~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.**

Weekly Update:
1/24- Well, here we go into the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto's 9th week of flower which will be her last! 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💚

I harvested 226 grams of dried and trimmed bud plus a bunch of trim and popcorn buds that I didn’t weigh. Definitely had it's ups and downs with my pet rabbit eating one of my plants in the first few weeks :( One of my girls also didn't make it to the end, I must of overfed her at one point and the stress was too much. This amount of buds though will keep me and my friends happy for a long time though!
Thank you to all those that helped with making my first grow a success!
I certainly learned a lot & can't wait to do it all again - for now I've been enjoying smoking the buds and making edibles :D
It took me a few hours to trim all the buds. I didn't measure the wet weight of the plant as I hung the whole thing up to dry as soon as the lights came off. The roots were plentiful and healthy. Even my girlfriend tried smoking with me for the first time ever and she loved it!!!

Day 49-56
(Day 50) I hooked up my carbon filter to the humidity controller and it is keeping the room exactly at 65-70% RH night and day. It looks like it turns on about every 45 minutes for about 5 minutes so it allows me to run the co2 bag properly. I don’t even have to use my dehumidifier. The room is 100% dark now too. Even the small red lights on the space heaters.
Not going to feed anything other than foliars this week.
(Day 51) Blackberry #4 & #8 #9 and white widows #2 & #3 are all confirmed males. Chopped them down and recycled the soil. White widow #1 is the first official female and I’m starting to see pistils on the m39/zkittlez too.
Plants seem to be responding to the light fairly well. It’s hung 32 inches above the canopy which is as high as it can go without strapping it to the roof, which may have to happen one day. The plant can get within 6 inches of the light so I’m probably good. The ppfd output is 1800umols which is super high so I want to hang them as high as possible in veg. I wish I could rent a ppfd meter to see if I’m in range at 32”.
(Day 52) Blackberry breath #3 is the first official bbb female to show. I decided to scrap BCTG #2. It sounded like a good strain but after looking at pictures of people who have grown it online, it doesn’t look up to my standards. I found a very small patch of powdery mildew on one of the leaves so I’m not even going to start with that shit again. I’m really thinking about scrapping the m39/zkittlez and the white widow too. I’m praying that I get at least 4 females of BBB.
I tried super cropping for the first time today. A few of the branches I definitely squished a bit too much as they turned quite brown and looked dead within a day.
(Day 53) Despite the m39/zkittlez vigorous growth, I know it will be a shitty strain that will most likely herm as it’s from a bag seed of low grade weed. I’ve decided instead of scrapping it, I will use it for experimenting with a new chemical powdery mildew preventative. If it dies oh well. I doused it and chopped a limb off a few hours ago during lights on and it seems fine.
(Day 54) I’m about 90% sure BBB 6&7 are both female. #2 & #5 are looking like males but too early too tell. #1 is really tough to say. Just gotta be patient I guess. #3 has a great spread out structure, I hope it doesn’t stretch too much. The scrogging is a priority. I put up the scrog net just to see how it fits. It’s a little small around the edges but that’s fine. So it’s looking like out the 9, I would be lucky to get 4 fems if #1 & 7 would show forsure already. If #1 is a female I have my 4 and I can throw out the white widow. The white widow is just insurance at this point.
Super cropped plants have recovered nicely. Going to continue doing this more.
I’ve noticed that the plants that were put into my custom soil mix have very small fan leaves compared to the fabric pots of straight promix and dry amendments. Could also be the fabric pot is helping dry downs too.
(Day 56) I’m seeing some yellowing so I’m going to give a foliar spray just too keep some deficiencies at bay. All of the plants are stunted except the m39 and bbb#3. Node spacing has also reduced significantly. I can’t help but feel it’s from the intensity of my lights but maybe they just need a transplant into some new soil something. Luckily the stunt and droop is only really happening to what I suspect are male plants anyway.
Leaves are looking twisted and gnarled on #5. Going to move it into the veg tent for a while.
I’m going to mix up and amend my Destiny/coco blend today and transplant bbb#3 and 6 & 7 in a few days.
I mixed them up in contractor bags making sure to toss and turn vigorously.
Here is my blend:
2 bags 40L Destiny soil
2 bags 40L coco
700ml glacial rock dust
700ml oyster shell flour
700ml nature’s pride bloom
300ml basalt rock dust
150ml langbeinite
150ml nature’s pride veg
I am also going to try the Destiny top dress as it’s only 13 bucks a bag and full of good shit. I’m trying to not feed heavy in flower other than 2 or 3 top dresses and 2 teas and nothing after week 5. Because it’s taken so long for the plants to show sex, when I transplant into the 10 gallon pots, they should have more than enough nutrients too keep them going strong all the way through flower with just water. I’m a little skeptical about that though. Besides teas and dressings are fun. Everything should be broken down by week 8 or so.
Will transplant in a few days.

