~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

This fine looking lady has been growing for 80 days since she broke ground and has turned out simply AMAZING! 🤩❤️ I'm flushing every day now with well water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 71℉ until I have good runoff and that's exactly what I did today in addition to giving her pot a 1/4 turn. 1/26- Today I flushed the Zkittlez Auto for the last time and I'm going to put her in the dark for 72 hours today after checking her trichomes one last time. 1/30- Yesterday the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto was released from 'Dark Jail' and looked absolutely amazing, covered in frost and sporting some gorgeous coloration on her flowers! After snapping some pic's I chopped and hung her to begin the drying/curing process. She's hanging in total darkness with a fan, de-humidifier and humidifier to keep the air circulating gently and the RH at 60% (I usually run the RH down to 50% for the first 24hrs, then up it to 60% for the remainder of the hanging time). The air temperature in my drying room stays a constant 53-60℉ which I find ideal for getting the drying time to the 12-14 days I like it to be to ensure a nice S L O W drying which, I've found, ensures a super delicious product after it's finished curing for 3-4 months in jars! This has been such a fun grow to participate in, and as always, I learned a few things I didn't know previously as I've always grown in much larger containers which made this grow that much more interesting to me! I hope you enjoyed following along half as much as I did growing this little gem from Seedsman Genetics, I truly appreciate all the love and positive comments that I've received throughout this run.... THANK YOU!❤️❤️❤️ See you at the Harvest! 😎🤙 ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! 💚What you grow - Grow what you💚

MAY 17th I'll water the 10th planet again tomorrow. Things are going amazing! I topped one of the blueberry cheeses and fimmed another. I'm not seeing any stress. If they seem good I'll hst some of the others. This doing ONE thing at a time helps figure out problems. It's 75 right now but it was 39 this morning. UPDATE: IT STARTED FUCKING SNOWING TODAY. Forecast looks good and others are putting plants out. I'll hold off. They'll go to the garage soon for hardening off. Looking at other diaries I had much bigger "clones" but they always come full of problems (see last year). These plants are the healthiest ivecever grown. I'd rather have a healthy plant half the size than a clone with a bunch of issues. Tomorrow I'm planning to wash my stakes and grow bags. I'll get the palletts in position and move my cage. I also am considering either putting a small pvc cover on my cage or finding a way to attack something to the trellis system for heavy rains. If anybody has ideas I'm all ears. 5/18 DIDN'T WATER TODAY. Soil was dry but the pots were heavy. I could feel some moisture through the drain holes. I think it would've been alright either way but I'm erring on the side of caution. I'll check again later in the day. I topped one and fimmed anotger of the blueberry cheese. The purple punch is quickly catching g up to her sisters. I HAD to add a small ring around one of the purple pounce plants as it was WAAAAY lighter than the others. It's possible it could've gotten less water than the others last time due to its positioning. I'm also considering adding silica next feeding. So much left to do before they go outside. Oh and it was fucking snowing here yesterday! May 17 and it was snowing middle of the day. Morning temp wad 31 this morning so I'm staying cautious and making sure I have all my ducks I'm a row before I go outside. I'm also weighing options to either add a pvc hoop on top of my cage or look into protecting plants individually come late fall with our horrible weather. I'm leaning towards the pvc top. I think that would greatly help things. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's looked great. Leaves praying to the sun. Topsoil is dry as fuck but I can still feel a little bit of moisture through the drain holes plus they have a little heft left to them. I plan on watering tomorrow and see how that goes. I wanted to add silica but I'm afraid of changing to much or raising the ph of the soil. 5/19 Found out that my scale will actually weigh the three gallon pots! I don't have an empty one to fill with dry soil to compare though. WATERED everything today. Topsoil was totally dry. Some plants had some heft to them. However I last watered on the 15th so I decided to cut back on the amount of water and see how that goes. Instead of the full 28oz powerade bottle I gave them a little over half. I tried for approx 16fl Oz per plant. Everything is looking great. Other than the little runt. I don't know whatcthecdeal is with that one bit it may get given away or culled. I also FIMed a purple punch. UPDATE: Went back over around 11 and boy weren't the plants looking good. I'm moving my cage and sanitizing my pallets tomorrow. I sanitized my grow bags. I vleaned them with the baking soda and water and a scrub brush but since I had that problem with fusarium last year I then soaked them in a h2o2 solution for 20 mins before rinsing them off and letting them dry. I am so stoked for this season. Wondering about the pvc top and whether it's necessary 🤔. I have TONS of heavy equipment (well dad does) but the smallest thing we have is a backhoe and a bulldozer neither which I'm to inclined to use to move big plants. I thought that since the door to that garage is large enough to drive a front end loader in than if I could find a way to make my pallets mobile I could bring them in if storms are coming. I worry to much. I also got rid of anything that could gave spires on it. Ilk need to wash my plastic trellis netting and the bamboo as well but better safe than sorry. 5/20 Plants are still growing like weeds and are the ones I HST are recovering nicely. Soon they'll go out to the garage and spend their days outside in the sunshine and their nights inside the garage while I harden them off. Having trouble uploading stuff right now. 5/21 Topped two blueberry cheese and one purple punch. Plants are still doing great. We are getting close to go8ng outside in tye forever homes in smart pots ranging from 10gal to 50 gals. I still need to sanitize the pallets but this week I plan on hardening these girls off fully. 5/22 I weighed a couple of the plants and they were different. I think I got a couple 7lbs one that was 6 something and a heavier one that was 8. Looks like I've found the right amount. I plan to water tomorrow. They'll be moved in the next couple days to the garage and I'll let them fill the 3's before they go in their final homes. Plants are recovering from HST great. Still getting cold nights here. Honestly if I didn't have a major life event happen they'd be outside hardening off now 5/23 Watered everything with approximately 18oz of water. I am either going to move plants outside today to indirect sun (even though they've handled full sunlight from an open window) in the garage and keep the light going for a little longer. They need to fill their pots before they go in their forever homes. I've got some work to do but it will pay off. EDIT: Cage has been moved to its new home. A huge pallet takes up most of it but I have littler ones that will fit in. I just haven't had a chance to disinfect these. I'm probably going overboard but I'm not fucking around with that fusarium or other any pathogens this year. I'm going to use the systemic organocide once I go outside. It's going to rain tomorrow amd might be cold but I still move the plants to the garage in the morning.

