RQS 3 Strains + 1 Random

Started the whole process on 7th of January. Still waiting for lights and tent. Should arrive next week. At end of the 1st week the tent and lights arrived. Tomorrow I'll set up the tent and lights Thinking to move all 4plants to 11l pots straight away

Finally finished the preparations and managed to mount the setup . Just moved from old place into tent , still 2 per pot , but tomorrow I'll move biggest ones into 11l pots (2x) and other 2 will remain into 5l pots until later this week or maybe start of next week. Light at about 65-70CM away on 50% intensity (TS1000) Day 2 of Week 2: Transplanting : I know I said that 2x per 11l pots and 2x per 5l but as them all were in paper cups , they started to develop roots through the paper cap and would've make it harder later , on 2 of them I could not remove the paper cup at all, on other 2 just partially. Mixed the soil pretty well not to have "blocks" and have proper airflow , on all the pots i've made holes at the bottom (4 per each pot) just in case of overwatering and for drainage. Added around 200ml of water per plant (watered the soil a bit too on the spot where I've transplanted) and hoping all will be okay

To not confuse myself , started to count days instead of weeks , day 1 is the day when I started germination process(6th of Jan) Day 25 : I'm not sure if I should start TOPPING yet . but i'll wait few more days . seems the plants love the TS1000 Moved the light to 60CM and increased intensity to 60% . after topping i'll increase to 75% seems the Purple queen is having a hard time growing , but i have faith in her :D Day 29 : added 2 fans for airlow . topped GCP and Critical today , no LST yet , I'll wait another few days and I'll tie them . added 4 sticks of universal nutrient(NPK 10-5-6)per pot and watered it down - it says enough for 1 month . I'll keep in mind if any nutrient deficiencies appear later on.

Been interesting this week , seems plants got bigger and thicker , didn't stunt by much when I topped , I did top the PQ and Random on Day 30(i'm having second thoughts on the random , looks like a male plant , but i'll give it a try - when i switch to flower i'll know for sure) DAY 32: LST started , looks good so far , bud sites given more light , some of them already stretching , probably i'll top twice on GCP and critical as i'm still waiting for PQ to grow . Increased intensity of light to 100% and its 50cm away from canopy . started to give them around 200ml of water daily Day 37: a bit of heavier LST in progress, trying to get them buds to light. For GCP/critical/random I have 8 colas from the main stem, which should be enough if they will grow uniformly(hopefully). Had to add more soil to Queen during this week, but didn't disturb the plant roots. Won't perform much LST on Queen as I will try SCROG, will see how they all develop.

Day 44 : As I'm getting more and more into vegetative , seems I have some nutrients deficit (calcium in this case ) occurring in GCP and PQ , other 2 seems fine for now . I'm getting my Canna nutrients next week , hoping wont get very bad in the mean time Some leaves are turning a bit yellowish , no idea why , but nothing major yet , still hoping nutrients will fix it Other than that , just LST , plants gets bushier

Day 51 : Quite a lot happened this week😅 , lost 2 branches and one is taped up 😥 , got them nutrients 😇, new ventilation system 😎 - experiencing as first time growing 😂 , lets start with first Plants got bigger ,but as younglings , I did tie them down with rope , was not thin ... but still damaged the plant , when I LSTed the GCP , didn't seem like they were hurt(just had a small markings from rope) , but few days later the 2 of them branches snapped , nearly falling down , tried taped them up , but no success on those 2 , 1 of them salvaged , let's see if will get in shape next few days , just on GCP branches snapped , others are fine , removed all rope as I had 1 or 2 left . Also just 1 of the branch was more "healthy" and i've added some RHIZOTONIC in water and maybe , maybe it will become a clone 😅 Nutrients arrived , I still don't have a TDS/EC + PH (electronical ones ) to measure the ppm properly ... (getting them tools on next week - hopefully ) I've added a medium dosage as per feed chart of Canna Terra , hopefully it will fix the nutrient deficit on GCP Watering every 2 days with 500-600ml of water/ each plant (soil seem dry so not overwatering ) and today was first day of nutrients from Canna(day 51) 😉 Added 2 new fans(the old ones died 1-2 days of running) in the grow room and now also extraction fan + filter 😎 , should be all set for flowering , I want to flip the switch on 60th day Also on Nutrients I will do water-feed-water-feed (every 2 days ) , just not to stress them more - think they had enough - but who knows 😅

