It has been 7 daze since I updated this. So here is the update for
Nov 28, 2017
Royal Seeds the Quick One is 67 days old
Royal Seeds Northern lights is 39 days old
Dutch Passion Blackberry Kush and Ultimate are both 53 days old.
First a shot of my med tent with the front wide open. My temps are 79 to 69 F. RH is 32 - 49. I have the filter on. It REALLY eliminates all smells from the tent. Also since I draw my air from the 18' x 8' utility room I am in even this air is filtered before going into the rest of the home.
At this time I am able to have all 4 ladies dance to their music within the plastic walls I have taped on Scottie. I have a 12" fan blowing 24/7 on the underside of Scottie and all stays cool. IF the temps would go too high then the controller will turn off the light. Scottie has her own fans. At this point I have not needed to use them.
Now a group shot inside the med tent. Front right is Royal Queen Quick One. Back right is Nevil (Royal Queen Northern lights). This was taken before I removed most of her fan leaves. Other pics of her will be after her trim.
Front left is Blackberry Kush from Dutch Passion. Back left is Ultimate from Dutch Passion. All are autos and are using AN nutes. A 400 watt draw at the wall ChilLED Tech light..Scottie. I am also using the controller now. It controls every thing for Scottie. I have Scottie at 16"-18" from the top of the ladies. I have found no burn at this height. It may also be a factor in the extremely tight nodes and bush shape I am getting.
The next pics are Nevil, RQ Northern Lights.
Nevil had a hard to start to her life. She grew extremely well and then I over watered her. She took about 7 days to recover. Once she did she took off again. Now she is again in some pain. She is the only one on "grow" nutes. I did test the PH of her reserve. I found it at 7.1. She looked great, I mean great. I panicked and lowered the ph to 5.6.
Well that sent her into PH shock. I told myself that 5.6 is not dangerous so I did nothing. In a few days she just stopped growing. That is when I threw out the grow res and cleaned it. I then mixed a new batch at 5.8 and her is where I am today. She looks a bit worn but not killed. I have removed most of her fan leaves to expose all tops. I have not topped her. She is all natural. I know she will go forward from here. I also will not PH test the res again.
My res always seem to go high on the grow mix. I have not figured out why. Well here are a couple of pics. At this stage she is slowly growing.
The Quick one from Royal Queen is packing on the resin. All I did to her was LST but I did not top her. The lady is 13" tall and what a monster main cola. All she has ever wanted to do is dance, dance dance and made me say WOW. I hope to see 50 to 60 grams off of her. At this time most of trichomes are clear. Some are cloudy and some are amber. She is still drinking and dancing in the glow of her Scottie. She looks small but believe me she is all bud and trichomes ! I am very impressed with this lady from Royal Queen. I have bought some more from RQ...White Widow, Royal Critical and Northern Lights. I highly recommend you try some !!!!!!
