Royal Jack - First Farm

So this is my first diary. I'm very excited to be watching my own grow now, after spending many hours following someone else's. I chose Royal Jack primarily because I love sativa and I need a strain to encourage my creative work :). And it's not a big plant so for me as a beginner I think it will be easier. To Mr. Jack, there are two Royal Dwarfs in the box. 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 into the ground to a depth of 3 cm after watering the soil. The plant sprouted after 3 days. In the second watering I added Atami Root - C, and in the third watering I started putting BioBizz Bio-Heaven and Acti - Vera. Since it's the middle of summer, what is causing me problems so far is the temperature in the box too high. At the end of the week, the temperature dropped and so did the box at a comfortable 27 degrees. The high temperature that rises to 30 degrees during the day has caused the leaves to bend, I hope to solve the problem soon. That's it for now, hopefully everything will go ok without too much trouble. But it's still a learning process.

Hello Diary, The second week of vegetation went great. I solved the temperature problem by placing frozen water bottles during the day when the temperatures were high outside. Monkey fans also help cool the air. I water the plant every 3-4 days when I give it about 1.5 liters of water. This week I added Fish-Mix from BioBizz. Although I am a beginner, I have read a lot about LST. I planned to try myself, but at the advice of a friend, I gave up. The plants are small anyway and I can't bend them nicely. And for the first time let them grow as nature intended them. I am happy with how things are going, the leaves on the plant look healthy and beautiful, the color also. I hope all this will continue.

Hello Diary, The third week was marked by heat again, within the box the temperature was around 29 degrees during the day, while it dropped to 27 degrees overnight. I keep putting frozen water bottles to lower the temperature. When I watered Jack, I also watered his roommates, Dwarfs. Now I noticed that Jack needed more water, so this week I watered Jack once more than usual and only filled him with water, without the usual food. Since I have no previous experience, but I would say she showed gender and entered the preflower phase. Unfortunately next week I'm going on a trip and my wife and friend will shave for the plants. Unfortunately I miss the start of flowering. This is another reason that I will not engage in LST, as I would actively want to participate in it. In conclusion, the plant is developing nicely, everything looks ok, hopefully the temperature will decrease as well. See you next week.

Hello Diary. The first week of flowering, I will remember the first time I was separated from girls. I was 5 days on the road so I took pictures the first day, and the last day of the week. I must admit that I was very surprised to see them after 5 days. The girls were taken care of by my wife, but I gave her the wrong instructions, I thought biobizz was added at every watering and I didn't know it didn't apply to autoflower plants. So when I came back I noticed signs of purulence, and at the last watering I only put alga-a-mic and lowered ph to 6.3. I was lucky with the temperature this week because there were lower air temperatures outside. Starting tomorrow I'm changing the light mode, I'll put in 4 hours of darkness and 20 hours of light. I also raised the lights at a distance of 40 cm from the plant. Tomorrow I will also do defoliation for the first time before I go. I'm going on the road again this week and hope this time everything goes well.

Hello Diary. This whole week I was on a business trip, so my wife was took care of the plants. On the first day of the week I was still home making my first defoliation. Since I was away from home, I only took a couple of pictures when I made defoliation. I also changed the light mode to 20/4. Given that Jack had previously shown signs of overfeeding, this week was a different approach to watering. One watering only with water containing 2ml / L Acti-Vera and the other with the entire food range. Towards the end of the week, he became more thirsty and was watered every second day. Sorry no more photos this week is really growing really well. I'll be back in the middle of next week so there will be more photos. See you soon.

Hello Diary. A big and exciting week is behind me. I finally returned from a business trip after ten days and found a real jungle on my small farm. Jack's roommates, two Royal Dwarves have reached his height. Especially the right Dwarf. It got a little crowded. My Jack is in full bloom and it is finally starting to be more interesting to study and photograph. 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 during the day without frozen water bottles. I believe this was helped by the new light regime. I put it in the dark in the middle of the day, so that's why the temperature in the box drops. The beauties are watered every other day, and they get their food every other time. Between, I only water with 2ml / l Acti-Vera. Each time I regulate ph with BioBizz PH-. The amount of water for watering the plants has also increased. At the end of the week I left for another 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. I hope they will be much more comfortable now. I enjoy watching them, they are really beauties. And I enjoy photographing them. This is all for this week, I have been through half a cycle and everything is getting more interesting and interesting. See you soon.

