Royal AK Auto RQS (First Grow)

Day 15 (09/06): The AK is growing so fast that it already has pistils!! It is becoming so much bigger with so many new leaves and now pistils as well. I think that towards the end of the week it will be ready for low stress training. I also think that the roots have now reached the nutrients in the soil because it grew a crazy amount in one day. Keeping the humidity between 45-50% and the temperatures between 26-28C. Day 16 (10/06): The AK is getting pistils all over the plant now, on the stem and even little pistils on the new leaves that are growing. At this point it has already outgrown its sisters (the Green Gelatos) and it is growing taller as well. Day 17 (11/06:) It literally feels like it’s exploding in growth! So many new leaves that will be colas soon. It is definitely growing much more vertically than its sisters and the leaves and stems are more spread out while the Green Gelato is more bushy. I think this AK will be easier to train and expose the new colas that grow as well. The trunk is very thick but not yet stiff so we will wait one more day for it to grow a little bit and then start training. Exciting! Day 18 (12/06): When I measured the AK today it was already over 20cm (in comparison the tallest Green Gelato is 15cm, which is in the background of the photo on the left). Not that many updates today, growing really healthy and strong and it seems to be happy with the environment and the watering quantity. Day 19 (13/06): It is sooooo tall. I quite like how spread out everything it, it’s so much easier to see what’s happening and what new leaves and pistils are forming. I can also already see colas forming at the top and some at the bottom so training will start tomorrow 😄 I think it’s gonna start growing even more when we are training it because it will be exposed to more light. Can’t wait! Day 20 (14/06): So the training started today and we were amazed by this AK. We tied it down to one side first with some garden wire to the side of the pot into which I cut holes, and after a few hours it was already pointing up to the light again! It is so resilient and seems to be thriving. Time for these new colas to be exposed to some light! I’ve also noticed that the humidity is very stable, which might be because there is more soil and water evaporating from it. But we will be doing low stress-training over the next week and adjusting leaves and stems as needed. Also before we started training, I fed all of the girls 500ml each of water with BioBizz BioGrow (1ml/L) and BioHeaven (2ml/L), and this is what they will be fed every other day for the next week (because the soil gets dry quite quickly even when checking an inch deep). Day 21 (15/06): The training continues! We readjust the garden wire to bring down the colas and spread them apart so they can all grow simultaneously. We adjust the training twice a day, once in the morning at 9am and the second time before lights out at 5pm and it seems to be going really well.
