60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎

Weight on the first two Charlottes Angels are 33g and 25g. Grown about ten of these seeds and can't seem to get a decent yield with them. Day 102 Malana Bomb harvested. Weight on her is 72grams. Happy with that. I was thinking around 2ozs. Really tight buds liked the extra wattage I was giving at around 200watts Day 105 Orange Bud harvested weight is 48grams. Was expecting more but still some nice buds Just feeding the last 2 plants overdrive, bud candy and drip Clean at 550EC

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements. ****UPDATE**** Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!

The plants are now putting all their energy into bud production, and it’s really starting to show!🌱 Both are developing bigger and bigger buds, and the smell is becoming more intense every day. #2 has an insanely large main bud, completely covered in trichomes. The aroma is very hazy, deep, and complex. it’s going to be interesting to see how it develops in the coming weeks. #1, on the other hand, continues to impress with its tropical, sweet, and pineapple-like scent, and its buds are also swelling up beautifully! Everything is going exactly as it should—excited to see how much more they’ll bulk up in the next weeks!💚

With this beautiful lady just days away from hanging I must say she is a sight to behold I dont think my cam is doing the job right but I'm working on that for future grow. The buds are rock hard with a purple and gold color on her buds, she is already cleaning up awesomely so flushing should take it a notch up stay tuned.

1/9/2023 - Day 7: did a very light foliar feed with some Pure Protein Dry organic fish fertilizer 15-1-1, fresh aloa, and ThermX-70. Mixed this up for some other plants but figured I'd give the girls a light misting. Other than that I have not done anything else, other than moving the plants back into my 2x4 to veg in here for now. My 4x4 is in my drying room, so temps are lower than I'd like at this stage, so this will be there new home for the next couple weeks. 1/13/2023 - Day 11 veg: All plants are coming along nicely. Cups still have some weight, so I still haven't watered, other than the real light foliar feed the other day. Temps have been about 80° during the day and 70° at night, with humidity holding steady around 85%, which is probably the main reason I haven't had to water. So far so good! 1/14/2023 Day 12: noticed a few fungas gnats flying around, so I sprayed everything down with some Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I'm assuming the gnats came from the Earth Box I recently added to the tent for a few more auto's i started. Sprayed the soil and the leaves, so this was the first watering since the seeds were planted.

I had to leave the garden unattended for 3 days and when I got back it was really a mess. The top had suprecroped on itself and it totally gave up on growing the main stem. Lots of side branching had to be tucked back in to the net before it became manageable again. Looks well and, besides the mess of branches, it looks like the supercrop didn't cripple her growth.

Went ahead and supercropped as they were getting a little tall. It seemed to have gone mostly well as they have recovered quickly and there are many more bud sites than before. It’s still early in flower but the Pineapple Express 1 is already full of crystals. The rest are behind but looking good. They all seem to love their nutrients. This week I will try topping off with a nutrient mix just to keep the TDS from dropping like it did last week. The LUX is around 70K on the top of the canopy! The growth seems to have slowed. There are many bud-sites but I wonder how much this will yield if there isn’t much more vertical growth. Overall feels to be going in the right direction. Learning how to maximize in this space can be challenging!

Skywalker Haze has officially entered the first week of flowering after 9 weeks of well-balanced vegetative growth, supported by continuous LST, selective pruning and meticulous management of the SCROG net. The plant presents a balanced structure between apical and lateral, tight nodes, and a compact but airy leaf development. 📊 Current environmental data: Light: Phlizon FD9600 1000W set to 100% Photoperiod: 12/12 (10:00–22:00 hours) Average VPD: 1.1 kPa Humidity: 58% Day/Night Temp: 27° / 22°C 💧 Weekly nutrient solution (50 L total): pH Perfect Grow/Micro/Bloom: 4 ml/L each Sensizym: 2 ml/L Bud Candy: 2 ml/L B-52: 2 ml/L Cal-Mag AN: 2 ml/L Rhino Skin: 2 ml/L Final EC: 1.4 mS/cm pH automatically stabilized around 6.3 thanks to the AN system Irrigation via MarsHydro dripkit (24W – 900 L/h) on electronic timer: 2 cycles/day of 4 minutes each, managed with continuous aeration of the tank. 🧠 Observations: The plant has started stretching with a constant but controlled rhythm. The upper leaves are vigorous, without signs of excess nitrogen. Internodes well spaced. The response to the change of photoperiod is excellent. 🔧 Objective: maintain harmonious vertical development, stimulate early formation of calyxes and continue with floral stimulators starting from day 10.

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

Zkittlez is growing very nicely think its about to start flowering. Lemon AK is slower but still looking nice considering its about 10 days older. Topped the zkittles and its responding well, got 2 tops where there was only 1. Tied it down as vertical space is very limited for me. Can't get too tall.

The stretch period is considered to be over. I did the last leaf cleaning. I won't touch it anymore. I did super croping because the branches got too long.
