Some how my original week 10 entry got deleted. So here it is again with an update.
Update: I harvested the Zkittlez plants. 10.5 (69 days) weeks from germination. No Amber trichomes, mostly all cloudy.
Wet trimmed then weighed wet...
Yield was 11.5 oz. from 3 plants.
Zkittlez #2 was the smallest at 2.2oz. I over stressed this plant when first performing LST on it. I've learned what not to do to these plants. They are drying in my home made dry box at temps between 60 and 70 degrees and humidity between 52% and 60%.
I will update yield once big stems are removed and curing is complete.
Week 10
Jan. 6 - Jan. 13, 2020
Jan. 7, 2020
Californian Snow #1 & #2 are growing nicely. The main colas are as tall as my forearm and the buds are as thick also.
Californian Snow #3 is filling out nicely also. It's still a bit behind. It leaves are getting quite a bit on TNT light side. I've given a couple extra feedings...top dressed with Neem meal and kelp meal yesterday. Watered with fish hydrysolate during week 9
I think because there's soo much more foliage on this plant, being about 3 weeks behind the others, and my soil is organic water only...I think the nutrients are running out for what this plant needs.
The lower leaves appear to be getting darker so I think the plant is responding well.
Zkittlez plants are looking good. Closer to being ready for harvest. Tricomes are clear to cloudy. So I'm thinking around thr end of week 10.
Nothing has changed. Standard waterings every other day
@raptor65, Thank you... its going pretty well so far. LSTing will begin in about a week. The grow will be keeping me a bit busier then, looking forward to it.
Let your zkittlez go longer if you can, i cut mine at 10 weeks due to necessity but could have easily let her go another couple, however smoke results were still great even though i went early. Good luck looking good
@johnnyblatez,
Thanks for confirming my findings. I feel better about my choice now.
I accidentally deleted my original reply to your comment when I tried to edit week 10 and change it from flower to harvest. Apparently that can't be done. I think I'll add week 11 a call the harvest week and just note i harvested half way into week 10.
@WeedWacker, I hear you, good reasoning ill tell you your speaking facts there, mine were about 20% Amber and this is a evening smoke for me, smoke in the morning and im dreaming all day, a few earlier buds i pulled for a test 1 week prior were very uplifting and got me active so i have to agree. Anyway look forward to seeing your update on taste and effect. Thanks for your reply.
@johnnyblatez,
Thanks for your advice. I thought they could've went a little longer... they had no amber trichomes. I harvested them lay night though... I'm going to update my diary tonight.
I harvested them before amber trichomes because I learned on here from another grower when he harvested his after waiting for a few amber tricomes that I changed thr buzz profile a lot, more toward a mellower couch lock kinda buzz. I didn't want that, so I harvested them last evening.
Lookn gud so far bro congrats. Oh an i hate to tell ya but ur in flower now not veg lol. Jus playn around cauze i seen u put it under the veg tab n not flower an i go dwn an bam see flowers i was like huh lol.

But yea im subbed an dwn to watch ur grow an cant wait to see how urs turns out come harvest. We can see how each turns out gud luck bro an if u got any questions dmt hesitate to ask.
@WeedWacker,
Jus member the hps is more for flower and mh for veg. So u shud be seeing some change but it shud be new growth and bulking up why what are u seeing? And dam bro that tent is awesome id be filling that bitch up specially with 2 hps hoods u got going those suckers shud bulk up some plants for sure.
@FrostyBlaze420,
Thanks for checking out my grow diary. Yeah lol I realized I forgot to switch to flower after I saved... was going to fix it later, but you guilted me into doing it right after I ready your reply. Lol๐. It's all good๐.
Thanks for subbing... I'll check yours out too.
I may check in with some questions... I'm seeing some different responses in the plants from putting then under the 600w HPS's.
I'm going to give a couple more days before I worry and react.
The kids are looking good so far. Watering as needed... seems to be every other day, straight well water.
Foliar spraying with straight water.
Will start watering with an AACT in about another week+.
Will be assembling my 4ร8 tent Monday Nov 11. These 420 FastBuds autos be moved into the tent under 2 600w HPS lights when they start to flower.
I'll be adding photoperiod clones to the veg. bench and rotating them to the tent once they're ready to flower... perpetual grow.
This diary will only be about the autos in the pics.
I may start another diary for the traditional photoperiod clones... not sure what strain they'll be. Check beck and see.
