Xi_Ve Welcome!
This is my 2nd grow, the first one had a lot of issuses like overfeeding, heat, low moisture etc.
All seeds from my first grow are Autos from RQS. The plants survived so much with me and still gave me some nice buds, so I had to do a redemption grow - with another set of autos from RQS!
Next time I'll try feminized seeds, but let's see what these autos can do!
Germination started in a paper towel, 08/09. I decided to go with 9 plants this time, just to make sure I have a nice harvest.
On 10/09, all taproots came out, so I decided to plant them in the soil. When planting, some shells came off, but I ignored it and continued. When planted, I put transparent plastic cups with holes in them over the soil, just to keep the moisture higher. Gave them Voodoo juice with 6.5PH water, just sprinkled around 0.5L on all of them (0.5L total)
During the next 2 days, I gave them piranha with 6.5PH water, also 0.5L, just by sprinkling. on 12/09, 5 of them came out, on 13/09, 3 more. Gelato #2 was struggling, but she came out today, 14/09 with a shell on her. I removed the shell and leaves are starting to open :)
On this grow, I will be careful with feeding the girls, since I have good soil (TerraMagma).
I removed the plastic cups, and turned on the fans just to blow on the girls, maybe I could use some help here - Should i just keep the big fan turned on facing under the light, or should I also turn on the clips on low power to blow over the girls? I think of keeping them off because of moisture.
Light on 40%, 70cm. 20h on, 4h off.
Temp 25-27c
Humidity 40-50%
Starting the first week of veg!
Also, I gotta put in a good word for RQS. 19 seeds so far - 19 germinated and sprouted!

If it is week 1 of veg then a small fan on low power, just enough to move the leaves a little bit. Later on - both bad boys on. Big fan on the top, small one on the bottom. Good luck!

Xi_Ve Ending week 1 today!
I am satisfied with how the girls are growing.
Quick summary by days:
note: amount of water is on ALL plants, not just 1
13/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
14/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
15/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,3L)
16/9 Since I didn't water my soil when I was planting the seeds, I grabbed some more soil, put it on top just to help with stretching, and then I decided to do a full watering just to get the soil wet.
I grabbed my pressure pump, put in 1,5L of 6.5PH water, voodoo juice + piranha 2ml/L and watered all 9 of them with 1.5L (misting with the pressure pump - I think I will continue to do the waterings like this because it's so easy!)
17/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
I've seen a fungus gnat, so I put up more yellow sticky traps.
18/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
19/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
Caught 4 fungus gnats for now, I hope the bastards didn't lay their eggs. Keeping the vents on.
Temperature this weeks was 24-27, moisture 50-70, average 60.
Mimosa #2 a bit yellowish, keeping an eye on her, hope it's nothing serious.
Everything else is fine, going into week 2! I still won't give them any NPK, just voodoo + piranha + b52 in week 2. Maybe i put carboload or bud candy just to feed the bacteria and the fungus in piranha and voodoo juice, any thoughts on that? I think I will introduce Micro+Grow+Bloom 0,5ml/L in the third week.
Also, there are some white spots on the leaves. I think it could be chlorine? Im watering with tap water, letting it sit for around 12 hours before adjusting PH and watering. Maybe I will let it sit for more this week.
See ya in 7 days, if there aren't any more problems meantime haha

Should I add carboload or bud candy in week 2 of veg if I am using Piranha and Voodoo juice to feed the bacteria/fungus?

Papa_Tanswered grow question 5y ago
The bud candy is more for blooming and flower period. No no go on the bud candy.
The carbo load should be fine it helps promote root growth.
You also have to take into account what your medium already has init before adding extra nutrients.
You wanna be more nitrogen rich in the veg stage and more phosphorus and potassium for for blooming.
Iβm sure advanced nutrients have charts on their website with recommended dosage for the proper life stage.
Good luck with your grow friend. π€
Xi_Vestarted grow question 5y ago
Should I be worried about the white spots on some leaves? I think it could be chlorine, I let my water sit for atleast 12 hours before adjusting ph and watering/misting. Maybe I should let it sit out longer?

