Week 19
Day 127 (18/12/2020):
Here we go last week of Flower and the grow :D It is so exciting that we will be harvesting our girls on Christmas day. What a beautiful present 😍. I didn’t have much time to look at them today or take pictures but at least this is the last push and they are almost there 💪
Day 128 (19/12/2020)💧:
Watered the girl today which will be the second to last watering before harvest. She has definitely developed quite nicely and fattened up quite a bit since a week ago. Although I have noticed that more and more tiny stems at the bottom cannot keep their weight and are falling over. However I will not touch any of them to make sure not to disturb the her in the last push of flowering. I want her to fully focus on those buds in the last few days 😄
Day 129 (20/12/2020):
The leaves are getting quite dry and crispy now, even the sugar leaves so I think it is good that harvest is in less than a week. I’m not sure why they are getting so dry because the humidity is 45%, probably to do with the buds sucking out the last nutrients. But either way, I don’t think this should affect the final product.
Day 130 (21/12/2020):
She looks amazing as always 😍 I just cannot get over the smell, it is definitely not as sweet as it was before but it is still very dominant in the tent.
Day 131 (22/12/2020)💧:
Last watering today and all the girls in the tent should be dry enough on the 25th to harvest! I’m actually surprised how close they are in development and all 3 strains can be harvested together. Saves a lot of trouble!
Day 132 (23/12/2020):
Didn’t have time to look at them and take pictures today but just one day left of the last push!
Day 133 (24/12/2020):
Aaaand it has come to an end, the last day of the beauty! She has been really easy to grow and I’ve definitely learned a lot during this growing experience that I can improve on next time. This was definitely the leat resistant girl in the tent, she was very affected by nutrient deficiencies which is why I had to keep increasing the CalMag and nitrogen. She was also often quite wilted before the watering, maybe this specific strain needs a lot more nutrients. However, she has ended up with really nice and dense buds and the most incredible smell! But overall, I’m sure she will have an incredible smoke!
Didn’t managed to get a lot of pictures in this week but I’ll be taking loads of pictures and videos of the end product for the final harvest diary!
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! 😀
