Indoor no-till experiment: the permajournal

[scylents]

Back from vacation post! All I can say is that these plants are crazy resilient.

First the Zkittlez who are starting to make me pretty happy. I underestimated them a bit I think…

For both zkittlez
4 day germ for both plants
21 day seedling for both as well
15 day veg
34 days flower as of today

Added some microscope pics today as they are cooking nicely. Maybe another week or two, but I’ll keep an eye on them. They got 1.5l each, touch of molasses cuz it tickled my fancy.

Here is the true surprise and fun after a week away…

They absolutely exploded back onto the scene!! I went a bit crazy trimming, and I’m hoping I won’t regret that…

I had to cut a few potential bud sites back off from Trudy to keep them from growing into each other.

I put in 4l of the same water with the fancy tickling molasses.

Fingers crossed for some praying ladies tomorrow morning!!

Gerty (in Front):
5 day germ
24 day seedling
18 days veg today

Trudy (in the back)
4 day germ
25 day seedling
19 days veg

Had a look in this morning and they are definitely reaching for the sky…

I’ll give them a week or two to recover and flip them when the Zkittlez are ready for harvest.

Good learning on training. Gerty (front) is way too wide open at the moment and the soil is fully exposed to the light. Trudy on the hand is almost exactly what I wanted. Super pleased with her.

Also found some purple in one of the Zkittlez leaves… not gonna lie… seeing color was a big reason I bought those seeds.

well done…looking awe…

@scylents
I just found this journal of yours, Looking like you have really stepped up from your last one. Looking great!! I bought 20 zkittlez when they first released them on ILGM but have not grown any yet, started a few for a friend to grow but now I am getting ready do drop a few for myself. I am really looking forward to trying that strain.

[scylents]

Thanks man!! I definitely threw a lot more time and money at them this go, so I hope so!!

Feeling much more confident with them too…

[Cannabian]

Looking pretty good me likey long time!

[scylents]

The Saturday to Tuesday trim report…
Gotta love the recovery…
Great plants so far, I hope they flower as well as they are vegging!!

Training and trim is so much easier when you’re not afraid of it…

And I’m very happy to report that one of the Zkittlez plants is no longer capable of supporting herself. I didn’t expect that…

I’ll do a status and microscope check up tomorrow or Thursday.

[scylents]

Thanks man!! And thanks for stopping by my growmie.

[monkman]

great looking buds bud!

[Cannabian]

I just took off another huge assed pile of massive buds!
Some had some rot sadly… but we did get lots of good stuff!

[scylents]

Gerty (in Front):
5 day germ
24 day seedling
22 days veg today

Trudy (in the back)
4 day germ
25 day seedling
23 days veg

Three weeks veg had given me a great window for training and of if they don’t flip soon they’ll be monsters!! (Is that a bad thing?)

Just putting the note here to help judge the decision on the Zkittlez. Microscope pics forthcoming.

[scylents]

@Breezy that may be the fastest like in the history of likes…

[Breezy]

Haha I was reading your thread when you posted it!

@scylents

one of the Zkittlez plants is no longer capable of supporting herself.

Starting a go fund me for all the bud branches that get to big for their britches…
Called Bras for buds…haha

[scylents]

Laughed out loud at that one!! Well played sir.

[scylents]

For both zkittlez
4 day germ for both plants
21 day seedling for both as well
15 day veg
34 days flower as of today

Lost track of which is which, but the two plants:

Conclusion is that I’m way ahead of myself… these girls have a while before I chop them.

So… the full tent is on 12/12 now to get the Durban’s in flower mode.

Happy with the grow cycle so far…

Everybody got a 1.5l straight water.

scylents-
The first set of pictures are great. I think those are about ready when you are. Lots of milky trich’s and I saw some amber ones too. You know what you want from your plants, so you’ll chop them when they show you what your looking for. Great job!!! Peace…

[scylents]

For sure, I want sleep medicine from the Zkittlez. I want heavy amber all the way around. I’ll start trimming away fan leaves bit by bit through this week … swamped with work so I’m patient right now.

@scylents

I’ll start trimming away fan leaves bit by bit through this week

The fan leaves are nutrient warehouses for the plant. If you remove them than you also remove the option of the plant to reallocate nutrients to other parts of the plant where it’s needed. Of course if they are covering bud sites from light or leaf on top of leaf which can hold moisture and cause mold remove them but if not I personally wouldn’t.
Not sure which plant you were referring to so if one in veg they will be replaced if in late flower and you still have more time till harvest I would leave them as is.
My thoughts up to you
