The big news this week is that I thinned the top out and hopefully everything will stay healthy as we finish the grow. I've got more humidity than I like but it's hard fighting summer time, even indoors. I'll hook up my dehumidifier as we start to build more buds.
Day 64
Nothing of note today, which is a good thing after the defoliation of the lower part of the plant. Things seem to be going well.
Day 65
Added 2 gallons of liquid to the reservoir today, other than that the plant seems to be doing well.
Day 69
Big holiday weekend so the updates havenβt been as often. Added 3 gallons of water/food mix today. The plants have recovered nicely and buds are forming nicely.
Day 70
Ten weeks old today. Today we took another big step in getting the plant foliage under control and I cleaned up the top of the plant. I couldnβt do this when I did the bottom last week as it may have been too stressful on the plant from taking so much. I will probably do a water change tomorrow and keep my eye on the plants to ensure they stay healthy.
PPM at end of week: 1170
Water temp: 71
Air temp: 72
pH: 5.8
Height: 43

@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.
