Welcome to my MilkyWay F1 Auto Diary, Untopped VS topped. Results are in. Days 71-82 ripening 0-13 week 11&12 Went well. She did bulk up a tad. But not much. They spent most their lives under a 100w. But, the bud is really dense all over. No larf, at all. Its a really good quality of bud I'm getting from both phenos. As far as ToppedVsUntopped well, that result is in. With a seeds used from the same pack (same parent) making true F1s as they need to be from the same batch. It why we all got different phenos, and those who ran more than 1, from their seeds, the phenos are very close. One of mine had more of a fade and looks more purple. Both smell very lovely & fruity. Nice trichome production with very dense but, rather small buds if I do say so. But the grade itself is very high. (As grade is not rated on size) overall both turned out very similar. Even fade wise, they've both developed a lovely colour finishing under high co2 environment with the SE5000 really has brought out a lot of fade i normally do not get. look at the start. It was only a few days under this light and the past 14 days they've both popped. I will also say. A lot of their life was spent under a 12-12 (3/5s of flowering). Topped VS Untopped pheno 2 & 1 Are very similar as I've stated this area will be filt in with harvest comments. Bud smell. How the dry went. And after a weeks cure. I'll rate it. So watch this space. These 2 phenos have been on just water for 10 days. I did a quick run off test. Got back 145ppm my tap is 110. So, they're good to go. Trichome wise. 95% cloudy 30-35% amber. (Hard to see, I'll try get pics with my scope) but, as you see. Both are fully ripened. Anymore and its just bud deg. Both plants leaves are showing end of life. Some are dying. (I'VE BEEN WATCHING THESE LEAVES AND SEEN THEY'VE BEEN DEAINED, ITS NOT BR) Lights The SE5000 was used for the Ripening phase. With high temps and co2 i pushed my boundaries and got a lovely fade reaction from doing so. How I know its down to this light as I've put my Runtz under it. And as soon as I did. It developed fade. My Frosted G even started getting light purple on its sides. The temp in tent has been pushed to 31-33c (that's not leaf temp as I've fans blowing on my plants, and that lowers surface temps by a few degrees.) They've been on 17hrs of high powered light. At 25-30cm id no choice. My temps are mad high this time of year. Harvested Both plants are been pult they're getting their last few hrs. You'll then see the last few pics in a few hrs. I'll get bud shots later, smoke reviews and then to be fair. I'll then mark it by the GD rating system. As I do with all my strains. (So I've 2-3 wk delay in my diaries as they're Harvested, mostly) both plants I'll try push them as far as I can through the drying process whole. But, as I'm dealing with high temps. Lower RH and a fastercl dry is pref to a longer dry in hot conditions might not make sense, but 30+ hot weather harvests, I've got this down. Mind you only this round all my other hot harvests some took a few weeks to rid the hay smell. This avoids it and locks in potency. Most of the drying is done by leaving the plant in the substrate just before the plant goes for itself for fluids. 4-5 day dry as opposed to 5-6 day dry with weed that loses half its stenght. (dry harvesting look it up) Thanks to James from RQS, although I know everyone and their sister got the offer for these seeds I am defo going to be trying more from RQS, if it's buying. I'll get round to it, and depending on the quality of smoke it might be soon. If its a real nice auto, I'd love to try a fem of theirs for my winter crop in October. But, that'll depend. I've lots I want to buy & try.. and when favs are found. I'll invest. I would like to thank everybody for the activity this diary has gotten. Its possibly one of my most active diaries I've done without a harvest. And that's in no short means down to all the views and likes from you guys. And for sure I will fully complete it, with results on the smoke Quality from both phenos, if it varies, but, results thus far, structure wise they're shockingly similar. Scary so. Topping has very little affect to the structure. She grew a main cola. But both phenos, turned puples I will say the topped one was a more troublesome plant. Maybe that had a role onin its morphology. And maybe it'll affect the bud also. The topped was more demanding nutrient wise, and drank more. Maybe to support a more even bud load. (I've yet to do a through inspection, but on the VS front, it's kinda in the air about quality, structure wise, it had very little difference. Look for yourself at the heights are 3-4cm dif) lots still to come. And I'll update it soon with more results. Again, thanks so much for the support, likes, comments and how active it is, an unfinished diary moving to my home page. 1st for me. So thank you. Also to my light sponsors who played a part in this grow. Although both phenos owe their bud quality to 2 x 100 watts SF-1000 (SE5000 was used for ripening lovely fade) and I used a P1000, they shared even light distribution in the end for the most part. So, thanks to Bella for the upgrade. I'm sure when I run an RQS strain again, this time I'll know only have the fade to show, but the bud size too. Thanks again my Friends. Updates pending as of 6th June. Edit June 7th Both plants are hung whole and drying 24hrs. I don't like how fast they're moving. The buds are already soft. Should still be hard at this stage only 30hrs in. They'll harden up in the cure no doubt. Let's just hope they don't shrink too much. Will give daily updates

