RQS Easy Bud – German Outdoor Grow | Low Effort Run

L1lium In the first few weeks, you couldn't complain. The weather mostly cooperated, and the young plants had good growing conditions.

L1lium Here you can see in the video slight mold formation on the substrate. Obviously, I watered too much at the beginning and didn't take the high humidity into account.

L1lium So this is how things have been in the third to fourth week. Up until that point, normal growth, some nice leaves, but still a somewhat unstable and thin main stem.

L1lium Here you can still see: too much water, the substrate was permanently moist. I tried to fix this mistake in the following weeks by watering less.

L1lium Here the fun is slowly starting, you can tell that the growth is really picking up. Every day new pairs of leaves and easily 1-3cm of daily growth.

L1lium Extremely fast and strong growth. The transition to the flowering phase is done. The plants have easily doubled in size in a week. The buds are still very sparse and small. I hadn't fertilized up until that point. However, this week I used homemade organic fertilizer made from banana peels and boiled vegetable water :D

L1lium The first yellow leaves are coming in below, and you can tell that the energy is going into the flowering; the buds are getting thicker and stickier. I estimate about 1 1/2 weeks until harvest. Unfortunately, the weather is catastrophic; I'm hoping for an improvement.

L1lium Week 8: - At the beginning of the week, I lightly started to trim some plants. - Yellow leaves or leaves that are far down have been evened out. - Three out of five plants are developing super well. - Little to no fertilization with a random flower fertilizer that I received as a gift. I think next week or the week after, I will start flushing the three more advanced ones: Luzia, Frieda & Greta. The plants on the outer side of the tent: Frieda & Hermine are lagging behind, developing well, but still need at least another week longer than their sisters. The smell is slowly taking on some sweet and strong notes. The sizes of the plants are quite different, Luzia at nearly 90cm is right at the top, while the others range between 70-100cm, MUCH bigger than expected. The biggest problem at the moment: space. The seedlings for the next run have already been planted, this time there will only be 4 plants and definitely a bigger setup. I'm excited :) Final stretch!

L1lium Hi! Week 9: - Slight purpling on the leaves, indicating cold protection (very cold temperatures at the moment). But I think they'll manage! :D - No fertilizer, just pure, clear water in preparation for the harvest. - After some consideration, I've decided to harvest all the plants at the same time so that I have plants in different stages of their flowering, which I find really interesting. - I'll cut down the three ripe ones in 2 weeks; by that time, the outer plants will probably still have very milky trichomes, but that's exactly what I want. Addition: The plants are currently only getting regular tap water for flushing. There's also more water than usual. Shortly after uploading this week, I pruned all the plants further since some plants have started to drop more leaves. This coming Sunday, I'll decide whether to harvest the plants or wait another week. PEACE That's the current plan.

L1lium FINALE!!! Just in time for the start of the Euro Championship, my five Easy Buds from RQS are entering the final phase of their flowering. This week I've already started to water and flush extensively, prune the plants one more time, and preparations for drying have been made. I'm really looking forward to the drying process because the buds can really show what they're made of, and the smell is very promising—earthy, spicy, and skunk-ish. I believe this week the pictures and videos speak more than my words. As you can easily see, two of the five girls are still in an earlier flowering stage, but that doesn't bother me. In the coming weeks, I will happily be trimming the little trees, which means next week you'll already find the report about the harvest here. See you then! =)))

L1lium It's time! On Friday, I cut and harvested the five Easy Buds after almost 11 1/2 weeks. Unfortunately, I had to notice that one plant was quite heavily infested. I suspect a type of mite or possibly fly eggs. Underneath the leaves, there were several dark yellow and dark brown eggs that were hardly noticeable at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, you can see that the infestation had spread to the whole plant. Fortunately, the other four plants were spared. For this reason, I am drying the plants separately. I didn't want to throw away the infested plant right away; I wanted to let it dry first. Afterwards, I'll see how I can possibly mitigate the damage. The four healthy plants are being dried in a closed tent in a drying bag. I hung the infested plant in the plastic tent and covered it with a tarp. After a few days of drying, everything actually looks good so far. The eggs seem to no longer be hatching but are falling off the buds or shriveling into compost. I hope it stays that way. The smell has changed significantly after cutting. Even after the short drying time, I can notice a more intense smell that is hard to describe. The buds were heavily intertwined with the so-called "Sugar Leaves," which is why I roughly trimmed them to hang them up for drying. Once the buds are completely dry, I will trim them individually again and run them through my trimming machine from Vevor. The harvesting process took about an hour with two people. The plants were still very healthy and vigorous at the time of harvest. The root system was very good despite the closed pot. The prettiest bud definitely came from the central plant, Greta. When wet, I would have estimated the bud at least 12 g. I did not determine the total weight of the wet plant material. Once everything is dry and properly trimmed, I will update the diary with the dry amount. As of now, I would estimate that the yield from all plants is around 40-50 g, which makes me quite satisfied for my first grow, especially considering this really very simple strain. More info and photos will follow shortly when the curing begins. See you soon! :)
