On the second day of this week, I filled the reservoir again. This time I have an RO filter available to deal with the tap water (EC 0.8mS). I mixed 10l of RO and 10l of tap, which netted a pH of 7 and an EC of just below 0.4. But of course I had to add more CalMag to make up for the filtered calcium. Even after adding all nutrients, the EC was still just shy of 1.5mS which surprised me a little, I was expecting to land closer to 1.7mS, so I am going to increase it a bit next time, probably to around 1.9mS. The plants are in stretch, and they are indeed stretching quite a bit. NYC and SAD are the tallest right now, although the BJ has been catching up a bit recently. They are between around 45cm and 58cm tall, so overall not too much of a difference, which is also good, but I need to keep an eye on it as I would like to keep them below 70cm. I have no plans to put a net in place at the moment, but this depends on the growth of the next week. All of the plants have been showing preflowers around day 7-9 of flower. No signs of pollen sacs so far. Aside from one calcium-deficiency-lookalike type of leaf issue, which I suspect is something else, ther are no issues whatsoever, which makes me happy.

D113.She was fed 300ml of water 30mins before harvest to prolong drying period. So, after her 15hrs rest, I took half of her, probably around 60% 410.5g wet after I took all the fan leafs, most sugar leafs. Left on the stuff with the most trichs, looks a little leafy but lots of that growth half way down and going into the bud is covered on long trichs. As I'll be keeping that trim, so better to let it dry on the plant. Had some trouble getting it into the boxes. I punched loads of holes and was going to put the box on its side so it could hang dry. But it was just wayyy too much hassle. I'll rotate the buds every 12hrs. Rooms RH is 40% room temp 21.5c. Tents RH has dropped down 2 44% 45% when I walk into the room, sensor is so sensitive, gives perfect RH/TEMP every time. Only a 5% difference in the room compared to the tent. Was 10-15 in it's highest before I got this great dehuimifier. As for the bud, was really really sticky. I literally have dirt/ash stuck in the groves/fingerprints. I've washed my hands 4 times. Now I'm left to rub my fingers together to roll out the stickiness. Crazy high resin filled bud. Man I'm so happy I decided to give her a dark rest period before chopping half. Have open up the whole lower half. I took some bud that you could still see prob would have gotten bigger. But as the plant has stopped feeding, I had to take what I could and leave enough young bud to kick her back into feeding. Fingers crossed. Theres at least 3-400g wet left on her. 410 so far. I'd say 50-80g of that is stem. Let's see what happens lowered her ppm to 1100ppm. 6.25 PH. Tried keeping in the same as the flush water which is 6.3. Update. Decided to hang dry 60% of the bud. Just strung a few line across the box and hung what I could. Sticky isn't the word for what she's putting out at the moment. Full of sugar balls. Didn't want the bud going all felt. After final trim I'll put up bud shots, smoke review. Trichs were 90% cloudy last night before lights went out. Everything turned cloudy almost but the 10-15% that was taken to help produce more explosive growth. I want at least another 3-400g wet. Bit hard to see it there, but the bud is there for there to be that much again if she takes off. If she is stalled and won't eat she finish and it'll be 100g wet of larf/bud full of stigma that'll just turn amber and be weak bud. Fingers crossed she's bloom again. Throw her back on big bud coco. Cut her PPM by 500 and will do a run off test 2moro to see if that number is gone down from the 1100 feed to 5-600 it should be. If it's above 1100 it means no nute uptake and it's also gathering the nute/flawless finish that was left behindz I tried flushing as much as I could but the PPM was still 250 after 25mins of constant flushing. After learning more about autos over the months for the last 3 weeks I've been pushing up the light time. She's actually 20-4 now. I started her on a 18-6, down to a 15.30-8.30 pushed her back to 18-6 now after half harvest I'm hoping she's push back into feeding. I'll know on her next hard flush. So, good new good news. Got a bit of run-off back from the 1100ppm feed. Was 490ppm. Starting to feed again. Yup Yup. Back on big bud coco for 2 weeks. Few days off that and a wk of overdrive, maybe 10 days, depends how they are getting on and how she's feeding. Am going to bring PPM back up by 100 tomorrow and get back up to 1400ppm. But this stage, there's no nute burn so I'm going to give water feeds on every 2nd day, as opposed to feeding everyday. I'm just going to fill her up on nutes, just enough so she doesn't give much back and then the next day that same amount in water. Should keep her heating regular and not be shocked by a hard flush every week. Trying something new. Let's see if we get better results. Happy so far, if I can get 300 more wet, as she is 48cm tall. Lots of bud sites, small larfy but the potential is there for them to be dense like the top side. Let's see. Going to focus heavy on PK. Gonna pull back on the enzymes&tarantula also. No need