Dreamchvser Hey Guys :)
This is going to be my first grow and Iām super excited to share it with you.
I'm from Germany and the cultivation, possession and consumption of weed will be legal on April 1st.
After years of waiting, a dream is finally coming true and I am happy about everyone who accompanies me on this journey.
I started 3 seeds with the cotton pad method and 3 directly in soil, as I wanted to see which method works best for me.
All 6 seeds germinated after roughly the same amount of time. After 2 1/2 days I planted the 3 from the cotton pads into the cultivation box (forgot to take photos).
Light cycle is 18h on 6h off.
I used normal soil from the garden Center as I am still waiting for my grow tent and all the other equipment(it should arrive by Tuesday).
The cultivation box was like 10ā¬.
/update Day 3
All 6 of them are happy and showing there first leaves. I also opened the ventilation holes of the cultivation box and watered all 6 a little bit.
/update Day 5
Five of them grew a lot so I had to increase the height of the lamp. The smallest of the six was sadly injured in the process, but as im only going to plant 4 inside the tent itās still all good.
/update Day 9
The tent and all my other equipment finally arrived.
Today I transplanted all of them into 4L Pots with a mixture of 75% BioBizz Light Mix and 25% BioBizz Worm castings. I also used some HUBEY MT Mix and Nemabest.
Light is at 50% and at a distance of 30cm from the largest plant.
Still waiting for my humidifier, as my humidity is only at around 40%, current temp is 27C.
I look forward to every tip and helpful comment.
Iāll keep you updated :)

Dreamchvser Day 17 from planting seed
Plants are looking healthy and started to smell about 2 days ago.
I water them with 10% of their pot volume (400ml) every 3-4 days when the first 2-3cm of soil are dry to the touch.
BioBizz nutrients are used as recommended on their schedule, Iāll stop giving them root juice with the next feeding.
My second fan cloudray s6 arrived and is located at the top of the tent, Iām still waiting for my cloudforge t3 humidifier to complete my setup.
/Update Day 22 from planting seed
Bottom left one got some light yellow marks and hanging leaves, I think itās due to over feeding with fertiliser. Iāll feed them only water the next time and make sure I see a little bit of water dripping from the bottom of the pots.
Thanks for any advice :)

Dreamchvser Nutrient burn can be seen on 2 of the 4 plants, cuz I accidentally gave them too much nutrients last week. I watered them only with water today and tested ph level of the access water (ph 5.8), so i can correct it back to 6.5.
Today I also did LST and Topped them for the first time.
Middle one is going Outdoor tomorrow, as the weather will get better over the next weeks.
Leave Temperature 22-23C
Leave VPD is around 0.7 - 0.8 kPa
Tent VPD is around 1.10 - 1.20 kPa
/update Day 31
Looking much better and recovering slowly from the nutrient burn. I put the middle on my balcony and will see how this works out.
Accidentally broke off one of the fan leaves on one of the plants.
Today (after 5 Days) I only watered with no nutrients again to make sure they are good to go for the next nutrient feeding, currently I water till 10% runoff.
Since I put to light to 100% today, Itās getting a little hot in my room, so Iāll most likely get an ac unit to control temperature.
Leave Temperature 24-25C
Leave VPD is around 0.9 - 1.0kPa

All plants but one are doing pretty good and growing in different kind of ways.
Two pretty bushy plants with big leaves and one thatās not developing big fan leaves till now but is still growing nicely.
I sadly overwatered the smallest one last week, but sheās still giving her best to survive my mistakes.
I do light LST every morning and will report them into 19L next week. Not sure if should keep the small one in the 4L for now and repot her at later stage so she can recover.
I appreciate everyone helping me out or sharing advice
/update Day 36
Today I topped one of my ladies again, because I topped her wrong the first time she started developing the two tops a node lower. As the two fan leaves on top wonāt give her anything else than shadow I decided to cut that part.
I appreciate every advice šš¾

Today was transplant day. I transplanted them into 19L pots, only the smallest will remain in her 4L pot till sheās ready.
I also added Clips for LST and defoliated all bigger fan leaves that where burned or interrupting wind flow, light penetration.
I transplanted them in a mix of 30% all mix, 40% light mix and 30% worm castings, added mycorrhiza to roots and watered till runoff.
I always water the top soil with a spray bottle (1L) before continuing with a watering can.
Iāll continue with no nutrients as it seems they still got enough and will get more from the new soil mix.
I appreciate every advice

Plants had a little transplant shock from last week as they didnāt really grew much taller.
Iām not 100% satisfied with how the veg stage went so far, but I learned a lot and will do better next time.
I attached some gardening wire to some of the branches to create a more even canopy.
Havenāt watered since last Saturday (transplant) as the soil is still wet and starts to dry out slowly now.
Most likely Iāll flip them into flower in 2 weeks around Day 63.
I appreciate every advice šš¾

They recovered from their transplant shock and are growing fast, almost 10cm in 1 week,
Iāll flip them into flower next Saturday.
Even tho Iām wasnāt that happy with how the veg stage went at the beginning, I feel like they are really happy with their environment. Still havenāt solved the nutrient burn completely.. as Iām not really able to flush them with high ph water to balance the low ph soil.
Iām thankful for every advice šš¾

Today I switched my light cycle from 18/6 to 12/12. I did some minor lollipopping and defoliation on 3 of the 4 ladys.
After I noticed that one of them had very low hp, I flushed her till the run off was 6.5, now Iāll check her daily for needed nutrients after the flush.
I installed a trellis net and will even out the canopy over the next few days.
I appreciate every advice šš¾

Plants are looking healthy and strong, nutrient burn is slowly decreasing over time and they are still only fed with water ph 6.8 to decrease soil ph.
They started to form there first pistils, smell is increasing day by day and itās a lovely thing to see my own weed grow every day.
I water every 2-3 days (2-3L), they got really thirsty in flower.
I appreciate everyone commenting or giving me advice āŗļø

Dreamchvser They didnāt grew a lot from last week, but Iāll keep feeding them only with water.
Maybe Iāll top dress them with fresh soil in the next few days, so Iām not giving them too much nutrients at once again.

