~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~
Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry)
Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds.
Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest.
The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source.
This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.**

Weekly Update:
12/20- Here we go into the fourth week of flower for this little lady!
The Seedsman Zkittlez Auto is doing fantastic so far and Honestly I was a little concerned that she might get root bound and that it would negatively affect her, but she's doing great so far!
She seems to be doing well getting watered/fed every other day right now and only shows a very slight sign of drooping before I water/feed again after a day of drying out thoroughly.
Today she was given 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Explode @ 3.8 ml/g, Silica Von Liebigโs Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1200ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.4 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.3 @ 72โ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5 minutes, I turned her pot 1/4 turn.
12/22- Well the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto is looking like a Rock Star with excellent color, great vigor and she's stacking her flowers like crazy... What more could I ask for?๐๐
Today she was given 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Explode @ 3.8 ml/g, Silica Von Liebigโs Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1200ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.4 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.5 @ 73โ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5 minutes, I turned her pot 1/4 turn.
12/24- ๐๐ MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!๐ ๐
12/26- Yesterday, for Christmas, I fed/watered her (she was drooping) to runoff with 0.25g of well water, that has a base ppm of 100, to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Explode @ 3.8 ml/g, Silica Von Liebigโs Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1200ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.4 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.3 @ 74โ.
Well there's four weeks of flower behind us now and she's got at least another 2-3 weeks in her for sure... stay tuned, it's getting ready to get exciting! See you next week fam! ๐๐คโค๏ธ
~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the โค๏ธand support you give! ๐What you grow - Grow what you๐
BTW, don't forget to calibrate your bluelab instruments if you haven't done it in a while. I recently started a new grow and noticed how the pH was weird. I calibrated my bluelab, and it was 0.5 off.
@TheCannaProphet, Wise move. I meant to calibrate mine before I started but "forgot," meaning I was a lazy stoner and ignored it, lol. Fortunately, I caught it early.
@love_2_grow, I appreciate the good advice! โค๏ธFortunately, I calibrate mine before each run, then again half way through. That way, no surprises! ๐
@Hydro_Hiebs, I've grown Zkittlez Auto's several times in everything from 4g to 10g pots and this one in a .5g popcorn bucket has the largest flowers of any I';ve grown and yes, if you close your eyes and smell it you'd swear there was an open bag of Zkittles under your nose... she is definitely LOUD! ๐คช๐ฅ
@Jobbie, Thank you so much!โค๏ธ This one's stress free, just for fun and so far has been a blast watching this little lady take off! May your holidays be safe and Blessed! ๐๐
