********* Week 7 - January 20 to 26, 2020 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping) She is taking shape more this week by getting taller colas and thinning out between nodes.......oh yeah, and fattening of buds😜😎 It was also not without learning though and thats what is so cool about growing this plant.......you always seem to leave a grow feeling like you could do even better next time and therefore challenging yourself to do better......and have bowl while doing it😂 Her nodes are getting taller and giving herself room for packing on weighty buds👍 If left to one cola should be a fatty!!! But then I would be freaking about potential bud-rot....so I am cool with it. Since LST though it will be interesting to see how well she fills in six😳 She has the makings of being a good producer......its up to the grower to now to keep her happy😬 and see if she packs on the weight with roughly three more full weeks to go?? Missed opportunities in CalMag showing.😰 Left a lot of leaves and two branches that should have removed. Potassium excess contributed to by grower learning Terpinator and Massive.😰 Main stem should have been a little lower......further opportunity to improve👍💪 Got a little crazy with the PPM and felt I knew more than the nutrient company and went above the recommended max by roughly 30%😰😎😭 Yeah.......dummy! My defence.....1300 isn’t too high for Advanced Nutrients in late flower😃😃 Anyway, I screwed up and saw tip burn in week 7. Gave a quick little flush with RO water and Sensyzime to clean up the roots of the salts. Didn’t get crazy though because it was just the top leaves burnt. Been building the medium up to this point so don’t want to wash it all away just yet. She seemed to react well and nodes standing up and didn’t show much outwardly as signs of overwatering😬 Reviewing some of the photos this week I have seen the first small parts of a few hairs drying and turning colour.......no full hairs and not on every bud but enough to say they are first ones.......three more weeks?? Curious.....time will tell.....seen Jan 26, day 49. (49 + 21 = 70.......makes sense.) Feed will stop next week.....by end of my week 8. In the week a head there will be the last push to get her medium in as good a shape as my skills will warrant. I want to get a good 10 + days of flush to see her in the beauty of senescence and how she matures. Run-off has been reasonable so will keep fingers crossed 😄🤞 Little more detail.... Jan 20/20 - Day 43 - Drinking lots right now, close to 4L per day, so 2L plain water only in AM. 6.2pH,. - Feed in PM was light as well. Sensyzime @ 2ml and LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml only. 2L given with 75ppm. 5.9pH - She was given a good feeding yesterday. - Buds sites looking taller. Jan 21/20 - Day 44 - AM - 3L with Dual Fual A&B @ 1.5ml/L. 725ppm and 5.9pH. - PM hit her again - full feeding minus Rhino Skin, Sensyzime and Vitrathrive and VeloKelp. 2.5L 1000ppm and 5.9pH. - Runoff - 950ppm and 5.6pH. - top leaves were droopy so the extra feeding in the evening. Jan 22/20 - Day 45 - Backing off quantity a bit and down to 3L feed in PM. - Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm - Very perky today....standing up all the way down the plant. Liked the feed yesterday. ******this was likely the mistake feed looking back********left the ppm too high and should have added in RO water to bring down around 1000ppm! At least it seems traceable and will go with that😀 Jan 23/20 - Day 46 - Supplemental feeding only today. Happy so don't rock the boat :) - Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH - 2L only today.....still some weight to the pot Jan 24/20 - Day 47 - 2L feed: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH - Nute burn on Green Poison but Zkittlez seems fine and she is fine. Maybe a slight lightening on a few tips.... - happy and praying in the evening. Jan 25/20 - Day 48 - 4L of full strength feeding for this week. - ppm for that was 1275 so watered down to 1100ppm.....only need 1ml of base nutes at full strength to hit roughly 1,000ppm. - Runoff: 900ppm & 6.05pH....happy with that. - she is 28” x 28” now - Her cola growth was strong, taller for each of the 6 She is in fattening mode….feed her 😀 Jan 26/20 - Day 49 - So no surprise when you push a girl you find her limit. Tips burnt this morning.😥😔 - 6L plain RO water pH to 6.2 - Followed right away with 2L RO water with Sensyzime @ 2ml/L. - Runoff: 465ppm. - She responded very well to this and all tips were up still in the evening.....no over watering signs. - Removed about 15 fan leaves and 4 lower bud sites. - guessing only another 1.5 weeks of feeding. - not falling to sleep an hour before lights out anymore either😀 Happy growing fellow enthusiasts and thanks for the time to read🙏🙏 (scrolling back through diary to update........damn.......that is a lot of bottles during these weeks!! There is an upside to organics😄)

PrairieFrostGrowstarted grow question 5 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
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 🌱☘️🍀🌿🌴🌳

@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!
