~ 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:
12/27- Week FIVE of flower...here we gooo!
I went ahead and gave her a drink of straight well water that was 73โ and ph'd to 6.4 as her pot was getting light. I'll let her dry out tomorrow and feed her the following day as she's a hungry girl!
12/29- Today the little Zkittles auto is looking vibrant and is basically all flowers!
I watered/fed her today to runoff with her usual 0.4g 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 6.4 @ 72โ and gave her pot a turn.
12/31- Oh my! The Auto Zkittlez by Seedsman is in overdrive now, going crazy stacking her six main branches top to bottom and she's beginning to get frostier by the day now!
I watered/fed her today to runoff with her usual 0.4g 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, Multi-Total @ 3.8 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1000ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.2 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.5 @ 74โ and gave her pot a turn.
1/2- Yesterday I gave the Zkittlez just enough straight 6.5ph well water to moisten her medium and turned her pot.
Today I finished out her 5th week of flower with a good watering/feed to runoff 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 1050ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.0 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.4 @ 72โ and gave her pot a turn.
There's 58 days since this girl broke ground and five weeks of flower on the books, with another 3-4 weeks to go until she's ready, this Seedsman Zkittlez Auto is going to be EPIC!๐คฉโค๏ธ
See you next week! ๐๐ค
~ 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
