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

Starts smell a little bit. Getting bigger

Due to security issues, I had to harvest early and did not have time to take pictures Day harvest 58

Decent week. Moved into the tent under the big light so stretching should stop. I might have to add some support for the time being.

..... Rückblick der letzten zwei Wochen – Cannabis-Tagebuch: Turbulenter Start und wichtige Lektionen Die letzten zwei Wochen waren alles andere als ein Spaziergang, aber meine Pflanzen haben sich tapfer geschlagen, und ich habe eine Menge dabei gelernt. Der Start war holprig, hauptsächlich wegen einer defekten Luftpumpe, meiner langen Arbeitszeiten und der notwendigen Grundreinigung der Anlage. Die erste Woche: Der Kampf ums Überleben und die große Reinigung Die erste Woche war echt kritisch. Ich war viel in der Arbeit, und genau da ist meine Luftpumpe ausgefallen. Diese Pumpe ist eigentlich dafür da, meine Nährlösung mit Sauerstoff zu versorgen – lebenswichtig für die Wurzeln! Ohne sie bestand die Gefahr von Wurzelfäule. Die Pflanzen sahen gestresst aus, ein paar Blätter waren welk oder leicht gelblich. Das war ein klarer Hinweis auf den Sauerstoffmangel. Aufgrund dieser Probleme und um sicherzustellen, dass keine weiteren Komplikationen auftreten, habe ich die gesamte Bewässerungsanlage grundgereinigt. Das war zwar zeitaufwendig, aber absolut notwendig, um alte Nährstoffreste oder Ablagerungen zu entfernen, die die Funktion beeinträchtigen könnten. Das hat mir gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, die Technik immer im Blick zu haben und regelmäßig zu warten. Dazu kam, dass ich durch die Arbeit kaum Zeit hatte, die Beleuchtung optimal einzustellen. Das hat anfangs auch zu etwas ungleichmäßigem Wachstum geführt. Die zweite Woche: Erholung und Stabilisierung – mit Klimaanlage! In der zweiten Woche konnte ich endlich eingreifen. Nachdem die Luftpumpe repariert und die Lichtverhältnisse angepasst waren, haben sich die Pflanzen sichtbar erholt. Das Wachstum nahm wieder Fahrt auf, und die Blätter wurden wieder kräftig grün. Es war eine Erleichterung zu sehen, wie widerstandsfähig sie sind! Aufgrund der aktuellen Hitze verwende ich jetzt zusätzlich eine Klimaanlage. Damit halte ich die Raumtemperatur konstant bei etwa 27 Grad Celsius, was für die Pflanzen im Moment optimal ist. Das hilft enorm, ein stabiles Klima zu gewährleisten und Stress durch hohe Temperaturen zu vermeiden. Ich habe gelernt, dass man auch bei Zeitdruck die wichtigsten Kontrollen nicht vernachlässigen darf und schnell auf Probleme reagieren muss. Die gründliche Reinigung war hier ein entscheidender Schritt. Trotz des holprigen Starts bin ich optimistisch für die Zukunft. Die Pflanzen haben sich trotz der Widrigkeiten gut erholt und entwickeln sich jetzt stabil. Die anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten haben mich definitiv aufmerksamer und proaktiver gemacht.

So work has been very busy - but plants look like they are doing well, last week we added the SCROG and top dressed, then just watering (De-chlorinated / PH 6.8) and 1 watering with Recharge. The tent is alive with flowers, tomorrow I am going to add a second SCROG net to help with the weight when these flowers become massive, also will clean out the plants a bit - and may try to create a compost tea. Remember last week I moved the little girl over to my grow cabinet she is doing well but weird phenomes produce such a short plant when her sisters are like triple her size. 02.06.20 - Today I defoliated the little girl - look at all the flowers I found, I topped dressed with Organically Done Bloom Boost with Recharge. 02.06.20 - This afternoon I defoliated and cleaned out all 4 of the girls, topped dressed with Organically Done Bloom Boost (De-chlorinated / PH 6.8) - along with a few doses of optics overgrow planned in the morning - I like to use optics overgrow for insect an inoculant and as a WPM prevention, the other amazing things this dose it just a bonus. 02.07.20 - Uploaded a few pics of the day after defoliation - all looks great! 02.07.20 - Just a few more pics from this evening - the plants are responding well to the cleanup - also pushed the light to 100% now just have to keep things watered and let the buds get fat and juicy!

Week 5 of flower The buds are swelling nice. The aroma's are starting to smell real good. The blueberry pancake left in the back already got a really sweet blueberry smell. The other 2 blueberry pancakes are doing great to, Of the 4 they look the most mature The collie man kush is also doing good and the trichomes are starting to build up. Lets see what next week is gonna bring.

