Orion F1 - Farm #16

Hello Diary, The first week of vegetation on the "Farm" has ended and what marked this week were certainly the new lights that arrived, Migro Aray 4. Until now, I used lights from the same manufacturer and now I got a new version. The lights fit perfectly and now the coverage of the space with the appropriate light output is much better. As you can see in the photos, the plants are developing nicely. They have doubled in size in a week and have already reached 10 cm. In the middle is one Cosmos F1 plant that keeps them company, while the other two are Orion F1 plants that are almost identical. They have started to put out twigs and new leaves so they are growing really fast at this stage. Watering is still not frequent, every 4-5 days. I read a couple of recommendations that it is advisable to add CalMg to plants that are exposed to light. So now, from the first week of vegetation, I started adding CalMg as a preventive measure. The pH level I'm still lowering with Plagron's Lemon kick. Here's how it looked this week. 02/02/2024 - Day 1. The official start of the vegetation phase. As soon as the plant gets at least 4 leaves, the real vegetation begins. I photographed the plants and measured the height. Orion F1 #1 - 5 cm Orion F1 #2 - 4.5 cm 03/02/2024 - Day 2. Watering. I prepared three liters of water and watered all three plants on the farm. I don't give them too much water at this stage. 07/02/2024 - Day 6. Watering. I prepared 6 liters of water, added 1ml/L of CalMg and watered all three plants with that amount. I changed the lights, the Migro Aray arrived on the 4th and I am very happy about it. 08/02/2024 - Day 7. Photographing and measuring the height of plants. The first week of vegetation has ended. Orion F1 #1 - 9.5 cm Orion F1 #2 - 10 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary, The second week of vegetation on my little "Farm" has ended. Both plants are doing great, they've got loads of new leaves, the branches are forming nicely and they've started to form what will soon be flowers. They grew 15 cm in a week, which is really fast. Otherwise, the plants look almost identical, so I mostly photographed one plant, while I only took a few photos for the other, purely for comparison. As of the beginning of this week, I changed the light regime to 6/18. Watering is approximately every 3-4 days, which is usual at this stage of development, while the plants are not too big. I continued to add CalMg, 1ml/L at each watering and added Bigger Flowers once this week from the Bio Flowering Booster range. Here's what it looked like last week. 09/02/2024 - Day 8. I changed the light regime to 18/6 and watered the plants with less water. About 1 liter for each plant. 13/02/2024 - Day 12. Watering. I prepared 6 liters of water, I added 1 ml/Lit CalMg, 0.5 ml/L Bigger flowers and after that I lowered the pH. on 6.0. I watered all three plants on the Farm with that amount. 15/02/2024 - Day 14. Photographing and measuring the height of plants. Orion F1 #1 - 26 cm Orion F1 #2 - 26 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary, It is the end of the third week of vegetation and Orion F1 enters the flowering phase. It has started to form flowers which is normal considering the age of the plants. They formed nicely, they doubled in size in a week and have now reached almost 50 cm in height. They have taken their future shape and now I hope they will spend all their energy on the fruits. I still continue to add CalMg at every watering, so far I don't see any signs that they are missing anything. Watering is every four days where I slowly increase the amount of water as they grow. Here's how it looked this week. 16/02/2024 - Day 15. Watering. I prepared 6 liters of water, I put 1 ml/L CalMg and 0.5 ml/L Bigger flowers. After that I regulated the pH. on 6.0. 20/02/2024 - Day 19. Watering. I also prepared 6 liters of water, put in one tablet of Easy Grow booster and added CalMg 1ml/L. 22/02/2024 - Day 21. Photographing and measuring the height of plants. Orion F1 #1 - 48 cm Orion F1 #2 - 46 cm That's all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.

