~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.

After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.1 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.4 @ 72℉. 12/8- The HST really paid off with the Zkittlez Auto's canopy being nice and even with numerous flower sites that are all getting adequate light to them! I did some defoliating of lower shade leaves and any small growth down low on the plant to focus all her energy to her upper portion which is where I want it to be. Daily watering/feeding continues with her receiving her usual 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Multi Total @ 7.6 ml/g, Silica Von Liebig’s Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1050ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.1 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.4 @ 72℉ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5-10min, I turned her pot 1/4 turn. 12/10- Yesterday I just watered her with 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 that I ph'd to 6.4 @ 72℉ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5-10min, I turned her pot 1/4 turn. Today I fed/watered with 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Multi Total @ 7.6 ml/g, Silica Von Liebig’s Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1050ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.1 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.4 @ 72℉ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5-10min, I turned her pot 1/4 turn. She is really looking fabulous with great color and is in full flower mode now! 12/12- Yesterday, I just gave her 0.5g of well water with a base ppm of 100 which I ph'd to 6.3 @ 72℉ and turned her pot. Today I fed/watered with 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 to which I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Bloom 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g each, Multi Total @ 7.6 ml/g, Silica Von Liebig’s Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 1050ppm(500 scale) nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC (2.1 EC), I ph'd the solution to 6.4 @ 72℉ then watered until I had runoff. After she finished draining, which took around 5-10min, I turned her pot 1/4 turn. Well there's two weeks of flower on the books and we've got another six weeks or so to go with this beauty! See you next week! 😎🤙 ~ 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💚

Let's go! Der Sämling ist schön gekommen, bislang steht der Göttertopf noch in dem geschlossenen Topf, sobald die ersten Wurzeln außen an dem Rapid Rooter zu sehen sind werde ich den geschlossenen entfernen. Die Wasseroberfläche ist einen guten Zentimeter unter der Unterkante des Gittertopfs, das passt dann super. Der Sämling macht sich super, heute kommt der Humidity Dome weg und sobald die Wurzeln unten rausschauen auch der geschlossene Topf um den Gittertopf, aktuell hat die Pflanze sozusagen noch keinen direkten Kontakt mit der Nährlösung. Eine kleine Wurzel schaut unten schon raus, ich denke ich kann den geschlossenen Topf heute weg machen. Davon ab läuft bisher alles problemlos, bin gespannt wie die Pflanze dann reagiert wenn sie "Zugriff" auf die Nährlösung hat.

Flowering week 5 and we are approaching the finish line. Lady Runtz seems to be developing well, the leaves are still very nice and green. I am sure we will be ready in time for 05/31/25.

Hey ihr Lieben! Nach 10 Tagen Trocknung habe ich das Curing begonnen. Die Äste haben geknackt und mir signalisiert, dass sie bereit sind. Nach 5h Handarbeit war ich dann fertig. Mega anstrengend :P! Aber hat sich sehr gelohnt :). Trotz das ich dieses Mal anstatt mit mineralischem Dünger mit einem ein Komponenten-Dünger gedüngt habe (Hesi Bio-Bloom), habe ich sogar mehr herausbekommen... Bin sehr zufrieden :). Nach dem Curing habe ich das Material in die Terplocbags gepackt und lasse sie nun dort schön fermentieren - das hat letztes Mal sehr gut geklappt und kann ich nur empfehlen. Danke an alle die mich bei meinem 2ten Run begleitet haben, ihr seid die Besten! Mir hat es auch mega Spaß gemacht und ich freue mich schon darauf, meinen 3ten Run mit euch zu teilen - mehr Infos dazu kommen bald.

First week went well and now at first day of week 2 moved her to dwc. Light is dimmed to 50% and DLI is 16. We should start to see some faster grow in couple days.

Day 89 - pH thing has been quite steady the last few days, but I think part of the reason is I have been keeping it over 6 (between 6.1 & 6.3) which makes me think it may not be able to feed on something so keeps pH stable (This pH issue could be root acidification with too much Potassium; it seems to coincide with the PK Warrior being added - pH needs to be below 6 for Potassium uptake to happen so I artificially blocked it by keeping pH above 6!!!). EC also going up but not as quick as it was...drops back further than it was when adding RO water (i.e. if it drank 10L and EC went from 1.7 to 1.9, adding 10L back takes it to 1.6). So, as I have been promising myself for the last couple of days, I did a full tank change. Have dropped the feed substantially for the start of week 7 (Which is technically Monday coming). New Nute Strength: Silicon - 1ml/L Sumo Boost - 2ml/L Bloom A - 1.2ml/L Bloom B - 1.2ml/L PK Warrior - 0.4ml/L Sensizym - 2ml/L Fulvic - 2ml/L EC 0.8, pH 5.9 Did have A & B @ 1ml/L but EC was barely 0.7 (Background EC of water is 0.2) so added the touch more A&B so as not to super starve them. Will now monitor pH/EC for the next few days and try to keep levels nice and even for the next 9-10 days before going to week 8 force and week 9 flush and the finishing bulb! ************************************************* Day 85 - Dayum this pH management getting funky now!!! For the last week, pH keeps taking a nose dive (0.5-0.7 a day) with water level dropping and EC rising. Can't work out what the girls are at at all. Apart from lower leaf loss due to light being blocked, the plant is creating some new leaf matter (As you would expect) where light is getting reflected down low but can't work out the pH drops. No matter what EC i set them too, or pH, they only appear to be taking on water...or something micro (Ca/MG or the likes) and leaving the macro's. Topped up tank with some RO (Reclaimed from dehumidifier) water and only added calmag since tank change 3 nights back (It has some N in it for the new green and hopefully just gives what it needs with Ca/Mg). Apart from that, just keeping an eye on things to make sure no burn...dont want to put them on a starve on the beginning of Flower week 6!!!

