into Week 9 and grew too close to the light. I had to raise the fixture, but I’m officially out of headroom — the light can’t go any higher. • Light was raised as high as possible • Canopy now sits just below the fixture • Watching closely for light stress or foxtailing Despite this, she’s handling the intensity surprisingly well. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Health She’s built like a monster this week: • Extremely thick main stalk — easily one of the thickest of the run • Lateral branches are sturdy and holding weight well • No signs of nutrient burn even with 1300ppm • Dry-back is helping keep internodes tight and reduce stretch I’m genuinely impressed with how thick the trunk got — she’s built for heavy buds. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression Gorilla Zkittlez is stacking nicely as Week 9 wraps up. Flowers are continuing to swell, the plant is still drinking steadily even with reduced feedings, and structure is strong enough to support chunky buds without additional stakes yet.

Tag 22: Die Woche begann mit dem Topping von zwei Damen (nur eine für diesen Report relevant), da diese bereit waren über der 5. Nodie abgetrennt zu werden. Dabei gleich noch ein paar größere Blätter entnommen oben, damit alle Triebe jetzt gut Licht kriegen. Der Rest der Ladys ist heute Abend oder morgen früh dran 😊 Und so war es dann auch, abends konnten alle Damen bis auf die lemon cherry gelato getoppt werden. Im Anschluss gab es Boom Boom Spray zur Erholung. Tag 23: Morgens ist mir mein KI Controller anscheinend abgeschmiert und hat sich selbstständig für gut zwei Stunden in den Pausemodus begeben, bis ich wach wurde und es bemerkt habe bei der morgen Kontrolle. Nach dem Schock und zwei Stunden richtig schlechter Laune noch die Lemon Cherry Gelato getoppt und mit Boom Boom Spray versorgt. Tag 24: heute musste ich unerwartet gießen, da die Ladys über Nacht richtig viel getrunken haben und ich sie nicht bis heute Abend dursten lassen wollte. 400ml für jede der Damen gab es mit ph 6.0 und 1ml/l calmag. Tag 25: heute nichts besonderes zu berichten 😼 Tag 26: du meine Güte sind die Damen durstig, muss heute Abend wieder gießen und dieses Wochenende dürfte es dann auch Zeit für die 20l Endtöpfe sein — Umtopfen ist angesagt 😊 Am Abend wurden dann pro Pflanze 0,5l ph 6.3 Wasser gegossen. Tag 27: mit dem Umtopfen sind die Painkiller nun uns kleine Zelt umgezogen und somit verbleiben nur die Lemon Trees und die Lemon Cherry Gelato im großen Zelt und haben nun richtig viel Platz 😊 Tag 28: Endlich durften die Ladys in ihre 20l Stofftöpfe umziehen. Beim Umtopfen gab es noch 65g GHF Biogrow sowie White Shark mycorrhiza ins Substrat und danach wurde mit 3l ph 6.3 Wasser angegossen. Im Anschluss noch das Licht auf 600ppfd erhöht. Ende Vegi-Woche 2 ✌️ Day 22: I started the week with the topping of two ladies (only one of them is relevant for this report), because they were ready to be cut above the fifth node. I also took off some of the larger leaves, so that all the branches get enough light. 😊 The rest of the ladies should be ready this evening or tomorrow morning. And as I said, I was able to top all the other ladies, besides the Lemon Cherry Gelato, which has to wait till tomorrow. Afterwards they got some Boom Boom Spray for recovery. Day 23: This morning my ai controller decided to go to pausemode on its own and shut down the tent for about two hours until I woke up and made my morning control. After two hours of bad mood I topped the lemon cherry gelato and treated her with Boom Boom spray Day 24: this morning I had to water the ladies unexpectedly, because they drank more than I thought they would. So every Lady got 400ml ph 6.0 water with 1ml/l calmag. Day 25: nothing special to report today 😼 Day 26: they’re drinking more then I expected, I have to water them again this evening and they will be repotted to their last 20l pots 😊 In the evening each Lady got 0,5l of ph 6.3 water. Day 27: my wife’s Painkillers left the tent after repotting and now the lemon trees and the LCG have lots of space to grow big 😊 Day 28: finally I could repot the Ladys to their 20l fabric pots. They got 65g GHF Biogrow and White Shark mycorrhiza to the soil and afterwards I watered them 3l ph 6.3 water and adjusted the the lights to 600ppfd End of week 2 ✌️

Slowly going into flower. I mean real slow lol. It's showed some pistills about a week ago and still you really have to look for them a week later. My veg lights are 5700k and are on 24/7. Guna let them stretch a bit more and flip to my flower light's 3500k and change time to 20/4 sometime this week

2 days into flower still not sure of any males in the mix. Keeping my fingers crossed. The females with the burgundy color show in the first 3 weeks of flower the dark purple veins in the leaves. So hope I get a few of those phenoms.

Week 2 vegetation for the banana purple punch from fastbuds 420. All good at the moment, we are testing the xpert line with these girls. 1ml of master grow A+B 1ml of master root We removed the 2 lowest sets of leaves and branches. We do this because we have the girls in 7 liters and quite some plants together, so i prefer to concentrate on the main bud and only some side buds

This chocolope took to the LST well. The buds have swelled to massive proportions, I am more than impressed with my first dedicated photo grow. I am definitely a dna genetics fan for good!

On day 1 the reservoirs PH is 6.3. The rez is 483 ppm. The girls are looking good and nitrogen toxicity seems to have stopped. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.1 to 6.3. The rez is 477 ppm. Trichomes seem to be 10% cloudy so I still have a bit to go i'm thinking 9 weeks should be a good bet! On day 3 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.1. The rez is 500 ppm. On day 4 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 503 ppm. I lowered the ppfd so my tallest received 900 ppfd and an average of 543 ppfd. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 519 ppm. I removed some of the extra fan leaves blocking bud sites. On day 6 I changed out the reservoir with only tap water and adjusted the PH from 6.7 to 6.1 with a ppm of 249. The trichomes are maturing and I plan on harvesting on week 8 day 4 of flower. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.5 to 6.0. The rez ppm is 250.

Dia 29. Tengo una invasión de mosquitas de humedad. Voy a tratatlas con phitonat plus y con BTI. Por el momento las plantas vienen muy bien. Hice una defoliacion muy grande y dejé expuestas a la luz todas las flores. La temperatura de la solución empezó a subir siendo que ya estamos entrando en primavera, pero por ahora lo tengo controlado. Lo que me preocupa es la plaga, así que voy a intentar resolverlo lo antes posible.

just keeps growing nicely. Can't wait to have some room to put this in a bigger pot. Going to have to shuffle plants around hope the nice weather comes outside soon, need to move some plants outdoors.
