Tim noted that Growing in Oklahoma comes with its own set of challenges, such as harsh winters and summers, and a climate that is ideal for pests. Tim and his team have overcome these obstacles by maintaining equipment all year round, having a preventative plan for harsh weather, and implementing an integrated pest management plan (IPM). They grow in soil-less medium and use both powder and liquid mix in the water for nutrients, and spray the plants once a week to control insects and pests.
When it comes to trimming and curing, Tim and his team use a hand trim method after a dry cure, and cure their buds by dry hanging in a controlled environment. The company is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they have a team of 7 people, including Tim himself. Gorilla Gardens grow a few of our Staff Favorite strains including Lemon Skunk, Strawnana, Papaya, and Chem Jong Un.
