Royal AK Auto RQS (First Grow)

Day 22 (16/06): Continuing the training, just trying to keep everything as far apart as possible so that all the colas can get light. Already noticed that there are some new leaves and colas growing in the centres of smaller stem and even some on the main stem. Today I fed them their nutrients and as I assume the roots are now reaching all of the soil, I have watered all over with a bit more water (800 ml per plant). I feed them in the mornings now so they can time to absorb the nutrients throughout the day. Day 23 (17/06): The colas are already looking so juicy and delicious and it’s just the start! I would say that it is starting to flower now but I will still keep this under vegetative section of the diary because we are still doing training. To be honest, I think we started the training too late but the AK is still quite bendy and wasn’t resisting the training, I think it just might have flowered a bit too early. Day 24 (18/06): The AK is growing massive, it is definitely going to give huge yield as it’s already growing out of the pot (hopefully there is enough space for all the roots underground!). It smells amazing as well with all the pistils and it is actually still quite easy to make adjustments with the smaller branches (you can see if you compare day 23 and day 22 pictures where we are trying to adjust the stems to expose more of the colas. It’s thriving! Day 25 (19/06): The AK is growing really well, there are already clusters of colas but even where it is a bit empty there are new colas and leaves growing! We are scared we won’t have enough space to contain this girl 😁 I am still feeding 800ml and it seems to last 2-3 days but I do let the soil get quite dry so I will be increasing the watering to 1L each at next watering because I think she is taking up much more water now if the soil is able to get dry within even one day. Since I think it is safe to assume that it has entered flowering, I have added some more nutrients to the mix. I am now using BioHeaven (2ml/L), BioGrow (1ml/L), BioBloom (1ml/L), and TopMax (1ml/L) to promote blooming Day 26 (20/06): Not that many updates today, just trying to rotate the pot around to expose the different budlets to the centre of the tent where the light is highly concentrated. Can’t wait for this beautiful girl to continue growing, and at this rate it will be the first ready for harvest! Day 27 (21/06): Today I’ve noticed that the AK has a purple-ish tint to the stems that are growing fan leaves (the bud stems seem to be purely green). I’ve also quickly read about this and it seems like it could either be because of the exposure to the light, making it a little “tan” or it could be magnesium deficiency but since it is only slightly purple and not as red/purple as on the pictures online, it don’t think it is anything to worry about either. Will keep a close eye on the AK and GGs as their stems are also purple. But other than that, there are so many new tiny leaves growing in the middle of the plant where it is most exposed so can’t wait until they grow up! I’ve also increased the water to 1L today and it should last about 2-3 days, and I am continuing with the same nutrients Day 28 (22/06): Not that many updates today as well, temperatures are at about 28C but the humidity is around 40-45% and I try to keep it a bit higher because it is naturally quite dry in the tent especially with the lights at 100%. But I did manage to get a beautiful picture of the main bud in all of its pistil glory 🌿 This is just taken with my phone on 2x zoom, might need to invest in a nice macro camera… 🤨
