Let's ignore the fact this whore was the offender who grew big bollocks and seeded up the whole show! It can only be put down to weak genetics from Dr Krippling Seeds!
She grew weakest of the 4 plants from the start showing the slower production and thinner branches leaving me worried.
By the time flowering kicked in and the testicles showed up around 3 week of flower she had grown substantially becoming the tallest plant - probably something to do with the male hormones running riot.
At harvest time she had produced tight, long, sticky, stinky, gorgeous buds smelling like sweet lemon candy.
After the correct drying and curing regime the final smoke is one to relish and remember and definitely makes it into my top 10 strains!
The smell by now is a sweet kind of soapy citrus, lemon chewy candy with a slight baked undertone. Sweet and deep on the inhale staying lemony and dank and then slightly peppery on the exhale holding the sweetness.
Effects are delayed and creep up on you pretty much wiping you out after a fat joint, definitely an evening desert strain and works well to de-stress and/or minor pain relief.
A good strain overall and very pungent, grows easy but will not make another appearance in the boiler cupboard.
The hype from Dr Krippling says you get approx 80g bud per plant which i can't see is possible with this strain due to its short life.
Easy to grow and very nice buds, tasty and provides good a high but ultimately messed up my grow with seeds!
Fast Buds recommend early doses of Cal Mag for the Zkittelz Auto and a heavier feeding regime - how early do we add Cal Mag and what strength nutes do we start at and go up to?
Thank you in advance for any help or advice :)
Hi @Cerebral! Considering you're growing in tiny containers, I would recommend to add Cal+Mag by the end of week 2. A slight dose each week should suffice but pay attention to the early signs and increase Cal+Mag intakes if your plant asks for it. Also, I would add some more soil up to the maximum height of the container, more roots more fruits 👍 Good luck in this journey, keep us updated and happy growing 👊
How much are people typically defoliating per plant and when?
I have taken around a handful of leaves off each plant once at day 30 and again at day 49 and find light penetration is beginning to struggle again - can I defoliate again before harvest without affecting yield?
don't defoliate after 2 weeks of flower as it will affect the yield negatively. my self i wait till just before the bud is about to open as the stretch is almost over and remove any low down bud sites and any leafs that do not get good light. i will also remove any leafs that cover a bud site so that is can get good light. if you look at some of my older grows i have some pics of my defoliated plants to give you an idea.
note that is you are scroging you generally want to remove any leafs or bud sites that don't get above the net ( see week 6 of my mid ayahuasca grow )
Week 9 and found seeds in all plants! No pictures necessary! I can only put it down to some form of stress!
I have found a few seeds in various locations on all plants but so far it doesn't seem that excessive.
What would you do in my situation? Harvest on schedule or ASAP
Hey cerebral. Sorry about the seeds. If you dont have any plants that are not affecred to worry about pollinating then I would continue to grow them to harvest time. Seeded bud isnt the end of the world. Still has potential to be great buds. What I do is inspect the plants closely every day and look for pollen sacs developing. You want to carefully pluck them off trying not to crush them and release pollen and prevent further pollination. Just stay on it daily and get them through until harvest. Hope this info helps. Good luck finishing them up!
@The_Bearded_Grower,
Lol I'm surprised too! They must love the boiler cupboard setup although I think the Density Cal Mag Pro might have some 'special ingredients'

Usually tap water has enough cal mag. If your water source has less than 0.5 EC (250 PPM), then use cal mag or similar. My water has 25 PPM, so I give cal mag from the beginning
Can't believe it! Mould in 3 of 4 plants!!!!! Dirty bud rot!!!
Luckily i noticed it early while it's still white and whispy and removed all traces, around 5g to 7g per plant.
The rainy UK weather is a bitch! I've had more problems with this autoflower grow than my last 3 photo grows in the same space! Wtf?
Thank you greatly for the advice, it was what I hoped to hear, I'll keep a close eye out for pollen sacs daily and run these girls til the end. Much love
Thanks @Stick, the advice is much appreciated, I've transplanted to 3gal fabric pots, my first mistake was failing to plant in final pots :( hope the shock is minimal!
The tap water in my area needed a slight bump of Cal Mag and a trace amount sufficed with a full dose of Rhizotonic that all plants seemed to enjoy, thanks @@Athos.
Leaf surface temp reads 25c while air temp is at 27.7c but only when RH is above 52%. If RH is below 52% then rapid overheating begins rising above 29c so with no humidifier it is proving to be a very hands on grow! Any advice is very welcome!
I'm using digital, mercury and infrared thermometers and air temps are accurate where 28c translates to 25.5 leaf surface temp but only when RH is at 52%+ humidity otherwise leaf temp is over 28c and rising, how do I manage this?
