Apple Fritter, Royal Creamatic

29.12. - Plants are doing well. All of them have developed second pair of leaves. 🌿 30.12. - I could not believe my eyes when I looked into growbox this morning. The Apple Fritter seed that I thought was dead sprouted next to it's replacement 🌱 So I carefully transplanted the Green Gelato into the new pot, now I have 7 plants ❤️ 4.1. - Just wow. First week of the veg went really well, plants gained on height, got thicker and developed first true leaves, so I'm starting with nutrients from next week 😎 29.12. - 4.1.2024

6.1. - Plants are looking very good. First branches are already developing, so I guess I will have to start with LST soon. 8.1. - First branches are shooting out, leaves and plants overall are getting bigger. I hope they'll keep this tempo and health. Watered. 9.1. - Today I've decided to apply some LST and I accidentally snapped off the main stem of one Creamatic. I've fixed it back with tape, but not sure how it will end. 😔 10.1. - I've checked the broken plant and decided to remove that part. Plant already started focusing on the branches that are left, so basically one plant was topped unintentionally ✂️ 11.1. - Week wrap-up: Well, this week was half fail half success. Plants are growing fast and healthy, however I've managed to fuck them up a bit as usual. One accidentally topped plant and one with broken but healing branch. I've decided to give up on the LST of main stems completely. I will let them grow up and just spread the branches with wires. Hope next week will be more successful ✌️ 5.1. - 11.1.2024

12.1. - I've started the week by adding the wires I mentioned, to spread the branches. I can already see some signs of preflower stage, so I guess it was right choice to stop bending the main stems. Let's see how will the plants react. 14.1. - Plants have reacted very well to the LST, so I've decided to add some more wires to the branches. Also had to tighten the ones already in place. 15.1. - Branches are shooting up, first preflower signs are clearly visible so I'm adding Bio Bloom & Top Max to the mix as well. Watered. 💧 17.1. - Almost all of the plants took over the full width of my pots. I have to adjust the wires everyday due to speed and strength of the branches. Seems like they really love LST. Watered. 💧 18.1. - Week wrap-up: I'm very happy to say that this week was successful. Plants have a lot of new growth and future bud sites. Today, I just couldn't resist and decided to bend the main stem to even all plants to same height. I've also swapped the plastic boxes under pots for new racks. I'm considering that I'll plant one more seed as I have some free space now, however I could use bigger LED. 💡 12.1. - 18.1.2024

19.1. - Plants are entering their first week of flowering as the bud sites are clearly visible and pistils are shooting up! 21.1. - Watered 💧 24.1. - Watered 💧 25.1. - Wrap-up of the week: Plants went through another successful week. Lots of bud sites are visible and already developing. I've also spot some first sugar. However, I've also managed to snap the main stem on the Gelato plant, not completely. I've fixed it back, so we'll see but I must have som bad luck as this was second time during this run 🙄 19.1. - 25.1.2024

26.1. - I've added some wires back to spread the branches as much as possible. I think that plants look very nice and buds are getting bigger each day 😎 27.1. - Added more Cal-Mag and also some Epsom salt to the nutrient mix. I think the plants are starting to show signs of deficiency. Same thing happened on last run at the same time, so I hope I will catch it in time. Watered 💧 30.1. - I've decided to remove Bio Grow from my mix completely and upped the Cal-Mag. However, yellowing is still present 😩 Watered 💧 1.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm happy to say that this was another successful week as plants gained a lot of new growth and existing buds are gaining and becoming fat and frosty. ❄️ Also, I think I've managed to stop the yellowing.

