RQS Royal Cheese auto Rd 2

A great week these girls have been topped and are on there way. Next step this week will be some LST to set these 3 girls up for flower. All in 2 gallon pots from seed. Couple weeks in and they are very happy girls. Thanks and stay tuned (Photo included is a royal cheese auto on I think day 66 with around 1 week to go) the stickiest plant IV had yet. Nutrition was def a factor this round. They loved the liquid Kool bloom & Humboldt sweet & sticky!

A good week. All have been topped, lst'ed and are working there way closer to auto flip to flower in the next week or so. As usual, these are all very small grower's which is exactly what I continued to hope for. Very consistent seeds in these rqs royal cheese autos. All small, all very good phenos. Beginning to up the feed this week from 2.5 to 5ml of grow. The rest will stay the same until next week. Stay tuned for these awesome little ladies! Sneak peak added of another Royal cheese almost finished!

Very good week no issues. Gave them a last hit of grow nutrients before I flush at the end of this week before switching to flowering nutrients. Iv read into this and I think this is something I should try. I will only be doing nutrients 1x per 7-8 days. Only water between. Iv been getting to much salt built up in previous grows and I will stay ahead of this issue this round. These are in pre flower mode now and begging to stretch a little. They won't grow a bunch in the next 1-2 weeks but they will grow some so very simple steps ahead. Today 12/1 I am chopping a finished royal cheese auto with no diary. I'll update some results along the way. It's absolutely insane smelling and so much sticky resin. The silica/liq Kool bloom and Humboldt sweet & sticky I think were a great addition to my program. Stay tuned!

A great week. Some defoliation done. They are fully into flower now. They barely received any grow nutrients along the way. I flushed lightly this week so I can introduce bloom nutrients soon. These are doing well. Update in the last completed royal cheese auto. It's chopped. Absolutely incredible. The trichome coverage is above average. It is the stickiest and stinkiest I have grown yet. The buds are very small compact buds. Some bit so dense but the rest will cure to a tight compact feel. I really can't believe the smell and bag appeal on these. Wow. It's a small plant but damn does it grow healthy and have a ton of terpenes in the phenos I have found. Stay tuned I'll give updates on this final results after some cure time. Stay tuned as well as I keep these 3 girls rolling into flower!

A bit behind. Things have gone well. Short update and I'll update again tomorrow to catch up. Stay tuned

These past few weeks have been smooth. Just some trimming and just letting these do there thing. The largest of the 3 just wants to sag daily. Extra stretchy and tall compared to any other royal cheese auto I have grown. So, I may see a new pheno!?! We will see. Not much to add. Just keeping these wet and lit. You know the drill. Checking ppm of run off more thoroughly and watering more in between nutrients. Stay tuned

I'm a week behind I'll re update shortly with more detail but things are going well. Stay tuned

Really good week. Allowing the plants to talk to me before I feed, etc. Much better run off ppm than ever. I in fact believe I have always had a salt build up issue causing later flower nutrient lock out and I'm hoping this time around it's avoided. Feeding only about once a week with water only in between. Run off ppm was last 1300-1400. (Today run off was 777!!!) Got it down used to think I had bad meters before but In previous soil grows my ppm in flower was stuck in the 2200-2400 range until I realized what was going on and it was hard to flush those numbers down. Took till the 3rd flush 10 days apart on flushed and got it under 2000 so I had serious build up!?! I have learned and now understand what is happening. I even flushed before flower to introduce new nutrients. Really hoping these do better than ever. 1 is very small and leaf to bud ratio is terrible. Coloring already though. #1 plant is def cool still. #2 is much more like previous and I expect I great pheno.The #3 had the best node spacing iv seen yet in a pheno. Development is slower and maybe slightly smaller but could be due to being further behind in growth than the others. Either way excited to see what pheno I find in that. I love royal cheese. Very exceptional grower for being small. Happy, healthy plants. Stay tuned.

