Last week of actual veg! I plan to stick to the same old lighting and watering schedule this week but am gonna experiment with a foliar feed of the potassium humates to see how she likes it. I figure it's better to test things like that now than in flowering. She's beginning to develop something between the nodes, though it's still too early to tell for sure if she's a girl. (It was a feminized seed so I certainly HOPE so!) This plant has given me absolutely zero problems despite being in the most maligned soil under a weak-ass CFL bulb AND transplanted, which is supposed to be a no-no for autos. It def looks unmistakably like pot now lol so I've gotta figure out where to hide it should the landlord come in. (Legal state, illegal building). Hoping this Ona Pro Gel will be sufficient to offset the stench once she starts reeking. 😁 So my 1st attempt with the humates was a fail. I for some reason thought the pH was too high so I sprayed some white vinegar into the mix to bring it down, which it did. But then I read that you're NOT supposed to mix the two, plus I'd possibly made the solution way too strong by using online "recipes" vs. what the package said: 1 tsp per gallon water. YIKES. I'd used 0.7 grams in 2 liters the 1st time. 🤦🏻‍ Thankfully I only sprayed that mix on the two bottom leaves before realizing what I'd done, so I sopped it up, poured out the rest and made a more dilute mixture without the vinegar this time. I used my little 8 Fl. oz spray bottle to mist the plant from a healthy distance before her brief dark period, which is where she's at now. Did a 2nd foliar feed the following day and she's looking just dandy! (Aside from the twisty taco leaves at the top lol). After watering, she was incredibly bloated with leaves curling downward in that tell-tale "over watered" claw. How this is possible when I water only 1x every 7 days, grow in a fabric pot, keep fans on her at all times and am using moisture control soil is beyond me, but it would appear this plant HATES water. The soil was bone dry when I watered & I even pH'ed the water this time before giving her a drink.... no luck. Oh, and the H2O is room temperature every time. Same 16.9 FL oz. purified drinking water as last time... After some reading it looks like this strain is just highly finicky and somewhat harder to grow than other autos, though most people ended up happy with the results. This also explains why she's so tall with so few leaves/branches: they say Zkittlez Auto stretches like crazy. I'm gonna try to stop obsessing now. I added a 2nd CFL bulb (yellow) to see if it boosted her growth any, and sure enough, I got some noticeable and rapid change in her appearance after only one night. So that was a good thing. Next week will be when I switch to 20/4 light schedule and try a soil feed of the Potassium Humates with her once-weekly watering lol. Stay tuned. Final update for the week: I put pipe cleaners on the ends of her big branches to help open up the bud sites. It's too late for actual LST, plus she's so sensitive I doubt she'd like it. Don't wanna waste 1-3 days recovering from that. But I'll probably lop off 2, if not 4, leaves early next week. (1-2 sets total). She's not leafy enough to "leaf tuck" as planned but some of those bottom ones are def redundant.

Mal gespannt was noch so passiert!

Germination when great we are now into week one of the grow stage . I started feeding it 320ppm of the expert nutrients line of grow. She seems to be nice and healthy with the beautiful green colour I will be updating every week so tune in and thank you for looking at my diary and always remember it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

Well we are on to week 7, and what a start. I have nicknamed the first one Hulk. It will not stop growing. I defoliate at the end of every week now. I looks like a giant pile of fan leaves when I'm done, but the plants still look full and lush. I was hoping to see some actual flowers by now but nothing as of yet. Maybe by the end of this week they will start to poke out. I did not anticipate such a stretch. This is my first time using this system and it seems to be working rather while. I am trying to go without changing the water now. I want to keep them at this ec for a few weeks so I have been topping up with nutrient water and so far they seem to like it. As long as they stay green and the water stays clear I will continue like this. They are drinking about 2 gallons a day now and eating just as fast. Growing is a true art and I find myself really starting to enjoy the training. I want to make it bigger and better. Already making plans for the next grow. Well I posted up some cool videos and pictures, at least I thought they were, so let me know what you all think. Everyone is so quiet here. Well I will update later on. Keep it growing ya'll.

Week 2 of flower The Red Hot Cookies and Lemon Orange are really stretching out. Glad I put them at the back of the tent. The Mimosa X Orange Punch is taking her time as far as flowering goes. The Black Apple Hitchcock (there is a separate diary for this plant) has been even slower transitioning into flower. But all in all the plants are happy so I am happy. 6.0 pH 500 ppm 65F water temp 71 tent temp 41 % RH

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Una settimana colma di cambiamenti, é incredibile come le piante senza nessun tipo di training si adattino perfettamente tra di loro allo spazio circostante, quanti sensori possiedono le piante? Come comunicano tra di loro? mi ha sempre affascinato...

