FULL SPIDER FARMER SF-1000 KIT. GREAT PIECE OF KIT. THE G/W I EXPECT WILL BE AROUND 7+ G/W FOR ALL 5 PLANTS STARTED AT THE SAME TIME
NOT MUCH NEED FOR A FAN WHEN YOU HAVE THE INTAKE TURNED UP 100% air circulation is key and the fan gives it in spades. I also upgraded to a smart 4inch intake fan. Top piece of kit, that's a must to get a reading of RH/TEMP you can trust. I only wish I had it earlier.

Was an okay plant to grow (had a lot of fun, and man, I've learned so much by getting helps/experience/reading up, I cant wait for my next grow, im gonna kill it for sure) very demanding of things like micro nutes, cal, mag, zinc and things like that. As for the yield, well 167g wet plus the 10.7 and 4gramer I pulled of it puts it at 182g wet. Will update on dry weight and then after a months cure let's see where we stand with her, at the moment you get a nice head high off her, not too strong, nice day time smoke, for sure! e'll see if that changes with the cure. As you can see, the pot was only 2/3s full so would of slowed growth and so on. Hydro zkittlez is in much better shape and way more trichomes/Resin. It's here and all, but lacking a little. I wish I knew what I did now going into this, it would of been a dif grow altogether. It's not like I thought, drop a seed and watch em bloom, Hell no, it's no where near anything like that. Be in for headaches possibly heartache, and for sure a boat load of wtf's and "how did this happen", (But its not all bad, think of your first grow as a stepping stone to getting that bit closer to growing dank bud)good luck to all you growers out there.
As for the method: Well, the mix was a very strong 1. 60% compost and 40% cacti plant mix. Around 5-7 supersoil formula feeds created topsoil and with regular root stim/micro enzymes were able to bring her through most of the grow without having to add nutes, would of been a better setup for a photo plant as she was missing key micro nutes and showed in the late flowering phase, (main THC/RESIN production period). With the added big bud organic it helped but was a little to late, but it helped all the same. If I am to use this method again, which really there was no toxs with the supersoil formula and enzymes she pushed through and even in a high RH environment she still produced some nice bud, I'd say she sits pretty at around 12-15% THC and is mostly sativa focused.
Total 354 Grams from all 5 autos. 3.54 G/W as all 5 plants were started at the same time in a 70x70, not bad for a numb.

Quick update: after having a few joints you can really feel the head buzz, I've just spent the last 2 hours doing stuff that usually takes me 2 days to get through lol. Top stuff. Really fucking happy, espically atm :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: puff puff pass, "What Pass", fuck off and grow your own. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:. Jokes aside, I've learnt a lot, what to do, and what not to do. What helps and when to apply certain techniques to push my plants to the max, things like adding a grow nute for a wk in the last 3-4 wks of bloom, will increase resin/trichome and stripping growth, and other methods along the way. I can truly say, I've had a good experience doing this, very enjoyable and rewarding. Hopefully the better flowering conditions for my other flowering plants will help them be even stronger, already I'm seeing a massive difference in zkittlez coco as she is 3 times as sticky/pungent/trichomes/yield.

And as always, much love and support for our Ukrainen brothers&sisters struggling out there, you aren't alone.

God Bless you and your families may they stay.

Nutrients

Great nutes, love voodoo juice, piranha&tarantula, little expensive but hey, the quality is there these nutes are key for root stim/fungi/micro enzymes. Big bud organic came a little to late for this grow. But I'm sure it WORKS wonders and all. Top stuff, but you'll pay top $

Love this stuff, it's soooo potent. Bit expensive but for what it does and how versatile it is, it can be used in all products and holds a steady PH with a mix of 14nutes or just 1, makes the ppm in water jump from 78 to 200 , in nutes it doesn't really affect the PPM. Top stuff.

Great fall back nute for sickly plants. I used this throughout my grow really high PH but a little PH- sorts it out. Smells awful....that's a good sign.

