New adventure starts today with the Stress Killer Automatic. This time I’ll be trying coco. It’s gonna be fun. I’ll use a 16L air-pot with about 30% (or even more) perlite as well. Stay tuned!
On February 4 (5:30pm) I planted the seed in a small RQS starter kit pot.
On February 7 at 12am it sprouted. Like after only 2 days! Today I’ve also transplanted the seedling in its final pot and put it under one 33W COB LED for the moment.
@TOTEM, Nice! I'm not as careful when it comes to Autos and training as many people say you should be! (Just look at the wide variety of training I've done on my current grows!) I think its partly because I just cant seem to help myself from touching my Ladies 😉 My favorite YouTube grower Mr. Canucks Grow only uses Coco and his Gals turn out insane!! I'm gonna eventually make a run with Coco too just to see what the hype is all about!!
@BudKingsGrow, Uh thank you bro! Well let’s see, it’s an auto, so not many techniques available, but I’ve just topped my CBD Crack and it worked. I could do it again! And, yes, this time I’m trying coco coir for the first time ✌️
@TOTEM, @James, RQS Has some of the best GDs on here, and I hear nothing but good about them! And with your experience growing their genetics, This will be amazing! Are you going to try anything different this grow?
@SKELETOR, You gave me a good idea with defoliation! I did the same, and, as you can see, she loved it 😉 I had to, because there were lot of leaves covering lower branches. Thank you for the good advice!
@TOTEM, great you got it sorted out! Your plant seems to be doing well, I will be following you daily to see all updates. I gave my stress killer a samalla defoliation yesterday to expose new branches to more light. Seemed to like it, branches are shooting towards lights :)
@SKELETOR, Hey bro. Yes, I spotted the problem: it’s a VPD related problem. High temperature and low humidity. Leaves are curling because they’re trying to keep the humidity by not exposing too much of their surface to the light. Now that I placed the humidifier near the plant (with a constant 70% RH), they’re turning normal again. I hope this helps! Cheers 🍸
What's your secret for getting light penetration so low? You're using LEDs right? If I don't lollipop, I tend to get larfy buds at the bottom. I just recently updated my lighting to 1200w and 1500w LEDs (two separate tents), and I think I noticed a difference.
Any thoughts? Awesome job here, btw. Super impressive!! 👊
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, Thank you bud! Well I have this 384W led panel (blue and red lights), plus a 30W cob which has a very strong light penetration because of its 60 degree lens. Then I used two 36W blue red led bulbs placed under the pot, as you can see, and maybe they helped with lower colas. Sometimes the approximate yield is defined by the genetics of the strain too, so it’s a mix of factors, and not only the light penetration. 👊💪
Fantastic grow diary mate, what a plant! Lost count trying to count colas.
Once I get a couple of autos under my belt I would like to try some of the techniques you've detailed so thoroughly. Especially interested in your comments about the Royal Highness.
Amazing work!!
@outdoorsman, thanks so much mate! I changed my mind about my favorite CBD strain lately. After many smoke sessions, I think Dance World is more pleasant and more fun 😉
@biggreens420, Nice to see you again buddy! It’s been a while!! Sorry for the late reply but I’ve been very busy lately. Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you liked this project! 👊
