I just cut my 5 zskittle auto's 2 days ago got em hanging as I type. They smell so sweet and fruity. Hope they taste as well . Luckily I have enough super skunk left from last run to let me get a month cure time in the jars. Hoping for 9-10 Z's. Were advertised as compact bushy plants, so I put 5 in 3×5 closet. Much to my surprise I ended up with a 4' sea of green lol. Here's a few pics, hope yours do as well. By the way, I was in 3 gal fabric pots, coco with pearlite and added about 25% worm castings under mars hydro tsl 1000 led and used sensi bloom a+b perfect ph for coco and they loved it. 15 mg of each per gallon with cal mag + iron. When I took them out the closet they were so top heavy the couldn't stand up.

Looking nice buddy well done! My zkittles just wouldn’t get big just squat, but that’s just the way it goes with autoflower as I have found out! Sometimes monsters sometimes short squats

Funny enough I just bought some. Thinking of running it outdoors this summer.
yeah, me too.
I'm also contemplating something I did a few years back with photos, where I had some pollen and pollinated a branch each on several plants for seeds. In this case, I'd reverse one plant in the garage, and then hit up the branches in the garden. The biggest choice is picking the pollen donor, and Cindy Jack is up there on the list. But that's a whole other conversation. I was thinking about making a communal Outdoor Auto thread, could be fun. I might even buckle up and do it in the Outdoor section.

All autoflower, not doing photos again as the weather gets really crap just as the buds start to fill out.
That's why I'm all auto for my outdoor. Since autos still get the occasional trolls I'm on the fence about doing an outdoor thread in the general section. There's usually a regular "Oregon Outdoor" thread each year which I'll chime in on from time to time. I'll post in late September to give dry weights for my harvest, while the photo guys are all talking about what they're doing to keep their plants dry and how much bud rot they are cutting off. Been there, done that, not doing that again.

I lost 2 x 8ft plants to bud rott when I first did it , blue dream and green crack
Yeah, that sucks. There were a lot of hard lessons along the way. The first year I tried to grow some Sativas! They rotted out without even coming close to maturing. Others would be on the cusp of finishing. I worked with a bunch of hoop houses, fans, one year I even put a 600w HPS inside the hoop house because the weather went full overcast for the last couple of weeks. The only real options are light dep, a climate controlled greenhouse with supplemental light, or autos. If I needed several pounds for some reason, I'd have to go with one of the first two, but I don't, so autos work fine.

This year my brother is going to grow some for me and I'm also giving some to a friend, they both have significantly more direct sunlight than I do so it will be interesting to see how much denser the buds get with 50% more sunlight.

Sorry if I missed it everyone, but I just ordered zkittles auto seeds, and wondering whether to run veg or bloom lights throughout the grow? Thanks
