Monster&Midget 1st grow.

BREEDER: BARNEY'S FARM TYPE: ZKITTLEZ OG AUTOFOLWER, FEMINIZED AUTOFLOWER BACKGROUND: INDICIA DOM SETUP: HYDROPONICS MANUAL HEIGHT: TALL FLOWERING TIME: 9-10 WEEKS CBD: UNKNOWN THC: 20%-24% YIELD INDOOR/OUTDOOR 400G/600G WILL GIVE MY RESULTS ON WET/DRIED WEIGHT WHEN HARVESTED Cannabis Type CBD AUTO 20:1 CBD Autoflower, Hybrid Autoflower, Feminized Autoflower Breeder Fastbuds Setup Hydroponics Manual Flowering Time 9-10 weeks from sprout Yield medium Height Up to 35 inches THC 0.3-0.85% CBD 10-20% Flavor Honey Light set at 80% 12 hours, seeds went in grand. Made a few beginner mistakes. Like pouring heavy water loads straight from cup, overflowed the seed area too quickly. Hopefully they'll still push up. They are only 12 hours in the coco. As I said, few silly mistakes. Need to get nutes made and have pre ready made spray bottles, it's okay to make a batch and hold it up to a week. In this case I only used what I said I used per plant to mix up the nutes. So if I use 150ml of coco A and that's 2ml per litre recommended, then you use .3 of nute to the value of water, same if you only mixing 500ml just add .5ml of solution. I have the fan set up as an intake air flow, so I have that to come on for 20mins and off for 20mins. 1st feed 50ml (per plant) of coco A ph6.4 ppm 440 2nd feed. 50ml of coco b 4 hours later ph.6.5 PPM 420 3rd feed 50 ml of B-52 12 hours in 6.2 PPM 220 4th feed Voodoo juice 50ml--ph 5.8 ppm 350 21 temp solution. Okay so, I'm running into a problem. The coco coir I was left I could get in my tight time frame was from a pet store, and when I pour say 100ml around 80% is ending back up straight on the plate, there seems to be no soaking from this coco coir. I'll post pick of the brick later, maybe I should have given it a good wash, or rinse. Having serious doubts if these hydro seeds will even shoot. And I think the mix is not tight enough down, maybe why I'm getting so much run off. Will update on run-off PH and PPM (update 12/24/2021! Checked run off ppm 2020 but PH 6.15) that's mainly cause the way this substrate retains water, IT DOESN'T. transplant will be done in good canna coco)12/23/2021when I turn them on after there first full 18/6 complete. I have the solutions made up, because it's not soaking up this are going to need small but regular doses of the same nutes for days, I'll try give as exact reading as I can. Just until I can transplant into some decent coco, that's If they come up. So, I went to my grow exactly 24hr (Day 1)since I first turned it on. And we have growth in the CBD AUTO 20:1 in hydro. So, hydros are off out the gate, leaving organic eating it's nutrients dust! So, I'm learning, I've made up many solutions and I'll just have to spray one every couple hour of the same nutes for 2-3 times and change nute, only way to deal with deal terrible drainage issue. I'll just have to baby them until I can transfer to their resting place. (WEEKLY FEEDING CHART)(Day 1) First feeding sprayed into substrate with Sensi coco A will do twice more, hope to use at least 50ml of made up solution on each plant over the 2-3 sprays (solution PH 6.45 PPM 448, 21.5c) Feeding 2- gave her the last spray of solution B dismorning 6.3ph pmm430, 2-3 feeds within 4 hour window 50ml per plant. Feed 3 B-52 50-70ml per plant. 6.2ph PPM 220 2-3 time within a 4 hour window Feed 4, 2-3 feeds of voodoo juice PH 6.4 PPM 78 21c temp Looks like zkittlez is starting to pop up in hydros too, CBD is standing on her own first stem in hydros, organics are still sleeping it off.(12/15/21 update 52hrs growing really well, have to baby them though, lot less fun off after the 48 video, this doesn't mean water absorbing is any better, I'm just doing a lot less watering, on top of what I added I give a total of 8 feeds a day 4 of each nute the last 4 is on the last 4 hrs of the light and it's only about 10ml of each solution. PPM on 48 hrs was still high 2070 ph was a little higher but still okay PH 6.47 This will be my feed chart that I am trying this will be my daily method, so, unless PPM/PH changes, which I can't see happening, this is the only update about feeding for this week. Rest will be pics/results or if any process changed I'll update accordingly, I'll mark the day down and issue. Thanks for reading this week.. Pics and resluts update on day 2(52hrs) and the week coming. Thank you from gottagrowsometime HUMIDITY CONTROL 12/25/21 So, I noticed when the light is on after a while the humidity can get as low as 52% but goes up to around 55 when the intake fan comes on. So, I got a bowl, put it in between the terracotta pots with some hot water and epison salt and when the fan is off it can go up to 67% and 60% after a few mins of the intake fan being on. So, really happy with an easy fix, it stays around 60-65% when lights are off and intake fan on/off 1/2 1 being turned on for 20mins and turned off for 40mins. Small portable fan on all the time, only when it's being charged it's not turned on. 12/26/21 update. PPM on run-off was way down to 720, and it's taking a lot longer and less water us draining off, meaning to roots are picking up the nutes. Well, that's what I take it as, cause before I'd let the run off build up and only collect and measure after 24 hrs to see what volume, ph and PPM it contains, we have 35% less run-off and PPM count is down 1300, but is that to do with less liquid, the same PPM nutes and volume have been consist the whole 4 days, so, take, what you will from these results, I guess it'll show in a few weeks, (oh, and PH is holding around 6.45-5. The organic plants are keeping up, I could actually swear that they are getting bigger quicker then the hydros now. 30/12/21 Update. Looks like there is some small nute burn on the zkittlez og auto hydro. I think I double dosed the liquid and I've none left, and I was pouring the run off build up after 2-3 different nutes, so, EC was probably way too high.

So, week 2, never thought it would come. Plants are doing great, only a small bit of nute burn on the zkittlez hydro. I'm going to lower this week's intake of fluids and instead of 8 feeds over the 18hrs I'm doing 4 nute feeds and 2-4 distiled water at 6.3 ph with a ppm of 78. Only difference is, half way through this week I'm adding to new nutes, Pirana and Tarantula(3/1/22 looks like I'll be skipping the 2 new nutes I talked about adding, waiting on order, they'll get them for the first 2 weeks of flowering). I'll update tonight with D8 pics and the following weeks, any drastic changes will be recorded for you as usual, but for now, it's business as usual. Thanks got reading. Gottagrowsometime 3/1/22 Zkittlez has came out of her stunted growth phase, all I did was to get rid of the nute burn was add a flush to the end of her lighting period and every 3 day she just gets voodoo and small B-52 and mostly distilled water at 6.3 PH 78PPM 21c temp, all solutions are given at that Temp (stem is a bit weak, thinking of making a post beside it for it to grow straight). CBD speaks for herself but again organic in both strain are beating hydros hands down at the moment. But the real results are in the harvest and most importantly the quality of the smoke, I wouldn't worry about getting massive yields try perfect the quality of your grow and in turn you'll learn how to treat and push your plants to get more out of them. This is it for this week as for updates, only the remaining days of this weeks pics will be added. 4/1/22 Okay, so, I said I'd update if I made any drastic changes to the plants. I've added Biocanna,Pirana&Tarantula 2ml/l, PH,PPM coming batteries dead atm. Will update on them tomorrow. I'll only finish this week and then week 3, and I'll stop for 2 weeks and add to flower stage 6&7 I was recommended to use daily, but I have soo many nutes I'm going to stick to the feeding chart. 5/1/22 Noticed leafs are a little dropey, think I over water the hydros. Or the light needs to be turned down maybe. But the organic zkittlez all leafs are standing tall. Maybe it's time to change them into their final 8l air pots. 6/1/22 added sensi cal mag extra today. As I'm going to transplant the 2 2week old hydros into 8l Air Pots by airRAP. Added cal mag cause I'm expecting some stressing, so want to give them their best possible chance of a successful transplant. The zkittlez pot was just closed over, felt very secure woke up today with it busted open, root growth pushed the sides apart, secured it, but clearly its showing signs of room problems. Will try take pics of roots but I'm going to try open it up and just let it fall into its new watered down with voodoo juice bed. Will be adding week 3 tonight. Not liking the coloring of the leafs at all, I have no idea what it is, so, I've increased the air intake from 30% to 80% and changed the time to 40mins on and 20mins off, I've also added a small but powerful portable fan that will run 24hrs then needs a 3 hr charge and back to it, so more or less round the clock air circulation and I'm closing up all windows with its padding. The problem isn't massive but I'd like for them to be a lot bigger, since I've added Piranha and Tarantula, they will help the plants take in the nutes better. The organics are looking good in color, zkittilez, some are showing very light green so they are craving nutes. Seems the supersoil isn't all so super, or it could of just been the lack of O2 I took them reading while fan was running and Windows all closed, hoping increase in air/co2 will help, thinking of getting some o2 tabs that you drop in water and increases O2. or some other method, either way my plants are suffering from something with the dropey leafs I reckon its a lack of air intake. I'm hoping it's the case cause if I'm having nute issues this early and sickly looking plants they will only get worse. Meaning all my hard work will be for nothing. I'm tired of buying weed, and hoping its decent and you can bet its grown in a way that's cheapest and dried and no cure. I'm hoping to change all that, as not 1 gram of my grows will see any money back from anyone nor will it be shared, ITS ALL MINE!! Thanks for reading. Hopefully there will be no more need for updates this week and everything goes well. Happy growing stay tuned for next week. gottagrowsometime