as they have done all there gonna do in an ineart substrate the plant got it's benefit of them. It kept and very big uneven plant in a state of growth, yes, she stalled, but that was explained why, the short of it is, (as the plant draws food from the top of the node, it that top is done and is only wanting water she's onot going to draw up water. And leave nutes behind. It's why the top slowed down, stopped feeding 2weeks ago and stalled the lower ends) 8/4/22 Pushed up her PPM by 200 last night by way of increasing B-52, mainly PK. Gave her 1.5l of water 12hrs later, and I got about 300ml of run-off that cane in at 480 from 1300ppm. Really well, delighted she has pushed back into feeding as she has been just drinking water. Even the flawless finish she wouldn't take any of that. She was just drinking water. So, thinking of it now and the 80-100g fry I'm gonna get back, more around the 80mark after I remove the bud from the nodes/stems, (Once it's dry, not before) I should be left in the 80range. I decided to fast track some bud, as at the moment I'm smoking dust from my box, so 6.5 stem that weighted earlier was thrown into the eletric dryer. When she hits into 4.5-5g she'll be ready to smoke. Shes frosty as f..k, already lost around 2/3s of it's wet weight, which is too fast, it dawned on me, I've the weed in the room with the dehuimifier, (fuck), not good. Weed should dry naturally, no wind/air flow from fans should be used. Yes, there needs to be air flow, but it should be o'natural. Air dried weed loses terps, resin, thc and drying to quick will give your bud a planty/earthy smell that's not meant to be coming through, yes, a cure will bring back her taste but just let her dry out natural. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I've compared quick dried bud to natural dried bud and the difference is like night&day. Also, air dried bud will go flat and if you are using a drying net/rack make sure to rotate your buds every 12hrs or so, this will stop them from falling in on each other. Esp if you aren't dealing with dense bud. With this though, that's not the case. The bud density is a lot better than the organic that went through a 70%RH for most of her flowering period. This bud is like 3 times stronger. Sativa buzz lasts about 15mins and then a good luck in the face from indica. But is covered in dense hard nugs, the bud for the most part is like this. The rest for density I'd give it about a 7.5/10. Yield 9/10 Quality 9/10 THC level reached 80-90% of the 22% given on paper. She's defo into or very near 20% THC. I'm even thinking of sending some to get it tested for kicks. But as not a 1grain of my bud will be sold, EVER. It'll only be for my personal use, but as she's already put out 410 wet and maybe another 200+ I'm looking at maybe 150g dry. And yes, I will be posting proof of dry weight. 9/4/22 92.5 G DRY of dehuimified bud. Yup, I used a dehuimifier. 1stly it was partly by mistake. Yday, before going out for 12hrs after chopping my bud I closed my door, it was only last night when I was emptying the dehuimifier it was so full of water, I didn't make sense, then I looked up and seen my bud, quickly felt it, weighted it and was topping out at 215. So, I decided to keep going, closed the door and it's been running since yday until dismorning and then 12 hours I let it rest. 100% pure sticky, I actually couldn't believe it. It was like it was 100% long dried. That was the plan. But the difference alone in the 4.5g of bud that was dried in the electric dryer, was a bit sticky, but this is GREAT. It's like it was 100% long dried. I know I don't have a lot of drying experience but I love this method. I'm going to dry the rest of her hang drying in the tent with TDA. And then I'll truly know, but alone the rest of the zkittlez plant has now optimal RH it'll be hard to tell as the bud will be even stronger than what I've already gotten. Which is very very close to 20% THC. Has to be 18%, has to be. It's so strong. 25%Sativa75%Indica. Nice uplifting feeling then a strong head stone comes on. The terps are there and all, but you can get a hint of earthyness, idk if this is normal with zkittlez? But it stinks of a weird, well that smell that only zkittlez has, it's hard to explain if u haven't grown it. I've decided it's not to harsh so gonna cure the guts of it, well it'll cure as I'm smoking it, probably last about a month, if that. I'll go into more detail about the smell effects after 2wks cure should be half left by then. 2.5gs a day keeps boredom away. So first big harvest with damm good bud, I know I'm biast, but it is tops, trust me, I'd be pissed if it wasn't. Chuffed.com. hopefully another 50g dry to come. 92.5 isn't bad for a starter, oh and I took .5 or some shit last wk right, so 93 total. Yup Yup giddy up. DELIGHTED. Can truly say, these grows haven't been without their issues, but now having the gear I do, top dehuimifier, new nute sponsor, moving into DWC fun grows ahead, with what I've learnt, the signs of the plants when to give what, extra/less when to introduce bloom and not go by a fucking chart that says give bloom after 4 wks on a plant that doesn't bloom until wk 7. After I dry the rest of this plant depending on how THE quality is ill be dehuimfying it. And top tip, be sure to fully trim as the amount of dried sugar leafs that have crowed into the bud is a bit much, smokeable and all but ill be pulling out or not depending on how stoned I get. Lesson learnt do a full trim, I was planning to do the whole box but when I seen how much water was taken out it was already too late. And i spent a good 2 hours just taking the bud off all the stems and removed 95% of unsmokeable trim. Also stuff like that with really hard to control RH, even still on this run with all the growing the plant has left and with having a top dehuimifier I know I can even get a better end product. Really excited to see what I can do. Fun times ahead guys!! Watch this space!!! 