Normally I only feed my plants plain water with a few drops of cal-mag to it, but this time the plant seemed to go super slow. I wasn't exactly sure why until I saw a bit of yellowing on the leaves. Normally I buy Coco that's ready out of the bag. It doesn't say on the pack that the coco is preamended or anything, but it definitely is. Because this time my supplier where out and I bought some bricks instead that I soaked up myself. I even gave the water a little A and B and some cal-mag, but that apparently wasn't enough. Still as soon as I feed some more fertilizer we where back growing regularly 😁

Not much to tell about this little lady. Just like my Mandarin skittlez she has loved getting a bigger pot and an increase in nutrition. Otherwise everything is just growing forward 🍯 Forgot to say i fimmed this girl one time this week 😊 i will be fimming her four times more next week 👌🏻(which I've allready done you will see when i get this journal updated 😅)

Fimmed her some more this week. Recovery was fast and smooth. Also did a little defoliation since she is getting very bushy. She is slowly getting some smell to her otherwise not much to tell😊

She is getting very bushy from all the fimming I've done on her. I repotted her for the last time and I will start flowing soon and see how she stretches. Hopefully she will turn out a beauty of nature 😊

I already love this girl, she's growing like a champ taking on the training with ease. Now that she has started flowering she's starting to show off some smell. Only negative thing i can think to say about her is that she seems a little sensitive to over fertilization, (which isn't that baf at all) 😊 The stretch has begun and so far she doesn't seem to stretch very much, so i probably could have let her go a week or two more, but that's impossible to know for the first grow 😂

Well another week has passed and everything is still going strong. I've defoliated her a bit because she is very bushy. I've also change the light cycle to 13.5/10.5. The stretch on this strain doesn't seem to be that extreme. I'm still very impressed by these strong genetics from RQS. I had never grown any of there stuff before this, but i definitely will again in the future 😁

This girl is coming along perfectly. I've been doing some defoliation on her because she is very bushy. Other than that there is not much i can tell you that the pictures can't. Everything should be on cruise control from now to harvest 😊

Still a very staple plant preforming very well 😊 Not as frosty as my Ethos plant, but it still got some way to go. The smell is unlike any I've smelled before if i should try i would say it's sharp mint/eucalyptus like 😁

She is getting prettier by the week as expected. I might defoliate her again since she is so bushy, but im not sure yet. Not much to report otherwise 🤔

Another week has passed and things are still progressing in the right direction. I've downed a bit on the nutes since they got a little burn to the edge of the leaves. In general it will probably just be less and less nutes from now on till flush 😊

All great. The buds are swelling up very nicely and it is giving out a fine aroma. I'd mainly say it smells like fresh tomato stalks at the moment.

She is still fattening up very nicely, seems like she got atleast a week more of flowering left. Which is a little annoying since my Mandarin Skittlez seems almost ready to flush and i probably have to use my flowering room as drying room since my dry room isn't available at the moment 😔

Final week for this girl. I've started flushing her now. I moved her around a bit the other day and she smells wonderful. Actually now in it's final days it has got a faint banana ripe like smell to, but still a very kushy and dank smell👌🏻 I'm looking very much forward to see how it will turn out when cured 🤔 This banana could definitely have flowered for a week or to more but the zkittlez is done so she's going too.

Week 14. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
8/10

In terms of both flavor and smell this is definitely a hit. It has very fresh sharp banana/pine like smell to. The taste is almost the same as it smells. Doesn't taste much like regular weed at all. The high is in the sedative end. Consumed in bigger amounts it will lock to your couch. The only downside would be the bag appeal. The yeild is definitely on the good side giving off 204g of dried and cured buds : 1:

This strain was very easy to grow. Took on nutes like a champ and grew with great vigour. Overall it had a nice structure and easy to work with. Trimming the buds was for once easy dobe. Gave off a nice yield.

Looks great growmie, your strong light is allowing every single branch to grow, giving yourself lots of options on tops 👌😎

@I_and_I, Thanks, i will give most credit to the genetics. I have actually thought about getting a little stronger veg light since they seem to stretch abit 🤔
