Week 11
Jan. 13 - 19, 2020
Jan. 17, 2020
I'm a few days late updating week 11.
So here it goes.
I harvested the 3 Zkittlez plants.
I enjoyed growing these. They didn't get as tall as I'd liked but that was my fault, I kept my lights too close during the early stages of the grow. I learned that these auto flowers don't not need to be LST'd. My Zkittlez #1 I over stressed and it yielded out only half of what the other plants did. Of the other two plants...one was LST'd and the other was left to grow more naturally with very little training. They both yielded within 1 tenth of an ounce of each other.
Final dry weight is 2.5 oz. Could've been better, but it's my first time and I learned a lot. Here's a link to my diary for Zkiitlez if you'd like to check out my first grow experience in more detail. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44659-fastbuds-zkittlez-auto-grow-journal-by-weedwacker/week/212148
Looking forward to harvesting my Californian Snow plants which still fattening up and putting on major trichomes. No amber trichomes but wow the plants are frosty and they have a strong pungent smell. When the main cola is bent a little sideways it really begins out the smell. The smell is like a gassy fuel, diesel fuel, strong chemically smell. I love it.
CS #3 is giving me some problems. The pics might show it. The leaf tips are curling up and thr leaf edges are turning brown. Not sure if I can correct this befor harvest. It's late into flower. I may just ride it out until then.
I've topped dress once weekly for the last 4 weeks with kelp, and a blend from roots organic for bloom 4-6-3.
@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.

@WeedWacker,

@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.
