Zkittlez Autoflower by Dr. Seeds (a small Canadian breeder) is a resilient and fast growing plant that is relatively mold resistant and easy to grow. The smell started to become noticeable only a few weeks into veg and got stronger as the plants matured into flower. By harvest time they were pungent, with a bright fruity smell and earthier undertones. The final product smells strongly of grapefruit.

Reviews. Nutrient
House & Garden nutrients worked very well with the high frequency fertigation used for this grow. I didn’t experience any major issues, but did allow the EC in the root zone to climb too high halfway through flower which resulted in some burnt tips and some coppers spots in fan leaves. The nutrient calculator on their website is easy to use, but tended to result in a much higher EC, so I compensated by diluting it more. Considering the wide array of products House & Garden makes it's interesting they don't make a Cal-Mag product. The owner of the local hydro store highly recommended House & Garden, but suggested I supplement with Organical Magic by Future Harvest.
Reviews. Lamp
The Mars TS 1000 was an improvement upon the Mars Hydro Reflektor 96 I was previously using. It ran a touch hotter so I had to add an extra fan to the tent to compensate. It’s not the best light, there are certainly much higher quality “quantum board” style LEDs with better chips, but for the price (less than $200 cad) it was worth it.

Overall the grow went very well. This was my first time growing Autoflowers, first time using high frequency fertigation, and the first time scrogging. I had some issues with EC partway through flower, but it didn't seem to have a huge effect on yield. The final yield tripled that of my previous grow and took half the time. Even before curing the buds smell / taste amazing and pungent and don't have any hay smell. After a week of curing it the smell is more identifiable as grapefruit. It is pungent, sweet and tart. It smokes well already, with just a bit of harshness that should smooth out over the course of the cure. The high is heady but not foggy. It makes for a good daytime smoke when you want to keep moving. I ended up with a lot of trimming to do and more popcorn buds than I would have hoped for. Next grow I'm going to be more aggressive with pruning lower bud sites to focus on the bigger colas.