MrStinkyanswered grow question 5y ago
It looks like it is sitting on the leaf rather than being created from within, does the white stuff come off with a gentle tub?
If you have hard water and have been misting it may well just be residue from where water has dried - if you are going to continue spraying do it just before lights out to avoid burning the plant.
Xi_Vestarted grow question 5y ago
I can't see any growth in the last few days on Mimosa #2. First 2 pictures are 16/9, Mimosa #2 is in the bottom left corner. Next 2 pictures are today, 22/9. On the last pic is Mimosa#1 22/9 just for the comparation. Should I try doing something or just end her life?

I asked a similar question about a mutant plant a few months back - the community answer was a massive 'let it grow'
It was weird shaped, it popped with a seed helmet head, it grew slower, flowered slower. But it also got fucking massive and was a great learning experience.
Give it a few weeks and if it is shit, bin it, but always give them the benefit of the doubt unless it is completely mangled - the weird ones might just surprise you.

(25/9( (8 days passed since last watering), only misted them and the soil a bit daily, when the humidity was lower. 2L of water on all plants together in the last watering.

Xi_Ve This week I didn't have any time to take care of the girls, they just got a bit of nutes because I didn't even have the time to correct the PH of the water, so I kinda used that ph perfect technology π The girls really held up nicely, some of them stretched alot and I didn't do anything, so they are kinda limpy. Added some soil and did LST last day of the week. Next week I think I'm skipping MGB, mybe just some vitamins and cal-mag to finish growth, then gonna start on the nutes when they go into flower. I really hope they grow a bit more so i can fill up the tent nicely, I'm counting on LST to do the trick.
P.S. RIP Mimosa#2 Never forget <3 Transplanted her in a small pot but didn't help.
Her sister Mimosa#1 looks real nice at least
See ya in a week!

Xi_Ve This week was a lot going on!
The girls started to flower... The ones in the pouches stayed small because I think they didn't get enough water.
I'm gonna take care of that from now on, so there is still hope they grow more in the next 2 weeks. Stopped with B52 at the beginning of the week.
Just did LST and Leaf-Tucking dail. They are responding well to training but the temperatures are getting colder so I'm gonna have to find a way to keep them above 20C during the 4 hours lights-off time.
Maybe i also find something to get them off the ground. Light is at approx. 80cm, 240W since the beginning of the week. Gonna lower it when they grow some more leaves. Saving the 300W for flowering.
Also, I misted once with Cal-Mag this week, just to help the grow.
That's pretty much it for this week, I hope they grow more because there is plenty of space in the tent.
Thank you for checking out my diary for this week, there are a lot of images and also one video so if you have time check them out and feel free to ask any question/give me a suggestion since this is my 2nd grow, the first one wasn't that much successful.
Peace out

Xi_Ve Hello my friends! :D
Today ends week 5, and I'm counting the end of week 1 of flowering. Maybe it's a bit more for some, but I'll take it.
Lamp is 100% power from week 5, 60cm average.
This week was just training, watered once with pure water and then second watering gave the nutes written above. The big ones didn't get the nutes still, I'll water them tomorrow but I will prolly throw out Big Bud for another week for them. Also, I had some soil problems, it got really hard in the small pouches , I'm not sure whats happening in the big ones, I will check on that tomorrow. My waterings were not often enough and the soil got hard. I kinda kicked the soil and squeezed around with my hands yesterday while watering, and it seems I didn't cause any serious stress to them. Atleast the soil is softer now π
Also, I removed the ScrOG from the two small ones, didn't have much sense.
Could be better, but im satisfied for now, no major problems, just some fungus gnats so I upped the clip fans to max power
That's pretty much it, you got the pics above. See ya next week my friends! :)

Xi_Ve Stretch didn't go as planned, unfortunately the girls stayed small, probably due to lack of water... I think I was underwatering them when they needed water the most... They all look fine, had some troubles with the small ones but it was just lack of water also. I will water with atleast 10% runoff from now on to avoid these problems. Nutrients are written above, gonna increase them if everything is fine next week. Gotta go with the photoperiods next time, I think I still don't have the experience for autoflowers. See ya next week

