Grow #1, RQS Easy Bud!

Friday 8th December The first day of week 3! 15 days in to their lives and they seem to be doing really well! Again, complete novice with this being my first grow but they are getting bigger every day and they look really healthy to me! As this is my first grow I won't be doing any radical techniques or using any fancy products, just a budget super steady auto grow. Any tips or advice as always will be met with nothing but gratitude, so please speak up if I could be doing anything differently to help my plants along! The cheap Aliexpress humidifier has worked an absolute treat and brought humidity up to 60%, much much better than the 35-45 seen before. Not much else to report, see you again tomorrow! Saturday 9th December Scattered a layer of worm castings over the surface of the pots. Adjusted my fan to give a bit more of a direct breeze too. Plants growing really well and looking strong. Started with some light LST today to make sure everything grows as well as it can. Will not be doing anything hard core, remember it's my first ever grow! Sunday 10th December Nothing eventful to report! Plants are still growing well, added a bit more LST to some branches that are lengthening, and directed the fan at them more for direct breeze. No watering today, just keeping an eye on them for now. Have another delivery from Royal Queen Seeds coming this week, have x3 Northern Lights auto, x3 Fat Banana auto, x5 blue cheese auto and x1 Royal Creamatic seeds on their way. Very excited to plan the next grow! Will be planting the next seeds approx 3 weeks prior to harvest of these Easy Bud so I can get a head start on next harvest. Monday 11th December Lots of growth whilst out at work today! Plants have responded really well to the LST, stems are thickening and the plants are really picking up in height! Adding Canna Cannazym to their feed schedule today to ensure old roots are broken down and reused by the plants. As a lovely extra surprise, my left plant seems to be showing she's a lady and is now in preflower! Got some photos, really excited to see this happening! Nothing showing on the right hand plant but she is a bit behind and has been since her shell helmet. Really proud of progress so far, will keep doing what I'm doing! Tuesday 12th December Nothing much to report, plants are continuing to grow really nicely, no signs of issues on the leaves so I'll keep doing what I've been doing, it seems to be going well so far! Lots more preflower growth on the left plant, still no signs of anything on the right plant but I'm hopeful something will show in the next few days. Ordered some Vitalink Silicon Max after doing some research, hopefully the plants will see a good benefit from it. Thursday 14th December Terrible news today. One plant is well in to preflower and growing well, unfortunately noticed that my second plant has developed pollen sacs. Took some time and confirmed 8 of these sacs starting. After researching im aware if it were to release pollen it could ruin the other plant, so I took the decision to remove the plant and start from seed. I have no other environment to grow a herm solo, so it's for the best and part of growing I suppose. Very disheartened but the survivor is looking better every day. See you tomorrow! 😁
