RQS - The Littlest Dwarf

This little one has really started to bush out, now..! I was a little concerned at how tiny it was, so I'm glad it took a bit longer to flower. The issue with the leaves going into a "seagull" shape is back, which was said to be overwatering by the guys - but the soil is dry enough and a few of the older leaves (with the more lizard-like feel) have started to do it. If I push in the centre, then they twist upward, so I am wondering if this is the plant actually trying to twist the leaves up, but getting stuck and so it only appears down - in which case it would be simply a genetic issue, and nothing to do... Either way - the Dwarf is looking good, and I can see why it is called "Dwarf" now :D // The dwarf is now even shorter..! :D haha I've managed to get it another inch lower, and it is around 1/2 of the way along one side of the pot only... Very uncertain that the Dwarf will make it even to the next corner for the bend, but eh well :p Today was tying again for the LST, and tucking - I've stressed the stem so hard, I can hear it wanting to relax. Well, Dwarf..! The only way to relax is to grow more! I've uncovered a few buds that were caught growing out of place, and put them back in line. Looking good! The leaves might not be the most attractive, but they are certainly small enough (and the starter buds, they are tiny formations!) to be a potential bonsai candidate..! Shame it's an auto - I'll have to ask RQS about finding some stock that hasn't been flowering so well and needs switching :) These autos - I am starting to love them. It's just a case of put in the seed and that's it - although... tbh... I would like to defoliate and train a bit more than simply bonsai-bending them. This guy responds well to LST, and it very pliable. Bounces back within one light cycle. Not very thirsty, so I guess the roots are not so big as I expect - but with the growth spurt this week, hopefully it will start drinking up everything it can get! :D So - even though all the other Dwarfs died before they were born (pretty much) - I am glad this one came up and, tbh... I will do it again to make sure this isn't a fluke. So +1 for RQS Royal Dwarf - I will not be so harsh with the review as I have been in the past, now that there is the plant to actually look at and enjoy growing :D The TS-1000 is really helping it get budding, so that was a good move. The initial light burn has been resolved now that it's using it, and getting an even bathe :) // Today I have restrung the LST wires, and released the Dwarf from its bondage in a few places. With so many little buds and branches (every single one is going..!) I'm finding it difficult to locate the leader sometimes! I'm glad, now, that I finally managed to have a Royal Dwarf that lived past birth! It's actually a nice little plant, and you could easily fit this guy inside a computer case or something, with a small light - I think that 100 / 150w is more than adequete. You could probably get away with 30-50w, maybe, which would be fine inside a computer case with the fan running, powered off the block, there. It could be super-stealth in your office space, most def. He is a pocket rocket, for sure..! // Again with the LST tightening - it is now about 1/2 way along the side of the pot, having gone diagonal and been pulled back 180, same as the Widow. The Dwarf is even shorter again!!! :D Now less than half a pencil high! haha I think that, even though the leaves aren't the most attractive - and the bud formations are very tiny - that this is an excellent candidate for bonsai! Shame it's an autoflowering strain, so I'll have to talk to RQS about if they have any that have not been flowering without a switch - perhaps there's a similar strain..? There were a few flower clumps that were out of place, so they've been uncovered (found a few idk existed) and brought back into line. The spiral is going ok, but it definitely won't make it even a third of the way I had hoped :)
