For the Grow section on my page: Throughout the germination stage, I explored three distinct seed germination techniques: the direct soil implantation, immersion in a hydroponic medium, and the classic paper towel method. My tests involved the Gods Gift autoflower from Premium Cultivators, Northern Lights from Royal Queen Seed Bank, and the F1 Epsilon strain, also from Royal. My primary focus, however, has been on the F1 Epsilon strain. As part of my shift towards commercial operations, I'm currently pushing the potential of these seeds to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. I'm in the midst of identifying the optimal strains for my commercial venture. My objective, quite simply, is to strike an optimal balance between quality and yield for my future cannabis crops. With astute business planning and leveraging emerging laws, I plan to provide these products at a significantly lower price than my competitors. End of Germination Stage - Staring Vegetation Stage Day 9 - I inadvertently oversaturated my plants with nutrients, which led to the immediate demise of two plants. A key lesson learned was that utilizing old woolite medium is not advisable. Instead, using dirt plugs proves to be a more effective method. Moreover, it's crucial to ensure that nutrients are introduced directly into the water supply to avoid any potential harm to the plants. Additional Note: For enhanced root stability and quicker access to the water supply, it's important to situate the dirt plugs deeply within the pebbles. Also ensure germination process as follows: 12 hour soak, drop into soil plug deep into hydroponics pebble medium.

Every has gone absolutely smooth so far with growing this girl. Full 8 weeks old today & 21 days into flower. She has a fairly strong sweet smell & her buds continue to bulk up. As I just harvested 1 plant , it's created a bit of space for me to put her into the Flowering tent for 12 hrs each day & move her back to veg for the remaining 8 hrs, as I'm running 780watts in the flower tent, hopefully this will bulk them up more. Simple L.S.T. grow grew her out a few nodes & bent her over & tied her down, doing a similar thing with the side branches. Then I've just let her go & do her own thing & haven't done anything other than feed her, haven't really had to do any defoliation as there's not that many leaves on her naturally.

This past week I pushed the nutrient EC value to 2.8 these plants need it! Tomorrow is the first 12/12 light cycle, will be adding Si to help with internodal spacing. Chitosal definitely sparked growth, one more foliar application before I add it to the reservoir. Am excited to see flower formation this scrog is large. Timing will be improved next time by popping more seeds to guarantee germination.

We topped the plants once and we do lst ever since. We also defoliate them 3 times during the veg phase, which took 8 full weeks. We stick with the recommended dosages of Canna nutrients for coco and we spray the ladies once a week with Plagron's Vita Race along with Sugar Royal.

This past week was a busy one. Put a lot of work into the grow space and prepping them to switch. Moved over to the 5x5 tent and set up the netting. Went through a lot of defoliating spread out through the week to make sure it went as stress free for the plants as possible and then lollipopped the plant before changing over to Flower (remember this is my first time growing so didn’t want to overdue it). Me and the girl spent some time and Cleaned out the tent completely and finally got around to cleaning up some of the wiring throughout. I flushed all the plants with RO water (only pH) and then 3 days later i mixed in and topped all pots with fresh soil mix (FFOH, worm castings, and perlite). Drained and cleaned all pots and the tank, added in new water with a mix of cal mag, big grow, and tiger bloom (half amounts of everything) with PPM just over 1000. Switched over to flower just before this post so fingers crossed and hoping the next few weeks go smooth 🤞🏽 **Side Note** - Got a steal on some tents/lighting so decided to get things setup for my next grow. Got a handful of seeds I’ve had my eyes on and getting ready to order some more equipment and even a Centurion Hybrid Trimmer. So be on the lookout for my future grows!

I've overwatered 😬 Moved outside on the balcony a few hours to take some direct sun with a fan pointing the pots trying to dry it as much as I can.

