420DeepGrow Thank you very much to @james and the guys from Royal Queen Seeds for giving us this opportunity to showcase our knowledge. After providing us with the seeds for the contest, I was amazed by the number of gifts received. This is going to be the most complete and detailed follow-up I've done so far, I hope you enjoy my adventure 🚢. Since the pots they gave are quite large, I'm going to put 2 seedlings in the 19-liter pot and see how they develop....
I will use all the products from Royal Queen Seeds, all their fertilizers throughout the complete cycle to see the final result and follow the contest guidelines, so I can provide a final evaluation and make comparisons with other harvests.
Equipment used by stage:
GERMINATION:
🔹El Patrón Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds
🔹Trafika 120 x 120 x 200 tent
🔹EC/PH meter from Ali-Express
🔹Samsung full spectrum LED lamp 65w.
🔹1.5-liter humidifier
🔹Soil Plug from Royal Queen Seeds for good and quick germination.
🔹Water sprayer.
VEGETATIVE STAGE:
The same equipment as in germination and I add:
🔹19-liter geotextile pot from Royal Queen Seeds for good root development and therefore plant growth.
🔹Easy Boost Organic Nutrition.
🔹Easy Grow growth enhancer.
🔹Easy Plus micronutrients
🔹Light mix substrate from Atami.
During the seedling stage and until the plant has about 2 or 3 nodes, I will only apply water with corrected pH, as it takes nutrients from the seed itself and doesn't need much nutrients. A humidity of 70% and a temperature of 24°C will be maintained as constant as possible.
FLOWERING STAGE:
🔹A 200w spyder LED from Ali-Express will be added
🔹Humidity will be lowered to 45-55%
🔹The nighttime temperature will be kept below 18°C starting from week 6, while during the day it will be maintained at 24°C.

420DeepGrow During the first week 📅 and until reaching a good level of salts 🏥, only water will be applied since the substrate comes with a fairly high EC.
I’m adding a fan 🌬️ to prevent stretching and give the plants more strength 💪.
📅 Days 8,9,10,11,12,13,14: 🔹 Watering only with water and a pH of 6.2.
😡 After detecting thrips on one of the plants, I apply diatomaceous earth (10g) along with potassium soap (5cc), 1 liter of water, and a pH of 7.0, spraying the entire crop to get rid of that crap before it infests the whole grow and becomes a disaster.
I hope this remedy works. After 24 hours, the pest seems to be under control 😃😃😃, next week I will repeat the process to avoid unwanted appearances.

420DeepGrow I've decided to put 2 specimens 🌱🌱 per pot since I want to give a short vegetative period🕒. This week 📅 I will do the final transplant and add Easy Boost Organic Nutrition to the substrate so they have the necessary food 🌮🌯🍊🍖🍗 throughout the cycle.
📅 Day 15: 🔹Rest.
📅 Day 16: 🔹Transplant to final pot x 19 liters. Watering only with water, for the next watering I will apply Easy to Grow.
📅 Day 17: 🔹Applying fungicide after doubting whether I had powdery mildew or if I stained them with diatomaceous earth.
📅 Day 18: 🔹Watering with Easy to Grow for better growth and recovery from stress.
📅 Day 19: 🔹Severe defoliation of all stained leaves.
📅 Day 20: 🔹Rest.
📅 Day 21: 🔹Watering with Easy to Grow 150ml per plant.
420DeepGrow A good week, I've practiced apical cutting to control height, this is the last week in the vegetative state and soon I'll switch to 12/12. I have to say they improved since I started watering from the bottom, in the tray.

420DeepGrow The ladies are starting to grow daily and they already have enough body to move them to flowering, one of the plants is developing much more than the other.
They look healthy, with no signs of over-fertilization or deficiencies.
📅 Day 1🔹Light defoliation
📅 Day 2🔹Rest day
