Decided to test my luck with an outdoor grow this year since we’re allowed 4 plants - I decided 3 outdoor so I can keep one in the Grobo.
First, the seeds:
https://www.canukseeds.com/zkittlez-feminized-seeds-canuk-seeds-elite-strain
2020-04-20 : Started germination with a dome at 78F
All three sprouted on 3rd day. Moved into a tent with a light after 10 days.
2020-05-09 : Off to a good start.
2020-05-17 : Growing fast in the felt pots
2020-05-21 : Nice growth
2020-06-05 : Looking sad, starving, outgrown the small felt pots. Still too cold outside
2020-06-10: Transplant to 20gal felt pots, trimmed off lots of dead leaves, maybe started too early or should have brought them out earlier, not sure, was cold though.
2020-06-25: Recovering well from transplant
2020-06-30: Beer can for scale
2020-08-02: Lots of growth through July. Didn’t take many pictures in July.
2020-08-16: Nice trunks
2020-08-27: No room for these monsters
The closest one in the last pic fell in the pool during some wind - the whole top half snapped off trying to get it out of the pool. The bottom half is recovering just fine now. One of the other ones split the two main top branches for the two main colas in another different wind storm, that one I duct taped successfully back together and its doing fine. They’ve also been blown down a few times now they’re so top heavy so I tied them to the fence, it’s a big obstacle course now. The one that fell in the pool was the THC bomb i think, based on the size of the buds on whats left of it. The cluster bomb is going to finish first, and seems like the zkittlez will finish last.
I’ll add a few september pics soonish
