Insane4twenty Hello and welcome to my first grow ever, and with a little luck the first legal harvest in Germany. ð
Since, like every newbie, I can hardly wait to hold the first self-produced Nugs in my hands, I decided on Autoflowers. And not just any Autoflowers but RQS Epsilon F1 part of "the world's first true F1 hybrid cannabis seeds, which produce a stable, uniform crop every time."
We'll see RQS ð its supposed to be the fastest Autoflower in their entire F1 lineup.
I'm excited to see if RQS will deliver what they promised.
I sowed the seeds directly in RQS Soil Plugs, watered them and kept them under a Humidity Dome, at 23C and humidity of 85%, it took almost 72 hours for the seedling to pop its head out of the soil. After another 24 hours in the humidity dome, I planted the seedlings in 11L (3gal) fabric pots that were filled with BioBizz Lightmix soil. I watered the soil 72 hours beforehand to activate the soil life.

Insane4twenty Hello Growmies!ð
Its End of Veg Week 1!
Since it's my first grow I can't judge how quickly they develop but I'm surprised by the speedðģ. On day 8 I watered 2L per plant, unfortunately I had problems with algae due to the high humidity, so I loosened the top 2cm of soil so that it could dry out better. I will definitely wait a while before watering, but otherwise it was a quiet first week without any problems.
I changed the light cycle from 18/6 to 20/4 but I will wait before increasing the light intensity later to avoid too much stress.

Insane4twenty Hey Growmies, End of Veg Week 2
I'm still totally amazed at how quickly these plants gain mass. This week I gradually increased the light intensity from 40-60%, measured again with a Photone iPhone14Pro with a self-made diffuser. The plants received slightly more light than they should with PPFD 400 and 30 DLI, but I didn't notice any slowdown in growth or light stress.
The plant developed so well that I decided to start with LST earlier than planned, namely at the end of this week with slight bending.
I noticed from other grow reports here that many of the Epsilon F1s start to pre-flower and stretch at the end of the 3rd week of veg so I wanted to start LST as early as possible. The relative humidity was reduced from 80 to 70% and a VPD of 0.70 - 0.90 kPa was targeted. Now as the leaf mass increases I will increase the temperatures to 25-28 C during the day.

Insane4twenty This week on day 28 I noticed preflowering and brown spots on the leaf tips, at first I suspected calcium deficiency but it turned out it was magnesium deficiency.
I have a negative Cal/Mag ratio and enrich my nutrient solution with Canna Mono Magnesium 7% until it is 4:1 and then with BioBizz Calmag up to 80ml/L Calcium in the Veg
100ml/l in the early flower and 120ml/l in the late flower..
Either I noticed the signs of pre-flowering too late or the plants went into flowering so quickly that I should have increased the Calmag earlier by using organic fertilizer, as it takes a few days until it is fully available to the plants.

Insane4twenty This week was characterized by troubleshooting and fixing the magnesium deficiencies.
I used 2 times BioBizz Alg-A-Mic 1ml and 1ml Canna Mono Magnesium mixed as foliar fertilizer before the lights went out
The Alg-A-Mic took effect the next day and slightly yellowed leaf corners turned green again.
In addition, I started fertilizing according to the BioBizz scheme for flowering week 1.
Unfortunately, the plants clearly showed stress in the form of eagle claws.
I increased also the Light to 100% and 45DLI

Insane4twenty The plants are still ailing from the effects of the magnesium deficiency but they have not stopped growing and the flowers are getting bigger every day.
I started to feed after BioBizz Week 3, next week I will skip one week at a time and fertilize directly week 5 because of the short flowering time of the strain.

Insane4twenty Due to the heavy rain of the last few days, I'm having problems maintaining the perfect VPD because the humidity in the lung room doesn't drop below 55% despite the dehumidifier.
Light intensity increased to 50DLI

Insane4twenty Since I can no longer get the humidity below 58% and the rust spots on some of the sugar leaves are getting bigger, I decided to harvest . Unfortunately I couldn't wait for the perfect time, so luckily I don't have any clear trichomes , about 75% cloudy ones and the rest amber. 67 Day's from Seed to Harvest
Chapeau Royal Queen Seeds! I looked for a small easy and fast to grow strain with a good yield and some nice terps and u guys delivered!
As my first Indoor Grow it was a great easy Grow !
I had 3 plants with LST in a 60x60 grow box and as described by RQS this strain is very compact 44cm, hardly smells at all, I only needed an carbon filter in the last 2 weeks of the grow . As a beginner I often stressed this plant with a wrong VPD too much Light in the Veg and despite a magnesium deficiency which cost me some yield I harvested 125 grams dry with 3 plants in 11L . I can highly recommend this strain to every stealth grower!

Insane4twenty Harvest Week!
Finished my first legal Indoor Grow in Germany in 67 Days from Seed to Harvest
After 4 weeks of curing in Grovebags with 62% humidity, I tried the first buds, smoked them and vaped them. Because the humidity was too high, I harvested a little earlier with about 70% cloudy and 30% amber.
Sour earthy taste (myrcene) when inhaling and a berry-flowery taste (linalool) when exhaling that leaves a sweet lemony citrus taste on the lips like homemade lemonade with a few sprinkles of pepper.
You can taste and notice the sour citrus notes from the Amnesia Haze and it gives the brain a workout with a strong uplifting creative high ,while your physically relax at the same time . I you smoke more of it it gives you a couchlock at the end with a , very long-lasting effect.
Very nice Terpene Profile
