Week 11 5/3/22 D72 Well, I'd say I would have had a beast on my hands if the roots would of been able to get through the Substrate. I only noticed in week 9 why the plant turned out the way she did, and why she was finished so early as to compared to the CBD organic which is 10 times more bud, she is still 3-4 weeks from being close to done and yet the organic has more new growth than all the combined 86 grams wet I got from the CBD HYDRO. It was a simple case of root trapmeant that stunted her growth and forced her into early flowering and stopped growth that and the N tox that happened early and all the beginner mistakes. Done some HST on the 1st set of nodes and the whole 2 nodes from that set was covered from tip to bottom in bud, but the 2nd set of nodes up, I only HST'ed 1 node from the 2 and well, I think you need to HST both nodes as the one that wasn't HST'ed grew huge and the one that was was stopped in growth as soon as I applied HST on that 1 node from the set. So, HST does work, but the energy/stress needs to be uniformed like the first set was. So now I know, if applying HST on 1 set of nodes both must be done on both nodes relating to that set. Took the top off that weighted 23.5 grams wet and took 3.5 days to dry in my electric herb dryer 4.9 grams was returned and put in a jar after I Had a joint of it, and it tastes lovely. Really nice smoke, have to say I was worried about the Flawless finish but it was a great thing to add. No chemical cough. Really nice bud, if a little larfy. I gave a rough trim and will take about .5-1g of more trim when she's fully dried. As ive learned from reading over this grow, that I should have lowered N and increased P-K for denser buds aswel as making sure the substrate isn't to heavily packed. Will update on overall dry weight. Which I reckon won't be over 20g. Sad, I know, but even smoking it as it is now, my partner said it was sooo strong, she was very chatty and then got nice and mellow and very h.... and then, we went to bed early, enough said. I've no complaints at all for this strain. For me, as a heavy THC smoker I get very little from CBD but I even felt a little boost and more energy as it was my first smoke of the day. Will update with overall dry weight and smoke report in more detail and pics of the root trapmeant as I have yet to open air-pot.

Well, this is my first grow, but I can tell you these are great nutes, and if you look at my other grows you can see what they can do. It's just that the set up of the substrate hampered the grow 100%. These nutes speak for themselves when used in the right setting. PH is in the normal range of 6.2-3 with an even mix, even without the PH perfect nutes added you can tweak the PH by adjusting it slightly with nutes with different PH, only takes a little of each nute to change the PH to desired amount without having to add too much of a certain nute affecting the PPM/EC too much.
This stuff, I bought as a fall back. She is a great nute to have as a fall back if your plants fall sickly. When used solo you do need a PH- as 2ml/l sends 6.3 distilled water to a PH between 10.5-11.5 depending on your base PH. But applying it to PH nutes in a more normal range it isn't that potent in controlling the PH it falls in line with PH perfect nutes. Nothing bad to say about this product. It is on the more expensive side, but to have such a potent fixer for sickly plants is needed. She's great if you have nute lock and need to flush by just applying her it'll be enough for your plant while your plant sorts it's nute uptake out.
Wow, is all I can say. This stuff is amazing. 1ml/l will bring a PH of 8.5 down to 6.5/7 depending on the base PH before applying. It does drive normal 78ppm water up to as far as 200ppm but if you mix your nutes. Then say need to adjust PH and the PPM is say 900 when added to water with nutes already in it there is no change to the PPM. Great stuff, I'd never use any other PH-, has biobizz is a brand that works great in soil, but also works well in any sub as it's Just to control PH, and it's organic too, which is great.
Reviews. Lamp
What can I say, this light is amazing. I don't have any other experience with other lights but with a ppf of close to 900 and a 2.7um. It's really a top brand light and you can feel the quality in it. All accessories that come with it are of the highest quality. I'd love to be able to try a SE series or one of there new lights. Viparspectra will also be a contender if I decide to upgrade, but for what I need it for, 5 plants in a 70x70 took it like a dream and loved it, not to strong that you don't have to worry to much about big grows in small tents. As she puts off very little heat, if anything I'm going to be adding a heater to my next grow. Great light β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† for the price!! Based on 5 plants using 100 watts for 5 plants as all were grown at the same TIME. Total G/W is down below. Total 3.54 G/W from all 5 plants.
Reviews. Tent
Well, one thing I can say, they didn't skimp on the building of the tent. The materials are of the highest quality and the zips alone and windows, mesh netting, poles, light fixtures, openings for lights you can fully seal up to stop any unwanted pests. I know you might be thinking I'm saying this just cause i bought it, but before buying anything I do my homework and @spiderfarmer is the best kit/light and accessories you can buy in this price range. I'd even go as far as saying there are superior to much higher cost setups. Unless i get sponsors or offers to test other setups, (yes, I'm a dreamer lol), I will more than likely stick with spider farmer lights. But I've also been looking into viparspectra(xs2000) and ACINFINTY, (for tent and intake fan) for my next set up down the road. But, for anyone wanting to get a decent kit in the mid ranged prices this brand is up there. Having a little trouble with the intake fan making a funny clicking noise but am waiting for them to get back to me with a fix or replacement intake fan. UPDATE spider farmer got back on to me the next day after I sent a video of the noise the fan is making and all they said was they weren't happy leaving me with a product that could fail, so there sending me a brand new one.....β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† kit&services

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 5Γ·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 Γ·20watts=0.95grams per watt.