** A tip if you like trichomes have the patience to scroll down to the micro photos, they are scary. Black Runtz is a crazy beauty, a black isolate phenotype of the very famous Zamnesia Runtz. In the last week before this one you will find the white phenotype with a green apple flavor, but here is the spectacle of nature that manifests itself in the form of a stunning red/purple plant with spectacular trichomes and buds. **Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. This is the plant left to grow straight. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow up to the 6th internode then we did the FIMMING or FIM (Fuck the Missed) - This technique by cutting about 70% of the brunch and the leaves growing in the center is going to give the plant the indication to slow down the growth upwards and distribute the power on the lateral branches that with a bit of LST in fact gave some wonderful secondary flowers. No popcorn thanks to Pruning of the things at the bottom, guys leave only everything that sees the light well in flower. Better with the techniques or the normal ones? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance. I prefer the plant to grow straight, but I know that it can be obtained very well with a main lining or repeated topping. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 15. The plant has resined very well on all sides, the resin is really abundant and above average. The color of the trichomes is something exceptional really we have dark purple heads, light purple, lilac, really a racobalen of shades of red / purple. The buds were washed as recommended by Zamnesia. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to dispose of the plant that at a certain point, before going to the wash, was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to the wash and we are very very well discolored. I predict a very tasty flower, grown organically and washed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All the Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose the soil according to your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother, if you are stubborn use additives, listen every now and then... and then come and tell me about it. Fertilizers are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is already a legend in the normal version, imagine in the Black version... try it! --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz comes from a truly legendary genetic heritage. Our breeders used three modern classics from the United States to create this strain: Zkittlez, Gelato and Runtz. With 20% THC and aromas of grapes and berries, Zkittlez has passed on its delicious flavors and relaxing effects. The ice cream contributed to Black Runtz’s immense flavor profile, giving it high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this three-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts a fast flowering time, very high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that enhance its delicious flavor profile. Music and Frequencies // For about 4-6 hours a day, my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies specially designed for their well-being, and sometimes a little black music to give them those vibes that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is available at ---- www.zamnesia.com

