RelaeX ⚡ Painkiller XL (RQS) Speedrun Log #01 | Harvest Deadline: Dec 10 ⏱️🌱
Strain: 2x Painkiller XL (Royal Queen Seeds) – High-CBD (75% Sativa / 25% Indica) 🌿
Project Goal: Operation Post-Op Recovery – Tight speedrun targeting harvest on December 10, 2026 (76-day total runtime). The strain needs to be ready for my recovery phase 3–4 weeks after my upcoming surgery. ⏱️🗓️?
🧠⚙️ Setup & Strategy
Germination (Sep 24): Petri dish + paper towel + Zamnesia Seed Booster at 22–24°C passive tent heat. 🌡️✨
Potting & Buffer Chain: Petri dish ➔ Zamnesia Coco Germination Plug ➔ 11L final pots filled with Floragard Growmix. The unfertilized coco plug acts as a buffer so the delicate seedling taproot isn't overwhelmed by the pre-fertilized soil. 🌱✨
Veg Phase & Flip: Ultra-short veg (~7 days under 18/6). Flip to 12/12 on October 8, 2026. Relying on the 75% Sativa flowering stretch to build the main canopy structure. 🗓️💡🌿
Nutrient Concept (Bloom Fertilizer Only): Skipping grow fertilizer completely. The 11L Floragard Growmix provides plenty of nutrients for the short veg and initial stretch. Bloom fertilizer will only be introduced around late October (Week 3–4 of flower) at 50% strength if lower leaves demand it. ?💧📊
Watering: Targeted spot-watering (250–500 ml radius) around the plug to keep the root zone airy in the large 11L pots early on. 🚿🌬️🔍

📝🤔💬 Community Questions & Feedback
Due to an upcoming surgery, I'm on a strict timeline as I need this strain 3–4 weeks post-op to aid my recovery:
76-Day Schedule: Do you think 9 full weeks of 12/12 (Oct 8 – Dec 10) is enough for Painkiller XL to fully mature after only a 7-day veg? ⏳🗓️🌻
Bloom-Only Feeding: Any experience skipping veg nutrients entirely when using 11L pre-fertilized soil (Growmix) on a fast-flip run? 📉🧐
Appreciate any insights, advice, or speedrun experiences! ✌️🌱🚀
Great to see the Painkiller XL speedrun underway! 🌱💚 The setup and timeline are really well documented. Wishing you a smooth start and looking forward to following the plants as they develop. Keep us posted on the next updates! 🙌
@James, thanks mate, I'll provide an update every week until 26.11. Then I'll have a break for about 3 weeks. Then the painkillers should be ready for harvest ?🥦🤩
