StuG's 42 Fastbuds Zkittlez Autoflowers

@StuG69,thank you, i have made the same mistakes too. i will learn on this grow and the next will be better.

@1stmanny, Hopefully that sorts it then. I must admit I've never tried changing the PH of my water as I'm growing in soil so assume that it buffers it. Out of the tap, or bottle, it's about 6.9 - 7.0 so I just let the water sit for 48 hours then add my feeds and water the girls with it. That said I bought a meter a couple of days ago just out of curiosity so will check it more carefully. As I say, hopefully yours will sort itself out! It's all a learning curve isn't it. At the moment I think I'm under-watering mine but I'm using a soil dampness meter which says that the soil is quite moist about 3" and further down so I'm just being super cautious I guess. My biggest learning experience has been about temps and light placement. I had it too close and kept getting leaf curling on the edges, oh and I had the fans on too high too close too which also didn't help so now the light is 24" above (600mm) and the fans are further away, so for the first time in 2 weeks, I did not see so much leaf curl this morning when I checked them. Oh, that issue and learning LST as I go. 2 plants like it, the 3rd not so much so I think I need to stop now as they are over 3 weeks and most likely about to start flowering. I have pre-flowers at the nodes now. I must update my diary for week as the girls are now 23 days old! Good luck with the PH and all the best!

@StuG69, this is my 1st grow as well, my girls did look good a few days 🤔 i had a feeling that my ph was too high, and I tried, to lower it to 6.3, and now I have a problem🤢, i will water tomorrow and go back to watering them at 6.5-6.8, 🙏hopfully this will fix it !! good luck on your grow, i will be following along.

@@54degreesnorth, Well, I should be in the States for two weeks, but this corona shot put paid to that and my flights got cancelled so as I had time off work anyway we decided to take advantage of the easing of lockdown and book an AirBnB place in the Yorkshire Dales instead. Sun would be great although the weather report for next week is kinda meh. Never mind, have plenty of buds to ease the pain, haha. All the best mate. I'm following your grows now, too. :)

@StuG69, yea I've harvested bits early cus of mold and bug risk, better than getting nothing. Your harvest doesn't look bad. Where you going on holiday too? I'm not planning on any holidays with all this corona shit, would be nice to see some sun though. My plants could do with going on holiday to somewhere sunny too!!! Haha

@@54degreesnorth, I wish I'd had another week with them but time constraints (read last minute holiday booking by the Wife!) forced my hand and harvest this time around. That said, I posted a pic of the trichomes and there were plenty of the good stuff to make me feel a bit better.

@HazeyBobby, Hey, thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment. 😊

@@54degreesnorth, Thanks man! Could have been worse, and I guess it's not too bad for a first time grow. My next grow will be photoperiods. I already have 2 18" tall Bubba Kush vegging nicely in the garden ready for when I get back off hols to put them in the tent. Looking forward to diary no2 now! :D

@RussianGrower, Hey man! Greetings from the South East of the UK! I hope you're well?? Thank you for the kind words. I'll definitely subscribe to your diaries. Thanks again and all the best! Stug69