7/1/22 Week 3, Transplanted the CBD as you can see root growth is fantastic, but overall I'm far from happy with the way it's looking, the plant looks like it's sampling it's own goods or something, droppy Lucy I'm calling her. The root growth has gotten so much it burst the zkittlez pot which will be transplanted tomorrow. I'm hoping this extra room/air intake/air circulation will give her just what she needs and a dose of cal mag. Maybe I'm over watering them or not enough water, the leafs seems really fragile. Like crisp papper. And you can see some light color change and some Browning through parts of the vains coming into the fan leafs. Not, looking like I expected it to, at all. Nearing D16, CBD is all dropey. Gave her a very high dose of biocanna let's see what this stuff can do, it's meant to be the be the shit for sickly plants. Will continue with it till she perks back up, but just will be a regular dose of 2ml per l. Her first dose was 80ml with a 16ml per L mix, very high I know, but she needs it. Going to just give Tarantula and Piranha so it will help plant absorbs nutes better. Hoping to see her lift back up over the next 24hrs, I will back off from giving her any more fluids until then. Will continue as normal with the zkittlez. Which is also dropey, but I'm hoping the new room they both will have after transplanted today or tomorrow. And then she will get the same treatment as the CBD.8/1/22 update. Finally good news. So, the CBD has perked right up, after giving her an extremely high dose 9f biocanna and nothing else, she has lifted right up in the 6hr dark period. Hoping things will just get better and she'll grow rapidly this week as she has the room to grow under ground now. Thank christ I thought and done some research on a good nute that works great for sickly plants/transplants and clones. Bit of advice. If you have a line of nutes like I do, get something from another line and give it to your plants only in time of need. This stuff has transformed her in just 6hrs. Look at the pics. Zkittlez will be transplanted tomorrow. Im going to use some bark as it hold mostiure much better than coco, its coco husk not powder/string form. 8/1/22 update. so, to my surprise zkittlez hydro was standing up today, I highered the light dropped it back to 80% and bit of 2ml biocanna and shes hydro CBD now, also roots are sticking out of the pot grate, pics will follow later. Thanks for reading. gottagrowsometime BTW, Feel free to leave comment on advice or experiences. All, are welcome to. Biocanna PH is absolutely crazy. 11.5 ph with the high dose of 16ml/l even with 2ml/l it's still hitting in the high 9,s 9.8 to be exact..PPM count is good 420 660 witj 16ml/l Tarantula&Piranha results to come. PH&PPM readings to come. Root growth is amazing it even starting reaching through the gate and drinking from the Run-Off that's the zkittlez which is getting transplanted tonight. Well, so far, the results are in as of yet, and organics are destroying hydros, by size, quality of grow, color, smell, and they are a fucking piece of cake when compared to dealing with hydros. I water them once maybe twice a day. They've been given 3 supersoil feeds only, think of what size they might be if I was giving it to them say, double that. Maybe they'd be double the size, espicall6 if I were to add tarantula&Piranha. But, as I've said before, the results are in the Harvest. Long way to go yet.9/1/22 Update. So, I transplanted the zkittlez from 1l Air Pots to a 9l Air Pot, gave her a high dose of biocanna bioRHIZOTONIC. Hoping she will stat standing up and made more of a coco husk, it seems to hold mostiure better, cause that's what I had at the end of the 1l pot so the loose stuff and perlite wouldn't fall out and as you can see on the pic the roots loved the bottom of the pot. Hoping she will get as nearly as big as her sister who is huge in comparison. 11/1/22 So, both hydros seem to be coming out the other side, they are standing up by themselves, CBD bottom leafs turned bright yellow early today have her a heavy dose of B-52 and it's more or less come out of it, really should have taken before and after pics but wasn't expecting it to change before the daily photoshoot. Anyways, they seem to be doing a lot better, I think I was over watering them. Only thing I have made a massive change to and it's seemed to done the trick. So I'm going to increase the nutes strength to counteract the lack of water/nutes they'll be getting cause of less watee intake, so I figure I'll just increase the nute strength right? 13/1/22 Overall, not happy with the progress of the hydros at all. Clearly I am not doing something right, they should be double that size. There leafs aren't showing nute burn, so maybe in need to increase the nute amount. I'm going to do this in week 4 cause this is their last week of sensi grow A+B. So im going to triple the dose, and lower the fluids and increase air intake and air circulation. The supersoil grows, well they speak for themselves. With the added benefit of the supersoil/humus it allows for it to take in nitrogen better and letting them start of in big pots without the need to transplant will be a must from now on. Especially when dealing with coco. I'm hoping for a massive burst in growth this week. In going to introduce a higher B-52/CAL MAG/BIOCANNA/ AND ALL ROOT NUTES. Let's see what happens, if they start getting nute burn I'll pull back. I'm hoping for a much better week in no4. Please if anyone has different thoughts please say so in comments, I need all the help I can be offered. Thanks for taking the time to read. Enjoy your grow.

14/1/22 Hydro Diary Update So, I'm going to do something fairly drastic. I'm going to increase the growth nutes 4 fold and lower the fluids, hoping to get some growth reaction. I've tried everything but they are just in no compassion at all to the speed and level of nodes, and color. Maybe I'm missing a few steps I don't know. So, I'm changing things up. I know it's a risk. But this is meant to be the last week of growth nutes, and the organics, well, they are weeks ahead and I wanna do the flip for all and keep them in the safety of the Grow tent. I've laced the outside of the pots and zipper/air intakes with peppermint oil. powerful stuff. Has my eyes watering every time I walk in where my tent is. I also have bug sheets to lay on the substrate after watering and bug catchers to hang of branches, I've also got neem oil if things get out of control to spray the plants. I try to keep opening the tent to a minimum, probably to the risk of the health of my plants, as of neglect as for watering and tending to the hydros, I'd say if I kept more care of them and watered regular they'ed be a lot bigger but who has the time, I think organic/ferts mix will be my next experiment and try perfect the minimal approach but get all the benefits I am now from the organics. Anyways, back to issue on hand, 'Once you get a bug problem it's so hard to get rid of, I don't want to give them any chance at all. Always try keep outside your grow space clean if you do have you Windows off make sure they have mesh nets and have oil around areas where you think bugs may get in. It'll be impossible to stop completely but you can do everything in your power to get your plants as healthy and as big as you can before they have to face any major stresses. Just a my opinion. Anyways here's to a week of new, what more damage can I cause these slow ladies, I'm really hoping this extra poten juice they will be getting will kick start them they way I need them to this week is the make or break it for the hydros. Cause they are running the Risk of being transplanted into supersoil, I know I said I'd run with it till the end, but, well, yeah, they take long enough to grow I DO NOT WANT TO BE PULLING 7GS OF A PLANT. ITS NOT WORTH THE TIME OR EFFORT. Let's see what this week brings. Pray to the cannabis gods. Anyways here's the pics. Slight improvement but nothing close when compared to the organics change. PPM and PH count as always will be given from run-off and I usually say look back to week 1 for individual PPM and PH READINGS but as this week that has changed I'll update on all the nutes ph/ppm for this week tomorrow. For now readings are from last week's testing which was taken 2 days ago, showed more or less the exact results as the week before PPM count was down 50 and PH down by .5 15/1/22 Well, to my surprise, I'm actually getting some results if all a little slow, it's starting to mature slowly. 18/1/22 Decided to top both hydros. For some reason both hydros this week have grow about an extra 5 cm between the 4th and 5th/6th nodes, maybe it had something to do with the extra high dose in growth they got. Am moving them to bloom this week. I know they are very skimpy looking but they are growing colas all a little slow compared to the Organics but in turn the organics are very small and bushy, defo going 5pot set up with what I did for the organics and doing scrOG, 100%. Now if only I can figure out how to make my organic TDA taller instead of being bushy. But well I want them a lot more busher than the hydros are right now, looks like the bitches have been starved skinny. On the other side I have to fat stumpy girls. Why can't I get a tall filled gal. Some colas to be grabbing, lol. Hopefully i can do this wit the TDA. She seems to be suffering though from overfeeding and a few nitrogen issues I think. See, I didn't add the Westland Cacti to the TDA so I've had try supplement it with Sensi coco bloom but clearly I haven't the right tools for the job. As the soil I did use, same one in the other organics just missing the cacti, which is fucking perfect for plant growth btw. All I have added was my supersoil formula and voodoo juice for root growth. And only once I overwatered them. But other than that no problems so far, but I've a really strong feeling I'm going to have to start adding some sort of nute cause the cacti only has a shelf life for a couple of weeks and then the goodness will be used up. 20/1/22 The hydros seem to found their roots, still far behind their sister organics but none the less they have at least doubled since deciding to heavily dose with nutes and give regular water feeds more often this week than I have before, I didn't nute burn them, just leads to my suspicion that the drainage is just to easy, I'd say adding some neutral clay so it can hold water will be a 100% surety if I decide to go hydros again. But that being said, as stunted as the hydros are they do look healthy, so I'm getting the balance right. Anyways, that's all folks for this week's other than the update regarding PH/PPM readings and the rest of pics for the rest of the week(21/1/22 I took the run-off and got the PH/PPM that was from the entire week. Results are in the weekly update) . Next week should be fun adding a whole host of new nutes. Stay tuned thanks for visiting my diary. Gottagrowsometime

22/1/22 Week 5, Here we are at a new week, I'm very worried about how my plants are going to take all these bud ferts and so on, and also bloom part A+B since their colas are soooo unmatured compared to their sister strains organics. Only 1 or 2 colas have actually grown a bit, but for the most part, they are already showing bud sites. Meaning they have very very few bud sites. I have no idea if it was the growth nutes or the fact their might be root trapmeant. Well, that's my opinion. I've no idea why else, I didn't use the grow nute on the organics, and they have grown nice colas with multiple bud sites. I'm really at a loss as to why both hydros are exactly the same, clearly I missed a step somewhere? If any one has any explanations as to why my healthy looking plants have not grown colas as they should have, please comment below. There really is no point in continuing the course of grow A+B nutes. So this week I'm introducing a lot of new nutes. And switching to bloom part A+B continuing with B-52 voodjuice up until a week before flush. Tarantula and Piranha I will give for another 2 weeks. This week I'm adding bud candy, rhino skin, bud ignitor, bud factor X, I think that's it. In weeks 3&4 of flower I'll add nirvana which I should of added in the 4 weeks of growth but I was nt reading the professional chart and in weeks 4&5 of flower I'll add overdrive, week 4/5/6 I'll add big bud coco. So, I was going on the basic chart not knowing I had crucial nutes on hand that possible would have made a massive difference. Lots and lots of beginner mistakes, but, hey, you don't learn until you try and if you fail it'll only lead to success on your next grow, don't be afraid to ask questions, it can be daunting when you are starting off, I hadn't even a clue when I heard about taking off fan leafs, (defoliation), I was like WTF are fan leafs, (they are the leafs that grow beneath the new stem/cola that will produce your bud sites). Very simple but to someone new, it might be daunting. Go threw my diaries, believe me, I have made all possible mistakes that can be avoided by reading my diary. Thanks for reading. Will update more this week. PH/PPM readings have been from last weeks results. The end of the weeks course, I will update PH/PPM from the run-off. Thanks for reading. Bookmark me if you'd like to follow my sucess and failures and real results. The hydros are coming along, not the way I'd hoped, liked or intended. I've learned 1 crucial thing and that was that I had my light turned up too much. I have all the tell tell signs, small to non-existent internodes/ browning of the stems/ stunted growth and droopy leafs. Lesson learned, less is really more in the case of growing, especially when you have a good light in a tent. I'm just chalking up to a learning experience, I'll know for my next grow what to do. And I'm not expecting bad bad results maybe in the 20/25g dry weight. Even that might be a stretch I know. But I've added a whole host of bud exploding nutes so lets see what happens might surprise me yet, but I doubt it, I can already see it's shape and unless I wake up to find it doubled in height and twice the nodes then probably more in reason to expect 15 to 20 at most. But if I can pull that off all 5 plants then that's at least or close to 100g which I'll be more than happy for a 2x2 25/1/22 Done some LST. Not much more to do tbh. The CBD just needs to be watched and the wires for LST will be adjusted as time goes by. Doesn't look like there'll be much more need for defoliation. We'll see. Zkittlez on the other hand is growing colas much better and you can already tell she will yield much more than the CBD but no where near as much as her sister zkittlez organic will have. The light is very close to the CBD she is the biggest by at least 10cm. I'm going to raise and the light 15cm I can't go much more than that as the other plants have to catch up. If I have to I'll let this plant suffer some light burn on the top bud site rather than slow down my other 4 plants growth because the light was too far away. 27/1/22 So, got the results from this week's run-off. Not bad for all the extra nutes added. PH 6.41 PPM 1040 gottagrowsometime

