Hyperion F1 from RQS - 2 Gallon Indoor Organic with Ventana Plan Science

This is my first attempt at a F1 Auto, and I am excited! My plan for this plant is to keep it simple and focus purely on plant health and root structure development. I will do some LST, as per usual, with my autos, but I really want to hone in my use of Ventana Plant Science, FlavUh, and Stash Blend (see links below for descriptions).

Previous autos have seen me over-fertilize a bit here and there. It has been an engaging challenge to find the best use to each level of Ventana Plant Science, while consistently being aware that autos need lower concentrations throughout their life cycle. Each plant is unique, but continued trials and working through variables is quite fun!

I went with a 2-gallon pot. I have some autos in a 1-gallon pot to see if I can max out root growth in those (see my Green Gelato Grow Journal), so it made sense to see if I could do the same for 2-gallon pots. Another point of data!

I want to continue to work on my photography as well, so you may see some evolution in pictures, time lapses, and other possible media productions.

Here are some initial specifications for seeds, soil, nutrients, and grow environment:

Seeds: Hyperion F1 From Royal Queen Seeds

Soil: Paonia Soil Co.: The Bomb 50/50 Mix

Nutrients:

Root Boosters and Blends Great White Mycorrhizal Fungi Root Enhancer, DYNOMYCO Premium Mycorrhizal Inoculant, Mykos Mycorrhizal Inoculant, Tribus Organic Microbial Inoculant

Main Nutrient System: Ventana Plant Science (VPS), FlavUh, Stash Blend

Grow Environment:

Light: AC Infinity IONBOARD S44 – LED Grow Light Board 400W

Tent: AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 642, Advance Grow Tent 4 x 2

Humidifier: AC infinity CLOUDFORGE T3

Ventilation and Circulation: AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T-Series Duct Fan 4 Inch, AC Infinity Duct Carbon Filter, Australian Charcoal, 4-Inch, AC Infinity CLOUDRAY A6, Gen 2 Grow Tent Clip Fan 6”

Pots: Off-Brand Reusable Fabric Pots 2 Gallon from Amazon

Day 1 - 14

Germinations was successful and Hyperion F1 is off to a great start! I read about a cool root growth promotion trick that I implemented here. As the seedling grows, you can create a trench around the circumference of your choice, with the seed center stage. If you water in that ditch, it will funnel through the soil along that circle with a bit more focus, and in turn, will encourage roots to stretch to access that moisture. We will see if that holds true and helps with root growth, but the health of the plant is great thus far!

It received two doses of water this week: 500 ml of PH balanced water with 1 ml/gallon of Tribus and 1 tsp of Great White.

Here is a quick timelapse of the growth up to day 14!

Throughout the next week, I will continue to monitor plant health and will likely stay light on the nutrients and give the soil its opportunity to shine!

Stay tuned next Wednesday for updates, and let me know your thoughts on my priorities, nutrients, and goals!

7.5 weeks? Wow, that’s amazing! I just finished up some Fast Eddy CBD and Haze Auto, and they went fast too. I love adding to the menu haha

Day 14 to 21

Plant health is looking strong, color vibrant, and hopefully a strong root structure is developing. I recently transferred some photoperiods into 1-gallon pots and their root systems were simply beautiful. I went with the same mix of DYNOMYCO and MYKOS as I did for those, so I am expecting great things. With the inclusion of a final dose of Great White in my PH balanced (6.4) water, with 1 ml of Tribus, the plant is looking healthy and thriving.

I have not added any nutrients yet, but given we are three weeks in, I will start to monitor growth and reaction of the beginning of LST to meet the plant where it needs.

As mentioned, I started LST a few days ago, around day 18 of life. Some folks think it might be a bit early, but I think it’s worth a more gradual approach with starting the plant tilt as early as possible. I find that the growth balances nicely around the trained plant.

Heading into week 4, I expect to continue some daily, yet minimal, LST. Water levels will likely remain at 500 ml every 2 - 3 days, but I could very well move to 1 l given the 2-gallon pot.

Check out my day 6 to 21 timelapse! I’ll continue to produce these start to current date style timelapses throughout the journal, but let me know if you’d like to see the plant from other angles, or perhaps some longer videos.

Well hope its ok im watching and taging along to see what happens!! I just started another epilson and cosmos byt this time im doing dwc to see if i can get better… and now rqs gave me 3 free orion f1 seeds!!

Absolutely! I just pulled a batch of Fast Eddy CBD and Royal Haze Autos from RQS. 8 different phenotypes haha!

It’s great though. I grow for my own chronic pain so I tend to keep my plants small. It’s like harvesting 9 different plants!

I’d love to have you, and everyone follow this lovely Hyperion.

I love RQS, the are affordable and has lots of great giveaways. The phenotype consistency isn’t an issue for me, it keeps it fun!