Hello Diary, On my small farm, the first week of flowering has ended. Orion F1 is full of small newly formed flowers. In the photos, you can clearly see how she has improved her shape and now she should direct all her energy into the development of flowers. The plants grew about 25 cm this week, so at the very beginning of the week I cleaned the lower part of the plant of leaves and twigs and thus let them breathe a little. So far everything looks great, the leaves are a healthy dark green color and the plants look happy. I continue to add CalMg, Bio Flowering Booster when watering, which has become a little more frequent. Here's what it looked like last week: 24/02/2024 - Day 23. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, added CalMg and lowered the pH to 6.0. I watered all three plants on the farm with that amount. 28/02/2024 - Day 27. Watering. I repeated the same amount of water, added CalMg and lowered the pH to 6.0. 29/02/2024 - Day 28. Photographing and measuring plants for the end of the 4th week. Orion F1 #1 - 75 cm Orion F1 #2 - 67 cm That's all for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary, The second week of flowering is over, both Orion F1s are making great progress. The flowers are developing well, the first visible trichomes have appeared and with them a scent that was not present until now. They have slowed down in growth, this week only 5 cm, which means that they have approximately reached their maximum height. I continued adding nutrients, CalMg at each watering and Bio Flowering Booster. Watering is still every 4 days. Orions are slightly different in structure, i.e. shape, but the flowers and leaves show that it is the same strain. Here's what it looked like last week: 03/03/2024 - Day 31. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, added 1.2 ml/L of CalMg and Bio Flowering Booster as recommended for the second week of flowering. 06/03/2024 - Day 34. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 07/03/2024 - Day 35. Photographing and measuring plants, the official end of the second week of flowering. Orion F1 #1 - 80 cm Orion F1 #2 - 70 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary, The third week of flowering on my small farm has ended. Both Orions F1 are progressing very nicely. They differ slightly in the structure of the plant, there is a 10 cm difference in height and as you can see in the photos, one has extended its branches more widely while the other has taken on the appearance of a Christmas tree. I document the left plant in more detail, while the second one much less, mainly for comparison with the first Orion F1. The plants have more or less reached their maximum height, the difference is only a few centimeters from last week. They have also formed their final shape and now the flowers are beginning to cover the ends of the branches. The flowers are already a little sticky to the touch, and they also started to smell much more intense. They are hard to the touch, which makes me especially happy. On the lower part of the plant, some leaves have started to turn yellow with a brown spot here and there. It is probably a lack of potassium, so in the next waterings I will increase it with Thicker Flowers because it is also a PK booster. I have removed the yellow leaves so now I will observe what happens. I continue to add CalMg with each watering and with it Bigger flower and the already mentioned Thicker flowers from the Bio Flowering Booster set. I also added two drops of SuperVit. Watering is every 4 days, sometimes I water on the third day after the last watering. Here's a quick recap of the week. 10/03/2024 - Day 38. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, put in 7 ml of CalMg, 7 ml of Bigger Flowers and 3.5 ml of Thicker Flowers. After that I regulated the pH. on 6.0. With that amount, I watered all three plants evenly. 13/03/2024 - Day 41. Watering. The same amount of water but this time I only put CalMg and two drops of SuperVit. I also lowered the p.H. on 6.0. 14/03/2024 - Day 42. Photographing and measuring the plant. Official end of the 6th week. Orion F1 #1 - 81 cm Orion F1 #2 - 72 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon and thank you all for your support.

Hello Diary, The 4th week of flowering has ended, both Orion F1s are in full bloom. The leaves on the lower part of the plant have started to turn yellow, I think it's a lack of potassium, so I've been busy this week fixing the situation. Thicker Flowers, one of the three components of the Bio Flowering Booster is also a PK Booster, so when watering I slightly increased the dose of Thicker Flowers to increase the dose of potassium. At the end of the week, I removed the yellowed leaves so that I could better monitor whether I had prevented further yellowing of the leaves. But other than that, the Orions are developing great. As you can see in the photos, the plants are of different structure, the flowers on Orion #2 are bigger and harder and I'm really interested in how much the yield will differ in the end. The flowers are large, hard and very sticky to the touch, already completely covered with trichomes. The plants have stopped growing in height, they have reached their maximum and now let them direct all their energy into the fruits :). Watering is more frequent, now every three days. I continued to add CalMg and the previously mentioned Bio Flowering Booster. Here is a quick overview of the week 16/03/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, poured 7 ml of CalMg, 6 ml of Bigger Flowers and 10 ml of Thicker Flowers. After that I lowered the pH. at 6.0 with Lemon Kick. I watered all three plants on the farm with that amount. 19/03/2024 - Day 47. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 21/03/2024 - Day 49. End of the seventh week. Photographing but before that I removed the yellow leaves from the plant. That's all from me for this week. See you soon.

