******** Week 9 - Feb 3 to 9/20 (Days 57 - 63 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs are turning this week. More at the top of the plant but some on the bottom as well. Still has many white hairs and a good thickness as well. This week has been one of those......is today the last feed.....no one more.......is today last feed......no one more.....🤨🧐🤨🧐 😃😃😃 And so it finally came down to Saturday Feb 8, Day 62 as the last day of feed. Plan it to just flush with water and Rezin & Liquid Weight to the end.....or early 70’s anyway. Kind of a boring week in a way because she has been such an awesome girl to grow!! She is dense with a lot of leaves but I am trusting this next week will continue to bring significant swelling. She has been fine with the fluctuations that happen through a grow and has been vigorous all the way through.....great genetics! She is a real beautiful little girl with how she has grown....a couple of the pictures on the stand show just how well she grew and then how much bud is now on those branches. On bigger branches I would clip off another node lower than I did to give a little more energy to fill in the tops. Not sure this girls top colas will fill in as much as one would like but........take your time girl😀 Also.....I think it could be worth a run doing this girl in a 5 gal pot.....if she has no problem going 77 days or so then maybe there is time build a nice mass???? I am concerned at the end of the week that I may be seeing signs of root bound with the leaves clawing down?????? Don’t think its light.....was the same the morning before watering so don’t feel its over watering......could be nitrogen toxicity???? Not going to chase it at this stage but would like to know for next run to correct. Became more visible Feb 6/7/8 idea....appreciate any comments😕 Have not spent anytime looking at Trich colour this week.....too early anyway. What I have noticed is one crazy amount of frost forming on this girl in the last week!!!!! Wednesday had to do a double take on some of the images and zoomed in on a bud.....DAMN!!!!💪👍🙏 Hope she continues to be happy and keeps pushing out them trichs.......DAMN😃😃😃 Changed the light schedule again this week. Moved her to 19.5 hours of light because she is still not falling to sleep at lights out. Will be avoiding use of Flawless Finish for now and I suspect she has two weeks left in her. If something changes and she ripens quicker then may use. Little more detail to come.......... Feb 3/20 - Day 57 - Water feed today. Runoff in tray was 6.1pH.....good - 3L given with Sensyzime @ 1ml/L. 80ppm and 6.15pH going in. Feb 4/20 - Day 58 - Full feed today. Pot still had some weight. - 3L off full feed with 1125ppm and 6.05pH - Runoff water in tray before feed: 900ppm and 6.03pH - Runoff water in tray after feed: 1300ppm and 6.2pH - she had small leafstrip today. - removed most of the LST today. Left two ties. Feb 5/20 - Day 59 - nothing today. - Light cycle changed to 19.5hrs on and 4.5hrs off. - Her hairs are still long an reaching.....good sign for growing longer Feb 6/20 - Day 60 - Verify medium today....close to flush - 3L feed of Sensyzime and Rezin @ 2ml/L and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L. = 100ppm and 5.8pH - Runoff was 680ppm and 6.25pH. - ppm is a little low and pH is creeping up. Feb 7/20 - Day 61 - Nothing today, still heavy. - slow growth happening??? Thickening behind the scenes??? Feb 8/20 - Day 62 - ********Last Feed******** - Full strength feed......base nutes both at 0.5ml/L - 6L feed with 1150ppm and 5.4pH going in. - pH was a little high so lowered for this feed. - Medium got a good soak and good runoff amount - Runoff: 1500ppm with 6.05pH - ppm might be a little high but hopeful she will go two weeks......will be flush a fair bit of water at minimum. Feb 9/20 - Day 63 - Dry out day - the "CLAW" is more prominent today. Mainly on top couple of leaves on the large colas. - raised the light a bit.....will use lower pH water in flush......not much else other than let her dry out at this stage....... Hope we can drag out harvest day until Feb 22 or 23rd.......🤞😁😁😁.....Thanks for the read and hope you have a smooth week!

Grow Questions

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.

Buddha2commented5 years ago
@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😀

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.

PrairieFrostGrowcommented5 years ago
@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!

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
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!
