I think this strain handled herself perfectly considering that it was my first grow and I still don't know what I'm doing. She survived my poor gardening skills and a fertilizer buildup with her soil runoff being EC 5.8 at some point. Also I had to switch to 12/12 because of another plant in the tent, so she had shorter days for the second half of her flowering. She was really easy to defoliate and trim since she wasn't bushy at all. She was really forgiving. I couldn't see any amber trichomes, but most were milky and I couldn't wait any longer because nanners started popping up on buds. Let's see how she dries, cures and tastes. I hope I can update this later. BTW Thank you RQS for such a great chance to grow her because they sent me this seed for free as a promo campaign when I was buying something else. I still have a second seed which I'm definitely gonna grow.

I managed to over fertilize my soil with my poor watering skills. I hope I can do better next time using EC meter. I don't really get how to control/balance my plant's NPK intake with those formulas bg 4 - 3 - 6, bb 2 - 7 - 4. I think when I cut one and add another that leads to imbalances. Hard to tell.
Dropped my EC from 5.8 to 3.9 during last watering with runoffs. And I hope even more.
Reviews. Lamp
Warms just enough which was good in colder days. More than enough for my tiny tent 40x40cm, never used more than 100W still got light burns and stress.
Reviews. Tent
Great tent, 100% worth the money, discreet.

3 month or 12 weeks and a couple of days. What a journey, I never expected to dive so deep and learn so much. Thank you beautiful people for your time, thoughts and support, special thanks to @Crashoverite for "growership" and spending so much time answering my crazy questions 😸 How I ended up growing a photoperiod and an autoflower in the same tent? I was high enough to drop my thermometer/hydrometer on my SSH when she was just a 2 days old seedling almost snapping her stem. So I planted another seed because I thought she's not gonna survive. This was Orion. And SSH is still flowering in the tent. I never ran my light higher than 100w which was about 75% on the dimmer and even that seemed to stress them. I think it has a lot to do with the compact size of my tent of just 40cm. TS1000 probably can handle bigger spaces but that was more than enough for me. So far my power meter shows 100Kwh for three months which is roughly 35EUR. What do you guys think of my drying space? 😹 That's the best I could come up with considering I can't dry anywhere else and I still have to keep SSH flowering. Temps swing 18-24 day/night, I try to keep rH 50-60%. There are two pc fan blowing the air upwards, kinda sucking it out from the drying zone. I added black paper on the sides to help stop the light getting down there. It's less than 500lux there and the light is 12/12 anyway. I hope this works. There were 184gr of wet buds with stems for hanging. Two biggest colas were 20 and 25gr. In the end there were ~35g of dry buds and 5g of trim. The more it cures the better it gets. Can't really describe the smell and taste, quiet unique.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

yes you can remove them but maybe you're going to have some delay on harvesting, i guess not much. Dont defoliate anyway

Her soil runoff EC was really high 5.8 🙀. 10 days ago I gave her just plain water and 2 days ago I used TA FlashClean, which claims "ready for harvest in two days instead of ten". Do you think I should chop? Sorry for bad images, I can't see any amber tricoms, only my cat's hair

Stick a fork in her, shes done. I think it is time for harvest, Flushing is a bit of a myth, plants don't store excess nutrients in the buds that you smoke, flushing to correct a catastrophic issue like a EC runoff of 5.8 is the correct course of action. Congrats on doing that. Flushing while thinking it will strip the plant of nutrients and not the medium is the bro science method and hold no basis. I think you will be very happy with that buds once its cured and ready. Some plants do not get as ambery as other when ripening, its a good trait. Keep seed or clones from this one. I also agree with the looks like their is a nanner in the first pick. spray a pair of tweezers with water and pluck it out. Good Luck!