More or less the same I feed plain water and they in a soil mix I put together from organic matter this type of growing is really easy, more boring at times no issues at all through out the whole grow

Neue Woche neue probleme :slight_smile: entweder haben sie aufgrund der Temperatur gepurpelt, oder aufgrund PH Probleme allerdings glaube ich eher dran dass die Temperatur in der nacht dran schuld gewesen ist ! ansonten entwickeln sie sich sehr gut heute wurde gelollypoppt und im laufe des grows werde ich noch weiter entlauben werdet ihr aber dann im report lesen 😉 recht durstig sind sie aufjedenfall nächste woche kommt dann auch wieder der Hesi Boost hinzu. pro gieß tag werden 15 Liter wasser auf 4 pflanzen geteilt bei 20 Liter töpfen

Этот цикл принёс мне опыт выращивания автоцвета в ограниченном пространстве, с использованием бокового и верхнего досветов(здесь для меня еще остаётся неограниченное поле экспериментов😎) Если подвести итог, то можно сказать, что данная техника выращивания частично себя оправдала, и конечно, в будущем я постараюсь учесть все допущенные ошибки. Надеюсь мой репорт получился интересным. Хочу поблагодарить Barney's Farm за интересный сорт, команду GD за организацию этого всего👌, и отдельное спасибо всем, кто посещал и комментировал мой дневник - вместе мы совершенствуем наше мастерство! 💚💛❤️ p.s. В ближайшее время к автоцветам возвращаться не планирую. p.p.s. Есть интересные идеи для следующего цикла, оставайтесь на связи и берегите себя!🙏

Last week of nuts is on the book... Plant is building up and a pretty intense smell is starts to spread all over the tent. As said this past was the last nuts week, I pretty much increased all the nuts for the last 3 watering and starting next week shes gonna receive only plain pHed water. I was expecting a bigger plant overall, but she's beautiful anyway and I truly love her colours. My estimation in yield is around the 30/40 grams dry, let's see if my guess is going to be right. That's all for this week lads... Have a great day out there and stay tuned, stay high!

First Flowers & Full Power 🌸⚡️ Here we go—flowering has officially begun! Week 7 marks the start of bloom for this mystery lady, and she's looking absolutely stunning. The training phase is now complete, and from here on out, she’s free to stretch upwards and show off. 💪🌿 I'm loving those slightly reddish tips on the new growth—adds a beautiful touch of color to her already elegant structure. No signs of stress, just a healthy, happy plant soaking in that summer energy. ☀️💨 She’s been treated well this week: Silica every 3 days before night Fed with CalMag, BioBizz Grow, Bloom, TopMax & Alg·A·Mic Effective Microorganisms added 4 days ago Followed up with a nice dose of compost tea 2 days later She's thriving under a great mix of sun and fresh air, and it’s honestly a joy to see how well she’s developed. Everything’s balanced, and the transition into bloom feels smooth and strong. The mystery’s starting to reveal herself—and it’s looking floral, vibrant, and full of potential. Stay tuned, the real show is just getting started! 🌞✨🌺

