Well after failure fist time around after germination we go again,.. seeds germinated 24th and broke soil 26th ,.. conditions should be perfect, roll on next few weeks 👌
Well 1 week from breaking the soil,
I think they both look fine comparing to other diary's, roll on this time next week, should start to see some proper growth and also start the nutrient chart, will be using all biobizz Nutrients on there lite mix feeding chart.
Very good week, used tie down method day 19 and they bounced back well within a day, started there veg feed today day 21 by adding fish mix, roll on next week.
Day 28 today start of week 5 and showing a few white hairs, defoliated and tied down again a couple days ago and bounced back as they should,.. dropped humidity levels abit and will be starting there next weeks feed maybe tomorrow with added bloom nutrients as per biobizz feed guide,.. again roll on next week,... zkittles front left smoothie back right, how we looking guys 🤔
Start of week 6, zkittles is a little behind the smoothie so going to keep zkittles on last week's feed for a few days but smoothie has started week 6 schedule today,.. tied down, defoliated and using a scrog has gave both girls a really wide stance which is what I wanted as I don't have a lot more height to play with,... getting there now, loving fastbuds auto strains so far,... roll on next week 👍
Another good week smoothie really coming along now zkittles still seems a bit behind she is going I can tell by the white hairs ect but not sure if I've hindered her in anyway , maybe stressed her abit with defoliating I'm not sure,.. starting week 7 now... appreciate any input 👌
Any input people would appreciated,.. not sure why zkittles looks behind the smoothie I know they have slightly different grow times but I expected zkittles to be more into flower now than she is but may just be me... 🤔
Why are you worried?
Different strains, different flowering times.
Heavy defoliation can delay/slow flowering too.
Stick with photoperiod plants would be my advice, autos are not all they are made out to be and in my experience, offer no advantages over what can already be achieved with photoperiod plants..........unless you can not figure out how adjust timers!
Just from what I've seen on other zkittles diarys they seem to be abit further along at this point than my one that's all ... I have grown normal photoperiod plants before,.. main reason for trying autos is the time difference that's all, thanks for reply 👍
Thanks for the reply ,.. I have been taking fan leaves off and I've never seen anything like this zkittles to be honest the rate the grow back is crazy... thanks again for reply.
Zkittles defo hit stretch this week and started showing more bud sites, smoothie has been as straight forward as always ,.. everything looks good to me, defoliating zkittles is crazy, the rate the leaves grow back I've never seen anything like it but hopefully now will start putting the effort into the bud sites,... roll on next week 👌
Hi, I have just uploaded a new video to this week, I did a leaf defoliating last night just uncover some of the bud sites and this is how the smoothie looks this morning,... any idea how I can bring her back, not sure what to do or if anything,... thanks people.
When the whole leaf is curled it means you’ve been overwatering or letting roots sit in water too long. Nitrogen toxicity tends to only curl the tips and leaves will be very dark.
Cheers everyone honestly appreciate it all,.. I've tested ph of soil that was fine, I've flushed the smoothie with water about 4.5litres till it started running clearer and I've made sure the fans not hitting it directly,... should of covered All angles so hopefully should see her bounce back, thanks again to everyone 👌👍
Well what an eventful week, after trying to get her to bounce back, the smoothie has been put out into my outdoor grow house, if she finishes I'll take it as bonus buds, had to weigh up the pros and cons and figured giving the zkittles all that free space and concentrate on her would be best,.. first run on autos so you live and learn,.. zkittles is now on a adjusted week 9 feed, dropped the bio grow by half and just knocked the others down a little but, don't want to go through the same thing again with her,... she looks well though, what do you guys think?.. 🤔 day 56, roll on next week 👌👍🤞
Just focusing on the zkittles now,.. she is focusing on fattening up, not gone any taller this week, I noticed a bit of yellowing around some edges of the leaves, I've added a bit of calmag to this week's feed, and last week I did a somewhat diluted version of biobizzes feed chart,.. any advice on how you guys think she's looking would be appreciated,.. roll on next week 👌 ** update ** 28th, I've started flushing now after abit of advice planning on a 2 week flush that takes her to 77 days which is what fast buds say on there site is top end for this zkittles auto,... ** update update ** after speaking with fastbuds they think there is 3-4 weeks left here so I've added bloom, topmax, heaven and acti Vera back to the feed 🤦♂️
Hi guys, me again 🤦♂️ lol,.. everything's looking OK, just wondering if this is a deficiency of some kind,.. I added calmag to this coming week's feed just incase it was that,.. any ideas always appreciated, thanks people 👍
I've added a couple photos to this question.
Dude you're not looked out at all, you showed no signs for all this time and likely didn't change much from the routine so I highly doubt it's lockout, you're coming up and the finish line they're going to start drawing the last bit of nutrients they can from the ends of your leaves all 100% natural, don't add anything or change your routine, stop feeding period and start flushing with ph water, wait chop, dry and enjoy....They're 100% ok
As you're nearing the end. And entering the ripening phase. Maybe just dump 5-10L of water and she should unlock herself depending on your feeds from the past and ever enter ripening stage.
But, drop your grow that's for 1 thing.
As its defo not needed at this stage.
Okay. I've seen what you're using.
Way to many cooks in the kitchen pal.
She has very green leafs. Meaning she has N tox and more than likely got locked out.
Also cut back on the feeding. Water/ferts.
Your roots are finding it hard to breath. Hence the tips. So she's just drinking water basically.
I've gotten this from having to feed from the bottom with just water when trying to rid myself of gnats. Too much water. And, as she's locked out that's all she's drinking.
Cut back on what you're using. Or split them up. But defo drop the ml/l. All you need is 5-700ppm, max 2 feeds a week with soil following up with water or a very low cal or mag feed in between.
Try keep your PH water/ferts the same or as near as you can.
But I'd hard flush that. As she's an auto. U don't have the luxury of long flowering times to soft flush.
3x the value of your pot so if 5l 15L of water for a hard flush. Or you can 2x it and wait to see does she unlock herself and start eating again and then after a week start on nutrients again. If you do hard flush. Wait at least 3 days. And then apply a very low dose as I said 5-700ppm a week, 2 feeds with water in between to help break down any leftover residues..ie ph makers, nutrients that weren't used up.
Good Growing
Well after different bits of advice last week I decided to take fast buds advice and keep feeding, she's on day 70 now all her leaves are fading, I'm guessing this is just because she is coming to the end of her cycle,.. still not sure when to start flushing as fast reckoned there was 3-4 weeks left that was 7 days ago so now still 2-3,.. I reckon 1 more week of food but just what I've put on the nutrient list nomore and then start a flush, just to say I appreciate all and any advice given to me I just followed fastbuds advice as I thought probably safest option. Thanks everyone. Roll on next week 👌
Well today is day 77 and after looking at trichomes there are still plenty cloudy but alot Amber so I've started a flush on friday plan on a 1 week flush so that would take it to day 81, if it still needs longer I'll do a 2 week flush but like I say after looking at trichomes there's alot Amber so she's obviously ready,.. there's purples coming in the buds now all leaves faded and dying off, hopefully these colours pop abit over the next few days. What do you reckon people 🤔,.. roll on Friday
First time growing autos and ready to go again, smoothie got the toxcicity, well that's what we settled on eventually but by slightly diluting the feed next time I don't think we will have an issue,.. Zkittles was straight forward, took to lst, enjoyed all her feed,.. all in all very very happy and autos specifically fastbuds autos will be continually ran from now on for me... Very happy 👌👍
