This will be seed number 1 out of 5 from Medus F1 RQS. Due to the genetic stability of the F1 seeds, I will do an experiment.
I will compare LST alone with LST + topping. There is a lot of controversy regarding topping autoflowers but with the release of these F1 seeds and it's genetic stability (basically clones from seeds) we can actually test if topping is beneficial for an autoflower.
I have 5 seeds and I will subject 2 to LST on it's own, 2 will be subjected to LST + topping and the last seed i'm not sure yet, what to do with it.
This plant will receive LST alone

I used regular tap water and soaked the seed for 36 hours until it was able to sink to the bottom
10/4
The seed was saturated and placed in a damp paper towel on a plate covered with plastic foil to maintain high humidity. The plate was put in a dark cand cool place for vernilization.
11/4
The seed burst and grew a small taproot and was ready to put into soil.
I used 5 gallon pots with canna terra professional soil.
For my setup I use 4 x 150 watt full spectrum lights with a 20/4 light cycle.
The temperatures vary between 26°C and 29°C during the day. During the 4 hour dark cycle it varies between 20°C and 23°C.
The humidity is set for 70% but also varies between 60 and 80%.
I spray the soil with regular tapwater to keep it moist.
@WhiteEdge, they look amazing and are super compact. Not super frosty but very natural. You can harvest them around day 70-75, they are also done by then, but for me, I like bigger yields and more ripe trichomes.
@WhiteEdge, I think indeed i soon need to get a good marshydro light or something like that. I noticed when left longer it starts producing new calyxes on top of the flowersites with new white pistils. I will mention this in next weeks medusa 2/5 diary.
@nonick123, super cool! Love to hear you live in Spain. Really good weather and sunlight is always the best. I will follow your diary! Thanks for the kind words
@Densko, veo que los llevaste a 94 días!
Yo haré una mezcla de indoor (2 primeras semanas) y después outdoor que en el este de España es benévolo hasta finales de septiembre
Voy a tomar notas de tu diario! :-)
