FB Apricot + RQS Watermelon in Living Soil with FLOrganics!

Terp1 mix FLORGANICS into your substrate a week before use, water it lightly, and let it rest in a sealed container for 7 days. This way, the microorganisms can get to work and help your plants to the max. Also, let your water sit for 24 hours before watering your plants; this reduces negative substances like chlorine and allows the temperature to adjust.

Terp1 10.08.2023 Day 19 Yeah, not much to say spontaneously. 😬 The run is going pretty well so far except for an anomaly with the Watermelon, which became sexually mature on day 17. There was a lamp upgrade to a SANlight EVO 4-80, which is currently running at a gentle 40% power. I’m totally fascinated by this lamp. What a BEAST! 💪😎 Other than that, I’m currently just feeding the two with water at pH 6.5 and EC 0.4, and they’re doing great. I hope the Watermelon takes its time with the flowering!!! Otherwise, THANKS for stopping by, Gromies, and see you next week. Your Terp

Terp1 15.08.2023 Day 24 - Week 4 / Day 3 Light: 40cm – 40% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 80% Temperature: 28°C VPD: 0.6 kPa Notes: - Watered plants with 0.5 liters of water pH 6.5, EC 5.5; added 1ml CalMag per liter of water - Plants look incredibly well-fed (actually too good) and are unbelievably strong, making LST quite difficult - Incredibly thick and stiff stems that are only really flexible at the top; should I be worried? - It's been raining non-stop for 2 days – the RH and thus the VPD are completely messed up - Removed one leaf from each plant - this time I'm only doing the necessary defoliation Week 4 has just started. I'm curious to see how they will look at the end of the week. 💪😎 #################################################################################################################################################################################################################### 16.08.2023 Day 25 - Week 4 / Day 4 Light: 40cm – 40% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 73% Temperature: 28°C VPD: 1.0 kPa Notes: - The Watermelon is in bloom. Fuck. I would have liked to let it grow for another 5 days - The Apricot, on the other hand, looks like it's taking its time. Good girl. Grow big and strong. 💪

Terp1 21.08.2023 Day 30 The Watermelon has been visible in bloom for about 6-7 days, the Apricot for about 2 days. The week has just begun. The ladies look amazing - just Flo and H2O. I will continue to update this week with pictures, just like I did last week. Wishing all Gromies great growth! Terp 💪😎 ####################################################################################################################################################################################################### 26.08.2023 Day 35 I flushed the plant today with 2 liters of drain. Just a little, because the soil was clearly over-fertilized. I hope the ladies will look a bit brighter soon. ####################################################################################################################################################################################################### 27.08.2023 Day 36 I already feel like the ladies are doing much better. The weather has normalized again and I'm running the tent at 26.8°C with 65-68% RH. Perfect! 💪😎 Let's keep the great growth going!

Terp1 29.08.2023 Day 38 The Watermelon (pre-flowering on day 17, flowering on day 22) is stretching very little now. It will probably stay this small, but hopefully produce some fat nuggets. The Apricot is stretching about 2-3cm every day now. There's not much more to say. They are doing exceptionally well with the nutrients... you can really see that compared to the BioBizz Apricot. I just wish they had stayed in veg for another week. Catch you later Terp 💪😎

Terp1 06.09.2023 Day 46 - Week 7 / Day 1 Light: 45cm – 60% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 60% Temperature: 26°C VPD: 1.4 kPa Notes: - Height of Apricot: 46cm - Height of Watermelon: 34cm I raised the Watermelon to the same height as the Apricot. They’re still just getting light and water, and they’re doing a great job. The Apricot has muscles on every branch. It looks amazing. I think it has something planned. The nuggets on the Watermelon are also getting hefty. I have a feeling about it. The Apricot has been showing light stress on the leaves since week 3, which won’t go away no matter how much I raise or dim the lamp. So I’ll keep going. Next week I’ll try 45cm at 80%. A new camera is coming soon. Finally. 💪😎 ################################################################################################################################################################################################################## 07.09.2023 Day 47 - Week 7 / Day 2 Light: 45cm – 80% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 60% Temperature: 26°C VPD: 1.4 kPa The environmental conditions are nearly perfect and 90% stable. It can keep going like this. I have the EVO running at 80% now. The Apricot might not like that. I’m keeping an eye on it. Terp 💪😎

