Holmes grows Auto Zkittlez by Seedsman

I'm loving the way this auto grow is going and how the very light defoliation had given it the extra energy to be transferred where it needed to go. On week 4 I said i wasn't going to top it but from what I can see, the big fan leaves seem to get in the way because of how fast they grow compared to the height. I for sure know it's going to be a small bush with wide leaves so I figured topping it was a better direction to this grow. I noticed the bottom fan leaves that initially grew were small and were going to get covered anyways from the new bigger ones so I clipped them a long with the very very first ones from seed which were drooping so much and weren't getting any light or air. I did this in the middle of the week when the feeding reservoir was empty and so I just did a plain watering since then until now so it wouldn't get any further stress from possible nutrient burn because the run off was reading a point above 6.1 pH and a ppm of around 580-600. I will be giving it nutrients this week and a boost of silica so the structure can get stronger from fluctuating temps and humidity now that it's getting warmer these days. There is also a slight sour/citrus smell to the tent now and found out that this strain in particular will stink a lot, hopefully the carbon filter will help out with that. I'm very happy with how things are going and can't wait until it's grown in height a bit more and spread its roots further around the 3 gallon pot so yields can flourish. see ya!
