Zkittlez Auto

Welcome to my grow season number two. For this grow I have chosen to grow zkittlez Auto from Fastbuds. I placed 8 beans directly into soil on 1/13/2019 and 7 out of 8 germinated and broke through the surface within 72 hours. If all the information on the Fastbuds site is accurate about this strain, it should be a relatively quick grow with a decent harvest. Please follow along and feel free to comment or ask questions. I learned a lot from my first grow and from the help of the community. @Smowkabowl @Mrs_Larimar @Bulbi @HighTV @Stick @Fingers @Frosty_farmer @Autoking

So, we're on week 2. There was some growth after an explosive start. Plant one and two are having some problems. We'll see if they make it. Plant eight finally broke through but has shown very little growth. I'll be keeping my eye on this one also as she may not make it to the end either. I am experimenting with my nutrients and have given nutrients to plants #3 and #5.

Well, I didn't turn on the exhaust fan quick enough and was unable to monitor the heat situation while my LEDs we're on because of a hectic work schedule. The result was a lot of dry and crumbling leaves. I defoliated the worst of the leaves and we'll see what we come up with. These girls are very thirsty. I also cut the nutrients on all plants to let them recover a bit. Hopefully they are a strain that can take some stress.

So far these girls are coming back nicely. The new growth shows no signs of heat stress and burning as the exhaust fans are on all day. These babies are progressing quickly. Way different grow than my last bunch. These plants started to flower at the beginning of week 4! Fast Buds, no kidding!

The space between nodes on these are very generous. Hopefully they fill in with some nice flower. The tallest of the bunch is measuring in at 10" with the others not far behind at 6"-7". Going through a half gallon of water per day between 6 plants. Getting ready to bump up the water a bit as they are now really dry when I go to water them the next day. All plants are flowering and look relatively good. You will still see some dry leaves as those were on the plants before I straightened out the whole heat situation.

Week 6. Bud sites are filling in. Beginning to get frosty also. Starting to smell nice too. Can't wait to harvest and try this one out.

The majority of the plants are one big bud from top to bottom. Two of the plants have branched out a little with dense buds at the ends. These plants have a very strong smell when I open the tent to water them. You really do need a filter if you're going to grow these and don't want anyone to smell them. I'm not going to get a massive harvest off each plant as advertised but I imagine that is if the plant is grown in a bigger pot. They seem to have adapted to the one gallon plant by concentrating all it's energy on the main cola. Next time I'm going to use a 3 or 5 gallon and see what they are capable of packing on.

These girls have thick dense buds full of frosty trichomes. Trichomes are still clear as glass. I imagine they should start to cloud up in a week or so. These plants give off an amazing smell.

The trichomes started to cloud up a little on all the plants. The majority of the trichomes are still clear. Fan leaves are yellowing quite a bit. Each one of these plants is a little different. Four of them are straight up thick nine inch colas growing straight up from the soil. The other two look more like a traditional plant. Lots of dense bud but not solid top to bottom. We're getting close. Stay tuned!

The trichomes started to cloud up a little more on all the plants. There are still a large majority of clear trichomes though. Fan leaves are yellowing quite a bit. A few fan leaves have fallen off. Each one of these plants is a little different. Four of them are straight up thick nine inch colas growing straight up from the soil. These colas are 2 - 3 inches thick and dense AF. The other two look more like a traditional plant but still have lots of dense bud. Just not solid top to bottom like the others. I give it another solid week to two weeks before harvest. I will be checking the trichomes daily. Don't want to let these plants go too long. They have been flowering since week 4.

Got a great harvest out of one gallon containers. I can't wait to throw these girls into larger containers next time. I would recommend this strain as it is easy to grow with a great yield. Use a filter though they are quite strong smelling.
