So it's been a scary first week! Had the seedlings over a second hand vivarium heat mat set at 24 degrees and they sprouted 12 hours later! Allowed them time to spread their leaves out a bit, but unfortunately the right hand seedling got caught in its own seed shell and had a half day handicap over the other seedling. Ita noticeable as I type this as she's a good centimeter shorter than the other seedling. I'm sure they will both do just fine. Learning lots and lots every day from this site and youtube with different growers around the world. As a new starter to this hobby it's incredibly exciting and feels really satisfying to see day on day progress. The Easy Start plugs were transplanted directly in to room temperature coco coir / perlite 70/30 mix, lightly misted with water and left alone. They seem to be getting used to their new environments as the growth this last 24 hours has been great and really promising to see. Taking it very slowly, lots of research and consultation with the wife as we go. Remember, I'm a literal 0 experience newbie when it comes to this, I've only ever smoked it in the past never even considered growing it for us myself. Will be upgrading to a Mars Hydro TS600 soon, and have a carbon filter / inlibe fan setup on order that should be here in a week. Temperatures are good in the tent along with humidity, today I have introduced a clip fan to direct air at the plants to keep circulation up. The fan is at its lowest setting and movement on the medium or in the plants is minimal, so it won't stress them too hard at such an early stage. No nutrients or anything just yet, only room temperature water and done very sparingly. Plants are housed in 7l fabric pots raised off the tent floor by cooling racks, allowing for half an inch of airflow under each pot, and allowing for drainage should my watering be too excessive. Will be going in to 11l pots when the time is right for the remainder of their grow, I would have planted them directly to the 11l ones but unfortunately they didn't arrive in the post in time. Officially the end of week one and nothings caught fire, neither seedling has died and I'm more excited than when I started. I'll see you at the end of week 2! I take daily photos and keep a written grow journal so nothing will be missed, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! *EDIT* Realised I'd totally got my days wrong! We are currently (28/11) only 5 days in after sprouting! So we haven't finished the first week, more updates and pictures below! Please keep checking as I'll be updating until the first week is actually done. So today is 28/11. One plant still ahead of the other, fan width and height wise but still looking in good health and colour. Been watering very lightly testing for moisture by hand. Made and order today for Biobizz Grow and Bloom, some PH down solution and a bottle of CalMag. Will be introducing feeding as per their nutrition chart, and perhaps even at a lower dose than they recommend (please advise as I've seen strong recommendations to run at 1/4 strength?). Tent is running well, good temperatures and the light seems to be providing plenty of light to this pair of Easy Bud. Really excited and seeing good growth every day! Wednesday 29th November Small update today, both plants are continuing to grow at a steady consistent rate. Gained 1cm in width and height between the pair of them. Fingers crossed we see some more dramatic growth in the next week or so! Thursday 30 November Officially one week of growth! Both the plants are still alive, I brought them out in to better lighting for a few photos. One is still ahead of the other, but both have hained exactly 1cm in width across their main leaves, and both have pushed out their second set fairly rapidly! Introducing CalMag to watering today, 0.5ml to a liter, but won't be watering until tomorrow morning as substrate is still wet. Smaller plant has a change of colour on the tips of its leaves, I'm hopeful this isn't anything to worry about? Will see how she fares the next 24 hours, but officially this is the end of week 1!

Hi guys, first time grower here and I'm a bit concerned about one of my two plants. One has entered preflower 2 days short of week 4, but my second plant hasn't shown any signs yet. Noticed these pods near the main stem, is this the sign of a hermaphrodite?

@James, I'm going to try my very best! Thank you for such a great website over at RQS, really took the guess work out as a new starter, and the reviews are really helpful too! I hope I can do RQS justice with my first grow 😁

I can tell you, it ia a fantastic feeling to try your own homegrown weed for the first time! Yesterday, I vaped my Orion F1 and it was mindblowing :-)

@gottagrowsometime, hey man thanks for that, I've decided to document as much as I can as a novice because it'll help lots of people who pick this strain as their first go. By no means am I saying I'll be successful as this is my literal first ever experience with anything like this, but either way if it succeeds or they both die I can at least hope with me being thorough, at least one other person may find a benefit in that tiny bit of my experience.

Good luck! You need to be careful with the light schedules in the flowering phase. You will have adapt to 12:12 after the vegetative phase for your Special Queen 1, because she is not an autoflower. That may restrict the harvest for your autoflower a little. Ideally, you would only grow autos or feminized seeds in the same tent.

@Sejanus21, hey man thanks for having a look! I haven't planted the Special Queen, just x2 Easy Bud so I can do a nice, steady auto grow as a first timer. The Special Queen can wait until I have more experience, going to order more autos to get started and comfy as a grower 🙂

I swear, reading all your journey with your girl felt like reading a novel... With the pug/plot twist too! Keep up the good work! (I'm currently growing a little easy bud baby outdoor, but I'm short on fert and such things, so I'll go with love, water and sun :P)

I would not move them from the 7l to the 11l pot. You might risk to put them into a shock for days which will restrict their growth maybe more than the 7l pot. The plant is rather small anyway, so the 7l might even be fine. Just my opinion, and I am a first time grower, too.
