Hello fellow growers, welcome to my latest journal. Thanks for stopping by.
Some of you know I am on the cusp of moving from Florida to Pennsylvania, where I’m from. This past weekend I went north and played a gig, and at the same time did some recon on where I’m moving to. I can’t get in until my brother and his family are out. I can now see that’s around 90-100 days, much to my chagrin. All my grow stuff is packed up already.
Except for…one 5x5! So since I have the time, I am sneaking in this one last grow before I move. Here’s the skinny:
Tent: (non-sponsored) GGT 5x5
Light: (non-sponsored) G8 C3
Strains: 3x Peach CrescendO Auto Rf3 by Ethos
and 2x Gorilla Zkittlez Auto by 420FastBuds
Medium: Coco/Perlite/Bokashi/Frass
Pots: Either 5s or 7s depending on their size at uppotting
Nutrients: @Prescription Blend (sponsor)
Light Cycle: 24/0 until flower, then 20/4
The very first auto I ever harvested was the Gorilla Zkittlez. That one was Barney’s Farm. Here’s what FastBuds has to say about their version:
FASTBUDS > GORILLA ZKITTLEZ AUTO
Taste real power with the exquisite Gorilla Zkittlez Auto. This genetic masterpiece is the perfect choice for avid consumers looking for a long-lasting effect. It’s a new-school hybrid that comes with a hard-to-describe terpene profile reminiscent of old-school flavors with a delicious fruity candy modern twist, offering the whole spectrum of effects that start as a strong joyful head high that boosts creativity before turning into a long-lasting body stone. This Indica-dominant hybrid yields up to 550gr/m2 of extraordinarily resinous buds in just under 65 days, making it the perfect choice for extractors and hash makers looking for the most aggressive trichome producers in auto version.

Then there’s the Peach CrescendO. The O is capitalized because that’s how the strain name is spelled. It is an Rf3, so it is crossed twice with itself. Officially this strain is:
(Peach CrescendO X Pina Auto)

It’s a relatively new cultivar from Ethos and one they are bragging about. Here’s what they say:
Life Cycle: 75-80 Days
Yield: Medium-High
TAC: 25-30%
Gasoline
Unique Boutique
Pungent Terpenes
High Yield

That got me so excited I decided to pop all three seeds. Including the two Gorilla Zkittlez, all five popped the same day, hit the coco Solo cups the same day, and broke ground the same day, May 13. Today is day 2.
I probably won’t do much here for a few days, when the sprouts begin to be actual plants. Thanks again for stopping by. Let’s have some fun.

Bud description
Absolutely stunning buds. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto buds produce beautiful dark green purplish hues with long and thin orange hairs and so much resin that they end up almost completely white and glistening by harvest time. The tennis-ball-sized buds give off a strong earthy smell with lemon and orange peel hues that resemble sweet n’ sour weed gummies and only get more and more captivating as you break them open.Smoke report
This variety offers a powerful effect that sneaks into your brain and slowly builds up, leaving you soaring through the sky before you know it. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto effects start as a nice relaxation with a strong sense of pure happiness that boosts creativity and will have you laughing at anything. The strong head high gradually fades away and gives place to a long-lasting narcotic effect, while still leaving you motivated to go through a busy day untroubled. Truly an all-around crowd-pleaser.Plant appearance
Gorilla Zkittlez Auto reaches up to 100cm and develops a beautiful structure with an evident Indica dominance that’s easy to see in the robust branching, wide fan leaves, and overall stocky structure. Thanks to the top genetics, this strain develops lots of flowering sites perfectly placed throughout the branches that finish with very little sugar leaves with a gorgeous green almost dark purple color. Yielding up to 550gr/m2 in just under 65 days, it’s the ideal strain for growers seeking the fastest and highest-yielding autoflowers in the market.Grow tips
This variety can stretch and almost double its size during the first weeks of flower so make sure to have enough vertical space to avoid issues further into the flowering stage. If you’re growing several different strains in the same space, keep an eye on this auto and tie the branches as it can easily overshadow smaller plants. When dealing with high humidities always have an oscillating fan that’s strong enough to provide enough airflow in between the buds to avoid mold, bugs, and other harmful pathogens.Flavor
Gorilla Zkittlez Auto offers a complex mix of classic and modern terpenes. This strain reeks of a spicy and woody background that gets buried down by the strong candy-sweet flavors. On the inhale, expect flavorful old-school nuances that come hand-in-hand with a refreshing fruity background that ranges from sweet orange to a sour lemon taste. And as you exhale, the fruitiness unleashes its full power, leaving the old-school taste behind while knocking your taste buds off with the overwhelming tropical gummy bear flavor.Feminized Autoflower
