Hi HashgirlCongrats on the new grow and journal, Carcass and Trala!! I'm thinking about growing Zkittlez next year so I'll be watching closely.
And, Ithat Trala named her Zkittlez after Olivia Newton-John.
Thanks for joining in. I did post a link in the tent.
Me too. It just fit.
Nothing much is happening yet. My biggest news, I built a shelf in my veg tent yesterday. Look “built” is prolly an oversell. I balanced a piece of wood on two vases.Little late, but Im in T and C,
Lol
How about an Update from the USA side of this journal?
Here's the little Zkittlez fem @ 15 days old:
2.5" tall- I consider that "just right" at her age...
She's got a bumpy leaf thing happening- I'm hoping she outgrows whatever it is...
it resembles overwatering, but she's not overwatered....we'll just have to wait and see what happens...
One more look, and that about wraps it up for today!
Thank You for looking....
I'll do another update when I transplant her in a few days!

Good morning C Sparkles 
She looks so lovely. I can’t get over her growth. That is the first noticeable difference. My zkittles still only has her two milk teeth lol. Proves better light, better growth.
I’ll do an update when I finish work. Your Monday will be my Tuesday.

I was sorta hoping she'd be a slow starter, but she seems to have other ideas...

An Australian Update.
First off, AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
(You guys need to yell back Oiii! Oiii! Oiii!)
Happy northern hemisphere Monday. I’m at 4pm into Tuesday, I hope this update scrapes in on time.
Well as many of you know I’m a Queenslander. And we pride ourselves on big. Sadly Olivia missed the memo.
At only 5 days younger than Carcasses girl you can already see a very noticeable difference in growth and size. While Carcasses baby has moved on to solids, mine is still stuck firmly on the tit. I think there are a number of contributing factors, but the main two being my old Mars Hydro TS 1000 veg light, and the fact it is still winter and the days can be chilly.
She is a nice green and I have no doubt she will embrace the warmer spring weather.
As you can see my veg tent is a little too crowded. I’m hoping the large plant in front which is an Acapulco Gold will be ready for flip Sunday. This will free up some room and allow my Zkittles, or Olivia as I call her, a better light position.

Thank you
Baby pics aren’t the most interesting. Once they get going the real fun will begin.
Even I know this one.
It’s USA! USA! USA!
I'll update on Mondays from now on, but the other day, I said:
( for a quickie little transplant Update!....
)
The @Weed Seeds Express Zkittlez is doing pretty good- 18 days old now, 3 inches tall, and I figured it's time to up-pot...
I mixed 8 tsp. of Grow Dots into the promix just before transplant- the directions call for 9, but there's already 1 tsp. in the solo cup...
I shouldn't need to add anything else for the rest of the grow, although I will add a little Real Growers Recharge to her water, every couple of weeks..
She's a "leaner" so I found this little pig for her to lean on.........oink!
Almost ready to top, but not quite...Her leaves are still "bumpy" but they seem to be smoothing out as she grows...we'll see...
She's a little droopy after transplant, hopefully, that won't last long...I'm going to keep the light turned down (60w) till she starts to perk back up..
Here's a little info on the Grow Dots- @Grand Daddy Black has had good luck with them, so I want to see how they do for me...They're pretty affordable,too- Apx. $7.00 per bag...
And that's about all for today,
Thanks for looking, we appreciate the support!...
So it's that time!

Oink! Nice new home for your plantlet Carcass. I'm fascinated by these grow dots. Please will you show us some dot material at some point if possible. I'd like to see what they look like. I am guessing this goes into ordinary potting soil, is that correct?I'll update on Mondays from now on, but the other day, I said:

Good afternoon C Scape
She is a really beautiful shade of green, and her growth is really astounding in comparison. Like she’s a head and shoulders above Olivia. Just proves the environment plays a huge role in growing.

Hi, Carmen- I can do that! I'll post what info I've got for the Dots, and Real Growers Recharge, which kinda goes with the Dots..
Here's a look at the actual product- just a bunch of little multi colored balls, and some things that look like little pebbles...
And here's a little info: I usually let the soil "cook" for a few weeks before the plant goes in, but you don't want to do that with the Dots, because their clock starts ticking as soon as they go into the soil...
And this stuff, which is recommended to go with the Dots: (it looks like fine dark brown powder)
Some info:
And here's a link to @Grand Daddy Black 's journal- He's the brave soul that tried them first
- this is where I learned about the Dots...Grand Daddy Black Grows A Stack
$2.65 per plant...even a cheapskate like me can afford that! And 3 plants is a long time in the box... I'm gonna have to give them a try! Did you get them on a-zon?
www.420magazine.com
The Downside: It seems that the Dots may start to run out of gas (nitrogen) toward the end, so I'm prepared to deal with that when the time comes.
But Olivia is also 5 days younger than mine- she'll get caught up in no time!
How interesting! Thanks for showing all of that info Carcass. Slow release nutes sound very efficient and the Recharge looks to be microbes right? I remember that GDB used them successfully.

Hi Guys
It’s the Southern Hemisphere’s Monday update. It’s just after 5pm in Australia
My Zkittles is 16 Days old and is 10cm which is 4 inches. While her growth has been okay, her colour is not. If she were human you’d think anaemia. She enjoyed a day in the rain on Saturday and she got quite the soaking and I think that stripped her of the light Tega Brop *taps nose* feed shes been getting. But tbh she’s always been light on green. I don’t start my seeds on my little ball nutes till next uppot.
A bit of a funny. I got a PM from Deeve coz he spotted the terrible colour straight away, (which tbh is unusual for me as my plants as a rule are a good green) and I’m paraphrasing here but he said something like:-
Tra: Everybody! Come watch me grow a Zkittles with Carcass! Watch the wonder unfold from the beginning!
My Zkittles:
Omg I found it so funny, coz it’s true!
Here she is, and if she stands alone you can be mistaken into thinking she’s not that bad.
It’s not until you have a healthy leaf as a direct comparison do you see exactly how light on green she is. And I know you can have healthy lime green plants. Olivia is not an example of this.
I’m just going to watch her for now. If there is no improvement by Wednesday I’ll be chasing advice.
It’s super interesting how two seeds that are siblings are growing so differently. Like Carcasses growth is so far ahead of mine. It really is a great endorsement for the light he’s using. @Carcass , what light are you using?
So that’s where I’m at.
Your move C Biscuit.