Day 58 : Another week , again lots happened 😂 first things first 1. So I got my PH and TDS meters few days ago , I thought the spring water had lower PH and not that high PPM , but seems I was sooo wrong... after Calibration of meters , my spring water had a wooping 7.8 PH and 500 PPM , just the water itself . no wonder the GCP had some issues .... But now all good , I don't have a PH- (it would cost me 30$ ) so after researching a bit , I'm using squeezed fresh lemon juice to lower my ph , I use around 4ml of lemon juice per litre of water , ph goes from 7.8 to ~6.2 ,also using different water , with ppm of 250 . I've fed them plants every watering , cuz old water had 500PPM , with new water + nutes = 550-600 (and just added Tera flores yesterday and increased the PPM to ~720) , no problem so far with nut burn or anything like that . 2. Defoliation 😵so yesterday i've decided to defoliate "a bit" , it was a jungle in there x.x , it was a lot ... took me around 30-40mins per plant , first timer but I think my girls loved it , added 1 pic with how many leaves I took off 😆 honestly didn't think I would chop so many 😲 3. Day 58 is the first day of 12/12 , on day 56 had 16h light , day 57 = 14h of light 4. Have a strange feeling that the random will turn out to be male , but who knows ... its just so different (might be just genetics ) , but I'm keeping a close eye for when sex is showing 5. Added a scrog net , still having a bit of doubts if to use the net or not , might be harder for me to reach when watering ... Other than that was fine , GCP had recovered pretty well with ph water , some leaves are bit yellowish still , but much better

Day 65 - Day 7 Flowering - not much has happened (finally 😅 ) , plants are happy , small nutrient deficiency , turns out the "Random" is having pistils It's been a week since I flipped the switch to 12/12 , no major issues , I've stopped with Terra Vega and using just Flores and cal-mag + rhziotonic , I wait another week to give them some PK 13/14 (probably for 2 weeks or so) Seems I have some nutrient deficiency ? on PQ there's some burnt spots and on GCP 2-3 leaves are having brownish marks , I use cal-mag every watering (1ml/l ) but still seems the deficiency is there .. if keeps affecting more leaves , I'll increase the dosage . I don't want to use to much nutrients , seems some tips are yellowish on both PQ and GCP (she did had issues before so can't expect to be perfect) . PPM 700-800 Did feed yesterday , just ph water with cal/mag before ( keeping 1 watering / 1 feed ) Seems all plants showing pistils , even the "random" has them , so I assume is a female 😁 Stretching is going well , PQ is slower (ofc 😒 ) ,but overall , the tent is getting full 😎 Happy growin'

Day 72 - Flowering 14 👌 Not much to say about this week - mainly plants has stretched 10-20 cm (10 on PQ and 20+ on Random) 1 - nice develop in buds forming on GCP and Critical 2 - PQ is still slower then other , but she had some stretch too 3 - Still having some nutrient deficiency on PQ and GCP - increased the last feed with calmag to 1.5ml/l water 4 - Random surprises me , seems it's a 'she' as I was saying last week , but man ... look how thicc that stem is 😲 as I've seen she will stretch more , she's at 40cm away from light , but no light burn ,i got space but can't raise/lower much as I need for others too 5 - PQ on the other hand ... slower , but stretched , buds forming are slower too , we shall see if we gonna have same harvest day or different days for each strain

Day 79 - 21 Flowering Welcome to another week 😎 All goes according to schedule but things are happening :) 1 : buds forming is going well on GCP and Critical , again PQ is slower (but shows some purple pistils 👌) 2 : introduced PK 13/14 to my girls , just 0.5ml/l water but gave up on rhizotonic (don't think i need anymore , gave up on rhizotonic so the PPM wont be that high when I added PK) 3 : I was thinking to defoliate as other says 21-25 days in flowering I should do the 2nd defoliation , it's abit of a jungle , but should be fine , I wont defoliate 4 : Light is about 35cm from the Random and 50cm for others 5 : Still some slight deficiencies on GCP and PQ , but not much and not spreading , all plants get same treatment , so I wont do anything stupid and only intervene in worst cases . just spraying some Ca-mg (using 2ml/l) (on top of cal-mg in the water ) 6: Random (the plant) is still getting taller day by day , i'm trying to keep her shorter by letting her grow closer to light and hoping that when gets small light burns it will stop stretching - no luck , she's like : "fu*k your light , ima grow how much I want ye ? " . Buds forming is different from RQS strains , didn't had any deficiencies on her (nor on Critical) See you next week 😉

