Autoflo RQS special queen 1 and do-si-dos

G_abitbol It’s a first indoor grow for me. I did one successful balcony grow with both autoflower and photoperiodic plants. I tried one guerilla grow last spring which wasn’t successful (better do photoperiodic in guerilla). Now I‘m giving a try for an indoor grow, i tried to keep it as cheap and simple as possible. I‘m using spider farmer sf-2000 which i heard is capable. The rest of the material is as cheap as it gets on temu. I found a good Vevor inline duct fan with EC motor that is quiet and cheap for the value. My Idea is to grow photoperiodic kali dog from rqs while using the vegetative phase to grow few more Autoflower, to miximise yield and weed per Watt. I ordered 6 kali dog and 3 special queen Auto and received 1 additional dosidos. For now, one of the special queens didn‘t make it and the dosidos looks weird but hopefull 😅. I‘m planing to soon gerninate 4 more kali dog. Lets see if this works… I‘m not native in English.

G_abitbol Everything is going well so far

G_abitbol I was planning on transplantation today but I might do it another time soon.

G_abitbol This week I did transplant into 15L pots. I use a mix of 1/2 Plagron grow mix and 1/2 universal potting soil. Both have enough nutrients I guess, I will not add any extra nutrients for vegetation. I have started LST and the first secondary leaves are showing up. I deam lights down to 40% and will increase progressively as the plant starts flowering more and more. Lights on for about 20 hours.

G_abitbol All good

G_abitbol Special queens are starting to flower while do-si-dos is still stretching well. Do-si-dos has the bigger secondary branches, to me it looks like it will be the bigger yielder. I’m deaming lights down to 60% and I started to feed all of them with biobizz bio-bloom and top max.

G_abitbol The special queens did start to flower almost 2 weeks earlier than do-si-dos which is great because it’s fast, on the other hand they don’t stretch out much and stay kind of small. Special queen num 2 almost didn’t stretch and started to flower right away. Do-Si-dos or at least this pheno did stretch more and there are still no buds yet but it looks the way I like: at little bush with lots of bud sites. I use my lamp to max power and follow the feeding schedule of biobizz with bio bloom and top max. I have already defoliated sq 2 and will soon defiliate sq 1.

G_abitbol Looking good so far

G_abitbol It’s week 9 and special queen 2 could be already harvested, at least the main cola, but I will give some more time to finish the flush. Really impressed with the speed.

G_abitbol Do-si-dos is still on its way, i cut down the main cola of special queen 2 ans will soon harvest both of them.

G_abitbol Special queen num 2 is dry and curling, it made me harvest only about 10g. Special queen 1 is still drying I think harvest will be around 15-20 g. The weed looks good and has great taste, smell is not very strong but good thow smells citrus and pine as far as I can tell. Do-so-dos is still on its way. It will be by far my better yielder and also strongest smell. My recommendation for beginners is look for autos with 12 weeks of grow time.

G_abitbol Still not over with quite a lot of new pistils all over the buds. I thought it would stop and fatten up.

G_abitbol The plant looks really chuncky. I’m questionning if I will be under or above 50g. Anyway As you can see I still have a lot of white pistils and will let it flower for at least one more week. Last week I gave top max and biobloom a little more as max amount and since I’m giving only water with correct ph. I’m also stoping artificial lights now and will keep the plant outside most of the time for natural light and fresh nights. I hope for no budrot until dry cause the heads are really kind of fat.

G_abitbol To me it looks like ready for harvest even thow I still have new pistils on main cola. I will flush one last time today. I will let the earth dry out and as soon as the leaves start to drop I will put into darkness for 48 hours and harvest. I think its good to give the plant a more natural rhythm as soon as you start flushing at least I have the feeling that it smells stronger now.

G_abitbol Earth is dry, will leave in darkness for 48 hours than harvest. :)

G_abitbol Drying since one week

G_abitbol It’s finally over the last plant gave me 43g, I’m happy about the result. The weed smells great and rather strong for a autoflower. Smells sour, citrus, earth, maybe cheesy. Smoke is amazing, really the effect I like for a good afternoon weed. Doesn’t make me think much and is very motivating/ positive, energizing, Not hallucinating. It could easily fit in a social context, even thow I haven’t tryed that yet. The effect lasts long in my opinion, it’s a rather strong weed but it’s never an issue. Taste also good, smooth smoke, couldn’t describe the taste.
