I think this strain handled herself perfectly considering that it was my first grow and I still don't know what I'm doing. She survived my poor gardening skills and a fertilizer buildup with her soil runoff being EC 5.8 at some point. Also I had to switch to 12/12 because of another plant in the tent, so she had shorter days for the second half of her flowering. She was really easy to defoliate and trim since she wasn't bushy at all. She was really forgiving. I couldn't see any amber trichomes, but most were milky and I couldn't wait any longer because nanners started popping up on buds. Let's see how she dries, cures and tastes. I hope I can update this later. BTW Thank you RQS for such a great chance to grow her because they sent me this seed for free as a promo campaign when I was buying something else. I still have a second seed which I'm definitely gonna grow.

I managed to over fertilize my soil with my poor watering skills. I hope I can do better next time using EC meter. I don't really get how to control/balance my plant's NPK intake with those formulas bg 4 - 3 - 6, bb 2 - 7 - 4. I think when I cut one and add another that leads to imbalances. Hard to tell.
Dropped my EC from 5.8 to 3.9 during last watering with runoffs. And I hope even more.
Reviews. Lamp
Warms just enough which was good in colder days. More than enough for my tiny tent 40x40cm, never used more than 100W still got light burns and stress.
Reviews. Tent
Great tent, 100% worth the money, discreet.

3 month or 12 weeks and a couple of days. What a journey, I never expected to dive so deep and learn so much. Thank you beautiful people for your time, thoughts and support, special thanks to @Crashoverite for "growership" and spending so much time answering my crazy questions 😸 How I ended up growing a photoperiod and an autoflower in the same tent? I was high enough to drop my thermometer/hydrometer on my SSH when she was just a 2 days old seedling almost snapping her stem. So I planted another seed because I thought she's not gonna survive. This was Orion. And SSH is still flowering in the tent. I never ran my light higher than 100w which was about 75% on the dimmer and even that seemed to stress them. I think it has a lot to do with the compact size of my tent of just 40cm. TS1000 probably can handle bigger spaces but that was more than enough for me. So far my power meter shows 100Kwh for three months which is roughly 35EUR. What do you guys think of my drying space? 😹 That's the best I could come up with considering I can't dry anywhere else and I still have to keep SSH flowering. Temps swing 18-24 day/night, I try to keep rH 50-60%. There are two pc fan blowing the air upwards, kinda sucking it out from the drying zone. I added black paper on the sides to help stop the light getting down there. It's less than 500lux there and the light is 12/12 anyway. I hope this works. There were 184gr of wet buds with stems for hanging. Two biggest colas were 20 and 25gr. In the end there were ~35g of dry buds and 5g of trim. The more it cures the better it gets. Can't really describe the smell and taste, quiet unique.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

yes you can remove them but maybe you're going to have some delay on harvesting, i guess not much. Dont defoliate anyway

Her soil runoff EC was really high 5.8 🙀. 10 days ago I gave her just plain water and 2 days ago I used TA FlashClean, which claims "ready for harvest in two days instead of ten". Do you think I should chop? Sorry for bad images, I can't see any amber tricoms, only my cat's hair

Stick a fork in her, shes done. I think it is time for harvest, Flushing is a bit of a myth, plants don't store excess nutrients in the buds that you smoke, flushing to correct a catastrophic issue like a EC runoff of 5.8 is the correct course of action. Congrats on doing that. Flushing while thinking it will strip the plant of nutrients and not the medium is the bro science method and hold no basis. I think you will be very happy with that buds once its cured and ready. Some plants do not get as ambery as other when ripening, its a good trait. Keep seed or clones from this one. I also agree with the looks like their is a nanner in the first pick. spray a pair of tweezers with water and pluck it out. Good Luck!

Hallo ein schöner grow. 100 % Licht ungefähr 40 cm Abstand, mit fan nach oben auf die schönen Knospen. Ich habe dieselbe Lampe. Dann gibt's nochmal nen klebriges Bodybuilding.👍 Jau und länger, so ca 16 h. Das sind Automatics . Für den besten Ertrag.

@einamio, das habe ich dir angeraten , weil das abends gießen etwas milder zu den Pflanzen ist, glaube ich.

