Switched the LED to 'Flower' mode following 5 weeks of just 'Veg' light, she is showing signs of coming into flower now. She is short but bushy even after some defoliation. Looks like she has a few good bud sites developing. Bit of white tip on the edge of the leaves has appeared, not too concerned yet, will monitor and try and figure out what the problem could be...Possibly slight sign of 'nute burn' or N toxicity but i have been feeding her lite, i'm assuming the substrate is pos still 'Hot', rich with guano and mycorrhizal fungi. Took a cutting to clone from the Auto OG Kush earlier when i topped her just to see what she would produce. She rooted well and has filled the 1ltr pot. As expected going into flower the same time as the OG Auto mother. 17/9/18

~ 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.

This one's going to be super fun with one of my favorite autoflower strains from Seedsman Seeds, growing in a little 2qt. popcorn pot and entered in the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest, this one's gonna be a champ! 🤩 Today I went ahead and planted a seed directly into the medium which was pre-moistened with tap water from my well. After I placed the seed about 4-5mm deep, I gently covered it with medium and poured approx. 1oz of water on it. I'll keep the pot in the tent with a Solo cup over it to retain the moisture until it sprouts... Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞 11/3- When I checked on the Zkittlez this evening I was elated to see that it had broken ground sticking up about 4-5mm from the medium! I removed the red Solo cup from her and replaced it with a clear cup that has ventilation holes in it and which I misted the inside of with water to ensure adequate humidity for the seedling. 11/4- This morning I checked on her and she's already up to about 18mm tall but has not shed her shell yet. I'll make sure that the medium stays just moist for now until she's a little older. By late in the evening she had shed her shell and her cotyledon's began opening. I noticed, after taking a close look at her, that her first tiny set of leaves were brownish looking with light colored tips. I immediately thought back to when I was pee-moistening her medium and had a 'high moment' using my other plants nutrient solution which was around 800ppm in her pot instead of the straight well water I usually use. I thought that she was getting nutrient burn causing the funky color of her first leaf set but fortunately by the end of the 20 hour light cycle, she had her first leaf set out and the were a healthy green! 11/7- Well gromies this girl has a week behind her now and I'm elated to say that she's healthy and doing marvelously! Up until now all I've done is make sure that her medium didn't dry out using straight well water ph'd to 6.1 @ 75℉. Today I went ahead and watered/fed her with 0.6L of well water with Dutch Pro Grow 'A' & 'B' added @ 10ml/g, Dutch Pro Multi Total @ 7.6ml/g, Dutch Pro Take Root @ 3.8ml/g, Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig Special @ 1.2ml/g and Earth Juice Oily Can @ 5ml/g which was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. The Seedsman Zkittlez Auto is doing great and now is at 2 inches tall with good color. Here we go into her second week since breaking ground and the beginning of a beautiful Seedsman cultivar....follow me! 😎👍❤️ ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏💚

It’s day 43 of flower! All of the plants look great! I’m going to start dialing back the light intensity slowly over the next couple weeks. Harvest time is getting close This was the only plant that was to floppy to move to take photos with the black back

In dieser Woche ist nicht sehr viel passiert. Ich hab gemerkt das ich zu wenig calmag benutz habe aber der Mangel wurde gut behoben von mir denk ich. Ich hab jeden haultrieb getoppt dadurch hab ich anstatt 4 hautriebe 8 hauptriebe. Jetzt wird wieder gewartet sodas ich denke das Ende der Woche ich nochmals getoppt habe und alles einfach hochfahren lassen kann.