Day 86 - 28 Flowering Welcome to another week 😎 - not much to say tho 1 : seems the Random wont stop stretching , so i'll do some LST on the tallest stems to lower the light a little more 2 : increased the PK 13/14 to 1.5ml and later this week i'll increase to 2-2.5ml 3 : not sure if able to see from picture ,but GCP is fattening and such nice "snow" on buds - thinking this might be first to harvest - probably next week will be last feed with nutes , to have 2 weeks or so of PH water for flushing 4 : kinda overwatered the PQ seems , i'm not able to get much of a soil view on that plant , can't really say when soil is dry , so i've watered in same time as all others , got a lot of runoff in pot tray (500ml or so ) when I did use only 1.5l of water . took this chance to measure the run-off and was 1600-1700PPM and 6.2PH - seems okay . didn't affect the plant Thanks for stopping by 👍 See you next week 👊

Day 93 - 35 Flower Another week passed 😀 getting closer 😆 can't wait to taste 😇 Not much has happened this week , but summary : 1: PQ having some nitrogen toxicity (or at least I think that is ) so I've given just Cal-mag and water to all plants - giving them a week break from nutes 2: Random is fattening but still grew a lot ... its at 20CM from light , but will stay like this (hopefully) 3: got 2 Humidity absorber things , hoping to lower the RH to 50% as i'm in last month (or so) Check again next Wednesday 😎 Enjoy 👌

Day 100! - 42 Flowering Not much to say , but as usual , some words 😆 -Nice buds development on all plants , but gosh Random is on a whole different level - still no idea what this plant is , or breeder -Had to raise some pots up to even a bit the surface and even raised the lights at max ... random is 30CM away while others around 50CM -Random has some light burn but nothing major -Critical has some leaves that are burnt or something (just the tips of leaves , been a week now , not spreading and seems on 1/2 colas only) -Breeder says that will take 8-9 weeks of flowering , today is starting week 7 , so I'll do 1 more nutrient feed and then just balanced PH water - dunno if the Canna Flores or PK 13/14 would actually give a harsh taste , but I'll follow them guides It's nice to see that plants are nearly even(at least level) now as entering last 2-3 weeks of flower 😁 Check again next Wednesday 😎 Enjoy 👌

Day 107 - 49 Flowering Welcome 😎 Another week has passed , entering 8th week of flowering 😇 : Last feed was 2 days ago , from now just plain spring water with lemon juice to lower the PH to 6.2-6.3 ( I'll have a citrusy taste from that probably 😐) Random is sticky when touched , much more sticker than others GCP is showing the purplish from the Purple Punch x Green crack cross - love her <3 - been through a lot but very nice buds PQ - is okay , struggled to get her out from overwatering and toxicity , not much success , but its growing 😟 Critical - didn't get as big as others and not that dense either . but I think it will be the first to cut Today I've got a 60-100x Levenhuk Microscope - attached some trichomes pics (don't really remember which are which - its so hard to stabilize at such zoom - had to delete a lot of them as were blurry) And finally I got a Dehumidifier 😎 Hope it works okay , it's under the plants - hoping that will do the trick to lower the humidity to 45-50% Most trichomes are still cloudy and some clears Not sure how long until harvest , but I'll say 7-10 days for sure , soooo , see you next week 😎💪

Day 114 , 56 Flowering Another week , closer and closer to harvest 😎 In next few days I'll chop Critical first , I did overwater(I think) in week 4-5 flowering . either I've fed her twice , but it's too late now anyway , I saw how some lower and smaller buds pistils became prematurely brown , could also be a root issue , I'll check roots after chop Critical's trichomes started to get brownish/amber , checking everyday , pistils are 90% or so brown. GCP is doing great , more and more pistils turning brown and more and more purplish 😍 probably next week she'll be ready PQ is holding 😬 still has pistils to turn brown Random just around 20% brown pistils , but again very very sticky and has the most dense cloudy trichomes , probably like 10 days on this I'll keep updated as I chop down 😆😎

After 6 days of drying , I've got 25g on scales and some buds that I've smoked , total of 30g+ dried . not bad for a overwatered plant . Taste is so smooth and lasts longer then any bought stuff

Day 121 - 63 Flowering All goes well , today will be last day of light , I'll try the 48h darkness before harvest . As I chop them down , i'll keep updating Been an amazing journey , with ups and downs but I'm happy with the result . Critical has been dried - around ~30g dried (already smoked some grams) - it's has an amazing taste , not harsh on throat , gets me high and last for a good while . it's so much above the street stuff or from any delivery guys Thanks for checking 😎 P.S - not final notes about grow , long post about whole journey after I've cut everything and dried
