Day 15- Slow to take off because it’s cold . Poor sprouts are asking for warmer weather. Should be soon and I bet she takes off like one of jacks beans from the bean stock 😜

Day 13 of Flower and she has grown into a beautiful little bush. I took off about 2 handfuls of fan leaves. Just water today, she is only liking a feed/water every 4-5 days. I will clean up the lowers next week. Thanks for following along! Super stoked I have a clone of both this and the BLUE Gelato. Which I think looks a bit more sativa leaning than the Zkittles.

DAY 18 Flower- She is getting big on me and loving the smells coming from the tent. Going to be a few days before any Trichome development. She stretched quite bit, but just enough to keep her around if the flowers are on point. Usually I clean up the lowers much more but this time going to use them for hash.

Day 33 of flower feeding every 5 days or so. Really have some smells coming through. The flowers are getting bigger and more greasy each time she feeds. Going to ramp up the ppms at the end of week 8 of flower and then a quick cut off. Flushing last 2 weeks.

Day 41 of Flower- slow flowering period for this girl. Hoping she swells up soon. Should have cleaned up the lowers a bit more. Also she is very hungry for nitrogen still but going to keep giving her some calmag until I flush which should be start of week 18 since she is a bit slower to finish. Smelling very creamy right now but hoping for some stronger terps later in flower

Day 47 of Flower - super stoked on the smell coming off her buds. Straight up smells like fruit candy empty box mixed with baby powder. The swelling has begun, as a result she has started to drink more than a gallon every 3 days.

Day 51 of flower. I will do Much better next run and will anticipate her stretch. The burn leaves really look bad but she is doing well with the nutrients schedule. I am hoping for two more weeks of feed and then 1 to 2 weeks of flushing. Smells of strange candy coming from her and when I give her finger hugs it is definitely the most greasy girl I have touched in a while😉

Day 56 of flower - Water only for the next week or so. Just now seeing some amber trichomes, probably about 2% so far. All trichomes seem to be milky and very few clear. She has a little tip bleaching from the light. I can’t raise it anymore so the 1/4 inch of her top bud will have to suffer. Smelling like citrus candy 🍭 super excited! The frost factor is getting there. I would say 8/10 hopefully by the time she is ripe we will have 10s across the board for bag appeal, smell and density.

Day 63 of Flower - Well, I burned her alright. Not much I can do to keep the light from bleaching the tip of main cola unfortunately. She is getting much more dense and frosty later in flower. Thinking she will probably go close to 72 days. Only about 2-5% amber trichomes. The purple really coming through the leaves 🍁. Loving the smells of citrus candy like a sour gummy worms 🐛

Day 69 of Flower, still only about 5-8% amber trichomes. Watering every 3-4 days now. She’s gotten to tall and now has an inch of bleached foxtail on the main cola. Every other bud site seems to be doing awesome and loving the conditions. Smells of fruity candy already and some serious frost is coating the main bud sites. Hoping it cascades down to the lowers. Should be a week or so left!

Tips and tricks to help with her Huge stretch faze! Keep her under veg lighting either blue led or HID for the first 1-2 weeks of flower. Then switch to your flowering light set up. Also she drinks sooo much, Cal mag heavy feeding and give her extra nitrogen before the flipping to flower.

So if you keep her stretch down and keep feeding heavily, then she produces very efficiently. Packing on the trichomes in the later part of flower and really taking her time with a 10-11 week flowering period of you make her mad. I will keep her in my garden for some time because she smoke heavy like a true indica. Harvested when she was about 15-20% amber trichomes. Very dense nugs with some purples on tops.

Bigfacecommentedweek 116 years ago
Hey there CaliGrown, they look super frosty, beautiful! Can I suggest that you refer back to the photos of week 11 flower, the fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant begins to lighten up, limey green/yellow..? I would consider that you continue 'grow' nutrients just another week longer next time round? Seems there was a slight nitrogen deficiency due to the fact they used loads of N up,during that crucial stretch period.. I believe you may of cut out its N supply just a week early? From my experiences, I've found I get better results if I delay the transition to flower nutrients, usually until the start of 3rd week flower, as the stretch begins to slow and come to and end. Helps to keep those leaves greener and prevent early bloom autumnal fading. This is just my advice, by no means gospel, but if you did wonder why the leaves changed colour at this stage, it's some food for thought. All the best finishing up, I took my G Zkittlez to Day 67 of 12/12 if that's any help, your in for an absolute treat 😄 Regards Bigface
Bigface
Bigfacecommented6 years ago
@CaliGrown, maybe consider topping the main colas once more, but be sure to give at least a week after final topping/fimming before you flip the lights to 12/12. Or consider using a scrog net to keep them lower and wider?
CaliGrown
CaliGrowncommented6 years ago
@Bigface,That’s some solid advice, thank you. I will take all the help I can get. Especially with this strain. I will definitely try that next round. I do try to cut out the N early bc my tent is 5’7” tall and it seems to cut down on the stretch faze.
