I started a new diary. I bought and got 3 strains.
Those are for one year glow. I chose Apollo F1. Because, I wanted to grow auto first, and Grape Ape Auto is not on the list of growdiaries strain list. I hope it will be registered soon. But some of the newer strains of RQS are already registered, Grape Ape Auto will be discontinued soon???
I put 2 seeds into Root Riot on March 2. Those cubes were stayed in a food container. I put the container on a heat mat. The temperature of the up surface of the container is around 25 deg. Inside was higher. It is a little bit higher than perfect condition. But two of them germinated.

Mar 2: Start
Mar 4: A little bit coming up from the cube
Mar 5: One baby opens the baby leaves. Potting into the soil
Mar 6 Another one coming into the air. But not opening the baby leaves yet. Potting into the soil.
I count the s from opening the seed package. Because it is one of the most exciting times. the germinating process is on week G. I bought two fabric pots. This is the first time I use it. I added perlite around 20% of the total medium. I was surprised to the water immediately dropped down from the pot compared with plastic pots. I bought a pot elevator for making good airflow at the bottom of the pots. Unfortunately, the legs have no holes. I make holes and water drain more easily.
Anyway, the first week is finished with excitement.

Mar 9: Watering 3 liters for both two pots.
Nothing bad happened to her this week. But I destroyed the pH meter. Hmm, stupid me. I am really surprised by the smart post with the pot elevator and perlite becoming dry very fast. Now I understand why some people say sometimes (once every two or three times) we need only pH-controlled water for ganja. Probably, the nutrients will be condensed in the soil.
I set the LED light to 50% light until now. And changed it 75% now.

March 13: Watering 2.5 liters for both.
I bought a new pH meter with calibration solutions. After calibration, I realized I made a solution with too low pH. I used the same amount of nutrients for both watering. Earlier, I used a broken pH meter (before this, already showed a strange value. After this perfectly broken, do not show the temperature). I use PLAGRON lemon kick to decrease pH. I used 0.8 ml and got pH 6.56. Now I use only 0.4 ml / l and got pH 6.4. I made too low pH and made a nutrition lock like a Ca def for one girl. Ahhhhhhh, stupid me!

March 18: Watering 2.5 liters each
March 23: Watering 2.5 liters each
This week, she stretched very well. New leaves are healthy and no trouble finally. I tried not to water, almost one week they had no trouble. And I watered after one week. But no run-off. The temperature is increasing day by day, soon they will drink more. I think not to do LST or some training until starts flowering. After it, I will cut big fun leaves most probably.
Log
March 30: Watering 2.5 liters each. No run-off.
This week is a big week. They stretch around 15 cm. Also, pre-flowers are coming. I think the flowering stage started in this week. I cut some big leaves to make lower branches take light more. After cutting, I started LST.
Log
March 3: Watering 2.5 liters each. No run-off.
March 6: Watering 4 liters each. Small run-off, but after one hour, it was absorbed by soil.
They stretched very well in the week. One was 27 cm last week. Now she is 54 cm. Every day, I need to lift the light.
My place is now ultra hot like an early summer. They drink water very well. I missed the watering timing, only one day, they got damage on the leaves shown in the pictures. Next week, temperature will be down in the forecast. I wish it will not the stress for them.
Log
April 10: 5 litter each, less run off.
This week, the temperature was decreased from over 30 to under 20. The drinking speed is a little bit slow. But they stretched again very well. It is so nice, but I wish they would stop to stretch more :)). Some lower leaves became light color and dropped. I will cut lower leaves and also big leaves whole regions of plants soon.

April 14: Watering 5 liters each
April 20: Watering 5 liters each
Some leaves become light color. pH is no problem, nutrition is enough or more than enough. I can think a light stress. I raise the light and make a distance of 40 cm between plants and the light.
Log
April 27: Watring 5 liters each.
They stopped to stretch and make buds bigger and bigger day by day. The temperature is nice. The humidity is a little bit high due to moving the grow tent to the bathroom.
Log
May 5: Watering 5 liters each
Now, the end is near. Almost all pistils are orange/brown. The buds are not becoming fat, but solid. I will check trichomes by using a microscope.
Log
May 7: 4 liters each
May 11: 4 liters each
The color of the trichome is almost milky now. I love the stone high. But I think auto-flower strains do not stop their life. The photoperiod strains stop drinking water and turn the color of trichomes number. But I have not seen such a thing on auto-flower strains. I plan to harvest two or three weeks later now. Just because I will go on vacation after that.

May 14: 4 liters each
May 18: 4 liters each
No trouble from them. The problem is I gave too much light. The taste is raw fresh and not cured taste. And high is good high with a little bit of couch locking. I expected more time to grow and get more body effects. But, due to my vacation, I stopped and harvested.
Empty with boveda: 1385.8g
Bottle 1: 1428.7 g = 42.9 g
Bottle 2: 1547.9 g = 162.1 g
Bottle 3: 1496.0 g = 110.2 g
Total 315.2 g
I also cut many popcorns and put them into freezer. I will make ice hashes soon.
Update
After one month of storing without open jars. The taste of it becoming so smooth. And very less pungent feeling, and a little bit of feeling of flowers. I really want to say this is one of my favorites. Now my home is super ultra extremely hot. Smoking this and eating hot spicy foods is only one way to survive this crazy summer.
Now I can not stop listening to this nice live show of massive attack. Dub, lo-fi, down beats with Apollo11 is the best!

I tried dry curing and I just turned off the light and no water for one and a half weeks. In my tent, two girls are not good. Next time, I will grow only one girl. Now I really do not need the yield, I just want to enjoy grow ganja.
