Indoor Royal Jack auto, Auto haze, AKR auto

[virginia gent]

The royal jack auto is in the middle, about a week old, the auto haze is on the left, about 2 days old and the afkan kush ryder is on the right, about 5 days old. The royal jack from royal queen seeds is new for me and is the first plant with this much cbd, 5-10% cbd and 15-20% thc claimed, that I have grown. The auto haze was free with my order so I am not sure about the breeder. The akr has been a problem, had to plant all three seeds and got only one to pop. Before I planted the last akr I compared it with my other new seeds and noted the seed was small, poor shine and no spots. If I had been in the store I would not have bought these seeds. oh well. The other two were one seed, one plant using the old soak, poke and pray method. Tent is 2X4X7 ft with a 6 in duct booster fan and carbon filter for extraction and two 6 in clip on fans for circulation. Lights are 2 bs240uv and a old style Mars 100X3 with 4 ft t5 in the corners for temps more than light. Nutes will be with advanced sensi cal/mag extra and superthrive, filtered water, 3 gallon airpots and pro-mix bx with 1/3 by volume black gold organic potting soil and 2/3 cup lime with about a cup of perlite.

No. I am too lazy. These plants can get as tall as they want. I think the haze and royal jack are tallish and take longer (11 wks) than most of the plants I have grown.

Week 2 and the RJ is 15 days (center), the Haze is 10 days (left) and the AKR is 13 days (right). So far I have given them a gallon of 3ml cal/mag and a half dozen drops of superthrive at 6.7ph at about day 8 and a gallon of 20ml big bloom, 5ml each grow big, kangaroots, microbebrew and kelp me at 6.6ph at about day 14. The RJ is doing very well but the Haze and AKR seem a bit slow. Color is good the stems are developing well. Lights are at about 24 inches with the T5s off and the temps are 80-83f with rh about 50%.

Week 3, haze (left) is 18 days, RJ (center) is 23 days and the AKR (right) is 20 days. All are responding well to feeding with good color and growth. The royal jack has by far the best stem and branch development. Lights are at about 26 inches and plants are between 5 to 7 inches tall with good spreads.

Week 4 and the haze (left) is at about 10in and 26 days, the royal jack (center) is at about 15in and 31 days and the AKR (right) is at about 19in and 28 days. I think the AKR will stop vertical growth within 5-7 days and be about 28in but I hope the haze and jack will keep growing for another 10-14 days. The haze and jack should take about 11 weeks and the akr about 8 weeks. I have turned on my old 100X3 mars and the T5's, now that the AC runs all the time my basement temps stay in the low to mid 70's.

Week 5 and the haze (31 days) is only 13 inches and buds not showing yet, the RJ (36 days) is about 21 inches with bud showing and the AKR is almost 29 inches with no visible resin yet. The haze was a free with my last order, I think it is a Female Seed Co. seed and may just be a slow girl.

Unless I am missing something this auto haze (free from Supreme Seeds), a Female Seeds product, is not an auto. This is day 33 and no buds, but I think it is a female plant because I can see "horns" at the nodes. I have two auto starting to bloom well but I will change my light schedule from 20/4 to 18/6 and after 5 to 7 days try 12/12 and see what happens. I have never grown a photo and didn't want to start like this. At this point I don't care who screwed up I just know I will not be using Supreme nor will I buy Female Seeds products in the future.

Sometimes I think I might not be as smart as I think I am, other times I know I'm not quite right. Instead of crying about the problem I think I will just move the haze to my other tent for a few weeks and delay the auto grow I was going to start this weekend. I can turn the lights on and off myself, I think it is called a switch. Instead of using a auto feed schedule/amounts I can play around. If in a few weeks I have buds maybe this isn't such a bad thing. Anyway the Royal Jack and the AKR are doing well so now they have more room. Life really can get better if you smoke enough.
