Zkittlez Auto

Antenio The plant is growing quite well, it looks healthy, so far there haven't been any problems with the grow and I like how it's going for now 😁. I'm thinking about starting to fertilize next week with Biobizz bio-grow, although I'm not sure if it's too early to start feeding them.

Antenio The plant is growing strong and happy, during the week I noticed it was a bit stressed from the heat, maybe I have the lights too close (I should mention I'm using CFL lights, I didn't find them in the selection so I put FL), but it might also be because I don't have an active fan in the grow area. The next thing on the list is to start with LST next week and also install the odor filter along with a fan to get the air flowing (I have both things, but I haven't set up the cabinet for that yet), the plant responded quite well to the fertilization so it will be good from now on. I'm really liking this plant, you can tell it has strong genetics and it's the first time I've spent so much on a seed, apparently it's worth it 😁 P.S.: Soon I'll take photos of the grow area so you can see the space I have (spoiler, it's not much space), when I have the cables organized and the filter installed I'll show you the rest! 👻

Antenio >>Problems<< It was an interesting week, I think I watered with more water than the plant could absorb (about 800ml approximately), plus it has been quite cold (the growing area must be around 12°C to 14°C at night) and it resulted in a slow drying process for the substrate (almost 5 days have passed and it's just now drying). >>Update<< Despite the above, it seems that for the Zkittlez it hasn't been much of a problem, I see it growing normally and it is accepting the nutrients I gave it from Biobizz quite well. I didn't want to do "LST" yet because I think it needs to grow a bit more. In the next 4 days, I'll see if it grows enough and I'll do LST. 😁 So far, I'm pretty happy with the plant, it looks quite strong and seems to be resistant to unfavorable conditions. I definitely think I'll plant it again in the next grow! 👽

Antenio >>Problems<< I had a little issue with thrips that was affecting the grow, but by applying potassium soap I managed to eliminate the pest. 💀 >>Update<< I'm starting to do LST on the plant, although I'm still testing this technique since it's my first time using it. I'll see how the plant responds and keep adjusting the ties. So far, I haven't had any problems; about 2 days ago I made the first adjustment by bending the plant, and it responded pretty quickly. On 06-08-2021, the first pistils appeared, signaling that it entered flowering. I think the plant is a bit small for how long it's been alive; what do you all think? Still, I'm happy that it looks strong and healthy. 😁 P.S. For future grows, I hope to have an LED light for my plants since I believe growing with CFL affects the final results I can get from them. I'm saving up now to have one for my next season. 😎

Antenio After a trip I took, I lost track of updating the status of the plants, but overall I kept everything just like I did from the beginning. >>Update<< This plant benefited the most from the little LST I did, and the secondary branches grew quite a bit. I didn't have any problems or mishaps with the plant during the period I didn't update, so as a reference, everything is still almost the same. The only thing I changed was the fertilization; at that time, I started adding 2ml of top candy, and that was the only change. >>Comment<< The smell of this plant is incredible; it's like taking several ripe fruits in a wooden box and letting them macerate. The smell is amazing and quite strong for just one plant. Another thing I noticed is that the amount of trichomes is quite high. I'm really liking this strain so far. 😁

Antenio >>Update<< I'm sorry I haven't been able to update this diary more, I've really enjoyed taking care of this plant and the other 2 I have right now, the smell of this plant is incredible, I've never had a plant with such a rich and strong smell, plus the trichome production is crazy to me. I started watering only with water this week since the harvest day is approaching, I estimate that I'll cut it in 1 or 2 weeks at most, many trichomes are still white and I would say about 2% to 5% are amber. I'm sure I'll grow this strain again for my next grow next semester and I can't wait to try it after curing. 👻 >>Problems<< Due to the limited space I have for my plants, I had to do an emergency pruning since the temperature is rising and the plants were suffering from very little space. The Zkittez is a very bushy plant and it was starting to show the lack of space and light, so I removed the biggest leaves I found (I read online that it was a bad idea, but it was either that or mold on my buds). It was a risky decision in week 10, but it seems the plants accepted it well (zkitlez and royal cheese) and they seem to keep growing, especially the royal cheese which is fattening up like crazy. P.S.: This isn't a problem in itself, but it has affected the way my plants grow. I've been using energy-saving bulbs for this grow and all the ones I've done indoors since I started in the cannabis world. I'm surprised I can get good results with them, but I feel like I'm not making the most of all the work I put into my plants. I'm saving up for a good quality LED light panel and I think with that I'll be maximizing my grows. Still, I would recommend to someone who is starting in this world of growing your own weed to use these bulbs due to their low purchase cost and low electricity bill, they have a good balance and you can get good buds with these lights, maybe not the best, but they'll do their job if you install the right amount with the right power. 😁

Antenio >>General Experience<< The plant is quite strong, I would say it's the strongest in terms of genetics that I've planted, plus it's very easy to care for and never gave me any problems. I could say it's my favorite strain so far, although I haven't tried that many strains to say it's better than others. Over time, I hope to find more strains like this one; I loved it! The aroma, the size of the plant, and its strength—I honestly liked everything, hahaha. >>Dry Grams<< I couldn't take dry measurements of the plant, plus it already disappeared, hahaha. I took a long time to update, but I harvested approximately 20 to 30 grams dry, which for me is quite good considering my indoor setup wasn't very powerful. I'm pretty satisfied with what I managed to harvest. 😁
