Diesel Automatic - RQS

Hi everyone :) thanks for stopping by. So with estimations of yield for my current grow between 14-28g i started this one tonight. im happy with how much i learned and any yield whatsoever. unfortunately my doctor said after 6 months of me trying different meds which made life unbearable were sorry we cant help you, we've tried every antidepressant, anti anxiety and sleepers we can give you. so after losing all hope for life i decided to do what ive always done. get up and do it myself! to keep me ticking i need at least 1 Ounce per month and my first grow just isnt going to leave me with enough smoke :( So i started the remaining RQS seeds i have which include: Royal gorilla auto. (20%thc) Royal bluematic. (Fruity) Diesel automatic. (sweet/sour) Royal Jack automatic. Im a big fan of sweet/fruity smoke such as lemon, grapefruit, sour diesel, anything really tasty! if anyones got any suggestions for a photoperiod or an autoflower which had an insane taste etc then please let me know :) i appreciate you all! Onto the grow - Day 1 - 01/11/19. I mixed 1ml plantstart, 1ml rhizotonic to 1.8L water. added 1L of this to a spray bottle, used the rest to soak up the jiffy peat pellets. I havent decided on pots or soil until monday. but i popped the seeds into the jiffys and away we go! ☀️☀️☀️ Day 2 - 02/11/19 Used the spray bottle to keep air moisture levels up, slightly sprayed the jiffy pellets so they are wet. i keep these in a propogator (see pictures) with a towel wrapped around to prevent light leaks and to keep it from getting too cold. ive then placed this under a table near my room heater on a low heat to just take the chill out of the air and keep temps around 20c. Im really hoping all of these sprout, if they dont its time to order some new ones :) ive had 100% germination rate so far so lets see how we go :) All the best folks! Day 4 - 04/11/19 one of my chilli varieties sprouted! unsure if its the jalepeno, cayenne or habanero... i probably should have labelled them... guess we'll find out :) im not as bad as caring for seedlings as i think! im still keeping up this 100% germination rate hahaha. Il keep my other plants on show throughout my grows just for a bit of flavour. along with some other ideas to keep everyone on their toes! This morning my diesel auto has sprouted too and now that ive learned the basics through my first grows/diaries i can move on to putting all my effort into these lovely strains :) i was hoping to be able to afford to pick up some pots today but unfortunately i cant until tomorrow so the Diesel is going into the tent and under the light along with the chillies. il update again once the other seeds are sprouted :)

Day 7 - 09/11/19 Diesel auto sprouted on day 3, the rest did not sprout unfortunately. Used a soil mix with wood chips and 4 weeks feed in 3 Gallon pots (plastic, 30cm tall) it seems to be going fine, hopefully il have less worries in regards to nutrient deficiencies and toxicities :) Day 12 - 14/11/19 forgot it was soil and added some nutes, got a few burn spots and a little dark leaves and weird shaped leaves. ive just been feeding plain water now :) diesel is growing away on her own while i patiently await the harvest of my other diaries :)

Definitely scorched the leaves on week 1 but i know exactly what happened. i got lazy one night and put too much nutes in the soil. since this is my first soil grow and its a force of habit to add nutes to coco i couldnt help myself. i wont do that again. Ive been watering with 2ml/ltr of rhizotonic and 2ml/ltr plant start. just to kick things off nice and healthy. Other than the nute burn on lower leaves this is a nice healthy green plant :) roll on my NYCD :)

Day 22 - 24/11/19 Burning has stopped on leaves, ive just been adding plain phed water most of the time and feeding with 1ml plant start/1ml rhizotonic/1l water the odd time. Keeping ph around 6.5/6.8 to start. Im going to start LST tomorrow, need to keep the canopy flat as i still havent got rope rachets to adjust height with ease. No smell off the plant yet its still vegging away. Im getting some vitalink calmag and PK13/14 tomorrow, should be a nice addition to this diary but ive desperately needed it for my other diaries nearing harvest. check them out if you get a chance :) Happy Growing!

