Indoor Nben's Royal Queen Genetics Grows

[nben]

Hello all. I am starting a journal to keep track of my Royal Queen Auto Diesel and invite you to join in!

This plant will be grown first in the Aerogarden. This is how I start all my plants until they are large enough to go into the DWC bucket. There really isn't much to say at the moment since it's just a sprout but I can say some positives that I was happy to find. This is the second one that I have started. Both seeds have sprouted in 24 hours, telling me that the quality of seed is very good.

I am doing LST on the first one that I have sprouted. The plant in the photo is only 2 1/2 weeks old! Most have a lag from sprout to growth but this one seemed to bypass it. Exciting!

Here is the LST plant, this one is going to be grown entirely in the Aerogarden... I am growing this one for pollen by reversal so for this thread we won't be paying that much attention to it. I include it here just to show how amazingly well it is growing for being so young (well, I think so anyway!):



Here is the sprout of the plant we will be watching:


It is currently "sharing" the Aerogarden with the LST plant. I'm keeping the nute strength at 1/4 so as not to burn it and I am still only giving 1-1-1 ratio (again, 1/4 strength). Using General Hydroponics Flora three part series.

This isn't going to be all about hydroponics I'm just stating the setup...

Again, this plant will only be sharing the same reservoir for about 2 weeks, just long enough for the sprout to get large enough to produce roots and be planted into the DWC bucket.

Lets start you off with some .......:stylez rasta smoke:​

Thanks CGR! My only concern is nute burn in the younger plant. I have another Aerogarden so if I notice any problems developing I will transfer the sprout to that one. I have grown other sprouts in weak solutions before though and never have had a problem. This Wednesday will begin 1/4 strength 3-2-1 GH nute solution. If there is no burn I think I will be good to go!

CORRECTION!! I looked at my calander and somehow a week must have escaped me. It is actually 3 1/2 weeks. I'm still impressed with it either way...

Just wanted to drop an update on the seedling. It is growing well but obviously struggling for light since it is competing with it's larger mate:



Soon she will have her own bucket and I fully expect her to take off quite well. I am waiting for this Northern Lights X Big Bud to finish:



I have removed the top most buds and am waiting for these secondary ones to finish. I will pull her after that, should be sometime this week. There appears to be nothing but popcorn buds after these so there won't be much waste. Can't wait to post of a pic of the Diesel after transplanting!

Moved the sprouting plant to it's own Aerogarden today. The plant hogging the bucket it is waiting for still has not finished. Poor thing stretched a little but it's healthier than a horse. I am quite sure it will look much different after a couple days growth:



It looks as if this will be it's home for at least another week, if not two.

I am trying to over-ripen one bottom branch that I pollinated so I get seeds on the plant I currently have in the bucket. I thought I didn't get any but then one seed revealed itself yesterday.

This seedling should be fine until it's permanent move.

Finally she is where she will stay.

Here is a week two update on the plant. It amazes me how fast Cannabis grows when it's happy! Good genetics Royal Queen!

Here is the latest pic. Week 3 in big bubbler. Plant is showing typical extremely fast vegetative growth associated with autos. Also seen is the beginning of the main cola.
