Zkittlez One is 8"
DLI: 31
Zkittlez Two is 5.5"
DLI: 28
Zkittlez One is taking off now and leaving Zkittlez Two behind in the dust.
Zkittlez Two is pondering life I guess and forgot that growing faster is a thing. Lol.
Both look great and have roughly the exact same grow speed. Same shape, same leaves and just all around nearly identical plants.

Both ladies have slowed down a bit in vertical growth, but seems to be building leaves. Not much else to report. Both ladies are extremely happy and comfy in their environment.

Zkittlez One may end up being trained to get more branching. Not that the branching is bad, it's actually doing quite well, but she looks like she may be too slender and maybe end up too tall. We shall see in the coming days. I'm also concerned about the main stem. It's really skinny like a previous grow that didn't end up getting big at all with no branching.
Zkittlez Two is starting to make some major movement. She is starting to branch out and looks happy to be doing so. Great color, beautiful leaves. Wonderful structure. As like her sister, she has a pretty slender main stem. Hopefully it doesn't hurt my grow.

Both ladies are looking great! They could start training whenever now. I'm not sure I want to train them however. They are both really thin and the main stalks is super skinny. I will definitely defoliate though. Maybe I'll train if they get out of control, but I'd rather see how they come out naturally... For the most part. The branching looks nice on both ladies. They are showing their sex already. So maybe a week left before pre-flower. Time is moving nice and fast now. They've also been joined by a couple Watermelon Autos from Royal Queen Seeds with a grow cycle 20 days shorter. They should all be harvested at the same time.
Neither of them grew too much vertically last night, but the branches are starting to grow nicely. They won't be needing water for a while. At least not for a couple more days.

Update: I decided to put a tie down on the top of Zkittlez One. She is tall enough and she has been anchored as well. Just one small bend. I'm leaving Zkittlez Two alone as she is still short and I need vertical growth from her.

Both plants are definitely showing their sex now. I expect pre-flower to start on the next few days. Zkittlez Two is especially showing her sex. Large white hairs along the nodes. Zkittlez One isn't so prominent yet. But she is certainly making up for it in growth. Hopefully Zkittlez Two picks up the pace.
Zkittlez One took perfectly to her one bend. I can't wait to see what I can do with her. Very exciting. She will need a reservoir refill tomorrow think.
Zkittlez Two looks great! Still too short for training, but beautiful structure and lush leaves. The color is perfect. Just a wonderful plant so far.

Not much to do today.
Zkittlez One is taking swimmingly to her training. I lightly adjusted the tie down a little bit for the top again, but I'm going to wait a bit longer to really get to training. She isn't really there for a level canopy.
Zkittlez Two looks pretty good. She is 8.5" tall now with some nice branch growth and leaf production. She looks like a nice little plant. I can't wait to see what kind of stretch she has in her. I hope I have to train her down some if she shoots up.
Water for both ladies is perfect. The top soil has a nice crust on it and the bottom feed system is working like a dream. Technically, I shouldn't have to even think about top feeding now. We will see when we are deep into flower.
Quick update. I decided to get ahead and take off the bottom node off each plant. I'm not messing around with larf this time around. I figure well before pre-flower should be fine. I also think it's better? That way they can heal in time for the stretch.

Zkittlez One looks great and is taking to her training like a dream. She isn't too leafy yet, so I think I managed to start training at the perfect time. This lady is growing at an exceptional pace. She got the top pulled down again and all the lower branches are starting to level out. Water looks fine.
Zkittlez Two has started vigorous growth. She grew about 1.5" overnight. Looking good on water still and may start getting trained as well maybe next week, depending how big she gets. Although, I may just leave her alone and let her grow naturally with defoliation if needed.
Well, that's it for this week. Everything looks great! See you next week.

Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
A leaf here and there won't hurt her. I would defoliate every 3 or 4 days or just do it all in one go after the stretch. It looks healthy so will be able to tolerate a bit of stress.
My humidity is uncontrollably high at 64%. The plants in there are a mix of flowering, pre-flower and veg. Can I safely close the tent door and just let it all do the thing? I have 2 6" fans one is oscillating and a 4" exhaust fan all at full blast. Will that be safe?
Ppl in the likes of the US that are in flo and so on. Their RH is 70 average all yr round. And, they produce some of the most sought after weed ppl pay silly amounts of money for, "cali".
Good practices. Don't getting your buds wet. Great ventilation and so on, and air exchange will promote similar conditions to outdoors. I'll admit when I 1st started growing. My weed was crap. Invested 300e in a 20L meaco A energy rated dehumidifier (mutplie which awards). And I can truly say. All it did was raise my lecky bill by 150e
2 autoflower strains
Week 6-8
Light intensity DLI 51 mol/m²/d and 40 mol/m²/d
No deficiency
No toxicity
No over/under watering
3 fingered leaves?
What should I do?
I have canoeing leaves from either light burn or a nitrogen deficiency. The 240 watt light is close but at 50% and the the deficiency is from taking out veg nutrients. Is it fine? Or should I drop my intensity down even more?
High bro, you give too much nitrogen I can see that from the dark green color from your leaves. I just checked the Advanced nutrients and you need to stop giving the Nirvana nutrient to prevent more damage in the future due Nitrogen toxicity. Next to that you just need to do what you have been doing your plant and diary are looking great!
The fan leaves can snap at the base pretty easily. I'm wondering if this is a problem. For me it's great. Just a little tug down and snap. BUT is that bad? Both plants suffered a bit of nitrogen toxicity. Is that a side effect? They don't fall off on their own. Just easily
Before I will answer your question I would like to give you a well deserved compliment with your training and growing!
No nothing to worry about during this phase of the grow. It is near fall for these lady's and they are getting old. So far I can see you did a great job and I wish you a happy harvest!
Anyone know why this is happening? Look at that little ornament topper. Why is this a thing? Thanks! It's on all the tops of this specific plant. The other one doesn't have this. Thanks!
Wie könnt ihr sagen, dass es kein Fuchsschwanz ist? Schaut euch die komplette Knospe an! Da ist überall der Fuchsschwanz zu sehen. 😎
Das kann, wie schon vorher erwähnt, an zu viel Hitze / Licht liegen aber auch durch zu viel Stress ausgelöst werden oder genetisch bedingt sein.
Happy Gardening 💪
Pre harvest defoliation. Should I put my Zkittlez Two in a 48 hour dark period after I do the pre harvest defoliation? I'll be wet trimming this one, so I figure it's easier to start a little early and then use the 48 hours to recover before harvest. Any suggestions? Yay or nay?
I wouldn't recommend the 48 hours dark period because it's a myth that is supposed to induce higher stress on your plant in order for the plant to provide better yield but when tested they found that the there wasn't any difference in yield but the plants that were give a 48 hour dark period were more susceptible to mould.
Pre harvest defoliation, I support and recommend. It's a good idea to remove some foliage prior to harvesting because it induces stress just make sure to not cut them too early pre harvest.
Good luck with the rest of your grow and enjoy the yield
How the hell do I deal with this humidity? My dry tent is stuck over 70%. I can get it down to 68% for a short time, but it's 89% humidity out today. What do I do? Shut the room lights off and open the tent door for now? Neither the AC or the Dehumidifier are enough. Help!
Place the air conditioner in the room and shut the door if its a mobile unit, close the blinds and shut the windows and other vents.
AC cools the air and removes excess humidity. If you can get that room down to 22-24c the RH should drop down with it.
Running a dehumidifier in the same space as AC will cause the temps to spike as they generate heat thus making the AC unit work harder.
If your AC unit can't keep up it might be low in refrigerant or the radiator coils need cleaning as they can't dissipate the heat.
If the RH outside is 89% you might just be fucked till it lowers a bit or you can manage your environment better/ fix the ac unit. I have a feeling your tent or the room it is in is drafty and that's where all the cool dry air from the AC is escaping from. Keep air flow going in the tent though, turn on exhaust fan on low or a fan blowing into a wall of the tent moving air but not directly pointed at the buds. Stale air is not good.
A fan alone with not lower RH it just moves the air and adds minute amounts of heat from the motors moving parts. If the air its moving is also high in RH it does not just magically disappear. Granted homes with bad air flow can trap heat and RH if they are stuffy and cramped.
Good Luck!
I have been drying this one Zkittlez for 17 days and it seems like it stopped drying. Nothing has changed in days. The bend feels the same. The buds are still really loose and airy. They also don't snap off at all. Any ideas? Or is it obvious? Thanks!
High humidity does not stop the drying it just makes it slower, for me to dry slowly is better and more efficient but I will say watch out for the mold If you see any sign of mold then you can remove the mold and rest rush them and place them in the jar and burp, that need to be last option, I will still say wait for it or you can cut the big branches just hight with the small branches that hold the buds or you can just dry the buds without the branches 💪🍻
Continúan impresionantes amigo.
Respecto a tu duda, hay autos que se alargan hasta la semana 14 o 15, no es muy común, pero puede ocurrir bajo determinados factores
Hazle caso al estado de los tricomas, y cosecha cuando veas los tricomas en su estado ideal para tu gusto
@nonick123,
I was worried it wouldn't fit. It does, but still pretty tight. Thanks for the congrats! I'm super proud of this grow. Now to make it happen over and over again. Lol
Dialed in man. You can see that all of your efforts are paying off and showing in the quality of your growth. nice work. And look at all your nice detailed updates! Congrats on the win
Very nice grow! I like it! Wanna try to have next one like this!
Can you check my grow? Today I flushed with cannaflush , tomorrow wanna give 24 h of light and after this 48 h of night, after that harvest
@Happybanka,
Your grow looks great! Left you a comment as well. More orange pistils (IMO) and check your trichomes if you can. Mostly cloudy and some amber.
Sry about double mes as if they're too long, "block"
So, yeah.. Good ventilation will secure you a good grow really. Don't get hung up with high RH. you'll read, the only way it'll have an ill affect on potency is if your plant has issue with poor nutrient uptake in you sub, your plant will find it hard to uptake nutes and high rh lowers uptake. But nowadays this is usually countered by good enzymes and so on. The days of high RH harming a potential for a great bud results are gone with the advances in knowledge of gentics, good ventilation and so on. Yes, a low RH of 35 for late flowering helps with resin and fade but, as I said. With sugars & enzymes these days. Them issues are old news
@gottagrowsometime,
Thanks for the enormous amount of info! This definitely helps! The dehumidifiers are out of the tent. The AC system wasn't kicking on and causing the room to suffer. Should be kinda fixed now. I'm also going to be a bit more relaxed with humidity. Thanks so much!
