Now 48h in the darkroom

Looking forward to growing my first strain from royal queen seeds.Hopefully it exceeds my expectations.Grown in south africa

Partimos la segunda semana de floración de nuestras green gelato de Royalqueenseeds! Alimentadas con Nutrientes quemanta e iluminadas con el #spectrumboard de 75w de heavengrowligths. Ya notamos el desarrollo de las primeras flores, aplicamos los nutrientes específicos en la dosificación recomendada para la semana en la que va 🤟🏻

Not as many photos these past few weeks because this and harvest are the most non-eventful. However, I can add that this variety of cannabis is EXTREMELY robust and vibrant despite light, nutrient and medium constraints! I get why growth is slowing; I've introduced far-red for EOD and BOD 15 minute regiments and I'm slowly decreasing light lengths instead of flipping(I don't want to stress out other plants in room). This is fine with me as not only this plant outgrown its area horizontally, I have roughly 20% vertical space remaining which should work out with flowering stretch. I didn't want to put flowering in this weeks journal despite obvious maturity(pistils are kool-aide red), the transition is slow but the past 3 days have been slow-er than past month. Lots of very lime green new growth which I've associated with a tad bit of light bleaching but actual leaves themselves show no signs of anything, I go back to when this plant was weeks old...it was very lime green then too so Boron, Molybdenum and Magnesium issues are out of the window. Same with iron. This plant is just fine but could use some UVa baths to pull out those phenotypical traits, a couple more days and my custom built board will be added to this room for 6hr increments. Otherwise, all is good. I could transplant but it's not showing it's rootbound. I could also raise my lights, I probably will tonight even though I've grown other plants 1" away with zero burn(around the led edges). I also have been feeding with McCormick(must be an old-school midwest thing) Strawberry Extract and as usual been seeing the plant respond, especially with "oops, too much" moments when using the blackstrap molasses! This micro area has a very humid(despite 45%Rh), dank, floral smell and when doing the rub test; this plant has a very fruity pungency to it. I like using molasses all the way through as when buds are harvested are much more dense, stay humid longer and have much more sugary kief. Rambling. Next week will have the 365nm UV, the results will blow your mind! Until then. Couldn't figure out the extreme lime green new growth despite almost perfect growing conditions all around, concluded light bleaching but never thought N or Iron deficiency. After transplanting, roots were pearl white, no rotting spots and very little soil showing. Good thing I amended heavily with 5-3-3 and 4-15-12 dry amendments and that blood meal I bought weeks back...3 days later the darker green is coming back! Lots of growth and it has a very distinct strawberry candy aromas when watered and when surrounding air is humid. I have also stopped using my 150w ceramic heater, temps hover 76°F to 80°F day and stay constant 66-68° nights. This plant has almost ideal growing conditions and you can see it's now focusing energy to forming sturdy bud sites. 2 more weeks until full blown flower 12/12 cycle but I cannot wait for this heatsink to get here for this UV light I've sourced. This girl has the structure..

Kings Juice and CBD compassion are developing a nice odour. The Kuchi Diesel is developing a nice diesel scent with a shrubbery type branching, buds all over. The milky dreams is growing some popcorn buds full of trichomes. Jack Lemonade is nice long buds full of trichomes. The moweeto has a particular indica aspect in the leaves grows like a hemp plant and has nice bud development. Gorilla CBD is developing like a shrub, with bud sites all over.

5/6/25 beautiful dang plant. Nice stretchy indica structure. She will produce very nicely. Excited to see how the bud structure is later in her life

Day 78

Teniendo el sustrato preparado con antelación un par de días antes.. nos animamos a germinar, tengo una tremenda ilusión con esta pequeña, me hace muy feliz verla crecer!🌱 Ojalá todo salga bien y pueda acompañarla hasta el final en este precioso viaje 👽❤️🌱 Nos hemos marcado tres objetivos en este cultivo: 1-hacer un cultivo seguro y no ser detectados👮‍♂️🥇 2-conseguir una cosecha en menos de 2 meses con éxito 🏇🥈 3-gastar la mínima cantidad de recursos posible con el máximo rendimiento posible🤑🌍⚡🥉

Day98 is the Harvest day for Tamara and finally 1105 g wet for my first grow. I am satisfied with the result. Thx to FastBuds for the good strain and thx Tamara where Share 98 days with me and my fails 🤭🤗💚.

Both ladies are getting fat and heavy 1 more week for the Gorila Cookies and harvest and 2-3 weeks for the Gorilla Glue and it will be time for drying curign and smkoing 🙂

Veg week two. Everything seems to be ok at this point.

Another good week!! I defoliated the smaller of the 2 plants mid-week... I think she is doing very fine. A small hiccup with the feed that same night. Only a few leaves are showing any sign on nutrient burn. I went ahead and fed them again today. I plan on watering them in a day or two... they were very thirsty this afternoon!! So, I definitely need to up the watering. I've still been feeding 3 quarts twice a week. Otherwise, all seems to be going well!! They are frosting up very nicely!! So exciting!! Peace!! Update for grow question: @The8thChevron thanks!!! I pulled them and will hope for the best for now. So close to the finish line. If I see more trouble brewing I will pull the plant. I don't know how to answer directly to you on the grow question.... Thanks again!!

Of course towards end of harvest Mother Nature decides to fuck me with rain and then really warmer than average weather...it's been a battle with humidity and heat this week nearing finishing..... has lost some density due to this and also I can smell the grow a lot more...I'm guessing the heats volatizing my terpenes noice....got the foxtails aswell. Fffffuuu-

She has gone into flushing... Very nice recovery... she has produces some nice skunky smelling buds.. she is very tall and bending over... hope she goes good untill the end... fingers crossed.. 🙏

Just a couple of hours since I returned from Africa, was there on volunteer work. I see a lot of comments written to me, I will answer everyone later) Happy New Year to all, love and peace all we need¦ Thanks to Seed Banks for amazing genetics, thank you for their great work, GD team for amazing project, Thanks to everyone who follow my grow report, love u all, Peace!

Popped in 5 only 1 popped out. Very disappointed but excited to see the one grow. Thinking I may have popped in the soil prematurely.

This week I started her LST and bent her top over as far as possible without snapping and locked her in place. I use soft wire "Gear Ties" sold in the hardware section of most places. I got mine at Home Depot. I highly recommend these for anyone serious about Lst. I kept her in this position for about 4 days before adjusting placement and pulling the main top back down below the lower branches. I have been maintaining the same feeding schedule "week 4 hydro" 3/4 str main nutrients, 1/2 str Open Seasame. She started showing preflowers on me even though it's been in an 18/6 light cycle. So that's why OS and week 4 feeding was opted. Even though the plant was technically 2 months old, she's only been fed and treated right for 2 weeks now. So week 7 from seed, I started at the week 3 schedule.
