Dusted roots with Tryfecta Myco Supreme (FoxFarms) and transplanted to 5 gallon pot w/ProMix HP. Temp: 75º RH: 78% + PPFD: 300 Day 4: 5-10ml ph 6.2 water feed. Temp: 75º RH: 75% + PPFD: 300 Day 5: Showing second set of leaves. Temp: 75º RH: 75% PPFD: 300 Day 6: Temp 75º RH: 75% PPFD: 300 Day 7: Temp 75º RH: 72% PPFD: 300 The Watermelon Zkittlez is doing well sowing small signs of wet feet or over watering. She got her second set of leaves started today. Will continue to mist spray a few times a day for the next week with no additional water added.

Watermelon Zkittlez is looking much better by the end of this week. Getting ready to take off for sure. Day 7: Watermelon Zkittlez showing second leaves coming in. Still slightly yellow, might be hungry or slightly over-watered. Will feed nutes in the next few days and see. Temp: 75º RH 75% PPFD: 300 VPD: .41 kPa Day 8: Just misting no water or nutes yet. Looking good. Temp: 75º RH 75% PPFD: 300 VPD: .41 kPa Day 9: Fed 2ml Cal-Mag, 2 ml FloraMicro, 1ml FlorGro, 1ml FloraBloom PH 6.2. Temp: 75º RH 70% PPFD: 400 VPD: .72 kPa Day 10: Responging well to nutes. Looking much darker green today, must have been hungry for nutes. Temp: 70º RH 75% PPFD: 400 VPD: .72 kPa Day 11: Growing and looking darker green today. New leaf growth. Temp: 77º RH 55% PPFD: 500 VPD: .67 kPa Day 12: Temp: 73º RH 62% PPFD: 500 VPD: .67 kPa Day 13: New leaf growth. Temp: 75º RH 60% PPFD: 500 VPD: .62 kPa Day 14: New leaf growth. Fed 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom and 2ml CalMag. Temp: 78º RH 61% PPFD: 500 VPD: .76 kPa

Day 15: Watermelon Zkittlez is looking strong. A little discolored but it is early growth and should work itself out. Kind of resembles watermelon rind to me which is quite the coincidence I think. First big feed: 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAgic, 1ml RapidStart, 1ml Floralicious Plus and 2.5ml Armor Si. RO water PH 6.0 Temp: 75º RH: 63% PPFD: 450 VPD: .53 kPa Day 16: She's looking about the same with some new leaf growth. I can't tell if she just has funky pigment in her leaves or if there is a deficiency going on. Her leaves look just like watermelon rind! Kind of weird but also maybe genetics. Will leave for now with no adjustments to nutes and see if new growth changes. No water no feed. Temp: 76º RH: 61% PPFD: 475 AVG VPD: .46 kPa Day 17: Happy, healthy, let grow! Applied first LST bend this morning. Should take nicely. Will feed tomorrow. Temp 77º RH: 55 % PPFD: 500 AVG VPD: .6kPa Day 18: Watermelon Zkittlez looks really funky. Something is going on with her but I'm not sure what exactly. There is clear pigmentation issues but again, why? Same nutes as all the other girls who all seem to be thriving. Can't figure it out unless it's genetic. Moved up and turned up the lights. Fed 250ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69º. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 575 VPD: .44 kPa Day 19: Looking good. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 20: Still looking good. New growth. Fed another 250ml RO water with 1ml RapidStart PH: 5.7 Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 21: End of Veg Week 3! Looking strong and healthy so far despite the extremely odd leaf colors. Close inspection shows some sort of deficiency or disease but all other ladies are receiving the same nutes in the same soil and grow conditions. All are very healthy. Has to be a genetic flaw in the bean. Will grow it out to see if it persists or corrects. Almost feeding/watering daily at this point, will up the solution volume and see if it will last a day or two longer. Fed 350ml-400ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69º. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 500-550 AVG VPD: .44 kPa

