Gorilla Zkittlez Barney's

Hi Sean, thanks for your comment. On paper, this hybrid really ought to be a very good resin producer, given the genetics, so I'm surprised to hear this. I think one of two things is happening here, we're either looking at a strain that does its main resin production in the second half of the flowering phase, or there's something in the growing environment that is limiting the trichome production. I have read that greenhouses reduce the amount of UV and UVA light that reaches the plants, and these are essential to increase resin production. Another important factor that can influence is the teperature, too high will reduce resin production too. High humidity will also negatively influence the quantity of trichomes. Are you growing any other varieties in the same glasshouse? If so, are they also showing low trichome production? Are all the plants of Gorilla Zkittlez showing the same or are certain phenotypes more resinous? There are so many factors that could affect resin production that it's hard to know what the cause sould be. I hope that helps, best wishes and happy growing!

Alchimia Grow Shop 23-09-2020 Hi Darren, thanks a lot for your comment. It's very true what you say, anything with GG4 genetics inherently has the potential to show some intersex traits. It's a shame but the quality of the end product is well worth the hassle, in my opinion. As well as keeping the conditions dialed in it's also advisable to prune away any of the lower "larf" or "popcorn" buds that won't receive enough light, as this is often where the hermie problems will show themselves. Thanks again for your contribution, best wishes and happy growing!

Alchimia Grow Shop 08-04-2020 Hi Darren, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear you had problems with hermaphrodites in your grow. Be sure to double-check your grow space for any light leaks that could have caused the problem, or any other source of plant stress that could have been to blame. Unfortunately we are unable to accept returns on seeds with hermaphrodite issues like this, as it is impossible to determine whether the problem was due to growing conditions or genetics. Best of luck with your next grow.

Alchimia Grow Shop 17-02-2020 Hi CJ, thanks for your comment. Critical Kush is a very high-yielding plant so it's a bit of an unfair comparison! I've not grown Gorilla Zkittlez but neither of the parent plants are particularly vigorous or really big yielders, especially Zkittles, which is well-known for giving small harvests in terms of flower size and weight. However, these two plants tend to produce much more resin and much higher terpene levels, so really it's a case of very high quality flowers but not very heavy flower yields from this hybrid. Hopefully she'll start to bulk up a bit soon anyway, but I think the genetics of the Critical Kush give it the edge towards a heavier harvest, although the result will probably not be as aromatic or resinous as the flowers of Gorilla Zkittlez. Please let us know how your harvest goes in the end. Best wishes and happy growing!

Alchimia Grow Shop 01-10-2019 Hey Atomic, thanks so much for the feedback, we're really happy to hear that you're very satisfied! I hope you enjoy the results of your hard work and dedication now, well done! All the best and happy toking!

Alchimia Grow Shop 03-09-2019 Hi Nathan, it sounds like your plant is a particularly large and late-flowering specimen. When did you germinate it for it to get that big? The harvest times and finish dates that the seed banks provide us are somewhat of an average for the Northern Hemisphere. We may find that some phenotypes are much faster, while some may be slower to finish. We may also find that plants mature faster depending on the latitude and atitude that we're cultivating at, so it's really difficult to give an exact date for harvest. If it's any consolation, your plant may be a longer flowering example, but it will reward you with a much bigger harvest than if it had finished earlier. I hope the weather stays favourable, all the best for the rest of the season and happy harvests!

Alchimia Grow Shop 27-08-2019 Hi Che, thanks for asking but unfortunately we're still unable to ship to the USA although we're working on it and are optimistic about being able to do so soon. All the best.
