🌱 New adventure with two F1 seeds: Milky Way and Titan by RQS. This diary will be focus only on the Milky Way! 🌱
⚙️ The F1 seeds will share the grow box and the 150 watt lamp. As always I'll grow this seeds in hydroponic DWC setup, this time in 5 liters pot, with Vents TT100 for air extraction and Hailea air pump!
🗓️ About my plan, I say a cycle of about 12 weeks using a 18/6 cycle, divided as follows
🌱- Seedling stage: 50/75 watt (2 weeks)
🌿- Veg + Transition stage: 100 watt (5 weeks)
🌸- Flowering +🍊Ripen stage: 150 watt (5 weeks)
Milky Way F1 arrived in the cosmos after breeders crossed several highly inbred genetic lines that share a heritage with Blue Mammoth, Blue Dream, and Sin Tra Bajo Auto. Milky Way F1’s parent varieties passed down a complex mix of terpenes, including myrcene, farnesene, caryophyllene, pinene, and limonene. Together, these aromatic molecules converge to create dank aromas and flavours of metallic Skunk and citrus. As a result, Milky Way F1 holds the title of the most aromatic cultivar in our F1 range. As far as effects go, this F1 hybrid will catapult you into orbit with high levels of THC. Expect a warm and fuzzy body high perfect for the evenings. Trace levels of CBG and soothing terpenes will help to curb the peak of the high to keep things chill.

Hi guys, this autoflower is 44 days from dry seed, flowering begins 3 weeks ago. It's drinking around 0.5 lt every 2 or 3 days, not so much compared to my old autoflowers. I checked roots and I saw this, they look "fried" and brown. Should I remove it? Can I get a decent result?
I think the roots are just a little stained from your solution. FloraMicro especially will do that from my experience with the General Hydroponics Trio. Your ladies look happy to me.

🌱🌿🌸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%.
