Day 22, all good, most healthy leaves I’ve ever had. The nute schedule is getting dialled in, calmag from the onset has made a big difference as usually my plants would be slowing deficiencies by now. They look like they’re about to go into flower this week.
Day 26, starting to stretch now, still all good. Upped feeding yesterday to 1L each, same nutes but introduced a half dose of bloom just as a preventative measure as they go into flower (will start all bloom nutes from next week). The Zkittlez is pretty bushy with huge fan leaves. Removed 3 so far that were completely covering flower sites and couldn’t be easily tucked.

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Great looking crop! I'm using the same light ... or at least close. A 135W QB from HLG. I noticed you said that you turned your light down near the end of the season. Why are you doing this? Not a technique I've heard of before, but it certainly seems to be working for you! Good luck with the rest of the grow.
@paulsgrows, late in life I run my light as close as 12-inches. When I first received the light I did some testing. HLG has a calculator that lets you convert LUX from cheap/free phone light meter. I also used the measurements from HLG and other sources. Our little board will put out nearly 1,000 PPFD at 12-inches and that is about the max for mature plants.
I don't know if too much light is the cause of large leaves yellowing late in life. I think that is mostly just the lifecycle of the plant. If the plant is no longer putting on new growth, other than buds, I think it will take all the light you can give it without overheating the plant. ✌️🤛
@BladeCutter, Thanks for that, yes same light! I just turned mine down as the plants were getting a lot of yellowing and I couldn't figure it out. So I turned down the light to try and stress them less and get them to the finish line. I always seem to have issues like this and can't tell if the light is too strong for them or if it's something else.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Continue to do what you do and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is complete.
