Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

Welcome to Tuesday, the beginning of week 16 of growth and week 11 since flip to flower. Zkitzz #1 will be ready in one week it looks like. Zkitzz #2 is taking her sweet time and could be weeks behind. She was also considerably taller than Zkitzz #1, so one person pointed out that she may be expressing some Sativa traits. All pictures this week are at of the start of the week unless otherwise noted. I could harvest Zkitzz #1 now, but I’d ideally prefer to harvest them together and use the tent for drying. I’m going to wait another week. The AC Infinity self feeding pots with wicks are working perfectly. Assuming the plants finish well, I plan to adopt these as my regular growing method as I’ve come to appreciate sub irrigated planters. Much less fertilizer waste than any drain to waste method. No runoff at all. I may still try an occasional GroBucket or Octopot planter, but the AC Infinity is my preference. I will try it using 3 gallon pots of coco next time instead of these 5 gallon pots. As a reminder, I did find it beneficial to flush the fiber pots between veg and flower. Zkitzz is supposed to be a 7-8 week strain, so it’s definitely running behind schedule here at week 11 as I wait for cloudy with a few amber trichomes….especially Zkitzz #2. I’m removing a sample of each plant for drying and “testing”. Zkitzz number one’s harvest window appears “open”, but still in the early phase. Photos of Zkitzz #1 and Zkitzz #2 plus microscope shots above. Thursday update: she’s continuing to take .5-.6 gallons of nutrients per day. Feeding full nutes. Waiting for maturity or at least 20% amber trichomes on Zkitzz #1. I might harvest the tops and allow the lower buds to get more sunlight soon when I harvest….
