Hi there! Welcome! Okay, I have scrolled all 120 posts. Your problem is clearly overwatering and generally too much fussing. Mostly you need to leave them alone!!! I know its hard, but you dont need to be constantly doing something to them. Step waaaaay back from the watering can. Promix is a tricky medium to learn to water properly. Your plants should never be wet. This is your number one problem here! Keep going eventually you’ll get the hang of watering properly. Maybe try soil on your next run. Its much more forgiving.

Hey brother! How did the rest of your grow turn out? Is the Frankenstein plant still alive? That wedding cake strain is popular at the medical clinics here in Midwest Illinois. Have you popped any beans? What’s happening?

yup I would agree especially when germenating dampening off is real and will get you everytime I personally love my promix but it does take a bit to get the hang of itfor one it doesnt like to absorb water if it is totally dried out so you gotta go slow but best of luck and keep at it

Lol. Shoot I’m prolly 3 to 4 hours from benton. I never traveled to the southern part of the state. I’m 5 hours south of Chicago and been there once and that’s it

The Frankenstein plant did live I just chopped all 3 last week!! They’re finishing up on drying and then into the mason jars after that. The smell is very sweet and you could smell it throughout my 2 story house when my tent is open (way in the basement)!! I’m anticipating some really good smoke!

I haven’t started the next round yet as I’m using my tent for drying right now. As soon as I take these down I’m hanging my light back up and getting the next grow started! I’ll keep you posted.

yo it’s not “hard” you can’t really trust anyone evēn the folks you can trust can’t really be trusted it sucks but the Man doesn’t play fair ever sooooo I try not to either anyway that mutation I have seen it myself so I am indoors with autos and sometimes I will stick a few in my garden I don’t remember what strain I wonder if it’s a ruderallis thing I have seen it a few times 1 or 2 and thought it kind of looked like some crazy fox tailing

That looks like a reveg, which isnt supposed to happen with autos. But if the breeder used the real zkittlez, which is a photo, then it is possible that photo trait still is lingering. I’m interested to hear more about the ILGM zkittlez, I plan to grow some and want to know how they compare to other autos, like fastbuds. Your pics look good and Ive read some other threads on ILGM zkittlez autos. I plan to breed the zkittlez auto specifically for outdoor summer solstice/early July harvesting.

unfortunate

That’s what I was thinking. Any anomalous genetics are worth saving, for the novelty alone. The effects could be just as strange as the structure.
