Garlic Mist - Pheno hunt

Oyziphar 👉 This year, RQS launched 5 new regular strains. The seeds are packed with10 pieces. 38 seeds out of 50 turned out beautiful (see my previous diaries). 👉 Before I put the plants into bloom, I took 2 cuttings from each plant. As soon as I knew which were the female plants, I deleted the male plants and the corresponding clones. 👉 Now I am going to raise the cuttings and flower the female plants in 5 new diaries. This diary is about the Garlic Mists # 1, # 6, # 7.

Oyziphar The clones turned a little light green, which is why they will be very happy that I repotted them.

Oyziphar Plants are growing well

Oyziphar DAY41 First time topping

Oyziphar DAY 46 Topping and repotting the plants to 7 liter containers

Oyziphar Keep growing 😛

Oyziphar Keep growing 😵

Oyziphar I moved the plants to the flower area. This way they can get used to the HPS light instead of the LED. Soon I will start flowering. 😍

Oyziphar Drastic defolitation : I chose 3 main branches for main-lining. Low stressed training to keep all 3 branches even in height. Repotting from 7 liter pots to 25 liters Mix for 3 plants : 60 liter Lightmix 150 gram Biovin 150 gram Calcified seaweed 100 gram Flower Safer (in the topsoil) + Per plant (25 liter pot) : 4 Healthy Start grow 21 gram tablets (at the bottom)

Oyziphar First week of flowering period 😍

Oyziphar 👉 The plants have started producing flowers. Growth slows down a bit. 👉 I have stopped adding liquid fertilizers. The roots can now get nutrition from the 4 tablets that I put in each pot. 👉 I still use liquid root stimulator. 👉 Each plant has 3 main branches. I regularly remove the lower branches and leaves. 👉 I use plastic plant ties to get the branches at the same height (LST). 👉 I put smaller plants on a platform so that I get a flat canopy. 👉 Plant height varies from 70 to 75 cm.

Oyziphar Garlic Mist #1 : 89cm Garlic Mist #6 : 75cm Garlic Mist #7 : 75cm The plants are now well in bloom. To ensure sufficient light for the lower flowers, I removed the largest fanleaves twice this week.

Oyziphar Garlic Mist #1 : 92cm Garlic Mist #6 : 76cm Garlic Mist #7 : 79cm Only minimal growth this week. Plant # 1 is clearly the least developed in terms of buds. Maybe she has more sativa genetics and it all goes a bit slower for her. 💤 Plant # 7 is my favorite. 😛 All plants are doing great. 👌 Now that they have started blooming well, you can also see the differences between the plants become more apparent. 😉 I also had to defoliate them this week. 👽 Some plants have quite large leaves that took too much light from the buds below.😇 Less low stress training because the growth of the plants has almost stopped. 👍 This week I started giving Plagron Green Sensation and a light dose of Alga Bloom, because some of the larger leaves turned a little less dark green. It also contains some quickly absorbing nitrogen. 👽 The basic nutrition comes from the four Healthy Start Tablets (21gr slow release) and the Biovin. 😘 No more Power Roots. Their work is done. 😆 I also increased the room temperature. 👍

Oyziphar 18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. . The Garlic Mist plants are not that beautiful and do not have a nice flower formation. Plenty of leaves; so a lot of defoliation work. GM # 1 - 92cm - lots of leaves, Even after defoliation, the buds are actually hidden behind the leaves. GM # 6 - 76cm - better leaf / bud ratio than # 1, but the buds don't get that fat either GM # 7 - 79cm - can be compared to # 6 but buds are better developed.

Oyziphar 18x plants, clones 5x different strains 3x "Garlic Mist" plants, clones of female regulars I had some doubts this week. Trichome production is slow to start, and the plants have too many leaves. Some plants are clearly doing better than others, but I have certainly grown better varieties of RQS. 😕 But if you're looking for something unique, these regulars are excellent. 😍 All 5 of the brand new regulars strains of RQS are unique in their scent and aroma. 👍 In my original first outdoor culture of these regulars (see other diaries) the indicated harvest time of early October turned out to be totally unrealistic. 😠 That's why my goal now is to get some unique phenos of these ladies. This will certainly work. This Garlic Mist is the strangest crossing of the new regular strains from RQS. 😏 The plants don't produce many flowers. Looks like pheno # 3 has buds with even more leaves than flowers. 😢 With the two other phenos # 6 and # 7 things are going in the right direction and have a promising scent. 😃 . But also here often very small leaves in the buds 😒 Thanks to LST and topping, each plant has three main buds. The plastic plant stakes serve to support the heavy buds. 💪 The plants had a weekly vigorous defoliation. 😮 This week they got their last defoliation before harvesting. 😦 They are now very bare, but this will give the lower buds a lot of light, allowing all buds to ripen hard. 😍 GM # 1 lots of leaves, Even after defoliation, the buds are actually hidden behind the leaves. GM # 6 has a better leaf / bud ratio than # 1, but this plant also slowly grows fat GM # 7 can be compared to # 6 buds but faster flower formation and less leaves.

Oyziphar 18x plants, clones (clones taken from females of my previous (regular) grow) 5x different strains 3x "Garlic Mist" plants As I mentioned last week : I have certainly grown better varieties of RQS. 😕 Too many leaves; Too few trichomes. Probably not that much THC. Fortunately, some plants have started to gain considerable weight. 😊 Thanks to LST and topping, each plant has three main buds. 👍 The plastic plant stakes serve to support the branches. 💪 My goal was to get some unique phenos of these ladies. Garlic Mist #7 is my favourite. Garlic Mist #1 is a complete failure. 😟 GM # 1 lots of leaves, Even after large defoliations GM # 6 has a better leaf / bud ratio than # 1 GM # 7 is my favourite . Faster flower formation and less leaves 👊😍

Oyziphar This week started with cold nights. Let's see if some colors start to show. Garlic Mist #7 is my favourite pheno.

Oyziphar 😕This week has not gotten any better. Even worse. So my verdict is harsh : The new line of regular seeds of RQS has disappointed me very much. 😠I had hoped the plants would thicken this week. But it seems the plants have started to die. I am really not satisfied with these regular seeds. 😩Although I had a clone from each plant, with the intention of continuing with interesting phenotypes, I eliminated the clones. There is no plant interesting enough to continue with. 😡My adventure with these regulars has cost me a lot of time and work, both outdoor and indoor. Unfortunately with disappointing results.

Oyziphar The plants in this grow diary are the clones of the original mother plants (see my other grow diary). The mother plants were already a disappointment in my previous outdoor cultivation, but I blamed that on the interruption of the light deprivation, but now it appears that they also do not perform well under artificial light. The RQS regular plants grow in a normal way, but after a few weeks of flowering they show hardly any trichomes. The plants produce far too much leaves, even during flowering. The leaves also turn dark green very quickly. They seem to have difficulty converting the nutrition into flowers. The plants require a lot of defoliation. The leaf / bud ratio is therefore very low.
