Biscuits and ice-cream at the Palace

19.09 RQS AUTUMN COMP Started germination on these 2 beauties. Dropped one seed on the kitchen floor, can't find it for the life of me, must be tiny, must be somewhere..... 21.09 All 4 seeds Germinated (didn't take a photo) roots looked very healthy. Placed into soil. Watered and covered with "dome". 23.09 Day 1 Less than 36 hours all seedlings have emerged! Let's begin!

29.09 Day 8 Doing there thang. Day 11 On form.

06.10 Day 17 Transplanted today into 1L Pots. 07.10 Day 18 It won't let me enter 2 diaries so going to use this for both strains.... What else can I do? 09.10 Day 20 Really good growth, especially with the gorilla's. 👍

14.10 Day 25 All plants are looking good and healthy. Going to top them soon in the next few days. 17.10 Day 29 Roots poking out the bottom so put them into their final containers now.

20.10 Day 32 These two are the slightly healthier out of the four. But they all are doing fine.

25.10 Day 37 All plants topped 2 or 3 days ago. Training the tops flat now. Looking good, still no nutrients. 31.10 Day 42 All plants are looking sexy. Responding to the topping and training very well. Going to give them around 2 more weeks of vegging.

5.11 Day 47 Fday2 Sent these girls into flower yesterday so from now on counting from flower days. Day 2.

10.11 Fday9 One royal gorilla is shorter and fatter than her sisters. One of the cookies gelato has way thinner, spindly stems with long leaf stems and long internode spacing too. No nutrients yet, just the soil. Looking a little lacking in mag so might add some molasses and calmag to the party. Might try one of the rqs bloom boost tabs in 2/4 plants, seeing as my other plants needed a small npk boost mid to late flower.

19.11 Day 18 All plants are looking healthy, did some fan leaf removal and lollipopping (hopefully enough this time I never do it enough). Moved them into the spiderfarmer tent and spaced them out.

07.12 F Day 36 Still just water for these girls. Wondering if I miss-labeled them now... The 2 in the fabric pots look identical as do the 2 in the airpots. But it was meant to have one of each strain in each pot. Maybe it's the pots making them look different? Forgot to update last week. Looking healthy though, pulled a few more fan leaves off, More bud shots on the way.

11.12 FDay 40 Took about 5 leaves off each plant today. Buds are building up nicely! Adjusted the light a little.

17.12 F47 I am definitely thinking I mixed up the seeds now. The 2 in the airpots are now likely to be the same strain and I'm guessing royal gorilla because of the purpleing. The 2 in the fabric pots must be cookies gelato. They are taller, greener and way thicker stems. If anyone could chime in and help me out identifying the two strains that would be appreciated 🤦‍♂️ Still no nutes given. Under 12 hours of spiderfarmer light 19.12 Day 49 Noticed some odd (or not) deformeties on the 2 (what I believe to be after the potential mixup) cookies gelato....

27.12 Day 57 Trimmed about 20 fan leaves off today. This plant has so much leaf material like I've never seen before, you can hardly see the flowers! There is a possible polyploid or fasciation growing on one of the buds, looks interesting. Flowers are growing all over the stem and the leaves are hugging them tight. The buds fell dense and compact and smell like pure sticky pine. 28.12 Day58 The other three plants are showing purples. After rubbing the leaves, I've come to the conclusion that my original placing and labeling of the seeds was correct. The gorilla has a distinct pine smell and the cookies gelato is sweet as.

31.12 F Day 61 Plants are looking great. The closer to finish might be 10/14 days away. Still no nutes, believe it or not!

2.01 Day62 This one's looking the closest to the finish line but I'm definitely going to let these plants go for as long as possible. Smell is not so strong on either strain but the trichome production is great 👍💪 09.01 Day 68 Good progress. I reckon another 2 weeks and most of these will be coming down!

17.01 Gave a little pk today and probably the last. Most of these plants are coming down soon. They're really picking up pace now and trichomes are filling in with nice and milky cloudiness.

19.01 F78 The cookies gelato is looking nearly ready. Lovely purple colours and sweet skunky/cheesy smells. The royal gorilla is catching up but a week or two behind the cookies girls. 21.01 F Day 80 I chopped the most yellowing one down and going to do the tall purple one too later on. 21.10 Update Trimmed the purple plant now. So cookies gelato is done.

26.01 F Day 84 Plants are soooooo close now. The big gorilla has really fattened up, she's looking and smelling incredible! The smaller pheno looks great too and will be ready around the same time hopefully within a week! 🌱👍 29.01 Trichomes are looking nice and cloudy now! Think I'm going to chop them down today... 31.01 One plant left now. One more week? 2.02 Smell had increased massively over the last few days. Trichomes are getting thick and cloudy. 2-3 more days maybe?

4.02 Gone into jars. Plant 1 - 7g the shorter one Plant 2 - 28g (the purple pheno) 09.02 Tested a bud from the smaller plant that only yielded 7g. Absolutely delicious, very powerful, very strong scent, taste and aroma, taste is like pepper and pine (to me) covered in trichs too, pictures above of this bud I smoked and in the grinder.

Plant 1 - was very leafy, horrible to trim and the lower buds were really just a cluster of sugary leaves. Plant 2 - (still drying) took a little longer, got more fade and more purple on the flowers. Buds look nice, alot less leaf matter.
