Week 15
Day 99 (20/11/2020):
Unfortunately did not have time today to take pictures or check them because have been quite busy.
Day 100 (21/11/2020):
Woow day 100 today, which seems a bit crazy but I think the girls just need another month and they will be ready for harvest. It has been a great grow so far and although 100 days seems like a lot, the girls have definitely come really far.
Day 101 (22/11/2020)💧:
Measured the pH of the girl today before watering and it was at 5.78 which means it needs to be increased slightly. I wonder why it keeps dropping because apparently the BioBizz soil is supposed to maintain the pH pretty well but I guess she is quite big and must be taking in more nutrients. I also keep noticing that there still seems to be quite a prevalent Calcuim deficiency even with the CalMag and since the pH is not that low I will also be increasing the CalMag for this week to see if the spots on the leaves improve. So I watered with the usual 1.5ml of BioGrow, 4.5ml of BioBloom, 1.5ml of TopMax, and now 4ml of CalMag. And on top of that I gave 0.75ml of pH+ to increase the pH by 0.5 points. The buds are definitely fattening up more and the trichomes are looking much more dense as well. I also can’t get over the smell, it is so sweet and citrusy!
Day 102 (23/11/2020):
Not that many updates today actually, just happily growing 🌱
Day 103 (24/11/2020):
Every time I come to check the girls I just cannot get enough of Sweet Zkittlez’s smell. It definitely lives up to the “Sweet” in the name. It is so incredible and super sticky as well! I absolutely cannot wait to see how this one tastes, I really think it will be super unique.
Day 104 (25/11/2020)💧:
Today I watered the girl with 1.5ml of BioGrow, 4.5ml of BioBloom, 1.5 of Topmax, and 4ml of CalMag. I really don’t think I can do much about the yellowing leaves at this point. I think it is just getting closer and closer to harvest and is withdrawing all the nitrogen from the leaves. I won’t correct for it now and just let it do its thing, I think I am feeding it enough nutrients 😅
Day 105 (26/11/2020):
Managed to take some lovely pictures and a video of a close up of those beautiful snowy trichomes. This girl will definitely be a hard hitter – all the trichomes are so densely packed. Amazing progress from last week and the flowers are definitely fattening up.
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! 😀
