Mutated One - RQS

Hi, Thanks for checking out my beginner RQS Quick One grow! Please feel free to comment or give advice its much appreciated. I started this after transplanting my royal dwarf incase it did not survive! Besides I need to make sure I have enough medicine until the next harvest :o The dwarf is struggling so far and you can check yourself by visiting my profile (JuicyFruit) Onto the grow: Firstly I germinated using jiffy7 peat pellets and once it pops il place it in a 5Gallon/19L smart pot pre soaked in Canna nutrients at PH6 under the phlizon 270W supplemental LEDs. Day 1: The quick one popped and is now under the LED alongside the week 2 Royal Dwarf. Humidity raised to high 60's with spray bottle. Took a few pictures as the seed is rising up towards the light and it looks nice and healthy to me. Day 2: seed leaves are now pointing towards the light. They are slightly wilted. Does anyone know what could be going wrong here? This happened on my royal Dwarf too actually. Day 3: after figuring out that IR light might stress my plants and that the LED lights on my fixture are most likely best used for supplemental use i have decided to turn them off for now and put the Quick one under the COB lights. i might have both the COBs and the LEDs running simultaneously next week. i will post photos in the morning to show any changes or improvments. Day 3 update: looks much healthier now after being under the COBs for 8 hours. im going to keep them under the COBs until i can have both lights on at once. we had a really warm day here which is rare, temps went up to 28.9c (usually 25.9c max) as the morning sun came out. turned the fan up to take more air out pull more through passive intake. i think i really need an intake fan for this light and extraction fan combo. the COBs are badly spaced creating hotspots so im going to grab an oscillating fan to sort it out. Day 4: Plant looks good after being under the COBs, i cant wait to get the LEDs on also to get better coverage. Day 5: really growing day by day and is going to pass my royal dwarf diary its growing so quick. the dwarf is going so slow and i dont know whats wrong with it :/ Day 6: Quick one is blowing my mind. perfect for a beginner, healthy and almost doubling in size every day. cant wait to taste this bud! Day 6 (update) away to barcelona for the week so il post my week 2 results when im back :) cant sleep from pain at the minute so im really excited to get to barcelona and get some natural medicine! 🍇🤑😆☀️ ive been using both COBs and LEDs for 2 days on the plants and they are growing pretty good. going to trial leaving the lights on full power at 600w for the week on fan setting 2. my watering buddy shall we say will be instructed to turn fan up to setting 3 if temps start rising above 26c if that doesnt work il probably run the LEDs all week by themselves just to avoid starting a fire! i would have thought my 900m3/hr fan would be enough to use for extraction with a passive intake, and it keeps negative pressure really well along with venting heat, i think the passive intake isnt bringing in enough cool air, possibly sucking in warm air causing trouble! need an intake fan once i get back next week! nearly £240 for a proper acoustic fan too, oh well u cant beat german engineering 😂. all the best folks until i return! Stay tuned for exciting and regular updates!

back from holidays and the Quick one has grown so much more than doubled in size since last week! most leaves are fine but some are weird shaped and dark coloured leaves? any advice is appreciated. have fun growing! Day 19 update, flushed the quick one as it had a nitrogen toxicity from being overfed when i was away. still growing new leaves but very droopy from all the water in the medium. Day 20: Posting pictures to show progress! new node appeared, leaves are still full of water and a friend said to let them recover and dry out. il leave all plants for another 3 days before feeding anything :) fingers crossed for harvest time.

