Welcome to the week 3 update of the FastBuds Zkittles. By popular advice, I decided to top and LST these ladies. LST'd at the end of this week and removed fan leaves. I kinda got carried away with the training but I was in the zone and it felt right doing it. We'll see how they turn out. Plant 1 & 3 have 2 sets of nodes and #2 have 3 sets. They also received a good dose of nutrients and I will adjust as they go into flower. See you next week for the next update! I expect them to recover from the training and get bushy.

What is your opinion on doing a SCROG on autos? Should I do it???

nah i had mediocre results with 90° bends, so it really depends on how extreme you want your scrog to be . I would really avoid SCROG, but LST is like, absolutely necessary for those yields, so i would "do the usual" more than 90* bend and would rather have pickets for plant trainors. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I have a zkittlez going at moment, it has really bushed out when I applied LST to it. After a few weeks it's pretty much took over my whole tent, but it's got a great even canopy now. I would LST if I was u and get them to fill your area.

@hashy, this is good to know. Now I don't feel as bad with that grow 👍

The LSD-25 I have found hard to grow for some reason, must have tried 10 seeds and never manage a decent yield, everything else I try from fastbuds seems good, I just struggle with yield on the LSD-25.

Short_N_stockYcommented6 years ago
@hashy, This will be my 3rd time growing autos. The most recent Blackberry was just LST. My 1st time was LSD-25 topped + LST but had cal-mag deficiency which stunted growth (at least thats what i think happened). I’ve been itching to use my screen again but have to wait until I grow photoperiods again. Damn fastbuds keep sending me seeds. It’s really hard to pass up the offer and not grow them. Hahaha! I might have to go with your suggestion 🤔

Hey there! Good luck with your Zkittlez Auto =) Happy growing and let us know if you need anything💚

Hey there, not sure it's particularly useful for you but you can take a look at my diaries where I sort of fail at 90° bends on LST, and there's plenty more where that came from ! anything over 90° and i think you're golden for LST - hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, 😂 thanks! Might have to stick to the tried and true LST for autos.

@Short_N_stockY, i prefer your plants to my plants and i follow all your diaries lol there you have it SNS !

@CRiSPrGrow, I've tried doing that in the past but not at that extreme of an angle. For some reason I'm not a fan of it.... I like symmetry in my plants structure 😬. I prefer topping and LST

Hi mate I reckon SOG would be better than SCROG see above answer to your question for more details

DILLIGAFcommented6 years ago
@Short_N_stockY, fair enough mate I too would be curious to see how a scogged auto turned out 😎
Short_N_stockY
Short_N_stockYcommented6 years ago
@DILLIGAF, SOG is not an option for this grow as I only have 3 seeds. I know autos and SCROG don't really go hand in hand but I am curious to see how it turns out. Thanks for the input mate!

Your method of LST is pure gold, I'll follow this through

Short_N_stockYcommented5 years ago
@WiddieThePooh, Thanks! I'll be cleaning it up a bit on my nest grow. Need to remove lover growth to prevent the smaller larfy buds that really don't amount to much.

Looks banging brother!! My facking carbon filter dropped and mangled little Z'key and stunted her big time. I just don't want to let her go 😜😜🌴🌴👌👍👊

@OhcanaDAbiz, That's too bad, just make the best out of it. I've had my share of accidents and know how you feel getting rid of any of your babies.

@greenmachine thanks for the response. I am limited on vertical space and have a small tent. I guess I cant go wrong with topping and a little LST 👍

@Wicked_Stix, i was just thinking when i should top them. Thanks for the advice. I guess the sooner the better 👍

Wicked_Stixcommented6 years ago
@Short_N_stockY, They look healthy. I would top them now if they were mine. Mine seem to recover faster the earlier you top them.
