Hey! My ladies are growing massive!! Tall and bushy! Eventually I had to change the height of the lights as I noticed some signs of hheet stress! After applying that big AC to the room, I could manage the heet but still the plants didn’t like it very much! So Im leave 1Veg/2Bloom lights on for 20h,but increase the lights for a few hours evry one a while to maximum. I also did my last defoliation and made a video for you guys . Best of luck!

I’m excited to see what RQS have to offer with this little Gem! I’ve been waiting to try another of Royals Automatics, Green Gelato is a strain I very much look forward to with desert strains being at the Top of my list 🥇 It’s been an eventful first few days.. (arnt they always!) she’s poked her head up yesterday so Day 1 is 30/03/20. Let’s see how this week treats her, I plan to keep a close eye on the environmental conditions and to ensure she’s being fed some gentle nutrients, CalMag to begin with followed by some BioBizz Grow for the extra nitrogen needed at this delicate time 👌 See you all next week, I hope with more leaves to show 🌱✌️ Peace and love, stay safe

Week 3 – Compact but staying small She's definitely healthy, but growth is staying tight and low to the ground. Very compact structure so far, not stretching much yet. Could just be her genetics, or she's focusing on building roots before taking off above ground. No signs of stress though – nice green color, strong leaves, and new growth coming in steadily. Hoping she picks up the pace soon, but sometimes the small ones surprise you later!

Saturday 23.05 Day 65 Beginning of week 10 video.👍🌱 Monday 25.05 Day 67 Smell is improving still. Cheese cookies still going to be the last to finish but it's really packing on some weight, I sense true indica genes so hopefully now too the cheese side. Sweet cheese is lots of little bud clusters but smells the best and by far the most trichs. Six shooter is packing on weight too, these buds are gonna be special... No smell really though and not much trichs yet. Big devil smells divine, almost like lemon candy. And it probably going to be the first to finish up. 26.05 Day 68 So for one week now according to schedule they get 5ml per litre of mighty bloom. 29.05 Day 71 Last day off week 10. Took a few photos. Shuffled the plants around again, I think they're in the perfect position now to finish off flowering. The boost of mighty bloom has really sent all plants into bud overdrive which is great!

Summer isn’t officially here and the heat is still kicking my ass, the girls are loving it though. 3rd topping completed in the 4x4, the FX3 3x3 both phenos are doing phenomenal! Taking clones next week to secure the bank, looking forward!

✌️💚

So this is a combination of weeks 11-12 as they all went into 48 hours of darkness and cut down on different days. My got cut down on different days. Will post dry harvest pics next ;p

Such an amazing flower, really great especially a phenomenal hash producer yall will be super satisfied with this one!! She’s a shorty but Make sure you top 4 to 6 times or even more to have all them gooey bud producing heads , Dirtyblonde is absolutely an amazing plant!!

In the final week of flowering, I reduced the light cycle to 11 hours and dimmed the lamp to 80% to keep temperatures lower. The light hits the plant with approximately 900 PPFD. The plants are being dried on the stem at around 21°C (70°F) and 60% relative humidity.