thanks for checking out my grow! Give advice below if needed :) Week 2 recap: so the plants didnt have optimal conditions last week as i put slightly too much nutes in the water, which is fine for me as had an idea of how much the plant wanted. my buddy who i left to water them while i was away had no experience with plants and overfed them while i was away. So i flushed my Quick one and let the coco dry out for about 5 days. in between this i gave 100ml of water every couple of days, i should have used a water sprayer to keep the top of the coco wet instead. they seem to have high resistance and have fought the nitrogen toxicity well. Starting week 3: looking healthy and it smells like any other healthy veg plant :) main stem is growing big and healthy and from a birds eye view the leaves are touching the edge of the 5gallon container (see pictures) roots also appear to have reached an inch away from the edge of the container not sure how far deep but still exciting. i will give a light feed tonight or tomorrow morning as the leaves are starting to rise upwards. Day 24: Flushed the plant and then added my light feed as i think a buildup of salts or old nutes is the cause for my plant being slightly unhealthy! after watering leaves claw as if ive overloaded them with nitrogen then they bounce back, may need to flush again once it recovers as its near impossible to get runoff from these 5gallon fabric pots :/ not an ideal pot size for coco, i will definitely use 2 or 3 gallon containers next time. other than the few black spots and few brown spots on lower leaves from water drops/nitrogen toxicity i think were all good! currently i have no medicine whatsoever and its extremely difficult to get through the day so fingers crossed that i get at least 14-20g per plant to keep me going for the next couple of months. I have also been browsing photoperiod seeds for my next grow such as RQS Sweet Zkittlez, Barneys Farm Strawberry Lemonade and some CBD/THC rich strains :) Day 25: Started LST on my plants today, mostly to get a more flat canopy for better yield and to stop the plants growing up into the light and getting burnt - really important as this light is intense! stalks are almost horizontal and i had no fear of them snapping as the main stems on my plants are thick! gave some bottled water to keep them going until tomorrow as im too tired to mess with PH down right now :'D Id like to say thanks to everyone so far for all your help, respect and kindness. ive never felt so accepted in regards to the medicine that works for me. Keep on growing! Day 26: Re-LST'd the plants (see photos) as they escaped over night lol, so much lower growth is exploding hahahah. this strain definitely lives up to its name! :)

If anyone has any advice on how to improve this grow please comment below. thanks for checking out my diary! End of week 3/Day 27: ive been flushing alot before giving nutrients to the plant and it seems to be working, plant health is slowly improving again! Started LST a few nights ago and my plant has lost its christmas tree shape :'D the canopy is more flat and more light is getting to all growth on the plant so im happy! I started giving some rhizotonic near the stem to help with the plant being stressed. it definitely helped make big roots too! So excited to try some buds! another month or so yet :) Day 28 - 20/10/19 LST is amazing! i have almost all the growth getting a decent amount of light! im going to enjoy shaping the plant over the next week or so! Day 31 - 23/10/19 Still doing a light LST, most of the canopy is getting enough light now and the main stem is still growing more nodes. After getting some advice from a grower with the same model of light as me i now know i can hang my light a lot closer to the plants. im going to get rope rachets hooked up in the next week so i can adjust hang height. I also got an indoor chilli starter kit and planted jalapeño, cayenne and habanero seeds in some nice small terra cotta pots :) and i posted a few pictures to show the setup :) just cant wait until the whole tent looks more like a garden hahah :) 12 hours later - Added a video to show progress Day 32: 24/10/19 woke up this morning and the quick one grew upwards out of the LST :) the top has developed and looks more like an industrial weed plant now which is really exciting! ive been following a water schedule and accidentally gave a few more hours of rest to the plants last night and they have stopped drooping more or less. Re-lst'd the plant so all growth is receiving light and measured the space between the plant and grow light. its about 60cm/24Inches away which will do fine. Quick one is 18cm with LST, if i measure the stem itself its about 21-22cm tall - about 9 inches. Other than that the chillis will take up to 2 weeks to germinate, ive been keeping the moisture up around them with a mix of Rhizotonic/Water (1ml/1L) and also sprayed some on the soil as ive found it actually helps seeds germinate quicker with more strength or life in them. Will update soon for week 5 and considering the smoke is so bad in my town you get an urge not to smoke it i am so excited to be near the finish line :) roll on medicine!

