*******Week 5 - January 6 to 12, 2020 She entered flower this week. First 2/3s were transition and she was finicky at this time.....still is at the end of the week.....or at minimum certainly not on an autopilot at this point. No issues of anything but for IPM, Friday she was sprayed with Plant Therapy by Lost Coast. Mixed at 2ml/L. Done at lights out but was a little slow and ended up spraying about 20 minutes after lights out. Things seemed fine and she had great growth over Saturday night. The first part of the week the growth was not as vertical. By the end of the week she had shot up. Finally feel comfortable removing some leaves now and there was a slight defoliation this week. Now should have a good form to her with four tops competing for the “top spot”......no FIM either........LST works👋. Expect to see more vertical growth this week. She was 16” tall and 24” wide by weeks end. Tied her down twice this week. She has 2 main stems competing each other, of 4 or 5, but think I will let the two of them duke it out and I will keep them the same height as each other💪😎💪 This strain is supposed to have some fat buds on the AMS and given this girl will not do the same with LST, I will see how these 2 form compared to the other large branches. I still have a couple more seeds from this pack so learning a bit for the future as well.👊 First half of the week she stayed droopy on the lower 2/3’s. Might have been pushing her a bit....a little wet causing droopy and getting pretty green so she is getting the nutes😳😡😳. Dry out day on Thursday and water only on Friday. Backed off the light more and she has taken off finally over the weekend.👊 She has not liked the light at full power at 18”......lowered power and backed off to 40” for a day and she was better. Lowered down again to 28” with HLG at 50% and holding there for now. Still going to sleep about an hour and half before lights out but getting better. We are getting close to half way👏 Little more detail: Mon - Jan 6/20 - Day 29 - 2L water ph 5.5......finished last week a little high. Bringing pH down a bit. - runoff water from last feed 900ppm, 6.1pH. After feed runoff 610ppm, 5.7pH Tues - Jan 7/20 - Day 30 - dry-out day - looking like a ball :) Wed - Jan 8/20 - Day 31 - since nothing yesterday she was fed at 6:30am today. 900ppm with 6.0pH - 1.5L - run-off: 700ppm, 6.0pH - pots were light late in evening and no time next morning.....watered again late today. - 2L in PM with 975ppm, 5.9pH. - run-off: 650ppm, 6.0pH. - small growth removed from lowest branches. They will be blocked anyway. - she is certainly getting greener. Thurs - Jan 9/20 - Day 32 - sick today.....I did nothing for her :( - dry-out day.....pots were still okay in evening......or good enough Fri - Jan 10/20 - Day 33 - she is standing up more today....main branches starting to take off. - water only today......1L with 6.01pH.....kept light.....giving IPM - Spray with Plant Therapy 12:30pm, 2ml/L (2Tbsp/gal) - Everything is fine but I have fought thrips before and have two cats....spray them💀👻💀 Love pets like crazy but even when not allowed in the grow room I still find their hair here and there in my bud shots😇👹😇 Sticky buds love that😥😪 Sat - Jan 11/20 - Day 34 -she is pretty happy today. 4 main stems competing. - pots were light....she is feeding well. - gave 2L feed but DF went in at 2ml/L by mistake..... 1,000ppm, 6.05pH. - Terpinator upped to 3ml/L from 2ml prior. Sun - Jan 12/20 - Day 35 - Huge growth last night....leaves filling out, standing up, and node spacing growing.💪🙏😍 - Flower sites are tight together.....she will stack nicely😛👌 - focus on some supplementals with flower going. - Added Piranha & Voodoo Juice from Advanced....their schedule is first two weeks of flower, 2ml/L - Full 2L feed. Kept the base low. 725ppm, 5.95pH. - Pulled out and stripped a couple more lower inner growth sites. - measured: 16” tall x 24” wide......after tying down....strong week of growth. Coming week is to focus on more the same.....minor changes to temp or humidity....will start cooling off evenings more and decrease humidity range to 55 - 58%. Only three to four more full weeks feeding left......she goes quick with autos😮😮 Considering trying out a real high potassium adaptive to counter act some of the high nitrogen she looks like she experience, to help keep up bud density.......Terpinator should do the same thing though - increase the amount given closer to manufacture recommendations. *****next run keep closer eye on light intensity.....this girl liked to ease into the increased light.

Grow Questions

PrairieFrostGrowstarted grow question 4 years ago
Need to remove some leaves as it is starting to get a little dark at the lower sites......have seen different amounts removed from previous growers of her. Comments about how she reacts in last couple weeks? Go ahead and strip her fairly hard or keep slow over last days ahead?
Solved
Leaves. Too many

yes,I've just harvested one zkittlez.ccheck out my diary.it loves defoliation.whatever is blocking the light,I remove it.I do it throughout whole grow,except vegetation.It seems to be working better in flowering,especially early flowering just like your.And yes yours need to be defoliated some more by the pictures.I would start with lower fan leaves at bottom to create space for air circulation because you are in a tent,slowly go towards the top as time passes,later in flowering.

