@Ferenc, Im in Portugal. Down south. I stayed in London. west hampstead then golder green. didn't stay long. very expressive. I was just a tourist staying with mates. good craic tho
@Ferenc,
Definetly worth supporting those guys.
will u holler at me when you decide to use the organic fertilizer RQS sent you in the pic? I'd like to see what kind of results you get with it.
I think when I run out of synthetic nutes I'm switch to organic and implement some KNF techniques for my outdoor at least. my girlfriend one days might toss my stuff out the window but it's a risk well worth taking. she's gonna flip out when see she's a bunch of mason jars with differente colonies of indeginous micro organisms and lacto bacillus bacteria. Im facsinated with soil biology. but I gotta break her in slow. we live in a small flat with very little space so she's got a point. insanely high rent too. don't even know what we're still doing here. I'm burnt out of the city life. I feel trapped here man, my soul doesnt belong here. I'm a country guy and that's that.
A big big shot-out to Royal Queen Seeds and @James providing me this amazing love triangle calm and tame beauty. We have arrived to the end of this beautiful journey and I really like to thank you all the support I have been given and all the likes people. Cheers! 🥂
Happy New Year 2021! ;)
My wife really wants me to grow wedding gelato and I am thinking about it. But how dark does the dark period need to be to trigger flowering? I use a storage cupboard so I am scared that the gaps in the doors will F it up... Also once you switch it into flowering, how strict do you need to be maintaining that 12/12 once flowering starts?
@Ferenc, thanks for such a detailed response! I reckon I'll grow out my dwarf + auto jack then get my wife to buy me a tent if she wants me to grow wedding gelato ;) thanks again! Great community here!
@Namlah, Hi there and thanks for your question.
I. Firstly, it is very important to not to have any light "leakings" whe they "sleep" because she can get back to veg stage or worse she will be hermaphrodite. She can get confused... so make sure your room properly has the right environment.
II. The plants hormones think winter comes so she does not rely on temperature - more about the sunny hours. When she receives less than 14 -13 hours of light she thinks winter comes and starts flowering. This is how dark period triggers flowering. I also recommend to keep in darkness 3 days before switching to 12/12 and then the hormones activates quicker so she will be triggered to flower faster lol managed to write it down 🤪
III. How strict? Very strict.... Well if it happnes that by accident lamp is on longer just keep going. More about sudden light leakings or light penetretion when she is in darkness that is worse. If your lamp is on longer just keep going with the normal flowering schedule once and it is okay but do not repeat it all the time. Some of them more sensitive depends on the type of the strain so please make sure you provide strictly the 12 hours if it is longer darkness no problem she will flower faster but "less" yield.
What I do is every week i make shorter the days with 15 min so she gets in 4 weeks total 1 hour plus darkness like in the nature and then back to 12/12 to have better yield. Huhh. Hope it helps. Regards.
I'm such a fool, I didn't realize you could just break off individual plugs from that RQS tray of starter plugs 😹
will u be using the organic nutrients they sent on this one?
@DaSofaSurfer, Actually I cut it out with scissor.... No needed.... i didn't follow the instructions. What i did is just placed the seeds in the water for 12 hours and then placed between damp kitchen papers and they started germinating.
I didn't let the tap root so long let's say maximum 1.5 - 2cm long because it is micro pot so after hard to place them in. I also made bigger hole in it and put water to be very wet covered the small hole with my finger at the bottom to be like a sponge lets say for 15 second after released the water.
I planted the seed put some soil on the top and sprayed.
Next day they are out. So basically, I haven't used as a germinator - I used as a pot after germination. Really nice quality plants love it.
Great job @James I love that product... I will keep them for next time just changing the soil. Other reason being used because I don't have a space now so it is easy to keep them there after a while reporting. Thanks. From now on I will always start the process with this kit 😍
