2.0 | Mainlining RQS Special Queen

fubar_1337 Plants transitioned into early veg. They were moved into final pots: 35L AutoPot with coco/perlite mix and 11L fabric pot with Light·Mix. AutoPot system still off, topfeeding only. Feeding: 1L water per plant every ~2 days, Biobizz Root Juice (1 ml/L), Bio Grow (1 ml/L) Data: Avg. Temp: 25°C | RH: 68% | VPD: ~0.60

fubar_1337 Strong veg growth. Light increased slightly. Plants received early LST and were topped above 3rd node. Environmental values were stable and growth was vigorous. Feeding: Biobizz Grow increased to 2 ml/L, CalMag added at 0.5 ml/L. AutoPot still off. Data: Avg. Temp: 24.8°C | RH: 66% | VPD: ~0.70

fubar_1337 Mainlining structure completed on the main plant. AutoPot turned on late in the week. Fabric pot still top-fed manually. Strong canopy development on both plants. Light intensity increased gradually. Feeding: Biobizz Grow 2 ml/L, CalMag 0.5 ml/L. EC ~1.1, pH ~6.2. Data: Avg. Temp: 25.2°C | RH: 65% | VPD: ~0.75

fubar_1337 Plants trained under SCROG net, LST adjusted. Canopy filled out. First signs of preflowering visible. Climate well controlled, slight defoliation performed. Feeding: Biobizz Grow 2 ml/L, CalMag 0.5 ml/L, Top Max 1 ml/L. EC ~1.2. Data: Avg. Temp: 24.5°C | RH: 65% | VPD: ~0.75

fubar_1337 Final defoliation and SCROG training before flip. Flowering initiated on July 28 (light cycle 12/12). DLI around 40, PPFD 850–900. One plant showed signs of stress (fabric pot 11l), likely due to overwatering + light stress – adjustments made. Feeding: Grow 2 ml/L, Bloom 1 ml/L, CalMag 0.5 ml/L. EC ~1.2. AutoPot remained running. Data: Avg. Temp: 24.8°C | RH: 63% | VPD: ~0.85

fubar_1337 The bigger Special Queen in the AutoPot showed strong development, while the smaller plant lagged behind but remained healthy. Light training and selective defoliation were carried out to prepare the canopy for stretch.Keeping VPD in range despite external weather changes. Both plants were fed with Biobizz nutrients at ~75–80 % strength via top-feeding, while the AutoPot system continued to supply clean osmosis water.

fubar_1337 This week was marked by stable climate control and healthy plant response after the recent transplant. The SCROG net was maintained, and light defoliation was performed on the larger plant to open up the canopy. The smaller plant, though bushy, was left mostly intact to avoid over-stressing after transplant. Both plants showed daily leaf movement — reaching for the light during the day and relaxing at night — a sign of good turgor and rhythm. Environmental conditions stayed well within target, with VPD averaging around 1.14 kPa during the day and 0.92 kPa at night. On Sunday, a corrective action was taken to address minor color variations: the feed was adjusted to include the full bloom-phase nutrient mix at 75 % strength. Spoiler: within 24 hours, the color balance already started to improve. Reason for transplanting the smaller plant: The smaller Special Queen was transplanted from an 11 L fabric pot into an AutoPot system to ensure more consistent watering and nutrient delivery during the bloom stretch. The original pot was starting to dry out unevenly, which risked fluctuations in moisture and root zone health. By moving it into the AutoPot setup, we aimed to stabilize its environment, promote steady root expansion, and allow it to keep pace with the larger plant under the SCROG. The transplant was carried out carefully to minimize root disturbance, and the plant showed no signs of transplant shock in the following days.

fubar_1337 This week both Special Queens showed clear flowering signs. The larger, light-green pheno stretched faster, while the smaller, dark-green plant remained bushier and drank less water due to its recent transplant into the 35 L AutoPot. Both were top-fed with Biobizz nutrients (about 75 % schedule, EC ~1.0, pH 6.3) and continued to receive RO water via the AutoPot reservoir. The plants consumed around 3–5 cm daily from the 47 L tank, which was refilled and stabilized with CalMag. Several defoliation sessions were done to remove shaded fan leaves and open the canopy. The larger plant was slightly trained under the net, while the smaller one was carefully thinned out. After these steps, humidity improved noticeably inside the tent. A new AI climate controller was installed this week, which now keeps VPD stable around 1.0–1.2 kPa, even during the night phase. Overall, both plants look healthy and vigorous, with many bud sites forming. The setup feels stable, and the time-lapse footage shows daily leaf movement and recovery. The differences between phenos are striking, but both appear to be on track for strong flowering.

fubar_1337 This week is still in Progress, these are just comments for myself. ____________ - PPFD was switched to roughly 1000 - 1050 in the tops - expected more from the stretch - but thats my first photo so we‘ll see
