7/1/25 Very classic Gelato Shaped nugs. Very very strong gassy nose to her. Large chunky buds. Have no complaints besides struggling with mass leaf death on this plant for some reason and can't seem to figure out why or what to do to fix it. maybe its a genetic sensitive to the heat or the humidity

I switched the light from MH to HPS because the plants did not grow at all. They have stems like trees, but they are low. They started to grow after switching to HPS. Anyway, I'm dissatisfied with height. I hope it will benefit from a large flower pot and grow like water.

Hi dear smokers and growers!! 😎 Chilling Racoons here 😏 We will show you one of the new genetics of Royal Queen Seeds, the Milky Way F1 Automatic! 🤩 F1 seeds have unparalleled uniformity, impressive resistance to disease, great productivity and flavours and effects that will inspire you to grow these seeds again and again. So we are sure to grow big and stable plants, we have only to cure them well!! We are excited to try the Royal Queen Fertilizers like the tablets and the easy boost! They will give a big kick to our plants 🤩 🤩 🤩 We posted some of the RQS Ferts and Merchandising, look at the stuff, I am happy like a child 🤤 Royal Queen Seeds is one of the biggest seed bank in the world, in addition to a wide variety of high quality seeds, on their site you will find many accessories for growers and smokers. Take a look to our friends! https://www.royalqueenseeds.com ✅ 🌱#1 WEEK VEGETATIVE🌱 💉🔍Fertilization schedule:🔍💉 📅 EASY BOOST MIXED TO THE SOIL 50g/pot Both seeds germinated in 48H, after the root came out, we immediately planted the seed in the soil. We are growing MILKY WAY AUTO #1 in a 11L Plastic Pot and the MILKY WAY AUTO #2 in 15L Smart Pot. Seeds are directly planted in the final pot to avoid transplant stress. We planted these seeds in different pots to see if there are difference in growing and yield. Germination rate: 100%, Royal Queen, what a pleasure to grow their seeds. 🧐 🤓 Milky Way F1 data sheet 🧐 🤓 Variety: F1 Hybrid auto Genetic Background: Blue Mammoth x Blue Dream x Sin Tra Bajo Auto THC: Very high Yield: XXL Height: 55 - 75 cm Flowering time: 42 - 45 days Harvest: 70 - 75 days after germination Major terpenes: Farnesene, Myrcene, Pinene Effect: Creative, Euphoric, Physically Relaxing Flavor: Chocolate, Citrus, Pungent, Skunk Climate: Short Summers 💸💸💸💸💸 Buy Milky Way F1: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/f1-hybrid-cannabis-seeds/617-milky-way-f1.html _____________________________________________________________________ OUR GERMINATION METHOD STEP BY STEP We germinate all seeds in cotton pads because in my opinion is the best way, I'll tell you why. You should use cotton pads because it is one of the fastest way to germinate seeds, it is also one of the more reliable way because with these few steps, you could have a 99% of success if seeds are fresh (we store our seeds in a dark and sealed container in the fridge and they last years!). This is a NOOB-FRIENDLY technique BUT you have to respect some little and easy steps: 1️⃣take one cotton pad, spray it 5 times with water; 2️⃣dispose seeds in the sprayed cotton pad, remember to leave minimum 1cm of space between seeds, 3️⃣take a new cotton pad, spray it 3 times with water, face the wet side down and put it on the seeds of the first cotton pad; 4️⃣spray the dry side 3 times. 5️⃣put your "sandwich/es" in a sealed dark container of a sufficient size to store them, I use a plastic container (glass or plastic are equal) with about this size: 15x30cm .It contains about 8 "sandwitches". 6️⃣store the container in a dark place with a temperature from 17°C (23/24 °C are optimal)and more. REMEMBER: More light they see and colder is the place,slower will be the germination and lower will be the germination ratio. *(If your seeds are old, not good stored and with a low germination ratio, I suggest you to use Seed Booster. Old seeds and maybe stored in a very hot place for a long time may will be death and may will not never germinate). Generally a normal cotton pad is good for 3 seeds. If you follow these steps, you will hardly have problem of non-germinating seeds. I tried all methods (except rockwool cube) and in the last two years (and I germinated a lot of seeds) I can tell this is the fastest and reliable way. I loved to use paper towel but with this method is very easy to put too much water... I really hope that this "rule" will help all growers to improve their skills.

All is developing nicely, introduced cannazym and boost to the mix. Finally I have access to a better camera which you will see on the later pics. The cuttings I took seem to survive for now, with some outrooting their cubes already.

Week 9 started yesterday, Aug. 1. Gave them their final trim last night. Definitely 2-3 more weeks of veg. I'm still so pumped to have gotten this far and other than my clones, they are looking so good and healthy. I definitely have a good feeling. Happy Monday everyone and as always, happy growing ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: Aug. 3rd...going great! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: Aug. 5th and still going great! They are getting super bushy. I'll have to trim some lower leaves on Banner but that's it. Banner is a little shorter than Sky but that's ok lightwise! I could only imagine how big they would be by now if I either went natural or just topped, lol. I'm thinking about 5'. Would have been great outdoors if I could trust people to stay in their own yards at night! Anyways, I'm super pumped for the flip, which is very soon 😎 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Aug 30: it’s still hot (too hot at peak for photosynthesis) so lots of water, watering outside of growbag, etc to cool things off a bit. Sep 1: almost ready. Found a dried leaf and a spot of bud rot which was immediately removed. Main tops are almost ready and I’ll start harvesting this one later this week. Sep 2: buds are looking pretty ready (at least the tops) and the pistils changed colour last night. Heatwave is now past and now we’re into a couple days of smoke from fires in the NWT. Sucks, but at least this is the first serious smoke here this year. Sep 4: decided to do a chemical flush this year. Great buds last year but didn’t burn well because of excess P in late flowering. Considered another flush product but looking at the MSDS sheets that stuff had ‘editic acid’ which is an obscure but acceptable name for EDTA. That is a very strong chelating agent which will remove salts effectively but I’d rather avoid it. In contrast, Final Flush from Grotek has potassium sorbate (generally recognized as safe food additive) and good old citric acid which is a chelating agent but not as strong as EDTA. Similar products but citric acid is more gentle and the plant still gets some potassium. Sep 5: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you follow up with a far red light.

We are almost there! Second ripening week and after this i will get with AN final flash. I'm giving half the power to the lights for an hour in the morning and one in the evening, a kind of sunrise and sunset, removed the heater from the tank so as to simulate the arrival of the autumn cold, the tops have a purple color. everything seems to flow thanks for your visit here buddies wish you the best 💚🌱🤜🏼🤛🏼 Finally i've taked some smartphone camera pics only smartphone flashlight and grow lights off. I feel it will be around 300g harvested, what do you think about it? 🤔🤓