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋

Sense63 Woche 16 | Grow-Tag 104 | Ethos Genetics – Mandarin Cookies V2 06.09.2026 Seit dem letzten Update vom 16.08. hat sich die Mandarin Cookies V2 nochmals deutlich weiterentwickelt. Mittlerweile befinden wir uns bei Grow-Tag 104 und Woche 16 und damit klar in der finalen Phase des Grows. Die Blüten haben nochmals deutlich an Volumen und Dichte zugelegt. Die Hauptcolas sind inzwischen sehr gut ausgebildet und wirken kompakt und schwer. Besonders auffällig ist der inzwischen sehr starke Harzbesatz. Die Blüten und Zuckerblätter sind stark mit Trichomen überzogen und vermitteln einen deutlich fortgeschrittenen Reifegrad. Auch die Farbentwicklung ist gegenüber den früheren Updates weiter fortgeschritten. Neben den grünen Bereichen zeigen sich inzwischen deutlich gelbliche, rötliche und violette Färbungen. Ältere Fächerblätter bauen sich zunehmend ab, was in diesem späten Stadium nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Insgesamt macht die Pflanze weiterhin einen stabilen und gesunden Eindruck. Die durch das Toppen in Woche 5 und das anschließende LST aufgebaute Struktur hat sich bis zum Ende des Grows sehr gut bewährt. Aus den einzelnen Haupttrieben haben sich kräftige, eigenständige Colas entwickelt. Auch die kleineren Blütenstände konnten sich durch die gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung gut entwickeln. Düngung Bei der Düngung wurde insgesamt eher zurückhaltend vorgegangen. Während des gesamten Durchgangs wurde ein- bis zweimal Orgatrex eingesetzt. Zusätzlich gab es einmal Bactrex sowie 3 Tabs. Ansonsten wurde die Pflanze überwiegend bzw. ausschließlich mit Wasser versorgt. Trotz der sehr reduzierten Düngung zeigt die Pflanze eine starke Blütenentwicklung und einen insgesamt sehr vitalen Verlauf. Gerade in der späten Blüte ist inzwischen deutlich zu sehen, dass die Pflanze ihre verfügbaren Reserven in die Blüten investiert. Im Vergleich zum Update von Mitte August ist jetzt klar zu erkennen, dass das Wachstum weitgehend abgeschlossen ist. Der Fokus liegt vollständig auf der weiteren Ausreifung und Verdichtung der vorhandenen Blüten. Aktueller Stand Datum: 06.09.2026 Grow-Tag: 104 Grow-Woche: 16 Sorte: Ethos Genetics – Mandarin Cookies V2 Typ: feminisiert, photoperiodisch Lichtzyklus: 12/12 Blütephase: späte bis finale Blütephase Training: Toppen in Woche 5, anschließend LST Düngung: 1–2× Orgatrex, 1× Bactrex, 3 Tabs, ansonsten Wasser Gesundheitszustand: Sehr gut Blütenentwicklung: Sehr stark angeschwollene und kompakte Colas Harzproduktion: Sehr stark ausgeprägt Färbung: Deutlich gelbe, rote und violette Spätblütenfärbung Ausblick Jetzt geht es endgültig um die letzten Schritte der Blütenreife. Die Pflanze hat ihre Struktur vollständig ausgebildet und einen Großteil ihres möglichen Blütenvolumens erreicht. In der verbleibenden Zeit steht deshalb nicht mehr das vegetative Wachstum im Vordergrund, sondern die Reifung, Verdichtung und finale Ausprägung der Blüten. Bis hierhin bin ich mit der Entwicklung der Mandarin Cookies V2 sehr zufrieden. Das Training hat die gewünschte Struktur erzeugt und die Pflanze hat sich trotz der insgesamt sehr zurückhaltenden Düngung konstant und kräftig entwickelt. Jetzt heißt es abwarten, wie weit die Blüten in der finalen Phase noch nachlegen. 🍊🌱

Wow talk about leader of the pack. Not only do both plants look amazing compared to the rest but clearly there is one plant that stands out a bit more then the others lol. 8" taller them the rest and almost twice as wide!!! I can't wait to see what she looks like after this upcoming leaf strip next week. I have to say so far I've been really impressed with not only this SE-5000 light but the Royal Queen Seeds produced. Top notch both of them. Temperature and humidity have been stable for the most part. Was having g issues with my dehumidifier tho for a few days. I believe it was over heating a bit and was auto shutting off. So the my humidity would spike up to 75-80% but luckily it was during lights off and I was home when it happened. After moving a few things around and turning it off for a hour it seems to have corrected itself. Good caz I don't really want to have to buy a new one yet lol. For my nutrients I'm slowly bring it up. By the end of week 2 I should have it closer to 1000 ppm. I also stopped using airstones in my tank because I was having a few issues. Now I'm just using a water pump on a timer. Turns off when lights turn on and the back on a hour before the turn off. I've got most of my fans now running at 100%. Only ones that are still only running at 50% are my two lower section fans. With them set to that I find the temperature and humidity at all 4 corners of the room are close enough that I should have zero issues. Well that's all for now so keep growing everyone!!!

Day 58 - I started seeing these yellow/brow spots, maybe its a calcium deficiency? I have been giving her calcium so it could be a ph problem. I´m also worried because my neighbor tree has leaf septoria so it could be it aswell, i will keeping a real close eye. Last night rained heavily, so today i sprayed her again w/ Botryprot. Humidity here is really high, i think it´s already helping! Next 3 days will continue raining. When raining stops, i´ll spray when possible. Day 61 - Today i fed her the above chart. We are in week 3, so i cut Fish-mix as she´s focusing on her flowers now. The deficiency stopped developing so im happy, but im always seeing crickets on my plant. I remove all of them by hand, regardless every time i get back i see 3 at least. They are loving the blueberry. Forgot to mention i added acti-vera this time, to help stalks get stronger and healthier. Let´s see how she reacts to it, when she was young she didn´t enjoyed acti-vera Day 64 - These last days have been very hot, with a maximum of 30ºC. Will feed her tomorrow at the beginning of week 4. Will keep same feeding, she didn´t complaint about acti-vera now. :)

Little defoliation

Slowly ramping up P and K for flower

This grow is looking like a 9 wks flower and the 3 gallon pots are starting to look like a mistake for the bigger pheno, one I took cuttings from for her vigour and bud structure, elongated buds that stretch and will no doubt pack on some weight later. Some fan leaves are showing signs of nutrients depletion already, gave her 1 tbsp of 2-8-4 mixed in with some molasses and calmag. I don’t intend to supplement any further as there should only be approx 3 wks left. Safe to say I have preserve genetic identity 😂

Excited to see some growth! Had clean paper towels, a dark dvd case, a nail file and tweezers. The file was just to break the outer shell a little so they suck up water faster. I'm curious if it works!

