Day 9
Alright, a new week! My water temp got a little hotter today so I changed the fan scheduled for lights off to drop the water temp more at night and give me more of a buffer.
Day 10
Iβm running with the door to my room open today (just slightly) and the plants are doing well. There is a measurable difference every day with these things. I looked at all the harvested journals on growdiaries for this strain and noticed that they stay pretty small but produce well. Iβve got an intake fan on the way to add to my setup. EDIT - added but it just didn't change anything - in fact, it made the temp higher so I sent it back.
Day 13
I took the weekend off of updating my diary but itβs Monday so Iβm back at it. The plants are growing well and I have some roots in the water now. Iβm going to continue to monitor this and let adjust the water level accordingly when changing water. Temps are the same, pH the same, everything is rock-steady so far, with the understanding that Iβm very early in this grow.
Day 14
Bumped my lights up from 50% to 75% today. Weβll see what this does to my grow box temps. Iβll be monitoring moving forward. Other than that, I noticed roots out of the bottom of the pots in the water yesterday. Thereβs not a lot here right now but Iβll continue to monitor this as well. Another observation I had was just the differences in the two plants. One is squat and wide with large leaves and the other plantβs structure is more vertical and compact with smaller leaves. Not a lot of vertical growth this week for both plants but very noticeable growth overall.
@sandspur, I truly love growing these weeds and I'm stuck at home because of my health so my fun is online talking about these beautiful plants. Happy growing my friend ππ±π»
@Cyrusdavirus,please don't apologize. I appreciate your input and typos happen all the time. Either way, I'm looking forward to it for a lot of reasons and I'm going to enjoy it sativa or indica dominant. Thanks again for the time you give others.
@sandspur, just went over there to double check and you are right it does say it's a sativa dominant strain. I haven't grown Seedsman's zkittles and actually can't remember who the breeders were but it was a little indica plant I remember because it was such a mix of pretty colored buds. Maybe what they crossed it with to make it autoflower is what makes it more sativa from the ones I grew π€ don't know sorry for the confusion π€·
@GmansGarden, thank you. It was but I've stripped it a bit this week. I want to keep it healthy but thin it out for the last part of the grow to give the buds max light. My update today will show it thinned out.
@sandspur, a great man once said " if your not killing plants , your not growing; if you don't push yourself past the limits you will never know how far you can go"
That being said it's always nice to try a new method and make it work !!!
@Cyrusdavirus, thank you. They are doing really well. The pictures just don't do it justice. This is my best grow to date. Not high on style points but substance is really good here.
