First grow - RQS NL Auto

OT_Hawk The seed sprouted on 18/04, although it popped the first leaves on 22/04, which from now on I'm going to consider day 01 for this plant. I planted the seed directly into the final pot, a 7.5 lt. air pot, as to avoid any unnecessary stress during re-potting. I kept the seed covered in with nylon for the first 48 hrs to withhold humidity. I should mention this is my first grow ever so I don't expect crazy results. Regarding the setup, I'm growing the plant in a little greenhouse that I use as a tool shed. The plant gets direct sunlight until 2 pm, then the shade covers the greenhouse.

OT_Hawk Should have mentioned that the growth is taking place in a Mediterranean city, weather for the second part of April has been fairly warm, although we have seen some cloudy days, which meant that on more than one day the plant didn't receive any direct sunlight. Temperature have reached as low as 10 degrees celsius at night. Other than this I haven't witnessed any problem with the plant, although it's my first grow so any advice is warmly welcome! I have been watering fairly unregularly, only when I see that the plant needs it, will start giving her nutes and regular watering in a few days.

OT_Hawk Weather is still pretty good, although the end of the week has been pretty cloudy. Unfortunately, I will have to leave town and have someone else take care of the lady until I'll be back, sorry for the lack of pictures. In the meantime, I started giving her nutes, Biobizz Bio-Grow and Biobizz Root-Juice.

OT_Hawk I'm back to take care of my first lady, I was in shock when I came back because I didn't expect to see her triple in size in just 10 days, especially because we had some nasty weather during my leave. I feel like she has been slightly underwatered during my absence but because we had very bad weather the soil wouldn't dry up. In the end, since it's my first grow, I decided to avoid LST of topping, simply because I don't have the knowledge to pull it off yet. I'm very happy and looking forward to hearing some comments from the community!

OT_Hawk I am incredibly happy about how my first grow is turning out, I haven't run in any significant problem so far and the NL is behaving so well I'm actually skeptic that things could go bad at any time. Temperatures have been very warm this week, and even if outside the thermometer says about 25/27 degrees celsius, inside the greenhouse it feels more like 35 degrees. Humidity has been very low. I believe she entered the flowering phase (feel free to tell me I'm wrong please) and maybe she will stretch even more, luckily space and height are not a problem. Leaves are looking extremely healthy in my opinion. She started to smell a little bit, I love it!

OT_Hawk Beginning of the week we had some good weather, although we had some cloudy days, too. The plant is still stretching and will probably reach 60 cm. by the end of the week. I started giving her some BioBizz Top-Max together with the other nutes. Regarding the LST, I tied two stick to the side of the pot and then tied the plant on both sides so that the lower nodes can shoot up, hopefully I did it in the right way, let me know what you think, please!

OT_Hawk Hello fellow growers, the 7th week is in the books for my first grow. It has been a challenging one, as I have witnessed some white spots on the leaves (see the question), which according to the community might be an indicator of the presence of spider mites, hopefully, I caught them on time. I have upped the quantity of each nutrient as well as the quantity of water (I water the plant once every other day). The weather has not been great and sadly we had cloudy skies for more than half of the week (average humidity has been fairly high). All in all, I love the way she is coming along, I have no clue as to how much this baby is going to yield, feel free to make a guess in the comments! I guess time will tell!

OT_Hawk Last week the weather wasn't so great, so the plant didn't get watered as much. I increased all the nutrients to 3 ml/lt. I tied some leaves together, instead of cutting them down, in order to have more sunlight hitting the buds.

OT_Hawk Week number 9 has brought incredibly good weather, I'm so happy about how the plant is doing during the flowering phase. I decided to do some defoliation, as the lower fan leaves were turning gradually yellow and they weren't getting much sunlight anyway. I've increased the nutrients, specifically the BioBloom and the TopMax, which now are given to the plant in a quantity of 4 ml./l. Looking forward to seeing what the next couple of weeks will bring!

OT_Hawk Last week of feeding this beautiful lady, I have decided to cut short the time of harvest because I have my holidays planned and I won't be able to take care of the plant while I'm gone. I did some more defoliation by removing the biggest fan leaves. The buds are huge, some of my friends who have more experience said that it might harvest up to 40 gr., I'm beyond excited!

OT_Hawk Loved growing this strain, it was my first experience and I have nothing but positive things to say about the strain and the producer. Wish I grew it in a slightly larger pot to obtain a bigger plant, but it is what it is. Had some trouble with drying and had to toss away a couple of grams due to mold, the harvest would have probably been higher the 30 grams.
