If you're just joining us, we have these ladies running alongside our photoperiod girls in the 48" x 24" Veg Tent. The Zkittlez is about 2 weeks behind the other 2 girls and looking like she will be the largest of the 3. This week we will substantially lighten up the feeds on the Pineapple and Fat Banana and get them moving towards harvest. The Fat Banana is super frosty and throwing out sone really nice terpenes, but she is the smallest of the bunch. The Pineapple Express buds are rock hard and are starting to get more dense. The Pineapple Express wasn't very frosty early in flower but she is now looking like her resin production is starting to kick into a higher gear. Hopefully she starts really packing on some frost! 📝 Side Note 📝 I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/30 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PINEAPPLE EXPRESS & FAT BANANA AUTO : - Day 28 of Bloom - Day 52 Total ZKITTLEZ AUTO : - Day 9 of Bloom - Day 39 Total °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/1 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PINEAPPLE EXPRESS & FAT BANANA AUTO : - Day 29 of Bloom - Day 53 Total ZKITTLEZ AUTO : - Day 10 of Bloom - Day 40 Total °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🚿 FEED DAY! 🚿 👩‍🔬 NUTRIENT SOLUTION 👩‍🔬 - Zkittlez Auto received nutrient solution geared towards early bloom. ⚠️ WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I FEED THESE LADIES? ⚠️ ✅✅✅ Check out the individual strain diaries for all the details! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/2 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PINEAPPLE EXPRESS & FAT BANANA AUTO : - Day 30 of Bloom - Day 54 Total ZKITTLEZ AUTO : - Day 12 of Bloom - Day 41 Total °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🚿 FEED DAY! 🚿 👩‍🔬 NUTRIENT SOLUTION 👩‍🔬 - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and FAT BANANA each received nutrient solution geared towards late bloom. ⚠️ WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I FEED THESE LADIES? ⚠️ ✅✅✅ Check out the individual strain diaries for all the details! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/6 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PINEAPPLE EXPRESS & FAT BANANA AUTO : - Day 34 of Bloom - Day 58 Total ZKITTLEZ AUTO : - Day 12 of Bloom - Day 45 Total °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🚿 FEED DAY! 🚿 👩‍🔬 NUTRIENT SOLUTION 👩‍🔬 - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, FAT BANANA, and Zkittlez each received a very light EC (1.4) nutrient solution geared towards late bloom.

The pump sprayer is typically used in early veg, between feeds, or for lighter feeds. Most feeds are usually run through the pump and reservoir because it's faster and easier when dealing with larger volume feeds. – 2 GALLON LAWN & GARDEN PUMP PRESURE SPRAYER. * I removed the spray head due to clogs and it's just faster. – Superior Pump 91250 Utility Pump, 1/4 HP in a heavy duty 27 gallon Tote attatched to a 10 foot garden hose to an Orbit Underground 56246 Green Thumb 9-Pattern Telescoping Wand. – Aeration of the reservoir is accomplished using a General Hydroponics HGC728040 Dual Diaphragm Air Pump 320 GPH 4 Outlet attached with standard aquarium air hose to four 4-Inch Air Stone Disc Bubble Diffusers. • VEG/AUTOFLOWER LIGHTING: 320w MosterBoard V4-PLUS powered by a MEANWELL 320H-48AB DRIVER.
