Naptown/Alien Zkittles

Week 1 went ok, both seeds successfully germinated and sprouted. My Alien Zkittles seems to be off to a great start. The stalk got a little flimsy so I had to prop it up on a stick. Not really sure what’s going on with my Naptown, it really hasn’t grown at all since sprouting. On day 2 it had turned darker green and gotten flimsy but on day 3 it stiffened back up and went back to the normal shade of green but has barely grown in height at all. I used ProMix HP with no nutes and straight RO water so not sure how I could’ve stunted it. I’m gonna give it a few more days and see what it does maybe pull it and pop a fresh seed and start over we’ll see.

08/22/2024 - Pulled my Naptown seedling after 10 days bc it just wasn't growing at all and have a new one germinating. Hopefully this next one takes off with no issues or I'll be doing a single plant grow like my last one. 08/24/2024 - Started Alien Zkittles on Silica Blast, Calmag Plus & pH'd water. 08/26/2024 - Naptown #2 successfully germinated and sprouted. 08/30/2024 - Started LST on Alien Zkittles

Overall this was a good week, lots of new growth on the Alien Zkittles and Naptown #2 seems to be going strong with no problems. Not even at 10 days like #1 and #2 has already doubled it's size & growth. Alien Zkittles seems to be loving the LST growing nice and bushy. I'm gonna take the time off for a couple days and let her stretch towards the light some more. Next watering for Naptown #2 will get her first batch of silica, Calmag & recharge.

A full month in and both plants are doing great. The Alien Zkittles is getting super bushy, trying to keep all the big fan leafs tucked is a pain lol. Naptown #2 is doing great and after a back and forth I just decided to start some LST. They're both indica dominant strains so they won't be getting as tall as my last couple runs of sativa's. 09/16/2024 - Power went out for 8 hiurs

Things have been going great so far! The Alien Zkittles is starting to bud nice. Trying to keep all the fan leafs tucked is a chore. Started her on a top dressing of Girl Flower Power this week to get those buds nice. Naptown #2 has been doing great, has white hairs and should be starting to bud soon. Alien Zkittles - 20" Naptown - 14"

Both plants are now well into flower and stacking up nicely. Gonna introduce some Girl Flower Power to Naptown #2 this week start giving her nutrients for budding.

Both plants are starting to stack up their buds nicely. Alien Zkittles has taken a beating this week. Noticing a nitrogen deficiency and had a broken branch that I had to tape up. Hoping it recovers without a problem and doesn't stress it too much I don't need a herm this late in flower. I'm wondering if I can use my Nature's Living Soil Autoflower blend for a top dressing to give it some more nitrogen. Naptown #2 is coming along nicely too. 10/07/2024 - That nitrogen deficiency is hitting that Alien Zkittles hard I hope I didn't let it go too long. Finally got over to my local grow store and got some blood meal for it hopefully that will bounce back and clear it up a little bit.

Haven't been able to update much on here with starting my new job. Things are going great with both plants, buds are stacking up nicely!! The broken branch on the Alien Zkittles seems to be healing up well.

Nothing much has really changed from last week, buds are continuing to stack and swell up. Seems like these last two grows the Girl Flower Power has made some really big and dense buds. Harvest will be coming up soon for the Alien Zkittles so I gotta get going on my homemade Cannatrol.

Should've waited another day to take my pictures when the one isnt so droopy but ohh well. Between the baby, new job & my downstairs bathroom getting remodeled I missed a watering yesterday which is why after this grow I'm going to be ok investing in some Autopots. Alien Zkittles is looking like it's getting close to the finish line, with Naptown chugging right along behind it.

Both plants still stacking up their buds nicely. Getting closer and closer to harvest time.

Alien Zkittles coming close to the finish line. Really gotta get out the microscope and get a better look at the trichomes. I just did a quick glimpse the other day to make sure they weren't getting too mature. I really need to invest in a trellis net bc these buds are sagging and I have so much plant wire on there holding them up.

Overall not too pleased with this one. Bud structure was kinda all over the place and alot of the lower buds were real airy. Hoping the main colas smoke nice. Might just use the airy stuff to make butter or hash with.

Overall this came out pretty good. Still waiting on it to cure and see how she smokes. Wicked pumped to try this one and will probably go back on the list of stuff to run for a second time.
