Zkittlez Auto - Organic Outdoor

Bit of a sad week. A scorcher of a day crept up on me and all my girls got heat damaged. Fortunately the week before I gave a dose of silicon, which might help with that. Gentle rain for the next few days was a bit of relief while I fed kelp to nurse them, but unfortunately the shock did stop veg in its tracks - and they were all so far ahead of where I expected them to be! With autos, this kind of stress can greatly affect end size and yield, so hoping for a quick recovery and some miracle veg before flowering. The clock is ticking and I only have so long before flowering starts. I've noticed all kinds of mold growing on the alfala mulch. While it could be beneficial (and possibly introduced from the trichoderma), there is a variety of mold types and what is worrying is the black mold. I'm not taking a chance here, so I removed all the mulch and will consider something else for the rest of the grow. Toward the end of the week, the zkittlez started to veg again nicely and picking up progressively, so hoping that bit of stress didn't affect her too much. Come to think of it, all of my other plants which are about a week ahead, took much worse damage at the same time, so perhaps the silicon helped, or perhaps this strain has got some heat tolerance. Overall stoked. Peace, fellows!