Hello Diary, We are approaching the end, more precisely we have reached the end of the 8th week or 5 weeks of flowering. Both Orion F1's are so beautiful that I had to photograph them against a black background even though they are not yet ready for harvest. A few leaves on both plants turned a little yellow and got brown spots, but not as much as their roommate Cosmos F1. Nothing to worry about, at the end of each week I remove a couple of such leaves. As you can see in the photos, the plants are truly beautiful, each in its own way. The flowers are large and hard, especially on the upper branches, full of trichomes and very very sticky to the touch. I'm really interested in the yield, normally I don't think about it ahead of time, but this time I'm really curious. I check them with a microscope every few days and some trichomes have started to be milky. Watering is every three days, they still drink a lot of water. At the beginning of the week, I added additives to the water for the last time, since it is coming to an end, I would like clean water for the last couple of waterings. Here's a quick recap of the week. 22/03/2024 - Day 50. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water and last time I added CalMg and Bio Flowering Booster, I lowered the pH as always to 6.0 I watered all three plants on the Farm with that amount. 25/03/2024 - Day 53. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and watered all three plants with that amount. 28/03/2024 - Day 56. Photo shoot for the end of the 8th week. That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary, Both Orions F1 were harvested, the last day of the 9th week was their last day. The 63rd day from the beginning of the vegetation, or 68 days from when they sprouted. I photographed them again on a black background, they look incomparably more beautiful than in the grow box and the details are more visible. The photos say it all, both Orion F1's turned out great, I'm very happy with the outcome. The flowers are thick and hard, and very sticky under the fingers. Orions are slightly different in structure, but the structure of the flowers is almost the same. The first Orion has slightly more yellowish leaves, which is the result of a lack of potassium, it is unusual for me that the second Orion did not show these signs and they had the same treatment. This week I did not add any more additives to the water when watering, I just lowered the pH. he 6.0. 02/04/2024 was the last watering. After photographing the plants, I removed most of the leaves and cut them off at the base of the stem. After that, I hung them vertically in the grow box to dry, along with their roommate Cosmos F1. Here's what the last week looked like. 29/03/2024 - Day 57. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered the pH. at 6.0 and watered all three plants on the farm evenly with that amount. 02/04/2024 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as a couple of days earlier. 04/04/2024 - Day 63. Photographing the plants after which I harvested it and hung it upside down in the grow box to dry. That's it for this week. In the final report I will say a little more about the overall impression of the whole trip. Of course with the final smoke report. Now they have to dry for at least two weeks. Thank you all for your support and comments, it's great to be part of this community.

Hello Diary, At the end of this trip I can be more than satisfied. Orion F1 hybrid proved to be a great choice for all autoflower lovers like me. More or less all the information is there in the diary, if anyone has any questions, I am available. It's nice to have a platform like this that has created a community that supports each other. 71 days after sprouting they were ready to harvest, and don't think that because of that speed the quality of the fruits is less, in fact, big, hard and juicy fruits filled my jars. After harvesting, they were dried for 16 days turned upside down in a grow box. Before that, I removed the large leaves so that after drying I had an easier job of trimming. Finally, the final yield: Orion F1 #1 - 67 g. Orion F1 #2 - 68 g. I have been growing only F1 strains for the last year and I can say that the team at RQS did a great job. I hope that as many of you as possible will try and try these great strains. Thank you all for your support and advice. See you soon on some new trips.
