Royal Dwarf - First Farm

Hello Farm, When I opened my account on grow diaries 6 months ago, the plan was for the first grow to be Royal Dwarf. And here it is. When I started thinking about growing I thought I would start with some micro grow. And so I came across Royal Dwarf. Since I'm a fan of sativa, the plant is small in growth and is good as the first plant for a beginner. Since the plan changed a bit, I decided on two plants, with the company a week older Royal Jack Automatic. So, this is my set-up: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Fan - Blauberg Turbo - E 100 Ventilation - 2X Monkey Fan 20W Oscillating Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix AirPot - 12.5 lit. Seed - Royal Queen Seed I put the seeds directly in the ground, to a depth of 3cm after soaking it well with water. The first plant sprouted after 4 days and the second after 5 days. Plant 1 - smaller plant, sprouted on day 5 Plant 2 - larger plant, sprouted on day 4 In the first watering I added 2ml. ATAMI - NRG - Root - C and later I started adding BioBizz: Bio Heaven 2ml. and Acti-Vera 2ml and 3ml ATAMI NRG Root-C. I feed the plants every 3-4 days with about 1.5 lit. per plant. Since it's mid-summer, the temperature in the box rises to 30 degrees, causing a bit of trouble for the first week for Royal Jack, who moved in a week earlier. This week I am struggling with the temperature by putting iced bottles in the box which is working well for now. During the day, I generally manage to maintain a temperature of about 28 degrees. For now, the plants look nice and healthy, growing a little slower than Royal Jack the first week, but still they are dwarfs.

Hello Diary. The second week of vegetation is behind me. I will remember this week at the constant struggle with the temperature. Outside temperatures are above 30 degrees, so it's really hard to keep the temperature below 29. I'm putting frozen water bottles inside the box, which works for now. It's not ideal but it's the best I can do right now. The difference in size is obvious even though the difference is one day. If I consider the height, they are lower at the end of the second week than their roommate Royal Jack. But Dwarf is lower than Jack anyway, so that's cool I think. First watering last week I added 4 ml. ATAMI root-c and after that I continue only on BioBizz schedule. Given the temperature and the airpots I think I will need to water more often. For now, I water every 3-4 days with about 2 liters. water. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 12 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 15 cm I noticed yellow spots on one sheet from the larger Dwarf. Nothing else is happening so far, so I wouldn't panic in advance. The rest all looks really nice. To me personally, they look really beautiful. Next week, I'm unfortunately on my way, leaving my wife and friend with beauty care. I know they will take care of them just as I care for them. That's all for this week, see you soon.

Hello Diary! This week has been really interesting. At the beginning of the week I photographed the plants and went on the trip for 5 days. When I came back, Boom, Dwarf 2 reached its roommate Jack in height. What I also happened to be that we fertilized the plants a little too much. My wife took care of the plants and I left her with bad directions :). Brown and dark green spots appeared on the leaves. Also a good friend of mine pointed it out to me but we were stupidly stubborn. Last watering I only put alga-a-mic and lowered ph to 6.3. The plants are getting thirsty and thirsty so I increased my dose to 1l a day even though we water every two days. The temperature this week was, on average, a degree lower than last week, which was also affected by the lower outside temperature. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 26 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 36 cm As they slowly start to bloom from tomorrow I'm introducing a new light mode. 20 hours light and 4 hours dark. For the first time I will also do a little cleaning of the lower leaves. Unfortunately, tomorrow I am separating from the girls again. I am going on the road again and my wife will look after the girls with the supervision of my friend who was my inspiration for this wonderful hobby. Talk to you soon

Hello Diary, The first week of flowering, unfortunately, I was not with the girls. I was on a business trip all week so everything was taken over by my wife. The first day of the week I was still home making my first defoliation, so for this week I only have a couple of photos. I also changed the light mode to 20/4. Since the girls showed signs of overfeeding last week, this week the wife watered so that every other time she would water the plants with only water and 2ml / L Acti-Vera. I did not mention earlier that p.h. regulate with BioBizz ph - . At the end of the week the girls became thirsty and watered every second day. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 32 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 44 cm Sorry, no more photos this week, but they are growing really nicely. I'll be back in the middle of next week so there will be more photos. See you soon.

Hello Diary. An exciting week is behind me. I finally returned from a business trip after ten days and found a real jungle on my small farm. My two "little" dwarfs have reached the height of their roommate Jack. Now it looks like a real jungle. Dwarfs have started to bloom nicely and they are finally starting to look a lot more interesting, especially for the photos. I came back in the middle of the week, so I took pictures in the middle of the week and at the end of the week. What I would point out this week is that the heat is back outside, but I manage to keep the temperature at 28 degrees throughout the day without frozen water. I believe this was helped by the new light regime. I put in, four hours of darkness in the middle of the day, which is why the temperature in the "small farm" drops. The beauties are watered every other day, and they get their food every other time. In between, I only pour 2ml / l Acti-Vere. Every time I regulate ph with BioBizz PH-. The amount of water for watering the plants also increased. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 49 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 55 cm I left the end of the week for the second defoliation. I must say, how in all of this my dear friend and neighbor helps me, which motivated me to this hobby. He also helped me with the second defoliation, because despite the many video tutorials watched, the advice of a friend helps even more. Hopefully they will be much more comfortable now and that the flowers will get more light. I enjoy watching them, they are really beauties. This is all for this week, I look forward to each new day, I enjoy painting them and preparing photos for my diary. See you soon :)

