Kirsten Gaia F1 hybrid. This grow is thanks to Royal Queen Seeds. They kindly sent me these to grow and make a diary for you. Huge shoutout to @James for the outstanding customer service, and RQS as a company for the very best genetics, everytime. If I love anything, it is consistency. RQS has consistently been a wonderful company to purchase from so I relish the opportunity to grow these and try them out πŸ˜πŸ’šβœŒοΈ Breeders' information: Gaia F1 shares her title with the Greek goddess of Earth. Carefully bred to exhibit hybrid vigour, this F1 hybrid boasts unparalleled uniformity when it comes to size, shape, aroma, and potency. Her effects will have you feeling closer to nature and craving time spent in your garden or the great outdoors. Prepare to harvest her in just 10 weeks. Gaia F1 has taken its place in the pantheon of F1 hybrid cannabis genetics. Our breeders created these seeds by starting out with parent genetics, New Breed Auto, Black Domina, and Sin Tra Bajo. From here, they conducted an extensive breeding project that culminated in crossing three highly pure inbred lines. The result? A potent and fast-growing autoflower F1 hybrid that boasts incredible uniformity and impressive pest and disease resistance. Named after the Greek goddess of Earth, Gaia F1 features a chemical profile that will have you feeling at one with the world around you. After a few hits, you’ll feel the urge to head out and bathe in nature. During your contemplative stroll, you won’t see soil, but a living matrix of millions of microbes; not mere trees, but living and breathing organisms standing tall and proud. Gain a newfound appreciation for the natural world with every inhalation. Effects, Flavours, and Aromas of Gaia F1: Stoning, Soothing, and Sweet Gaia F1 seeds grow into plants absolutely packed with cannabinoids and delicious terpenes. The hybrid vigour of F1 specimens sends trichomes into overdrive during bloom, causing them to churn out copious amounts of resin. Within this resin are high levels of THC and several πŸ’šπŸ’šTerpenes! πŸ’šπŸ’š, including myrcene, terpinolene, caryophyllene, and pinene. Together, this chemical cocktail exerts a deeply stoning, relaxing, and soothing effect that’ll help you unwind during the evenings or slow days spent in nature. You’ll also enjoy moreish flavours of pineapple, mint, and citrus that combine to create a nuanced taste experience. Growing Gaia F1 seeds: Quick, Compact, and Consistent. Gaia F1 seeds provide a quick, seamless, and productive growing experience. Producing near-identical specimens every time, growers need not expect any surprises when it comes to shape, size, and growing time. Their compact nature makes these plants ideal for indoor and outdoor spaces of all sizes, with untrained plants peaking at 70 cm and trained specimens growing to just 50 cm. Despite their small size, Gaia F1 plants produce large and rewarding yields of resinous buds in just 10 weeks from the moment seeds sprout through the soil. SUPER COCO MIX RECIPE.

Kirsten The plant is doing really well. We are progressing at a normal pace. There isn't much else to report this week. These weeks are always slow and pretty boring. I'm just keeping the medium sufficiently watered. Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; πŸ’œ 1ml Trace πŸ’œ 1ml Flourish PH: 6.4 PPM: 318 16.9.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; πŸ’œ 1ml Trace πŸ’œ 1ml Flourish PH: 6.5 PPM: 308 The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank you for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments πŸ˜πŸ’šβœŒοΈπŸŒ±πŸ€žπŸ§‘

Kirsten Gaia F1 is looking to be experiencing a bit of a growth spurt, which is nice to see! Hopefully, she will start progressing a little bit more next week. The leaves are a nice green colour looking very healthy, very pleased. I have added an additional 100Watt UVA/UVB lamp, as the uppermost canopy of Acapulco Gold is blocking pretty much everything in the tent. Hopefully, this will aid the shorter plants in surviving until I can harvest it. There will be so much more space and lighting. Can't wait! πŸ˜… Here is what I did this week. 25.9.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; πŸ’œ Sea K PH: 6.5 PPM: 565 The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thanks for checking in this week and see you in the comments πŸ‘ŒπŸ’šπŸ™ŒπŸ§‘πŸ˜

Good luck! I’m glad to see someone else growing Gaia F1 πŸ‘πŸΌ. I have one in veg stage now myself. I purchased and started it after being happy with my experience and harvests from some other F1s from RQS (such as Medusa).

@drakkon, Oh awesome I'll be sure to check yours out! I have grown 2 Orion F1'S, harvested one. It was an experiment comparison grow. The flowers are very strong. I have got a Titan seed here too. πŸ˜πŸ’šβœŒοΈ
