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

August 14, day 104 (37f), the Red Mandarine is getting chunkier bit by bit. The canopy is pretty dense, but I have plenty of airflow so it should be alright. It just needs to ripen a bit more in the coming weeks and gain a little density and it should be good to harvest. August 17, day 107 (day 40f), the buds are really putting on weight at the end! The smell is also increasing, along with the lovely red tones. Switched to dry koolbloom for the last week or so, then a short flush and harvest. The Mars Hydro SP-3000 is powering through the flowering stage. Its been managing heat really well, which is always a plus during the summer! 🌱👉 Check out marshydro_aliexpress on Instagram (https://instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress?utm_medium=copy_link)

Start of week 2 flower today, introducing big bud this week, gave them the full 4ml per litre recommend on the bottles and noted a small mute burn on a few of the leaves but nothing major. Switch to larger reservoir (25l -> 100l) and added bubbler stone as I'll be keeping the feed over 3/4 feeds, this should help keep the food solution oxygenated and fresher. Overall the plant is looking very healthy and seemed to transitioned to bloom food v. nicely.

she grows very nicely takes water and nutrition well. I have started to train it and it responds well to that.excuse the lighting a get home the lamp for the photo and dry cabinet so there will be good pictures outside the tent too

Kein Höhenwachstum mehr aber dafür immer kräftigere Blüten. Es ist eine Freude, den Hauttrieb zu betrachten. Langsam beginnt sie auch stärker zu duften, es ist aber noch gut akzeptabel. Sie hat saftig grüne, leicht glänzende Blätter und siehr sehr gesund aus. Der Bananenschalensud, bzw. die Jauche wirkt. --- No more height growth but ever more vigorous flowers. It's a pleasure to look at the main shoot. It is also slowly beginning to smell stronger, but it is still quite acceptable. It has lush green, slightly shiny leaves and looks very healthy. The banana peel decoction or liquid manure works.

04/13/25: The plants have now fully adjusted to their new environment, and all five are looking vibrant and happy. Leaf posture is strong, color is rich, and the canopy is filling in nicely. They’re handling the training and topping well, showing no signs of stress, and overall growth has remained consistent. While inspecting them before today’s round of training, I noticed what appear to be early signs of male pre-flowers on PP1 and PP4. It’s still too early to be certain, but it’s looking like I may already be down to three possible females. I’ll be keeping a close eye on them over the next week—things should become much more clear soon. Today I topped all five plants again—this time at the first node of each of the four main branches created from the last topping. This will help build out a broader, more evenly structured canopy. I also used plant ties to gently pull down each of the branches to open up light penetration across the plant. In addition to branch training, I used ties to lightly hold back some of the larger fan leaves on the lower two branches to help expose new growth sites. I’ll leave those fan leaves on for another 3 to 4 days as the new tops develop, then remove them to redirect energy upward and continue opening the structure. They were also watered today with a light nutrient mix, similar to last week’s. The plants still look very nutrient-rich, so there was no need to push the EC any higher just yet. Based on the current rate of uptake, I expect they’ll be ready for another watering in about 3 to 4 days. If anything noteworthy comes up—especially regarding sexing—I’ll update sooner. Otherwise, I’ll be back in a few days to document a light defoliation and any continued developments.

Just keeping and eye on the feeds started drinking it all up

Watering 2-3 days 2 liters per plant

The grow was smooth, employed some new techniques when growing and they performed well! Nice bush plants

Hey now, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend....Good week for the Cream Mandarine Auto, she is still eating like crazy, I did switch her to the the ripening nutes, and will be switching to straight H20 here in the the next week or so based on what her triches look like under my miscroscope...her buds are definitely getting tight and sticky, and I had to provide support for 4 colas so far that were sagging towards the floor as the buds swelled up...Mars Hydro also sent me a tent to test out, it is a 4x4 main compartment, and also two smaller sections which are 4x2 and 4x6, which I will use the smaller one for seedings, and the larger one for drying flower. I will absolutely be running another Cream Mandarine Auto, she has been great, and she absolutely reaks every time I open the tent. I had her out last night for about an hour while I set up the new tent and she literally made my whole house stink. Very happy withe these genetics so far, I think she will be ready in 7-12 days but we will see.... I hope everyone enjoys the rest of your weekend, be safe and blaze on!