29/1/22 D35.5 Week 6: Hydro grows are going ok I guess. Still early days. Not much to do but a little adjustments to lower PH and increase EC which were also taken 3 days ago with a lot better results compared to this run-off test. Well that run-off had a massive increase in nutes or got more care and attention. But, no nute burn, leafs aren't drooping, no signs of deficiencies, so, overall I'm very happy with these results. No need to do any more defoliation, maybe some more light LST. Think I will give 'em both another 18/6 and then switch 'em to 12/12. (NOT TO DO WITH CURRENT, BUT FUTURE GROW) I've already got all my stuff ordered for my next grow. I've got to different setups. Ones DWC and the other is drip fed from a reservoir and run-off pumped into a storage tank to either reuse or discard. Both set up are 11l buckets res is also 11l and holding tank for run-off is 8l I think. All run-off 25watts combined, with dehumidifier which will be 50watts and a 100watt light 10watt fan and 25watt intake fan which is all a very low 210watts. And that's running my light at 100% which I've still yet to do, had set at 80% and even that was too high @spiderfarmer set-ups rock. All fits inside the 70x70 fine, even got room for a dehumidifier/wireless fan. Considering ordering another 70x70 or even a 100x100 tent and swap plants out once they get bigger and I switch to 12/12 and just keep the 100watt running 24/7 and just swap plants or even swap the light over which ever is easier. All about your bottom line when growing your own smoke, as the whole point of doing this is to stop giving drug dealers money and hope you get decent smoke and even when it is, you know it could be soo much better as I'd say there is hardly ever any cure and if so, it wouldn't be for a month. Pics will be added for the rest of the week and another Run-off reading as I'm going to increase the ml/l strength of all nutes. (IF YOU NEED RELIABLE FAIRLY PRICED PH/PPM/EC/TEMP PEN) Oh, if you want a good ph/ec/ppm/temp reader that you can actually trust pm me and I'll give you the details. That one only cost me around 40$/30€/25£ I bought a double set with all these features above and my god they were crap. With this one, I test every couple of weeks with 3 different types of the PH buffers, I'd recommend that you buy at least 2 ph buffers as the ones you get with your device is only enough to calibre it. And you defo need to know that your PH pen is giving you the right readings. With this one, you can even do soil. All you do is get distilled water and take a piece of your substrate and mix it with water and leave it for 20mins and you'll get a rough PH/PPM it's so accurate, you DO NOT NEED TO SPEND $250+ on a Hanna device, but, hey, if you have the money get one. I've read they last at least 2 years. The seller says this pen is accurate within .5 but mine's around .1/.2 out at times if out at all. 30/1/22 So, I am not overall too happy with these grows. I think drip or DWC is a must when doing coco. With time being a factor for me, and work. For at least 9hrs there is no liquids unless my neighbour is in, and she'll water my girls. She'll gets some smoke out of it, so she's happy. And the money it's going to save me, minimum a €150 week. But yeah, I'd strongly recommend doing some sort of drip or DWC or even get some light soil mix, that alone will stop the need for 10 waters a day. Which is crazy and you run the risk of exposing your tent to pests when it's open. I'd also advise if your area is a problem for bugs, doing any defoliation or even the Grow itself will be like ringing the dinner bell, so, be prepared. Get bug catchers. Peppermint oil to rub around outside of lids of pots and drop some cotton balls laced with it and do the outside of your tent, the areas that you think bugs will travel over to get into your grow. 2/2/22 The zkittlez is starting to catch up on height with the CBD. It has more potential bud sites. As for the organics they have, I'd say triple if not more bud sites. 3/2/22 Brought my light up near to the desired 30cm for hydros. Only thing now is I'm gonna have to find platforms to raise my lower plants, the TDA is over 50/60cm away. Which is way too far. Zkittlez Hydro has matched CBD for height they are now the exact same size. And I'm thinking zkittlez is only in the middle of this growth. Every 24hrs she gaining 2/3cm. I've decided to increase the air intake up to 70% for 100% of the time. It's clear just in the past 12 hrs of it been on I can see clear extra growth. I've also decided to double the strength of some nutes. Will be doing another Run-off test for PH/PPM=EC 4/4/22 Done a run-off test for PPM/PH surprisingly it was very very low. Results are in diary pics. Zkittlez:850ppm/6.47ph CBD: 550PPM/6.71PH. But I gather that's because of the likes of voodoo and that. Zkittlez seems to be turning the corner. As you can see in D38 she looks a little small then look at the next pic D40 and you'll see all colas took at least a 8cm growth bringing the rest up to a even canopy. She is the biggest plant by height and I'm starting to bring her out in width. Thanks for reading. gottagrowsometime

7/2/22 D44 First week of flowering YAY. Turned the light up to 100%. Switching to 15/9. Hydros are going along nicely. Starting to get some frost on CBD. Zkittlez Hydro is really starting to fill out. Going to continue on with the feeds as they are. D44.5 was looking at the run-off plate and noticed the solution below the watermark left from the coco dust, and to my surprise I noticed a complex root structure drinking from the plate. So no more run-off lol. Just gotta be really careful now and not be doing any crazy nute feeds. I know I said I was going to get into DWC but I had no idea it was going to be this early D44.5 decided to do some defoliation on the zkittlez hydro. Took nearly all of fan leafs. Left some of course. New mix, added Nirvana. PH is at a more normal level, more or less perfect for coco. Zkittlez Hydro is downing 500ml of solution a day, gotta be really careful with her PH and more importantly her EC/PPM. So will constantly make check her PH/PPM since I won't be getting any more run-off readings from Zkittlez Hydro. 12/2/22 Decided to do some HST on the 1st set of nodes, I know this method is not really used on autos. So I decided just to try it out on CBD HYDRO to see the results if any. Will update on any noticeable changes to the nodes from doing this.

Flowering Week 8 D50. Done HST on the first set of nodes and 1 node on the 2nd set of the CBD. Reason I didn't do the 2nd node on the 2nd set cause I want to see the comparison as both bud sites were more or less the very same size before HST was applied. I know, HST it to be desired on autos. But it's only on the lowest nodes and I'm thinking they'll have well enough time to recover as I didn't do the whole plant. 13/2/22 Increased the PPM by 100 and will continue to do so right up until flush. 14/2/22 Done a measurement on both hydros. Zkittlez is growing at an alarming rate, if she doesn't slow down I think I'm going to have a real height issue. May even lead to me having to get a larger tent. She's topping out at 55cm that 15cm in 7 days folks, her organic sister is just hitting 40-43, CBD's on the other hand has barley moved in 2.5weeks, hitting just 42cm her organic sister is larger with 45cm. All plants with the exception of CBD HYDRO has been getting bushier and taller. Interesting results. 15/2/22 I'm gonna have really problems if Zkittlez Hydro keeps growing the way she is, she should be focusing on producing flower at this stage she well ahead in ways but behind in other crucial ways, I'm putting it down to her starting her own DWC cause right up until 2 weeks ago she was a runt. And now she's outta control so to speak. I'm going to have to start making spacers for the top and start stringing string up around the top 4 bars and start doing some LST outwards on top. Cause if I don't I can't see it helping THC/BUD production. Maybe if I do some heavy defoliation it will start to put her into flower? 16/2/22 Dunno what I'm going to do with the CBD hydro I'll have my microscope this week and will ask is she ready to harvest. She hasn't changed in a week. 17/2/22 PROBLEMS. Looks like I have been hit by "the claw", and no, I did not name this. This is what it's called. It's when your plant is showing signs of stress, it happens more in autos rather than phenotypes, I'm assuming this is down the fact autos have such a short life, and can run into these problems I'm going to list, even though I'm 95% sure what my issue is, that might not be the case for you. So here they are, if you need more help please message me: Nitogen Tox, wind burn, overwatering, underwatering, too many nutes leading to; nute lockout, just too many different diverse delivery methods of the same nutrient, cause the plant the lock that nute out, this is a very rare case, as we give our plants the likes of micro enzymes to break down nutes and help uptake. Drainage is too good not allowing enough water to be trapped, Magnesium deficiency, light is too high. That's really all I can think off. Mine is a case of 2 factors and also maybe a 1/3 with the plant been done so early, just ready to chop, but I doubt it. I'll that by the end of the week, waiting on microscope. I did do a run-off test and it 2300 PPM. Should not be that high, meaning; nute lockout. Too many nutes causing lockout. So, for the fix, I've flushed the plant twice and even on the 2nd 5l distilled water the PPM was still 12-1500 I think. But, then I decided because I have not drained the Zkittlez plate in over 2 weeks I checked her PPM nearly fuking 8500ppm I nearly dropped dead. Had a close look and she is also showing very very early stages of "the claw" pics above^. Some light nute burn but because the lockout was soo bad, it's why I'm starting to see that horrible light green color on the zkittlez. Fix: flushed twice. Am taking 3 nutes off the chart. And doing 3 nutes a day then changing the clearing the run-off, doing a flush and starting her on her new 3 a day. Hopefully this will fix her. Fix 'em both CLAW UPDATE: With my plant being so close to harvest, I'm not all 2 worried about this. But, it would be great if I can fix this. I've added extra mg after 36hrs of flushing and started back on 1/3 NPK+MICROS+ SENSI CAL MAG EXTRA. Thinking I'm gonna cut most of the nutes out and focus on bloom boosters and sugars. Either way, it's gonna be possible the worst harvest to date on this platform 😂 Thanks for reading, Ha messaged fastbuds and they just said its the luck of the draw. Will update with pics on the tricks. 18/2/22 lots going on this week. some early sign my plants are running into trouble, well my hydros to be exact. Think I've figured it out. Ordered airports and there were way too big. So, I used the base, which fit in the lowest groove on the inside. But I made the pot itself smaller by folding it over into a cone and then used ties through the end of the airpot holes into the base mesh, but in doing so, I left the 4 molded stand holes on the outside with some of the pot going over and roots had grown into it and from weeks of run-off it clearly built up with salts and so on and was drinking high EC/salt built up water. That and the run-off from the plate was 8500ppm, which is crazy, so the roots were drinking the water and leaving nutes behind or somehow it built up on the plate from being stagnant water, only reason I can think why the PPM would be soooo high, and the readings are correct I checked with a superior friends ppm/ph 300e meter and I got the same ph and ppm was 8550 50 PPM more (early signs are a foresight into future problems with your plant, signs to watch out for, "the claw", nitrogen tox"discoloration on the backs of leafs","burnt tips", odd coloring of the leafs, browning stem, which is the worst that can happen, google for more info on that, but you will see signs of the claw before any deficiency like magnesium comes up, so if you watch out for signs of "the claw" pic above, you are in with a chance of fixing it, it can also be caused my many other issues that I go into above ). So my pen is good. Drmeter, btw, PH PEN MUSTS; you have to store the diode the part that reads the PH in a buffer solution.( buffer 4ph-7ph.), dont usectap water as the chlorine and that will ruin your readings also. Otherwise after a few weeks you won't get proper readings, do this unless stated otherwise my manufacturer. Report and results on what was done this wk. Well it's been one of my hardest/busiest weeks with the hydro. I noticed late stages of "the claw", so I went through a few things and figured it was nute lock thanks to the CBD I saw early signs of the claw on my zkittlez hydro and done a PPM reading from run-off was 8500 so the roots drinking from the plate were just drinking the water and leaving the nute behind. Flushed 3 times over 24hrs 6.3ph distilled water. Restarted her on her nutes but instead of making a mix I broke it down into 3 different mixes adding micro to each they all stayed around 1400 when being poured on. 3 days later I checked the RUN-OFF and it was in the low 500s 510ppm to be exact. So Nitogen tox is gone, aswell as light mg def that had started to show I think, it's also gone and nute lock, the claw has stopped on both plant so a hard wk but a success all the same. Happy Growing, stay safe gottagrowsometime