9/4/22 Plant update. She's doing well, responding well to the extra light, no droopy leafs, no light stress, just like I thought there'd be none. Hasn't stalled, if anything it helped push her back into feeding and is keeping RH below 45 for the most part. Have called it quits on the dehuimifier, has totally cleared my house of dampness whole house has been at 45-48 since she was last turned on 10hrs ago. If RH gets into the 50's I'll put it back on but for now, they are fine, more than, they've lived most there lives in 60+ so. I'm sure they'll finish fine on 50+ 55 max. Upped the PPM. She has slowed down on her amount of feed 1.2l every 24hra she can hold. She got 1.2 L of what you see above, 2moro she'll get 1.2 of 1500 again I'll Just be getting there differently. More PK. So .1ml of coco B bloom and .5 extra of .5 B-52 I'll lower coco bloom part A .5 and something else like bud factor should even it out. And keep her in the 1500 range. Then in 2 days 1.25l of water hopefully get few 100ml and she goes she's feeding. Good bye till then. Gonna enjoy my bud for a few days. D114.5 Took a heavy feed last night on the chin, no signs of nute burn/tip burn. Buds are responding well, only a couple days, so it's hard to tell if she's gone back into making bud, but she's feeding. Can't run the run-off test till later. Seem to be taking the light increase well also. 20-4 we are going to finish them on. Yeah yeah I know, shouldn't be fucking with the light, well it hasn't done any harm I can see as of yet, so.....Yup. lots&lots of numb mistakes, massive learning from these grows. So, drying my bud fast was a mistake, thanks for the tip bro! Seen below in comments. So, will 100% be hang drying the rest of the girls. Gonna chop, full trim and then hang dry it upside down in a 50RH room. But hey, look, nothing ventured, nothing gained, or some shit like that!! Lots of lessons learnt. Your 1st grow is sadly going to be brutal for your girls, r if you wanna play it safe and pull 30-40g go for it, I want big monster buds, quality, fuck quantity. Give me 1 g of Quality of 10g of quantity bud anyday. This is quality/quantity. I done pure quality, organic bud, was beautiful and all, lovely tasty tasty smoke, very smooth were as this is a little more harsh, just a tad. You can't get 100% rid when you are using so many non organic nutes. Heavy metals galore. BAD NEWS UPDATE: Well, it looks like as though I left it too long before taking the colas that has stopped feeding. After harvest I checked her last night and 70% of what was stigma has turned amber. So, she's gonna finish off as she is larfy and airy. Will still be good bud, just not 50g more like 20-30max. Am going to focus on bud factor x/bud candy for the next 2 weeks. Gonna pull back on overall NPK and push sugars. And maybe I'll finish her off on the 2nd wk with overdrive. Will cut big bud coco after this week, as to make sure I don't get rust spots again by mixing overdrive/big bud coco. Changed the PPM down from 1500 to 900 and will give 1.3 weeks on overdrive and then flawless finish for a week ppm will be around 250ppm. D119 Tool 3 top parts of the bud that was 100% done. Will be harsh but the bud underneath is so far behind and is in stall mode as these tops were only drawing up water. So to help the lower growth I took these 17.9 G wet off to get more bud. Total 428g wet 98.2 G Dry took 4 days to dry the 17.9 I got 4.2 or something back. Still a little wet but smokes nice in the bong and joints and very strong much stronger than what I quick dried, and the taste is much much better. Still a little planty but a cure will bring out that zkittlez taste/smell, if I wasn't smoking it. Okay, so the much stronger is right. But now the stone is COMPLETELY different. She's defo a 50/50 indica Sativa now, idk if this is down to the way it was dried or what. So here's the stone. Extremely excited, but nit a excited get up and do stuff, hell no, Im way to stoned to be doing anything, im having trouble writing this even. Yes, I'm uplifted but also in the mood to do NOTHING. Sit back and get baked. It's defo in the middle. Still not a day time smoke though, she's just too poeerful. Really really nice stuff here. Delighted with this new type of zkittlez as I was getting a little tired and tbh fairly use to the high. Defo be growing multiple strains next time for choice. Peace and thanks for reading! Be sure to drop a like so I can check out your grows when im back. Keep the growings a going🌱🌿🌷 gottagrowsometime

