5° DWC Milky Way F1

🌱🌿🌸SUMMARY🌸🌿🌱 I started this crop with 4 plants as you can see in the pics, 2 autoflowers by RQS and 2 photoperiodics. My plan was as follows: grow the two autoflowering plants until harvest and in the meantime do a long vegetative period for the two photoperiodic plants, and then proceed with the switch. One autoflowering plants, the Titan F1, did not respond well to the training and I preferred to remove it on week 5. Fortunately there were no problems with the other three plants (I made a different diary focused on the two photoperiodic). Milky Way F1 grew in a space dedicated to her of 90 cm x 40 cm (0.36 m2), under a 150 watt lamp which in the meantime also illuminated the other plants. 🌱 GERMINATION (2 days) Seed in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riot and under the lamp. It sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed. 🌿 GROWING STAGE (3 weeks and half) During the 23 days after sprouting she had an impressive growth ratio. When she reached 25 cm in height I decided to bent the main stem to the side. On day 24 I opened the canopy with some tie, then I removed a good amount of leaves. The key with this kind of auto, the F1, is not stress them in the wrong moment but if you want to boost them yield you need to do some train, carefully! During the veg stage PH was always between 5.5 and 5.9, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1 on the last veg week. 🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (7 weeks) She began the flowering stage on day 26 from dry seed (was 20 cm height after the bending) and by the end of the stretching she more than doubled the height, reaching 46 cm despite the LST on week 3 and 4. During the flowering I just removed some leaves on week 4 and 8. The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then. I chopped her when trichomes were 95% milky and 5% amber. That gave me a very balanced high. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.9 and 6.2, about EC I started with 1.6 and was 2 on the last week before flush. ✅ HARVEST - From dry seed to harvest: 74 days (2 days germination + 23 days veg + 49 days flo). - Chopped after 4 days flush, no dark time; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. This plant had a ridiculous calyx-to-leaf ratio, it was just big buds! ✅ DRYING STAGE - Time: 15 days; - Average: 18° C - 60% RH. - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT - 110 gr very frosty buds, no larf 😁 ✅ CURING STAGE - Curing is done after 45 days with Boveda 62%.

1° smoke review - 30 days curing Buds are giant and very heavy, it's impressive. That's the reason why they need a couple of weeks more to show their best flavor and potency! Anyway when I open the jar I can clearly recognize citrus and a pungent flavor. About the taste, it definitely need to improve. The smoke effect is already strong, more Sativa at the begins. 2° smoke review - 45 days curing These buds are ready to join in my smoke routine. The breeder was right, that's one of the most aromatic strain you can find on the market! The terpene profile is something that I can't fully understand, that's because it's very complex. Due the pungent and herbs smell we can say that this strain stands out for its skunk and dank aromas, not so common. The smoke is thick and full-bodied, with citrus/lemon flavors dominating. High is pretty strong, effects are balanced. I chopped her with almost all milky trichomes and that avoid to experience a couch lock. It starts with a strong cerebral high, then it will help you relax, still staying friendly. Dry mouth is the only negative effect I can report. 3° smoke review - 60 days curing This is a quick update because these buds deserve it. Terpene profile is developing very nice. The same for the effects, I love this kind of high. When I open the jar the whole house is filled with the smell of weed, it's ridiculous! Now I need a carbon filter in my house too, not only in the grow box 😅 Anyone who has read my old diaries should know that I'm a bit strict when it comes to grading, but this time I couldn't do otherwise. I really appreciated that the info wrote by the breeder turned out to be 100% correct, especially regarding the life cycle. RQS made a great job working on these F1 strains, well done guys! ✅ The journey trough the Milky Way's life is done, I hope you can find it useful. Thanks for reading and supporting my work.
