RQS fat banana fem

DrJones Limited to 16 hours light due to not having an extractor fan yet and temperatures have been getting too high with the tent door closed!

DrJones I think the bottom leaves started showing deficiency maybe because it needed transplanting pretty badly. Hopefully it won’t get worse, also I’ll change ph to 6.3 and see how it reacts.

DrJones Really struggling with heat this week as the country goes through a heatwave.. finally got extraction set up so was able to close the door and change to 20 hours. But it’s so warm, temps in the tent are getting too high for my comfort unless I turn the power of the light to around 50-60%! I’ve seen slightly slower growth than I hoped for, probably due to poor ventilation in early stages and slightly shorter days (16 hours) but over all I’m happy with results so far.

DrJones Managed to gain a bit of height this week after some final adjustments to the pegs. I won’t be doing any more bending or training until she passes through the scrog net I’ll be using for flower. I think I’m seeing a little bit of wind burn (please correct me if I’m wrong) on a few leaves so I’ve changed the position of my circulation fan to blow over the canopy horizontally instead of blowing directly towards the leaves and also moved it up slightly higher. I’m just using a non oscillating 6in clip on fan. I’ve been reading into air diffusers a bit and am quite interested to try one with an intake fan. Really really excited to switch to 12/12 now!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄👌

DrJones Yo yo yo! This week has been the first of 12/12. No signs of any pistils yet. Gave her a bit of a trim (defoliated) and a bit more training used before I put the scrog net in cos I needed to open up the middle for more bud sites 🤞. Next time I’ll defoliate sooner, before I start 12/12.. we all make mistakes right?! 😅 I folded the rim of the fabric pot down cos it was becoming a right ball ache to water 💦 .. Note to self - fill pot to rim next time! Happy with the progress this week and am really looking forward to seeing some sticky nugz start to form. Thanks to everyone for your support and kind words, it’s been really encouraging! Stay tuned guys and gals! 🤞💚🙏🔥

DrJones A bit of scrogging and snipping helped widen the canopy nicely this week 👌 and saw her first pre flower pistils 💚 ! Happy growing! 🍀🍀🍀

DrJones Buds are starting to form 👌 Cut back on BB Grow (half recommended dose for current stage) as a couple leaves showed clawing.. got a cheapy new tent for now so net will be going back in ASAP. That’s about it, happy growing! 🔥🔥

DrJones Reduced nutrients this week as she’s got a couple of leaves clawing and one or two burnt tips. Other than that she’s coming along nicely and starting to produce 🙌👌 All fairness to royal queen seeds, she smells 🔥🔥🔥🔥 And big up Mars hydro! For the price you can’t really ask for better in terms of PPFD 👌👌

DrJones Well.. I was a few days late feeding this week which meant she went without water for 6 days.. few yellow leaves lower down but nothing serious thankfully. 🙏 She’s starting to fatten up with resin and is smelling like gas and fruit right now :) 🍌🍌🍌💨💨🔥🔥 💨🔥👌 Over all happy with the progress and can’t wait to see this baby when she’s finished. Happy growing guys and gals 🍀🍀🍀

DrJones We’re at the end of week 6 of flower and she’s stacking it on now. All sorts of deficiencies on most of the remaining fan leaves sadly but sugar leaves are good. She is smelling BEAUTIFUL. Gonna start checking trichomes in 2 weeks and that’s about it. Happy growing! 🙌

DrJones End of week 7 of flower and I think I’ve over done the nutes a bit. A few leaves are pretty badly burned and crisp. Have had leaf issues ever since forgetting to water for a week a few weeks back! Had a few deficiencies at first then I came back a bit too strong with the feed lol.. gonna lower nutes over the next week and start flushing and checking trichomes after that. I think I’ll defo get a reduced yield unfortunately! But mistakes will be remembered and corrected for my next crack at it 👌

DrJones It’s the end of week 8! The trichomes are looking mostly milky so I think it’s time to start flushing. 👍 I’ll continue to flush until I see some ambers 👌. Sadly most leaves have been made useless due to nute burn which I now think was caused by having the light too close (about 30cm) combined with no air circulation above the canopy ( I thought 2 fans underneath would be enough.. 🙄) and too much direct wind from below… 🤷‍♂️.. anyway, her flowers are looking decent and smelling absolutely fantastic! (Like gassy skunky banana crazy shit 🍌💨🤷‍♂️🔥🔥🎄🎄🎄

DrJones Not long until the old chop chop on this

DrJones Not over the moon with the state of the leaves at this point she doesn’t seem to be fading much but while being crispy on other parts at the same time :( the buds are pretty nice and fat though on the other hand so that’s a positive!! She’s coming down next week

DrJones Here we go! Chopped and drying. 👍👍🍻