Tents

Spot on, the light and tent are of the highest of quality, easy to put together and does exactly what you expect it to do. GREAT price also you really get quality. Love it.

354 Grams Dry from 100 watt light doing 5 autos at the same time. 3.54G/W

Commented by gottagrowsometime gottagrowsometime

182 grams wet 41.5 grams dry. There was a lot of trim but wasn't worth holding as there was not enough trichomes on it to make it worth smoking. Was a little disappointed but after a joint or 3 I feel great, great head high, makes you very motivated, gets the creative juices flowing. Love it.

After a few days of having this smoke it's very nice indeed. I have around 20g in jars curing and I've smoked 17g or so. Have a few grams left but I'm going to try hold off and let the rest cure. It's nice and all as it is, but let's see can we get her any nicer if not strength then taste. And I truly believe there's much more this plants taste. Very nice taste, nice organic bud. Very nice head high that allows you to get stuff done and also after awhile you get that nice drowsy feeling that lulls you to sleep

Smoke review

41.5 grams dry from 181 g wet. Not bad. But overall could be better. The zkittlez hydro is 3 times more resin/trichomes. But the bud is nice, full smoke already, no planty/earthy smell. Just zkittlez. The grow overall was very enjoyable/teachable, I've learnt soo much from doing my first set of grows it's really set me up to completely improve on methods and how and when I give nutes/defol/top and much more. I had a few micro nutes issues and showed immobile nute signs around the sugar leafs, meaning the THC/RESIN production dropped and is considerable lower than both my 3 other girls. Yet, I am still happy with this girl, in better RH conditions she thrives and produces lots of trichomes/Resin, my other zkittlez hydro I was able to drop the RH down from over 70% to 57-60% for most of the flowering and man it makes a massive difference. I can't wait till my 500$ dehumidifier gets here. It's gonna change my grows, for the better.

Stone: It starts of mild and before you know it you'll be flying around cleaning or getting your creative juices a flowin. After you've had a few joints, bongs and that, (Or if your like me, than a lot), the head high creeps in to a nice body relaxation high, and you'll fall back into your sofa, put up your feet and have a goof. Had a nice sleep last few nights on this but also got me through the day without being a zombie with bloodshot eyes.

6/10 trichomes

7/10 smoke quality

Grow Questions
gottagrowsometime week 1 started grow question 1 year ago
Stem trapped and bent.
So, I seen all my seeds were popping, so I checked out zkittlez organic and I could see the brown seed shell and was on its side, so I poked and proded and pult out a bent over stem, with a part of the shell husk not apart of the process, how will this effect it?

Never touch a sprout. You risk damaging the very tender sprout when you "help". If the seed/sprout is healthy it will do everything it needs to. It doesn't need help shedding the seed husk and needs no help emerging from the ground.

LST??? TO EARLY??
Is it too early for LST? I'd like the 2 main colas to be sticking up more, will I leave that to the growth or should I start training it now? I have the right stuff for lst, ties and that green sponge wire. Or will I wait till it finishes it's 3rd week at least. New to dis, so...

Generally i start training at the 3rd node.
The technique you want to use,is called Mainling.

Nice grow. Great diary and very informative. I'm taking notes. I have a question why do u flower at 15/9 and what is the benefit? Any insight is appreciated. Happy budding

@Tommy716, ooo.. this was my 1st grow. I should of ran it at 18-6. As autos don't need a 12-12. You can run them from 18-6 or some ppl run 24-7.. but it's best to give them some rest. As no plants get 24-7.

Nice grow and diary. Big props on the details and notes too - quite an interesting journey!

"7+ G/W" That must be a world record dude...that is probably the highest numbers EVER hit by a grower!
So this grow indicates a 20 watt light.....hmmmm That cannot be right , or is it a typo? 20 watt light can barely grow leaves much less buds.