happy with the growth of this plant. its the top performer in my tent in terms of vegetative growth :)ive noticed purple/brown tips on the leaves, and purple leaf edges and stems. if anyone can help and guide me through flowering feel free to give me a comment or private message :) I feel more happy and alive now that ive been caring for these plants the last while. i love watching the progress day to day, listening to music with them and singing to them, they are quickly becoming a really big part of my life and health. over the moon that ive reached the flowering phase! roll on harvest and il update this when im home as my phone is gonna die! :) Update - Day 37 - 29/10/19 Flushed the plant today, runoff ph was 5.95 and ppm was 837. i have to flush to obtain runoff in these pots and i think this is causing problems, especially because im not using RO water. the ppm of my water is 140, and thats what ive been using for my first grows. (il pick up some water from the store soon) so im using 5 gallon pots with pure coco and autoflowers, the flushing to obtain runoff i think is just taking away from precious time in the plants life cycle. it would probably have been easier to grow photos in these pots and veg them out until they are monsters and then flip into flowering. oh well theres always next grow. and still for a first grow im happy with where im at :) watered: 1.8L/4ml Canna A/4ml Canna B/3ml Rhizotonic/3ml Cannazym. ppm 380. this should help with the purpling of the leaves and help flowering :) also needed that flush to get rid of salt buildup! Day 39 - 31/10/19 Happy halloween folks! Wow... Quick one is thriving now, i think ive learned enough to keep the plants in a near optimal setting :) tooks some photos and a video as usual, loving how the plants are developing! anyway this plant has grown about 6cm in 3-4 days, and its the buds getting taller instead of veg growth :) if actually looks like a plant off the 📺 more and more. i think im gonna get between 12-20 grams off this plant :) the flush worked a treat and i think the old nute and salt buildup was stopping it stretching! following cannas feeding schedule slightly for the ratio of nute/water. i learned that:(cocoforcannabis.com) Coco is supposed to be mostly saturated at all times which in turn means less watering to get runoff. now that im in the flowering stage too im watering once every morning at lights on! maybe when i get the tehnique down i can increase to two waterings per day - once at lights on, and once 10 hours later. To sum up this week ive had a lot of stretchy growth ,(flowering) a nice lavender like smell from the plant. a better fertigation schedule and i learned how to make dry ice hash from popcorn and trim :) i tried this in barcelona and it was amazing! super expensive so it will be nice to have my own stash :) Dont forget to check out my videos and my other diaries :) all the best!

Thanks for checking out my diary folks! it means alot :) Give any advice below in the comments. Night 41 - 02/11/19 Time for a new week again and damn has the Quick one stretched since last week. was 18cm 1 week ago and now its 30cm. im really proud of myself for getting this far :) wondering how tall its gonna grow lol. Still not much of a smell to the plant, i dont think its fully flowering yet. I flushed tonight again to decrease ppm further and rid the medium of salts. runoff ppm was 800 last flush. runoff ppm is 650 this flush with a ph of 6.34 compared to 6.22 (i think) last time. going to calibrate my ph pen after this grow :) hoping im near the harvest now as im having panic attacks when i get into bed at night, my mind is racing so fast :/ On a better note my other diary fast eddy may not be tall but is soon to be heavily flowering! finally i added a few videos and pictures and I was watching videos on breeding birds last night, completely fallen in love with nature and living things :) il see how things go but i might end up taking care of some cool animals! would be amazing to have them in the videos of my plants lol! will update sometime later in the week folks so take care until then :) Day 43 - 04/11/19 Quick one is 35cm now :) if it didnt go above 30cm by harvest then i definitely could have done better but 30-40cm is what iv think a good beginner attempt is :) if it goes to 50-60 il be excelling for a new grower :) the more the merrier haha! one of my chilli pots finally germinated today along with the diesel strain from my new diary :) Still no smell from this plant tho, maybe a slight lavender/veg smell. looks to me like it developed flowers and went back into veg hahaha. the next 4 weeks will tell i guess! keep an eye out for the next picture update, everything is looking great and im hoping for 20g of bud from this strain but il be happy with around 14g :)

Start of week 7 I was worried Quick one was going to stay small but it definitely stretched (41cm tall) it seems to be flowering slower than the other plants but grew so much taller! not a noticable smell off it yet, i think its only beginning to put its energy into buds :) really excited to harvest! added a couple of photos of the chillis also, they are enjoying the light :) Day 51 - 12/11/19 Quick one is starting to grow sugar leaves in between the pistils! roll on heavy flowering :) will add pictures soon.

Day 55 - 16/11/19 Satisfied with this week. shes finished stretching and going into full flowering. Has a weak lavender smell. before i talk about this weeks issues i did calibrate my PH meter, it seems to have been off by 0.56 (reading 7.56 in ph buffer) it might never have been calibrated from factory so could have been off the entire grow. after resolving this, flushing and feeding fresh phed nutes i hope the issues below go away. time will tell. So... some weird taco leaves - some are almost crispy and broken off at the tips. light burn? lots of black spots on a single leaf? Some purpling sugar leaves (added photos to show all of this - unsure whats going on) Other than these issues i still think this grow is going great! the main cola looks like its gonna be huge!

Day 63 - 24/11/19 Everything is going great, Colas are looking amazing and producing lots of trichomes. Im going to start adding Calmag and PK13/14 tomorrow. and i ordered my harvest gear also. should be here for next week in time for my other plants harvest. nothing much else for the next couple of weeks. more flowering nute requirements, less veg nutes and more calcium and magnesium to boost flowering :) Happy Growing folks!

