ILGM

A bit late to this report due to traveling, but that means I get to give a smoke report! Zkittlez Auto is delicious with a sweet citrus, earthy pine, and a bit of that skunk we all know and love. I have enjoyed her recently at around 10:00 AM before a long day working on my house, doing simple chores or a bit of creative thinking. She is great paired with some CBD as well, heading out for a walk around the lake. All dried up, I got 74 g, which is perfect for a 3 gallon autoflower and for personal use. She was very resillient as I honed in my new growing strategy with Mammoth P, Ventana Plant Science, and for my second full grow in Coco Coir. I can't wait to circle back after a few grows and try her again. Thanks for tuning in, and I've got another round coming up soon. My next batch in my 2 x 4 will be Swiss Dream Rosé Auto from Kannabia!

107 Grams Dried, and honestly, she was my surprise for my 4 x 4 run this round. Throughout the run, she showed signs of being the troublemaker. Her shaping was off, and her flowers were certainly less dense when compared to Gelato 41 BX and Dos-Si-Dos Auto. Yet, she was able to produce from the ground up. I think her key was that I was able to open her structure up and get great light exposure throughout the entire plant, something I like to do given I have that Growers Choice ROI-FF 650 W light, I always look for max light penetration. She dried up perfectly, though I did have to trim her down to stems due to her size, and produced a pretty massive vial of kief from using my Common Culture dry sift tray, which I always recommend folks incorporate as a part of their trimming process. I bagged her up in my Sweet Decades bags, and she had lemon-pine tones and honestly reminds me a bit of classic Jack Herer, which is what my collection is precisely missing. Gelato Auto from ILGM is a great grow, and I learned a lot from this one. As I move away from mixed genetic runs for a bit, I'd love to do 3 to 4 of these at once! Thanks for following folks! Coming up next: 4 x 4 Clementine Slush from Kannabia 2 x 4 Swiss Dream Rosé CBD x 2 from Kannabia and Pink Kush 30:1 Auto CBD from Seedsman.

Zkittlez #2 finished incredibly strong once she recovered one a single PH spike in the middle of the grow. She coasted easily throughout her flowering weeks producing lemony-pine terpene profile fragrance with a classic deep hash smell when trimming. She yielded exactly what I had hoped for, 3 oz (85 g) for a 3.9 gallon autopot in a 2 x 4 tent, and was a very easily and tolerant plant to experiment with as I continued to hone my autopot experience. I whole plant dried her over 10 days in 65 degrees at 60% humidity and she is curing in a sweet decades bag. I got a nice vial of dry sift kief that I will cure for three months as well, and I might try to do some hash balls from this batch, as I am drowning in the kief a bit now. I use the Common Culture Tray when trimming to catch everything, and when I am done, I run my hands through the trim to sift out and break the trichomes through the screen. It's absolutely wonderful! Zkittlez Auto from ILGM was a great experience this round, definite recommend!

This gal could not have been more different that my 7 oz beast of Critical Mass CBD Auto by ILGM I grew before last run. She started strong and gave a great burst during stretch, but her flower cycle was drove way different and produced a completely different phenotype that resulted in flower that over-ripened in some places, produced a severe lack of trichomes (when compared to my previous Critical Mass Auto), and even may have been the culprit that tossed out some pollen and seeded my tent a bit. I didn't find any nanners or nuts during trimmings, but it could have been hidden. It wasn't a catastrophic seeding event by any means, and I should be able to pick through my flower and actually get some interesting crosses to play with in the future, especially if she was the pollinator (CBD crosses, woo!). Plus, with a possible seed ban coming... the more seeds the better. Always positive, ha! But I am a bit disappointed with the end product. However, I have learned a lot on this run. I will focus on 1 to 2 genetics per tent per run moving forward. Mixed runs have just been too difficult to product those really stellar, consistent runs. She still has a slight tea/lemon bubblegum smell, and produced 56 oz of decent flower and around 1/2 a medical vial of kief... so not bad. but for 6.6 gallon pot, I expected much more compared to that 7 oz run! Kannabia Swiss Dream Rosé Auto in my 2 x 4 will be my next CBD run, and I'll be rocking 3 of those as I don't want to do any more mixed genetic runs. I can't wait to get back to it!

I was using Jiffy Cups to start the girls out. Put that only restricted the roots. After I pulled the cup out I saw that very clearly. #neveragain