Finally the final chapter of the Big cheese twins chronicles!! Those twins were not identical at all and they had diff. pots too I will show you the diff: 5lPot: 151.98G wet harvest 28.42G cuttings and buds for oil. She was not that big (50 cm) but her buds were fat as fu*k! did not have big colas with flower but all the buds were fat, shiny and full with trich.😎 i can even use some of the big leaves for oil..👌 i love the smell, only in early stage of flower they were a bit skanky but later on the smell became more flowery and herby 😋 had a lot of pests and bad weather and did not get a lot of daylight.. But still she couldnt get cheddar than this!😁 you fetta believe it! (😳yeah im feeling very cheesy 2day) 11L pot: 75,45G ~75,45G for oil she was a freak with very strange leaves, i almost wanted to teminate her..but i gave her a chance..😎👊 she grew tall and was foxtailing all the way (very sexy 😁) So the buds were not so big or fat but very white, filled with trichomes! so maybe i will make oil with all of this (i made a diary about that if you are interested) i will see how she dries 👍 Must also not forget they were in my fridge for almost 2 years, waiting... So thats why im just happy they even wanted to grow! 🙌 Thankyou all for following the adventures of the BIG CHIEF-twins they grew healthy thanks to all of you! 😇 Happy growing for all ✊

Blue Dream Auto 1 15th Feb Mon - Placed blue dream auto seed into jar of ph balanced water,and then kept in dark airing cupboard for 24hours. 16 Feb Tue - Set up grow tent today. Placed seed into soil and cut a quarter of a plastic bottle top and placed over planted seed to create moisture dome. If seedling hasn’t popped after 3 days turn light on to give more energy. Will leave now and check up on it in the next 24 hours 17th Feb. 17th Feb Wed - Checked on seedling today. No sprout as of yet,19:35, everything seems fine soil is moist and in the dome is moist. If there is any issues it would be the temp is lower than I’d like. 18th/19th Feb Thur - Fri - Still no sprout on Thursday 18th. Checked soil and it still a bit wet all around, I think I’ve planted the seed a little too deep. Noticed a few gnats. On day 19th Friday, there is still no sprout so to give it a bit of help I have turned the light on today. Noticed quite a few more gnats so I will try to put some white vinegar and fairy liquid in a bowl to place in tent. Will update over the weekend. 20th Feb Sat - Finally!!! The seed has finally sprouted, I won’t water this morning but I will check later tonight. Need to keep soil around plant moist but the outer bits of soil I’ll leave dry due to Gnats. Will leave moisture dome on for a day longer until I see leaves form. Very happy! Also repositioned light so it is directly above plant 21st Feb Sun - She is looking good! A lot of growth from yesterday to day gave some more water this morning as she was looking a bit dry. I’m looking to take the dome off tonight as she has started to come out. I’ve turned lamp off for 4 hours to give some rest. One leaf is curling over a little but I’m not too sure why? Will monitor and keep updated. Any advice appreciated!!

So, with the harvest complete and the dry finished, the rest is now going into jars for the final cure and storage. Overall I enjoyed this grow, it needed minimal interventions and had a smaller work load compared to the other grows. The amount of dried flowers is 752g (1.11gpw) so a decent haul, I threw a lot of B grade buds in the hash bag due to the large number of low level flowering sites (I need to rethink my canopy management) and also with the lack of stretch after flipping made the internodal spacing a bit too tight. Managed to extract 215g of grade a hash from her as well which I have pressed into a slab (pictures). I learned many things along the way, namely root health and the importance of keeping organic additions as low as possible. I also decided to try out clones for my next run, just to get a little more canopy and growth consistency - those of which are in an aeroponics tub at the moment waiting to root (picture). Thanks for those of you who followed along most of the way, good luck with all your grows!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 22/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.2 water with 0.75ml-Grow, 0.75ml-Max, 1.5ml-Bloom, 2.25ml-Heaven and 2.25ml-Acti vera from Biobizz, noticed almost no runoff this time. 27/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 water, noticed a lot of burned tips no nuts this time I guess? some runoff appeared.

04/10 la belle se lève et s'élève

All coming along nicely, still haven’t gotten around to defoliating.. must get some leaf off this week. Upped the nutrients. The buds are fattening up more and more each day which is nice to see! Smells really promising too. Photos taken day 40 of flower

Cut tonight or tomorrow

3 março - 9 marco 4 março - Alimentadas pela primeira vez 9 março feeding: Biogrow 1ml; bio heaven 2ml; acti-vera 2ml pH 6.3

This is strain is growing really fast. Probably overfed her, for the next few days i'll wash her with just water.
