This strain is not easy to grow, at least it wasn't for me. When everything is perfect, she will grow like crazy. But she demands that everything is perfect. The slightest mistake can severely damage her. But I was surprised by the outcome! I would have expected something like 10 to 20g, but it was more than the double. But the best is the quality! This is the best weed I've grown so far! The buds are tiny, but they are dense and hard as hell. Obviously the plant has put all her energy into producing buds when she realized her leaves are in bad shape. Drying went very fast because of their size and the low RH, so it took only 4 days. Smell and taste are spectacular even without any curing. Very spicy and sweet. The effect is quite strong, both on the head and the body. Great balance and it is long lasting. It is very uplifting and relaxing and I can sleep like a baby in the arms of her mother. I'm curious how this will turn out after curing. This strain could be a 10 if she would be more robust and forgiving. I'm glad I did not start growing with this strain; I certainly would have been frustrated. I hope so much her sister will provide the same quality! Last time I smoked something better must have been back in the eighties in Amsterdam.

I have nothing to compare, but my plants are happy!
Still not convinced this is really needed. I want to switch to epsom salt in my next grow.

What a pleasant surprise! Yield was much bigger than I would have expected given her bad shape. The density of the buds is just insane. The container I'm using for weighing normally is more than full with 40g of buds, but the 43g of this plant would fill it only by about 70%. The buds are hard as rocks and extremely sticky. Smell and taste are celestial. I can only dream how this will improve in the coming months. If you manage to provide her the conditions she demands, she could easily provide much more than 100g. Now this is my goal for her sister. I think it was a very good idea to grow in winter instead of summer. Temperatures and RH were almost in the ideal range throughout the whole grow. Maybe the lower temperatures are the reason for the fantastic aroma. Best I ever smelled so far.

I wouldn't worry about it mate. I had very strange growth on my green crack but it turned out to be killer bud in the end and finished very quickly! 👍🌱

it seems they are feeling well, they developed well in the last week

@Mrs_Larimar, at least Zkittlez does not really feel well. I just added a picture from today which shows that the problem with the brown spots got even worse 😧

Good luck with that grow ! The Fast buds version of the Zkittles was very tasty and compact for me, you'll really enjoy that grow. Ps: I love your 1st picture 😍
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5 years ago
@OutForReal, @Mrs_Larimar : Thank you for the encouragement! When two grandmasters agree, they are probably right 😊 My main focus is on the HiJack anyway, because I wanted to grow a Sativa dominant strain. The Zkittlez is only there in order not to waste space and other resources.

@Buddha2, I would not be pessimistic at all , to me it's just the plant that is "adjusting" to the soil, maybe she's sensitive to the ph. It's looks like a cal issue like you said but at that young age and with a fresh soil I can't imagine that the roots can't suck the appropriate amount. I feel like it can "heal" by itself but keep an eye on it. @Mrs_larimar, what do you think about it ?

Hey, I totally feel your pain with these issues! Have you looked into rust at all? One of mine was doing something similar and was never able to figure it out for my situation. Though I did notice the run off on my problem plant was significantly higher than the rest, have you checked that?? If it is, then a flush might not be a bad idea to clear out the soil if roots have locked out and aren't taking up the nutrients. At least it's an isolated issue and the others are rocking nicely!!
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5 years ago
@CrankledLarkus, thanks a lot for this tip! I agree that it is probably too late for the current run, but I surely will keep this in mind for the future. Big thanks again! 👍

CrankledLarkuscommented5 years ago
@Buddha2, Hygrozyme comes in great to resolve any root issues! I know it's probably a bit late now, but it breaks down any dead organic material which the plant will consume. I had some root rot going on and after using some, they were pearly white when it came time to transplant
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5 years ago
@CrankledLarkus, I think the problem was overwatering. The HiJack also was affected, but only to some lesser extent. I gave the same amount of water as in my last grow, but did not take into account that due to the lower temperatures in winter they need way less. And if roots are damaged or suffocated, they cannot uptake any nutrients, so you can see the symptoms of every deficiency in parallel in full glory. Definitely a lesson learned. I was extra careful in this respect with her sister and so far things are looking fairly good. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your encouraging comment!

Buddha2commented5 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, I do 😄 She is finally slowing down a bit. Only 2cm the last day. So now we are at 105 cm. But it is getting very, very tight now. So far I only had plants where all the branches were of similar height. But this Zkittlez has a very dominant main branch, so topping would have been a good idea in this case maybe. Well, there's still so much to learn for the future...

I think your growth was very similar to mine Zkittlez auto. The buds were really dense and heavy and definitely yielded more than the eye could guess. Got two plants and the second one was quite tricky to grow but I managed to keep out from deficiency by using Cal+Mag+Fe additive at the early stage. Indeed smoke is great but I'm not quite sure I'll grow this strain again. Anyhow. Congrats, on the harvest 😀

@Buddha2, Indeed, they look terrific! 😊We'll be following for sure if you decide to track them here on GD 😻
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5 years ago
@ReinDeer, thanks a lot! I'm amazed by the dark green color of the buds. The others always were quite light. But I will certainly grow this strain again and would like to avoid all those problems. I see it as a challenge and the result tastes so great!

Wow, Big Progress here, all looking healthy and happy. Around Day 20 there is a big change happened... what have you done there=? or didi she decide to grow " anständig"?

Ya pulled some solid looking buds and yield that’s forsure, just about the same maybe even a tad more then on my Zkittlez grow. I had some really weird issues with one of plants and they all seemed different at harvest so I feel where your coming from with how perfect everything has to be with this plant lol Happy growing !
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5 years ago
@SirDillton, I just re-checked your diary and yes, you had very similar problems as me. It's nice to know that it was not entirely my own fault 😊 But nevertheless I need to grow this strain again. It just tastes too good!

@Mrs_Larimar, "little green lady"? 😃 Luckily the stretch is over, she stopped at 112cm. And this is more or less the maximum anyway. I cannot longer have a light directly above her and distance is a mere 10cm now. But I know from my former grow that this is still ok.

Looking good! I’ll definitely be doing this one again. One of the smelliest plants I’ve ever grown. Happy growing!! 💚

@Greeneyedgrower, thanks! Meanwhile she is looking even more spectacular. She has stretched to almost 1m (more than 6cm per day) in the last week. Will update tomorrow, but I'm already deeply impressed.

I have no clue too, what she got. By one Hand i would say genetics, seems to be more sensitive to the conditions. But sometimes its like... they just look like this. You wont win abeauty contest, but i thinks she gives you a harvest, lets watch her.

@Mrs_Larimar, this is exactly the plan. I'm surprised how much she has already recovered, new leaves are looking quite fine. Maybe she will even surprise me in the end. We will see. At least it's not boring 😄

@Fast_Buds, thanks! Can you tell me what might be wrong with the plant (see last picture taken on day 11 after breaking ground)? Can this really be some deficiency so early in the cycle? All three plants in the tent share the same environment and conditions, but only Zkittlez is affected by the problem.

Looks like it's doing well- I'm currently doing a Fastbuds Zkittlez and I have super cropped it. It's taken very well too it and is showing no signs of stress. I wouldnt worry too much, I've also had Autos stunt in the past and turn out too be the best plants at the end. Check out my diaries if you get a chance! Happy growing