Day 29 - 01/12/19 in the last two weeks this plant has just exploded. very tall and very bushy! i had to bend the fan leaves out of the way so the preflowers could reach the light. Light floral/diesel smell coming from the plant. should be going into flowering next week :) Ive stopped using vitalink plantstart for feeding as our plant is established. I will now be using Canna A Canna B, Canna Rhizotonic and Vitalink Calmag. I have also been doing LST since last week to keep a more flat top round body shape to the plant :) hopefully this will force the plant to stay small but grow big buds! Same Day Update: watered the plants just now and i got frustrated looking at the diesel auto trying to keep the fan leaves above everything else haha. i said no and LSTd it hard! all the flowering growth now has great light coverage and i added a few photos in at the end too. From the photos you can see my Quick One plant from my other diary. on this plant all the colas are pretty even in height except from the main cola. this time im going to try and improve my technique on the diesel plant and try to get all colas at the same height :) Happy Growing and check out my other diaries!

Day 41 - 07/12/19 This one has grown a hell of a lot of fan leaves. had to pluck a lot of them. now the light can penetrate lower growth. theres a lovely NYCD smell coming from this one! smells amazing! Height is 36cm at the tallest cola and thats with a big LST. trying to keep height down as i have not added rope rachets to my lights yet. Im gonna be giving a fair bit of Nitrogen this week (Canna A), potassium and phosphorus (Canna B) as flowering stage is here :) Changed Ph from around 6.6/6.7 - 6.3 Added a few pictures and a video to show progress from last week. not much else this week just happy little plants! Day 43 - 09/12/19 Just rotating the diesel now twice a day so it all gets light coverage as im keeping my Quick One plant mostly under the flowering lights until its harvest next week. apparently the quick one has a polyploid mutation causing it to have a much bigger yield. so i think it deserves the light for a few more days. The diesel is still giving off that lovely smell and getting bigger every day. its definitely wider than my quick one and soon to be taller. Had to defoliate some of the bigger fan leaves to allow more light through to lower growth as the odd fan leaf was turning yellow. Ive been feeding 2 times with nutes and water phed and giving only phed water on the third occassion to prevent salt buildup and nutrient toxicities. Check out my other diaries if you get a chance and keep on growing!

Day 64 - 30/12/19 yo whats up folks, hope you all had a good christmas, apologies for no updates over the last month i took a little break to rest up and get started again fresh! everything has been going great over the last month, i smoked my last plant all over christmas and it improved my mental health so much. anyways on to the final weeks of the diesel auto. when the plant went into flowering its constantly had minor issues with leaves yellowing and falling off. could be my ph pen again or it could be that the plants are growing into the light and getting bleached. its still producing really sticky buds and I started my flush yesterday (day 63) so yellowing is fine. Il update and let you guys know what harvest is like next week :) Until then have a happy new year and keep on growing!

Day 72 - 07/01/20 This one was the only survivor of my 4 x RQS diary. my blueberry auto, jack herer auto and GG auto didnt sprout but the diesel did and here is her harvest! I added some nice photos of the plant and the yield was 325g wet weight. Should be over an ounce once its dried. Update - Dry weight was 30g although much of the bud is small :) Ive been curing for a few days and its insane how the flavour and burn changes throughout curing :) Update - Day 78 - 13/01/20 The sweet diesel smell and taste is coming through. buds are becoming more and more enjoyable to smoke as days go by. :) il post a few pictures later tonight! Added the photos of some buds and a video so you can all have an opinion on how my buds turned out visually. let me know in the comments :) Il do a few more curing updates to let you know how the second week of curing goes! Day 86 - 21/01/20 I finally finished the NYCD after about 2 weeks of curing. It smokes fairly well and is definitely the best thing ive grown so far :) Buds developed quality and a sweet earthy diesel flavour/aroma over the 2 weeks of curing. one major improvement i would make is to source high quality soil as i really struggled to flush this properly. even still without lab quality conditions ive never felt so depression free since ive been taking this medicine regularly. to finish up i will say that I liked the NYCD diesel taste but i still preferred sour diesel. The plant grew to a reasonable height around 60cm and produced an ounce of average bud. and I might not have won any GD competitions, but im still a winner! :'D Lucky for us I just started an Sour Diesel Auto from fastbuds so you can check that out to see what i thought of it compared to this one :)
