Bluzzi (Zkittlez x ZiZi) x Blucci Cut

thesocialclub Its time to start a new chapter

thesocialclub I’ve been dealing with some very hot weeks again, with temperatures reaching up to 37°C. With everything going on, all of my equipment incl. AC was running at maximum capacity and still couldn’t keep up. I discovered a few thrips, so I’ve been using predatory mites since 1 Week. I’m also gradually switching to Athena’s IPM program, including Stack, CaL03, CaS04, and CaS03 from SlowNickel. At the moment, I can’t detect any pests anymore. I’ve increased the nutrient concentration to 3 EC and set the humidity to 65% and the temperature to 25°C.

thesocialclub The temperatures here have dropped quite a bit again. At the moment, all parameters are within range, and the plants have made some really good progress as well. I’ve also got the under-canopy lighting up and running now, and the plants have already adjusted well to it. I alternate my foliar sprays: one night I spray CO3 and SO4 from Slownickel (0.5 g per liter), and the next night I use Athena IPM and Stack. Unfortunately, one of the six is lagging behind a little (middle left), so this week I’m going to test the substrate values again, including the runoff, and get everything balanced out. I’ll probably do the topping this week as well.

thesocialclub The week went well. The pots are finally fully rooted through, and I can water normally now. Temperatures and humidity are good so far. I’ve topped them now, and next week I’m going to induce flowering.

thesocialclub A lot happened this week. I removed quite a few leaves and also set the CO₂ level to 1,000 ppm. At the end of the week, I put up the first trellis net and have now switched over to the flowering stage.

thesocialclub All in all, the week went well with the switch to Bloom. The levels were all within a good range. Next week or so, I’ll do the next round of defoliation.

thesocialclub The second week of flowering went well too.

thesocialclub Unfortunately, I wasn’t home during week 8, but the system ran normally without any issues. By week 9, everything is looking pretty overgrown already. I’ll have to do the defoliation next week at the latest. The EC when watering is currently at 3, and the pH is at 6. Overall, very good growth.

thesocialclub The fourth week of flowering went well. The buds are really starting to smell strong and get sticky now. They’re not the biggest buds, but that’s kind of what you’d expect with Zkittlez in the genetics. I bumped the EC back up to 3.5, and the defoliation is done as well.

thesocialclub Very good terpene profile and bud structure. EC is at 3.5, and pH is at 6.1. One plant received slightly less water due to a broken dripper. VPD is at 1.1 kPa.
