Apollo F1 by RQS indoor

This is the first week after all 4 seeds germinated. They sit in Terras Aquatica light mix soil with perlite. I prefer this soil because it is made without any peat. Good for the environment. I added some Root Juice to the water.

Here we are in the secondd week, the plants are doing well so far. I will move them into their final pots by the end of the week, filled with a mixture of peat-free soil and terra preta, mixed with some perlite. Nutritionwise I chose to work with Greenhouse Feeding Bio-Line. Yust add the grow nutrition to the soil and that is all at the moment.

This is the end of the third week and as you can see the plants are smaller then expected. Coincidentally I saw that the lights were out when they should be switched to on. So I switched the smart socket to on again but after a few seconds it went off again. Even if the timer program was set to lights on at 0600 and off at 0000. So I bought a new smart socket and set the timer to the desireg light scheme. I bet I lost a big amount of sun hours for the plants and that is the reason for the underdeveloped groth. Sad days.

After all issues are fixed the plants start to build up some mass. Yesterday they got some soluble microorganisms made by Tyroler Glückspilze. The powder contains: Ingredients and composition: 1 ml of Mycorrhiza Soluble contains approx. 1,975,042 spores of the following endo- and ectomycorrhizal fungi, as well as beneficial soil microorganisms: Ectomycorrhizal fungi per ml: Pisolithus tinctorius 750,000 spores, Rhizopogon villosulus 125,000 spores, Rhizopogon luteolus 125,000 spores, Rhizopogon amylopogon 125,000 spores, Rhizopogon fulvigleba 125,000 spores, Scleroderma citrinum 156,250 spores, Scleroderma cepa 156,250 spores, Suillus granulatus 156,250 spores, Suillus punctatapies 156,250 spores, Laccaria bicolor 50,000 spores, Laccaria laccata 50,000 spores Endomycorrhizal fungi per ml: Glomus intraradices 8 spores, Glomus mosseae 8 spores, Glomus aggregatum 8 spores, Glomus etunicatum 8 spores, Glomus clarum 2 spores, Glomus margarita 2 spores, Glomus brasilianum 2 spores, Glomus monosporum 2 spores, Glomus deserticola 2 spores Trichodermal fungi per ml: Trichoderma koningii 187,500 spores, Trichoderma harzianum 187,500 spores Beneficial soil microorganisms: Contains 298,469 CFU (colony-forming units) per cc of the following species: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus azotoformans, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Paenibacillus polymyxa, Paenibacillus durum, Paenibacillus fluorescens, Paenibacillus gordonae, Azotobacter polymyxa, Azotobacter chroococcum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Streptomyces griseus, Streptomyces lydicus, Pseudomonas aureofaciens, Deinococcus erythromyxa.

Look at these ladies. After getting one dose of microbiobes they grew a lot that week. So bushy now and still so small. I bet they will come out really nice.

Hey, there are flowers. They finally decided to start flowering. Time to put in the flowering nutrition, 33g of Bio-Bloom for each pot. It includes lots of microbes and mykorrhiza. This will lead to a lot of mould and a great flowering groth.

This second week in flower I cut some lower branches and flowers on the lower nodes. The smell is light and nice, the growth is fine, they tend to stay small and bushy.

Here is the end of the third week of flowering. I am actually happy about the size of the ladies. Three of four are about the same height, the fourth one is a little big taller. Flowers show up everywhere. These ladies are very forgiving, I forgot to water them, so they had5 days between watering and all 4 were very dry, leaves hung down. Watered them. 24h later it was all forgotten. This is about 30h after they were nearly dead. Only had to remove some lower leaves as they were dead.

Here is the end of the third week of flowering. I barely have to do anything, they just grow nicely and even. I only fed them their first dose of Bio enhancer, this is mainly humic acid with some trichoderma for healthy roots and some bacterias who are able to regulate unwanted bacterias and also releases some nitrogen and phosphor out of organic soil.

What can I tell you about this week? This grow is so unspectacular, I have nothing to do here. Just watering them avery second or third day with pure water, that is all. No problems so far, they grow beautifully.

End of Week 11 they slowly fade to yellow, they are almost ripened. Maybe 10 more days to harvest. So about 50 days of flowering seems legit. The smell isn´t heavy, more like a subtle hint of cannabis. Maybe a good strain for stealth outdoor growing.

This is the final week, week 7 of flowering is almost done. Harvest will happen in a few days, for now they get 8 hours of light, reduced to 100W to simulate fall. No more water from now on. The smell is now potent and nice, typical cannabis aroma.

This was the first time I tried an F1 automatic strain from Royal Queen Seeds. The germination was fast, the plants grew nice and steady, the height was under 100cm, great for smaller tents. After 5 weeks the flower kicked in, developed a nice smell of lemons and herbs, like lavender. Flower took about 50 days till I was happy and the plants showed their ripeness. I split harvest, two plants were trimmed wet, the other two were trimmed dry. Hopefully this will give a nice mixture when curing is done. For now, they are curing in glasses with boveda 62% humidity for at least 6 weeks. Really happy with that grow, this was easy and enjoyable. Thank you RQS.
