Week 2 has been good, wish I could give her more sunlight. Excited to see how bushy she gets because my other 2 autos are already taller than her but she is much wider. Started feeding lightly on day 9 and been alternating every other day with plain water. First grow for me so any and all tips are definitely welcome. Might do some very light lst over the next week but not too sure just yet.
She's going strong so far, been feeding what the bottle recommends and have yet to have any issues. Not gonna top her but did some lst on day 20 and 21 including some leaf tucking but it's too windy right now to make a difference there. Any and all input or thoughts always welcome! Thanks
Tied her down too tight too high on day 26 and the top snapped overnight. Seems like she is making a good recovery. Alternating between feed and water every other day. Really excited to see how resilient this plant is. On to week 5!
Little Zkittlez has really bounced back after my accidental topping last week! Good growth, great light penetration, and is getting much thirstier than in the past. Week 6 will see a full switch to bloom nutes since I kinda dropped the ball on easing into the switch. Looking forward to week 6!
She started trichome production this week and she is getting prettier every dang day! Increased water to a half gallon, she has been drinking it up. Will stop feeding buddha grow this coming week. As always any and all thoughts, advice or input is welcome! Happy growing
Added some bigfoot myco on day 43, still alternating fresh water and feeding. She has stopped vertical growth last week and the buds are definitley putting on a little weight. Very excited for this little gal. Happy growing!
Out of town for this week but got someone to care for the gal. She definitley chunked up while I was away. Fed during this week but started flushing on day 56 as the hairs are turning fairly quickly.
Hi @Oregreenian! You still have a few days to go through, at least 2 weeks. Honestly no one can tell better than you (with the help of a magnifier/microscope)! Pistils can be a clue, if you noticed that new pistils have stopped appearing and old pistils have almost all turned red and curly, but the best way to ensure it's the right time is to look at the trichomes with a magnifier/microscope. Clear/Transparent/Skinny trichomes mean it's too soon, Milky/Cloudy/Fat trichomes mean the harvest window is open, Amber trichomes mean the harvest window is ending, and THC is degrading. Looking at your last pictures, I think you're very close, maybe 14-16 days, but you rather buy a 2$ hand-held microscope to ensure your buds are fully ready. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
Good week for my zkittlez gal, she is gaining some color and is coated in trichomes. Still just fresh water until she is ready to chop. Looking forward to more color as the nights are cooling off. Happy growing!
Just fresh water still until she is ready. Hoping for the weekend but no rush. She still is very healthy and getting some nice purple hues. Looking forward to week 12/harvest!
This was more fun than I imagined! Had mostly good weeks with the exception of week 4 or 5 when I accidently topped her but being the champ she was she bounced right back and gave me some beautiful little colas. Wish I would have bought more seeds of this one! Will give another update after dry and some cure. Thanks for checking out my grow 🙏✌️😤
Update number 1
Got 38 grams dried and got it curing up. Taste pre cure is pretty good. Looking forward to trying it each week thru the curing process. All in all took 1 week to dry ✌️🙏
Try to dry her slowly over a period of 5-7 days or longer if possible. I usually keep the humidity at 55% for the first 2 days then raise it up to 60%. then at about the 3rd-4th day take the smallest buds off and put them "loosely" in to jars with a digital hydrometer your goal is to get them down to 62% humidity. Repeat with the medium sized buds in a few days then the larger ones last. If they are 64-66% you can just take the top off the jar a few hours a few times a day until you reach 62%. If they are 66% or higher take them out of the jars for 4 to 6 hours to let them air out then put them back in the jars you may need to repeat this a few times. Once you reach 62-63 % humidity I add a Boveda 62% humidity pack in the jar. This starts the cure stage. I would briefly open the jars and let some fresh air in a few times a week take note of the smell when you take the lids off. Make sure it doesn't smell like ammonia or musky. It should change from a bit of chlorophyll smell during the first week to a more recognizable smell a week or two later. So I typically dry for 1 week. Then cure for at least 2 weeks then I sample some smoke for potency and smoothness. You will find that after curing for 3-8 weeks the smell and smoothness continues to improve. Good luck hope this helps. Enjoy your harvest.😊
@Oregreenian, Great I hope you enjoy smoking this strain as much as I have. My friends have had nothing but good things to say about Zkittlez when I visit them. I will definately be grow her again in the future.👍
@Philindicus, thank you for all of the information 🙏 much appreciated my friend! I've still got her curing, think I'm on week 3 now but definitely been stealing a sample here and there. Happy growing! 👊

@Stick, thanks so much for the advice! I think I've been getting a little too excited in my wanting them to finish lol I'm gonna grab an easier magnifier to use moving forward. I appreciate the help! Happy growing 👊
Hey there!