Week 9 D67 took a few nutes away going to start focusing on bloom nutes like bud candy, big bud, bud factor X. Lowered the bloom nutes to 1ml/l a B-52, but increased bud candy, big bud, bud factor x by 1ml to 3ml/l. Also added overdrive to my CBD hydro another 2-3 weeks for Zkittlez think she'll be a 13 weeker I'd say. CBD will be on overdrive another wk as I started her mid last week. Maybe push her to 1.5 then onto flawless finish for a week. 21/2/22 So, my goodies arrived. I think maybe the 30x micro would have done. I got a 60-100x it said it was designed espically for cannabis plants. Very very good though. Once I figured that the plastic guard with the hole you rest that on the bud, lol, me like a dope was a little away and was going all over the place that and I kept seeing my eyes lashes, gosh I keep forgetting I'm this green/new to this, my first thing to do was blame my tools, which worked perfectly. Man you can see everything. You can zoom in on 3 Trichomes or a whole punch to get % clear/cloudy or amber. And the 100x is great you can actually see some clear ones turning milky into cloudy. Atm it's still very early days to my surprise. At least another wk. 30% cloudy 10% milky 50% clear and around 10% amber. So, really happy with my CBD hydro, yeah, I wish she was nt a dud of sorts and took her shape after wk 4 and hasn't changed but just about 10-15cm taller and buds have gotten bigger by around 30% in the last 10days. Hopefully another 30% more before harvest. I'd say 2 more wks. Then into the drying tent for 7 days or until I feel its the way I want it. You should always leave around 5-10% of mostiure in your bud. 5% is best. But you'll get away with 10. If you completely dry it out, it'll lose it's stickiness/smell profile will become weak/and possibly even less potent but that's in the eye of the smoker. Dry your bud but not to the point that it break down like sand if rubbed together that's bad. There should be some squeeze/ bounce back from your bud. Like a sponge. Leaving some stickiness on your fingers. Yes, it's down to pref too, but be sure not to dry to an extreme. And rotate buds and clearly any larf or airy bud/popcorn buds will dry quicker. 23/2/22 CBD hydro going well, no growth in height, but I knew there wouldn't be, hasn't be hardly any in 2 wks. Putting on bud mass though, maybe 15-25g dry, on the other hand CBD organic will give a shot load more. Zkittlez hydro, well she's a different beast completely, hasn't stopped growing, lil concerning, it's very hard to regulate the temp where I live. I love the fan up so the cold air blows in on top, as helped the driver of the light cool down. Gonna increase bloom nutes the readings above are for the CBD hydro. Zkittlez is still on 2ml/l and not on overdrive yet. Happy growing. Report and results from this week, plans also for next week coming to close to harvest for CBD hydro so list of nutes is dif, I've listed once ones I've cut out: CBD hydro is coming along, it seems HST in such late stages does not increase bud mass, but in my case the plants node that was done compared to the same node on the same set the one that HST was not applied to grew about 20-25%bigger prob even more. And the full HST 1st set hasn't really grown but on the other side it's completely forested out way more trichomes and wayyy more potent and sticky. Also they are 70-80% cloudy none clear or milky, the rest amber. But on the sites where HST has not been applied it's only 40-45% cloudy 15%milky some amber and the rest are like clear rain drops. I'm keeping her on overdrive for 1 more wk plus the usually sugars,cal,bud candy, bud factor x, & micros and a lower dose of bloom a+b the root stims, big bud, rhino skin voodoo juice, tarantula will all be cut from her diet. I do they know why this plant stopped growing and taken shape it just hit me when I was cleaning the Run-off. CBD hydro weights like 5 times heavier than zkittlez, I'm nearly sure there was/is some form of root trapmeant, and the roots could only go so deep, I used coco husk aswel as the coco brick with the zkittlez and the mix isn't as compact, so I'm nearly 100% sure when I open it up, I'll see how the roots couldn't expand. Only think different that will happen to the zkittlez is she'll go on overdrive aswel as everything else. Not much has been done to her this wwek she has taken amother 8cm stretch, but gladly in the last 2 days it as almost came to a stop, I increased the sugars and lowered the overall NPK and increased cal to help promote flowering and half growth a little, seems to be working so going to give her a little cleaning up, (defoliation, leaf tucking), she's looking very unkept. Thanks for reading this week gottagrowsometime

Wk 10 D72 28/2/22 Dry missed a few days folks. Here are my updates. So finally zkittlez has slowed her growth. She still put on close to 15cm this wk but that was mainly the last few days of last wk. Has slowed down like by 50% has started to push out more pistons which are a happy sight, but formation and expansion is happening all over the place, fun times ahead for zkittlez hydro. She has even started to fill out some, took a few fan leafs that were getting caught up and blocking light from reaching underdeveloped bud sites, still a ways to go, also with the spike in RH some defoliation will help. I put them it into overdrive, I know it's a little early but I plan to do her on overdrive for 3 weeks with there been so much growth and room for bud expansion. CBD hydro. Well that's another plant altogether, again, I already know why she turned out the way she did, as if she was grown in a 2-3l right, well that's cause more than likely that's the case, when I was giving a tip about not banging the pot down with coco as it gets to compact, well I didn't do that, but I may aswel have, it only clicked when I was cleaning the Run-off from wk 8 that the weight of it compared to the zkittlez is like 5 times heavier, no joke, so I fully expect when I crack the case on that Air-Pot I'm gonna see nothing but root trapmeant. Im assuming thats why the HST parts stopped growing you need to have root room when applying HST or at least give your roots full access to the pot not a 1/3 of it. Anyways it is what it is, 10g dry will be fine, it's frosted as shit, 90% cloudy 10%milky and whatever % amber lol. Idk it's hard to tell big parts of the bud I have to scan through it with my stupid 60x-100x micro, perfect for trichomes yeah if you wanna see 10-20 at a time it is 🤣. But a bit of bud scanning and there's no need to look twice you know what cloudy or turning cloudy, (milky) and what clear they are like rain drops when you go in 100% and the hairs. Great for looking at little holes and making sure there not nute marks. Anyways, CBD has started her week on flawless finish, then a 36hr dark rest period, then harvest, then drying tent. 28/2/22 Really looking forward to how this zkittlez is going to work out. It's a toss up between fully laided colas with dense buds or we will have a popcorn bud bomb, I hope that won't be the case, I'm just really worried with the lack of energy, (leafs), to transform the plant, whereas down below she's like a mini forest. Maybe if I strip the lowest unmatured growth giving the top the best chance. Yeah I'm going to do some tree surgery tonight and take some nodes, (new growth). As this growth is so far behind I'll have to do it in a 2 part harvest, meaning the cutting key nutes early, key nutes that will be needed to keep the unmatured sites on track, so, really there is only 1 good option. And that's to do some stripping, :-(. Oh, zkittlez has completely taken over from the smell of honey, she's a strain that will for sure need a cure to bring out that somewhat evasive scent that lays behind the overwhelming smell of an earthy grow somewhat but on a close smell inspection you can smell some sort of citris pine smell, idk what it is to be completely honest. I just know she's dominated by an earthy even slightly musty smell. I miss the smell of honey, come back CBD lol. If the hydro zkittlez goes the way I'm hoping it'll be a f...ing killer harvest 150-200g+ dry grams but it might go the other way and give 50-70. As for the organic I can happily say she'll give 50+ Dry grams. Decided to higher the P-K by about 300%. Really I should have done this when it started to flower but I only learn the more I read and then verify at least twice more cause you can find just about anything online that contradicts what you just learnt. I will post links to the sites that I've learnt from. They haven't put me wrong yet. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Well, it's kind of very hard to see what this strain grows like under the right set-up. This grow was not started nor transplanted right, not allowing roots to spread and overall stunting/stalling the growth phase and forcing her into early flower. So, on this strain I don't think I can give a fair judgement on her and what she can do, as given the right conditions, she really is a great grower that gives large long nodes with buds formimg up and down hopefully making 5-7 long colas on my CBD organic. I only had 1 cola on this hydro and it is 1/5th of the size of the smallest cola on my CBD organic . Given the right conditions I really think she'd of given a bountiful harvest. Cause if you look at the zkittlez hydro in this diary she was put in a much lighter substrate not nearly as compact and she has taken off. She looks like a DWC grow, only the weeks will tell if we got a killer harvest on our hands. But as for this, hey 89grams wet altogether, hopefully we can get 17-20g dry but she is so strong, the smell is overpowering and there has been no cure and she already tastes like a full bodied smoke. It's really smooth on the troat. Pure white ash from the bong and joint, goes down real smooth, you get a lovely intense sweet honey flavour on exhale, but you can tell there's underlying hidden terps there that need a cure to bring the best out of it. Coming update: Smoke Report; 1,3,4 wks there will be smoke reports Final weight. 5 more days for final trim and weight And problem solving by checking how far the roots got down, this update will come later. So, my space is 70x70 that's 0.49 m2. So 5 plants, this plant took up 1 space 0.1m2 of space and 20watts of the light. Being 5 plants so 5÷100=20watts per plant. Can't wait to see what the hydro zkittlez will give. I will give an overall watt per gram once the 5 plants have been harvested. UPDATE 4 days in the electric dry tent, went from 86 grams wet to 17.5. Maybe a little to dry. Buds still have a little bounce left in them, bit dryer than I'd like. Think I'll do the electric dryer on a 12/12 on/off, from now on. First time drying anything overall I'm happy, not with the harvest but I know why I got what I got and learnt from my many mistakes on this plant, between N tox, nute lock and root trapmeant it was like a 3l pot grow as only 1/3 of the pot had roots. The lower 2/3 literally had like 1 root that made it through the compacted substrate. After she took her shape and started to flower I knew she'd be a low yield. SMOKE REPORT. really nice smooth tasty smoke, very hard to get the other taste other than sweet honey aroma and a little earthy smell. Defo needs to be cured. Will update on smoke report in detail then. 19/3/22 2 weeks curing today, man has the smell profile changed. The earthy plant smell is almost completely gone and in its place is a very fruity sweet smell with a strong honey scent dominating her, pungent wise, her scent has increased massively, on opening the jar the whole room is engulfed in a sweet aroma you just wanna wif all day, it really is beautiful. Despite the poor yield results, and now knowing why I got them results I can happily say this grow has thought me a lot in the way of patience, understanding and humility, lol. It was really fun, and through all the issues and running her with N tox and root trapmeant, overall I'm happy with the results. A 0.95g/watt isn't bad neither, yes, I used a 100watt light but I had 5 plants in there. So even the gram/m X that by 5 and that's the real figure. It'd be the same if I put in 5 plants of the same strain it'd give 0.95 g/w for this plant. Thanks for reading. I used 5 plants with a 100 watt light that's 20watts per plant so at 19grams ÷20watts=0.95grams per watt.

Week 11 D78 Zkittlez is a pure monster by the looks of it she will be a huge bounty, or maybe not. She has tons&tons of bud sites. I've slowly being picking bits and in the next week I'll make a final choice on if it'll be a 2 harvest job, or strip the unmatured growth giving the more matured sites that extra boost. Decisions decisions. I tied down the large cola coming up on the light, turned them on their side allowing the whole cola to take in the full potential light on hand. 8/3/22 Looks like I got some K issues now on my hand. Run-off was reading at 2800ppm from an 1300 ppm feed (nute lock). Meaning she was drinking water and leaving nutes behind, I let it get so bad a couple weeks back and it got to 8500ppm but she was still in growth so it didn't hurt too much as she was still getting enough N but in pre -mid-late flowering needs constsnt watch as K control fluid uptake and spreads that nute rich mix throughout your plant, and this is whst happens when you arent watching. Gotta stay on top of them flushes. Have gave her a very high dose of P-K and let's hope for the best. I'll be adding a dehumidifier to my grow room, I'll put it close to the air intake filter, as there's no point putting in the tent and then having high humidity air blowing in from the room, would kinda defeat the purpose also I'd think the dehumidifier would dry out my coco too much and soil and also the plant itself. If anyone thinks different please will you message me, as I'm going off what I think makes sense.....So any comments or DM's saying otherwise would be great. Yeah I'd put it in the tent if it was around 200x200 or even bigger. And I've also got a decent humidity/temp reader, as I'm really going to dial in my next grow as temps and RH was all over the place. I've completely sealed up my grow room so controlling temps and humidity will be much better to handle and having a small tent the RH and temps swing rapidly. So I'm also looking into getting spiderfarmer heat pads and a smart intake fan that reads temps and humidity it's sucking into my tent. Really hoping to transform my grows on the next run. 9/3/22 Still some sort of def going on and spreading throughout my plant. :-( 11/3/22 Looks like the Def is at bay for the moment. She is at to putting on about 10-15% in bud mass the last 48hrs. Really happy with her progress slightly increased ppm right up to 1500 as she still has about 30days of flowering left I'd say. But that's just a guess might be more like 20 on nutes then 10 with flush. But either way, I reckon this plant will yield more than the other 4 combined maybe by 2x. Exciting...🌱🌿🌷but, I'm not putting all my money on her. The tangerine dream is at to becoming a real contender and has found a place on my hardy little bitch board. Zkittlez is a very delicate plant. Doesn't like massive changes, reacts bad to underwatering so if you are in coco 10 waters a day 50% should be your 1l mix nute solution have a good drainage system, air-pot are good, if you don't make a base the roots can grow down into the run-off and drink it, it's why I think it played a part in making her this big. Report and issues from this week 11. Well, we didn't start the week off so great. Started to see signs of p-k def or some sort of def. It's weird cause the nutes she's getting and regular flushes. There is the fact that there are roots drinking from the end of the plate and as only the top part of the plant is showing signs of def. I've no idea how the root system works in a plant, well I do, but I don't know if you section of roots controls it or is it just 1 big straw with many little straws leading from the main straw, that was always my take on it. Anyways I done some light defoliation and removed a lot of healthy leafs hopefully this will allow the plant to better get the nutes to where they need to be with less spots to feed and travel to this should help. I have put her into a 24hr flush yesterday and she has only been started on some core nutes. Hopefully it was a firm of nute lock in the plant and it'll help. Overall she is a complete monster. Lots and lots and lots and even more bud sites, it's crazy. I'll do a video for the end of this week to show you guys. Just started her back on 1220ppm and we'll see how it goes from there. RH in tent is holding at 67%in the tent, 58% in the room. Temp In the dark is 21c and when light is on its 26c. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

