I have grown RQS a few times but this is my first RQS diary. The seed took 36hrs to pop and sprout in the wet paper towel. It only took another 36hrs to come fully out of the ground and loose it’s shell.
I started with the lights 70cm’s from the soil which was giving a LUX💡reading of 25,000lux💡.Once the seedling 🌱 got to 5cm’s I raised the light by 5cm again to keep the distance at 70cm’s maintaining a reading of 25,000Lux💡 at the top of the seedling 🌱.
On previous grows I started with the light at 80cm’s but I was getting stretching. I find if I start at 70cm’s and don’t raise the light after a day or two that the seedling 🌱 can get light burn.
HUMIDITY: As you can see in photos I have milk bottle tops full of water next to the seedling. I’ve been this for a while now. I have my seedling next to a plant only a few weeks away from harvest so I need to keep the overall humidity low. I might be crazy and wasting my time but it makes sense to me. I leave these bottle tops near the seedling and over the space of a day the water evaporates off and then I refill them again with water (PH’d water). I reckon if the water is evaporating off so close to the seedling that it must be creating some extra humidity around the seedling 🌱.
For the record I don’t think the earth 🌍 is flat.
*I’m using RQS nutrients for this grow. I am recording the nutrients as 0.5ml as there is not a tablet option so what I mean by 0.5 is half of one tablet per 2ltrs of water.
🦍Day 3: Watered around the edges of the seedling 🌱 just to dampen the soil a bit
🦍Day 5: Dampened soil again. Looking good so far.
🦍Day 7: Gave very light watering. Happy with the height of the seedling 🌱. The light distance seems to have worked well.
Beautiful grow and congrats on your harvest. 👏👍 I just love the art work and the informational posts about the Gorilla's, they are such amazing animals! Very creative and I like the fact you inform people about gorillas so if they are interested they can potentially learn something new. We need more of this, very nice! 👊
