Week 2
Day 8 (21/08/2020):
I decided to replant in the evening after lights off so I carefully took out the girls from their tiny pots and put them into their 15L AirPots with BioBizz All Mix soil inside. I also watered all of them with 1.5L of water with Root Juice (4ml/1L) and this will be their last watering if root juice and I will give them plain water at the next as the soils has a lot of nutrients inside. When taking the girls out of their small pots I might have damaged some roots because the soil didn't come out perfectly, but there were loads of roots which is a good sigh and the girls should recover quickly.
Day 9 (22/08/2020):
Today was the first colder day after the heatwave (22 degrees in the day) which has thankfully decreased the temperature in the tent during lights on and the temperature is around 27°C now, which must be much easier on the plants. This means that the humidity can be decreased as well so I am now trying to keep it at around 65%. I think the girl is also doing quite well after changing pots.
Day 10 (23/08/2020):
Today I noticed that there were new baby leaves growing all along the stem already! Definitely doing great after the replant and probably loving the new space and nutrients in the soil. This is the smallest of the girls still but she is the same as the others in the development progression, and she's 6cm tall already.
Day 11 (24/08/2020):
Sweet Zkittlez is growing really strong and the stem is thickening up which is great. She is growing quite a lot every day even though she is a bit behind from the other ones. As long as she doesn't stop growing and is healthy, the size shouldn't be a problem. I checked the soil agaon and only the top layer was dry but the rest of the soil is still quite wet so will wait until tomorrow to see if she needs a watering.
Day 12 (25/08/2020):
Not that many updates today, but I did want to show the difference between all the girls in the tent with a picture of the whole tent. RHC2 (bottom left) is definitely the biggest and has the most fan leaves and tiny leaves along the stem. RHC1 (top left) is close but still a little behind. Do-Sweet-Dos (bottom right) is definitely the most interesting as it has the most curly/rounded leaves and I think it will be the most bushy out of the 4. Sweet Zkittles (top right) is the smallest girl but I don't think that's gonna be a negative factor when they have all grown up. But all of the girls are looking healthy and have strong stems. I also rotate the pots clockwise along the tent every day as it isore windy next to the fan and want to avoid wind burn. I checked the soil and it was still not dry enough to water, which is surpsing because what I kept seeing the most about Air Pots is that they need to be watered much more frequently.
Day 13 (26/08/2020):
Today the soil was finally dry enough to water and we are starting them with nutrients. We watered all the girls with 1.5L of water with 1ml of BioGrow each (2/3 of recommended, will increase later if required). The girl is growing strong and healthy and will be ready for training next week. But still haven't decided which training methods to use though 😅 Also since it's been colder and more rainy lately, the temperature in the tent has been around 25C during lights on and 23C at lights off which is perfect, finally!
Day 14 (27/08/2020):
Today is the last day of week 2 and the girl has made amazing progress throughout the week. I did notice little spots on her leaves but luckily I know exactly what the problem is because I've encountered this in the previous grow. The burn spots are because of accidentally leaving water droplets on leaves after watering and because the light is so strong it creates a lens and burns the leaves. I completely forgot about this so didn't take enough care when watering, will definitely keep this in mind for the future. At the end of the week the girl is 9cm tall.
Wow beautiful monster flowers. Makes me think I let too many smaller branches develop when I see such a concentrated and controlled grow like yours. Enjoy the results!
@Superjd, Thanks! I actually think I should have lollipopped and removed more of the smallest ones at the bottom to let the main buds grow even bigger. But they have just finished drying so will post a Harvest diary soon!
Thanks for sharing a new diary with one of our strains.
We hope you enjoy it :P
Once finished, with the final notes of the strains, you can ask us for more seeds to share another diary.
Sweet smokes!

Great grow so far!! Sweet Zkittlez is definitely a great strain, can’t wait to see your results!
Also, I don’t think that the damage is from gnats or any environmental factor. It appears to be a calmag deficiency on the brown splotchy damaged leaves. Lower leaves shouldn’t be yellowing this early, this typically tends to be a sign of a nitrogen deficiency. Sometimes PK deficiencies can look similar but its a little early for that.
A white widow I was growing showed almost identical signs and as soon as I gave her organic Calmag + more vegetative/grow phase nutrients she stopped showing signs of deficiency. I only grow organic as well so I use Root’s Organic CalMag since it is certified and OMRI listed.
FreshCoastBudz, Hey, thanks, that's really helpful! I had no idea what it was but CalMag deficiency actually makes a lot of sense because yesterday some of the fan leaves on her have been going yellow on the outside but still staying dark green in the centre I really wasn't sure what it was. Thanks for the help! I have some BioBizz CalMag which I got in case this happened so will use it at next watering with some more nitrogen as well and hopefully it helps! 😀
