Day 49. They stretched another 6-10". The monster is really close to the light now (10"), but she doesn't seem to care as its not directly under the ballast/lamp, thankfully. It looks like all plants are in flower now, but the big one is still ahead. Per advice of this sites awesome experts, I've stopped defoliating and stressing them so they can peacefully move along to their next phase of life. I've upped the nutes and feed the Monster a gallon of solution; the others get 1/2 gallon. I will likely run the Flower Fuel for a couple more weeks but suspect I am at least a month out from harvest. If I hadn't bent/topped the Monster in half week 4, it'd be well over 6 feet tall at this point. While my smallest (the stunted seedling), is just over 12". The other 2 are 18"-20". The Monster is about 30" and about 2' diameter (see photos, back right). The ghetto SCROGing is doing the trick but makes watering a pain in the ass........
4 identical seeds. 4 completely different plants. While the plants are healthy, consistency in genes is clearly lacking here.
Auto's NEVER do what the data sheets say but these RQS girls are all over the place. Fingers-crossed.....
This is the most unpredictable auto flowers I've ever had. It will be 50 days soon and only preflower on one plant. Ive used a 12/12 light schedule on autos before. Should I try this on these plants? If, so keep it 12/12 untill the end? No turning back to 20/4 when they go?
I see a trained Plant in Preflowers. There is no Need to Keep 12/12 on her. She will go into full Flower soon, and love the Minimum of 18 Hours. I see you topped and trained the Plant, that will be the reason for alittle later Flower than usually, but shes in the " timewindow" to Flower. No reason to be sad, she just does what she can do. If you trrain those Plants you delay her alittle. But Training and topping bring her a open canopy with some nicely exposed budsites
Day 70 and I have a plant that has preflower stretched for almost 4 weeks now. No bud sites or pistils really and is massive. 4 auto seeds, same strain. All crazy different, all very different needs. Pull it, keep it, defoliate hand sized leaves, 12/12? Grows 2close to light
hi Bezzy@, your plant should not be automatic, some phenotypes of some strains of automatic plants show stability problems and are not autos, they are feminized. you will have to change to 12h / 12h for it to start flowering. in order not to harm the other automatic plants wait until they have the best shaped and fattest buds and put on 12/12 the last 2-3 weeks. I already finished the last weeks of several automatic plants at 12h / 12h and I never felt harmed in the harvest for that. good luck mate 👍
Looks like you're gonna have a nice crop there!
Same thing happened to me with the uneven growth. It was just uncontrollable! Even with wire!
I got a monster too, and it's fantastic!
This strain is THE BEST!
Greetings from Russia! Your plants are simply magnificent! Develop in the same spirit! If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diary
Fair to say the genetics of RQS Nl has gone a bit haywire, having the same issues in my grow with 2 completly different looking plants 😂 shame as the small one is a little beauty, but the tall plant is becoming a monster 😂 all good fun, keep up the good work 👍