Growing great I open my tent smells like dead fruit love it 😀 can't wait for these flowers to form and show the true character of this cultivar

did some light defoliation (lower larger leaves and the ones touching soil) on day 28. started feeding her bio-bloom as she transitions to pre-flower. next week will start feeding with top-max as well. looking healthy but im worried they wont grow as much as expected :(

Вторая неделя прошоа на мой взгляд удачно. Один раз случайно перелил, но растиха быстро отшла. В целом полёт нориальный, видимость отличная, поводадля беспокойства нет. Увидимся на следующей недели😀

Week 4 Flower (11/24 - 11/30): Well, well, well... This was the week of thanksgiving and both of the kids parents were out of the state! We had to call in uncle Marcus to come and tend to them. We set him up with the second batch of tea on 11/18 (I'm sure I've given them like at least 4-7 batches of tea so far even though the feeding instructions said start during week 3...) but honestly, I feel like it was a good decision. The canopy isn't as leveled as I would like it to be, butttt there are ton's of bud sites coming up. I did a healthy defoliation (that honestly scared me).. but I think it was for the better removing any overlapping leaves, lower branches that were not receiving much light, and new branches below the top three nodes that were stretching to get light. The new branches were the hardest to remove, as it was hard to tell whether they could live on as new bud sites... but remembering that most of those were beneath the top of the canopy and that all energy is transferred energy.. guided our defoliation. We were home for exactly 24 hours between 11/17 and 12/1 and that is when we prepared another tea for the plants to get 11/27 from there they got one more watering of plain water before another tea to kick off week 5. The stretch is in full effect and they might get a little taller, but we can clearly see where the buds will be packing on weight soon.

At Breadandbuds we have never underestimated F1s and here we have a great example of why: Do Si Dos F1 Hybrid Automatic. We have two plants that you can find compared at the end of the photo gallery of this diary, one left to grow straight that will be harvested tonight and you can find described in this diary and the other worked with a mainiling that made it bonsai style that will be harvested in about 10 days. THIS IS THE HARVEST DAY FOR PLANT 1 the one not worked with techniques. The characteristic of F1 plants small and fast flowering (on average) is found in this strain grown in winter () I'm sure that in autumn I can do something bigger) They are both very beautiful, resinous and fast, the one worked with the techniques has the natural delay due precisely to this type of work. This plant collected in particular has a height anot very great but it really has all the little things in their place we really want to taste it as soon as possible. It was all in an intensive flush, we both arrived a little too full and so we planted with the basic fi fertilizers girls.

It’s a nice grow so far in terms of expectations reality on the seed breeders. Great stuff again. I had a real germination nightmare this time around though - lots of strains failing at seedling so the numbers and strains became more 😂. So the tents are mixed up again to auto on one side and photoperiod on the other. In this tent as well as Afghan and a red gorilla - there is sweet zensation , banana krumble and red hot cookies and a peyote skittlez. Water in using ro solely through the grow. There has been one issue. I tried a “pro” substrate from biocanna this time and I have those little fleas. Really annoying and my aphids are late so kind of annoying - takes the pleasure off a bit. Any good organic solutions let me know please on comments

In my quest for the perfect modern grow room, I got my hands on a super cool device: SensorPush. Each SensorPush is a tiny low-energy-bluetooth thermomether+hygrometer. I have 1 sensor in the indoor tent and 1 sensor in the outdoor micro greenhouse. Both are connected to the "SensorPush Wifi Gateway", allowing me to access to the datas at anytime from anywhere in the world. SO COOL! I started to collect datas more than a week ago and it has been already so helpful, I noticed that every single adjustment (side fan speed, thermostat mix/max, window opened/closed, driver dimming..) has a direct and immediate impact on the environment, and being able to see the detailed live statistics is the perfect way to adjust the parameters. I had one important issue this week: my timer was acting weird and the light was turning on 40 mins while the plants were in the middle of their night, but thanks to SensorPush I was able to notice the problem immediately and fix what could have gone dramatical. I love these sensors so much that I've started to dig into the SensorPush API, and guess what: after a few minutes I was able to get the datas showing up on my webcam feed, so now my webcam app is also showing me the temp+RH! SO COOL! Thanks for stopping-by and stay tuned for more big-data 😎

Almost caught up July 15-25

Overall I would say really successful first crop 1 plant 71.36g and I've smoked about a q the last couple of days before weighing as I ran out😂🤣 also considering I had to cut the biggest cola due to rot and a couple others medium snips I'd say really nice yield, looking really nice, smells amazing, does need a little cure to get the taste there a little more is a little harsh but not too bad at all, had fun growing this, just ordered 3 seeds of barneys runtz muffin and got a free wedding cake so that's me sorted for round 2 will be back soon, still got the strawberry amnesia to finish drying, 3rd day in so far so will be uploading that once done, hope anyone following or even glancing through has enjoyed viewing :)