Okay this might be a stupid question, bare with me, I'm new to this. So, it says ph on the sides of some bottles some are 3.5 but go all the way up to 7.8. How will this effect my set ph 6.3 ph setup I'll be using before I put the nutes in. Will I have to add ph down. Read down..

I check ec level before I add any nutes to get a base line then check again after adding. I wait usually 15-20min and check pH with the tester and ph down accordingly I'm running hydro and I bring mine to 5.8 and let rise and lower as needed to allow all nutes to be taken in. Hope this helps!

Nutes question. So, my order finally came, and I have 14 AN. But my question is, though the 2 weeks of growth are over can I slip in a weeks feed of Pirana&Tarantula or will I just wait for the first 2 weeks in flower as directed by feeding chart? Will it hurt the process?

Hello Piranha & Tarantula are just friendly fungus and microbes that attach to the roots and help gather sugar for the plant. You can't hurt anything if you use it at small doses with every watering. Chuck.

Does anyone have any questions to as why CBD HYDRO has looked like it's reached its full maturity, I know it's not going to get any bigger prob just bigger buds right? That can't all I'm gonna get is it? My others hydro looks ok, this has a full smell profile. 2nd pic okay!

Some plants mature faster then others, it the luck of the draw with autos. Sometimes they veg for 3 weeks other times 7. Your cbd is faster along its track then the zkittles plant. It is not yet done though, Once buds form they will start to smell and get sticky. If you growing the same seeds and strains you will notice some strain are more smelly then others or just have different smells. That's its Phenotype expression. It looks like it will continue to thicken up and maybe grow a bit more taller but nothing crazy in term of height. Keep at it, they are looking good. Best Of Luck!

It happens sometimes...you get an auto that behaves a little more like a photo. That Zkittlez will be beastly if you stay on track and feed her well. She's gonna take a while...but yes, she might even be a half-pounder...

@Silverback_Guerilla, yeah I'm hoping she'll be a beast and not a popcorn bonanza. Yeah she's weeks off from being done. There is sooo many bud sites all in dif stages. I was gonna strip all the underdeveloped growth but there is so much of it that I'll probably be better off doing 2 harvests. Top half and then give the rest however long it'll take. But more than likely she has another 4-5 wks left. Just a guess, but yeah we will see. Thanks for dropping by.

Awesome job bro.... I was reading your comment on your grow and seen that you thought you had pH lock in your runoff was high at like 28 or so and I just wanted to let you know if you use dry amendments in your soil your plants will only take in what they need from the soil. Whereas using liquid nutrients in your water they intake that water so the intake all those nutrients at once. if you amend your soil they take them in as needed... This is my first cannabis grow but my brother has managed three greenhouses in the past and now he has a huge grow of his own for medicinal in missouri.

@FullTankGardens, doesn't matter if it's your first grow, if you know what to do you know what to do. And what you said makes sense.

@DutchGrownGreens, oh man. I just took a tester. The pic is a few pics back and it had no hints of purple and looked nothing like them, and you can sew all the clear trichs. Had .45 cone back from 2.1 and fuck me it's so strong and is hardly done. And we still have 2 wks of flowering and hopefully she'll pack on nice l9ng trichs/resin. You can see sugar/trich balls when you look up close. It's top quality bud. Delighted, and very st9ned atm lol. Just smoked the. 45 tester a joint/b9ng and I'm waxed. Bit harsh and she had lots of clear trichs and was far from being done. Thanks for dropping by buddy!!!

Yep my other diary had the same problem they stayed short all the way through I had 4 down and they were all between 40/60cm i think I might not have stored them properly Iv had the seeds about 6 months in a bag in the shed I did have 2 down to begin with but one died it was even smaller than that one πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈIv put another 2 down to make up for the loss they have sprouted and got their first leaves and seem to be doing ok Iv not started a diary yet I’m going to see how they grow first. Thanks for the advice on re vegging I suppose I’ll have to see how much it stretches over the next few weeks good luck with the rest of your grow and hopefully it’s more than just a few Gs at the end πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

@Dean1, that's the thing about seeds they do ok for short time max 2-3 weeks out of reg temp which should be between 8-10 degrees. Does ur area reach that low in temp. But even if it does at night I'm sure it's not 24/7. Idk, some seeds strains can be weird. I gave my friend 2 Zkittlez that were left over, kept em in my bedroom and lowest temp there is 21c and he planted 2 weeks ago after 6 wks of been in my room and they only 1 germinate. And that is lookin like shes gonna be a runt but early days. Best 2 just buy new seeds they cost very little. Best of luck anyways pal.

With your temps on the cooler side you will for sure have some super dense caked nugs. You could gently and slowly walk those temps up to meet at were you should be for flower at this stage which would be 77 lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. Your bud development stage has not ended yet so we can squeeze a bit more size out of them if we catch it soon enough now.