This girl is phat. Real thick stalk and massive leaves. I topped her twice, which I had reservations in doing given her weak start. She bounced back incredibly so she also got some LST to open up the canopy. It's flower time for this lady and I'm excited to see her stretch and fatten up!

3 weeks curing and i think its done now very strong and sweet smell. Really enjoy my first autoFlowering harvest with this strain.

Filling out beautifully . Big stretch. Actively in flower now so I will start bloom nutrients on the next feed.

I can’t believe it’s finally over to be honest I liked them that much I dident really want to cut them down 😂. But overall they been great had a few deficiency’s along the way but they always bounced back, Their the most frosty and dense buds I’ve ever grown and if it tastes as good as it looks I’ll be doing it again. Big thanks to @PharmaZ for all the help from start to finish I can guarantee they wouldn’t be like this without his help and the rest of the community. Once dry and jarred I’ll update the rest. ✌️🏻🔥 29/10/18 - at first I wasn’t the biggest fan of this smoke as the flavour really wasn’t for me as I’m more a fan of citrus/fruity strains but to be honest after nearly a month cure the taste has improved a hell of a lot it’s got a very smooth taste and I can taste the cookies gentetics in it now m, especially in plant #1 because #2 and #3 are a lot more diesel/gorilla glue. Strangely all three plants were completely different pheno types but when it comes down to it I definitely preferred plant #1 from the other two as it had the best taste, bud density and overall appearance with the light green/purple colour way whilst being quite frosty. Plant #2 is still quite dense defiantly a 7-8/10 but has a very strong diesel taste and I also find the shape of the nugs appealing as their less dense than plant #1 but they have larger nugs and a mad bud formation I haven’t seen much. Plant #3 was unfortunately the ugly duckling of the group as you can tell from the picture, she was extremely hard to train as she had hardly any flexibility and I felt like I was going to snap the main stem from day one of training and because of that scenario she revived less light and dident grow as tall and dident keep up with the rest of the canopy, it’s still dense and frosty it’s just the nugs are a lot smaller compared too the others and again a diesel type smoke.💨💨💨

28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.