📆 Week 13, 16-22 April 2024
16-20 April - Let the plant grow.
21 April - Increased light power to 100%.
22 April - Let grow and observe for signs of light stress.
This week her bud began to grow in length, so I decided it was time to turn up the light intensity to help manage this process. This will bring the DLI to 60. Understanding this is a high level I do closely watch and observe. Because the light has increased the heat will raise some, so there may be a chance of burn to look out for. I dont expect either one because of the distance from plant to light, but am aware. Her water consumption will also increase.
🍶 16 April changed nutrient solution
🍽️ 16 April updated feeding schedule
💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0
🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.6 at 69 degree F
🔆 Light power at 100%, DLI 55-60 canopy coverage at 12hrs
😤 Using General Hydroponics, HGC728040, Dual Diaphragm Air Pump, 320 GPH
That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Die Woche 4 der Blüte ist rum und die Ladys duften einfach hervorragend💚 allen vorraus die GorillaZkittlez, wahrscheinlich auch die, die zuerst fertig sein wird. Gefolgt von der StrawberryBanana, die auch schon schöne Buds entwickelt. Die "letzte" im Bunde ist die GorillaAuto, allerdings sieht sie so aus als würde bei ihr am Ende am meisten bei rumkommen.
Bei der StrawberryBanana musste ich mittlerweile zwei Triebe entfernen auf denen Mehltau zu sehen war. Sie ist auf jeden Fall die empfindlichste von allen. Blätter waren bisher nur wenige befallen. Die wurden aber auch direkt entfernt. Ich bin mittlerweile über die gesunden Teile der Triebe und den Blättern mit Neemöl rüber und hab dabei so gut es ging die Knospen verdeckt. Bisher gab es keine neuen Anzeichen von Mehltau. Die StrawberryBanana braucht also etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit.
Die GorillaZkittlez kommt sehr gut mit milden und feuchten Tagen zurecht und entwickelt sich sehr schnell. Ich denke das sie in ca 2 Wochen bereit zu Ernte sein könnte. Sie riecht auf jeden Fall schon zauberhaft.
Zu große Fanleaves und Blätter die Triebspitzen verdeckt haben werden bei allen Ladys regelmäßig entfernt. Ein minimales Lollipopping haben die Ladys auch bekommen.
Düngen/Gießen:
Tag 43/22F gab es zum Wasser nur 2ml/L StickyFingers und 1ml/L PowerBuds zum Wasser und etwas ph- um auf einen ph-Wert von 6.7 zu kommen.
________________________
Durch immer wieder mal Regen und recht mäßigen Tagestemperaturen von 18-22°C musste recht wenig gegessen werden. Ich hebe bei allen Ladys die Töpfe an und entscheide beim Gießen wieviel jede Pflanze braucht.
Tag 47/26F war recht warm und alle Ladys brauchten wieder ordentlich zu trinken. Hier gab es zusätzlich auf 5L Wasser: 1ml GreenSensation, 4ml PowerBuds, 3ml PureZym von Plagron, 4ml BioBloom von BioBizz als klein BloomBooster und 10ml StickyFingers von XpertNutrients.
Tag48/27F gab es durch langsam wärmere Temperaturen wieder etwas zu trinken. Diesmal gab es auf 5L Gießlösung 4g BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 4ml PowerBuds von Plagron.

