Hi! I have bought me a zkittles auto, and at first it was meant just to be a windowsill grow and it seemed to thrive fine except that was bit small(i think), but i now have bought a starting indoor growing kit with a CULTILTE 75w LED and a Secret Jardin HS40... A small tent but i only want to have 1-2 plants at a time.

Now to my problem... My plant is approx. 5 Weeks and 1 Day old now from when i started germinating. It germinated fine in a Coco pellet, but i was not the one who germinated that was my Friend. When it sprouted i took it home to my windowsill. He said it took around 2-3 days for it to sprout. Germination started the 8. April.

And now since 12 may, i have put it in the tent, with the light approx. 20 from the top leaves. The light had been on and off for 12/12, and thats much more light it got from the windowsill. I have been mixing Up 2ml biobizz bio-grow with 1 liter of water and used it for the waterings since may 12 aswell. I suspect my self i have done something wrong with the waterings but idk im just a noob at this moment.

Today just the last 2-4 hours the leaves under the ones in the middle of the stem is beginning to start hanging... But the plant looks fine in the color, and also today i noticed alot of white hairs starting to come Up from the middle, so i Guess i have a female. But does my plant look healthy? Im really worried if it'll make it till harvest..

I only have a fan blowing wind throughout the tent, so circulation should be alright, i just dont have a ph counter and the active coal filter.

I Hope you are All doing well! And stay home!

You need to be giving it 18 hours of light.

18 or more hours of light.

And it is already flowering, its not going to get very big or yield much. What breeder the zkittles come from? I am super disappointed with the Fast Buds Zkittles. It was GARBAGE.

The breeder is fastbuds yes. Well since it is my first grow, im really happy with just a small yield. I have also bought a Quick one, green gelato(not auto), Royal gorilla and a Critical Fem(not auto)from Royal, and 2x cookies auto from dinafem.

Since it had started flowering already, could i chance to a 12/12 cycle now? Or maybe wait 5-7 days and keep giving the same nutes? Or is it pointless with nutes now and just let it do its own thing

Autos like at least 18 hours their whole life. Are you growing in dirt?

Personally I think the fast buds zkittles is garbage. I would throw it away and start something better. It was a smaller yielder but the quality was the big issue. Not potent. Didnt taste good.

I actually dont know the brand of the soil, i just know that it is mixed with some coco.. and the top layer is my own biobizz light mix soil with perlites.

Okay so I Will leave it on for the night, but the leaves are beginning to hang a little bit as shown on one of the pics. I gave half a litre this morning with some of that bio grow in it. Should i be worried about that? I Will also attach a new one from the tent.

@graphiczero - I did the same - got a bunch of seeds from a friend and planted before having a light, tent - anything - just to see if they'd grow.

The plants (4) are in week 6 of flower, so yours can most likely finish out as well.
I had mine in a windowsill too - they reached hard for the sun until I received a light from a friend, then they crossed their fingers for a bit when I put them in the enclosure.
2 weeks later they recovered and grew nicely.

I can't speak to the quality of your plants - A couple post above say to pitch 'em, maybe good advice if you have other seeds. If you do not have other seeds / clones, I would say grow this one and get some experience for the next round.

For me - I decided to let mine grow. My goal was to go from seed to smoke - looks like it will be a success and the knowledge will be applied to the next grow (germing 4 or 5 seeds this afternoon).

Happy Farming! :bigjoint:

I started germing a Royal Quick One auto, but i have more seeds tho. I Will definently watch it grow out and then later harvest. She seems to be stretching more now, and her middle leaves have come a bit more Up since yesterday, so i Will wait with patience. :D
