Royal Cheese Auto: Week 1 Diary Update What's going on, growmies! It's time for the first official weekly update on the Royal Cheese Autoflowers. The Setup & Seedlings I have a total of 10 Royal Cheese Auto plants, and they are now happily back outdoors after a brief trip inside yesterday to protect them from inclement weather. They are all in their final outdoor pots, lined up against the wall, ready to soak up the sun. The seedlings are looking pretty good, and most of the "ladies" are doing well. I noticed several are starting to shoot their second set of true leaves, which is a great sign of healthy growth! A Little Frankenskien & The Cotyledon Confusion One particular plant I'm keeping an eye on is my "Frankenstein." She was a bit of a weird one, coming out with only one cotyledon, and I was worried it was a bad seed since I didn't see any true leaves right away. But she's a fighter! She's now working on her second set of true leaves and is actually looking good. I love to see them thrive, even when they start a bit odd. Feeding Schedule The plants have not received their first feeding yet. I plan on beginning their first nutrient feeding next week, so stay tuned for that in the next update. Security Alert: The Geico/Lizard Threat! While checking the plants, I spotted a little green lizard (I called him a "Geico") hanging out on the wall nearby. I need to be extra careful and keep a close watch on these little critter, because they seem to love eating the young seedlings! I can't let them eat my Royal Cheese! We have to protect the grow. Overall, a solid first week. The plants are transitioning well and showing good signs of early growth. Looking forward to the next update when we start their feeding regimen!

Day 63 Flowering: Hi all , well here we are, finally at the end of this amazing grow and only the trim and dry before the main event.....The results.. It has been a great grow from the start with these seeds , they have not missed a beat at all. The #4 has been innthe dark now for the past 6 days to try to really push the oils and survival instinct of the early finishing lady. She will be trimmed tonight as I don't want to push her too far and create a hermie now.. She is nice and sticky now and smells so sweet of fresh cut fruit. #1 has been ripening for the past week and even has a few new pistils showing up to add to the contrast of colours too her beautifully formed buds. They are so dense and solid to squeeze too. Her trichromes are beginning to show more amber among the cloudy and I don't want to leave her too long and ruin the intended high she naturally allows so it is time to take her out and into a dark period before trim to drying. As they are all grown organically , the need to flush ( bro-science anyway lol) and allow the harshness to go, is less worrisome. I have always dried intact in the past with no cuts to the plant until completely dried. This took care of the chlorophyll hit that often gets missed when drying wet trimmed and leaf gets trimmed into the bud. I also dry slowly to ensure the chlorophyll gets used up and not locked-in to the bud. Spending so long smelling this Mango aroma , it would be wrong to ruin in the harvesting now.. # 2 is my star of the grow so far on this auto perpetual run. She has been a monster from early days and performed perfectly . Her main stem is a total beast and I cannot wait to weigh that alone.. The colours and smell are so perfect too. I think this plant has shown just how capable the genetics are to create a huge plant with very little interference and a normal feeding regime that was simple too. astounding girl. She is a trichrome producing lady too and has some very nice frosting. The pics don't do them justice compared to standing in front of these beautiful plants . Well done Exotic seeds. I will update as the drying process goes and do a full harvest and report once we are there. be safe and well growmies. Grab yourselves some of these seeds from over at exotic and you won't be dissaointed no matter your growing experience...

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more room for light. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there was a major change. New growth everywhere, colas started stretching upwards fast. By far the tallest girls in the tent. Her colas are stacking up nice and tight if she keeps that up we'll have some nice dense colas. 😁 Great reaction to the defoliation and 12/12 switch. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and not sure if she’ll make it to week 12. Still doesn’t have the percent of amber that I’m looking for so she’s still going. Gonna flush her tough tomorrow with some sledgehammer and pH’d water. Day 72 - Still not ready for chop but she’s plumping up quite a bit. Gave her 1.5 gallons of water with foxfarm’s sledgehammer and hopefully can get all the nute pushed out so she can finish strong. Day 73 - Getting closer but she’s still not there yet so hopefully this next week she’ll start bulking up more and trichs amber before chopping. She’ll keep going until the trichs are how I want them. Day 74 - She’s still chugging along and not quite ready yet. Each day she fills up with more trichs and not at the milky too amber ratio I’m looking for. Hopefully by the end of the week. Day 75 - Thinking she’ll be ready for chop this weekend. Nothing else really going on, just waiting to chop. Not sure if I should continue giving her water or just let her dry up until she’s done. Day 76 - Still just waiting on this girl to finish. Whenever I think she’s close, she throws a million more clear trichs at me so really no clue now when she’ll be finished. Might do one more push of foxfarm sledgehammer tomorrow and then just let her be till she’s done. Try and get as much nutes out of her and I can. Day 77 - End of week 11 and flushed her with a gallon of water and 15ML of Foxfarm Sledgehammer, PPM is down to about 223 so hopefully she’ll go into her final push and be ready for chop sometime this weekend. Still not a whole lot of amber trichs so until she’s got the ratio I want, she’ll keep going.

Hello All! I'm BACK! I took a month off and I am so ready to get back to growing. I am adding a couple of things this grow different from my last. So look for some of the new things I am implementing. For starters! This time I will be growing from a seed. I purchased my seeds from Seed Supreme. The strain I will be growing this time is going to be SKunk#1. The Skunk#1 that i am growing this time is an Auto Flower. Two things are already different. Germinating from a seed, and growing an AutoFlower. 10/30/23 - Day 1 - Right now I chose to setup my heat mat, put the dome over the mat and put the water cup on the mat. I'm going to let the seed soak for 24 hrs. Tomorrow ill pull it out and put it in a damp cloth in side the dome with the heat pad. 10/31/23 - Day 2 - Happy Halloween yall! This is a good sign, less than 24hrs and the seed has already started to open. I got a paper towel wet, and I moved the seed to the paper towel. Ill keep her in the wet, paper towl. In the cup. Thats on the heat mat under the dome. Important to note, the heat mat is set for 120deg. Its off the ground on a table. I leave it on 24/7 during this whole process. 11/1/23 - Day 3 - I'm Really impressed. She already popped and sprouted a tail! I'm going to wait until her tail is sticking out a lot more before moving her to the LEAF box. So a couple of things got done today. I wanted to set up my Leaf box differently this time. Last grow I use the manual options for water and humidity. I was the person who would refill the water and the humidifier. This time I ran all the correct PVC to allow the Leaf Box to use the automatic process. I should be able to be super hands-off this time. I have an RO water system that I set up to feed the Leaf Box. I posted a Video of me taking the seed and planting it into Rockwool. I could start the Leaf box up now, but I want the seed to grow a bit more. Right now it's still on a hot mat, with plenty of water. I also added some Root Armor. 11/2/23 - Day 4 - The top of the seed is already starting to poke out. This seed has no chill.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!
