ChubbyBudBros This Apple fritter auto grow is part of the Royal Queen Seeds community grow, which started on 01/10/25. Check out the offcial RQS Discord if you wanna grow with us or check out other people's grow!
I've started the germination on 30/09.
Made a nutrient mixture in 1l of water using root-juice, bio-heaven & acti-vera. PH'd to 6.1. I let the coco plug sit in the mixture for a few minutes and put the seed in and placed the plug in the RQS germinator.
After 3 days on 03/10 the seedling has popped out of the coco plug! I already pre moistened my 11L soil pot earlier with 2.2l of water, using the same nutrients that I used to soak the coco plug in to activate the microbes in the soil.
04/10/2025 - Day 1
I will start counting today as day one. her cotleydon leaves were fully spread open this morning and I moved the coco plug into the 11l pot in the grow tent. Also watered her in with about 80ml's of water containing the same nutrients as the plug was soaked in.
Day 2
She seems like she is stretching so I've lowered the light a bit. She seems to be doing good otherwise.
Day 3
The soil was already fully dried out, so gave her 150ml of water containing root-juice, acti-vera, alg-a-mic & bio-heaven.
She seems to be stretching quite a bit so I lowered the light down to 52cm.
Day 4
The stretching seems to have stopped now, after lowering the light yesterday, and she is looking happy 😇
Day 6
The soil was completely dry again today, so time for another watering today 🚿 with 150ml's of water with some root-juice, alg-a-mic, acti-vera & bio-heaven.
Day 7
The leaves suddenly grew a lot over night, not seen that before. But the leaves are a bit droopy, not sure why, hope this is just a temporary thing because of watering yesterday.

Day 9
She seems to be doing great for now, she's a bit tall but the stretching has definitely stopped now after adjusting the light.
Her soil was completely dry so I watered about 200ml's using: root-juice, bio-heaven, acti-vera & alg-a-mic.
Day 10
I moved up the PPFD yesterday to 400 without realizing, but I caught her leaves praying to the light, so figure I will leave it for now as she seems to enjoy it. She still seems to be doing pretty wel for now.
Day 12
She seems to be growing pretty well! Watered her again today with quite a bit more water, 600ml's (silica Force, calmag, bio-grow, root-juice, acti-vera & bio-heaven)
Day 13
Looking at how the lower 4 nodes on the stem are developing, I am thinking that I will top her tomorrow. I wanna give the branch a little bit more length so that when I top there's enough trunk left so that it won't separate and crack easily.
Day 14
Very happy with the width and strength of the stem and the 4 subnodes on the stem developed very nicely, so today was topping day!

Day 16
Watered again today using 1L @ 6.4ph containing silica force, calmag, bio-grow, root-juice, alg-a-mic, acti-vera & bio-heaven.
Those 4 nodes are growing really well. I should be able to start using the LST stakes on them in a day or two hopefully.
Day 17
Those nodes are developing fast! Was already able to apply some LST to the highest nodes 😍
Day 18
Gonna have to keep an eye on her to keep those LST stakes fitting nicely, she had quite the vigorous growth!
I do see that there already is a white pistil on the main stem, showing her sex. Looks like she is already transitioning to preflower. that's very early. I assume it's probably due to the intense lighting I've had her under.
Day 19
She is definitely got preflower pistils going on there. Hope this isn't gonna impact yield too much 😢.
Also had to water again today. Gave 900ml's @ 6.4ph containing root-juice, bio-grow, bio-bloom, bio-heaven & alg-a-mic.
Day 20
Increased the PPFD today to 550.
Day 21
Able to start adding some more LST stakes in there now to get those branches flat