Jan 4 - Had some high temps in the morning. Plant is growing with buds fattening. Less green on base of calyx' means there's probably less than a week to go. Some wilting occurring as senescence comes to an end. Jan 5 - Watered at 3.30PM. Calyx Trichomes still show clear. Defoliated two wilting leaves to provide better airflow for the next week. Jan 5 - HARVEST UPDATE (7 Days Drying) - First plant showed signs of first small branches snapping. I've snipped buds (with sugar leaves) into a jar to cure. I'll manicure once I ensure the humidity level is ideal. Jan 6 - 11.30PM Calyx' are finally showing amber, and quite a few! There's still clears, but this likely means harvest is close. Removed 1 wilting fan leaf. Jan 7 - 5.00AM Harvested remaining plant, removed fan leaves and left sugar leaves. Hang drying at 60F and 60%RH, will check on in a week. Jan 17 - Jarred both plants at 63%-64%RH. Dry weight for first plant 17.4g is and Second plant after trim is 25.9g. Total harvest is 43.3g dry.

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦💦 Fading and fattening up, she's looking very frosty and smelling as beaut as ever. I like to pluck a few of her biggest, greenest leaves throughout flush as it'll speed up her fade and flush her quicker by taking away stored nutrients. Looking forward to watching her fade! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

A desigber strain well worth the price. Grows magically outdoors with little to no care. Astroboy didnt get em, so its a win. Thanks for following, see these genetics shine under my indoor diaries.

Day 77 She has chunked up a bit and put on trichomes. Considerably more than her sister. Watered with 17oz spring water no nutes. Likely the last watering. Gonna check trichomes for % amber and chop on Day 80. Day 78 Buds are dry enough, ready for trim and cure. The whole plant is larf except for two colas. Quite disappointing but it was a crazy grow with lots of curve balls. 1oz trimmed bud off of this. Still have the second plant in the tent so we'll see what we get. When it's ready. Day 79 The remaining plant in this tent is fading out nicely. If I'm honest, this is the first time I've actually experienced this. In the past, I harvested too soon, or thought it was a deficiency. I am watering with plain spring water, top and bottom. Trichome check later today. Trichome Report: 30% clear, 70% cloudy, no amber. Day 83 - Chop Day! Finally chopped the 2nd plant of this grow. She chunked up considerably and is funky. Nothing spectacular stands out, just smells like strong weed. 4.6oz wet. Buds are in the HerbsNow dryer set for 72hrs. Finally took a toke of the first plant. Such a clean smoke. Nice day high. I was stoned but totally functional. Super sticky! Full harvest report coming as soon as this plant is dry.

Rough start to this blackberry but she's getting there.

Hey now! This week went very well. I feel like she is finally done growing, and just starting to thicken up and ripen. I did switch from the liquid koolbloom to the dry, and within 48 hours or so I really started noticing the weight of the colas start leaning towards the floor. I did support the main colas last week, but this week I noticed several of the smaller unsupported colas started drooping to the floor, so i added a few support lines. I am thinking maybe she has two or three weeks left. I am not a big believer in an all out flush, as I do not wish to stress her out even near the end. Rather, I am gradually weaning her off the nutes over the next 2-3 weeks. She is starting to get brown tips on almost every leaf so not sure if this is just her being near the end or a bigger issue?? Any advice please hit me up! I'm still struggling with humidity issues, but she seems to be ok! Thank you so much to everyone in this community for all the love, support, and help with my first grow. Thanks and blaze on!

Anfang vierte Blüte Woche Pflanzen sehen gut aus Habe sie generell wenig gedüngt

Started Training Late! Was on summer holiday for a week and only started training now. Above are the plants during training as well as a few hours after training. Autos are definitely more delicate and the two runts are growing slow but yet still showing some progress. Changed my bulbs back to the CMH set to 400w each (2) Also gave them a good amount of water as the FloraCaps aren’t covering the whole pot I felt like it was necessary to wet the entire grow medium well for a change. Some of them were a bit far along for training but I did the best I could. Also the Purple Lemonade and 2 other plants are showing signs of flowering.