2.2. - Seems like I'm still doing something wrong. My plants got more yellow. Watered 💧 4.2. - I've added and adjusted some wires. Also, I've decided to defoliate a bit...at least the most yellow parts. Buds are swelling and getting more frosty each day ❄️ 5.2. - Watered 💧 7.2. - I think that I am making the rookie mistake of underwatering and that's the cause of yellowing of plants closest to the LED. Let's hope it that ✌️ Watered 💧 8.2. - Week wrap-up: It seems like plants like more water. Buds are getting more fat and sugar coated each day ❄️ Also the smell got more strong and bit fruity when touching them 🍎 🍦 2.2. - 8.2.2024

9.2. - I've decided that this is the last week of feeding or maybe last feeding as I'm already considering to flush. Leaves are still yellowing, however the buds are looking fat and frosty. Thankfully, they grow bigger each day with stronger smell. I see more and more amber trichomes. ❄️ Watered 💧 11.2. - Watered 💧 12.2. - Looks like snow blizzard in the tent ❄️ also the smell is getting so strong that my filter is not enough 😁 Buds are swelling and the Gelato plant went totally crazy as you can see...finally, things are going well ❤️‍ 15.2. - Week wrap-up: Today I flushed 4 of 7 plants 🚽 This was very successful week as I got rid of the deficiencies and buds gained a lot of weight and sugar 🍭 Also the Gelato plant is thriving and I'm very excited to see the final results. Next week I'll harvest the flushed plants ✂️ 9.2. - 15.2.2024

16.2. - Entering new week, which is the last one for the 4 plants I flushed already. Everything is looking fine and I'm excited to harvest ✂️ 19.2. - So tomorrow is one of the big days. I've decided to harvest few of my plants as they look ready to me ❤️ I've also added some close-ups of the beautiful frosty, fat and smelly buds ✌️ 20.2. - One Creamatic and one Fritter harvested ✂️ I've decided that others still have some time left to mature. 22.2. - Week wrap-up: Two plants harvested and drying, another two getting ready and others are still growing. I'm getting worried about the Gelato plant as it started yellowing and buds are not developing much. 16.2. - 22.2.2024

23.2. - Watered 💧 25.2. - Watered 💧 26.2. - Yesterday I've dropped the light lower and it's already doing it's work. Plants got noticeably back to bud development. Gelato plant is just an experiment at this point as that pheno went completely mad 😁 27.2. - Watered 💧 28.2. - I've cut down the Gelato plant. Unfortunately, it would not yield any decent buds. Rest in peace Gelato 29.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm left with 4 plants. 2 creamatics got their last feeding today, only water for one more week. Two fritters will be feeded at least one more week and then I will reconsider. However, it was fine week as buds got more big and dense 😎 Watered 💧 23.2. - 29.2.2024

1.3. - Entering one of the final weeks. Creamatics will be getting pure water from now and Fritters will be feeded at least this week. Buds are looking great, they're smelly and dense 😎 4.3. - Creamatics are almost ready, I will leave them for few more days. Fritters still have one week left at least. Aroma is really strong and I can feel it all over the room. Buds are fat and frosty 🍏 Watered 💧 6.3. - Today was probably last feeding day for Fritters and tomorrow I'm going to harvest the Creamatics as it will be the last day of 10th week. Looking forward to see the results. Watered 💧 7.3. - Week wrap-up: Harvest day for Creamatics! Fritters are still fattening, so I guess they have one more week of flushing left 🍏 1.3. - 7.3. 2024

Harvest #1 at 8 weeks (too soon) Plant #1 - 80g wet, 13g dry Harvest #2 at 11 weeks Plant #2 - 90g wet, 18g dry Plant #3 - 82g wet, 16g dry I'm happy with the results so far, we'll see what the dry weight will be. As usual, I've made some mistakes that probably cost me some grams, but I don't think that quality suffered much. Buds are dense and smell is nice. I don't feel any caramel taste, but that might change with more curing. Update: I would say decent harvest. The buds themselves are pretty fine, smelly and nice looking. However, I am bit sad about the weight. I hope that I can keep my average of about 20-25g per plant, however if you make mistakes, you have to pay with grams. At least, I got some more skills for next round

8.3. - Last week for last two plants. These Fritters look really tasty and buds are hard as real apples 🍏 This week I won't use any nutrients, just pure water. Watered 💧 11.3. - Plants have been in dark for last two days and without watering. Considering that I'll harvest today as my next seeds are already soaked in water. 8.3. - 14.3.2024

Harvest #1 at 8 weeks (too soon) Plant 1 - 84g wet, 15g dry Harvest #2 at 12 weeks Plant 2 - 111g wet, 23g dry Plant 3 - 102g wet, 18g dry
