Painkiller XL (RQS) – Speedrun

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. 🚿🌬️🔍 🗓️⚡ Speedrun Schedule & Timeline Phase 1: Germination Timeframe: Sep 24 – Sep 26 Light Cycle: Dark Feeding: 0% Nutrients (Seed Booster) Actions: Germination in Petri dish at 22–24°C. 🌡️ Phase 2: Plug Transfer Timeframe: Sep 26 (Today) Light Cycle: 18/6 Feeding: 0% Nutrients Actions: Taproots emerged! Transferred to Coco Plugs & placed into the Spider Farmer tent. 🚀 Phase 3: Ultra-Short Veg Timeframe: Sep 27 – Oct 07 Light Cycle: 18/6 Feeding: 0% Nutrients (Soil buffer) Actions: Rooting in plugs & embedding into 11L Floragard Growmix. Targeted spot-watering. 🌿 Phase 4: Flowering Flip Timeframe: Oct 08, 2026 Light Cycle: 12/12 Feeding: 0% Nutrients Actions: Switch timer to 12/12 (Sativa stretch begins). 💡 Phase 5: Stretch Phase Timeframe: Oct 08 – Oct 26 Light Cycle: 12/12 Feeding: 0% Nutrients Actions: Soil buffer provides all required nutrients for the rapid stretch. 📈 Phase 6: Main Flowering Timeframe: Oct 27 – Nov 26 Light Cycle: 12/12 Feeding: Bloom Fertilizer Only (50% dose) Actions: Introduce bloom nutrients only when lower leaves show hunger. 🌸 Phase 7: Ripening & Flush Timeframe: Nov 27 – Dec 09 Light Cycle: 12/12 Feeding: 0% Nutrients (Pure Flush) Actions: Pure pH-adjusted water only; daily monitoring of trichomes. 💧 Phase 8: Harvest Day Timeframe: Dec 10, 2026 Actions: Chop & harvest after exact 76 days. Perfectly timed for post-op recovery! ✂️⚡ 📓 Grow Log Sep 24, 2026 (Day 1 – Start): Cleaned and disinfected all tools. Placed seeds in Petri dish with Zamnesia Seed Booster at 22–24°C. Sep 25, 2026 (Day 2 – Prep): Soaked Zamnesia Coco Plugs in pH-adjusted water. Prepared 11L Floragard Growmix pots. ? Sep 26, 2026 (Day 3 – Sprout & Transfer): Taproots are out! Both seeds sprouted successfully. Placed root-down into Coco Plugs, tagged pots (PAINKILLER XL 24.09.2026), and placed under 18/6 in the Spider Farmer tent. ☀️🌱 📝🤔💬 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! ✌️🌱🚀
