Getting slightly confused on how quickly RC#1 has grown! I'm looking at other diaries and these look about 2 weeks ahead! RC#2 is a little behind but should be at this level in a week. I'll add more pics this week.
No issues atall this week, I check in the morning, water in the evening. That's it... for a first grow this has been a breeze.

RC#2 seems to of picked up some pace again. I'm wondering if some defoliation shocked her for a few days. I think RC#1 has about 2.5 weeks left
01.03 (day 54)
Both have had alot of defoliation this weekend as I could see the humidity has started to creep up slightly. No issues atall. All of the girls (x7) are now on bloom nutrients.
RC#1 has been tappered down on nutrients as it's quite possible she will be ready to chop in less than 2 weeks, still amazed how far she is ahead of RC#2 who is only just really starting to properly show formation of flowers, so I'm guessing she will go the full 10-12 weeks.
Overall I'm impressed with the RQS seeds, grow has been easy based on I only graduated from my YouTube masters degree in growing in 3 weeks! Lol.
Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.
Looks like you had or have nutrient lockout. There is signs of overdose in your leaves. Give your poorly girls a nice heavy flush if you haven't already and lay off the nutes for a week. Start adding in small doses. Try adjusting your pH level. Do you check the soil pH too? 👍🌱
Im a little concerned. The plant was dried for 8 days to the point the stems were just about to snap/ crack. Now it's all been harvested into jars the smell isnt filling me with confidence. Should I expect the smell to mature with the next few weeks?
Minimum 30 day cure, then see where you stand. I find cured buds lose some of that strong smell when in the peak of flower.
And if it tastes like it smells, then even better bonus when done.
Like the above growers said it will improve with time as the cure goes on
I've been told to dry trim also to help avoid any hay type smell
Wet trimming apparently gives a hay smell