Node 7 formed and started with node 8. Small issues with leaves as there appeared some spots on lower levels with a slight purple / dark green on the edges of the top leaves. Will monitor…might be genetics of excess N. Ran a clean water week. PH of water set to 6.0 - 6.5. need to start with flower nutes towards the end of week 5. Will start adding the nutes at 1/3 strength for a week (starting on 18.05/2019) and work my way up to full strength at end of week 7. Will also be adding sea grow every second week from here on. Removed some of the lower fan leaves (4). Noticed that the plant did stand still but growth started again after about day 2 or 3 after cutting leaves. Stated folding the 2 top leaves to allow more lights to lower shoots. Technique used is to roll stem so the leaf turn 90 degrees top to bottom. Recovers within 2 - 4 hours. Lifted the pots higher. Light distance 45cm. Watering less this week due to the amount given towards the end of the last week. Only sprayed water to keep the top level wet. Will start with 250ml every second day.

14-10-2021: Actually I have to start a next week by tomorrow but I have changed so much today I decided to start a new week today.It is still not easy to maintain a VPD of 0.7..... Well it is only an indication in my case because unfortunately I still do not measure the leaf temperature. Temperature was a bit on the high side last night because the temperature sensor of the PK125 has now ended up under the foliage. Of course it is a lot cooler there so it kept running at 10% I have adjusted that, so tomorrow I expect a completely different temperature trend. Also completely emptied the system today and replaced the Hy-Pro with Ata Awa MAX. I have exchanged the Calmag with the Green Sensation, so this will also be dosed (1 ml/L) from now on. I will add Calmag from now on with a pipette. Let's see how the PH is going, as the packaging of the ATA states that it is self-regulating. If that is the case I will put CALMAG in the reservoir of the PH- and reprogram the system. I have chosen not to scrog today. I drilled a hole in the middle and the container to the right of it and killed quite a few roots (unfortunately the drill went through) and that seems, in combination with other nutrition, a suddenly somewhat lower temperature and the torture between the leaves to to get the sensor in place is enough stress for 1 day to me. So they can now go to sleep and tonight we'll see if there is damage. I'm guessing it's not that bad because previous experiences have told me that they can take quite a bit. 17-10-2021: Flowers are starting to form. 18-10-2021: 2 hours of bondage ;) 139 tie-wraps. Damn.. this is a lot of work on a daily basis 20-10-2021: Finally some white hairs on them.. Damn... never took this long. Will it be because of the high temperature?

Still in the process of drying and curing I wait for the snap Branch drying and they're not there yet but I two of the branches were ready and I cut them and taste them even though not cure was smooth and delicious. I did not collect popcorns I kept everything in small pieces and put it in a pot for edibles. One of them main colas waiting 23.75 grams. After curing this it is a very enjoyable and smooth blueberry smoke with a very strong THC content plus the very big yield and a very good recovery from abuse make this plant a real champ

Hi guys ... always Peyote Critical .. like in the diary with the other two sisters ... this one is following a different diet, practically Vegetarian / almost vegan .. I have been given the same care of its companies and, in addition to the soils, already awarded for the other two and a super soil created by me, I give them molasses, for about 5ml in 1,5l h2o .. Later I spoiled it a little with a dessert based on fruit created by macerating peal of organic banana (x 10 days) previously dried ...and today, Friday 27th, I finely chopped a bit of barley malt and I made a top dressing, wetting with water in mix with 3ml topmax for 3l h2o, to increase the malt action .. for more information on other, I refer you to the diary of the two without this type of SS, where I also wrote a more detailed review on light, etc. all ... "the only "difference lies in the substratum ... this is a super soil mixture, which I have been trying recently, but which worked great with other plants .... I hope you like it 🙂.... thanks for reading👍 ... the next .... Bye

Okay heute startet die 5. Woche, von der Höhe her jetzt nicht überragend, kann sein der Lichtabstand war am Anfang nicht hoch genug. Ich denke am Schluss wird die Pflanze nur 60 cm hoch sein, aber buschig. Ich denke das Pre Flowing startet in einer guten Woche. Die Pflanze scheint ein wenig empfindlich zu sein bezüglich Dünger, hab den EC Wert auf 1.3 runter gefahren da sie an wenigen Stellen minimal Nutrient Burn hat. Das ist das tolle an Hydroponic, einfach das Wasser wechseln. Ph liegt bei 6.0 im Durchschnitt. Hab hier und da wenige Blätter entfernt sowie 1 Ast der es niemals nach oben geschafft hätte.

