Zkittlez Autoflower

May 24, 2023 Day 15 Both plants are doing fantastic. I was hoping for them to be a bit bigger by now, but I think this is the real first week of veg. Zkittlez One is the bigger of the two. However, it seems that the Zkittlez Two is just a bit behind. She may end up being a smaller plant, but identical in looks, or just a slightly slower grower. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75° RH: 65% May 25, 2023 Just realized that these ladies are already in week 2 of veg, so I started the Advanced Nutrient schedule. Both ladies look great and very happy. They got a reservoir refill and about 1/4 gallon of nutrients. I expect to see both ladies take off after they get this stuff in their system. Soil moisture should have also increased. Grow System Environment: Temp: 70° RH: 60% May 26, 2023 These ladies are picking up the pace now. Zkittlez One is definitely enjoying her life. Zkittlez Two is also enjoying life, but is just a little bit smaller. Both have taken to the watering and nutrients so far. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72° RH: 60% May 27, 2023 These ladies are both super happy. Today I harvested the last plant of a previous run. So they have the tent all to themselves until I pop a couple Mimosa Autoflowers from Royal Queen Seeds. It's a 70 day strain, so I'll be planting those in a few days. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73° RH: 50% May 28, 2023 DLI: 20.1 Light Distance: 33" Power Level: 50% Both ladies are starting to pick up the pace with growth. Beautiful lush color and strong stems. Zkittlez Two is still a bit smaller, but they both seems to be growing at the same rate. They will be watered again today with 500 ml up top. Bottom Feed system is working quite well so far. I had to put a humidifier in the tent today for them. It won't be long before it needs to come out. There are 2 more plants coming in next week. So hopefully the humidity will level out by then. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 48.4% (working on it) VPD: 1.45 kPa May 29, 2023 These ladies are really starting to take off. They are well watered and happy as ever. The environment adjusted yesterday with the addition of a humidifier. The temp is a bit low, but perfectly fine. It was a little cold this morning, so the temp was around 72° Zkittlez One is starting to show her structure. She looks like she will be tall with minimal lateral branching if I leave her alone. I plan to LST and Defoliate for this grow, so she should branch out much more and stay at a manageable height. Currently she is 6.5" tall. Zkittlez Two looks great as well, she's starting to be left behind by Zkittlez One. Currently 4.5" tall. With 4 plants in there, each one will have about 1.5 sq/ft. of space to grow out. The tent is 6 ft. tall. The containers and bottom feed system are 15" tall. The grow light is 44" to soil. Max Plant Height at 12: 32" Ideal Plant Height at 18: 26" Acceptable Plant Height at 24: 20" Light Power: 60% DLI: 21 Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.1° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.12 kPa May 30, 2023 The environment in the tent is nearly perfect. Temp is on point and humidity is right there. Both ladies got a reservoir refill with nutes and a very diluted top feed. Just under a half gallon each. The center of the soil still seems a bit too dry. So hopefully this watering will do the trick. The plants are still pretty small and I really don't want to over water them, although, they seem to be loving it. I also lowered the grow light to 27" from the canopy. Happily, I didn't need to change the intensity. The DLI is at a perfect 30 for this age based on a chart I use from photone. I also think I'll be able to control the environment with a lower light. I'm going to do my best to keep the light around 27" and increase the intensity as needed. Zkittlez One is definitely taking off. She grew over an inch last night. Color is wonderful. She's slightly praying and I'm very happy with that. She's also starting to show more branches. However it seems she will be fairly narrow, but most likely tall. 7" as of today. Zkittlez Two is looking great. She did end up with a tiny bit of tip burn from the transplant, but I'm guessing it was just the initial shock of the hot soil. However, she looks fine now and is loving life. Her leaves are praying perfectly. 5" tall as of today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 60% VPD: 1.09
