The seed germinated in soil, in the final 18 litres pot. The substrate is made with 70% slightly fertilized soil, 20% perlite, 10% vermiculite. I planted it on 8/10 after soaking the soil with 3litres of plain water and after 4 days cotyledons came out. Now she has 2 little leaves. The first 3 days she was out in balcony, temperature was under 20 degrees. Then I moved her in the house under a 14W led 2700K 1100lm lamp. Yesterday, on day 7, I started using my 50W COB LED grow lamp, it should be full spectrum 5000lm, placed 30cm above the pot. Today, on day 8, I gave her the first water, 1,5 litres, added with 2,5ml of Root !t and 1ml of Bio-Grow. I will give her more when the soil will get dry.
It looks very tall maybe because she suffered the early days with poor light. It looks also quite little, but I hope she will start growing soon. Pls feel free to send comments and advices!
Since I'm using a chinese 50W led grow lamp , what is the right distance from the plant? I'm doing 18-6, but since she looks little for her age, would be useful to turn 24-0? many thanks for your help
with your lamp i would suggest using it like so, during veg you should have the lamp 15-18 inches, during flowering you would want it between 10-15 inches.
if you go 24hrs light you should doing that for the first 2 weeks and on the 3rd week go to the 18-6 cycle as the plant responds very well to this and on her 4th week she will look nice. hope this helps and your grow is the right size for her age, your doing just fine
Day 9: the two one-pointed leaves are getting bigger and the two three-pointed leaves are coming out.
Day 10: New leaves are getting bigger, still no watering since day 8, soil is still wet enough. I should be able to give more water around the end of the week. She is 11cm tall.
Day 11: Today she had 7 good hours of sunlight and wind, no water.
Day 12: Nothing to report.
Day 13: Nothing to report.
Day 14: Soil is still quite moist, I think I will give more water and nutrients during week 3.
Day 15: Nothing to report.
Day 16: Today I gave her 1.5lt of tap water added with 1ml/lt of bio-grow, and some coffee grounds on the pot surface (about 50grams). The plant look very nice.
Day 17: She looks really healthy, I guess she will show soon her sexual identity
Day 18: Nothing to report
Day 19: She started to smell a little bit, I think tomorrow will be ready for topping!
Day 20: Topping done, fingers crossed, on day 22 I will start with LST
Day 21: The smell is more present, she seems to react very well to topping. Some leaves are curved upwards, see grow questions. I noticed mushrooms growing on the fabric pot surface 😱😱😱 look at pics
Day 22: tried LST
Hi there!
Topping is a great way to begin any training routine. Topping with no subsequent training doesnt really achieve much, in my opinion. When to top also depends on a few factors, such as;
how long you plan to veg, your maximum grow height, and the strain.
Topping followed by training can result in a more even, lower profile plant, which is usually a good thing. If you plan to train and want to flower asap, I would top the next node, and begin to train the two branches out horizontally. You could also wait another node or two, doesnt really matter much. All in all, thourough research on the topic is worth its weight, I've just scratched the surface here. Hope this helps, cheers😀
Day 22: She seems to respond well to LST, the main stem is bending. Even the problem of the upper leaves seems solved. I guess this "easy" strain have a strong adaptability and doesn't seem stressed at all. The smell is getting everyday stronger.
Day 23: the main stem keeps bending.
Day 24: Nothing to report.
Day 25: Some hours of natural light.
Day 26: She's growing fine even if she has been fed last time almost 2 weeks ago! The soil is still moist...😱😱😱 Added some close-up pics of new internodes
Day 27: Nothing to report.
Day 28: Nothing to report, she grows fine.
Day 29: I noticed the soil quite dry, so I decided to give 1.5lt of tap water at PH 6.5 added with 1.5ml of Bio Bloom fertilizer. She will start flowering soon, I guess this would be the last vegetative week. Probably the soil was very well balanced cause from the seeding I gave water only 4 times, for a small amount compared to the pot dimensions. There are no signs of nutrients deficiency so far. I have to say "easy bud" strain from RQS is very very easy for a first time grower like me! Since she's growing fine, I guess I will practice more LST during this week.
Day 31: Gave her some tap water added with calcium to prevent any kind of deficiency (I'm pretty sure it won't be bad for her).
Day 32: She has been the whole day outside under a nice warm sun. I tried more LST to the main stem to mantain her as low as possible, since in last days I noticed she grew a lot!! 😱😱 The smell is very good and quite strong for my living room so I started to use ONA gel (located few meters away in a upper position). Turned lights from 18-6 to 20-4.
