Into week 4 ish, germinated in small 10cm pots, transferred outside to soil at 2 weeks (with some tomato's). Auto Duck has weak smell, SKCBD no smell. Going to be basic grow, outside, in soil, maybe some tomato feed, irregular watering - so far no watering for 12 days except rain. Photos have skcbd at the front and duck at the back.
Little bit of growth, quite stretched, not much branching - too shady a spot maybe?
Also something has been eating the stress killer, seems to have stopped last couple of days but I'll keep an eye on it.
Will give first dose of tomorite tomorrow.
First 4 pics are the duck, last 4 the stress killer
Watered 3 times, no rain this week. Used Tomorite at half strength for one watering. Autoduck starting to fill out, stress killer a bit behind but otherwise look OK.
Watered once this week (with nutrients), and rained once.
Autoduck doing nicely, SK a little behind but looking good. Both very much upside down Christmas trees!
Away this week, so no water for 7 days over the hottest week of the year! Don't seem to have suffered for it!
Feeding once per week, 20ml Tomorite in 4.5l of water shared between both.
Will water deeply for the next few days as no rain forecast.
Found a third plant! Had thrown the seeds I hadn't thought hadn't germinated away but one of the stress killers made it. Seems to be a bit of a bonsai, only 15 cm tall. Pics 1-3.
The auto duck is looking good, still filling out and growing more buds. Some of the larger leaves are breaking down. Normal? Pics 4-8.
The stress killer looks pretty sickly in comparison. Limited buds and very stretched out. Looks off the leaves starting to break down, go brown and cracking. Can't see any pests. Anyone got any ideas? Disease? Or is it normal as autos get to the end of their lifespan? Pics 9-13.
Coming along nicely, maybe ready to harvest next week?
Autoduck still looking much stronger than the stress killer, although both have limited branching.
Considering:
Planted in shade
Watered irregularly
Fed only Tomorite after 4 weeks
Fed only once per week
Then the low weight and look of the plant might be expected. However the auto duck growing alongside looks much better, so might say the stress killers genetics aren't as strong.
Due to my approach to growing it says an easy grow, no stress at all.
Currently drying outside under cover, will updated once dried and tasted.
Easy grow, bit of water and tomorite weekly. No significant pest or disease issues. Much stronger plant than the RQS Stress Killer, will go for Dutch Passion again next year.
Genetics must have been a little off, not the classic Ducksfoot shape leaves, but also not normal leaves either.
Keeping track of this mine are in week 6 your leaves dont look like the ducks foot they usually do which is a shame, i like the strain as its easy to grow and can be done in your garden as a gorilla grow and no family members know a thing :-) . Good luck anyway hope them pests keep away 👍
The duck is the first 3 pics, you're right certainly not a full ducks foot shape, but all the leaves are still no more than 3 lobes so still a little stealthy! Whatever had a nibble at the stress killer has moved on thankfully so won't need to treat with anything and can keep it a light touch grow.
