RQS USA Trio #2

It's exciting to start a new journey! I started by trying to germinate 2xSherbet Qs. Unfortunately only one made it, so I started one more and this third one made it, but it's one week behind, so I'm planning to put it in soil and make another diary for it 👌 If you have something in mind you would 👉 Like 👈 to see or learn, be so kind and let me know ;) Big Plant Science Power House Part A 200ppm/ml/l Calcium Plus Part B 150ppm/ml/l Stimulus 30ppm/ml/l Aroma Boost 80ppm/ml/l

Things are looking great, I've put them under the LED this week so they can get used to it... and to get a better video quality :D I'm mostly hand watering at the moment one time a day.

Things are starting to be exciting. The SQ is a bit slower than the Fat Bananas, even so, it developed nicely this week. Planning to top it at the 6th node this time and give around 5-6 weeks of veg.

The girl is looking good, though it could have been much larger by this time. I wish I gave it more light and more nuts in the previous weeks. Well, it will have to spend more time in veg. It got topped this week, at the 6th node, and I will do it once more before flipping them, so in total there will be 10 lower branches + 4 tops. I also started misting with CalMag just in case.

I love this plant! It made some huge fan leaves and the branches are super symmetrical! It loves the higher amount of nuts. Very easy to train it, flexible branches. Looking forward to seeing if the buds will be just as big as the leaves!

The two main events this week: Defoliation and training. The lady seems to take it well. Apparently the nuts I use have a rather low amount of Phosphorus... I had the same problem in my last grow (dark leaves, slow bud development)... unfortunately that time I didn't get what was happening. So I started giving them "Bud Explosion" now, 2ml/l, which basically contains a mix of Phosphorus and Potassium, and the improvement was almost instantly noticeable! I'm thinking she gets 4-5 more days to recover in veg. then I flip her.

The Sherbet Queen looks marvelous! Big beautiful lady! Can't wait to see her flower!

The first week of flowering went great! The girl stretched nicely and she is growing vigorously. The pistils started showing up quite quickly, only a few days after I flipped her. I increased the PK as she showed slight signs of deficiency. She is packed with shoots, almost too much I would say, I hope she will have enough space for the buds to develop properly and healthily.

I'm very happy about how the buds have developed in this 2nd week of flower! The girl stretched a lot this week, about 15cm. The bud sites are a bit too close to each other, but I can't do much about it now, I will have to put up to the extra work when harvesting. She gets fed 6 times a day and she drinks a looot, about 2,8l per day 😮 I'm doing a flush today, the first one, to get the roots rinsed out of any accumulated salts.

It has been a good week. The SQ is fattening and getting covered in ice! She is also loosing most of the lower leaves. Now after two weeks of stretch it seems like she stopped ascending. I can't wait to see how this coming week will go! Btw, she got this weird stuff on one of the leaves stems, and only on that one. Does anyone know what that is?

It's been a pretty good week. I did quite a big defoliation, as things were getting crowded. She has a nice flowery smell! I switched to a more flowering dominant feeding, I decreased the Nitrogen and pumped up the phosphorus and potassium. I will soon do a flush, as it looks like the nuts are starting to accumulate at the roots.

I'm quite impressed by this week's development. She is starting to show her fatness. I did a flush at the beginning of the week and it helped a lot. Now I'm starting to give her less and less nuts, as she shows obvious tip burns and quite gark green leaves. I believe she will be ready in no more than 8 weeks of flower.

This has been one more great week. The girl looks good and it is very close to the finish line. I lowered the nuts to 1,58EC and she seems to like it like that. I also started using the runoff water to hand water(1,3l per plant, 1.4EC) her in the morning and in the evening to prevent build-up of salts. In two days from now, I will flush her and only serve her plain water from then on. I need to also do one last defoliation before harvest.

It's been a great week! The girl is getting very close to finish, one more week left. Trichomes are 60% milky. I reduced the nuts to 1.02 EC and next week they go down to 0.02 EC. I did the last big defoliation, both for more light penetration and better ventilation. All in a wish to keep her healthy on the last 100m run.

Last pictures before harvest. She was fast to finish after only 53 days of flowering. She got flushed with RO water at least a week before harvest. The branches got so heavy that she couldn't support them anymore. The buds are packed with crystals. I'm very curious to see how much she will weigh once dried! The harvest report is on its way ;D

Pretty nice strain! I liked how it developed in the veg. with big beautiful symmetrical leaves and very flexible branches, which made it easy to LST. She stretched considerably, so you can expect a tall plant. She was quite a drinker and liked medium strength nutrients. She was quite easy to clip with few bud leaves. 1 x Sherbet Queen 103g 2 x Fat Bananas 272g 2 x North Thunderfuck 321g Total 696g with 480w(from wall) LED. This new technology blows my mind! 👍