Week 12 D86 Flowering 35-40 days since stigma started showing. She is growing really well, for now what ever all the little rust spots were are gone. Still not solid explanations as to what it was or to as why it came up. Made a hard choice. And snipped the roots that were drinking from the plate, as this could of been the cause as to why this was happening on otherwise a healthy looking plant. Lowered the PPM from 1550 down to 1250 and will bring her down another 3-600 over the course of the next week and then another 2-300 the following week and keep her on regular 700ppm feeds of just bloom, but candy overdrive and B-52. All other nutes will be pulled over the next 2 weeks, gradually and not all at once neither, don't want to shock her into a def, just want to make sure all this crap is flushed from her. Big bud, she got her last feed of that today and that's her done on that now. She was started on her normal mix - 300ppm. RH is holding at a steady 65 temp is 26, 21c with lights off. 14/3/22 Added my 2nd intake fan was able to bring down the RH down as low as 53% with the 2 on full blast. Rooms RH is at 46% dehumidifier has been running 24/7 since I got it. Not good enough though. It works but looks like I'm going to get a 370watt 25l (meaning, it takes 25l out of the air every 24hrs, the 1 im using now is a 60watt that gets rid of 2l every 8hrs). It'll do in an hour what this machine takes 8hours to do. So it'll actually use less energy overall. 18/3/22 Plant is coming on nicely, putting on lots of bud mass, hopefully it'll keep packing on bud as there is not much in the way of sugar leafs it'll just be nice dense bud. For the last 24 hrs I've thrown her into a hard flush, 6l of water with 2 flushes one last night 1 tonight after each flush 50ml with sensi cal mag extra 1ml/50ml was given so the plant wouldn't go into full flush and the nutes left behind will break down helping nute uptake. Very important to introduce some cal as if you flush for too long and have a high build up of salts you'll cause a form of nute lock and throw plant into the flushing phase. So always use some cal mag on top to break down the nutes you are trying to flush. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

D91 Still a couple of weeks to go at least. She is putting on nice long bud mass as all bud I'll get off her will have very few sugar leafs. And with the top 30cm of the nodes bent outwards it's allowed the light to reach down deeper into the plant itself, and well, you can see the results, bud sites galore. Not much left to do with her. I threw her into a heavy flush for 24hrs first flush run-off was coming back at 2900, way too high, salt and nute residue is been left behind because of the poor P-K uptake that control the spread and uptake of nutes. Got her down to 980 today with her final flush before going into her rest. After the flush I poured 100ml of 2ml/l of cal to help break down the nutes behind so the plant can uptake them, this is very important when doing a flush to lower your TDS add some cal to it as this will keep the plant sucking not only thr water and leaving the nutes behind, cause you need cal espically in subs with nute build up it has to be broken down and will help to avoid nute lock or going into an unwanted flush to early. I'll be dropping her next feed by 200ppm down to around a 1000. I will still give the nutes I've been given just a little less and she needs to get ready for a flush but be kept with enough to keep her mass of growth going. RH is between 55-60%:air been blown in is reading at 48-50% temp is 22c in tent it's 21.7c in the dark and 27-28c with the light on. With my new 4inch intake smart fan im going to set it up so it blows 100% air in at the top and a 4inch intake fan will suck out 80% I'm hoping by doing this it will change the RH of the room 48-50% into the tent creating the same environment. The air that is brought in is filtered by a carbon filter, no need for 1 to blow the air out. 19/3/22 As you can see I have the RH as best as I can get in my grow room, I've installed the smart fan and inserted the sensor giving me 57%RH 75F in the tent, with the light off, it's rather hot today, much hotter than normal, it's normally 21c in my room it's 24.5 today. RH is at 50% in room, hopefully by installing my old intake fan in the lowest part of my tent and suck out 80% While 100% gets blown in on top will bring the tents RH to the same as the room, that's the hope anyways. But 57%RH is still okay, not optimal but not too bad neither 21/3/22 So, I tried out my new method. Of having my smart intake fan suck in 50RH and a bottom intake fan at the end sucking out older air at a lesser speed had it running for 8hrs, no change in humidity whatsoever just dropped the temp by 1.5c. I think the fact I have a 70x70 with so many plants has set the RH and thankfully it's not what it was which was touching on 80rh at some days. A bigger tent and I'll really be able to dial in my grows now I have all the tools to control RH/TEMP from S/H. For now 57%RH when it's low and 62% when the lights are on for a few hours. Stays around 57-60% atm for around 85% of the time. Temp is constant and doesn't change without my control within a range of 4-6c change difference, this number I have no problem in changing and I'll be making my tent a lot cooler after this wk ends. I'll be keeping her at 18c with lights off and 28 with lights on. As for the plant, she has fully turned the corner and I can say whatever the issue was, which no 1 can still tell me what it was not do I know. It wasn't a def because it was so random and hit all different levels of growth. But, thankfully she has passed it, am really dialing in this coco grow. I know exactly how much water she takes without spilling a drop of run-off unless I want it to. The buds, well, they are small at the moment but they are so fucking dense and hard I really hope they get at least 30% bigger of the next 2 wks. The last few days some has but on at least 10% bud mass and all sites have moved out of pre-flower (stigma), so growth is over for the plant, it's just bud sites now, how you can tell is your sites will start to give off their aroma and will start to get sticky to the touch. 85% of the plants buds are all in the same range mature wise or only a few days out from their sister buds. Still some 15% that still has stigma but as this is at the bottom of the plant I know she will not grow anymore but maybe a little if any around these sites. 21/3/22 GRRRRRR stupid rust spots all over her again today, yday she got a mix of all the nutes above, one of these nutes is causing this, I am 75% sure it's overdrive. Really annoying, as there is no deficiencies, no signs, just these poxy rust spots. So annoying, as NO 1 can tell me exactly what they are, it's not a def, the plant ozzs health, she's the pic of it, every leaf stands tall, very good color, slight old nute burn very little on about 10% of the leafs but these stupid rust spots are stupid. Overdrive, or 1 of the nutes is doing this, I reckon it's this as it's only been given that the past 10 days and I'm nearly sure this is the cause, but I can't be sure, and until I figure it out I really don't feel comfortable moving forward with the AN line. Sadly I think I'll be dropping everything but big bud, bud candy&voodoo juice. 22/3/22 Was going through my buds and man, they are so sticky you would nearly say they are done until you look close at them, there still full of pistils, white hairs, the bud growth will come past them, so there is still a big push yet to come so I was hoping to start dropping the micro nutes but I think that would be a massive mistake and cost me dearly on harvest day. Fuck it, I'll flush the shit out of it for 2 weeks on flawless finish and then a week on water and 2-4 days in the dark just on water. With much thought I pushed the PPM back up to 1450. I've decided to drop overdrive. After 24hrs of flushing my coco like crazy I'll be happy to start her back on nutes in 24hrs when she's drank the 2.8-3.2l of water she's currently holding, the run-off from that was 1800 btw, but with salts and so on from the last feed I've learnt with AN the PPM reading is what you give it, not always the Run-off. Yeah I'd trust the PPM reading 2moro if i was doing another ppm run off test, but as im not ill go by what im putting into it, cause my weekly flushes/flushing in general in pretty good, very little nute lock experinces with mixing so many nutes 22/3/22 Messaged AN and sent them pics and info, by going through my nutes and the fact that I gave some big bud in the same window as overdrive causes these rust spots. Thankfully I finally have an answer as to the rust issues. Just a bad mix with nutes that shouldn't come into contact with each other. Thanks AN Thanks for reading, drop a like and I'll know u drop by and I'll do the same gottagrowsometime

Coming along nicely. Lots of stigma still showing, (white pistils), on bud. So, there is at least another 2-4 wks left. Added a week's worth of sensi coco grow A+B for a week to increase resin/trichomes, you can already see frost and stickiness has increased by at least a 1/3 so far, great tip. Adding grow into your plant once she's been on bloom for awhile, still has to have stigma and still be in flowering to really get the impact from it. 29/3/22 Coming on f..king great. Few rust spots but I know what it's from and they are 10+ days old. And no new 1s since then. No point in removing them, they are healthy/energy absorbing leafs. 3 colas 2 stems coming from other other intact colas have HST'ed itself. 2 other colas are looking like they are going that way too. And tbh, there isn't a whole f..king lot I can do but support what I can where I can. I can't tie up every cola/stem that's bending because of bud weight or the fact that i bent some and 2 of the ones I LST'ed HST'ed and 1 of the 83cm HST'ed also and 2 stems 1 from the LST HST'ed cola a stem with a big bud bent but just all the inside wall broke, no tears as the colas thankfully fell on the TDA and the others were supported by the growth. She's boeing out, I'm going to do as many plastic ties as I can and brace colas together where I think it's weak. Not a bad problem to have. I nvr planned on HST'ing anything on this plant. Now I'm gonna have to give it another 3-5wks, if I have to half harvest I have flawless finish which stops the plants leafs from dying and then after a wk of that she can be finished off, as the lower end has so much stigma left it's crazy. Still stigma, (white pistils, white hairs), are still all over the whole plant but the top is about 2 weeks ahead. And I'm not gonna overcook the top while waiting on the rest. Only thing I don't like about doing this is there won't be any rest period for the first part harvested. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with this welcome problem please DM me with what u did, always wanting to learn more. Thankfully this plant stalled and I learned how important certain things need to be like RH, it's not ideal but 57% is much better than the zkittlez organic than ran most of her life up to 90% RH at times. This plants resin/trichomes as she is now is more than triple what the supersoil grow was, and that's down to me getting the RH under control and 30% lower than what it was in the main stage of flowering for the zkittlez organic. I'm extremely happy with how she is going, I'm just hoping she is as strong as she is showing me she is, she extremely sticky to touch and very pungent in a good way. Lots more trichomes all over the buds, and actual real usable trim full of trichs looks possible. Any tips or tricks all help/guidance is welcome. 29/3/22 Seems to be taking the sensi grow switch from bloom back to grow, was a risk, but one I personally think was worth it, 2 more days of grow A+B and B-52. All other nutes were cut, she will be going back on full bloom&nutes next week. Maybe for another 3 weeks, espically after she HST'ed some of herself those colas now will need that extra time. Not much I can do. 18-19wks it looks like. The grow nute trick though was worth the extra week, the resin/trichomes/stickiness have increased double fold. Lots of uneven growth down in the middle and lower growth, hopefully will soon be a thing of the past. I've ordered 4 13.5 inch Lm301 Samsung nodes 42leds in each light. Each strip will go on 4 of the poles holding up the tent. They'll go up 45cm and start from there, they are roughly over 40cm long 13.5inchs. Not sure what ppfd they'll put out I'll give that info after I add them up. It'll only add 7.5watts each at full blast, these are the higher end led strips each have a programme 4,8,12,16 settings and will only be an extra 30watts at full strength they have 4 settings also to control the strength of each light individually 30/3/22 Decided that after reading/researching I can up my light timing a little and just watch for signs of light stress. Switching from a 15.30-8.30 to a 17-7. More light more yield. I'd like to go to a 20-4 But they were started on a 18-6. I'll watch closely over the next few days for droopy leafs and other light stress signs, but all my research tells me that going back up with autos is fine. Thanks for reading. gottagrowsometime

