******** Week 8 - Jan 27 to Feb 2/20 (Days 50 - 56 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs have remained a nice bright white all week pointing up. Noticing some curling a bit of the hairs towards end of the week. They are white but there is a small red hair here and there now. Giving her a couple more days of feed but flush is here very soon. Heavier leaf strip on Wednesday and have continued through out as rotating her in the tent under the light. Took off probably 25 to 30%. Looked at a couple of lower buds and was going to strip them but at this point figured the heck with it and a little more for rosin😃 She is dark in my opinion and hope she will continue to feed and work through all that nitrogen. She was also given a feeding this week with Epsom Salts. A lot of red on some of the other plants so worked Magnesium Sulphate in that way. I think I could have gone harder on the CalMag earlier and/or introduced epsom salt earlier as well. Changed the light schedule this week. Moved her to 19 hours of light because she is not falling to sleep at lights out. I know that I could have the lights closer but given how Skywalker has grown I can’t lower them as much as I would like. Will try compensating with longer daylight period.😉 Worth a try! Will keep up Liquid Weight and Rezin to the end and see how she is as a result. Not used these supplements before. Not sure if I will use AN Flawless Finish this run or not? Little more detail: Jan 27/20 - Day 50 - Feed: 2L - Mass @ 4ml, Terp@ 3ml, Vitathrive&Rezin&LW8@ 2ml, DF@ 1ml = 1150ppm with 6.0pH - pot was light Jan 28/20 - Day 51 - 2L: Rezin @ 2ml, CalMag & LW8 @ 1.5ml = 360ppm. Left a lower pH this feed. - Used heavier CalMag today as purple stems is increasing.....looking at using Epsom Salts. - striped some leaves today...heavier than normal. - tip burn more prominent in spots today. Jan 29/20 - Day 52 - full feed today as listed above. 3L - 1125ppm with 6.2pH - runoff: 1000ppm with 6.1pH - continued leaf strip. Jan 30/20 - Day 53 - 2L feed: Epsom Salt @ 1tsp/G, Rezin & LW8 @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel A and B @ 1ml = 1000ppm 6.15pH - used Epsom Salt today. - They were very happy today in the morning. Swelling up. - They are not falling to sleep at night so moving to 19 hours light. First day. Jan 31/20 - Day 54 - Feed: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml/L - 30ppm 6.15pH - plain water feed today. Sensyzime to clean up the roots. - She keeps chugging along with growth. Looking a better all the time. - Colas forming larger and longer. Feb 1/20 - Day 55 - dry out day. Nothing at all today. - give nice perfect feed tomorrow. Getting close to end of feedings make sure medium is correct. Feb 2/20 - Day 56 - pot nice and dry today. She was happy this morning and given a large feed. - 4L of full strength for the week. - run off 1025ppm and 6.05pH......Hmmmm, I like it:) - Took a few more leaves and inspected her mainly. - See very little red hairs. Still mainly nice straight shinny white.....keep going girl.....no rush! Wonder how far one can push her before harvest. Thinking about entering this girl in a little local cannabis cup....its on 4/20 though. That is roughly 9 weeks away. Can’t get a new run from seed to smoke in that time. Thinking this girl should have the taste to make her the contender from my tent. So, if she can possibly hold out for 3 more weeks (mid 70’s for day count??) then allow 1 more week to dry. That is 4 weeks out of the 9, meaning this girl would likely have a 5 week cure time around April 6th submission???? Too much time........just right amount?????? Will see what the weeks ahead bring. Appreciate any fellow growers comments about her cure time to bring out the flavours. Have heard she can really change????? Don’t really care how she would do in any competition to be honest.......main reason is to meet local like minded people face to face to share this Cannabis and grow culture with. It is great having access to information on-line and meeting new people that way......but there is nothing like sharing some of your harvest with another person right beside you😃😃 The best experiences with cannabis are always when its shared with someone else!!!! Looking forward to bringing this girl to the end and watching her swell......fingers crossed😁 Hope your garden is making your smile fellow growers....cheers!

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.

Looking REALLY good! All plants look so healthy and vibrant/ huge! I really want to order some zkittlez seeds asap! Keep up the perfect work!

@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...

PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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.

@F4m0u5, I have been wanting to get this run going for a few months......crazy how FastBuds plants are consistently so strong💪🙏 Your purple punch project is looking pretty good so far....gorgeous colours in that girl!!! Good luck on it!

Med_in_Tropiccommentedweek 55 years ago
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_Tropiccommented5 years ago
@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
PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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
PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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😀

@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
PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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!

PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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!
