Riveting WE ARE BACK IN ACTION (with some upgrades this time)
and experience!
FIRSTLY
this is a HYBRID Outdoor/Indoor Grow
Outside during the day, tent and light at night
Cost saving and nothing beats some good ol outdoor natural goodness along with extras at night to make the most of it all
If you have followed my previous diaries my aim is always to try and stay as natural as possible but I cannot that a tent and lights do good work
Currently at night I am using a 75W Custom built Seedling/Veg Light (Hyundai light bracket with full spectrum marine bulbs)
SECONDLY
We have new soil!
Soil that has been tried and tested by many others - Freedom Farms Premium Organic
Absolutely loving the new soil, even under the microscope... It is airy, I can see the organic additions very well (check photos for ingredients)
The soil does not require any nutrients for the first five weeks.... but I do like Ecobuzz so I added some Rootpro to all my new seedlings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to this specific plant
Okay so this is a seed from Zkittles grow
I have no idea if it is an auto, or male/female... I have no idea what genetics it is going to kick out
SO EXCITING
I will grow her till I see some form of early flowering or anything then I will separate from the other just in case
---------------------------------------------------------------------
First time using jiffy/peat pellets for germination, I will never eve look back. It is really such a simple way of doing things
24 hours in water
then into the jiffy pellet
once sprouted i pushed her into her new forever home
done and dusted
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Watering I am still doing manually and by the eye
Misting a little bit when things have been dry for a while has been doing well, each plant requires different amounts... we will work with that
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This plant is growing strong, like her mom and looks like she wants to be BIGGER.... bless her
She is looking absolutely magic and forming new growth every day
Fresh seeds are quite incredible
---------------------------------------------------------------------
During the day she is in my garden room with semi transparent shading, with some decent sun and heat
---------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all for now, trying to keep my diaries more simple this time around

Riveting While having no idea what this plant was germinated with it was a seed from Zkittles auto from seedsman, she is going to be treated as an auto fem
She is quite a bit older than her counterparts, by a week or so and thus quite a bit bigger.
I decided to top her, this is my first time doing topping and I wanted to see the outcome for myself.
I waited till node 4 and gave her the snip on some small new growth.
So lets see....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Water and Nutes
150ml every time she seems thirsty
Still misting most of the time, to avoid any overwatering
Used the below once this week
First Feed: to power up dat root growth baby
Startgro: everything a young plant needs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weather
We are going into autumn, so its nice to have constant low humidity for a change.
Bit of a cold front the last few days, hoping it leaves soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lights
Night light has been upgraded to a 400w HPS - they seem to be enjoying it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first time growing a photo, I flipped her to 12/12 last week
But I am slightly worried about light leakage
From the photos would you say the flip worked or is it still too early to tell?
Hi mate, she is a beauty. Well done!! She is showing her sex but it is a little too early to see flowering pistols. Being outdoor it may take a little longer to come through but you should start to see white hairs come through in the next couple of weeks or so. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing
Finished my first photoperiod π¬
She tastes flippen epic, maybe even better than than the plant I picked this seed from (FREE SEED)
The smoke is smooth as a lake at dawn and sweet AF! with hardly any harsh cough
The high is almost instant, id call it a banger :D
Its a full on upper, loads of energy and excitement almost like that first smoke you have after not smoking for a very long time... with a good group of friends
She really had some great colouring on her also and
her buds looked magic the last few days
Not quite sure what was going on with her leaves though....could be the semi bastard genetics or something wrong with out tap water
I think the Biobizz did a solid job, comparing it to the previous zkittles and just using Ecobuzz.... and not having a schedule.
But yeah splendid stuff

Riveting So growing this plant was quite a breeze
She fought hard against lockout issues
She responded really well to me topping her and bending etc etc
Was quite interesting with the different light at night, it brought upon a whole new bunch of challenges with it in terms of environmental controls and such.
my only two external issues was thrips and some slight mould but those were taken care of quickly with ecobuzz and a bit of neem.
She was definitely the biggest plant I have grown and I was extremely proud of her
especially since she herself was a free seed from my auto grow and she was my first photo by surprise.
She was also the last plant to be harvested from this grow so she does complete my second chapter.
I am already planning my grow, so lets get to that :P
What a beauty mate. I like growing photos late in the season as they behave like autos, with just a bit longer veg time to bulk them up. It is well into the stretch now. Perfect size mate. Looking very nice bro πππ»
@Shooey, yes she has been such a great surprise!
I have was going to jump into photos after this round of autos... but hey i guess now is a good time to start haha
Shot bud
@Epokwan, Yeah even me
I actually have not yet thought that far, Im still pondering the sex of the plant.
Hopefully it shows itself properly soon
This plants mother flowered about week 6/7
As for the bendies I got them from a shop near me, will give you details think it is grow weed easy or something
@DoDrugs420, You are too kind!
Thank you, I got lucky she only kicked out one banana near the end
This is a seed from my previous zkittles auto which was pollinated by.... Well I have no idea :D
So I was slightly concerned about the plant having a genetic wobble...but she did just fine
Will update harvest page in a few days soon as she is dry
@GODSGIFT_2005, Thank you very much
These bendies are rad, while they don't give you full control of the branch as must as twisties or rope... They do not require anchor points so its nice just to give branches direction
@CelticSmokey88, Hi
Very nice plant you have, I cannot wait to do a gorilla strain as well... but I already have my next grow planned π
Loving the sherbet on your flowers :P