Week 15. Had a look at the trichomes on the a few sites. 50%cloudy some embers rest are clear. And getting very long in comparison with her sister zkittlez organic. This bud seems to be hitting that 21% THC better, yet, lots of things are still an unknown. For example the exact THC/YIELD /QUALITY. Finished with the grow nute, to see can I bring more resin/trichomes. Seems to have been ok. Won't know it's true effects if any for a wk or so. Moved back on to bloom and bloom nutes, root stims, enzymes. Gave a hard flush to get rid of any old grow left and clear the weeks salts. 31/3/22 Led grow bars arrived. They sent me the wrong1s. So contacted them and they said instead of sending the 4 bars I ordered they sent this set that is better than the 4 and also gave me back my all the money for that part of the order and gave me 40e light bars for free. 31/3/22 Installed both 48x2 led chip bars 10 both bars are 5 watts each. Should help increase bottom-mid growth as it lags behind. The SF-1000 Light is great this is just for the rest of the huge zkittlez to catch up. RH is in a good range today 54%RH for the whole day since I woke up. Slowing down on fluid uptake. Use to be over 2l before she'd throw anything back. 1.8l is her limit now. I know I'm abit all over the place. But after looking through my nutes. I missed out on giving Nirvana, yeah the soil grows got it once a week but in coco meant to be from wk3-6 of bloom currently we are in week 6, just started so gonna squeeze in a weeks worth of Nirvana and its increased the PPM by 250 aswel as the. 5 increase in some PK focused nutes and some extra silica for the plant as she is weak and has HST'ed 3 colas and 2 stems. So, gonna try put her back on it. I really have been all over the place with giving nutes, more of a case of tweaking things to figure out what's right. After my beginners buys I can now say I can find the same if not better nutes that do the very same thing in the AN line or the GH tripack. They also have kleen roots that's like voodoo juice. Must cheaper, and then we have senzyme and ancient organic earth tea for piranha and tarantula which cost 70e a L as opposed to 12e a L for senzyme and ancient tea. It's just a case of shopping round and not getting sucked in my big words. Check out diaries that these fungi/enzymes are used and they work just as good as the expensive stuff. Also the jungle juice micro is a great trace element nute. 2/4/22 Stacking on lots of nice looking terps colors of purple in the bud. With lots of sugar balls. Hopefully buds will get bigger by about 10-20% hard to see but still about 15-20 white hairs. Much more lower down the bud it's it's like 50/50 stigmaVSambers Decided for the plants benefit I'm doing a 30min hard flush and restarting the whole nute programme again. Just got a little run-off back from a 1.8l feed and was 2200ppm 800 nearly more than the feed. 2/4/22 Did a hard flush today. Took 3 mins to get it down from 2200 to tap water level then threw 500ml of filtered water with cal mag extra 1ml/l. She was so sticky just now after lifting moving her colas with my arm to the side to take the TDA pic. Fuck she is so sticky. I took the HST-ed bud today. Weighted in at 1.9 wet after trim. Needed a sample anyways. It's looking like I'm going to have to do a 2 fucking part harvest. As there is just waaaayyyy too much undeveloped bud sites to harvest the plant I'd be losing over 1/2 of my harvest. So I've decided when the top 5 nodes are done. I'm gonna take them and and set the plant up evenly and give her another 2-3 wks to finish and I should get way more if I bring her to harvest in total in 2-3wks. I'd be losing soooo much. It's hard to show you guys what I mean. All you can see is the top bud sites. But that's only 30% of the plant. At least 70% is behind 50 of that is so far behind it will not catch up in time as long as these top 5 colas are taking all the energy and nutes, it's the only thing that makes sense at this stage. With the added lights I know there only 10 watts but I'm hoping that will increase my mid sites. I'm gonna just try take as little off as I can but max on what I do take off should hopefully bring her about and I'll be for sure giving the rest of her a 3 day rest period in the dark. Oh btw. If anyone has any idea as how to go about this message me. I've read up all I can. I NEED PPL WHO HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. So heres my plan. I'm gonna lower down the wk before I take the colas back down to a 16-8 then I'm gonna let her rest for 24hrs with full light water and so on, (she'll be on flawless finish for the week), hoping that'll keep what I need alive to finish her off, cause if she dies on me, I'm fucked. I know 24hrs without light is not good. But 50/50 she'll pull through and go right back to work after I take her colas off I'll hard flush her and back on nutes for 2-3weeks. What u guys think? 4/4/22 GREAT UPDATE...I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY 😁😁😁😁 Finally, some bud anyone would be proud to have produced. It wasn't even fully done, the bud I dried in a box took 4 days. Got .45 back from 2.1 it was fucking AMAZING!! The bud isn't even done, wasn't rested. Cured and the taste/stone is top class. That alone I had a joint and a bong. And I'm BAKED. Defo more leaning on the indica side 75/25 Sativa. But left decent amount of trichs in the 3tier grinder. Defo needs a flush and to be finished she's going to be pushing near 20%THC. She already nearly there tbh but that bud alone had about 40% clear trichomes. And she's still more indica than sativa. The organic bud is 12-15% the 100 sativa. This bud, bloodshot eyes, heavy head stone. Munchies galore. I'm stuck to the couch. I WANT MORE. Roll on baby roll on, I'm so tempted to chop her. Not gonna happen though. I'm over the moon though. TBH i was worried that this bud would be 12-15%. Thank God it's not the case. It's powerful. Doesn't take much to get high. Idk about you but if I don't get that from bud within am hour I'd go through 1.5-2gs by myself to get what. 5 gets you in 10mins. I've slowly started to feel the Sativa high, uplifted, really happy after about 5mins of smoking my joint/Bong. Then 10-15 mins later bye bye sativa and HELLO indica. Heavy head high the last 2 hours 30-40mins in I got the munchies heavy. KFC sorted that, I dunno about you, but a weed is like a nice glass of wine and the weed made my meal go down a treat. Will be running it off for the next week but it was worth it. Think I'll have myself q little sleep now, in a little goof 2 hours in. 100% NOT A DAY TIME SMOKE. I can hardly operate this phone and I'm having trouble remembering what I'm writing, oh and am I raml8ng. 🤣🤣 night night at 6pm. I also took a 2.5 gram tester, it was a bud that I k8nds broke off when checking for stigma' (white pistils underneath the bud at the top part of the top cola broke off and this bud has purple notes in it, it's the very same looking bud that is in yday picks, That's when I broke a 2.4 wet purple resin/trich balls bud. It glitters in the light looks fill of trich balls. She's 75 cloudy. Some milky turning cloudy and about 10% long clear tops with milky bottoms, but the bud was taken by mistake just as the light turned off so it had no rest period at all. Hopefully if I can keep the RH low I'll be able to sort out my plants and even make them stronger over the next few weeks. BTW, For coco, taratula&piranha are very expensive, yea they have some benefit in coco of course. But there is much cheaper alternatives in the AN line. Senzyme will help break down old roots like tarantula, help nute uptake and also has piranha properties. Also mixed with ancient earth organic tea and that is more than enough fungi/enzymes for coco. But if you don't mind spending the money, you can use them but they are best in soil. Even do a 50/50 soil light mix/coco that alone is the best recommend substrate for doing autos/fems, especially if you are wanting to make the most out of these expensive nutes. Voodoo ((Tarantula)) ((Piranha ))) Use these cheaper subs for coco with the voodoo juice. SENZYME+ACIENT EARTH ORGANIC TEA. 6/4/22 Okay, so things, not so well. She's stopped taking nutes. And cut drinking by a 1/10. No nute change from the feed. She's in nute lock. It's cause the top parts are done. And they are the main colas but everything else coming from them is miles behind. So, my minds made up. I'm going to top harvest this week. I've no choice. She isn't taking nutes. If I don't do it now the bud/larf below will mature into light airy bud....larf. gotta get her back taking nutes. 6/4/22 YAY, Finally a dehumidifier that works. This thing literally has been running 1 hr. With the grow room door being closed the RH can drop to 45% but with the HEPA filter the smell is gone out the house and it has heated the whole house, it's crazy what this 20l dehuimifier does. Bonkers. Finally I am hitting peak conditions for growing, when my door is closed I can get the RH in the tent to hit 70%+ and now with this machine I can get it as low as 45%, it's only been on 1hr. In my tent this is how much electric it uses. Look at the pic above 218watts in 20c temp 60% RH that's our house when the heating is off by turning it on it drops in the range of 50% after a couple of hours. temp is 23% so I'd say it uses in the mid range so maybe 230watts. Yes, the electricity bill will go up but bye bye gas, as this thing heats out whole house much better. Worth the money, if you have high RH in your tent don't put a dehuimifier in your tent get a good 20l at least or 12l if you keep your grow room door closed. This one is 259£ 330euro. It A energy rated. Won tons of awards and with not having to use the central heating anymore it'll actually even itself out. Great buy, it's really going to transform what I can get out of the bud as for quality and with my tent getting to 70%+ with the grow room door closed and then when in flower I can get it down to 45% and maybe that'll get even better. SAME DAY: So with my RH under perfect cond I think waiting any longer would be madness as I will risk losing a massive bloom in the mid-lower section that's full of stigma that If I don't act fast will end up turning into lots of amber pistils like little balls of stigma. I was preparing for this: I've been giving her water the last 3 days, today is the third. Overfed her to get run-off and was 1650, (meaning the top colas have stopped feeding). Hard flushed got ppm down to 210 and then after 2 hours through 500ml of flawless finish 2ml/l dose. This is meant to be given for a week, but here's the thing, I'm only harvesting 30% of the plant. Maybe will push it to 40% I'm taking the top colas any any well formed enough bud with no more than 30% of stigma. So 70% amber pistil buds will be taken. The 30% is just white pistils that could do with another week. But I'd rather take 10% and help the plant max out and hopefully she'll finish up. Cause if she stalls I'm gonna be left with a lot of poxy larf. So, sadly the flush will be halted t9morrow come 12pm I'm putting her into 12hrs of dark and taking what I need to. Hard flushing the flawless finish, let her drink up plain for till the next day and then back on a 800-1200 ppm depending how the plant reacts. I really don't know what's gonna happen. I know the top colas will be harsh but I've had a tester and to be honest I'm more than happy with it, I won't be curing the colas it will only being out the chemicals in her. 30-40% of petty dark good bud, little harsh but more than good enough, she'll been in nute lock the last week anyways so. She barley taking 3-400ppm out of her feeds and that's just a guess. Let's see what happens. And there wasn't any way I could of kept the top colas going as the plant is confused. I know that might not make sense. But the plant feeds from the top down, if the top isn't drawing up feed it's not drawing it full stop. Hence why the lower-mid growth has stalled. This is more of a see what can I save now. I could either just let her finish for the next 2 weeks. Takes what's on top and be happy with 50-60% larf. So, 40% of good bud and hopefully beem able to briny the other 60% to full harvest makes more sense to me. If it fails it fails the bud will finish off the way it would of, or worse it'll just finish. Let's see what happens over the next 48hrs. BTW dehuimifier works 1hr on 1 off goes between 45RH to 53 over the hours it's not on. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

