Gorilla Zkittlez Update - Day 53 (6/04/2025) I've initiated Low-Stress Training (LST) on my three Gorilla Zkittlez plants, and it's clear they'll soon require more space to accommodate their growth. To support continued LST and optimal development, I'm planning to transplant them into larger containers next week. This will provide the necessary room for root expansion and allow me to further manipulate the plant structure. My strategy involves continued bending and training to promote an even canopy. After transplanting, I'll allow the plants to grow vertically for a short period before topping them to encourage bushy growth and maximize yields. The current nutrient regimen consists of Silica Blast, Cal-Mag, and Pure Blend Pro Grow, which seems to be supporting healthy growth. I've also implemented a preventative pest control measure using neem oil with potassic soap to mitigate the risk of whiteflies, which I've noticed in the grow area. This treatment will be limited to the vegetative stage. Let's see how the plants respond to LST and the ongoing nutrient program.

Gorilla Zkittlez Update - 5/27/2025 - Day 44: The three Gorilla Zkittlez plants have made a remarkable recovery and are now exhibiting vigorous growth. Plant #2 is currently leading in terms of development, closely followed by Plant #1, with Plant #3 trailing slightly behind. As the plants continue to progress, I plan to initiate Low-Stress Training (LST) next week to promote a more even canopy and optimize space utilization. My strategy involves allowing the plants to grow until mid-to-late June before transplanting them into their permanent 7-gallon containers, where I will continue LST techniques. Once the main stem reaches the edge of the pot, I will top the plant to encourage lateral growth and branching, leveraging my experience that topping enhances the development of middle stems and branches. Additionally, next week I will implement a water-only dunking technique to support root health, and begin spraying the plants with a neem oil and potassium soap mixture in the afternoon to provide preventative pest management.

Gorilla Zkittlez Update - 5/21/25 - Day 38: This week has seen a notable recovery in all three seedlings following a minor setback caused by inconsistent watering, which led to a brief drought stress. Fortunately, they've all bounced back and are now exhibiting healthy growth patterns. To proactively manage potential pest issues, I've applied a light dusting of powdered diatomaceous earth around the plants. The current feeding regimen, which includes a balanced grow nutrient formula supplemented with cal-mag and silica, appears to be supporting robust development. While progress is promising, there's still a considerable amount of time and care required to reach optimal maturity.

Gorilla Zkittlez Grow Log - 5/12/25, Day 29: Encountered a growth plateau due to inconsistent watering, resulting in medium dry-down. To rectify this, I transplanted Seed 1 and 2 into 1-gallon fabric pots, and Seed 3 into a 3-gallon fabric pot, providing a more suitable environment for root development. Currently, I'm focusing on a consistent nutrient and watering schedule to help the plants recover and get back on track.

Gorilla Zkittlez - 05/01/25, Day 18: Plants are progressing well, and I initiated nutrient feeding this week. Response has been positive, with no issues to report. Currently, the plants are thriving, and I'm looking forward to the next stage of development. Scheduled to transplant into larger containers next week to provide ample room for root expansion and continued growth.

Gorilla Zkittlez Grow Log - 4/21/25, Day 8: Plants are developing nicely, currently being fed plain water supplemented with hydrogen peroxide (allowed to stabilize for 24-48 hours). Recently introduced a small dose of Cal-Mag to support healthy growth and prevent potential deficiencies. Scheduled to transition to a regular nutrient feeding schedule next week, which will provide a balanced diet to promote optimal growth and development."

Gorilla Skittlez Germination Log: Initiated germination protocol for 2 seeds on 4/8/25, utilizing an 18-hour soak in H2O with hydrogen peroxide, followed by placement in a humid ziplock bag with a soaked cotton swab. A third seed was started on 4/13/25, approximately 5 days later. Taproot emergence was observed, and seeds were planted in soil - the first 2 on 4/10/25 and the third on 4/16/25. Emergence occurred on 4/13 for the first 2 seeds and 4/19 for the third seed. Currently, seedlings are being fed plain water with a small addition of peroxide, allowed to stabilize in sunlight for 24-48 hours. No nutrients have been introduced yet, allowing the seedlings to develop without external supplementation.
