Week 10 – Day 70 🌱 She’s now finishing the last swelling phase of the buds. From this point on I’m giving only plain water and letting the soil dry well between waterings. The buds are not the biggest I’ve ever grown and it probably won’t be my highest yield per plant, but what really surprised me is how uniform this plant is. The buds are very consistent in size and the whole structure is super compact. In my 1m grow box I think I could easily run 9 plants like this. The canopy would be very even and the space would be used much better. Now I’m just waiting for the final ripening and keeping an eye on the trichomes. Harvest is getting close. Terpene profile & trichomes ✨ The plant is not covered with a very thick layer of resin. In my opinion this might be one of the downsides of running a 24/0 light cycle. From my experience it seems to increase yield but slightly reduce the quality, quantity and size of the trichomes. Because of this I recently changed my light schedule to 23 hours. The central light now turns off a bit earlier while the side lights and the 660nm far-red stay on for a short time to simulate a sunset effect. I think this could be more beneficial for the other plants in the tent. With this plant I will also try to induce a bit of mechanical stress to see if it can stimulate more resin production. I’ll document the results in the next few days. The terpene profile is already very interesting. The aroma clearly reminds me of ginger, with sweet candy-like notes and a touch of lime. Very unique and quite surprising. Big thanks to the breeders at RQS for this little gem. And as always, happy growing to everyone! 🌱

8/30 - Day 65: All is great. Plant 1 will be harvested very soon, I'm thinking September 6th or 13th... all depends on the trichome development. I have come across a wicked calcium deficiency that I am solving with foiler spray and a little more supplemented in the nute mix, but I don't quite understand what's happening. I will post a question and update with information. I read it takes about a week to fix, so I'm not to worried about it ruining my harvest, it just sucks and I want to fix it. 8/3 - Day 69: Fuck... man... it's CRAZY how much they change overnight at this stage. We are flushing plant 1 (center plant in photos) Sunday, and we will harvest her September 13th, at the latest. I check her trichomes everyday and they are still not milky — so we wait! Colors are beautiful, bright orange and a wonderful violet purple. The sugar is just piling itself on. Smell is average, but if you bump them, or trim a leaf... it gets much, much more potent. The buds are sticky as literal superglue. I cannot wait to smoke. We have been fighting a small CalMag deficiency the past 8 days, but I think we are out of it. Typically takes 6-8 days to see any sort of relief from this, and I haven't seen it spread to a few of the older colas, so that's good! I'll get some more micro shots later this week. Harvest scheduled for September 13th. Flush starts tomorrow - 9/6. Fuck. Yes.

Hello my friends, ...June 7, 2022.. ..Day N°87... ...Flowering day N°31... My two Feminized Royal THCV are fine and beautiful, they are monster plants, the stretching seems stabilized and the flowers smells awesome sativa. #1...140cm #2.. 145cm I give them water with a tablet of Easy Micronutrients from RQS Organics Nutrients. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 2000 at 70% of power and at 20cm of the canopy. www.royalqueenseeds.com www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydro.eu Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

This week was cool I did do a compost tea like I planned to. Took them out of the greenhouse for a couple days and I’m guessing that’s how the pollen got stuck on them. P.S I be outside having whole photo shoots with them 😂

Here they are, finished! The plant in the smaller tent definitely packed on much more weight. The issue with the other plant was being in a 12/12 tent and having a taller plant in there which was hogging the light. Still got beautiful smelling flowers. These were all taken in the last week of flowering. Super happy with the new setup that I put in with the Mars Hydro light! Very nice plants but they did take their sweet time in the beginning.

Fastbuds is the best Autoflower seed company. I’d try any other brands if someone would let me test one. As of now, no reason to switch a great thing... bravo fastbuds 🇺🇸 USA USA

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

Notas/Registos: 25/06/2025 - Fiz rega "A" com Ph 6.5, e aplicação foliar "B". 28/06/2025 - Fiz uma rega com agua mineral, livre de cloro, Ph 6.2, cerca de 1L por vaso. Fiz o primeiro lollipopping para melhorar a circulação do ar na base. Vou esperar responderem para aplicar a rede Scrog na proxima semana.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

I've unshackled the plant by removing the ties I was using for LST. She continues to streach while producing new flowering sites. I've decreased the Nitrogen and increased the Phosphorus and Potassium ratios in the feed. Now watering 2 litres of water every 3/4 days.

the girls are struggling a little bit. One is yellowing because its about to flower, but one is just not growing much and the other is very lanky.

Week 9, 3-9 October 2025 3-9 Oct - Observed and let the plant grow. Buds continue to develop and swell as it grows toward maturity. The smell continues to intensify as well. A lot of trichomes have developed and the hairs are just starting to turn brown. Because of the plants smaller size, I don’t have to do a weekly reservoir change, it’s more like every 10 days. She just doesn’t consume as much as a larger plant would. - 2 Oct changed nutrient solution - 2 Oct updated feeding schedule - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 2.1 at 72 degrees F - Light power at 75%, DLI 45 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Planted in fox farm and perlight on 1/5/21 popped 1/8/21. Skywalker og didnt pop with multiple methods, water, soil, baby wipe warmer. The creme de la chem didnt germ in baby wipe warmer method but a 2nd seed did put directly in soil. 1/9 planted Alien Technology in solo Skywalker og was in and it germinated in two days. Just watered and kept in 70 to 80% humidity, 78 degrees, ROI-E680 at 60% around 20 inches away.

Hey now, this week went pretty good, she grew 6 inches to 22" tall, so I am going to veg her for one more week and then flip her to flower next week. She seems to be fairly healthy, but she is not growing super fast like I am used to, but I also have only grown autoflowers and mainly sativa dominant autos. I don't think this Planet of the Grapes will stretch too much being an indica dominant plant, but I have another 24 inches of usable space for her to grow if needed. I am getting super excited to see what this little lady can do in flower. My plan is to flip the lights next week, but continue with veg nutes for another week, then slowly start to transition her to flower nutes in the 2nd week of flowering, and be totally switched over and adding bloom boosters by week 3 of flower. I hope everyone had a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, be safe and blaze on!