D113.She was fed 300ml of water 30mins before harvest to prolong drying period. So, after her 15hrs rest, I took half of her, probably around 60% 410.5g wet after I took all the fan leafs, most sugar leafs. Left on the stuff with the most trichs, looks a little leafy but lots of that growth half way down and going into the bud is covered on long trichs. As I'll be keeping that trim, so better to let it dry on the plant. Had some trouble getting it into the boxes. I punched loads of holes and was going to put the box on its side so it could hang dry. But it was just wayyy too much hassle. I'll rotate the buds every 12hrs. Rooms RH is 40% room temp 21.5c. Tents RH has dropped down 2 44% 45% when I walk into the room, sensor is so sensitive, gives perfect RH/TEMP every time. Only a 5% difference in the room compared to the tent. Was 10-15 in it's highest before I got this great dehuimifier. As for the bud, was really really sticky. I literally have dirt/ash stuck in the groves/fingerprints. I've washed my hands 4 times. Now I'm left to rub my fingers together to roll out the stickiness. Crazy high resin filled bud. Man I'm so happy I decided to give her a dark rest period before chopping half. Have open up the whole lower half. I took some bud that you could still see prob would have gotten bigger. But as the plant has stopped feeding, I had to take what I could and leave enough young bud to kick her back into feeding. Fingers crossed. Theres at least 3-400g wet left on her. 410 so far. I'd say 50-80g of that is stem. Let's see what happens lowered her ppm to 1100ppm. 6.25 PH. Tried keeping in the same as the flush water which is 6.3. Update. Decided to hang dry 60% of the bud. Just strung a few line across the box and hung what I could. Sticky isn't the word for what she's putting out at the moment. Full of sugar balls. Didn't want the bud going all felt. After final trim I'll put up bud shots, smoke review. Trichs were 90% cloudy last night before lights went out. Everything turned cloudy almost but the 10-15% that was taken to help produce more explosive growth. I want at least another 3-400g wet. Bit hard to see it there, but the bud is there for there to be that much again if she takes off. If she is stalled and won't eat she finish and it'll be 100g wet of larf/bud full of stigma that'll just turn amber and be weak bud. Fingers crossed she's bloom again. Throw her back on big bud coco. Cut her PPM by 500 and will do a run off test 2moro to see if that number is gone down from the 1100 feed to 5-600 it should be. If it's above 1100 it means no nute uptake and it's also gathering the nute/flawless finish that was left behindz I tried flushing as much as I could but the PPM was still 250 after 25mins of constant flushing. After learning more about autos over the months for the last 3 weeks I've been pushing up the light time. She's actually 20-4 now. I started her on a 18-6, down to a 15.30-8.30 pushed her back to 18-6 now after half harvest I'm hoping she's push back into feeding. I'll know on her next hard flush. So, good new good news. Got a bit of run-off back from the 1100ppm feed. Was 490ppm. Starting to feed again. Yup Yup. Back on big bud coco for 2 weeks. Few days off that and a wk of overdrive, maybe 10 days, depends how they are getting on and how she's feeding. Am going to bring PPM back up by 100 tomorrow and get back up to 1400ppm. But this stage, there's no nute burn so I'm going to give water feeds on every 2nd day, as opposed to feeding everyday. I'm just going to fill her up on nutes, just enough so she doesn't give much back and then the next day that same amount in water. Should keep her heating regular and not be shocked by a hard flush every week. Trying something new. Let's see if we get better results. Happy so far, if I can get 300 more wet, as she is 48cm tall. Lots of bud sites, small larfy but the potential is there for them to be dense like the top side. Let's see. Going to focus heavy on PK. Gonna pull back on the enzymes&tarantula also. No need as they have done all there gonna do in an ineart substrate the plant got it's benefit of them. It kept and very big uneven plant in a state of growth, yes, she stalled, but that was explained why, the short of it is, (as the plant draws food from the top of the node, it that top is done and is only wanting water she's onot going to draw up water. And leave nutes behind. It's why the top slowed down, stopped feeding 2weeks ago and stalled the lower ends) 8/4/22 Pushed up her PPM by 200 last night by way of increasing B-52, mainly PK. Gave her 1.5l of water 12hrs later, and I got about 300ml of run-off that cane in at 480 from 1300ppm. Really well, delighted she has pushed back into feeding as she has been just drinking water. Even the flawless finish she wouldn't take any of that. She was just drinking water. So, thinking of it now and the 80-100g fry I'm gonna get back, more around the 80mark after I remove the bud from the nodes/stems, (Once it's dry, not before) I should be left in the 80range. I decided to fast track some bud, as at the moment I'm smoking dust from my box, so 6.5 stem that weighted earlier was thrown into the eletric dryer. When she hits into 4.5-5g she'll be ready to smoke. Shes frosty as f..k, already lost around 2/3s of it's wet weight, which is too fast, it dawned on me, I've the weed in the room with the dehuimifier, (fuck), not good. Weed should dry naturally, no wind/air flow from fans should be used. Yes, there needs to be air flow, but it should be o'natural. Air dried weed loses terps, resin, thc and drying to quick will give your bud a planty/earthy smell that's not meant to be coming through, yes, a cure will bring back her taste but just let her dry out natural. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I've compared quick dried bud to natural dried bud and the difference is like night&day. Also, air dried bud will go flat and if you are using a drying net/rack make sure to rotate your buds every 12hrs or so, this will stop them from falling in on each other. Esp if you aren't dealing with dense bud. With this though, that's not the case. The bud density is a lot better than the organic that went through a 70%RH for most of her flowering period. This bud is like 3 times stronger. Sativa buzz lasts about 15mins and then a good luck in the face from indica. But is covered in dense hard nugs, the bud for the most part is like this. The rest for density I'd give it about a 7.5/10. Yield 9/10 Quality 9/10 THC level reached 80-90% of the 22% given on paper. She's defo into or very near 20% THC. I'm even thinking of sending some to get it tested for kicks. But as not a 1grain of my bud will be sold, EVER. It'll only be for my personal use, but as she's already put out 410 wet and maybe another 200+ I'm looking at maybe 150g dry. And yes, I will be posting proof of dry weight. 9/4/22 92.5 G DRY of dehuimified bud. Yup, I used a dehuimifier. 1stly it was partly by mistake. Yday, before going out for 12hrs after chopping my bud I closed my door, it was only last night when I was emptying the dehuimifier it was so full of water, I didn't make sense, then I looked up and seen my bud, quickly felt it, weighted it and was topping out at 215. So, I decided to keep going, closed the door and it's been running since yday until dismorning and then 12 hours I let it rest. 100% pure sticky, I actually couldn't believe it. It was like it was 100% long dried. That was the plan. But the difference alone in the 4.5g of bud that was dried in the electric dryer, was a bit sticky, but this is GREAT. It's like it was 100% long dried. I know I don't have a lot of drying experience but I love this method. I'm going to dry the rest of her hang drying in the tent with TDA. And then I'll truly know, but alone the rest of the zkittlez plant has now optimal RH it'll be hard to tell as the bud will be even stronger than what I've already gotten. Which is very very close to 20% THC. Has to be 18%, has to be. It's so strong. 25%Sativa75%Indica. Nice uplifting feeling then a strong head stone comes on. The terps are there and all, but you can get a hint of earthyness, idk if this is normal with zkittlez? But it stinks of a weird, well that smell that only zkittlez has, it's hard to explain if u haven't grown it. I've decided it's not to harsh so gonna cure the guts of it, well it'll cure as I'm smoking it, probably last about a month, if that. I'll go into more detail about the smell effects after 2wks cure should be half left by then. 2.5gs a day keeps boredom away. So first big harvest with damm good bud, I know I'm biast, but it is tops, trust me, I'd be pissed if it wasn't. Chuffed.com. hopefully another 50g dry to come. 92.5 isn't bad for a starter, oh and I took .5 or some shit last wk right, so 93 total. Yup Yup giddy up. DELIGHTED. Can truly say, these grows haven't been without their issues, but now having the gear I do, top dehuimifier, new nute sponsor, moving into DWC fun grows ahead, with what I've learnt, the signs of the plants when to give what, extra/less when to introduce bloom and not go by a fucking chart that says give bloom after 4 wks on a plant that doesn't bloom until wk 7. After I dry the rest of this plant depending on how THE quality is ill be dehuimfying it. And top tip, be sure to fully trim as the amount of dried sugar leafs that have crowed into the bud is a bit much, smokeable and all but ill be pulling out or not depending on how stoned I get. Lesson learnt do a full trim, I was planning to do the whole box but when I seen how much water was taken out it was already too late. And i spent a good 2 hours just taking the bud off all the stems and removed 95% of unsmokeable trim. Also stuff like that with really hard to control RH, even still on this run with all the growing the plant has left and with having a top dehuimifier I know I can even get a better end product. Really excited to see what I can do. Fun times ahead guys!! Watch this space!!! 9/4/22 Plant update. She's doing well, responding well to the extra light, no droopy leafs, no light stress, just like I thought there'd be none. Hasn't stalled, if anything it helped push her back into feeding and is keeping RH below 45 for the most part. Have called it quits on the dehuimifier, has totally cleared my house of dampness whole house has been at 45-48 since she was last turned on 10hrs ago. If RH gets into the 50's I'll put it back on but for now, they are fine, more than, they've lived most there lives in 60+ so. I'm sure they'll finish fine on 50+ 55 max. Upped the PPM. She has slowed down on her amount of feed 1.2l every 24hra she can hold. She got 1.2 L of what you see above, 2moro she'll get 1.2 of 1500 again I'll Just be getting there differently. More PK. So .1ml of coco B bloom and .5 extra of .5 B-52 I'll lower coco bloom part A .5 and something else like bud factor should even it out. And keep her in the 1500 range. Then in 2 days 1.25l of water hopefully get few 100ml and she goes she's feeding. Good bye till then. Gonna enjoy my bud for a few days. D114.5 Took a heavy feed last night on the chin, no signs of nute burn/tip burn. Buds are responding well, only a couple days, so it's hard to tell if she's gone back into making bud, but she's feeding. Can't run the run-off test till later. Seem to be taking the light increase well also. 20-4 we are going to finish them on. Yeah yeah I know, shouldn't be fucking with the light, well it hasn't done any harm I can see as of yet, so.....Yup. lots&lots of numb mistakes, massive learning from these grows. So, drying my bud fast was a mistake, thanks for the tip bro! Seen below in comments. So, will 100% be hang drying the rest of the girls. Gonna chop, full trim and then hang dry it upside down in a 50RH room. But hey, look, nothing ventured, nothing gained, or some shit like that!! Lots of lessons learnt. Your 1st grow is sadly going to be brutal for your girls, r if you wanna play it safe and pull 30-40g go for it, I want big monster buds, quality, fuck quantity. Give me 1 g of Quality of 10g of quantity bud anyday. This is quality/quantity. I done pure quality, organic bud, was beautiful and all, lovely tasty tasty smoke, very smooth were as this is a little more harsh, just a tad. You can't get 100% rid when you are using so many non organic nutes. Heavy metals galore. BAD NEWS UPDATE: Well, it looks like as though I left it too long before taking the colas that has stopped feeding. After harvest I checked her last night and 70% of what was stigma has turned amber. So, she's gonna finish off as she is larfy and airy. Will still be good bud, just not 50g more like 20-30max. Am going to focus on bud factor x/bud candy for the next 2 weeks. Gonna pull back on overall NPK and push sugars. And maybe I'll finish her off on the 2nd wk with overdrive. Will cut big bud coco after this week, as to make sure I don't get rust spots again by mixing overdrive/big bud coco. Changed the PPM down from 1500 to 900 and will give 1.3 weeks on overdrive and then flawless finish for a week ppm will be around 250ppm. D119 Tool 3 top parts of the bud that was 100% done. Will be harsh but the bud underneath is so far behind and is in stall mode as these tops were only drawing up water. So to help the lower growth I took these 17.9 G wet off to get more bud. Total 428g wet 98.2 G Dry took 4 days to dry the 17.9 I got 4.2 or something back. Still a little wet but smokes nice in the bong and joints and very strong much stronger than what I quick dried, and the taste is much much better. Still a little planty but a cure will bring out that zkittlez taste/smell, if I wasn't smoking it. Okay, so the much stronger is right. But now the stone is COMPLETELY different. She's defo a 50/50 indica Sativa now, idk if this is down to the way it was dried or what. So here's the stone. Extremely excited, but nit a excited get up and do stuff, hell no, Im way to stoned to be doing anything, im having trouble writing this even. Yes, I'm uplifted but also in the mood to do NOTHING. Sit back and get baked. It's defo in the middle. Still not a day time smoke though, she's just too poeerful. Really really nice stuff here. Delighted with this new type of zkittlez as I was getting a little tired and tbh fairly use to the high. Defo be growing multiple strains next time for choice. Peace and thanks for reading!

