1st Grow Report - RQS Shogun (organic)

YuriBoyka Hey Guys, made it till ~Day 5, going well so far. I watered today from bottom and sprayed from time to time. At the moment I'm only using 32W of 128W at a ~15cm Distance (1 of 4 modules enabled). Tomorrow(25.11) I'm going to enable two more modules(3 of 4 = 96W) and move the light up.

YuriBoyka Hey Guys, Starting the week with some tiny roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. Perfect! Thats what we wanna see. I let them be till the end of this week, when they are going in their final container (8L Rootpouch). Since I will be using supersoil, it is one the one hand good if the plants get a little bit stronger before getting into contact with the nutrient-rich soil, and on the other hand the soil can continue improving its quality, through bacteria, microorganisms and worms. 01.12. - Put the three Shoguns in 8L RootBags, Supersoil bottom, Mix at the sides, little bit of coco on top. Timing was alright, roots all around. It usually takes a few Days to see if they are happy plants after transplant or not. Since I am using self made soil, we will see. Top Left will be my side chick AutoOGKush. Gave them little bit of water. 100 ml each

YuriBoyka Summary: Hey Guys, All in all we are on the right track. Im planning for about 2 more weeks of vegi, before transitioning into flower. I dont want them to get to big, since my space is quite limited when growing 4 plants at once ,which is quite greedy 😈(0.36m²) But every Seed made it this time, and i just cant throw anyone out 😱 As you can see, i tried exposing the lower flower branches to more light, because in past grows those never really made it, or just one of two. The "side project" experiment is Auto OGKush, topped once, lets call it a goodie, since she will be getting way to less light to reach her full potential, when switching into 12/12 soon. 04.12 Turned them 45° degree, with help from wood skewers 05.12 They are growing, but they are slow... no worries yet! 07.12 Watered: 3x 550ml 1x 300ml 08.12 tied them together for stability, when using wood skewers as mentioned above

YuriBoyka Summary: Week 4 a little set back(Og had to go), but the Shoguns are doing fine. I was a bit too conservative on watering. Also I believe that watering through a "saucer" is not exclusively viable. There are some fungus gnats around, so keeping the top soil dry for some time was definitely okay thing to do. When watering from Top, i notice increase health and grow by the end of the day, while watering from bottom just seem to make the pot "heavy". Edits: 10.12. Little bit to much Nitrogen, some flies here and there, roughly about 15 cm tall, all in all nothing to worry about. It feels like the plants have not fully rooted, but i expect them to do so this week. With roots system getting stronger, I also expect some accelerating growth. Also I tried stressing my plants less, by replacing the wood skewers for wire. 11.12. Maybe gave them water which was much to low ph, so I decieded to give them some more with "right ph(~6,5)" So they ended up getting ~750ml instead of 500 as planned. No worries :). I watered from bottom, to keep topsoil dry because I can see some "Trauermücken" and possibly "Thripse" But plants look fine, no signs of any problems so far 15.12 Had to chop the SideProject since I saw some signs of it becoming a hermaphrodite (99% certainty). Honestly, no big problem , more room and this report is about the RQS Shogun anyway. Still a little bit sad..😩, Watered 16.11. Swapped postitions of #3 and #1

YuriBoyka Beautiful ending of the week, looking strong, in transition to flower now. If no problems occure🙏 this is going to be massive💪😎👌 21.12. They are ready for transition. Most branches are exposed well to light, and are more or less in a plane, for low standards. I waited a little bit longer with going into flower then in previous "photoperiod-grows", There are several more individual branches at the top(for me), as expected if you keep vegging longer. I will try a smooth transtion by reducing light hours each day(for 6 days) till I reach 12/12. 23.12 Watering 550-700ml, depended on individual weight. No Root Complex anymore (picture follows). Also i cut the Alfa Boost for now since it began to smell funny, ,which is okay to a degree, since it claims to be organic, but honestly I dont see the need for using it. Maybe reintroduce it later in small dosis. I'm using Citrus Juice (15% Solution) to correct PH. 10 Drops per litre does the job for me (from well above 7 to around 6.5). I have been doing so the whole time 👋. I am using test liquid to measure ph level before and after.

YuriBoyka Hey, whats up? Reducing light hours each day, so Day 40 will be her first Day after 12 Hours sleep. Otherwise doing fine, removed some leaves on Day 38. 28.12. Slow growth this week till now. Soil is quiet dry but tomorrow they will be watered, I expect a visible boost from that. All lights enabled, total 128W (previous 96W) 30.12. - Strong ending of the Week. She took the water provided yesterday well. TopLeft is bigger than the other two. Im excited for next week , stay tuned! 😎👌