Xi_Ve End of week 7. I'm getting frustrated, I deal with a problem, another one comes. The girls started drinking water/nutrients really nicely, then Fat Banana#1 and #2 popped out 1 ballsack each. I removed it, then the next day I find a BURSTED sack on Fat Banana#1. If everything is pollinated, I'll get alot of seeds and that really sucks. I will just try to push this grow to the end, they should be done in a month cca. I just hope everything is going to be fine, gonna keep removing ballsacks if they show up and try to finish this grow. Next time I gotta go with photoperiods, I can't believe both bananas went hermie, and no other strain did!
Everything else is fine, buds thickening up and plants looking healthy...
See ya next week, I hope

I found a sack on 2 of my plants, removed it then the next day I find a bursted sack on Fat Banana#1. Is everything pollinated? And also, can anyone check on the 2nd and 3rd pic, is that a calyx or is it a ballsack?
I'm checking my plants every day and removing sacks.

Third pic looks like a calyx but you could pluck the sacs off before they open and if you are very deligent you could be alright. But it's going t be a battle friend. Sometimes the pollen sacs can shoot blanks but if you see pollen then I'd be worried

Xi_Ve I haven't seen any more sacks/bananas this weeks, also the flowers look fine, they are still forming and lookin real nice! May have some seeds but I hope it won't be too big of a problem. The smells are awesome, all of the aromas are in the tent. Since it is getting colder, and humidity is going up, my waterings are around 6 days apart. So I am planning to feed them once or twice more, then flush for the last 2 weeks. See ya!

Looks like a slight lack of calcium from your feeds. If you add some now it shouldn't get much worse. Just make sure the product you use has to much nitrogen in it as your flowering and don't want to be adding nitrogen.

Xi_Ve This week 1 more open pollen sack. This time on Banana #2. So for now, I found 1 open and 1 closed sack on Fat Banana #1, and 1 open and 1 closed on Fat Banana #2. I can't believe this strain -.- but it still looks nice.
Fed the girls one last time, from now on most of them are on pure water. Maybe I feed Fat Banana #2 and Green Gelatos once more. Small pots drinking 3 L of water every 5-6 days, Big pots around 4.5L every 5-6 days.
This week the temperatures have fallen down, so I brough a 250W hps just to keep the heat inside the tent. Also it got some red spectrum, so it's nice :) Defoliated a bit, just to get the light on the buds. Thank you all for the advice with the gorilla deficiencies, but I just fed her like the rest this week since she's close to finishing.
Trying to push this grow to the end, wish me luck!

Xi_Ve Gonna cut Gorilla #2 as soon as the earth dries. Gorilla #1 1 more watering. All other 2 more waterings, I can't keep them longer unfortunately, so I'm gonna cut em all down in the next 2 weeks.
Photos speak for themselves.... There were some errors around waterings and the results can be seen now, also I was really unlucky and got 2 hermie autoflowers so they pollinated some buds, but must of them look fine. Also I can see some foxtailing, I don't think it's because of the light, myb it's from the HPS I've put in. But it's only working on 250W, so I have no clue...
P.S. Pics were taken before watering.

Really strong, potent, resistant plant. Dense and big buds. Had a mold problem in the main cola so that is why disease resistance is neutral, everything else was fine. Color, texture, and the looks of the colas are awesome. Still didn't cure it enough, needs to stay in jars a bit longer but I harvested it just in time, the high isn't couch locking, makes you relax and think :) In conclusion, RQS did a great job with this strain and I would recommend their seedbank and this particular strain!

Okay, so I planted 2 seeds of this strain. Both of the seeds went hermie and pollinated my whole grow room. I was really mad about this, but since my seeds weren't direct from RQS I couldn't be mad at them. I wrote them a message, they apologized anyways and offered me something in return. But! I let the 2 plants live and started removing pollen sacs. It was a fight, but the plants went through. One plant gave 32g, and the other one a whooping 90! And the buds don't even have much seeds in them. Big buds, thicc, a deserved 7 star.

And, the best for last. This is the queen of this grow. Her sister died early because of the strong soil, but she made it through and produced beautiful, big, smelly buds. Maybe I even switch this to a 10 after some weeks of curing, we will see.

Xi_Ve Unfortunately, the smaller one just stopped growing and died. But this one made it through and when she went into flowering, she really started to thicken up. I'm really sad she got pollinated also by the bananas, because the buds would be an absolute smasher if that didn't happen.
