Sorry, have only this photo availabe on that period, found out your site when it was on week 4 already :)
So i did germinate them through the spongepots and on the third day i transplanted them into pots. (the spongepots showed very excellent result - i definitely recommend them for germination)
They showed a really rapid grow and i started to give them nutrients around day 7 maybe in very little dosages.
So after i put them in pots, they showed a really rapid and good growth, even though a couple time i forgot to use nutrients and used just water.
Actually i did use nutrients just a couple times in first 2.5 weeks .
Sorry for the photo again, just needed to put smth to write down the week for you :)
Sooo they kept showing a very good growth results without so much nutriments attached ( my fault actually, i think if i used them more often, they would grow even faster) .
Was having some leave issues (yellow dots) , but it was gone in a couple days.
also they were bent upwards ( you can see on the photo ) and it was because of heat and the temperature i suppose, now is gone.
Day 27. TIME FOR NORMAL PHOTOS :))
I did a little defoliation for my girls today, got rid of couple down branches and fan leaves, but didn't overdo , didn't want to stress them too much, also it was my first time doing this technique.
Most of flowers are very healthy and growing well, despite of high temperature in the day reaching 28-29 degrees ( the reason is i put some more HID lamp)
Short sum-up:
They do smell pretty strong already and i actually don't know which strain exactly it is.
Royal Cookies- all are growing very strong and healthy , excellent genetics along with the Gorilla.
Royal Gorilla - same, very massive plants with narrow leaves looks very specific.
Zkittlez- damn this girls are real opening for me, very many branches with buds, seems to be very potent and decent. will see
Dark Devil - they are doing quite well, except of one of them, he's having very hard issues with leaves and i don't know what's wrong with him actually.
Northern Lights- can't say nothing about them yet. I have a couple very big and healthy plants, some normal and a very-very tiny one, very weak and i think it's about roots, because the pot is really heavy even 1 day after watering and water don't go through.
Alright, now all the girls are in flowering stage and they are doing quite well. Would like to mention again very strong genetics of gorilla,cookies and zkittlez. Wow, they are really showing incredible growth and all the plants are healthy and even has any yellow leaves. They are very resistant to warm temperature ( 28-29 ).
I started using the connoiseur bloom AB and bud candy, and planning to add some of Tarantula/Piranha/Voodo Juice on the 5-6 week and also the Bud Ignitor ( all - Advanced Nutrients). Will see how it works, maybe i will use different combo's for different flowers to analyze which nutrient is better to combine.
Two of 6 Dark Devil's branches and leaves started to get covered by purple color,looking quite unusual.
The Northern Lights are still a mystery for me. Different height, different growth pace, different amount of branches with buds.
I don't have that kind of issues with other 4 strains, all of them ( gorilla,cookies,dark devil,zkittlez) are exactly THE SAME height, showing the same growth pace and all of them are strong and healthy.
Also among 15 seeds of NL i got only 11 germinated properly :( bad statistics. Hope Gorilla and Cookies will work for.
Alright , my question is - should I lollypop or defoliate them in flowering stage? When should I begin to get rid of fan leaves ? On which week?
And are there any other techniques/trainings for them on flower stage/ late flower stage?
Thanks :)
Growing auto's I try to avoid taking off too many leafs. Just get rid of the ones blocking the light for your buds.
And next time maybe try lst. I just pull down my plant so the light hits every part of my plant. It makes all cola's grow more even and gives a lower but more bushy plant. If you want to see what I Mean just have a look at my easy buds or mistery seed diary.
Man to be honest with you despite how i am in love with defoliation, but you dont need it. For such small plants lolitop is not needed, but i would vote for that if i could see all you plant. Dark devil dont need no harm, just love.... ;)))
Look at my diary flower week 3. I had to defoliate, you can see theirs recovery photos aswell.
What worries me is your taco leaves. Quess your light is too close ...
I think doing a slight defoliation this early in flowering could be good and channeling energy to the budsites. And then i would defoliate a few weeks after flowering and then lollipop after the boost of flowering growth. Perhaps about week 7-8 for the 2nd defo. Happy growing
So most of them keep on showing very good growth and potency,buds are fatenning and white pistols keep on appearing.
Some of dark devils are really turning purple as you can see on the photo, looks incredible in life.
Actually,I am facing issues with humidity, balancing between 30 and 40% ,but i think it's because of temperature. Still can't cool it down :(
They eat very well and reacts pretty good on that huge amounts of nutrients.
I start to get rid of big fan leaves/some yellow leaves below. Think i will lollipop her in a week or so.
What can I say- this girls are sooo healthy and have very strong resistance.
Most of them buds are already frosty and beginning to become dense.
Gorilla and the Devil are really impressive, those buds looking soooo damn good!
1 of the Cookies is really - really weak and he still didn't go over the flowering stage, i don't know why. All others are great.
Every 5± days from week 5 I suppose I get rid of below leaves and big fan leaves,which don't let the light get to the bottom buds,as was recommended in comments. They react good on that kind of stress and the bottom buds started developing too.
Despite the high temperature( 28-30 degrees) they keep on growing and forming buds,happily.

The buds are fattening and getting covered with trichomes very well, most of them are healthy and flowering at the same stage, orange pistols are already popping out, thinking about harvesting in a week or some.
Hi guys, I'm actually new in growing and this is my second grow.
And I've decided to have some sort of experiment and grow different strains with average same period and find out what they worth for. And what do I worth for as a grower :))
Would be happy to hear your advices, remarks and critics!
Dense and tasty buds for yall! 💪💪💪
@parachute, Then there may be some problem with the soil. Fungi or excess nutrients may be some reasons I think. Try doing a roots flush.
Sweet smokes!
-Apolo.
@Sweet_Seeds, yes, of course i let it dry, I do water them at the same time 1 time a day.
And while other more healthy and large plants soil is dry already and I see that it's ready to be watered, the weak one I've written about is still very wet and the pot is heavy :( and the problem exists for like couple weeks already
All your ladies looking great, but the color on that first one is incredible! Beautiful work! Keep doing what your doing and best of luck the rest of the way.
Why do auto ?? For 6 hours less electric & A longer vegging time with your skills ??
You'd surpass the 600 Gram mark easily with 4 decent photo-periods !! Huge buds
Or popcorn ?? Your choice but 2 to 4 weeks extra vegging ?? !!!! HUGE KOLER'S !!!!