Hello Diary. Everything went great this week. I no longer struggle with high temperatures, summer is slowly ending and the outside temperature is dropping. Considering the beginning of flowering, I think everything went well. Dwarfs have stopped growing but the flowers are filling up nicely. The flowers on the lower branches grow weaker but given the hustle and bustle of the farm and their roommate Jack, I'm happy with everything. Watering is every 2-3 days when they get about 2.5 lit. Every third time they only get biobizz ph - regulated water. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 50.5 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 55 cm Everything is going well for now, the flowers are looking beautiful, I enjoy watching them more and more. That's all for now, see you next week.

Hello Diary. This week went smoothly. The temperature and humidity are ok, and the plants look beautiful. The flowers are fat and hard and very sticky to the touch with an intense scent. Considering the jungle in the box, the lower branches also fill up nicely and the flowers look good. I'm really pleased with how it's progressing. The Dwarfs look a lot more mature to me, when comparing them to their roommate Jack. But we'll see what lies ahead for us next week. The plants are no longer as thirsty as the previous weeks, so watering is every 3 days. I add nutrients at every other watering. Each time I forget to mention how Dwarf 1 curiously popped up and created an interesting shape at the beginning of the stem. Is this pointing to a problem or is nature just playing with it? Plant 1 - smaller plant, 51 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 55 cm I'm very happy with how things are progressing and I can't wait to taste them. I hope it ends with flowering at the same time. See you next week.

Hello Diary. This week I'm late with the diary release. I was on a business trip all last week and the plants were taken care of by my wife and a friend whom I asked to take some cellphone photos. But the Dwarfs don't look like dwarfs at all. They were huge and the branches began to bend from the weight so that a friend bound them. The flowers are very sticky and stiff. Next week, I'll take a better look at the photos with the macro lens at what stage it is. Although I have no experience but dwarfs do look very mature. My rough estimate is still a maximum of two weeks to harvest. I also bought a small microscope so I will keep track of how they are progressing. Watering is now every 4 days. The humidity in the box varies with the weather outside so that the humidity sometimes reaches 60% but hopefully it will not affect the flowers badly. Sometimes it drops to 35% which would be great to keep it constant. My friend also removed a lot of old leaves. This week they received the last dose of Biobizz, as of now only water with regulated ph. Now I am impatient, the end is nearing, they have exceeded my expectations and I am grateful to them. See you next week.

Hello Hello!!! The big week is behind us. I returned from a business trip midweek and found my giant dwarfs at the very end of flowering. I can hardly wait to make new photos to see them better. While on a business trip, a microscope arrived. I think I will have a harvest in two days at most. Great day for my small farm, the first harvest ever. The Dwarfs exceeded my expectations, they turned out to be huge. The branches bend because of heavy flowers. Plant 1 - smaller plant, 52 cm Plant 2 - larger plant, 57 cm Now all I have to do is build a small dryer because their roommate Jack has to go a little longer. So I can't dry them together in a box in the dark. What I wish was different, was the humidity in the box. It is in the range of 55% to 60%, there are two monkey fans working inside and I hope that such high humidity will not affect the flowers badly. Dwarfs have been my wish from the beginning as the first strain to grow, and I'm glad I chose that. After taking new photos and looking under the microscope, I think the harvest will be within 48 hours. See you with the last post after everything is beautifully finished and try the dried flower. Finally the dream came true.

Hello Diary. What to say in the end, it was a wonderful journey. What I dreamed of for years became reality. My first grow. What I can say in the end is that I didn't have too much trouble with the dwarfs, I tried to give them the best possible conditions, and I think they thanked me for that. The drying lasted 6 days, I dried them in cardboard boxes in the growbox, did their roommate Jack decide to extend it for another week. Since I didn't want to expose them to light, I made small dryers in cardboard boxes. After trimming: Royal Dwarf 1 - 60g Royal Dwarf 2 - 70g My expectations were 50g per plant but they exceeded my expectations. Thank you ladies for that. The taste is interesting, it reminds a bit of pine, it has a light taste, the ideal daytime smoke that I just wanted. I have one more seed left, and I'm sure I'll repeat it some day. I would like to thank the Royal Queen Seeds for their quality strain, lightweight starter and great taste. I would like to thank Migro, the great led grow lights that warmed and gave light to my beauties. The BioBizz that used to feed them, I used the whole range of fertilizers except root-juice because it was not available for purchase in my grower shop. Secret Jardin on a great and quality box. Grow Diaries, where I read and saw a lot of tips that helped me in my beginnings. Thanks also to the people who helped with their comments when needed and motivated me. Thanks for the compliments too. Many thanks to my friend and neighbor who motivated me and encouraged me to embark on this wonderful hobby. He was with me the whole journey. Thank you for all your time and my questions. Most of all I would like to thank my wonderful wife without whom all this would not be possible. She was also a great support, she did most of the watering. What's funny is that she's not a consumer at all. All because, I love it so much. Thank you, love. And in the end I can say that I am overjoyed, I really put in the effort, I have learned a lot and I hope that in the future it will be successful if not better. See you soon
