Colorful NuggetZ of Zkittlez FastBuds420

Nov 20, 2019 The plants are doing well. Gave them and the soil in the entire 5 gallon pots a good drenching with a compost tea, kelp, alfalfa, fish hydrysolate, and molasses blend. I'm also realizing I could be watering these girls a bit more. Being a newby I'm over cautious of over watering. But I'm finding the light airy soil mix I made combined with fabric pots.... the soil dries rather quickly. No signs of under watering, but I think I can water them more. This week I'll start watering a couple of cups daily and once a week give the whole pot a good drenching to keep the rest of the soil (where the plants haven't grown into yet) damp.✌️ Nov. 22, 2019 Well I think the girls are starting to give off a little accent. Opened the doors to the room and noticed a slight aroma of dank. Put my nose right up to the plant.... and yup, they starting to smell. Nov. 23, 2019 I started to LST Zkittlez #1 and #3 today. They were a bit taller than #2... Zkittlez 1&2 weren't in the same row. I have other strains along with these mixed together. Front row matured faster than the back. BACK TO ZKITTLEZ. I performed I think what you'd call traditional LST'ing. Bent the stem over to tre side of the pot. #3 took to it pretty well, no visual signs of stress. #1... well, I had to squeeze the stem to soften it so it would bend. The stem is now discolored a little and the growth is really behind compared to the other plants. Also I noticed the leaf edges are turning up a little.... the fingers of the fan leaves are turning up... look like teeth on a saw blade. You may be able to see this in the latest pics. #3 Who's stern I didn't need to squeeze and LST'd the same looks great Nov. 24, 2019 I LST'd #2 the next day, Sunday Nov. 24. I did a different technique with this one. I learned of it on GrassCity forums forums from avn autoflower grower Organic Since. I simply let the fan leaves grow where they naturally want to grow, use wire as a stake to hold the fan leaves down out of the way, then as the new bud sites get exposed I will stake those down to the fan leaves. I really like this way better than what I did to #1 & #3. Less disturbing and intrusive to the plant. And with autoflowers... keeping the stress down is a positive. Stay tuned. As these babies grow it will be interesting to see how the difference in LST'ing these effects the outcome.