This has been a good week but once again my soil growing starts to go down hill for most in mid flower. Earlier than this yellowing should happen. 3 identical strains. 3 sizes. Small medium and larger we will say and the small has the most green, less on the medium and even more yellowing overall on the larger plant. Ppm run off is between 750-1100 Everytime I put water/solution in them. PH of runoff is also nearly identical to what I am putting in. There has not been salt build up or any issues because of my flushing and maintenance. So, this being said, I will be increasing the feeding come flower time in the future. For the remainder of this grow I am going to feed this larger plant more often. Growing in 2 gallons or less is very tricky it seems like u actually need to feed more often than not versus a bigger pot where u would want to do nutrients then water 1 or 2 times then back to nutrients to basically only feed them around once a week but these small pots I think need more help. I'm going to do my best to get these to finish strong and give me that same fire iv got before from this royal cheese auto seed. Stay tuned

A decent week no issues continuing as normal. Buds are hardening. Super sweet smelling like candy. These are on day 85 so these are much later to finish than previous royal cheese autos. I'm not as satisfied this time around with what I'm seeing but hoping they finish nice. #1 is so leafy I may just use it for ice water hash. I'd like to see #3 thicken up asap and #2 is actually doing as I expect and looking like I expected. Stay tuned

Good week that have really put on the frost in the past week. Flush is going well. These will probably get cuff off on Friday and chopped on Sunday if my timing goes well. Maybe a few extra days if needed. *Even #3 which looks less frosted is actually very sticky and stanky still. I guess it has a chance after all. #2 is the one I was looking for and #1 is the frostiest and craziest smelling but is literally mostly all leaf! This will be my last auto flower run for a long time I imagine. These have been fun but will be moving on. Quality had peaked for these girls. Very easy to grow and need little nutrients. Very happy with them otherwise. Stay tuned for finish!

These have been flushed nearly 2 weeks. I can't see much more peak in maturity at this point. These have been cut down after a dark period on 2/5/22. Trichomes haven't really changed to much in the last few days except an exceptional increase overall. Turned the light power down the last nearly 2 weeks from 100 to 80% this seems to help. Trichomes are mostly all in the fully cloudy state, some Amber around but a low percentage. I don't see these appreciating more time this time around. I have seen a pheno of this strain not develop true Amber degrading and actually show a yellowish/gold change. This tells me a pheno may not really ever Amber much and that fully milky is complete. I will say, the tallest plant that has nice color but not the type of depth and large sized trichomes I would appreciate, actually smells very impressively strong and may be better than I think. It is the plant that won't really provide much Amber. More proof, for myself at least that less Amber is likely to be most potent in flavor/aroma. Terpenes are at there peak. Although other benefits can come from Amber, it is not necessary for quality flower. I am less satisfied with this particular royal cheese grow than previous 2 grows (1 wasn't documented via diary) I have had really nice flower in past runs but 1 of these plants is terrible 92%(honestly not to over exaggerated) leaf to bud ratio but it's the most sweetest smelling and purpled out plant! Very disappointed with it although It was fun to grow and it enjoyed life. -the tallest plant is going to be ok, decent node spacing for once and actual height but just was a yellow plant to fast with very healthy run off and pH status and fed safely, organically for the most part and just unsure. Maybe needed "more" for once as I didn't feed it to many times overall. *Plant #2 middle in size. This is the one folks. I'm telling you from my first diary this is the plant. The bud structure, the smell, the look... everything. It's the one that you want to find. Iv had the pleasure of meeting her sister and she was amazing. Found her way to RQS page. Absolutely magnificent. Picture perfect cheese! So very happy. Thank you RQS. This one is excellent to find. My future, for a while may be done with auto flowers for now but only to continue to learn and enjoy other styles and cultivores. RQS wedding Gelato, as soon as I am able to find it accessible to myself, I want it! Until then I'll do with what I'm able to get. Stay tuned, drying in process. More to report ahead.

Again, these did as expected. Short, sweet and decent yeild for it's size. I ended up with 57 grams from 3 smalls 2 gallon pots in a 2x2 tent under 1sf1000 led light. Very very sweet smelling grow again. Like candy. These yellowed earlier due to low humidity and higher canopy temps. The ratio was to far off. Soil pH and ppm of the run off was magnificent this round. Very controlled for once so I know that was not my issue. These are also light eaters they don't need much. Highly resistant to mold. Cold temps do not bother them. They did appreciate the silica imo. The extra silica and potash in flower has really been a benefit. Run the silica during veg as well. Very easy to grow from Royal queen seeds. They have a nice easy, small space plant with this one. Alot of beginners would benefit from this autoflower especially if they like sweet cheesy terpenes that you can enjoy all day. Very focused on this strain after it sets in. This is a wrap Thank you grow diaries and rqs for this round of Royal cheese autoflowers!