Week 17 D121 must be coming close to 70 days flowrring or more now. Look at the nice long trichs on this lady. Not a lot of bud left on her after getting 97.5 G Dry. Maybe 30 g dry left but it's some of the dankiest bud ive smoked in weeks, as my normal supply ran out of cali and I've been buying on a prayer and a whim and it's a toss up between ok crap, and just crap. So pretty darn happy with the results. Idk if it's end of life cycle, as I'm getting some fade on top and some white paper spots. Cal def it looks like, but AF aren't meant to have a 120+ day life, so it might be that. Or the cut back on nutes by a little under half woulda hurt. 17/4/22 Okay, it's getting to the stage where this is turning into 1 of those bad house mate situations. She stinks and won't leave her poxy room on time 🤣🤣 jokes aside I am getting fed up at this stage 120+ days is just a bit too much. She's flowering at least 70 days now and still not finish. It's at the stage where it actually has to come down, HAS TO. I am getting an air exchange system put up into my attic aswel as solar panels so plants/tents need to be down for a few days. Don't want any poxy apprentice teenage builders thinkiny they can drop into my grow room and take my bud or come back at a later stage. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Oh and your f..king grows to yourself. Only ppl who need to know are ppl who ain't gonna come bursting into your gaf for a stupid bit of bud. If you take anything AT ALL FROM ALL MY RAMBLEING. Is to stay safe. If some1 doesn't HAVE TO KNOW about your grows, then why do they need to know at all? 18/4/22 Went through the plant. She's all of a sudden done a complete 180 and stopped feeding nearly completely. I'm at to hard flushing her and then through 100ml of a 1100ppm made up of mostly PK and some overdrive and small amounts of cal mag with bloom about 2hrs later, no run-off so she's drinking. Pulling sugars though, going to just try finish off what's not there yet. I'd say about 20% is still about 1-2wks off. But if she's stopped feeding and if that 1100 hasn't gone down by a 3rd when I throw 78ppm I expect the run-off to be around 5-700 to know if she'll start eating again, and if it's not then there's nothing more 2 do here but flush her, which will be short as she's stopped eating at least 36hra now was the last time I did the test and she was slowing down. We shall see, hopefully she'll eat and I can finish her off strong and grab and 20+ dry grams or so for danker bud for sure this time. 19/4/22 Coming to her end. She gotta come down, not only that but she's giving off signs of end of life. Showing some natural fade, showing she's over cooked. There is no more growth left in the plant at all. The 10-15% of stigma, is exactly that. Just waiting for it to turn amber and wasting watts and space. It's time for this round of growing to be over 125+ days wasn't taken into account. But in saying that, I've learnt sooooo much. Half harvests, bringing plants back from the brink of death, many stalls, explosive growth, pests, RH issues, colder than I'd like temps and on and on.. But I've just checked her and yes the tops have finished like I needed. She's been on cal mag for the past 3 days light 300ppm mix. .7ml/l and I've decided I'm gonna trim her again and try expose that growth to ripen it up, it's sooo sticky it needs to be finished off. But I'm gonna try get it done in the flush if I can.. got another 105 of just all bud this time. About 20% left not done. Maybe another 100 to 75 wet left. So far 515 wet has been my biggest wet harvest and still got 20% roughly left. 97g dry and 105 wet that has to dry to be added to that number. Maybe another 20 - trim. Gonna start her on flawless and finish the rest of her on it for this week and next week. 21/4/22.... 105g dried a bit too much. 20g plus the 2 or 3g I smoked since yday of it it's a lot stronger, well not a lot. But there is much more of a pungent zkittlez smell. Like a musty smell, it's hard to explain if you haven't grown or smelt it. There is an earthy undertone, but it's a deep lovely smell. Not at all planty and not even cured. She is packed with frost but crumbles apart in my hand so you can more or less spread it in. Bit to dry but in no way has it taken away from the end product. The bulk of the crop 97g leans more on the indica around 75/25. This stuff leans more on the 50/50 it's uplifting and you can get stuff done. But also if you wanna sit back it's nice just to lay about and flick through the channels and bing on something. Not really getting the heavy munchies like I do on the 97grams. This 20grams is much more of a day time smoke but it's more full bodied. Like 1 joint doesn't lay you out straight away. But man, you get a nice head buzz and the buzz lasts a good 1-2hrs and then you get tired and flake out. I'm going to cure half of this. I have about an 30g of the other stuff in a glass pirex dish with a lid and I'm curing as I smoke it. It's getting a much nicer taste and has lost all planty taste, the little bit I could taste in the bong, I'm putting that down to the fast dry and the fact it's a little water the way I like it. 15-25% moisture. The 20g I just cured was 105 so about 16-18% moisture. It is lovely smoke. So far 120g dry, all bud I strip the heavy stems and that off it, actually 90% or more is all stemless just pure bud, real weight. Wet weight I'd say so far has been around 525. I'd say I'll get another 50-100g wet depending how she finishes. If she's doesn't bulk up it'll be in the 50 mark. But if I can pull another 12.5g dry well then it'll round up to about 135 dry all bud. Not bad for a coco grow and don't forget someone who started out and didn't know the dif between an auto and fem 🤣. Bit long 135 days will be in total when I finish her. That's all for this week thanks for reading. Good luck, happy growing my friends. Drop a like so I can check out what you doing.

Finally it's here. The last week. 18 wks is a long time for an auto. And she is showing it too. Random die off around otherwise healthy growth. If the roots hadn't grown down and I left them so it changed from a coco into part DWC Which turned her much bigger. But in letting this happen it was in between flowering so the plants top was done 2 wks ago, bit over done. Got 97g dry from 410 roughly and then 105 and roughly another 20 in testers. 530 wet so far and I've gotten back around 120+g dry so far. I decided to harvest the top cause if you seen how much stigma and unmatured bud I couldn't fully harvest her. I want to finish her properly, hopefully if she bulks up she'll give around another 70-100g wet or if she doesn't it'll be around 50wet. Am leaving her to be finishing what was left her in pot and started her on flawless yday. Let's see if this stuff can keep her going without going into full die off. We shall see. First harvest was in wk 16. Decided to put a couple of spacers in between her nodes in the middle. Should of done it wks ago. It's opened up the whole lower plant for the light. Have to do a lot more LST on bigger plants to open her up to the lights. 23/4/22 Flawless finish seems to be actually finishing her off. Got buds that had 100% white pistils that have turned amber while I was sleeping. Yup Yup. Checked the trichs are it's like 60% clear. Hmmm think it's gonna take 2 wks for her to actually finish. Really happy I chose to put spacers in between the nodes to push them apart. 23/4/22 As you can see, there is lots and lots more growth. All very hairy with white pistils. More larfy really should have lollipoped this 1. I had no idea it would of came out like this as you are meant to take the lower ends of the growth, larfy bud and strip it before flowering starts as if you leave it too late 70% of that energy is gone and can't be taken back and given to the plant..So as soon as you top her if she's an auto and before she moves into stigma and she's looking like shes gonna be a big 1 strip the growth. I've read up a lot about it if you need more details wait till my next grows in a few wks or DM me. I'll be happy to share what I've learnt with you. I'm moving into DWC and will be running 2 19l pots 1 sterile and 1 with enzymes and root stims. The other will be ran on try pack and some bud enhancer foiler spray. It's the dual part try pack, no micro just dual grow and dual bloom and ripen for the last 2 wks. And have 2 bud enhancers from terra power for a foiler spray and will be using h202, haven't decided which one yet. For the other I'll be running a full 18 nute line up. Full enzymes, root stims and bactria of the highest cal. 50 billion microbes per 1ml, Crazy crazy stuff right. (BTW, Terra Power is a new nute company, new in the way of having their iwn brand but they hokd the pattens to some of AN best stuff, they made their bones off it, voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, and all rhe others they have taken AN nutes and pwrfected them with 21st centuray with autos and ruderails be 100% covered and more just in their base nutes) Anyways back to this grow. Going to finish her off and hope the rest of her turns ripe as atm she's sitting right on the 50/50 line clear/cloudy. Hoping she finishes up, if not I'm really considering throwing her back on nutes for the wk and just make bubble hash from the bud/larf/trim. We'll see. Looking like 100-150 wet if she bulks up. Who knows. Some of the larf has actually turned into nice hard nugs. Very nice, small and all but frosted and looking very tasty. But for all the effort if I'd of LP'ed her then I'd of been done on wk 16 on the first harvest and probably would of ending up getting a lot more. But as the energy mostly already used up in the making of all the larfy sites I had no option but to try finish her off in a 2 part harvest but even that wasn't enough for all the bud still that should have been stripped before it went into flower therefore the energy would have went into the nodes above and I'd of gotten a bigger yield on top. I can truly say, I have learnt sooo much in doing these 5 grows. Will be in the 300+ g dry altogether. Maybe even 350 which will be 3.5G/W Dry total for all 5 plants which isn't too bad at all. 26/4/22 So, here we are, coming to her end. So, I took a PPM feed and was 650 the base line of the flush liquid was 78 and the feeds for this week have been 5 in total of 200ppm without much run-off. So that's 1000ppm and I'm getting 573 back that's not been eaten. So hard flushed and got the ppm down to 78 and done with flawless at this point. Maybe tomorrow I'll give her 1ml/L. Will take a lot of fan leafs 2moro and chop the sugar leafs that aren't frosted and hopefully will give her that little extra push to finish cause the day of light on the leafs won't be enough to finish most of her. Or get her 70% there at least. Some buds are 60/40 amber/white and then some you can flip that number on its head and then theres the ones with like 10% ambers. But to my surprise about 70-95% of trichomes are cloudy and last week most were clear..So good results, let's she can we give her that little extra push and she comes down wed-Fri depending.

135 days 3 part harvest 1st was wk 16 430 wet= 97 dry: flowering 60+ days. 2nd part 105 wet= 20g Dry 3rd part well, I got a weight after 5 days of drying. It turned all the white hairs all amber and it actually finished off perfectly. The wet weight was a lot more than I was guessing. I got nearly 55g dry + 3 grams I've been picking up the last 2 days on bits that dried earlier as I hung it in my grow room. RH was 60% temp 21c. Had to remove nodes on the outside to allow the inner buds to dry. 40% was dry on day 3.5 rest took another 1.5 days to dry. This time I didn't over dry it. Still a nice bit of mostiure in it. I'd say the weight wait on this one was 200+ gave back 58Dry.. Was a task doing a 3 part harvest between partly flushing, restarting and then flushing and restarting and then finally I gave her a 10 day flush on flawless finish. She was dying off, showing she was coming to end of life. Really happy with the results of her, nice to get a decent amount of bud from the jars. This 1 plant will probably give more than the other 4. Smoke report to follow soon. Thanks for following, reading and commenting. Be sure to like so I can visit your diaries gottagrowsometime
