RQS ~ North ThunderFuck

Theia Shoutout to the team at Royal Queen Seeds for gifting me this North Thunderfuck seed to test out and review. Time to see what this strain can do. ​The Start: The process kicked off with a 24-hour soak in 22°C dechlorinated water. From there, the seed went into damp paper tissues inside a sealed plastic bag. Exactly 22 hours later, it showed a strong, healthy taproot. These RQS are super fresh it seems and whenever I get a seed that roots out this quick it's always a good sign. ​The Substrate I put together a 100ml starter cup using BioBizz peat-free Light Mix. To get the organic activity moving early, I mixed in 5ml of Startrex soil conditioner and a light touch of Bactrex to activate the microbes in the medium before planting the sprout. ​The Lights: The cup is placed under the Invisible Sun B60, which utilizes Samsung lm301h diodes plus extra royal blue. It’s set to a 24/0 light cycle holding a DLI of 13. The blue-heavy spectrum will ensure the seedling focuses on tight nodal spacing rather than stretching out early on.

Theia Week 2: North Thunderfuck ​Growth & Development A lovely week of growing up.. The Invisible Sun B60 has flattened her out completely. Node density is spot on, and she’s throwing out broad, deep green leaves with zero vertical stretch. She has completely outgrown the 100ml cup and is ready for the move. The blue 450nm have done such a great job keeping these girls squat. DLI is around 14 on a 24hr cycle. ​Substrate & Pot Prep Mixing up the 35L bulk substrate tonight (30L Light Mix + 5L Perlite) along with the scaled doses of Startrex, Silicium Flash, Mycotrex, Bactrex, and Gypsum. The pile is being left to sit and stabilise for 3 to 4 days to let the initial microbial heat spike settle down before the roots touch it. ​The base layer is sorted as well. Recycled clay pebbles have been fully sterilised using 60°C water, a 24-hour bleach soak, multiple clean rinses, and a final bake in the sun to ensure total biological death to pests ​Transplant happening at the end of the week once the soil has cooked.
