Hey super new here, Just bout 35 days in flower w Gorilla Skittles and Spumoni by the plug, the GS is looking good, had a question I'm getting something that looks like bleaching on a couple buds but it's not bleaching, it's literally like nothing I've seen hoping the knowledge here could ease my mind
Really looks like bleaching. Is that bud close to the light? You. Ugh the want to move the light up 8 inches or more (or tie down that bud)

Hey Guys, so I just got some BF Gorilla Zkittles (as well as DP Lemon Zkittle, Cannaventure Gorilla Wreck and SOS G.G.#4) - I ordered from Southern Oregon Seeds for the first time, largely because they were the only one's who had everything I was looking for. Btw, I have to say it was one of the best online buys I've had in a while, great communication on their end, good prices and FAST shipping, especially considering it's the holidays. I'm pretty much DONE with ordering overseas since there are more and more reliable seed banks right here in the good old USofA ;?)

So I will be popping these this weekend and I'm hoping I don't have that herm problem from the BF beans - I will add that I've had mixed luck with Barney's over the years, I had great success with their Critical Kush and G13 Haze, but their Liberty Haze was a lanky, hermie prone pita. I'll post any good or bad news on the GZ as it progresses ;?)



So Jefferson1997, just curious as to what exactly you mean here - are you saying that your mothers show their sex under 24/7 quicker/better than when switching to 12/12? Or are you just running them under 24/7 until they show sex? I know some people think that switching to 12/12 to sex and then back to 18/6 or 24/7 can cause herms, not something I've encountered, but I suppose it could be a trigger or they were just going to herm anyway.

Running under 24 hours light there is no need to switch your mothers to 12/12 to sex as they will show preflowers under 24 hours light.

Yes 5 of them out of 15 were hermaphrodite
Still got 10 that seem to be okay so far. Day 31 from switching 12/12 with 2 weeks veg
Owch, what is it with barneys and frigging hermies, that's all I see here, I have a free critical cheese but don't think I'll bother

The problem may just be the strain. One of the sites I was checking out seeds said the original Gorilla mother that all Gorilla strains come from was a herm, so it's always a higher risk then other strains.

Alien guy, keep us up to date on that Blue Gelato 41 please, I just got ahold of some but won't be starting them for a few weeks..

Why only two weeks ?? I'm going on week four... Might push for 5
I wanted them down as close to Christmas as possible and I’ve never had a problem with vegging for 2 weeks in the past, I’ve always got a similar yield to plants that have been vegged for 4-5 weeks
Maybe this strain doesn’t like being flipped so early and that’s what caused them to hermie?

I find light leaks are the most usual cause aside from inferior genetics, some strains are just more prone to herm. One time I could not understand what happened and then I found a pin prick in the black plastic covering the window that the sun shone into all day. That was enough to do it for that plant.

I’m using 4 different tents in a dark room and 3 out of 4 of the tents had hermies in them so i didnt think it was light leak. I’ll have to get inside the tents though and check for leaks before my next lots put in.
All the gorilla zkittlez are harvested and dried now and been stored for nearly a week. The smell on the bud is really strong! Like a real nice sweet smell when the jar is opened and then it starts to stink the house out lol
It’s a proper stinker when smoked, the misses has banned me smoking it in the house because it stinks the place out for hours
In my opinion it’s a lot stronger smoke than the blue cheese, it’s a much better head high that stays on you for hours. It’s a really relaxing high too I’ve been getting great sleep since smoking it

I’ve just bought another 5 pack to give them another chance because it’s definitely a keeper for me if I can see this strain is stable.
I’m gonna give them a longer veg this time and that’s all I can think of doing because I can’t see anything wrong with my set up so fingers crossed lol
Your gonna love that smoke! Enjoy
