CalGonJim 1/12 I have always wanted to try these F1 seeds from RQS!!! They have a sale on some of their cookie strains and I just found out that the F ones are available in auto flower so I have three regular and one CBD I really like their website too. It looks like the old Gatecrasher albums
Iโm so excited I cannot wait to get this set up. Iโm going to use my spider farmer tents Iโm gonna do two plants in each of the 28โ x 28inch tents. Will be using Mars Hydro TS 1000 light but Iโm not gonna run it at maximum.
I will have it at 100 around 100 W for heat purposes anything more than that in the small tent will damage the plants itโs counterproductive. I ordered my seeds and they shipped the next day I think and so theyโll be here in a few days. Iโm just so excited. ๐๐๐
1/16 2 pm iโm going to go to bed soon and then get up and check the mailbox. They mightโve already arrived.
Pretty exciting and I ordered some from fast buds website as well. I have 2 orders showing up soon. Itโll be ๐
I got into the hobby of collecting seeds, I think I have more than Iโll plant, but itโs fun to collect them and when I die they will hand them out to everybody I love โฆ well not them because theyโre deadโฆ(wasnโt it dramatic the way I threw that in there?) but Iโm sure somebody will find a use for them.
1/16 I got almost 4 hours of sleep and I checked the mailbox and they came so now Iโm gonna try and fill up the cups and plant them tonight. They got here so fast Iโm so excited. Thanks Royal Queen Seeds gonna be fun๐๐๐
1/17 thatโs almost 4 canโt pay attention so I havenโt started anything yet. Iโm not sure I can open up the packages are kind of complicated. I donโt wanna wreck it , the last time I tried to open my screwed it up so now for the next three hours, Iโll try and figure out how to open the packages, thatโs how good the last weed I grew was ๐
1/17 my entries are disappearing
1/18
1/21
1/28 testing every entry I make disappears Iโm going to plant one more hyperon F1 the other one germinated lived for about a day and then died and the other ones were just fine and the exact same set up.
2/2/24 the second hyperon seed failed as well.
CalGonJim 2/5
I turned the light up to 85 that should be more than enough for the next week
2/8 they are doing good after the transplant. I'll give them medium 10 part nutrients. the packages I got were impossible to open, and then I could not close them. I see some people got packages where the seeds were in individual bubbles not just in one large one with no way to close it. The look good but are a pain in the ass.

2/16 light feed & raised lights
2/16 ๐ raising the lights a couple of inches yesterday is what they needed doing very good today if I donโt put an emoji at the end of what Iโm saying it deletes it when I save๐
2/18 Sunday theyโre looking very good. I turned the light up about 5 W to 90 I think Iโll probably leave it there. Maybe Iโll top out at 97 after they flower weโll see how they handle. I added this new great white and it is phenomenal.๐

CalGonJim 2/19 Monday ๐
2/21 Wednesday nutrients light feed
They are growing in a way that I have never seen. They almost dont need much training, its doing it on its own, pretty cool. I will bend some branches back for air but I think ill just do as little as possible. The internodal spacing is great so is the amount of stretch from the bottom 2 sets of branches rising up to the level of the main cola for an even light canopy without messing with it. ๐
2/25 Sunday I did a light feed with all the supplements theyโre really looking good I didnโt use much water. I split up 1 gallon between three of them. I have not done ANY training on these. They are short and are growing pretty good without me have to do a thing, this is nice. ๐จโ๐พ

CalGonJim 2/26 I watered Sunday & messed with the light a little bit yesterday and I turned it up to 103 W and it got a little bit too hot so Iโm gonna leave it at 97 for the rest of the grow. It should be fine. They are spectacular. Canโt believe how good itโs going. I donโt even touch them Iโm afraid to. I donโt wanna mess them up this time. ๐๐๐
2/27 ๐จโ๐พ I gave them each a gallon of water. No I gave a gallon of water and put silica in it. I talk into my phone when I type in this fucking thing and half the time it doesnโt fucking save it unless I put an emoji at the fucking end of it. ๐
2/28 alternating between feeding schedule and water with silica seems to be a nice formula. It makes a huge difference. I did 3 mL in a gallon of water and split that between the three.๐จโ๐พ๐ฉ

