Day 63. The lower right plant has stopped flowering, it's stuck in this pre-flower stretch limbo in the 9th (!?) week. The rest are slowly filling bud sites. The light (315w CMH) is at its absolute max height and causing some issues with the Monster plant and heat damage. I just have to let it go, as I have little options of raising the light and lowering the intensity seems foolish. They all seem healthy, yet wildly unpredictable.
This week seals the deal. No more RQS seeds. This is my 3rd grow with this breeder, and it's the same ol' story. Not having predicable genetics and some resemblance of similar phenos makes growing stressful. These plants are all over the place with nutrient demands, growth sizes, and half were stunted as seedlings.
At this point, who really knows if this grow will finish properly as there are so many questions at this point. I planted 4 seeds of the same strain to make life easier, not second guess every grow week.
Yes, it's a big plant. Yes, it "looks" like big yields. If the non-flowering plant doesn't go this week, I'm going to pull it. Maybe try putting it under 12/12 to see if its photoperiod (which I suspect). I'm looking at a 16 week + autoflower. A waste of time and energy, in my opinion. FastBuds or photos only , in my future...
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 👍