YuriBoyka Happy New Year everybody! 2020.... what a year 😤😷 02.01. First week of bloom, i will add post later this week, when there is more to see. For now, I think im seeing some preflowers, new leaves are slightly yellow, which is not optimal. I will update if it is getting problematic. 03.01 Watered today. I added some banana peel and some "melasse" to the water. I encountered numerous fungus gnats today, which I anticipated and a solution will arrive later this week. 😈😈😈 Unfortunatly, I think there is something else, but when fungus gnats are gone I can tell for sure. There are some damaged leaves, though the damage is minuscule. 05.01 As you can see two of the shoguns(ont the right) stay more compact while the other one(on the left) takes the rest! She has been the strongest one since Week 3-4 so this is not surprising. Maybe genetic, maybe stunned growth with the other two, we dont know. I treated them the same. I take a few leaves everyday, to thin out this massive leaf roof! Growth overall is ok i guess. Stay healthy! 06.01 Forgot To take a picture for "Day 49"😅 I was a bit too late and no lights after sleep. I make it up with more detailed pictures next week. SF Nematodes on duty💀💀💀! 😎👌

YuriBoyka Hey guys , its going well, Plants look healthy and strong. The smaller ones are a bit more lime coloured while the big one is a bit darker. Flower slowly coming, i have to be more patient 😂 08.01 Added 1 Liter soil on top, instead of fertilizing! 12.01. Reeeeeeeaaallllly slooooooow 😒, there is progress but very little. Lets see what tomorrow brings 13.01. Plants looks well but still close to no progress, maybe it gets to cold at night, otherwise I have no idea 😕 😎👌

YuriBoyka Hey Guys, we are back! So in the last 2 weeks, I couldnt really tell a difference when opening the tent in the morning 😒, but on 15.01. I could definitly tell something had happend. Very glad those girls finally come around. Im not sure if stretch is over or not, we will see, very excited now again! 19.01 - I will remove lower bud sites on 2 of the 3 plants to see the difference it might make. 20.01. What a day ! The orange is finally gone and the plants are looking at their best! Excited for next Week! 😎👌

YuriBoyka Sorry for this week.😅 i was kinda busy, next week old standards again. See you then

YuriBoyka Hey Guys as promised, here are the first 3 pics for this week. They average about 55cm with the tallest one being 60cm and the two smaller being 50cm. The light is 40 cm from the flat in the middle not the "main-tops" They develop a slight smell and I like it alot 😍, very promising🙏. I hope they will put on some weight soon 😈 💪 till then 😎👌 So the week went well, a few flies are back, but the plants seem resiliant enough to not give a damn. Missed 1 Day , so sorry :D !Hasta luego!

YuriBoyka Yoyo whats up? I hope u doing fine, I can not complain, plants looking great. I added some Bat Guano, and will add some "molasses" from time to time to the nutrient shedule. She is defiintely not an explosive one, luckily im patient

YuriBoyka it is, what it is only few pics this week, some minor problems with the biggest one, some brown spots on some leaves(mostly which were exposed to light the most) If anyone has/had the same problem and can pinpoint a solution, that would be nice. If had this issue several times in different grows. Other than that slow progress, which i got used to by now! Peace Out 😎👌 While i sometimes have trouble to see a change from day to day pictures and start complaining, when you look weekly the progress is more visible. They are doing just fine!

YuriBoyka Hey, no new problems detected, the "bigOne" still suffers from brown spots, might be a demand for nutrients, since she is the biggest one, and the only one with that specific problem. I will tackle the problem with some more bat-💩(Guano) and more molasses. After that pure Ph'ed water. I developed quiet some hate on the little gnats by now, so 💀Seal-Team"SF-Nematodes"💀 has been deployed again, to set an example! It wont change much at this time, but its about principles 😂 Have a good one lads 2-4 more weeks to go 😎👌

YuriBoyka Hey guys, almost done, if you look closely at 27.02A you can see they a few new green spots, so its still ramping weight :D Im hyped up for the next project, so im not mad if this doesnt take to much more time. Only the BigOne shows dying/yellow leaves yet, but the buds need more time . The smaller ones still look vital in color,but the buds tend to be more riper(more brownish). 😎👌

YuriBoyka Yoyo, plants still strong in color, the supersoil seems to work well. I gave them another haircut which I really should have done earlier, I checked with microscope well mixed(brown/white, some clear), depending on which part you look at, all harvestable. We will see if there will be visible benefit from letting the other two stay around for a week longer. Tomorrow is flush day, not mandatory since im growing bio, but i do it anyway, it wont hurt. 03.03 Flushed out some stuff, in 300ppm out 800ppm, so I proper flushed and gave them some ph'ed water afterwards. 06.03 Its almost time👻 , unsure of watering one more time or not, the girls to the right are still pretty green. Anyways there will be an extended dark period before harvest, just a few more days patience! 09.03 WE DONE! ~71 Days of flowering ->113 Days Total! 😎👌

YuriBoyka Wow for organic grow, no fertilizers used, im impressed. Only Citrus Juice for ph , Molasses , and some RootComplex. Im sure they will lose some more weight while curing. Im curious about the quality! Not everything went perfect but all in all pretty well! I will update again when first tried. 😎👌