Both of the girls are really packing on the weight now. These are their last week or two. Haven't decided whether I'm going to harvest this week or next. But you'll see a harvest post soon, I'm sure :) It doesn't look like left is quite ready for harvest(white hairs popping up still), but I'm going to chop them both at the same time, regardless. I may do so a bit later on account of left being behind. If anything, I'll just harvest right, then do left a week or so later. Cheers everyone! Really like this strain, but it does have quite ugly leaves lmao. Update: The girls officially got the chop on the 20th. They've been drying ever since. Did a leaf strip and then hung em up. Stay tuned next week for a grow/smoke report :) Harvested at about 90% cloudy 10% amber trichs. The smell is incredible! I can smell it as soon as I open the door to the room they're drying in. This was a pretty fun grow, but I don't think I'll be running this strain again during the winter. Looking for more hardy strains to better handle our fluctuating climate.

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Everything seems to be going alright, one of my plants has extremely shiny leaves almost like oily, and some odd shaped leafs but I’m very curious to see how things go when I switch to flowering considering these are all random bag seeds! Have been trying to look for signs of sex but still can’t see anything yet!

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially. These are the 3 in the back they are growing perfectly so far

I was excited throughout this entire process.. The last plant I grew was out of control and didn't make it... My space is limited so I had to keep it short and learn how to train and top which definitely paid off. I'll update on the drying and curing process once I get to that point... When it's dry I'm gonna try again with a different strain and breeder.. I love fast buds so one of those seeds will probably be my next choice but would love to get your opinions... Thanks for checking me out. To be continued..... Happy Growing 👋😃 7/20 The babies are dry and sooooo sticky. All the big boys are still a bit wet and can't be Jarred until later in the week. I know it's early but I did smoke some already oof 🤭 A little hard but smells and tastes really sweet so I think the final product should be wonderful yayer 🤟😜 Keep you posted... 7/24 Definitely happy with the outcome!! She has some curing to do but my friends like it 😁 Now everybody wants to learn how to grow 😳 7/24 PM When I grind it it smells soooooo good.. Smellavision would really need to be coming in the near future.. I'm so sad I can't share it with you guys... Like I don't know what she's supposed to smell or taste like but I'm a very Happy with my berry flavored cheese 😁 8/18 I loved it!! My friends loved it!! My neighbors loved it!! All the cheese is gone y'all!! 🤣🤣 Will definitely be on the list of seeds to keep around along with my Fastbuds Mexican airlines... Extremely satisfied with this grow. Way better than expected! 😁👌 May the Seeds be ever in your favor🌱🌱🌱

Both RS11 plants are growing steadily and looking healthy. In contrast to the Pink Gelato, her leaves are noticeably thinner, showing a different growth characteristic. During the week, they’ll likely be transplanted into a slightly bigger pot and will get their full BioTabs treatment – nutrients, beneficial microorganisms, the whole organic setup. I’m excited to see her thrive. I’ll be away on vacation for a few weeks after this update, so some diary entries may appear a little later. My cousin will be looking after the plants and watering them, and he’ll also take a few photos to keep track of their progress. Everything should continue smoothly while I’m away. Both plants were successfully transplanted into 3.5 liter pots and received the full BioTabs treatment, including microorganisms and nutrients. The substrate is based on reused and reconditioned soil with roughly 50% perlite mixed in. The base soil is BioBizz Light Mix. Since watering is done exclusively with osmosis water, about 7 g of dolomite lime per liter of soil was added to provide proper calcium and magnesium buffering. This run marks the first time following the BioTabs “just add water” strategy. The substrate was prepared accordingly and amended with Startrex and Silicium Flash. Before placing the plants into their new pots, Mycotrex was sprinkled directly into the planting hole and one BioTab was added to each pot. After transplanting, the leaves were lightly sprayed with Boom Boom Spray. The substrate was then watered with osmosis water mixed with Bactrex. Everything went smoothly and the plants handled the transplant very well. From here on, it’s all about letting the biology do the work.