@PrairieFrostGrow, Hello again! I also wish i could have 4x4s but stuck with 2 2x4s and a 2x3 instead and a small 2x2 for clones/ seedlings Funny my hlg is also only the v2 3500k. And was aboit 6 months to early also. I really been likeing my mars hydro quantom boards for how much cheaper they are. I even got a china "rspec" quantom board off alibaba for only 140 shipped!( 240w not 260w). Atleast uses a hlg driver and samsung lm301b bulbs

@F4m0u5,Good Day......the little HLG is a V2. R spec came out about 6 months after I bought this. Wanted to try a QB. Spectrum is 3K. Went with mainly flower spectrum as I have a T5 for veg. This was added to my 270w blurple (top bin Cree and Osram diodes) to bring up to 400w. I only have a couple of 3 x 3 tents. Would love a 4 x 4 for how I grow but just not workable in my grow room. Adding the wattage brings me up to 400 which seem good for the 9ft2. Anything I buy now will likely be HLG only, or the Samsung boards anyway. Want to do two boards in my veg tent when the fluorescent bulbs are toast. Would chose 3500 Kelvin in that case I think, or maybe one of each. When some of the girls get big it would be nice to throw into their own tent and finish the flower but not an option right now.......have to accept decreased yield because air movement and side light is decreased. Have an awesome weekend!

@PrairieFrostGrow, Gsc has always been one of my favorites. Along with gorilla glue, and train wreck. Whats the odds i have gorilla cookies going wich is a gorilla glue x cookie wreck ( train wreck x girl scout cookies) haha. It smells so nice im honestly very excited to taste it. Def the fruitiest tastiest smell i have smelt on a live plant. It will be taken down in 2 to 3 days max 0 Just realized your also using a hlg quantum board! Right on these things rock i use the 260w in my flower tent. What spectrum did you get? And is it r spec? And ill be smileing for more then a couple days more like a few weeks per strain! Haha

Congratulations! Looking forward to the numbers. I'm currently two plants of this strain myself. One is looking pathetic, the other one perfect.

@PrairieFrostGrow, thanks for your encouragement 😁! I agree that my sick lady might turn out still better than expected. It is amazing that buds are swelling despite half of the leaves having died. I'm so much more careful with watering the other plants now...

PrairieFrostGrow
@Buddha2, Good Day Buddha! I am thinking she will be good but not going to be amazing.......some other have had some beasts from this strain!!!!! You number 2 is looking very well💪 Should be good harvest there.......buds will start fattening up daily now😵 Enjoy the ride.......love it when you see change everyday!!! Happy growing to you!

I rather have fatter buds than keep leaves looking pristine. I think a little burned tips is okay. And she is going into late bloomer anyway. So - don’t kick yourself. You are doing great.

I have seen other people use higher intensity with closer lamp distance. Like 40 cm. You may want to try put something underneath the pot to raise the pot a couple of inches every few days. Check out @Philindicus ‘s grows.
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@PrairieFrostGrow, so instead of lowering the light, you can raise some plants up. And each plant will get the intensity that it needs. Not perfect but seemed that you still have space left. I am cheap and I’ll try to do things without spending too much money. LOL Happy growing

PrairieFrostGrow
@Med_in_Tropic,Thanks for the tip......I have lowered to roughly 50cm off canopy for now and see how she reacts. Manufacturer says 45cm to 60cm in flower. Downside to different strains in same environment as the Green Poison didn't seem to like the intensity......I may have ended up sacrificing more growth from Zkittlez than I thought.....don't know why I didn't try raising the plant......silly me. Appreciate it and thanks for your time!

Hi, enjoyed reading your diary and great photos. Glad to see you are the patient kind and responded to what the ladies were saying and not what's written on the breeders seed notes about harvest times. Hope its a high quality yield and great smoke for you👍👌
PrairieFrostGrow
PrairieFrostGrow
@kitkat332986, Thanks very much. Patience is not an easy thing for anyone but it is rewarded as they say😃 Trying this girl out at 79 days and if the next girl cooperates the same, I will try her out a week longer and go to 84 days idea........will depend on the pheno though👍 Cheers and hope your buds are big and plump😀

Looks very good. Really frosting up now. I'm not claiming great experience, but I think your estimate of the harvest timing is about right.

@BladeCutter, Thanks for sharing the comment........its always nice to get another opinion😀 especially on a new strain👍 She is at the stage where you see potential.......lots of time and room to swell those buds.....will she.......other diaries show she should💪 Already want to run her again😁😁😁 Hope you have an awesome growing week!!!

I haven’t grown Skittlez before. On some of my Sativa, buds are best after two months. A couple of weeks into curing, the smell was getting nice. But after six weeks, all lemon and berry were really coming out. My key thing is the effect. After two months, The high was better too. After one week curing, I still get head ache. After a couple of months, all was nice with no negatives except for the usual thirst.
PrairieFrostGrow
PrairieFrostGrow
@Med_in_Tropic, Top of the morning to you Sir! Thanks Med. I have been consuming this plant for decades but only growing for just over a year. In the limited curing I have done, I have found the very same thing with about 6 to 10 weeks and the flavours come out more. I have heard the same for this strain.....better with a little age. I have just noticed in my buds they don't have the same "bag appeal" after a couple of months. The crystals really pop for the first few weeks and then gradually brown and look different. Nature of the beast though from what I know. I suspect a perfect target would be about 3 to 4 weeks cure for something like this......oh well, I have it as a date to plan for next year😀 Its not about how they look but rather how they taste and the effect....totally agree👍 Given that there is no time machine in my backyard we will run with what we get!!! 🙏 again!

Hey there! Thanks so much for running a diary of our Zkittlez Auto 🙌🏼 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help! Keep up the good work!! Happy Growing 🌱☘️🍀🌿🌴🌳

PrairieFrostGrow
@Fast_Buds, The thanks go to your breeding team! Beautiful thick branching coming off this girl. Pistols popping now......day 31 roughly at my calculations. Does she tend to like a dry medium, light feedings, or go a head and push her feeding in flower....for a photo period I will push in weeks 3 to 5, what is the equivalent in my days for this auto? Thanks again for your time in house and on the site!
