New Grower 1st Auto Zkittlez Fastbud

Little update more on the soil and what my Zkittles is telling me. Her older leaves are showing small and early signs of potassium deficiency. It will start in the older leaves towards the bottom then work it way up to the newer ones up top.This make sense because that what it uses for flower to produce bud. So I made an Kelp Meal, Bone Meal, Worm Casting, and Molasse tea. Let it brew the last 48 hours. This will add some great microorganisms and nutrients to the soil for her to feed on. Little more on the Kelp Meal since it is rich in potassium.

08/25 will be start of week 7 from seed. So 2 to 3 weeks should be ready. The trichomes will tell me when she is ready.
According to Fast buds she is ready in 9 week from seed, But I always take that with a grain of salt. So many factors that can extend an grow.

So if you want to use this brand Brut super soil on an strain that loves more nutrients. When following the instructions mix some kelp meal or other nuts into it. How much will depend on what set up and the number of plants you want to grow. The ingredients do list that it has kelp in the mix but don't know how much.

Kelp meal from what I am reading is slow release. So it is best to add it to the soil at the beginning.

Also. Zkittle by Fast Buds are know to love a little more nutrients from what I am reading. So it could be the strain asking for more.

Well have one more week. She is 8 weeks. There are some trichomes that are turning amber while others are getting milky. So she is getting close. Here is an Pic of Day 1 to Day 56 today. Man that is fast. For an grower that grows Photos all i can say is wow......... Even if she is not LST she is nice to look at. This is the first time I have ever grown cannabis without training. And the smell is sweet chocolate. When cure it will smell like berries. Next week will be harvest. I will post on Wed next week before i place her in 48 darkness. 1 week to hang upside down, 2 week cure. then finale weight. Don't know how much i will have. 1-2ish ounce since no LST? what you all think. I wish I can share with you all that followed.

My thoughts on the soil is that it is great for autos however might want to add just a little more nutrients for Autos that want more.

Added note: if you have Friends or family that wants to see what an None LST grow looks like this is it.

Looking pretty nice ! She seems a little young however. Are you checking trichomes on the leaves or the calyx ? You look to be 2-3 weeks out yet imo.

Trust me this is my first auto so ya that is fast. Grew her organic so all i had to do was water. Yep I check them trichomes like it is an religion lol, There are some info on Zkittles from FastBuds where the info is mix between seed banks that are selling the seeds, some say 8-9 weeks then there are some that state 9 - 10 weeks.

That is only an rough time when should be ready and I take that with a grain of salt because it all depends on the grow environment with tons of variables. I check her every day like she was my child lol. She is 8 week yesterday. Looking at the trichomes I can see some that are already amber most are milky and very little are clear still. Most of the hairs are brown while some are still white.

So it all depends on what she looks like and telling me.

For comparison, this is my zkittles og from barneys. She was supposed to be 9-10 weeks from seed but here she is at week 15. Smells like a freshly opened bag of skittles mixed with heavy kush smells.View attachment 1361962

Ah, Base on that i might have to extend the grow. Nice Zkittles she do love them Nu. I see you are growing outside. Wish I can do that where I live where it get 100+ in summer degrees dry hot desert zero humidity. And my nabors are not so keen on Cannabis.

The first time I tried Zkittles, I really enjoyed it. Smells like berries and real smooth smoke. For me it chills me out and that is what I am looking for. Was growing in the past on an off depending what life throws at me. Got tired of spending a lot cash at dispensaries that always change strains that I have to start all over the find the right one that works for me.

Just need to find and heavy Indica for sleep. Any suggestions? I have tried tons and some reason I need an really heavy one.
