Zilky Zmooth I.H.G.

Only my 2nd grow. Small tent. personal meds. Wanted to try a zkittles strain IHGs z cube had good reviews (and good lineage) but no grow diaries hence me doing this. Germing under the grow light switch only on a 400w Meizhi 20/4 temp in tent 23c.

9 cracked fine one dud binned. Started 2 first and rest 2 days later. Have potted 5 in 1 L pots in a plagron light mix watered with r.o. PH ,d TO 5.5. IF all is OK I'll pot rest tomorrow. The potted 5 are under a 100w cod led. Small fan blowing across all 10. Never had regular seeds so am itching to find out just how many females I'll end up with.

all 9 coming on strong. Despite 3 day staggered germ not much between them. Planning to use 8L autopots late next week. Temps between 23-28c and they each drinking 100ml 48hrs. Just started on Gen200 control and grow (orthosalisilic acid) for root development. Potted up to 3L today. Could see the roots in all drainage holes yesterday. Will up to final 8 L next week.

all females! Transferred into 3L pots with no problem. Lst today....day 24 hst today as now full feed there bursting out Day25 nuts @ 650ppm. Now got 250w actual power draw cob leds . Hst7 topped 2. When I pinched stems best smelling was no.4 which is small.

I'm going in to week five of veg because of the time delay between them. the transfer to 8 L (final) went smooth. They love it! Most of them smell strong when being handled. None are showing any deficiency or excess. I am keeping ppms around 900 as IHG did post on their IG feed always keep and around 850 on 1St run to check tolerance of strain. I am very please. Still no sign of intersex traits (other reason not to push em) plan to flip 12/12 in next couple of day.

Flipped day 35. Autopot setup 2x twin 1x single. 40l & 25l reservoir 2 incase of sensitive ladies. 8l pot (couple of odd 15l but same vol. Soil as 8l. Pink tinge to fan leaf stems of 3. No males. No manners. Higher tap ppms so 3/4ro 1/4 tap until I get calmag. Am continuing hst & LST. Fimmed the tallest then accidentally snapped it 3cm underneath that. Tapped up looks OK today. Don't know how growers keep a job and a big grow. Mind boggles! Admiration to you all big or small!! Thanks for looking. Will update photos over next week. EDIT: growth spurt since flip 2L bottle for reference. Some ?balls on 3 Zz too small to photo.

Have gone to full RO with cal-mag. Have found and binned 1 male & 3 Hermie's (nuts +++). All appeared over +/- 96 hrs. 5 plants left (1 freebie) environmental factors same for all and split over 2 tents. Might have been the HST as the 2 that I topped early are doing grand. Although the one I accidentally snapped main stem is doing grand too! Have included her in the photos with a 500ml bottle or scale. Too busy destroying to take a proper snaps : ( PS if I starting over = early topping, LST. And be strict to keep ppms @850 or<

No balls!! Good job as calyxs grow and pistils bust out in no time. Buds are stacking fast & that's with ppms about 750.smell is coming on. Two interesting phenos8 is tall drink hard and is stacking (pic no 4) but smell is no way as good as zz5 who is bit shorter slower to drink & much darker green fan leaves. Took a wide shot of a tent so you can get scale. I tried cloning half a dozen just for practice but forgot to scrape bottom before putting in jiffy pellett. 1 survived

Crazy thing, if they had all been FEMS I wouldn't have the space for them. What's left just fits in two 1x1x2 tents

Zz#8 is good example. Remember i ain't training. Just leaf Tucking. When i put my arms in tent to leaf tuck and rotate pots, arm comes out with a strong hash smell and sticky. Small things make me Very happy!! No fruity smells yet, I have reduced terpinator for natural smell to come through.

2 balls found on a bottom branch of zz#8. After mid-flower flush but pre >of ppms. 1 was closed 1 open. Sprayed h20 all over & chopped them. This late in flower hoping damage will be minimal. Other than that uneventful week. Smell is modest. Only slightly fruity. Tallest pheno is still climbing! 1.7M. But that is unique. Rest are +/- 110cm. Trichomes are +++. Mesmerising when I open the tent. Keeping my fingers crossed. Photos later. Than 4 looking! Happy growing

Lowered the feed back to 750 due to tips having a bit of nute burn. Finding the odd ball on the lower branches of 2 of the plants the photos are of the offending lassies. The grapey smell is coming out now the orange pistils have arrived. The big pheno is 1.9m it makes me chuckle. I'm too embarrassed to she her to you!

Girls are all mezerizing but i cant get a shot that does them justice. One girl is autumning off and pistils are more orange than rest. I'll flush that one today with RO water pH 5.8 & give the rest few more feeds pre flush. Going to supplement with Mr Danks Special Boost up to flush! Tric production is very good on all. Smelling my arm after tucking, it is a light lime/mandarin smell with a woody background. Have cut a side branch off. This must be sampled.

END: Chopped all between days 65 & 72. I hang whole plant to slow the drying. I will complete the harvest section when Ive boxed it for curing. Am going to try to reveg the 2 plants with no gender issue. (Regret not doing with Royal Silk) worth a try._------------------Few pics. All buds are frosty+++. The tall girl (Larrietta) got to 175cm and got the best smell of all. The rest are about 1m +/- 10cm. Flushed & chopped 1 on day 56 other rest within a few day. Draw back of non organic feed is the final flush. Glad I only used 8l pots.

Scales broke but 4x 7L boxes 1/2 to 3/4 full. Happy with Zz. Keep Ppms <900
