Very lovely stuff! More sativa-ish due to harvesting a week early I think, and the buds aren't the most attractive, but they get the job done and it's quite potent! No complaints whatsoever on RQS part, great genetics, great smooth grow, and some inexperienced hands from me. :-) 5/5 for the seeds, 3/5 on my efforts I guess! The smell and taste might get updated in a few weeks as so far it's been jarred for only 3 days.

Gives the plant a visible boost! I think I could've been more liberal with it as my plant was taking it really well and helped a lot with the P deficiencies.

What a fun and interesting experience! Unfortunately I couldn't weigh the wet weight, so that will unfortunately have to be a mystery. The dry weight is approximately 11-15 g in total for everything. The reason I am doubtful is because during harvest I had to throw away a few buds that had early signs of bud rot... I tried to take a picture but it doesn't show up very clearly, but it's there! It looked completely off so to be safe I chucked the majority of the main cola. So with all those parts (and some parts I have consumed heh) it could've maybe gone up to 15-16 g dry weight. I managed to make some mistakes during drying though, unfortunately I left it to dry too long and the weed became a bit brittle. Perhaps the poor trim job contributed as well, but hey... First try. The final dry weight was, I checked, 11 g. Not too bad for a first try! Definitely something. I was aiming for 20 but 11 is still something and I'm not complaining. I know most of it is due to my mistakes, and the rest probably due to the unpredictable weather affecting the grow. I have then made some cannabutter from the trim and, hopefully that's gonna be some good stuff. The weed is very frosty and covered in trichomes, so it could've been good for hash, but being a budget grower I don't have all the equipment for hash. So far that's it. I will update this post in the near future for a more thorough description whenever I think of what to put in, but for now, peace! ☮️

Grow Questions

IceQueen420started grow question 6 years ago
Could anyone possibly take a look at my day 18 pictures? The biggest leaves seem to be twisting weirdly and while I'm guessing it might be a pH issue, I would like someone's opinion who has more experience than me. Or is it normal and I'm simply being too cautious? Thanks!

Hey there, so ph can definitely cause so extremely various results, are you checking the outgoing water as well as incoming? If your ph is fairly reasonable even with the strips, my next thought would be possibly wind and air movement, because that'll cause some twisting and unusual shapes even if the air flow isn't extremely strong, but waving the plant around. Your leaves don't look very disrupted to me, so I'd just keep a close eye and watch for any changes. If it gets worse then examine some options and maybe look into watering practices too, over and under. Happy growing. Congrats on the 1st grow.✌️

Hey there so I know you mention using google, but in case you haven't come across it already, i know a lot of people on here have found a good amount of help from the growweedeasy.com site. Lots of photos, examples and tips.

@IceQueen420, lol yea that site has a lot on it....might take us a whole week of non stop clicking to get to the end of it.😄 That's great that your runoff is coming out so good, I've got a couple plants who keep putting out a point or so higher than i input...but it'll work out over time. P.S if you happen to be a science nerd..organic enthusiast or just like listening to things, I've been loving this podcast on kisorganics.com called the Cannabis Cultivation and Science Podcast. 😊

@Experimentgreen, I took a look and well... Let's say I'll spend my evening reading through that website. :-) P.s.: not sure how to reply to your other message... I have checked the run off pH and it seemed to be about the same as the pH when that went in... The fan might be the culprit I think - it was running 24/7 and not oscillating... Put that on a timer now so hopefully it should sort things out. Thanks very much!

@zedoninha, thanks a lot! I can see you're growing a Quick One too, best of luck to you with it! It seems to be a rather forgiving strain. :)

@Lovemabud, hey, thanks! If I can do it I'm pretty sure anyone can :-P hopefully nothing will go wrong! Best of luck with your grow, she looks beautiful and your LST technique is something I should definitely learn from!

I have a very similar grow of the quick one in week 6 now. I’m looking forward to see the results of yours :) Good luck 🍀

@QuickOne, thanks a lot! :-) I don't know if I'm having beginners luck or this strain is quite hassle-free! I've just checked out your diary to see how yours is doing, really curious to see how much using extra nutes (or hardly any in my case) affects the final result. Followed! Peace! ☮️

Hey Ice Queen! Looks good so far. Brown spots could be a few things. Could be from water that was on leaf and it caused a burn. Deficiency could be from the calcium or manganese Twisting of leaves could be from wind burn, high temp, over-fertilization or excess of water. Hope all goes okay!!

@canablizz, hi! Thanks so much for the thorough reply and looking at my diary. :-) I was worried that it might be cal-mag deficiency! Judging by your other comment describing the typical signs of calcium def. It may very certainly have been bothering my flower. Luckily the universal nutes I'm using have cal and mag in them (no info on how much there is though... D'oh) as I can't seem find a premade only cal-mag supplement. Worst comes to worst I'll have to try and make something myself. :-) thank you for the supporting words and I hope you have a lovely upcoming week! ☮️

@Kingjacobs97, Thanks for the quick reply! I did turn off the LED strip a few days ago so that makes sense. Will turn them back on and see how it goes. :)

That plant looks amazing...buds look so juicy and ripe. Now I'm doing my first grow as well and I'm at 7 weeks...you have certainly set the bar high by first grow standards. If i can get buds even close to as chunky as these I will be a super happy smoker

No problem. For a homemade source of calcium: put eggshells in a blender and pulverize. Then I would try and mix it around the soil and give it a good watering.

Worth mentioning my grow box is very small. 30x30x60 cm. This week I only foolishly used a single 25 W CFL light, 6000K. The following week I added the rest of the lights. Soil is BioBizz Light Mix, with roughly 500ml of extra perlite added. Pot is a 12.5 L Root Nurse folded down to make it shorter, as I was scared the full size one might be too big for my tent... As in it would let my plant get too big! Correct me if I'm wrong. Trying to pH the water to roughly 6.5. Go easy on me as I'm very new to this!
