She grow very well, but the rest RQS seeds din’t germinated. I’m quite disappointed.
I gave her no nutrients since i'm using fertilized soil BioBizz all mix, there should be anough nutrients for the first 6 months and using osmose water for watering.
It grow very well. I think. SInce it's my first grow i didn't have any reference. The winter is coming. I'm starting to concern about the temperatur at night. Well let see how it goes. I'm doing the LST technic on some of the branch
Hi @bluetonic! Well, it's easy to over-do with LST, I think your worked a bit too much on these plants, give them some time to recover from your latest manipulations. Plus, you've just changed the lighting system, that's quite a disturbing event for plants so they will need a few days to adapt to the new light spectrum/power. At this stage I would stop to LST since it seems to slow down the growth, and considering you're growing an auto, time is running and she should start pre-flowering soon. Finally, your diary says your temp is 25°c, but your thermometer on picture 8 shows a 32.8°C temp. High temps can lead to slow growth and many kinds of issues. Combined with the previously listed factors, heat might be responsible for the lack of vertical growth. Now about defoliation, I won't do it now, not until the plants look healthy with a normal daily growth, otherwise you may add another stress and loose some days recovering from these shocks. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
It went well. But i'm still struggling with high temperatures and humidity. I'm going to install exhaust fan to prevent this. And i added some nutrients this weeks.
It's been 10 weeks now. The buds getting slightly bigger. It's my first grow. It can be better, but i'm very happy with the result so far. It seem that i'm going to harverst on the week 12.
I think it’s almost ready for the harvest . I’m really exited. I flushed her this weeks and geve her only condense water ph 6.5 frim the dehumidifier.
Some of the pistils are turning brown. I‘m going to check the trichome with my macro lens and take some fotos. I've added macro fotos at the time she was 80 days old.
12 weeks journey has been trough. I harvest her between 90% milky and 10% amber. It's easy to grow and surprisingly good harvest.
I got 53 gram dry buds on a single plants. Very tasty and relaxing. Great for evening chill in. :)
It's my first ever grow. So happy with the outcome. I'm happy with my start set up. But it need to improved. I have a problem with high humidity. And since i almost away during the work days. I have to have an automatic watering system, which didn't go very well. Sometimes it's too wet. Thats where the humidity come. On the stain it was very easy, i've done lolipopping without problem. At first time i didn't sure about the trimming, but i will do it more to prevent popcorn buds.
As you can see from my last Autoflower grow (Greencrack) you can Top/Supercrop Autos as long as they are healthy they will not be stressed to much and will continue on just fine. The same goes for Defoliation. I wouldn't recommend spreading the defoliation out but rather rip it like a bandaid. The benefits outweigh the negatives even with Autos as long as the plants are healthy.
@HighTV, yes, that's what i'm going to ask. I've read about the pro and contra of defoliation specially on autoflowering. Some of them said leave it some of them do it. What about your opinion?
It can be anything. Probably the failure was on my hand. But RQS guys covered the lost, without problem. They are awesome. Their product is awesome. This time it's just an exception.
@bluetonic, that sucks! I have have nothing but success with RQS 5 of 6 seeds germinated for me and 4 of them have been harvested. Unfortunately that was before I started using this great diaries site.
@James, I really don't know. They didn't germinated. It was moist enough, no lights and the temp should be around 25 Degree. What i'm not quite sure if it's the problem. I'm using tap water and jiffy pot. I checked the PH of the water, it was 7.
Yeah man your grow is looking great compared to mine. Your is much more bushy....I will be posting some updated pictures tonight or tomorrow so your can see. My buds do seem to be a little further along but your plant looks so much more healthy.

@Stick, Hi Thanks for your advice. Yes, it became warmer, because of the new LED lamp. before it was 26 degree. I put more powerful ventilator but it did not decrease the temperature. I have to buy pipe ventilator. So i can installed it to get air from outside to the inside of the tent.