June 7: she’s doing better but still not right after the frost a couple weeks ago. Check out coyowolves howling on video. June 8: removed frost damaged colas and composted immediately with coffee grounds, peat pot bottoms, some HP Pro-Mix from a couple of failed peat pots and LAB. Cannabis was assimilated almost immediately and it looked like good compost after about two days. This was my Coffee Canna Compost which was used for some autos. June 10: gave it 2.5 mL/L of FPJ as a soil drench rather than just the usual 1 mL/L as a weekly foliar spray. Plant seemed to grow a lot in the next few days so maybe I should do that more often. June 11: looking better since the frost damage setback. Not as strong in the cool weather as the two Quebec Cannabis Seed plants but as we move into summer this plant should be fine. June 13: recovered the six inches of height lost when I removed the frost damaged colas.

I'm pretty satisfied with these Og Kush Auto's so far! Responding very well to my home brew. All my organic teas throughout grow. Watch it take off... to the mooooon! My ultimate goal for this cabinet grow is a Quarter lb. Do you think i can do it with these Fastbuds? What strains to you guys recommend to achieve this goal? 🌲💨🙏✌️

Our Green Crack has started to flower, the main lining has given it a really nice look, it is beautiful to look at with a series of brunches and small buds that go up at a great pace. It hasn't remained very small as I thought, it is going up. The plant is an exemplary one with a medium internodal distance, I managed to work it quite well. We are still using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100% organic. We have moved on to the flowering start schedule that keeps the same Power Roots additives - Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant dear in my house for obvious reasons of Biscotti. Of course the basic fertilizer is now Alga Bloom. The Green Sensation when the flowers are already a bit swollen, do not start immediately. The Power Buds must immediately stimulate the start and development of the buds. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer schedule based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10677-zamnesia-seeds-green-crack-f1-automatic.html Zamnesia Description // Forget what you think you know about cannabis.

Week 5 of 12/12 Have some nutrient burn some plants more than the other. Thats a risk if you grow different types of plants. Give them to much so now i lowered the ec a bit. I have gave them also advanced nutrients revive with ph 6.0. Next time i will give them just plain water and them slowly build up the ec again depending on the reaction of the plants.

Welcome to week 7! She’s doing great in her second week of flowering! She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6. For the start she’s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle. On mid of week 7 she’s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend she’s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients. We are finishing week 7 shortly! She was defoliated once again to ensure more light density in lower conopy. She’s doing still great and she’s not showing any signs of stress or leak of nutrients. It seems that she’s also stopped stretching. Looking forward to the next weeks!

Buenas noches familia, de nuevo actualizamos el diario, y acabamos la cuarta semana de floración, vaya brazos laterales que están tirando, se van a poner hermosas, se las ve sanas y vigorosas, nota mucho la forma sativa de sus hojas así que veremos lo que tardan en florecer. Ph controlado a 6,5 y humedad por debajo de 45% not bad las condiciones temperaturas mínimas de 20 y maximas de 27,5 Grados. Al atar las puntas los brazos tendieron a ir a la luz y gracias a eso la planta está tomando la forma de la esquina.

Of the three, SK is the one that receives the least direct light, but nevertheless she's starting to grow faster. Excellent branching but sensible to the cold. Using this adjustable curved trace I stopped the apical dominance obtaining a thick plant with many well-formed branches. No need 4 feed. Happy and frosty growin for all of you 🤞

Cherry Cola has brown top leaves but the rest of the plant is doing great. Gorilla Cookies is just that a gorilla already on 3rd tier leaves and thick stalks. Will start LST .
