Zkittlez Auto (First Grow)

Everything going well. They are starting there stretch and really pushing out some nice pistils. Dropped the humidity this week with a 30 pint Seavon Dehumidifier that has kept it between 45 and 50 percent when it is usually in the 60's without it. It gets into the 70s at night during veg, but this dehumidifier dropped it to 55 tops during the night. Sometime I can get it into the 40's during light out now. Highly recommended dehumidifier. Have been giving 6-8 oz of growers recharge once or twice a week. Was giving them 4-6 oz during veg. Gave them a compost/nutrient tea and top dressed the medium around day 25 of 1 tbs alfa alfa meal 1 tbs of kelp meal 3 cups worm castings and 1.5 tbs of blackstrap molases in a 3 gallon container aerated with a 50 watt pump and 2 large air stones and another cheaper aquarium pump with 2 small airstones. PPM was 400.

Everything seems to be going good. Plan on a nutrient tea consisting of high phosphorus bat guano, kelp meal, and alpha alpha meal and a top dress of 4-8-4 at 1 tbs per gallon with some earthworm castings and a little azomite. Recharge once a week and also watering with 1/4 tbs of molases every other watering. Watering every other day with a light top spray on the off water days to keep microbes happy and not let it dry out too much. Day 47: Added a half of the recommended dose of cal mag into the water today and also added in a 1/2 of the recommended dose of flower fuel. Ph was 6.3 after mixing. PPM was 400. Plan on top dressing tomorrow and then a compost tea on Monday. Hopefully those buds will plump up in its final 3 weeks in flower.

Buds are starting to look real nice and frost up. Gave it a compost tea consisting of alfalfa meal, kelp meal, worm castings, and molases aerated for 24 hours. PPM came out to 650 which was perfect seeing as I also top dressed with 3 tablespoons of 4-8-4 and 12 tablespoons of worm castings. Also fed them with a half of a dose of flower fuel to give an added boost of potasium and phosphorus because the tea would be giving a good amout of nitrogen and we want more phosphorus and potasium than nitrogen in flower. Will give them another half dose of flower fuel in a few days. Also added some nematodes today to combat fungas gnats.

Trichomes strarted to really develop in the beginning of the week and continue to pile on. They look very frost at this point and some of the pistils are starting to mature and turn brown. Still a little ways to go seeing as only about 25 percent of the hairs have turned so far. Looked at trichomes under a 60x microscope and the trichomes are still clear which shows it still needs a little bit of time. Buds are really piling on some mass and plumping up nice. Gave them a half dose of flower fuel during day 59 and now will just water until harvest, which I am guessing will be in about a week or two tops,

Week 10 is here and this girl is just about ready to sprint across the finish line. Buds are really packing on some weight everyday and buds are turning really purple. The buds on this girl are absolutely gorgeous. I catch myself just sitting there staring at them in pure satisfaction for longer than someone would usually consider "normal". They are just sparkling with beautiful crystals all over the place and the different greens and purples and orange and white hairs everywhere are quite satisfying to look at. Gave them a little boost with some recharge in the end of week 9 and I am just going to water heavily everyday for about the next week until they are ready for harvest. I am guessing by looking at the trichomes and pistols, and a slight fade starting to happen in some of the leaves...that she will be ready to harvest in about a week. Give or take a few days. Last topdress feeding was about 2 weeks ago with a nutrient/compost tea that same weekend, so they should be close to using up the rest of the nutrients left in the pot and then using up what they have left stored in the leaves, which should equal a very well flushed smoke. Will stop watering a day or 2 before they go into a 48 hour dark period. Then will be cutting down to hang and dry.

Will be putting them in there extended dark period for 48-72 hours, depending on my schedule this weekend, on Saturday morning. Will be harvesting and hanging to dry on either Monday or Tuesday morning. Trichomes on the middle of the buds are pretty much all cloudy with a few clear on the new growth. Some amber popping up here and there. Smell is getting very strong and you can definately see with the naked eye a clouding of the trichomes and alot of trichome coverage. Plant is fading out into a beautiful green, yellow, and an amazing display of purple all over the place. This girl is truely a beauty to look at. The smell coming off this girl is honestly one of the most amazing smelling things I have ever smelt. Smells like a fruit candy, just like skittles. Can't wait to harvest this babygirl.

These buds are amazing, frosty as all hell. They smell heavenly. Like fruit and candy amazingness. Some of the buds are ridiculously big. The main cola was the size of my hand. Very good strain by ILGM.
