AC Infinity Advanced Grow System AC Infinity Germination System AC Infinity Bottom Feed Wick System AC Infinity 5 Gallon Fabric Pots Sohum Living Soil 90% light intensity Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect 3 Part Bloom Product Line. Based on the average size of this strain, LST will be done as well as defoliation. They will be joined in about 20 days by Mimosa Autoflower from Royal Queen Seeds. May 8, 2023 Still germinating May 9, 2023 Still germinating Currently in the Germination System lights out. Heat mat on low Tiny Exhaust Fan on low Temp: 76.1° RH: 61% May 10, 2023 Both ladies germinated and are going strong. One popped surface last night with the other one getting ready to pop today. Lights out until the other one pops the surface. Temp is about 77° RH is around 73% Quick update: the other seedling popped late this morning. We officially have germinated 2 Zkittlez Autoflowers. And the journey begins! May 11, 2023 Both ladies have popped surface and look great! One is significantly taller than the other already. I don't really see any issues, but it's interesting how much height difference there is. Both are very healthy looking. The environment is a bit of an issue. I can't get the temp down to 75° with high humidity. Gotta work on that. The lights are really warm and with the heat mat, it's sitting between 79° and 82°. Too warm for my liking. Maybe it's not? But I also cannot get the humidity to stay above 60% now and I'd like it in the 70's. Germination Center Environment Temp: 77.3° RH: 56.8% VPD: 1.37 kPa May 12, 2023 These 2 are quite vigorous. Both shot up very quickly. Luckily, I have a 10" riser for my Germination Center. Temp: 79.8° RH: 86.3% VPD: 0.48 kPa May 13, 2023 Quick update for Zkittlez. They have hopefully slowed down on stretching and focus more on producing leaves. They're already about 3" tall. I also think I need to get better lights for the Germination System. These just don't seem bright enough. Germination System Environment: Temp: 80.2° RH: 78.8% VPD: 0.74 kPa May 14, 2023 Both ladies have already outgrown the shorter dome so I had to add the extension today. They are both looking great and strong. They have also stopped the stretch and are now working on leaf production. I have turned the heat pad back on to make up for the extra air space. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 69.2% VPD: 0.91 kPa May 15, 2023 Zkittlez One is taking off. She already started stretching her first node. Zkittlez Two is just behind. I expect her to pop right up with her sister in the next couple of days. I'll be checking their roots out today. If they are showing I will have waited too long. Chances are, I will be placing them in the grow tent in the next coue days or sooner. Germination System Environment Temp: 80.6° RH: 76.5% VPD: 0.83 kPa May 16, 2023 Today is the last day in the Germination System. Tomorrow will be the first day of vegetation and will be put in the grow tent along side a Do-Si-Dos Cookies. They will also be joined in about 13 days with a pair of Mimosa Autos from Royal Queen Seeds. They are both working hard on their first set of leaves. Zkittlez Two is a bit shorter and a tiny bit behind in growing. I'm not worried about it. I'm sure it will catch up in the veg stage. The environment is a bit of a struggle with heat. I cannot for the life of me get the temp below 80°. (I also can't get my grandpa to turn the effing heat off) The humidity is nearly on point. Everything else looks great! They get a misting 2 to 3 times a day. They also have a nice level of water on the bottom of the tray. Germination System Environment: Temp: 80.7° RH: 69.1% VPD: 1.11 kPa Update: I checked the roots on the ladies and they are completely outgrowing the root riot plugs. So instead of planting tomorrow, I immediately planted both of them in their final 5 gallon containers. They are in the tent and covered by Starbucks Domes (fancy). The RH is set low for a flowering plant in the tent, so domes will stay on for as long as possible. They will continue to get misted 2 to 3 times a day for the next week or so. This starts the lives of these Zkittlez Autoflowers.