Möge uns die kommende Woche mit viel Sonnenschein begleiten💚🍀

It’s almost time! This week both plants are getting flushed to prepare them for harvest. 🌱
After that, they’ll be cut down and hung up to dry.
#2 has developed an absolutely massive main bud — honestly the biggest I've ever had so far!
Meanwhile, #1 stands proud as the tallest plant in the tent, still giving off that amazing sweet, tropical aroma.🍍🍬
Both plants have shown a very fast flowering time, finishing up quicker than expected!
Upon checking the trichomes, about 65% are milky, 30% amber, and 5% still clear — exactly where I want them for the effects I'm aiming for.
Super excited to see the final results after the dry and cure💚

Week 8 Flower
Last full week of flush (plus a couple days). She was taken down on Day 58 Flower after she'd faded enough. Most of her fans had died off and been plucked. I always cut them down approx half hour before the light is due to turn on. This is so the chlorophyll production is at its minimum, giving you the best flavour and smoke.
She's a stunning girl with fat juicy fruity cola's! 🍇🍓
Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Took them out the tent so I can clean the grow room & tent. The ladies look amazing in natural light.will flip to flower in 7 days. Transplanted into a 25 gallon bag, lollipops and placed under a scrog. I also had to super crop some branches for it to fit below the scrog.

This is my favorite new auto strain now. Enjoyed every part of the grow. She likes the nutrients very light, but was a simple grow with zero problems. Very sticky plant but not too loud. Curing in the Cannatrol as of now and will update in a couple weeks.

After I repotted the plants, they grew really well and healthily for 12 days. Now they are showing iron deficiency again... I already had the problem before repotting. The pH value of the earth has fallen again to 4.8 to 5.7. This time I used biodegradable braids to germinate. I believe that this is the reason for the PH fluctuations in the soil. Every time I water I measure the PH and adjust it to 6 - 6.5. Nevertheless, the PH value drops back to 4 to 5. I'm trying to correct the problem.
I also work with neemoil because I can't get rid of the trips

She is going to be amazing when full sized. I had my quarrels with the lady but it's been rewarding waiting with patients. That is like we should do with all lady's. ;)

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.

Veg Week 4 Day 28 to 34 - 4/24 to 4/30
A lot more to talk about this week. It's time to start the AutoPot resevoir feed, 2nd Topping, and Wire Training
I waited until I saw 3 new nodes of growth (day 29) and then I topped those branches back to the first node leaving a stump for the new nodes to grab as they swell in growth. The branches are quite more stretched than I am used to, so a break is required on the Y branches as they thicken up. I tried not to break the skin and used knitting needles to smash the branches where I wanted them to bend. All went well. I then used ties to the soil to hold them down while they turn back up to the lights. By the end of the week I moved the wire ties to anchor on the main stem instead of the soil
Feed this week was a reservoir feed of 200ppm total before add-ins. I used 200ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and then added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0). I then also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 6.1
Feed plan next week will be a another ph decrease and nute increase. I will also Intro BloomMix - Intro AirDome Air Line - 3rd Top/Train

First day of third week, its been 15 days since they got fresh air for the first time!
Its been quite amazing to see them grow pretty fast, since this is all new for me im pretty amazed!
Plant two, being the one in the middle, has much larger leafs than the others, but i guess thats because its directly under the LED, i wanna start LSD training but tbh i have no idea what to do with so smal space * and i have zero practice with this!
Plant two is also showing some yellowing signs on the tip of new leafs which i have to figure out why! asking some help in forums aswell now and see what i can change, i havent introduce them to bloom nutrients yet and that also might be it, will see what to do very soon! Might need to also increase biogrow levels on that one, since shes taking more light than the other two and growing faster, was wondering if switching places between them would help
for now im watering them daily each with 0.5L per day, with a 1ml/l of BioGrow, no idea if i should increase it or not, but ill learn

Going well except for the cbd critical cure. Few brown spots. It should rebound with nutes added at 1/8 strength.