Day 23: Fed 750ml of 5ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 4ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi and 1ml Floralicious Plus PH: 6.2 Solution Temp: 69º PPM: 900 Tent Temp: 79º RH: 56% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 24: Watered only PH: 5.8 Tent Temp: 79º RH: 56% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 25: Fed 4ml FloraMicro, 4ml FloraGro, 6ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom and 10ml FloraNectar PH: 6.2 Solution Temp: 69º PPM: 900 Tent Temp: 79º RH: 56% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 26: Watered only PH: 5.8 Tent Temp: 79º RH: 56% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 27: No water no feed. Let grow. Tent Temp: 76º RH: 56% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 28: She still looks funky with that mosaic disease going on. Convinced it's a genetic deformation. Lite defoliation and LST. Fed .5gl 4ml FloraMicro, 4ml FloraGro, 6ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom and 10ml FloraNectar PH: 6.2 Solution Temp: 69º PPM: 900 Tent Temp: 77º RH: 55% PPFD: 600 VFD: .60 kPa Day 29: Experimenting with some rather heavy defoliating on the Watermelon Zkittlez. Figure she's pretty much a lost cause at this point with the mosiac disease going on, might as well experiment a bit. We'll see how she recovers from yesterday and today's defoliation. Removed most large/major fan leaves as well as a little undergrowth. No water no feed. Bumped lights up one notch to 8 on the controller. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 53% PPFD: 750 VFD: .66 kPa

Day 30: Let grow, no water no feed. Thick stalks, RapidStart doing an amazing job on those roots. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 53º PPFD: 700 VPD: .67 kPa Day 31: Watermelon Zkittlez looking slightly better. Great node spacing and structure. Still evidence of mosaic disease but not as much on the new growth. Will continue to monitor. Fed 4ml FloraMicro, 4ml FloraGro, 6ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom and 5ml FloraNectar. Solution Temp 70º PH: 5.8 PPM: 950 Tent Temp: 77º RH: 52% PPFD: 750 VPD: .66kPa Day 32: Watermelon Zkittlez almost starting to look normal. New growth does not show much signs of mosaic disease. We'll see what she does in the coming weeks. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 51% PPFD: 800 VPD: .67kPa Day 33: Let grow, no water no feed. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 52% PPFD: 750 VPD: .67kPa Day 34: Watermelon Zkittlez received some pretty heavy defoliation this morning. Removed several small bud sights from the bottom and a few fans. Watered .5gl RO water PH: 6.1 Tent Temp: 75º RH: 55% PPFD: 750-800 VPD: .58 kPa Day 35: Looking healthy and happy. Starting to get a slight skunky smell in the tent. Tent Temp: 75º RH: 55% PPFD: 750-800 VPD: .58 kPa Day 36: Ready for feed again. Cutting out FloraMicro on this feed, Cosmo and + Speed(s) showing slight signs of nitrogen toxicity. Fed 4ml FloraGro, 6ml FloraBloom, 2mg CALiMAGic, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 2.5ml Armor Si, 1ml RapidStart, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom and 10ml FloraNectar PH: 6.1 Solution Temp: 71º PPM: 925 Tent Temp: 76º RH: 52% PPFD: 750-800 VPD: .67 kPa

Day 36: Watermelon Zkittlez showing slight signs of nute burn. Going to flush tomorrow and just water for the next few feeds. Tent Temp: 78º RH: 52% PPFD: 800 VPD: .66 kPa Day 37: Flushed everything 2.5gl RO water PH: 6.2 Tent Temp: 78º RH: 52% PPFD: 800 VPD: .66 kPa Day 38: Just soaking up fresh, clean RO water. Tent Temp: 75º RH: 55% PPFD: 800 VPD: .57 kPa Day 39: Tent Temp: 75º RH: 55% PPFD: 800 VPD: .57 kPa Day 40: Watermelon Zkittlez showing slight signs of heat stress. Will be away from the grow for the next few days but will monitor remotely. Roommate feeding for me. Just water for the next 5-7 days need to get the nitrogen under control. Tent Temp: 75º RH: 55% PPFD: 800 VPD: .57 kPa Day 41: VACATION Day 42: VACATION

