P0C023 Let’s begin…
I’m a newbie here on Grow Diaries — and outside of this bubble as well. One year into this journey, I finally feel a bit more comfortable sharing my flaws and following this incredible path. Being a newbie doesn’t mean being reckless, though. Every step of the initial process involves cleaning and sterilizing every single inch of the tent and all the equipment.
Disclaimer: Be careful when using certain products like bleach or other strong chemicals. Always wear a mask, gloves, safety glasses, etc. Take care of yourself during this process and make sure there is plenty of fresh air circulating. Stay safe! 🏾

Special Kush #1
Afghan x Kush
Kush is to indica strains what Haze is to sativas. Much like Skunk, “Kush” is a term used to describe an entire lineage of cannabis plants. Today, the term Indica refers to a type of plant that is naturally found (indigenous) to the Indian region.

🌱 Germination Process
I usually prefer placing the seed directly into the growing medium to avoid pathogens — no direct handling of the seed.
So: mask on, gloves on, and full attention.
Once the medium is in the pot, I water with about 50–80 ml of pure water, adjusted to pH 6.3, with the lowest EC possible.
The hardest and most challenging part for me: waiting — around 7 days. 😜😝
From day one, the pots were placed on a heating mat, maintaining an average temperature of 22°C.
I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing!
Grow with passion, and it will thrive. 🌱✨

I have improved the equipment used to make the Janes will thrive as it should be, and to make sure that the environment is solid as diamond. ||
I absolutely love this genetic. The aroma, the structure of the plant, structure of the flowers and the effects of the final product. I hope in future to look back to what I'm doing and cover any flaws and dive into a very nice pheno-hunt.

Method used: minimal intervention — I don’t touch the plant and simply let it thrive.
The environment remains stable, especially in terms of temperature. I’ve learned that consistency is key: when conditions stay steady, the plant feels comfortable and grows stronger.

Okay, I made a mistake and I’m not very happy with the results. The pH/EC pen turned out to be unreliable and wasn’t working properly. Because of that, the pH went up a bit, which may have caused a nitrogen deficiency and the light green color on the leaves.
However, a new pen has arrived, and the first watering after that was done at pH 5.8 to make sure things get back to normal. Fingers crossed!

P0C023 Well, it's been in an while. As I was busy with other projects, to come over here and post photos turn to be secondary. Sorry!
Janes:
They bounce back to a very nice good looking plants. PLAGRON is magical. I kept most of the environment parameters on the same level.
Two things that I can add about it.
Temperature, I increased to 27°c during the day and 25°c during the night.
RH: 55%
That's All folks!
See you soon.😃😀😄😁

P0C023 I can’t stress enough how happy I am to be growing these @RoyalQueenSeeds genetics, using the super friendly fertilisers from @Plagron under @MarsHydroLED lights. When I first started this cultivation journey, I never imagined my setup would look like this. There is always room for improvement and for developing some really nice cultivars, and for now I’m putting my trust in these brands. Let’s see what the future holds for me on this path.
For me, cannabis is more than just a hobby — it’s a way of thinking, caring, giving, and loving. PEACE!
INSIDE OF THE TENT:
I’ve been keeping everything steady, and the Janes seem to be happy. I’m watering once a week, and the dry-back has been really slow. The humidity where I live is pretty intense, and it feels like the controllers and devices are constantly fighting to keep everything where it should be.
Nothing more for now… Let’s enjoy this early spring sun and smoke one outside.

P0C023 What a run! I couldn’t be happier with how these Janes are looking—they’re absolutely marvellous. It’s outstanding how well Plagron works on these plants.
At the beginning of the week, I did some light defoliation from bottom to top, and they are recovering beautifully. The dry-back is getting faster as they grow, even though I’m only feeding them once a week (rarely twice, unless they really ask for it).
I can’t wait to see these flowers reach their full potential. Let’s blaze it for the final stretch! haha
See you soon, fellas!
😀
@DogDoctorOfficial, thank you. I'm very excited to run these cultivar again. It was one of the best aromas that I've ever smelled.
2 more cultivar to come out... let's see! 👽
