These will grow on east and west facing windowsills. I added 25g/9l (pot size) of RQS Easy Boost to the earth. Earth is Neudorff NeudoHum Universalerde (lightly pre-fertilized). Most of these germinated after 4 days. For germination and the week after these were watered by spraying 2-3 times a day.

Day 21 after germination Purple Queen Auto had quite some problems and is pretty stunted. It was treated the same as every other plant, but for some reason didn't develop as well. It seems to start to rapidly recover now. There were 2 aphids on the Purple Queen Auto and one thrips (is this singular?) on the Royal Jack Auto. 3 days prior to the photos all plants were sprayed with neem oil solution twice (about 10ml/l) and watered a bit (because they have been watered the day before) with neem oil solution (also 10ml/l). This resulted in quite unhappy plants with droopy leaves, but they recovered after 2 days and now look great. No fertilizer has been added since mixing in some with the soil and water had to be given seldomly (once a week). This seems to be on the verge of changing, the Northern Lights Auto will probably need watering more often now. Northern Lights Auto and Royal Jack seem to be the most promising ones. More leaves and thicker stems compared to the other ones.

Don't need that much more water. I have added nutrients to the water with target of a bit over 1 mS/cm. This is way less than what's on the packaging (maybe 1/4). The Northern Light Auto seems to be on the verge of flowering. For the rest is it not that clear, but they also seem to go in that direction quickly.

Haven't updated in a while and forgot quite some information. All plants are now in the flowering stage with Quick One being the furthest ahead closely followed by the Northern Light Auto. Some health problems on Quick One and Royal CBG. Both show yellow leaves in the lower parts. I suspected it to be a nitrogen deficiency and used 3ml/l of the Substral nutrients (vegetation). This call may have been correct for the Quick One, but the Royal CBG is probably overwatered or overfed as she is also showing clawing of some leaves pointing to nitrogen toxicity from what I've read. All plants (except the Royal CBG) drink more now, I have to water twice a week with about 1-2l per plant per watering. The Royal CBG drinks less and seems to be stunted a bit. Let's see if she will recover. The Purple Queen recovered quite well overall, but it is definitely the smallest plant. The Quick One had a thrips again a few weeks back and I treated it with Lambda-Cyhalothrin (Compo BI 58 N) on the foliage and half an hour later showered the whole plant with tap water. I hope that this is not a health hazard, but I suspect it's okay because Lambda-Cyhalothrin doesn't seem to be that stable after googling it and it still has multiple weeks until harvest. I can't detect milky trichomes yet on any plant.

Had a hard time with this one (first grow, but all other strains work out better than this one). Was constantly having trouble with plant not drinking and leaves yellowing during flowering, but that may also have been my fault, who knows.

I harvested it, because it did not progress any further. Most of the fan leaves were dead and it was drinking almost nothing. It still had more white pistils than I would've liked, but all trichomes were really cloudy. The buds are a bit airy and small, but that's alright for the worst plant out of my first grow.

Had trouble with thrips at the beginning, apart from that it was a great and easy plant to grow. Only the promise of being really quick didn't hold up at all for me (as fast as all other five strains I'm growing right now, only harvested early due to showing nanners).

Can someone point me to an alternative to Growdiaries thats good? I have trouble with saving stuff sometimes and it also doesn't really cater to my needs that much. I am annoyed by it not showing me exact dates, wanting information that I can't give ... 8 characters left ...

i keep a little spreadsheet that has the dates and number of days (total and bloom) with a notes section. Even a column i can mark when i irrigated. Saved a template of it and re-use it for each grow. Can easily keep pictures in folders named for each week etc... I've got a 'digital clipboard' archived for all but 1 or 2 grows i've ever done. I'm not a picture guy, so not many of those but some are archived just as a reminder of development and different things that are possible to see while growing weed. Never have to worry about the website working or shutting down if it's on your own pc/laptop/phone. lots of grow sites have grow-journal forums but it's not cookie cutter like GD. it's never showed exact dates, so put them in the comments section of weekly diary post.

Schöne Sortenauswahl. Quick One und Royal CBG habe ich im letzten Jahr auch angebaut. Das lief unkompliziert. Northern Lights steht noch auf meiner Liste. Aber für diese Sommersaison habe ich bereits genug am Start :-). Viel Erfolg weiter. Gerne schaue ich ab und zu vorbei.

@Sejanus21, die Northern Light ist bis jetzt die Einfachste und Größte der Pflanzen. Kann ich also empfehlen