Day 43: VACATION Day 44: VACATION Day 45: VACATION Day 46: VACATION Day 47: In dangerous need of food! Thought I had left explicit instructions for feeding while I was away but apparently no. Watermelon Zkittlez received some defoliation (dead and yellowing leaves) as well as a big feed of 2ml FloraMicro, 4ml FloraGro, 5ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 2.5ml Armor Si, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom and 10ml FloaraNectar PH: 6.1 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 71º Tent Temp: 78º RH: 52% VPD: .49 kPa Day 48: Watermelon Zkittlez looking slightly happier today after feed yesterday. Her flowers look very whispy as compared to the rest of the ladies in the tent. Could be a side effect of the mosaic disease she started out with or could be that she started flowering several days later than the rest. Time will tell. No water no feed today. Tent Temp: 75º RH 52% VPD: .53 kPa Day 49: Looking about the same. Can't tell if she's happy, adjusting or figuring it out. Fed 1/2 gallon again of same Day 47 nutrient solution. Temp: 75º RH: 53% VPD: .61 kPa

Day 50: Watermelon Zkittlez may end up going outside to finish. She looks severely stalled to me with little to no growth in her flowers. Will give her another few days before making final decision. No water no feed today. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 51% VPD: .75 kPa Day 51: Going to feed again today and straight water on the next feed. 2.5ml FloraMicro, 4ml FloraGro, 5ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 2.5ml Armor Si, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Liquid KoolBloom, 10ml FloraNectar and 4ml Ripen PH: 6.2 Solution Temp 72º PPM: 850 Tent Temp: 78º RH: 49% VPD: .78 kPa Day 52: Straight RO water PH 6.2 Tent Temp 75º RH: 50% VPD: .52 kPa Day 53: Fed 2.5ml FloraMicro, 2.5ml FloraGro, 4ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAGic, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 2.5ml Armor Si, 10ml FloraNectar and 4ml Ripen.

Tent Temp: 76º RH: 51% VPD: 6.7 kPa PPFD: 1050 Day 61: Watermelon Zkittlez might be turning the corner. Hard to tell what she's doing since she had that mosaic disease early on. She did start to flower about 6 days after the rest so maybe she's just behind a week or so. Will continue to monitor. Fed 2.5ml FLoraMicro, 2ml FloraGro, 2.5ml FloraBloom, 2.5ml Armor Si, 1ml CALiMAGic, 10ml FloraNectar, 1ml Floralicious Plus and 4ml Ripen PH: 6.2 PPM 725 Solution Temp: 70º Tent Temp: 76º RH: 51% VPD: 6.7 kPa PPFD: 950 Day 62: No water no feed. Tent Temp: 78º RH: 48% VPD: 5.3 kPa Day 63: Last day of Week 6 Flowering. Will feed again tomorrow. Watermelon Zkittlez starting to fill in better but has a ways to go. Tent Temp: 78º RH: 48% VPD: 5.3 kPa

PH: 6.2 Tent Temp: 76º RH: 48% VPD: .79 kPa Day 75: No real change in leaf color yet. Tent Temp: 76º RH: 48% VPD: .79 kPa Day 76: Same. However, sure is hard to tell she EVER had any mosaic disease issues earlier in her life. Nice. Tent Temp: 78º RH: 50% VPD: .78 kPa Day 77: Another round of heavy defoliation. Watermelon Zkittlez does not lack in the leaf department. Lots of defoliation necessary. She looks absolutely incredible however. Flushed 10 gallons RO water 10ml FloraKleen PH: 6.2 Tent Temp: 77º RH: 49% VPD: .78 kPa

Day 78: Watermelon Zkittlez has lost a little color since second flush. Still has a ways to go. Trichomes all milky. Tent Temp: 79º RH: 51% VPD: .82 kPa Day 79: Tent Temp: 78º RH: 50% VPD: .72 kPa Day 80: Looking like she's got a few days left. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 49% VPD: .62 kPa

Again, had some disease issues in the beginning which were more than likely genetic and just an off bean I would imagine. It does happen from time to time. Other than that, she was a joy to grow and watch her stretch in early flower. Wish those flowers were a little denser but I do believe the mosaic disease int he beginning had an impact on final yield. Looking forward to another run of Watermelon Zkittlez.
