Strong
She stayed very small, a dwarven dwarf at 9.5 inches on the main stem (and surprisingly 10 inches on a side branch). Another website states that this is one of 3 known phenotypes of this strain. The calyxes are quite big, while the trichomes are tiny. I am disappointed in the yield, but the buds were very airy which I have read is a negative of using CFLs. Smoke test - strength is mild, but effect is pleasant, with a light relaxing couch lock that doesn't overwhelm, but is ideal for movie time. Hoping a short cure will strengthen it a bit. Overall, it was fun to grow and seemed to go fairly well. My next grow will be using my new LED light, so I am excited to see how that goes.

Any advice on a possible watering schedule would be highly appreciated. At this time I have difficulty telling the difference between over and under watering symptoms.

Hey G.C.! The best trick to not over-under water is to feel the weight of the pot when dry when i say dry the first inch or so of soil dry but not to where the plant is wilting. You can even weigh it if you want. make a mental note or literal of it. Then when you give it its' next watering after you water feel the weight of the pot. Once again take a mental note of what it weighs. Now you know if its on the heavy(watered) side you know not to water, if it is light(dry) you know it is time to water its a simple yet very effective method. Hope this helps! Happy Growing๐

Nice grow but I think you could let her ripping some weeks longer.
Nevertheless enjoy your buds! ๐๐ป

Hi , stubled into your Diary. I wont cover the soil with such a material, soil got to breathe. you only get mold under your coverage. and its to see that you have probs with your watering management. i would put away the " reflector" and only water again , if soil is knuckledeep dry. and yes i know what its like to sit in front and just watch.....

GreenCanuckcommented6 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, yes, I have actually been thinking along the same lines. I remove the reflector when the lights are off, but probably you are right and I should just take it out all together. Thanks for your comment :)

I see you are using just the Jungle Juice bloom ( not along with micro and grow ) and Sensi Cal Mag. Perhaps I should try that?

@Puffer_Bill, that is really only due to limited finances. For my next grow I plan to have the full JJ lineup as you mentioned and see how that goes. Thanks for checking my diary and leaving a comment ๐

Hey man good luck for your first grow, I grew the royal dwarfs as my first grow, I grew 3 of them in a 60x60cm tent with a 300w Roleadro LED and managed to get 100g +, my highest yielding individual was 50g+.
The genetics are great for a first time grower and came out with some nice citrus smelling buds, only thing I can say is be ready for the stretch as these dwarfs can get a little bigger than first thought, about 90cm ๐
Your grow seems to be on the right track! No visible issues, the first grow is both exciting and daunting at the same time as you really don't want to mess anything up but this is the best time to make the mistakes and learn from them, whether your a newbie grower or a veteran we all still make mistakes and it's the learning that matters! Thankfully these girls are really good at bouncing back and can be very forgiving! ๐
Expect some crazy growth after week 4 trust me ๐

I think the side stem might be foxtailing, a symptom of the light too close or the room too hot. There's an article about it on growweedeasy.