Day 70 - 01/12/19 This is going to be a lot bigger than my last harvests :) the colas are getting bigger each day and even the side colas are bigger than my last plants main cola. Smell is still weak/normal with that lavender/weed concoction :) hoping it gets pretty strong in the next couple of weeks! Plant hasnt gotten any taller as its finished its stretch. all thats left now is watering and waiting :) this beauty should be ready to chop down just before christmas. might have some buds dried by christmas day ahah. Main cola refuses to snap even after being bumped off the grow lamp etc. rhizotonic is definitely doing its job at strengthening stems. I added a few photos to show progress from last week. really excited for this one :) hopefully the buds will be much more dense and tighter as i will give this strain all the time it needs. ive also been watering using the full 1.8L can. the plant is drinking this and drying out in the space of 24 hours. im definitely going to give it as much water and nutes as it wants lol. Same day update: Was taking some pictures to show off LST on my other diary and they just looked great. my quick one is towering over the other diarys plant and the colas look beautiful! i posted the pictures on this week also. take a look! Day 75 - 06/12/19 Most fan leaves are yellowing and crispy now so im assuming its near the end. im going to check the trichomes in the morning to see whats up :) chopped a small bit of bud from the top of the main cola and smoked it. nice little stoned high from it :) Il probably start flushing in a few days time :) plant should definitely be ready for a week 12 harvest! i get more and more excited for the harvest of every plant i grow. im learning and improving every time. Day 76 - 07/12/19 Quick One turned into a Fat One compared to 6 days ago. im gonna start flushing tomorrow and try to harvest around the start of week 12. a nice smell of lavender and colas are thick and sticky. a definite improvement over my last diary! Keep on growing and check out my other diaries if you get a chance.

Day 76 - 07/12/19 The Quick One has turned into a Fat One! The colas are just huge! nice lavender smell and very sticky! the buds also look a lot more dense this time compared to my last diary probably due to adding calmag and pk13/14 and this plant is over twice as tall haha. it finished its stretch at 43cm so shouldnt be a bad sized harvest. I fed the plants last night with their last dose of nutes and im going to start flushing from today right up until harvest. My tap water is at 140ppm so this should be okay for flushing. ive grown all my plants with this tap water and tbh i used to let it sit out for a day or two to evaporate chemicals but i havent done that in ages. plants dont seem to mind it straight from the tap. but yeah flushing from today right up until around the start of next week. it should only need a week flush as its coco coir but im expecting to harvest on Day 85. The top of the main cola started to look weird and was definitely getting burned from the light. i took a small bit off as i cant adjust the height of my lights just now, gotta fit these rope rachets the light is just so damn heavy lol. im not worried tho, expecting about an ounce from this harvest, maybe more from my diesel auto diary. Still im very proud. this is my first plant with big colas, and not only tall but fat! cant wait to see how dense the buds turn out to be and i think my last harvest was at week 9 so this has had much more time to mature. I pulled a lot lot of leaves off this plant as they were crispy and yellowing. ive been feeding light amounts of nitrogen for a while so its either just the plant yellowing or the crispiness is light burn. either way you will notice from the pictures. upper colas have no fan leaves lol. and i added a couple of photos through the jewelers loupe, couldnt really get a good angle. but the breeder estimate is 8-9 weeks and il be finishing on week 12 so itll most likely be ready. I got a few more seeds and they are going to be stunning! award winning genetics and also exotic and high thc autoflowers! im using biobizz light mix and i should be starting once i harvest this diary so keep an eye out for that and check out my other diaries if you get a chance. Day 78 - still giving 1.8l of water per day. wanted to ensure im getting all the nutes and salts out of this so i gave 1.8l of phed water earlier in the day and 1.8l of phed water 6 hours later. going to try stick to the 1.8 per day as the soil dries out overnight with that amount :) Other than that the plant is looking great. some faint purple colors and its pretty frosty! nice big buds. once the plant is harvested and trimmed im gonna dry some on a drying rack for about a week. and some hung up to dry in a cardboard box for 2 weeks. Day 79 - 10/12/19 Harvested the top half of a side cola today so its cured just before christmas 🎄 and i wanted to let light penetrate the lower buds! Have a look at the pictures and let me know what you think in the comments :) Biobizz light mix arrived and im thinking of starting my next batch of seeds, keep an eye out for those diaries starting up :) I plan to harvest on day 85! so excited for this one! Day 79 same day update: Took a few pictures of the bud drying :) im gonna dry it slowly and just let the 21-23c room temperature 50-60% humidity do its job. and let me know what you guys think about using a drying rack like in the picture for buds? Day 80 - 11/12/19 A few days shy of 12 weeks now so i decided to harvest another couple of side colas! Snipped a cola down to individual buds removing all trim and the other cola i didnt break down i just trimmed. il add photos tomorrow to show what i mean :) The trim was really frosty and looked quite cloudy/plastic and the buds are covered in cloudy/amber pistils. I smoked a couple of bongs of the test bud which has been drying for about 24 hours now and im pretty stoned! very relaxed in my back and shoulders. no muscle pain. my head is heavy with enhanced audio and visuals :) this is turning out to be a beautiful afternoon smoke! very proud of myself :) Only a few more days until full harvest and i cant wait to cut the main cola down. id say the main cola could be near an ounce when dried as it looks thicker than my arm 😂 Day 81 - 12/12/19 What a night ive had :) been up for ages fine trimming 2 side colas i pulled off the plant tonight. the flushing was worrying me with the extra humidity rise. i added a ton of pictures to show off the whole ordeal as best as possible :) and i came across some mold halfway up one of the giant colas. was a very small pocket of fluff so i cut around the affected area and didnt lose too much (about 2g if dried) the side colas were so much bigger than expected. completely filled my whole raw tray with buds and my drying rack is starting to fill up. Im like a small child again as these colas are the biggest individual piece of weed that ive held :) really proud that i grew this! I also got a lot of trim and little popcorn buds. gonna keep then for edibles and dry up these test buds. 3 Days until harvest of the main cola :) and check out the pictures and videos i added at the end. huge colas! :)