Week 10-12 This week the Purple Queen really going to the moon. Northern lights is growing buds and smells beautiful. Change water every week. Had problem with ppm in the water, it's was higher the day after even if I put fresh water in. Did read it can develop salt around roots soni flush it and now is dropping 100 ppm a day at least. Still a bit worried about not enough space between buds and wondering if they going to grow alot taler.

First sights of trichomes on leafs (sugar leafs)! No issues she’s growing good just a few yellow leaves on gc2. Looked like she needed cal mag, chopped the yellowed leaves and put cal mag 6 ml. Usually give cal mag every other watering but ima give them more often since I’m using dechlorinated tap water.

Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green and I'm starting to see nice bud sites developing! I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine this week and think it should be fairly smooth sailing from here. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Inicia una nueva semana, subí el EC a 1.4, el PH 5.8 aproximadamente. Todo va bien, los olores están controlados, veremos cómo procede. Tal ves la próxima semana meteré un dehumificador para tener controlada la humedad en las últimas semanas.

Can’t find anything negative to report. Summer camp is going well. All girls are in stretch and looking like they’re going to be basketball players. All are on course to be tall for auto’s. The shortest is now the tallest, the Harvey Wallbanger is at 30 inches, the next is the 91 Grapes at 28 inches and bringing up the rear is the Vanilla Fizz at 26 inches tall. The weather has been a little hotter and drier past few days so the girls will either get a drink tomorrow or the next day. *** update August 2 Day 44 Girls are about half way through summer camp and have been in stretch for the last week. Big changes have happened with the Harvey W. Now five inches taller than the 91 Grapes and the Vanilla Fizz still being the shortest at 28 inches tall. All three girls have entered flower so additional stretch should be minimal (we will see). Lights have the option of adding different spectrums for specific effects, so added some blue to see if it doesn’t slow down the stretch (I think it will). Should help tighten up the nodes as well. Watered them once on Thursday morning with plain water ph of 6.0. Debating whether or not to top dress with bloom nutrients this next time or wait until stretch has stopped . *** video update ***Update/plus video update Aug. 5. Wow!!! Girls are having so much fun in summer camp this year. They have made themselves right at home in the 10 gallon amended formula 707. Watering requirements have increased but that was to be expected and right on schedule. Yesterday watered again with 2 gallons each with 2 ml calmag/ gallon. Have been defoliating the entire time as needed and still may have gotten behind. They grow so fast. The shortest is now the tallest. Miss Harvey is the tallest autoflower that I have ever grown. She is 42 inches with the Vanilla at 36 And Ms. 91 at 35 inches. Stretch should be winding down (I hope)and bud production will take over. The soil I am positive has plenty of nutrients to go the distance but the plants are super healthy and most likely could handle a more bloom driven menu. So after some thought I will start the ladies on a weeks worth of pk 13/14 beginning with the next watering cycle (day 50 mark). That should get the flowers going good!

Bang on the start of week 5. Slap n tickle is by far the lankiest girls in there out of the 3 strains I’m running. Topped and lst training has began. Also got A mutant that’s not taken well to topping and has been a slow grower the whole way though, So I’ve left that one Alone as there’s no branches to play with. Think I’ve overwatered them that’s why some look a bit sad (I hope) lol.. but wanted to wet the soil as been transplanted with only a light watering. All in all not looking too bad, taking well to training although there a bit longer and lankier than the rest!!!✌️🏼

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Sweet Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Non ci sono parole, volevo genetiche violacee ed eccomi accontentato!! Risultato molto interessante in dei vasi da 14l entrambe, hanno uno strato di resina clamoroso. Odore e sapore sono tropicali, un classico per le genetiche violacee, ho anche estratto il polline ed il fumo a prima compattazione era color viola!! Consigliata a tutti!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

5.6oz dry weight wow! First grow & in soil?? This strain is amazing! Anyone that grows this will not be disappointed! She smells and tastes and smokes absolutely amazing! So fruity! She is my firm favourite strain now! Beautiful! Really recommend her so much!

1/30 backed a&b down to 9ml each and added first dose of pk 13/14 @ 4ml. Ppm clocked in @ 900. Reminder, these ladies are on constant drip feeding via troph blumats. They drip non stop and rarely is there any runoff and the media never dries out. I do flush with florakleen about every 2 weeks. Verticle growth ceased all plants. Airpots have been fully penetrated all around from top to bottom, roots are bright white and healthy. 2/1 finally recieved extension and raised lights up. No evidence of burn but it was a little too close 2/2 ordered high CFM kit for the gorilla tent. Walls sucked in much further and intruding on space. 2/3 spoke with the person I acquired the LS clone from and found out he grew it from DNA Genetics seed

Been going so well plants looking amazing they're going to find bigger pots by next weeks update and be in the veg room under there new lights and out of the tent lots more space and lots more light
