Zkittlez Auto Question..

This is week 6 of veg. The 2 younger plants are Feminized Grand Daddy Purple. My question is how much do you think she'll yeild off of looks?

In before a dozen people tell you about a pound

But really there’s no good answer just grow it, dry it and weigh it. It’s really easy to get excited and think you’re gonna have more weed than you know what to do with. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch and all that.

nice plants though I’d flip soon don’t forget they can double in height the first couple weeks of flower.

I've lst-ed, topped, and defoliated, all in weeks 2-4 of veg. Have let it take shape, and grow til then, I still train her. I've got about 15-20 tops 40-50 bud sites all together.


Nutes as follows:

House and Gardens,
Aqua A & B
Root excel
Multizyme
Botinacare Calmag
Miicrobial Mass (beneficial bacteria)
Botinacare Hydroguard

Im switching to flower next week 12/12 (18/6 as of now)

Will be introducing Atami Bloombastic. Should I run house and garden Bud Xl if I run Bloombastic?

Thanks! Yes I will flip this Sunday, want to give to 2 gdps another week to get some size on their root balls.

I’m a little lost is one an auto

The Zkittles strain is an Autoflower. The breeder ended up sending me a pack of zkittles auto seeds instead of the Feminized seeds. So I popped it.

Its the plant by itself.

Was Just curious.but it should have flowered by six weeks. to be honest and if you have to flip it 12-12 to get the others to flower then will loose yield on that plant. If have to switch 12-12 to make it flower it’s not an auto

Auto at six weeks of 20-4

I've been wondering that myself. I've put it through a fair amount of stress, do you think that prolonged the flowering? Its got white pistils starting undermeath the bud sites..

The strain info

Could just be mislabeling or a “fast” strain.

“fast” strains are basically unfinished auto breeding projects. First generationof an auto strain crossed with a photoperiod. You gotta backcross or something a few times to breed in the auto trait. The fast strains still need a photoperiod change to flower but tend to do so more quickly than the pure photo parent.

Awhile back I had a similar issue. Thought everything was autos. Come week 8 I’m like why tf are my plants 6ft tall and not budding. Flipped to 12/12 boom 6 weeks later everything’s done.

Well damn, I was trying to give it another week to help out my gdp's but I probably need to flip tonight then. Will the 12/12 severely impact the yeilds. I've also switched over to a 600w hps bulb since this photo 3 days ago. So the yeild should be better than what my mh would of given me.

If they were true autos then flowering under 12/12 would decrease yield pretty significantly. But by week 6 you’d have pretty well developed flowers if it were a true auto. Fast strains still need the flip to 12/12 to flower.

I would flip and lose some yield off the one so your other two won’t outgrow the tent imo

Thanks guys, that's what I'll do. This is my first grow so I've been a little overly cautious with certain things. Swinging for the fences and trying to get medical grade product out of these plants. I've got my medical card for the dispensaries, unfortunately growing still isn't legal. This will save me some cheddar in the end.

4 to 5 dry ounces

I would also say 4-6 oz

Nice! 4-6 ounces will be worth it! This first grow has taught me a lot. Dwc doesn't like organic nutes so much and a healthy environment is ideal for avoiding root problems. Understanding the correlation between the plants and ec/ppms is my main focus as of now. They are drinking a lot. I just did a flush for 48 hours before this flower transition begins and they seem to be drinking at an even rate (ph/ppm wise) now. I locked them out Saturday and started to see nutrient burn on the tips of each plant. 1200-1400ppms of house and garden nutes was what I was feeding them but choosing the aggressive route lead me to trouble vs letting the plants tell me what they want and up nutes over time (which I'm trying to dial in & understand further). Its been fun though, hoping for a nice Christmas harvest of lush fruity colas.

Week 3 of Flower.

Decided to add a few perq's. Side lighting & a DIY C02 concoction (Warmed up the C02 containers with some hot water to get the yeast activated and the separators already bubbling!) Hopefully it helps. Also threw in a couple crates under the grand daddy purps to even out the canopy.
