Royal AK Auto RQS (First Grow)

Day 8 (02/06): The AK is growing amazing, its leaves are super big and it’s already growing another set of new leaves. Based on feedback from my other GG diary, I started watering at lights on instead of lights off because the girls could be getting cold with the lights off, wet soil and the fan blowing which makes sense. Humidity remains stable between 45-50% and temperatures are 26-28C. Day 9 (03/06): I finally figured out the problem with the lighting and the pictures now pretty much represent the true colour of the leaves. It is growing super fast and there are already new leaves on the bottom pairs of the first leaves. The stem is quite sturdy already, I test this by turning the pot to different sides (left and right 90 degrees) to see whether the plans stands straight still or if it leans and this seedling does not lean. Looks good, can’t wait to see it grow even more in this week! Day 10 (04/06): My god, it’s like it blew up overnight, it just grew 4 new leaves! Seems like it’s definitely racing the other strain as if trying to prove something 😄 It’s looking super healthy and the fast growth means that it’s happy, so I’m happy. Also noticed today that if you smell up close in the centre it is starting to smell beautiful 😍 Today was the last feeding of Root Juice as well because it has gone past the 1st week that was suggested on the feeding chart but I thought I would still give it Root Juice before moving it to a bigger pot in a few days. Day 11 (05/06): It just keeps growing faster and faster! Today the new leaves are already big and there are so many more new leaves starting to growing along the stem as can be seen in the second picture. I have noticed though that the leaves are a bit curly, if you look on the second picture from the side. I googled this and it does not seem the same as when the leaves curl at the ends because of overwatering because the new leaves are curly as well. I think this just might be particular to the strain but I am keeping an eye on it. The leaves are also outgrowing the small pot as they are much larger now so we will be replanting all 3 girls in the tent tomorrow into bigger pots. Day 12 (06/06): Today was the big day of replanting. We took the AK and the other girls out of the small pots carefully and planted them into bigger square 18L pots. The soil in these pots is Plagron All Mix which already has nutrients in it. This was not my first choice as I initially wanted BioBizz All Mix or Plagron Batmix but they had run out of stock of those unfortunately for us. However, as the soil is still organic and has a good composition it should work just fine with the BioBizz nutrients. I fed them some BioBizz Bio Heaven before the transplant (1ml/500ml between three plants), which should promote nutrient absorption. However, for the next week we will be feeding them just water for as we want them to adjust to the new soil and make sure they do not get nutrient burn. As can be seen in the comparison picture of all 3 girls, the AK is definitely catching up! Day 13 (07/06): The AK seems to be adjusting to the new soil well as it hasn’t stunted its growth at all, if anything it made it grow even faster! It will probably start growing even faster as the roots start to reach the nutrients. There are so many new leaves on the stem, it’s super exciting! Today I just sprayed it a little to keep them cool and the light intensity has been increased back to 100% so I will keep an eye on the temperatures but today they were 28C during the day and 25C during the “night” and the humidity remains stable between 45-50%. Day 14 (08/06): It’s growing so fast I’m struggling to keep track of all the changes and the new leaves forming. It is looking great and the new leaves are not growing curly anymore so I think it must just be this strain and the way it grows its first leaves. It is finally looking like a great cannabis plant with its fan leaves all big! Today I fed it about 300ml just around the centre where the roots are currently, with each watering I will be increasing it slightly to accommodate for the growing roots and keep them happy.
