Z Auto

Resilience: Extremely good. Took transplanting like an absolute champ & survived a day and a half with a heavy black 40-gallon trashbag over her head. No herming or rampant leaf yellowing like the last 2 times. She reacted worse to plain water than any of my weirdo feedings but ultimately seemed very hardy & resistant. // Final Height: 33 inches. // Notes for Next Time: I'd only do a couple things differently in the future: 1.) Extend nitrogen feeding through pre-flowering and/or start it a little earlier during veg to prevent yellowing leaves & the need for more N later in flowering. Felt like I gave N a little bit late, delaying flower bulking & reducing overall aroma/trichomes. But it had to be done to stop the yellowing leaves. I'd assumed the soil that causes "nitrogen burn" (lol) in cannabis plants would supply all her N needs. I was wrong. // 2.) Avoid defoliating (which I didn't do this time anyway) so plant would have enough extra leaves to lose safely if they start yellowing/dying. Trimming a couple scraggly fans as needed is fine for me but not taking a shit-ton at once as a training technique. // 3.) That said, I would train her somehow (LST, etc) to keep height down, as a 33" plant was NOT practical at certain times. Ideally, I'd like to find an LED grow bulb (not a board) and maybe experiment with some nutes. I'd want a bulb that screws into my splitter and/or current fixture, otherwise I wouldn't even fuck with LEDs & would just add 1-2 more CFLs for the sake of convenience & saving $$$. Stick with what ya know. // I'd absolutely use the Miracle Gro soil again before some specialty brand like Black Gold (used for previous 2 grows) or Fox Farms and would transplant her again if not feeding bottle nutes. My rationale for that was: more/new soil = more nutrients after using up everything in the Solo cup. I would use the pH strips liberally again, as I suspect that's where I fucked up with my past grows re: the yellowing (nute lockout). // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HARVEST Cut the top cola down in 3 separate rounds 12 hours apart. There were 3 "pieces" of that, then I left the bottom of the plant to continue growing, which it did until the Friday after next (the 14th, aka 2 weeks later). I wet-trimmed because it's highly humid here and I don't want mold. The rest of the plant was harvested 14 days later & also wet-trimmed. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DRYING Hybrid refrigerator ("Lotus" dry) + regular hanging in closet: I didn't buy a special fridge for this purpose nor was mine spotless, but it was mostly devoid of food & smelled decent. Lots of baking soda in bowls & sprinkled around to reduce moisture & absorb bad smells. The bud box went on a bottom shelf & was kept shut by the shelf directly above it, and when I took it out it was open in my dark closet with 2 fans moving air. // I started by hanging the buds in my closet for the first 12 hours after harvest to give them a jumpstart on drying, then hung them in the box by taping the stems to pipecleaners. I took the box of buds out for 15 mins twice daily at first, then reduced it down to 10 minutes once daily. I did this because there's no real air circulation in the closed fridge. But they were drying EXTREMELY slow so on Day 10 I started an 18/6 schedule: 18 hours in the fridge and 6 out while lights were off for my remaining plant. I wiped the inside & outside of the cardboard box with isopropyl alcohol & peroxide multiple times to help prevent fungal growth/bacteria. So they were mostly fridge-dried (80%) but also closet dried some too. // I'd also use this drying method again because it just makes sense. The fridge gets both darker & colder than I can make my living space. Buds lost all smell almost instantly after going in the fridge but were full of pungent fruity terps when broken up & smoked. And they retained nearly all their original vibrant color! They DEF kept more of the good stuff than my previous closet dried buds. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CURING Buds were cured in sealed glass Mason jars at room temperature & stored in a dark cubby. I opened them to "burp" for 30 minutes 2x a day in Week 1 and am going to reduce that to 1x per day in Week 2, then 20 minutes daily in Week 3 and beyond. // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FINAL (DRY) YIELD: 9.3 grams. So between a "quarter" and a "half."

Growing a good yield in a short time was super easy. I've been harvesting the plant early because I'm interested in the effects.

7.8.24 Chopped both down apart from bottom two branches 62days. Both plants showing amber glands Manicured on 18.8.24 and left in drying room with other plants in jars 12.8.24 chopped the rest of ztrawberriez down 67 days 14.8.24 chopped the rest of Zkittlez down 69 days

She has produced a really big headbud with an incredible sweet smell, can recommend this strain for every beginner and outdoor grower

This is a great strain and a stinky one at that, sadly this wasn't the best pheno and it was full of small bud which didn't really develope into dense buds she was massive with two many buds sites all trying to put on weight . I will grow again at some point as I do know its a decent strain. I finished up with a couple of jars and will probably add the fluffy stuff to a bubble has run at some point

So fucking amazing weed!

Starts energetic than slowly settles down.Lots of flavour but more on the herbal side ,while smoked very mouth watering i only did the dry weight .

Monster of a plant beautiful bud. Another fire strain from Fast Buds 🔥

Всем привет друзья! Вот и подошёл к концу жизенный цикл моей девочки. На 55 дне снял пробу и хочу сказать, что соскучился по этой прухе от Fast Buds Zkittlez. Качесвто на высоте, но веса подкачали. В прошлый гров я снял 150 сухих. Всем добра и мира и хороших добрых урожаев!

Buds look okay. No ambers in the trichs but all milky. Advertised as 84 day seed to harvest. I skipped 2 weeks on the journal simply because I was waiting for trichs to be ready and stamen to turn from white to brown/orange. Well one was probably ready at 84 days. Not the others. This is what killed me about this grow. Four zkittlez strain, same pack, same breeder. Four different phenos, four different flowering times. Also two strated throwing foxtaily buds towards the end of flower. Not great. Not stable genetics IMO, won't be growing again. Had to buy a separate tent just to be able to finish this grow with some dignity.

was a slow grower buds are frosty have not tried yet needs to dry & cure dried for 8 days and weighed out to 5.6 oz but will probably lose a bit during the cure

Took a little longer than expected but really happy with outcome just wait to see what the dry weight is now, working on the 30% rule should yield around 4.5oz dry which if this one little 56cm tall plant does i will be more than happy,.. biobizz nutrients again never used anything diffrenet will always use the same, just going to alter the feed next time to dilute it abit more, simple lst, tie down method and yeah she smells amazing had easily 30% Amber trichomes at the chop and yielded great, can't wait to smoke,.. Fatbuds Banana purple punch next time,.. let's go!!

Got a different Phenotype this time, she smells very Hazey. Easy to grow, unruly when I attempted to train her.

Rauchprobe war Klasse. Der Rest darf allerdings noch mind. 6 Wochen curen.

Strong smell & taste Just like the original feminized but only quicker

She was easy to grow but remained fairly small compared to my other autos. I have found this to be the case with most FB strains. Average buds and trichomes.

So I've just finished up my zkittlez auto and she turned out ok she wasn't as big as I would have thought but overall I'm still happy. I found her to be a finicky girl to grow bcoz she always looked hungry but they say take it easy on the nutes but lessons learnt hey. And right at the end I was getting dew on her in the morning and saw signs of bud rot forming so I took her off the lawn which seemed to work but it was already effecting about 10 leaves so I decided to chop her and be safe than sorry. I lost about 3grms but got about just under an ounce so all good here. The smoke is nice and tropical fruit cake sort of but that underlying gas taste which I don't fancy but still a nice smoke. It gives you a shot of energy and then everything just stops in time and you drift of into lala land..it's more on the indica side of chills. Peace love and lotsa buds.
