Zkittlez day 50 Gorilla Glue day 45 Bit of an early update but its technically the start of week 7 so why not. I'll make it a quick one. Zkittlez is doing really well, the fasciated buds are looking pretty trippy, smells nice if touched, otherwise the aroma is quite minimal. I've deviated from a weekly feeding schedule, this strain seems to be quite hungry so im feeding her based off what i think she needs, judging by condition, leaf colour etc. There's only 1 or 2 tiny nute burn tips and they are old leaves, so may not even be nute burn. Gorilla Glue is slowly doing something, can't remember if i mentioned in my last update but i flushed her, put around 4 litres of water through the pot, Canna Terra is very good at holding water lol, despite being a very "fluffy" medium. I think i'll be adding some extra perlite for my next grow. I've been waiting for her to dry out before watering but today realised shes probably lacking in nutrients so gave her a feed with minimal water. She doesn't look great in the pics but every day shes starting to perk up a little bit more. She's starting to properly flower too, or at least trying to, its looking pretty messy. I imagine things will straighten out in a week now that it's back on track. I'll probably feed Zkittlez once or twice more then just straight water, with a proper flush at day 70, maybe sooner as judging by the speed of growth she might be down in a couple of weeks, but i do want to push it to see how far i can go, my previous grows have been harvested with milky trichomes, i'd like some more amber this time. Oh, i tried to run my lamp at 600watts, managed to get a stable temp of 29-30degrees celcius, but i had to have both vents open, extractor fan on high and both oscillating fans going. I don't think its worth the extra power and noise, so back to 400watt. Lastly, i've got everything running 24/7. figured its only $50-60 a month in power, its not a huge expense. Plus the Jalapenos i'm growing are find under 24hour light too according to the internet.

Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1 This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. I really think you would benefit from our tutorial series on youtube, Our channel is linked off our main grow diaries profile. We just put up week 3 of plant life care so you got time to subscribe and catch up before the next episode is out! I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback to better help me shape the tutorials Happy growing friend!

@LegacyMarketFarm, Hi friend, thanks for your comment and tips, i appreciate and welcome any and all constructive criticism, tips and suggestions :) Unfortunately there's not a lot i can do about the temperature swings at the moment, it's winter where i live and my grow space is in the garage (which is very cold and has no heating). I could run a heater/invest in temp control systems but to be honest i'm just a hobbyist grower, not too keen to spend any more money. Plus the garage has flooded before, so i don't feel comfortable running any sort of heating down there. The lights are only off for 4 hours, and the tent only gets down to the low temp of 13-14degrees Celsius for around an hour or so, i checked at about 2 hours into 'lights off' and the temp was 16.5degrees. Node spacing seems to be pretty good so far, there's a lot of bud sites and she's (zkittlez) is growing about an inch a night. So yeah, im fine with how it is at the moment :) and once winters over and things start to warm up a bit ill give photoperiods another go, until then its autos at 20/4 :) thanks again for your input.

Nice grow and I enjoyed reading the reviews. I might try Gorilla Glue at some point after reading this. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

@VertiGrow, thanks :) its a pretty popular strain apparently, personally its far from my favourite though, although that could be because of my stressed plant growing quite airy buds, still trying to unlock the solid nug achievement lol