@KingSalomonsWeed, thank you! My plants are 25cm tall, so far no resin on my lamp 😹 You know I think the size of the tent also matters, my walls probably reflect more light because they are closer, so I guess I need less power to get high PPFD. Why do you recommend watering in the evening? I though it should be done as they wake up, no? 😳

@einamio, Also an meiner TS 1000 sind tatsächlich Spuren von klebrigen Buds... So nahe kamen die Knospen ihr schon. Das ist zu nahe. Bedenke bitte nur, das du dann öfter Gießen solltest. Am besten Abends. Viel Glück. Ne, diese Lampe ist "echt" Anfängerfreundlich und gut. Da du in 12 h growst, könnte es etwas länger dauern. Mach weiter so. Es ist gut.

Best of luck! I received a freebie seed of Orion F1 from RQS. The harvested bud is my favorite of the 6 strains I've grown so far (newbie here) but I had so many issues with my grow. The leaves curled up like tacos almost from the start. I was giving it the same nutes as my other 3 plants I grew with it, and they were all fine. I ended up with a whopping 12 grams of dried flower but OMG, it's the best 12 grams I've smoked in years. I want to master growing this plant but will wait for the seed price to come down on them first. The sheer amount of trichomes that covered this plant were increditble. It was white & frosty, I just wish it gave me more than 12 grams. I ended up harvesting mine on day 43 of flower (day 73 of life), it was ready.

@Shelly420, 😻 have a great smoke, growmie, so good to hear! One day maybe we'll be able to share a simultaneous orion high together😹 Your comment made me more excited about orion's future if she survives my gardening 😹 You did mention everything correctly, I was just double-checking, I think our timelines are quiet similar! How close was your light? You should definitely create a diary, you're already sharing valuable info :D I would love to see your images and read commentary! Thanks for cheering up and letting me know I'm doing not so bad 😽

@einamio,One more! LOL One thing I failed to point out is that your grow is already looking way better than mine did at this point, so I bet you'll have much better end results.

@einamio,For nutes I did Cal-Mag & the 3 Fox Farm nutrients (Grow Big, Buds & Blooms and Big Bloom (all dosed according to manufactures recommendation). For soil I used 1/2 Fox Farm Ocean Forest & 1/2 Fox Farm Happy Frog. I also put in some perlite for extra drainage. I really wouldn't follow my lead on this one though, I only got 12 dried grams in the end. Just enough to show me how awesome this plant can be. I'm anxious to see how yours goes & hopefully I can learn something because I really want to grow this one again. I'm smoking it right now, I wish I could share :) Soooo good! One of these days I might post the grow. I tried to figure out how to do it but I couldn't get the pictures to upload. I'll try again when I have more time. I took daily pictures, kept a journal, etc.

@einamio,hey bro, you definitely need water these girls more. 8l pots. I would say both needs 1-1.2l every 2-3 days. Definitely water in stages until runoff. Not sure why the leaves dropped on orion but underwatering could be the reason here. ✌️💚
einamio
einamio
@Crashoverite, thanks to your support) She looks a bit down though, I don't understand if it's the light or that I'm giving her ~550ml every 3rd/4th day, that's when the top 1.5cm feel dry, but there's no runoff. I should probably go back to 1000ml. They looked great after watering with 1000ml but humidity was off the charts 🙀

@einamio, thanks a lot she was at 9th week, don’t love late harvest to mold risk and to give spaces to other photoperiodic girls. I grow fast the autos and then finish the photoperiodic at 12h. For this the 12h at the end is not the best for autoflowering but if the bud filling is finished and have only to mature is possible to do this job

@Breadandbuds, thank you, Sir! 🙀 How old was your beautiful Orion when you harvested her? Do you use 12h in flower with autos for faster yield? 🙏 Thank you for commenting!

@Cats_n_weed, 😹lol thanks, I was looking for something to raise the pots so they won't sit in runoff, it also helps ventilation a bit, the pots don't cover the intake hole of the tent. I think I found smth like a drying rack/spice shelf/kitchen organizer in a local store real cheap😎 just fits perfectly 40cm tent and two 8L pots🙏

God damn those buds look thicc 😩😩😩 What a marvelous adventure for a first grow, you got a real knack for this stuff and a green thumb to boot. Stick to it, I know you'll be a plant whisperer in no time! I hope the smoke will be all you wanted and more, you certainly deserve it after all this hard work. Best of luck with curing and the other harvest!!

@Kenough, thank you bro! It's just a nice photo and also the biggest buds are upfront on display, so you almost don't see the rest of small ugly and fluffy ones))) I feel like it's gonna be around 30g dry in the end if I can handle my humidity) when are you going to get Wobbles a suitable tent? :D Best of luck to you too! Gonna report as soon as I vape it if it delivered on your promises 😸 Cheers!