Day 35, start of week 2 in flower, everything is going great so far✌️🏼🌱 Day 37 - All the ladies are looking great✌️🏼🌱 Day 38 - ladies got watered today, looking good & starting to put off a nice smell😍 Day 40 - Still have a lot of yellowing leaves towards the bottom of almost all the plants can’t figure out exactly what’s wrong😅😅

Had a cold, slow growing week this week. Night temps dropped down pretty low a few nights before I noticed, had a cold snap and I recently took my heating vent out of the tent, so I rerouted one of my AC exhausts trough this tent to heat it up again. I also had a bit to much nitrogen in my water mixture so this also slowed them down a bit, I diluted the nutrients in half but removing half of the water and adding strait water. There coming around now a few days later. Gonna be moving them to the big 4’x8’ tent soon(week or so prob till the tent is empty) with the RDWC 5gal bucket system and 1000w HPS for flowering. Gonna let them grow up a bit still before be start there LST, don’t wanna stress them yet after last week and there still staying low and bushy, not quite long enough shouts to pull over yet. Well that’s it for this week, cheers💨 #trusttheplant🌱

Today officially starts week 4 of flower.. - The best part of my day is waking at 530am to open my tent and get a big whiff of that beautiful aroma. MMMM. Gave the girls a good watering this morning and picked out some dying vegetation from under the canopy to keep things clean. Humidity is still a bit low, but with all the vegetation in there I don't mind. I'd literally cry if I got bud rot or some crap like that. - I noticed that the critical kush stems seem kind of of flimsy compared to the other strains. No doubt it smells amazing, but as she puts on more weight it's likely to become a problem. Maybe I should consider silica on the next run.?! Of the 3 kiwi skunk phenos, only one seems to be producing any significant tricombs or smell. The other two look as though they will be good yielders, however, I seriously doubt any real potency. - Of the 9 plants I currently have growing, I would expect I'll probably only keep 3, maybe 4. There's no point wasting time on mediocre bud. - I think the pheno hunt is the best part of the growing process. Every seed is like having a new child. Sometimes, they grow up to be such beautiful creatures. Other times, you can tell their clock ain't ticking right. You can end up with fat high powered coals or those small, no good popcorn buds. And, at the end of the day, unlike kids and wives, you can throw them away and not feel sorry for ordering new replacements online when you get tired of their BS. - - - I love that my tent is right next to my desk. It's the best view anyone could ever ask for! 😍 - Went through today and pulled out a small bit of water leaves to increase airflow from the bottom up to the top, as well as to allow the light to reach deeper in to the canopy. I don't get too crazy with the plucking. Only if its covering another cola or overlapping causing moisture to build up on the leaves. It works well, in my case, to keep the humidity down and limits places for any potential pests to hide while flowering. I usually pull out a handful every other day or so. - - Switched my center light (600w) down to 50% (flower spectrum only) on the 28th. With all of my lights on full spectrum, there's more than enough light for the plants (~1200w eq). I noticed new pistils emerging that shouldn't be and I fear it's causing light stress and/or foxtailing to the critical kush, which is directly in the center of the tent. Since it happened on my last grow with the blue dream and it's not inherently genetic, I'll err on the side of caution this time around.

Welcome to week 3 of my tiny pot grow.... Herbies just been chillin' taking in the sites and smells of the grow tent. Livin' his best life. Plant is coming along fantastic! A few nodes have started to appear. Will probably be able to start training by the end of the week. Still just watering every other day when dry with 1-1/4 Oz. Day 26, Start of the LST! She bent..... White pistol hairs shooting out of the top new growth. We are either are in flower, or very close to it. Day 28, She's in flower and recovered well from the LST.

I have begun with the nutrients. Still using my old general hydro liquid nutrients. Experimenting with a phosphite nutrient to help with root health. PPMs= 265 PH = 6.3

They are both doing good. So far no problems, perhaps having to remove some little branches but WE will see. They are drinking 5 liters a day. I think I will stop giving Nitrogen by the end of that week. Other than that everything Runs smooth.

The grow took 13 weeks and 3 days total, all my blue dream got harvested between 12-14 weeks, thats really good with the yield that comes of them