Hi fellow growers, for this first week of flowering, everything went smoothly. She took the defoliation from last week well and kept growing strong. She took 8cm during this first week of 12/12, nothing crazy but I hope she is gonna take more this coming week, so that she has pretty long main branches by the end of stretching. I'm glad the smaller branches that occupy the middle grew well and full up this empty space. I'm tucking daily the fan leaves from the main branches to allow a maximum light to reach the branches from the middle. Last week I was wondering if I had gone too strong on the defoliation and then I read about this schwazzing technique, when one defoliates even more, basically removing most of the leaves, this on the day of switching to 12/12 and then doing this same heavy defoliation 20 days later. So be prepared, in two weeks I'm gonna apply the recommended second heavy defoliation and we'll see how that goes together. 😁 Humidity is around 70% at the moment, it's on the high side but I'm not too worried about it. For the nutrients, I'm still religiously following the biobizz schedule and so far, so good. I started this week to log everyday some basic data about the plant, like height, temperatures and humidity. I guess it would be nice to have a little graph at the end to see the evolution of the plant or whatever one wants to do with the data. I think it's good practice too. -- Stereoscopic pictures -- You might have wonder what the hell are those two pictures where seemingly the same picture is put two times. They actually are stereoscopic pictures or 3d pictures. It's using the same principle as 3d for movies or virtual reality and it tricks your brain into seeing in 3d. Basically each picture is the view from each of our eyes. I made those pictures so it allows to see them in 3d without glasses. Follow along with this little tutorial (The picture "stereoscopy 2" is easier. I find it as well easier on a computer as smartphones have a smaller screen): - Having the pictures in front of you around 30-40cm (15-20cm on smartphones) from your eyes, start crossing your eyes slowly. - Both pictures are gonna move toward the middle. The idea is to make both pictures superpose each other in in the middle. - Start to focus on the superposition in the middle and if necessary, adjust the distance between your eyes and the screen. - Once it's in focus, you will instantly notice it and see my weed in crystal clear 3d! You can then move your eyes in the picture and enjoy it. - With a bit of practice, it becomes quite easy to focus (1-2s only) Even the NASA does it! https://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/crosseyed.shtml Let me know in the comments if you managed it and if you find it cool or not! 😉 Take care everyone and see you next week!

Most ladies are showing signs of flowering so today I will start counting the weeks. Here u can also see my mutant/special ladies. They germinated a bit different from the others. Day 3 of flower is showing some major progress‼️🙌🏽 I did NOT top any of these mutated plants. I only removed some very ugly growing leaves. So everything u see on them is done by mother nature.

super!!! girl, mature :) I didn't increase the light intensity this week :) it's 32° in the suitcase during the day, which is a lot, but she's coping well with it, this week I'll move the suitcase to a cooler room and hope to lower the temperature to at least 30° :) good luck to everyone.

Week six. She is probably about ready to flip to flower. I did some defoliation and cut some lower branches to root clones. This thing is bushy as fuuuuu, even after my fan disaster damaging her! I am doing some LST on lower branches and will SCROG as best I can when I flip to flower. She is happy and healthy right now. No issues. Humidity in the tent has been a bit high so I may have to get a dehumidifier in the tent soon. This strain has been putting out the prettiest ridged leaves. Ive been having a blast taking artsy photos of them lol

Day 21. I post one day earlier, but its a huge week for them. Cleared space, install chicken wire fence. Added worm castings, epsom salt, mono potassium, calcium nitrate , Great White, Biosys and hope they will be ok. Next visit in two weeks. Root system was good, couple girls had mini root bound on the bottom, so timing was perfect ! Happy Growing !!!

. 🌱 : 💧 : 4l day 63, 4l day 65, 4l day 67, 4l day 69 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Looks all good. The Fruit Spirit is growing big time. Unfortunately the Legendary OG is very slow, I believe it’s because i plant it in a very big pot and is getting focused on the roots for now. It does look healthy anyways. The Blue cheese automatic is growing really quick. Unfortunately in week 3 the Legendary OG has died. I found out that i was giving nutrients to early so I kinda burnt it. Feeling sad about it. I’m doing another seed now. Northern Light Automatic. This week I added chamomile flowers to the soil. I baked in the oven egg shells which I added to the soil as a natural Calcium.