CalGonJim 3/4๐ Iโm kind of torn this morning on whether I should just do the three-part feeding or the full 10 part I see a little bit of leaf tip burn and I donโt wanna overdo it. I donโt know.
Ended up doing the light feed all the supplements and the great white. That seems to do a really great job.๐
These are growing better than any auto flower Iโve seen they are completely different. Theyโre very solid theyโre growing huge much better than anything Iโve ever seen. These are quite different. I donโt have to touch them and now theyโre starting to produce big buds and a lot of resin.๐๐๐
3/5 ๐ I now see the value of these F1 hybrids. They grow uniformly and perfectly without touching them. They are really incredible. Iโm growing four plants from fast buds in the next tent, and they are great but they grow completely different. The ones are completely uniform. Itโs really spectacular to witness these plants grow. ๐๐๐
3/6๐๐ธ I gave them all quite a bit of water today and I changed out the plant trays after about 10% runoff and a spray neem oil in the plant tray before I put the plant in it. Theyโre looking great very consistent.๐๐ธ
3/7๐๐๐๐ธ
3/9 ๐ they are growing very perfect and symmetrical. I gave them water today a gallon between the three of them. Theyโre doing great. Thereโs really nothing for me to do just water them.๐

CalGonJim 3/11 ๐๐ฆMonday they look and smell amazing. The smell is really coming out. I couldnโt believe it. Itโs just like gum. Itโs very sweet and very pleasant. I gave them water today just water.
3/12๐จโ๐พ
3/13 ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ I did water again just water & 2ml silica in a gallon. Next time I will do nutrients. I always overdo it towards the end so Iโm trying to be very light on the nutrients this time. I always screw up the last month.๐
3/14 ๐they are getting lighter in color but not too light. I moved the grow light up a couple of inches and Iโm gonna keep it at about 12 inches for the rest of the grow. Itโs running at about 92 W oh no 96 on this one, thatโs probably a little high but theyโre absolutely perfect and uniform. I just donโt wanna screw it up so next time Iโll do a watering with the light feed schedule probably even later today or tomorrow. ๐๐๐
3/15 ๐๐ธ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ I did a full watering with nutrients and supplements. I sprayed neem oil on the bag and on the soil before I watered. I moved the light up to about 18 inches away from the top of the plant. I kept it at the same wattage. I shouldnโt have to move anymore for the rest of the grow. Gonna take her three more weeks maybe 4.
3/16 I just found maple syrup cone filters that might work as air intake filters on my robot arm 4 in ducting. Not sure of the size. could use them as a template and make my own from MERV 13 material. Also other filter options:
Replacements for Dirt Devil F2,
4 Pack Filter Replacements For Dyson DC41
doing copy and paste so I can find them again
3/17๐๐๐ incredible amounts of resin are forming on all of the plants now. They smell better than any plants Iโve ever grown. I can see the value in theserr. They are consistent and since Iโm not overdoing the fertilizer, they seem to be doing great. I have never had better luck so Iโm really hoping I donโt screw it up from here on out.

CalGonJim 3/18๐๐๐๐๐๐ I did water and silica yesterday. They are looking good today. I am probably going to take the light from 96 or 97 W where itโs at now down to 93 or 92 just a couple of watts lowers the temperature considerably and I think theyโre doing, pretty good. I donโt like to get them too overcooked or the end of the thatโs a mistake I make so I hope reducing the light doesnโt stress them.๐จโ๐พ
โณI turned the light down to 91 W and the plants are responding perfectly. They are fading to a perfect gold and they smell great. These are absolutely perfect plants. Iโm going to start three more. I will probably put 2 gallons of dirt in a 3 gallon pot like I did this time , theyโre just beyond amazing ๐๐ธ๐ฝ๐
๐ก๐ก๐ก the mars Hydro lights are the best thing that has ever happened to me since I started growing. They have the best lights I can control the temperature. Theyโre low wattage are incredibly powerful. I can do four plants less than 95 W. Itโs just amazing.๐ก๐ก๐ก
3/19๐๐ธ
3/20 I took a small bud from each one,, im drying them now and will smoke them in the morning
3/21 ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ Full watering supplements, nutrients morning
WOW... I almost never taste the weed, I never dry it long enough, BUT WOW, I just had some Apollo, I little dried over night and it smells better than any thing I have ever tried. All three have STROMG smell and taste. The absolute best..... I have old man taste and smell. so not so good but I can tell a huge difference. all are amazing. I am totally blown away.๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐ธ I usually talk into my phone and put an emoji in front and back.....this fucking thing deleted everything I just put in....you lost a great review. fix this fucking thing.
I ๐๐did a watering today with full nutrients and supplements got some runoff. Theyโre looking fantastic. Itโs just perfect. I used ripen for the first time 4 mL. I hope it doesnโt burn the plants every other product that Iโve ever used during the ripen phase just completely burn the plants. ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
3/22 Smoking some Orion only dried for 2 days. Unlike anything I have ever tasted or smoked. Same trichome density as a photo Space Panda growing in the next tent. Very sweet and even with the chlorophyll still pretty nice. Im going to do this same grow again and see if I can get the same results.
No burns from using Ripen at 4mL. Next will be plain water in 2 days then last week of nutrients then a week of flush. These have been the most stable strong hands off plants ive worked with. No problems with nutrients, I wouldn't do anything to stress them, they don't want to be messed with. Just like a high end touring car.

