Day 15
Added some foil to the tops of the containers yesterday. Iβm not sure that Iβm going to keep it though as it doesnβt seem to have done much of anything to my water temps (plus it looks crappy). I think the best thing for me to do is keep changing water every 10 days and keep adding Hydroguard. The plants look healthy so far and I think Iβm going to keep doing what Iβm doing.
Day 17
Still cruising along here, no changes other than more growth. Theyβre getting visibly bigger every day. Iβll be changing the water out shortly but everything looks good.
Day 20
Well I took the weekend off of updates as per usual but these things are still growing. Finally seeing my PPM dropping although it is a small drop. I checked and there are many more roots in the pot. I will most likely change the water tomorrow. I had some other items to work on today.
Day 21
Alright weβre at 3 weeks old as of today. The plants look super healthy so far and I hope to keep them that way. Trying to decide if I will do any LST on them or not.
I took the opportunity to change the water out on the plants and below are the particulars after the water change:
Water PPM (before nutes): 150 ppm
Water PPM (after nutes): 1290 - 150 = 1140
Water temp: 69 after change, 71 typical daily average
pH: 5.8
Height: 6β
Distance from lamp: 25β
Lamp intensity: 75%
VPD: 1.1kPa average for the last week
Air Temp: 72.1 average for the last week
@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.