Legendary OG Punch Originally my plan was to grow just four that's why in the photos there's only four seeds. I added the fifth after another strain didn't germinate all of the seeds. Germination went great, all of the seeds germinated and quite fast. Strain Characteristics from breeder: The purple gloves are off, the legend has entered the ring, and she is ready to deliver a 1-2 punch combo on mind and body. With three incredible strains in her corner, Legendary Punch is a knockout sensation for hybrid lovers. Flooring cannabis connoisseurs, she will leave you in a couch-locked state of bliss. Pre-roll your joints, turn off your phone, and prepare for a TKO. Legendary Punch: She Only Needs One Hit To Knock You Down More than just an appealing description, the boxing analogy is an elaborate code to highlight her thoroughbred parents. First up in her dank corner, Legend OG. Providing a massive sedative effect, she is a prime candidate for Kush lovers. Creating further support for Legendary Punch, Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG combine to become Purple Punch. Their partnership brings improved yields and additional potency to the table. With two premium coaches, Legendary Punch is a mighty hybrid ready to take down any challengers. DELIVERING A SOOTHING BLOW TO THE BODY Legendary Punch lives up to heavy indica tradition, despite being a hybrid. Her high is intensely focussed on soothing the aches and pains of physical labour. Used recreationally, users can expect to be firmly locked into place for several hours. Her sheer strength and determination lead many cannabis lovers to indulge just before bed. The powerful sedation ensures a restful night. Flavours also support a late-evening smoke by delivering a blend of grapes, berries, and lavender. While mostly body-centric, you can also expect mild waves of euphoria—less dominant than the blow to the body, but still enough to wash away those small nagging worries. BOLD FLOWERS MEET AROMATIC BUDS An elegant central cola shows off her swagger and confidence. Hues of green, orange, and purple are worn like a pre-match gown. Her aroma is just as brash to begin with, hitting growers as soon as they come close. Fruity notes with hints of pine and citrus easily overwhelm the nostrils. Give her plenty of space to grow indoors, and she will reward you with 350–400g/m². That is as long as your neighbours don’t mind the pungent aroma that develops. Outdoor growers can expect to harvest at the beginning of October. Indoors flowering takes only 60–65 days, a small price to pay for her knockout attributes. Genetic Background: Legend Og x Purple Punch Type: Feminized Sativa 40% Indica 60% THC: 19% CBD: Medium Yield Indoor : 350 - 400 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 500 - 550 gr/plant Height Indoor: 90 - 160 cm Height Outdoor: 180 - 220 cm Flowering time: 9 - 10 weeks Harvest Month: Early October Effect: Cerebral and relaxing My expectations and training method: Seeing that she grows like a sativa my plan is to top and LST adjusting the colas. I might leave one without topping and just do LST for the fun of experimenting. I expect everything the breeder has described if she turns out as like so we’ll be seeing lots of colors, some nice fading in the end and just an all out beautiful view and very pleasant aromas. Only thing bugging me is the yield, isn’t my highest expectation with this strain. My guess is they won’t get past 45 grams per plant but obviously I’m shooting for more with the techniques being used. If she yields low but those buds come out punching hard then I’ll be happy with the results. Equipment used in this cycle Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm Lights: 1 x EasyGrow S800V2 1 x Mars Hydro TSW 2000 1 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Ventilation: Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm Humidifier: Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots Medium: Biobizz Light Mix Nutrients: Grotek - Mycrorizo Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar.

ladies have started to take off much more this week. I added heavy 16 finish to schedule of nutes. may be adding fire and roots also over next weeks. no huge issues this week, felt pretty dialed in for most part. using grow room glasses ive found i can get decent video of the girls under lights vs having to take them oit find ok lighting and taking a pic. noticed smell coming off the plants this week, its weak right now, but definitely starting to stink! going to top at the 3rd node once they reach 8 inches tall. after day 28, I transferred into 3 gallon fabric pots, which will be their final homes til harvest! (bottom leafs on plant #1 got some spotting, one side was windburn from earlier in grow, the other side I got a few drops of nutrient mixed water on them, and even after wiping away it left spots on leaves, its all good they are going to be removed after topping)

4/5 of the seeds germinated. FastBuds replaced my 5th one for free. I had only planned to grow 4 plants. First, I used Rockwool as to not disturb the root system using a heating pad to pop the seeds and a germination container. I only soaked them for the initial 30 seconds and did not rewet them as they were very moist.
