~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ 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.

I'm beginning to flush the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto now giving it straight well water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 70-72℉ and turning her pot 1/4 turn daily. 1/19- The Zkittlez Auto was watered until runoff yesterday with well water that's ph'd to 6.5 @ 70℉ and her pot was turned. This lady is looking absolutely AMAZING now with HUGH colas that are super frosty! 1/21- I didn't water yesterday, today I realized that because our RH has dropped into the 30's that she'd dry out faster, and today she was wilting 😶. I'm not too concerned as the stress will do nothing but force her to up her trichome production. I went ahead and flooded her pot until I had a good runoff with well water that's ph'd to 6.6 @ 71℉ and gave her pot a turn. Four hours later when I checked on her, she had already perked back up and looked much better! Her fade is coming on strong now and I anticipate placing her in the dark for 72 hours within 4-5 more days, after which she'll be ready to hang to dry! 1/23- I gave the Zkittlez Auto a healthy flush today with well water that I ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ and turned her pot. Her trichomes are 80% milky now and I anticipate her being ready anytime so I've been checking her trichomes daily to hit that 'sweet spot' if possible. Well, eight weeks of flowering on the books and this beauty is just about done! The Seedsman Zkittlez Auto will be finished up in the next couple of days and then will go 'dark' for 72 hours before I hang her to begin the drying/curing process! See you next week fam! 😎👍 ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! 💚What you grow - Grow what you💚