02/14/2026 So I noticed the growth slowed down a bit. I'm guessing it was the low ppm level. Not enough food. So I pumped the water out into another bucket and added more nutrients until it hit 450. I don't want to go any higher yet. Once flower hits, I'm switching to half dose. The thing is, she seems super healthy, if not a bit saggy on the bottom. Maybe that's a sign that she's hungry. Either way, I refilled the bucket with the new dose and we will see how she does. She may be a bit finicky, but I think I got it down. 600 ppm after the flowering stretch. So far she looks great! Good color, no weird issues. Very happy with this plant. The environment is fine today. No issues with the equipment anymore for days. I'll have to keep an eye on her with the new mix to make sure she isn't going toxic. I don't think she will, but you never know. Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 960 cm TDS: 450 ppm Temp: 67° 02/15/2026 Not much to report today. I'm not seeing much in vigor anymore. If it was only a few days, I'm gonna be really pissed off. There's no reason this plant shouldn't be taking off now. I don't get it. Anyway, the plant itself still looks super healthy. Nice big green leaves. Roots look good too if not a little brown here and there. I checked it's not rot. No clue what it is, but it's very watery. Not slimy and doesn't smell. I think it's just stains. The environment is fine as well. Ranging from 72° to 77° and generally hanging out around 75° just like I have set. The humidity is doing roughly the same thing. Between 52% and 60% while it tends to rest mostly at 55%. Right where I want it. So I'm thinking I'll need to top off every other day at the rate she's drinking. It'll probably end up being everyday when she gets into flower. Update: I raised the light up to 22" and increased the light power up to 60% the DLI is 40 mol. 02/16/2026 Readings: pH: 5.75 EC: 726 TDS: 362 Temp: 67.7 She's looking really good today. No issues but the TDS is still really low. Not super low anymore, but like 362 ppm. I'm changing the water out in a few days. I'll be doing the bloom schedule from then on. She got big. Not tall yet. She's still growing. No buds in sight. Just a happy plant. She's a sativa dominant strain, so she should take a little longer. But I thought that was with Flowering. Oh well. I'm not complaining. If she needs an extra week or so to finish growing, by all means, please grow. The Blue Dream on the other hand has buds at the top already. She doesn't seem to be stretching, but it think it's because she's getting really bushy. Just like this lady here. The environment is looking really good now. Nothing to report. The roots are everywhere now. Mostly white with some brown here and there. Not sure exactly what it is, but it doesn't smell and it's not slimy. Must be stains. It also doesn't rub off like algae would. But they are huge. Nice root ball. I can't even pull the plant all the way out of the bucket anymore. With the size of the plant and the roots being very difficult to move gently, I'm stuck pumping out the water. And pumping it back in. Not that it's hard, but I don't have 2 buckets or I'd be able to pump in a new mix and not have to leave her without water for like 20 minutes while I add like 10 different nutrients. Maybe I'll buy a second bucket. Anyway, that's all for today. 02/17/2026 Not much to report today. She is bigger than yesterday. Slight upward growth, but more outward growth. Bigger leaves and the branches are stretching horizontally. I also counted the nodes. She has 10 nodes before the stacking began. That's like 20 tops. If I can't keep this lady happy for the next 2 months, we shall see a bountiful harvest indeed. She'll be getting a full defoliation right after the stretch. I just did it with the Blue Dream. She'll be done well before the Apple Strudel. Maybe even 2 weeks. But that just means the apple strudel will be a better harvest. Especially because it's still stretching and isn't covered in pistils yet. I hope this isn't another hermie and thats why veg is taking longer. I MUST LOOK! 02/18/2026 I wish I had a 3rd hand, cuz then I could show the MASSIVE root ball. It takes up most of the bucket now. And it's not done. At least based on what I'm seeing as she's still not done stretching. Still no buds too, so she's definitely still stretching. I wonder why she's not slowing down. I've checked multiple times for male parts and I haven't seen anything. Maybe she's just has a longer veg stage. But she has pistils all over the top. Not much on the bottom. So why she's half transitioned to flower. Lol. The environment is looking awesome now. The heater and humidifier are doing minimal work to keep it up to snuff. Very happy with this. Now to keep her happy. I have to check the light distance again I think. Then move it accordingly. She did get a half gallon top off today. It was left over from yesterday. Her readings looking decent. Readings: pH: 6.0 EC: 750 TDS: 375 Temp: 66.3 02/19/2026 So today we did some defoliation. She's starting to show buds, but just. So I defoliated her. She looks good. Nice and open canopy. Lots of air flow. A little droopy now, but that's to be expected. Well, kinda. She's a tiny bit droopy. We'll see how she does this afternoon when the praying starts. The environment is looking really good. Goot temp and humidity. 76° and 55%. I plan on dropping the humidity to 50% next week. I checked the DLI today. It's 41 mol. I'll leave it there for now. There shouldn't be a problem with that, especially because I have CO2 in the tent. So it should be fine with 41. If it goes any higher, I'll have to realize the light a bit more, and or drop the light power. She's still growing. So that's good. The water is perfect. pH is 5.8, EC 797, TDS is 442. Temp was 76.6° very happy with those numbers. Next week I'll increase the TDS to 500 I think. She should be strong enough to handle a good amount of bloom nutrients. Hopefully she's not as sensitive to the bloom stuff as she was to the grow stuff. She seems to be happy with the current mix, and when she really needs the bloom nutrients, she should be really hungry. 02/20/2026 Last day of week 6. 6 weeks in veg is quite the long time and not much to show for it. Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful plant, but she should be much bigger for 6 weeks in veg. Oh well. She'll make up for it with buds. Lots and lots of buds. The water is really low. Like maybe over a gallon low, but I'm replacing it tomorrow with bloom nutrients. So I don't want to top off and waste nutrients. Oh, so I tried to lift the roots out of the bucket just to see if I could move the plant. Nope. The roots are heavy. The ball is massive. As I said before, it takes up the whole bucket. So it is confirmed, I cannot remove the plant from the bucket. I thought it would have been from the canopy being held down by the trellis net. Well, this is a benefit. Now I know I can use the trellis net and not have to worry about what if. Lol. The environment is good to go. Nothing else to say. As for the plant itself, she looks great! Nice and open. Plenty of light to get to the bottom buds and plenty of air flow.

End of 10th week. The harvest is just around the corner

Entering the home stretch, it's all about Swells and Smells. She looks better than the mother plant, lovely stench. And as for the branches in cubes I see seed development and hopefully as I go into harvest I can have pictures of almost ripe seeds.

We are now in middle of week 11 and 1 plant will be ready for harvest in around 7-10 days.

Ein weiterer Grow kommt zum Enden. Insgesamt wurden von Anfangs 5 Planzen, 4 zur Ernte gebracht, die andere hat gezwittert und ich habe Sie aus dem Zelt entfernt. Das Ergebniss nach 14 Tage trocknen bei 60-65% RH & 17-20 C. Pheno 1 : 61,40 g Pheno 2 : 33,85 g Pheno 3 : 29,22 g Pheno 4 : 56,42 g Summe : 180,89 g getrimmtes Trockengewicht Seit auf den nächsten Grow gespannt meine Freunde! Smoke Review folgt, wenn die Blüten ordentlich gecured sind.

.

Hey now! So after 8 days of drying, and 6 days of curing, I just tried the Sour Diesel in a glass water pipe, and she is freaking amazing. She burns nice and slow, with thick clouds of smoke, and tastes exactly like she should, like a sour/citrus/fuel with a very nice aftertaste. I ended up with less than 20% of wet weight, but I am so ecstatic with the quality, I could freaking care less! I have a fantasy football draft on Saturday night, and I can't wait for the rest of my league to sample her! I had so much fun with this grow, from constructing the watering/draining system, to learning more about photography and video, to meeting everyone in this community, and finally to smoking Nugs that I actually grew! Until next time, be safe everyone, and Blaze On!!!

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Exploding! Girls are amazing, super healthy, and growing very well. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ Very dense, super leafy, great genetics.

More defoliation and lst adjustments this week. Slows down growth, but doesn't seem to be causing any other problems.

They still youngings so I only give straight water P.H at 6.5, 18-6. Germinate on the 29th of Dec straight into coco loco sprouted on the 2nd of Jan. NEWYEARS BABY!!

Wachsen, seit gestern wieder CO2 am Start für letzte VEG Woche und dann ersten 3 Flower Wochen