Hello Diary. This week went great. The temperature is no longer a problem, summer is slowly ending and the outside temperature is dropping. So it all worked out great, in the first weeks of flowering. Jack stopped growing but the flowers were filling up nicely. Flowers on the lower branches progress less but given the crowded box and two roommates, I'm happy with everything. Watering is every 2-3 days when it gets about 2.5 lit. Only water it every third time. p.h. regulate every time with biobizz ph -. I noticed that the flowers were starting to look like they were snowing. So far everything is going well, I don't see that it lacks anything. Now comes the fun part, especially for the photos. See you soon.

Hello Diary. The week went really well with no problems. The temperature and humidity are ok, and the flowers fill up nicely. Given the jungle in the box, the lower branches don't get as much light but I don't worry about it. I am really pleased with how it is progressing. True, his roommates dworfs, though younger than a week, seem to finish early. But we'll see what lies ahead for us next week. Jack is no longer as thirsty as the previous weeks, so watering is every 3 days. I add nutrients at every other watering. Since this is my first time growing up in my life, everything is cool and exciting to me. Sometimes I can't believe when I open the box that these are my plants. Hope the plants are so happy too. See you next week.

Hello Diary. This time I'm a little late with the diary post. All last week I was on a business trip again and I was not near plants. My wife and friend took care. After all, Jack began to flourish every day better and better. It's not like his roommates Dwarfs and even though he's a week older, I think it will take longer to harvest. Since I was not home, I asked a friend to take some photos. Next week, I'll take a better look at the photos with the macro lens at what stage it is. I also bought a small microscope so I will keep track of how it is progressing. In any case he is less thirsty than before. 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. My friend also removed a lot of old leaves. It now receives the maximum prescribed dose of supplements from BioBizz. That's it for this week, I'm looking forward to next week and new pics.

Hello Diary. Another week is behind us, we are entering the tenth week and the harvest time is coming. I think for another week and we have come to the end of the cycle. The flowers are stiff and sticky and increase every day. I gave him the last dose of biobizz supplements, and from now on, I will only give him water with regulated ph at 6.3. In a day few day will be a harvest of his roommates Dwarfs, so he will have a little more space. The humidity in the box ranges between 55% and 60%, I wish it was lower. There are constantly two monkey fans inside, hopefully the high humidity will not affect the flowers. Since I returned from a business trip midweek, I was very much looking forward to photographing my beauties again. That's it for now, see you soon.

Hello Diary. The big week is behind us, Jack is in his final week of flowering and his roommates, the Dwarfs have already had a harvest. So Jack has been alone for the last ten days. Last week, I was worried about humidity, climbing up to 55%, which didn't really make me happy. This last week, when the dwarfs were drying, the weather changed and humidity dropped to 45%. So again, everything was great. For the last ten days, he has only been receiving water with regulated ph at 6.2. I hoped it would end up with roommates and dry together, but it still took Jack a week longer. But this is it, we came to the harvest, it was an interesting experience. In 48 hours, they will harvest and then the final report will follow. I look forward to.

Hello Diary. I'm very proud of this day, Royal Jack is my first strain I planted. He was planted a week earlier than his roommates Royal Dwarfs, and it took another ten days longer than them to finish flowering. And here we are, I enjoy smoking Jack as I write this post. Harvest was on day 79. and I was drying the whole plant upside down in the dark at some 22 degrees and the humidity was about 45%. The drying lasted for 9 days after which I trimmed the plant and put on the scales , it turned out 78g of dry buds. Which is more than I expected. What is interesting, my whole box is 120x60x180 - 0.72m2 and there were three plants in it: 2x Royal Dwarf and 1x Royal Jack and I got 205g of dry buds in total. All with the excellent 200w Migro 200+, grow ledlight. I think it's more than great. Grow: I haven´t had any problems with the plant throughout its entire cycle. It took a week longer than I planned, but that's no problem for me, I only hoped it would end up with roommates so I could dry them together. I kept watering regularly, every 3-5 days on average, except in the early flowering phase when it was much thirsty than usual. I did my best to provide him with the best conditions, and he returned it to me in the most beautiful way possible. Smell and Bud structure: The smell is not as intense (I mean dry buds), it smells like herbs, but smells nice when smoked. The tops on the lower branches are not that hard and full, I guess because they didn't get that much light. But the rest of the flowers are harder and more filling. Conclusion: The whole cycle went smoothly, Royal Jack proved to be an excellent and resilient strain. Thanks to Royal Queen Seeds, This company has some extremely good strains and Royal Jack Automatic is one of them. After smoking, it stays positive and creative high, which allows me to fulfill all my daily obligations. 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 provided the necessary light for Jack's growth and development. The BioBizz that used to feed them, 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. Thanks to my wonderful wife who helps me with all this and supports me even though she is not a consumer at all. That's it, see you soon with a new diary.