Dreamchvser I was on a trip for work for 2 days, I tried my best to take care of everything before I went. They still got damaged cuz of underwatering.. also Iām not quite sure if they are underfertalized because of all the flushing for the right ph I did.
They started to develop droopy yellow leaves that are pretty soft to the touch and donāt crunch up at the tips like they first did from nutrient burn.
I gave them a top dress today with a mixture of 25% worm castings and 75% all mix, hopefully this will stabilise them.
I would really appreciate some help in this case, as Iām not sure if itās caused by nutrient deficiency or nutrient burn.
Also I wanted to do a big defoliation and lollipoping this week, but I feel like I first should solve the nutrient problem, so I donāt start damaging the top growth.

Dreamchvser Hello Friends šš¾
I had a few problems with nutrient deficiency as you could see last week, I managed to solve the issue. I started feeding them nutrients again, as they really started growing fast.
I did a lot of defoliation and lollipoping today, as I want the plant to focus all its energy to the top.
They drink roughly 3-4L every 3-4 days, I increased my VPD to 1.3 and will go up to 1.4 in 2 weeks, shortly before flushing. Iāll lower the feeding to 2L and will check how long it lasts.
Thanks for all your advice and feedback so far āŗļø I appreciate every single one following my journey

Dreamchvser Not much to say this week, they are thickening day to day, not as much as I wish they would but still more then happy with how my first grow is going so far.
I increased their nutrients as they started into week 6 of flower.
Thanks for your help with the potassium deficiency over the last week, appreciate everyone helping me out āŗļø

Dreamchvser We are getting close to the finish š Iām really happy with how the flower went at the end, as the ladyās are really growing bricks
Buds are really hard to the touch, one smells really earthy with a touch of diesel, one smells like bubblegum mixed with lemon and two smell like pure juicy lemon diesel. I really didnāt except this, but the smell is incredible and the bud structure too.
Iāll start flushing as soon as most of them are milky, I also thought about giving them 3 days of pure darkness at the end, but not sure yet.
Thanks for all your advice and feedback so far :)

Dreamchvser Hey guys :)
My first run is nearly complete, I started flushing this week. Ill also give them 2 to 3 days of complete darkness at the end to slowly start the drying process in soil.
Iām more then happy how it turned out so far, one of them is also starting to turn a little purple.
Got one lady that has the big ass fox tails, one with fluffy buds and two with very dense rock hard buds.
Trichomes are starting to turn cloudy, but most of them were still clear last time Iāve checked.
Iāll turn the lights for them off as soon as they are cloudy with some of them being amber.
Still looking forward for every advice for the end stages :) thanks all of yall

Dreamchvser I think this should be the last week of flower, as the trichomes are almost completely cloudy and some start to turn a light amber.
Iāll let them sleep in complete darkness for two days at the end of week to slowly start the drying process and push some colour.
Iām more then satisfied with how my first run turned out so far, I could have done a lot of thing better, but Iām still happy with the end result.
I learned a lot from my first grow, also with your help :) Thanks to everyone who was giving me advice or helping me out with my questions
I really wouldnāt have thought, that special queen 1 has such an amazing smell, itās crazy how different all 4 smell and feel. Four completely different phenotypes, but really happy with every single one of them.
Update Day 119/
Harvest
Today I cut the plants and hang them in my grow tent for drying, trying to get around 60% humidity and 20C. Fans on level 3 one on the top one at the bottom.
Iāll update as soon as they are dry

Special queen #1 it was a real pleasure to grow soy as my first plant. I learned a lot and will definitely do better next time, still Iām more the satisfied with my first grow.
I can definitely recommend special queen #1 as a first growers choice, even tho I wouldnāt grow it again. All four plants smell and taste completely different, I really enjoy the phenotypes.
Now for the dry weight Iām a 90x90cm tent with 240w (no popcorn buds):
45G (Really Dank and kush type smell)
40G (Really sweet almost bubblegum like smell)
29G (Really Dark Pine like smell, with Diesel)
17G (Sad one I over fed doesnāt smell so nice)
I destroyed everything above 100g as we are only two people and a max of 50g per person is allowed.
Iāll let them cure in mason jars for 2 months at 62% humidity in my closet.
Thanks for everyone following and helping me on my journey :) I appreciate every single one of you

GlĆ¼ckwunsch aus dem Rheinland. Das sind wunderschƶne Buds. Special Queen #1 hat mich auch reich beschenkt. Farbe, Geruch und Geschmack sind schon ohne AushƤrten beeindruckend. Das Preis-/LeistungsverhƤltnis dieser Sorte ist unglaublich. Ich habe sie auch noch als Freisamen bekommen.
