DerEkstaseHase Hi 👋🏽
On the first day of the new year, the little Zkittlez was born.
Germination in coco pots with pH-adjusted water.

DerEkstaseHase The roots don't seem strong enough yet. The plant has leaned a bit to the side after heavy watering. I’ve now supported it with a wire and will water it more carefully for a while!

DerEkstaseHase The switch to 12/12 has happened, now the stretch begins and then the flowering.
For the next two weeks, nothing will be cut, only the highest tops will be brought to the same height.
I am very satisfied with the current state!

DerEkstaseHase Diese Woche gab es ein paar Probleme, sowohl Salzaufbau im Substrat sowie Stress durch zu viel Licht.
Der EC im Drain lag bei 3,0 mS und der Ph bei 7,5, dadurch ist die Kaliumaufnahme blockiert.
Um da dagegen zu steuern habe ich ein Mal 6l Wasser mit CalMag und Ph 5,7 gegossen, um die Salzablagerung abzubauen.
Außerdem habe ich das Licht wieder auf 75% gedimmt.
Salzablagerungen sind zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Blüte relativ häufig, in Coco!

DerEkstaseHase This week is being scaled back.
The plant doesn't need as many nutrients as in the previous weeks anymore!
Remaining salt deposits are now being dissolved, which leads to a drift in pH, so I'm lowering my water to pH 5.6.
Also, this week I received my prize for 5th place in the "Diary of the Month December" - another 1000 thanks to FastBuds for stepping in as a sponsor and the quick processing!

DerEkstaseHase This week I removed a few yellow leaves.
The plant continues to grow very beautifully, the flowers have really plumped up.
At this point, all the trichomes are still clear, which fits very well with the planned schedule.
In the next two weeks, the flowers can ripen and develop their full THC potential.
Because my tap water is very hard, I mix it 50/50 with distilled water to prevent another lockout.
Just two more weeks, then the plant should be ready for harvest! :)

DerEkstaseHase 3 Headies started to mold, so I removed them right away.
Too bad, but there are still plenty left.
Now let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the plant can last a few more days.
I set up the dehumidifier!

Happy Harvest Day!
10/10

The Zkittlez made it too, and luckily no more mold!!
I cut it down and hung it upside down. After 7 days it was dry, and I trimmed it and packed it into Grove Bags. I'm using these for the 2nd time. The buds turned out really compact and heavy.
A month has passed, and when I opened the bag, a strong lemony, tropical smell hit me right away. Super to smoke, not too moist or too dry, and the flavor is really something!
It's not 100% the Zkittlez I know, but it's pretty close. Maybe something will change in the next few weeks.
The thickest buds definitely need a few more days to weeks.

DerEkstaseHase For this run, I tried to keep everything as simple as possible: 3 nutrients, a pH regulator, and a small booster that I only used twice.
Still, it was a rollercoaster of emotions 😅
Already in the veg phase, the lamp fell on the plant. Luckily, I managed to catch it in time, so no major damage was done. After that, the plant developed really strong, and I thought: "This is going to be even better than the last run."
Until the first lockout symptoms appeared...
So, I flushed the Zkittlez and then lightly fed it until it recovered.
But the real boss was already lurking deep in the buds... Botrytis 💀
Three big buds had to be removed - just to be safe, right down to the next bud site.
At that point, I honestly didn't know: harvest immediately or wait the two weeks until full ripeness?
Luckily, waiting was the right decision.
With the dehumidifier by my side, nothing could go wrong. 😎
Update in a few days!

Cheer up made we learn from our mistakes. Had the same problem with my Amnesia haze grow had mold in 3 buds, i was way to distracted and screwed up with the temperature and humidity sensor, i placed it way to low about 40 cm under the top. Next grow we will do better.

It always sucks when things like this happen, especially near the finish line after putting so much time and effort into it.
Looking through your journal, up until week 13 everything looked really healthy. The problems only start showing later, and to me it looks more like overfeeding signs than anything else — burnt tips, stressed leaves, that kind of thing.
A lot of times it’s not because you’re feeding more than the schedule says, but because VPD (temp + humidity) isn’t dialed in or stable enough through the full 24h cycle. When the environment isn’t right, plants don’t eat properly and nutrients start building up in the medium.
Best solution is fixing the environment and keeping VPD stable. If that’s not possible, lowering nutrients a lot (even down to 1/3 or 1/4 strength) can help, because under those conditions the plant won’t use more food anyway.
Botrytis usually comes from high humidity, especially during lights off. But in your diary humidity actually looked pretty low, so my guess is the leaves inside the buds may have started deteriorating (caused by "fake-overfeeding"). When those inner leaves get soft and hold moisture, humidity gets trapped inside dense flowers... and botrytis loves that.
Just my opinion based on your grow journal.

Hey Spy-Nello, I hadn't thought about the connection between nutrient uptake and VPD before, thanks for the tip!