Day 35: She's flowering! the smell gets higher but very pleasant! Added some close ups of flowers!
Hey friend, you are growing indoor and if there is no pests or insects in your tent, that could be due to accidentally damge the leaves at young age.I have many leaves damaged like that due to accidentally touch at young.They only come to visible when they are large.Happy Growing... ✌️
Day 36: She's definitely flowering, I gave her some banana tea, 500ml.
Day 37: Added a new 25W led lamp full spectrum. Right now the DLI of my grow space should be 27-30, which is good for growing and flowering IMO.
Day 38: Given 400ml of banana tea
Day 39: more 400ml of banana tea
Day 40: more 400ml of banana tea
Day 41: nothing to say, she's growing fine, there are no evident signs of deficiency so far.
Day 42: Given 1000ml of tap water with 4ml of bio-bloom and 1ml of bio-grow
Day 42: I noticed buds are getting bigger day by day. Given 400ml of banana tea
Day 44: She is beautiful, isn't she? 😍
Day 48: Flowers are rising... Theoretically I should harvest in 2 weeks, but I guess there would be 3 or 4 to wait. I give her 400ml of banana tea or tap water with bio grow+bio bloom every two days
Day 50: I probably overferted. In last 3 days some lower leaves turned to light green/yellow/purle... so today I removed sick leaves and gave her 1.5lt of tap water PH6.5 to wash a little bit and I will repeat in next days. Fortunately this problem affected just 3 lower leaves so far. Some others are actually turing to yellow but look still healthy so I didn't removed them. Anyway flowers keep on getting bigger and more resinous.
Day 53: Today I washed with 1lt PH 6.5 tap water and I removed 4 more leavs, see pic. I don't understand if I'm giving too many or too few nutrients or if it's due to light burn, too much water or a mixture of causes 😱 please help!
Day 54: I've put a fan to dry the soil, was too moist
Today I washed with 1lt PH 6.5 tap water and I removed 4 more leavs, see pic. I don't understand if I'm giving too many or too few nutrients or if it's due to light burn, too much water or a mixture of causes 😱 please help! thanks
I'm no expert but to me that looks more like a deficiency , where are they on the plant? I have 1 as well that's getting zero light wondering if you're in a similar position,
Have you checked the deficiency charts?
Day 58: Soil is quite dry now. Buds are getting bigger, but honestly I was hoping in something more. According to RQS buds should be ready to harvest in 5-12 days, but I guess they will need more time.
Day 61: Still no watering since last time, the smell is pretty strong in some hours of the day. Pistils are turning amber, so I think in a couple of weeks I should be able to harvest. I don't know If I need to flush... I've used ferts (bio-bloom) just a couple of times during flowering phase, I've used much more banana tea (banana peels soaked in tap water for 48 hours) so maybe flushing is unuseful?
Day 64: pistils are turning amber, leaves are turning yellow, I think in less than 2 weeks I will harvest.
Day 66: No watering since flush on day 61. I think I will harvest on day 73/74.
Day 67: Some hours of fresh air 😀
Day 68: Trying hydric stress and defoliation for the last days, hoping it helps to maximize yeld.
Day 69: I watered for the last time with tap water PH 6.5. Everyday I cut the yellow leaves. -5 to harvest.
Day 71: buds keep on growing, one stem broke after LST some week ago and it is still broken... but the stem is still alive and flowering! I will harvest soon!!!
Day 73: in the day! Harvested in late afternoon, 100grams total wet weight, the smell is very strong now. I should have 20grams dry hopefully
100grams wet weight including stems, 16gr of flowers after 7 days of drying ant 21 Celsius degrees and 45-60% of humidity. I dried them in a paper box. Honestly I would expect a better harvest but the grow space and the light weren't the best. Then I put the flowers in 2 glass jars with a boveda 8gr at 62% of humidity. I open the jars at least 2 hours everyday. I tried it two times... very pleasant high! HIGH UPDATE: after 7-10 day in the glass jar with controlled humidity, the taste improved a lot! Is very nice to smoke!!!
Looking great my dude! Finding it amazing the difference in genetics between our two plants same strain but your girl has grown lanky and mines stayed as a short but very bushy plant
Keep up the good work brother!
@GreenFingeredLT, thanks! well mine is not exactly lanky, but a kind of tall bush, the volume is approx 40x40x60 cm and in the last two weeks she grew a lot. I practiced topping and LST and I have to say it helped her not to get too much tall. I wish I had a bush like your, cause my grow space is very very limited! Anyway you will see, easy bud is really easy to grow, you won't have problems at all! good luck!