Day 82 - 12/12/19 So harvest is here and what a journey this has been :) This plant took much longer than the others but paid off at the end with huge colas! Wet weigh was around 400g so im expecting about 60g from this once dried :) Has a slight fruity/spicy taste to it. i wont be able to honestly tell until fully dried and cured though :) Big thanks to RQS for thier amazing genetics and a big thanks to all who helped out along the way! Il update the dry weight when dried and the bud report all throughout curing :) Day 85 - 16/12/19 All buds have been dried and damn it really filled up this 68g jar! i got 64g dry weight of prime buds probably another 10g of popcorn buds that i threw in with the trim. coming into heavy flowering i expected an ounce, after i started adding calmag and pk13/14 the buds exploded. and my expectations raised to about 45g. for it to be 64g at harvest from a 43cm tall plant thats something. A few experienced growers reckoned the high yield was because of polyploidy which i believe is a genetic mutation. i looked it up and i cant say if this is what happened or not. The bud has been dried fully and slower than last time, ive tried to have airflow somewhat around the buds but not too close to avoid drying too quick. Ive only been curing for a day but its so smooth already. ive never tried anything like lowryder which is the makeup of this strain so il have to honestly rate it once cured for a week or so :) but until then i will say its been getting me quite stoned and couchlocked. i definitely harvested near the end of the harvest window. il add a final update once cured for a week so u guys know what this strain is like as a final product. Day 89 - 19/12/19 Ive cured for around a week and ive been smoking the buds and watching christmas movies alot! :'D The curing has developed a nice hit on the throat and more flavour along with burning better in joints and bongs :) ive smoked some exotic strains but i honestly feel this is among the best grown smoke ive had. it just feels so well grown with a smooth burn! i definitely harvested on the later side of the harvest window as buds have mostly amber pistils and smoking them gets me pretty stoned and sleepy! this is great as i have trouble sleeping and relaxing. i havent had this much sleep in a while. while i would say this is fairly average bud i still would rate it a solid 7, sure it might not have a strong exotic smell or flavour but it gets the job done well! and the high yield really impressed me. considering i need to be growing enough to stay medicated the 64g dry weight really made my day! Its very relaxing to know you dont have to struggle to get your medicine! I added a few photos of the best buds in the jar and im really impressed with myself for growing some fat buds! Have a good christmas folks and hope you enjoyed the diary, im gonna add it in to the newbie christmas draw so keep an eye out for it on there :) Finally i added a video of the little cayenne pepper plant featured in week 4 of this diary, its 78 days old now and is growing nice green waxy peppers :) I cant wait to makesome chilli flakes and some soup to keep me warm over the winter as soon as the peppers ripen! Take care folks and have a happy new year!
