Week 6: Flowering Stage – Heavy Stacking & Frosting 🦍❄️
Development: 🌿
We have advanced into Week 6 of bloom, and the Gorilla Z is truly coming into her own. The bud sites along the main stems are rapidly widening, thickening up, and knitting together into impressive, long flower clusters. Trichome production is starting to kick into overdrive around the calyxes and sugar leaves, hinting at that heavy resin heritage. The structure remains beautifully balanced, and the plant maintains a lush, healthy canvas while throwing all its vital energy into swelling those tops. 🚀📈
Setup & Environment: 🌡️
Living her best life in the outdoor tomato tent. The plant is perfectly adapted to the changing outdoor conditions, benefiting from excellent natural ventilation that keeps the thick canopy fresh and clear. Her surrounding botanical shield continues to look vibrant, keeping the space stable and naturally protected against unwanted visitors as the buds get chunkier. ☀️🌦️
Nutrients & Water 💧
Watering: Transpiration remains high. I am keeping up a consistent wet-to-dry cycle, ensuring the roots get plenty of oxygen between drinks to maximize nutrient uptake during this heavy swelling phase. 💦

Grower’s Notes 💭
Goal for this week: Support the massive flower expansion and keep an eye on early resin coverage. The topping strategy paid off beautifully—the plant has developed a spectacular multi-cola crown where every top is stacking with great density. This Gorilla is getting ready to pack on some serious weight over the coming weeks! 🦍🔥
