RQS Orion F1 & Sweet Pure Auto CBD

Left: Orion F1 by RQS Right: Sweet Pure Auto CBD by SweetSeeds Week 1: Sprouting Life 🌱 Week 1 in the books, and the babies are off to a solid start! Both plants are standing proud at about 7 cm tall, showing off their first sets of leaves like little champs. 🌿 I’ve been giving them around 130ml of water daily, just enough to keep the LightMix soil moist but not soaked. Gotta make sure those roots dig deep and get comfy in their new homes. The ViparSpectra P600 is still doing its thing, keeping the light gentle but effective as they stretch out and grow. On the downside, temperatures have been creeping up a bit – hitting as high as 31°C at times, which is pushing the limits of what’s ideal. I’m keeping a close eye on it because I know we’re playing with fire at those temps. But hey, these little fighters are still pushing through strong. Looking ahead, I’ve got topping on my mind. 🌿✂️ If all goes well, I’ll probably top both ladies sometime next week to promote more bushy growth and maximize those potential bud sites. Just need to make sure they’re ready for it! Keeping my eyes on their progress before making that move. Next step: dialing in that environment a little better. Gonna look into some more ventilation and maybe tweak the light intensity if needed. No one said growing was easy, but I’m up for the challenge! Watering per plant: Day 1: 100ml Day 2: 100ml Day 3: / Day 4: 250ml Day 5: / Day 6: 500ml Day 7: /

Both plants are really taking off, showing solid progress and loving their new space. 🌿 By Day 11, I decided it was time to top them, and they handled it like pros. No stunted growth or hesitation – they just kept going strong! I even started mainlining on Day 12 to get that structured growth going, aiming for max colas and bud production down the line. ✂️🔥 One thing that’s got me scratching my head, though – they’re still drinking pretty lightly, only about 220ml a day, which seems a bit odd. Maybe they’re focusing more energy on root development right now. I’m keeping the watering light to avoid overdoing it and letting them find their rhythm. 🤔 On the plus side, temps are finally dropping a bit, which is a relief. 🌡️ No more of those 31°C peaks, so I’m hoping they’ll stay nice and comfy as we go into the next phase. The topping and mainlining are definitely gonna pay off, but I’m keeping a close eye on them to make sure they handle the stress well. So far, so good – these ladies didn’t miss a beat and just kept growing immediately after topping. Fingers crossed for more explosive growth ahead! Watering per plant: Day 8: / Day 9: 400ml Day 10: 600ml Day 11: / (Topping) Day 12: 600ml Day 13: / Day 14: /

Left: Orion F1 by RQS Right: Sweet Pure Auto CBD by SweetSeeds Week 3: Last of the Training & Entering Pre-Flower 🌸 Week 3 is wrapping up, and both ladies are still pushing along! They’ve upped their water intake to around 420ml a day, so they’re definitely getting thirstier as they prepare for the next phase. 💧 I’ve been working on mainlining to maximize those colas, but each plant has its own pace: the SweetSeeds Pure Auto CBD is growing fast, reaching for that light and spreading out quickly, while the Royal Queen Seeds Orion F1 is taking a slower, bushier route. 🧘‍♀️🌱 With the SweetSeeds plant growing a little too aggressively, I topped two of its side colas to keep it more compact – they were taking up way too much space! This should help keep the canopy balanced and keep things in check as we enter the next stage. Meanwhile, I’ve also been defoliating both plants to improve airflow and help that light reach all the important spots. 🌞 I did notice some yellowing on the leaf tips of the Orion F1, which has me on alert. Not totally sure what’s behind it yet, but I’ll be watching closely next week to catch any early signs of nutrient or light issues. ⚠️ Now, with Day 21 here, I’ve wrapped up mainlining to let them both focus on building out those branches as we head toward flowering. It’s almost showtime – fingers crossed for a smooth transition into pre-flower! 🌸✨ Watering per plant: Day 15: 1L Day 16: / Day 17: 1L Day 18: / Day 19: / Day 20: 1L Day 21: /

Left: Orion F1 by RQS Right: Sweet Pure Auto CBD by SweetSeeds Week 4: Stretching & Slowing Down 🌱🌸 Week 4 brought some interesting developments in the grow room! I’ve been keeping up with defoliation, trimming both plants to keep things tidy and let the light penetrate deeper into the canopy. Everything seemed fine until a couple of days in, when I noticed something unusual – the SweetSeeds Sweet Pure Auto CBD is hitting its bloom stretch hard, growing fast and already showing signs of flowering. 🌸 Meanwhile, the Royal Queen Seeds Orion F1 is... not quite keeping up. The Orion F1 seems to be in slow-mo compared to its tent mate. It’s growing way slower and much bushier, without a single sign of pistils or bloom yet. 🤔 Definitely a bit behind schedule while the Sweet Pure is charging into the flowering stage like a beast! 🌿 Despite this, I’ve been defoliating both plants throughout the week to keep airflow strong, especially as that moisture likes to collect in those bushy spots. I’m thinking of tying down the Orion F1 a bit more to spread it out and keep the airflow better, since that dense structure is trapping moisture inside and I want to avoid any potential issues. The plan is to keep a close eye on that slow growth and hope the Orion F1 catches up soon. The Sweet Pure is doing its thing with no issues, so fingers crossed for a bloom explosion from both of them soon! 🤞✨ Watering per plant: Day 22: / Day 23: 1L (2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max) Day 24: / Day 25: / Day 26: 1L (2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max) Day 27: Day 28: 1L (2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max)

Left: Orion F1 by RQS Right: Sweet Pure Auto CBD by SweetSeeds Week 5: Different Speeds, Same Goals 🌱🌸 Week 5, and it’s clear these ladies are running on their own timelines! The SweetSeeds Sweet Pure Auto CBD is charging ahead, stretching up so quickly that I had to bring in a SCROG net to keep it in check. The net’s helping spread her out and keep those colas evenly distributed as she reaches for the sky! 🌞 Meanwhile, the Orion F1 from Royal Queen Seeds is on a bit of a different pace – comparing pictures, it looks like it’s about 10 days behind. Still, it’s growing steadily, just slower and shorter. The Orion F1 is getting super bushy, so I went in and defoliated again to help that moisture escape, and airflow is back to normal. No more trapped humidity issues in there! 🌬️ With colder days rolling in, the temperature is dropping slightly, which seems to be helping both plants stay comfortable. Sweet Pure is drinking around 700ml daily now, while the Orion F1 is still taking things slow with about 420ml a day. Definitely a difference, but slow and steady wins the race – both are putting out strong growth in their own ways. No doubt, these two plants are going to be special in their own right. Just letting them do their thing as we move forward. Excited to see what each of them brings to the table! ✌️💚 Watering per plant: Day 29: Day 30: 2x 1L - (per L = 2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max & 2ML Bio Grow) Day 31: / Day 32: 2x 1L - (per L = 2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max & 2ML Bio Grow) Day 33: 1.5L (Sweet) - (per L = 2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max & 2ML Bio Grow) Day 34: / Day 35: 1.5L (Sweet) / 1L (Orion) - (per L = 2ML Bio Bloom & 1ML Top Max & 2ML Bio Grow)
