Looks very effective but I'm don't agree with the recommandation. I asked RQS they recommend me to use half for an auto. I think I could have use more, like full nutrients.
So there we are : Harvest time !! (Part1)🙌🤩
I'm very happy with the way she looks. That lady is gorgeous. I really didn’t expect to see this deep red-purple tones for a Jack Auto….those surprises are priceless lol.
For this raw micro-grow , I’m happy with the coming harvest. I did many mistakes like I broke a branch and because I didn’t know really about RQS nutriment, I was scared to over feed it all along the diary.
I’ve used Biobizz Pack Outdoor to complete the nutriments from week 5-6 but always using less than the recommandations.
My point : I read a lot of stuff about Autos on internet. Like they only need half nutriments. I kind of disagree on that. Looking at my plant, I have to say it looks very beautiful and I didn’t loose a lot of leaves since the start, but I do have sign of deficiencies everywhere !! About the flowering stage ,same , I think I could have go to the full nutriment schedule with Biobizz and got much more.
For Pros, about light. On internet it says (pretty much everywhere) :
Ideal PPFD for VEG: 400 to 600 umol/s/m2 and
Ideal PPDF for FLOWER : from 600 to 900 PPFD umol/s/m2
Here I’m just with 30W around 490 umol/s/m2 at the top of the plant and going down to 200 umol/s/m2 at some low parts. So very under the recommandations. But I still got to the full cycle. Of course there is a very BIG inconvenient : It takes way more time than normal !
Today at the top of branches I got all buds with a nice 20 % of brown trichomes. So it was time to cut that.😄 . I got 46 g (wet) for the moment.
But under the mains buds there was a whole other situation. News pistils , flower still in the process of maturation ,clear trichomes … So I'm leaving it for the moment. It looks like a mini version of the already mini version. lol 😂. I’m going to give it an other 2 to 3 weeks I think. But damn I’m going to 18 weeks .
I’ll update all the missing infos as soon as I can with the coming harvest .(part 2)
Thanks for all the comments and the support !!!
Contrary at C***(an other website), people here were very cheerful and nice.
It was a pleasure to share this little experiment on this website. Thanks to everyone.😀
EDIT : Final dry weight is 25.8g. I'm pleasantly surprised ;)
About the effect, the first harvest with 20% of brown trichomes is more "heavy stuff" , makes you a bit (too) relaxed for day time. The rest was perfect. So next time I won't wait that long and just harvest when trichomes are whites.
Nice grow and awesome pics! What camera setup are you using?
Btw I'm also growing a Royal Jack in a 3l pot, I had some deficiencies using RQS easy boost too!
I'm now adding BioBizz nutes at every watering and it's going a lot better!
@SonCaribou,thanks for that. That's so weird because I've put 9 gr (so half yours) but the underfeed signs started around the 5-6th weeks. Anyway, thanks BioBizz was there lol :)
@MyGrow, I put 18g (~15g should be the right amount using the ratio of 50g/10l). I started BioBizz like 1 week after the first signs of underfed because I had to order them online. Also I think I had some pH issues, but now I'm using some ph- to get it right!
I'm using BioBizz indoor try-pack which has Grow, Bloom and TopMax I started the first week at 4/3/1 (ml/l) and now only 1/1/4 to avoid overfeeding. It has recovered and looking good since then! (2 weeks ago)
@FreshCoastOrganics, Thanks so much !! I'm trying my best hehe , I'm glad the pictures turned well . I'm trying 360° pictures on black background...not very successful yet, maybe with more practice .... But thanks again mate, I appreciate 😉