3/30 smoking Cosmos right now...WOW. I have NEVER tasted or smelled anything like this. The Cosmos smells like super strong desil at first. The 3 plants in the tent have the most beautiful smell I can not describe it. These are just in a class of their own. If Fastbuds plants are like a Lamborghini these RSQ F1โs are like Roles Royce. Colors just out of this world ๐๐ธ๐๐ญ
3/31๐๐๐๐ฌ๏ธ I took a couple of sample branches and dried them for just a couple of days just incredibleโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
๐ I turned the light from 94 to 89 W. Iโm gonna leave it there for the last week of the grow tomorrow will be doing flush and then after that will be harvest. These are the best plants Iโve ever grown. These are phenomenal beyond anything I could even think of there in their own category. ๐๐๐๐๐

4/3 Turned light to 80w & ๐ฆ almost 7 gallons flush got EC to 360 for the last week๐ฆ๐ธ๐
4/4 FloraKleen is amazing. After 10 ml per gallon between 3 plants, let it sit for a few minutes. Then after a couple of gallons of plain water after that it completely rinsed out all of the nutrients. I never had anything that worked that good before. PPM or ec baseline tap water is 295. It was 360 after FloraKleen and 2 gal of Ph 6.6 water.
4/5 took some samples ๐๐๐๐

CalGonJim 4/8/24 ๐๐๐๐๐๐ these are the most incredible plants Iโve ever seen. Apollo is so thick and dense. It is indistinguishable from a photo. Cosmos CBD smells like a heavy old-school Kush diesel incredibly strong. Orion smells sweet like candy. Apollo is I canโt even describe the scent. Itโs just the most amazing thing Iโve ever experienced. I had trouble with one of the seeds not germinating. I killed like three F1 seeds when I started my grow, but wow, no one is good enough to grow these ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ iโm gonna let them dry out and I noticed that they were getting a little dry around the tips so I turned down the light to 70W. Sheโll stay that way until theyโre dried out a little bit more and then Iโll cut them down and put them in the little small drying tent that fits on top of my 27 inch spider farmer tent really nice. ๐๐
4/10 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
4/10/24 Apollo F1is the most fragrant so far the tightest most thick dense buds Iโve ever grown. These are in a special class all their own. These are very different. They are easier to grow. They donโt need maintenance. I didnโt do anything to them this time. I will next time I just wanted to see and, these really are beyond anything Iโve ever experienced the smell the way they grow the way they look itโs all perfect and first class.
4/17/24 ive been vaping Apollo at 365 in my Arizer X2 and I am blown away. The aftertaste is like fresh mint. I haven't spent much time with Orion yet, the CBD is very strong smelling and works great.

CalGonJim Apollo smells just beautiful. Itโs stronger than any thing Iโve ever grown cosmos and Orion are also perfect. All three of the different strains have the same uniform height and they are the strongest & nice smelling perfect plants. I just canโt believe how amazing they are. ๐๐๐๐๐
Orion was perfect just like the other two no problems at all she was just as uniform the same size as the other strains very the best to grow. I canโt wait to do another one.

CalGonJim 4/10/24 this is a great experience. I canโt wait to grow another one very dense trichomes very dense bud absolutely perfect and as I mentioned, I donโt know if you see this in the others, but these are really in a class. Iโll buy themselves really spectacular.
I just finished three of the RQS F1s, Hyperion. Big yields and I prefer the smoke to their Milky way and Epsilon F1s. Medusa was big too, though I was less experienced back then and quite possibly I did her buds a disservice with rushed drying and the like.
