Hempcules WEEK 1 I’m trying out an F1 seed from RQS here. I got the Milkyway F1 seed as a gift, and I figured I’d give it a go. Let’s see what comes out of it. I germinated the seed between damp paper towels, and after just 1.5 days it had cracked open and the first little root was visible. I then placed the seed straight into its 9L final pot filled with Plagron Lightmix.

Hempcules WEEK 2 Everything’s cool with my Milkyway. So far she’s giving the impression of having strong genetics. She’s healthy, lively, and there are no issues at all. I kept my light at 200 PPFD this week, and I’ve only been watering with a spray bottle.

Hempcules WEEK 4 This week went very well again. Toward the end of the week, I topped her so that 10 side shoots remain. Other than that, I haven’t planned any training and I’m hoping for a nicely compact, bushy plant. She’s growing healthy and strong, with no issues at all. I’m already looking forward to the start of flowering. 🙂 PPFD: 400µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 5 My Milkyway F1 is doing quite well so far. After topping her, she’s been growing very bushy and compact. She looks extremely healthy, and there’s really nothing to complain about. I haven’t spotted any pistils yet, but I don’t think it will take much longer. I’m excited to see how she continues to develop. PPFD: 450µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 6 This Milkyway is growing very well so far. Topping has made her nicely bushy, and she also took her time to begin flowering — right up until the last day of this week. Now the stretch should begin. I’m curious to see how tall she’ll get. Other than that, she’s in excellent health and there are no issues at all.

Hempcules WEEK 7 My plant had a pretty good week. She’s slowly begun flowering and has only gained a little height so far. She’s still nice and bushy, which I really like. Her growth looks healthy, and overall she’s giving off a very low‑maintenance vibe at this stage. I’m curious to see how much the stretch will kick in. At least she has a strong main stem, which suggests she’s well‑rooted. So far, this grow has been a great experience. 🙂 PPFD: 650µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 8 My Milkyway is still doing great. She hasn’t stretched excessively yet, but I really like her structure so far. She’s strong, bushy, and growing along healthily. I did a bit of defoliation at the bottom, but not too much. PPFD: 750µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 1x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 9 This week went pretty well for my plant. I had some minor issues with nutrient supply, but things seem to be stabilizing now. I defoliated the lower part of the plant again because there’s quite limited space in my tent. I’m now watering with nutrient solution twice and then once with plain water so I don’t run into a deficiency again. PPFD: 750µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 2x nutrient solution

Hempcules WEEK 10 Things are going well with my plant so far. The stretch seems to be mostly over, and the buds are starting to gain volume and develop more aroma. The first trichomes are already visible on the flowers, and you can even notice a slight taste. The plant is getting a lot of fertilizer by now, but it seems to need it.

Hempcules WEEK 11 Things are still going quite well with my plant. It was defoliated a bit again during the week and continues to receive mainly nutrient water. It seems to be enjoying that very much. Apart from that, it looks healthy overall, and I’m really enjoying the growing process. PPFD: 750µmol/m²/s Water: 1x plain water, 2x nutrient solution

Happy Harvest Day!

Milky Way F1 Royal Queen Seeds

10/10

Rated

It was great fun growing the Milky Way F1 from RQS. She grew strong and healthy from the very beginning without any stress, and she kept that up all the way to the end. I fed her quite heavily, and she seemed to handle it really well. Unfortunately, the temperatures were very low over the past few months, but even that didn’t cause her any real trouble. Because of the cold, the yield ended up being only average, but the buds themselves are beautifully dense and nicely resinous. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an easy, hassle‑free grow.