Terp1 12.09.2023 Day 52 - Week 8 / Day 3 Light: 45cm – 80% Light Cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 58% Temperature: 26°C VPD: 1.4 kPa Notes: Height Apricot: 46cm Height Watermelon: 34cm There were a few issues with the mix ratio, which led to the Watermelon flowering way too early and some good N stress for both ladies. Overall, they both handled it well and are now pumping out thick nuggets. I’m watering the ladies with about 2 liters of H2O daily and enjoying their scent after work. 😍 More updates this week. ########################################################################################################################################################################################################## 15.09.2023 Day 55 - Week 8 / Day 6 Light: 40cm – 80% Light Cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 60% Temperature: 27°C VPD: 1.5 kPa Notes: I may have overdone it a bit with the water. The Watermelon is showing signs of overwatering (could also be N). But just a little, so I’m not worried. Friends, the big growth continues. There’s a newcomer in the tent. I’m not sure if there will be a diary for her, but she will at least make guest appearances... and she’s going to be a very beautiful lady... AlmostBuds Crystal Meth. Terp 💪😎

Terp1 20.09.2023 Day 59 - Week 9 / Day 3 Light: 40cm – 70% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 55% Temperature: 26°C VPD: 1.6 kPa Notes: Height Apricot: 46cm Height Watermelon: 34cm Flowering is just boring. 😅 It's going well, I would say. There are a few signs on the plants, like burnt tips, curled leaf edges, and physical damage. Due to moderate overwatering in the last 14 days and too heavily pre-fertilized Living Soil. But everything is within a pleasant range. They can handle it easily. The Watermelon still needs about 2 weeks to ripen, the Apricot is still fattening up. Thanks for stopping by. Terp 💪😎

Terp1 Blütenfäule an der Wassermelone. Es ist bisher nur dieser eine Bud betroffen. Ich habe den kompletten Ast entfernt, die Pflanze weiter auseinandergebogen und lasse sie jetzt so erstmal die nächsten Tage stehen. Was sagt ihr? Die ganze Pflanze wegschmeißen? Ernten? Oder stehen lassen und beobachten, ob die Fäule auch noch woanders auftritt? Update: ich habe die Pflanze entlaubt, noch weiter auseinander gebogen und werde sie die nächsten Tage ernten. Die war echt schnell fertig. Also, wer eine schnelle Pflanze haben will, ist mit der Kleinen bestens bedient. 💪 Was meint ihr ist das an dem einen Blatt? Ich halte es für Calcium- und/oder Kalium-Mangel. Aber ich rate da nun ziemlich. Ich hoffe es hat nichts mit dem Pilz zu tun. Update: spielt auch keine Rolle mehr. Die Trichome der Wassermelone sind milchig bis amber. Ich habe eine wichtige Erfahrung gemacht. Terp 💪😎

Terp1 03.10.2023 Day 71 The watermelon has fallen today. I can’t wait to try it. The grow went pretty smoothly, even though I had peaks of excitement here and there. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the lady. She has formed stunningly beautiful buds and smells simply irresistible. Really very, very beautiful buds covered in trichomes. Sexy AF. Terp 💪😎

Terp1 05.10.2023 Day 74 - Week 11 / Day 4 Light: 40cm – 50% Light cycle: 18/6 Humidity: 50% Temperature: 26°C VPD: 1.6 kPa Height Apricot: 46cm Comments: - Light reduced to 50% @ 40cm regulated - this corresponds to a DLI of 32.4 at 18/6 - Unfortunately, I also lost the 2 thickest branches of the Apricot to bud rot 😐 - However, it was recognized very, very, very early and removed extensively in the form of the whole shoot 👌 - I really got in there with my USB microscope. Not quite that close 😅 but close enough to view the buds in excellent resolution and easily distinguish trichomes from mycelium - I hope the Apricot can hold on for the last two weeks at 45-50% RH - But I’m feeling very positive about it… it looks damn good 👊 I don’t want any immature weed Terp 💪😎

Terp1 21.10.2023 Day 90 I've been a bit quiet lately... but somehow work always got in the way 😅 But I have to check in now because today I harvested. I already had a finished Apricot from the neighboring tent, so I have a rough idea of what to expect here. An absolutely overwhelming head high, followed by relaxation on the couch with about 2kg of chocolate. 😍 It still smells fruity, like jam - but that will change quickly. It develops a spectacular gas station smell while drying. 😅 but in a good way. Really spectacular and outstanding strain. Smoke it! 💪😎
