DAY 21: Hi Grow diaries Fam. Hope everyones week has gone good and your greens are deep and fed. It had been a steady week in veg for the fast buds fun crew The Fc3000 is really feeding them some great full spectrum Ray's that are really being utilised by the big leaved ladies forming now . I have continued using the tip spreading method to show how well it can reduce the plants overall height but to also show how it can save energy on stalk building to focus on growing tips. The end result pre flowering stretch is very easy to manage plants that I can hopefully grow buds on instead of lots of limbs and pointless leaf. The stretch period will be very helpful in building the individual colas and helping them to find their own space to grow fatt and chunky hopefully One of the six shooters has already begun to show her female hairs quite a abundantly soni dont thinknthey will be in veg much longer besides the smaller Mexican airline , shenjas fought back so well now but is still behind the others in her growth so o expect her to flower a little later than the rest. The spoil is delivering plenty of nutrition tonal of the ladies sp far with no signs of fade in any of the plants and lots of green growth. Some of the leaves are a great size and will be absorbing so much of this amazing spectrum in the coming weeks that I expect we will have some patties soon enough. Be well growmies. Video can explain better. Lol UPDATE ... Tip spreading has worked really well so far with the girls stating nice and squat. The amount of growing tips that have been stacked up in such a small main stem should make a nice finish

It was easy to harvest she was very small jut cut it quickly without stalks the wet weight is 17 g of the buds, nicely coated with THC and it was approx 70% milky and 40% amber trichomes. Hopefully good time to be harvested. This site has changed can not update and edit the comment section. The smoke is nice it is kind of relax and strong high. Not the best but not bad at all. I like it.

Day 64 🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 11-19 degrees and the humidity is around 65%. I started into the tenth week with an intense check of the main buds. Some of the trichomes are milky but the most are still clear. Maybe I‘m wrong. Some days ago I could spot some amber trichomes but the flowers expanded and it‘s not possible to find anymore amber ones. Watered 500ml pure rainwater. Day 65 🌤️☁️🌥️☁️ Today Tropicana needs a rest. She just want to sit and do nothing except waiting for sunshine warming her heart. In the evening she asked for water, potting soil lost enough weight. 600ml with 60ml light fermented flower and herb tee. ~100 ml drainage with PH 6,2. In the main flower it was possible to find a small amount of amber trichomes. Day 66 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-21 degrees, humidity 45-65%. This morning I understood, that Tropicana was not thirsty yesterday, she need to breath oxygen with her roots to feel happy. The beautiful smell is way not so intense since last night. I missed the strong smell when I opened the door to our balcony in the early morning. So no watering yesterday would be better. And my banana peel tee is not free of nitrogen, same with the herb and flower tee. Less is more will be written in my diary in the next days (weeks). Watching Trichome TV: I see more amber and I see that she needs more time after all this stress which I made for her. She told me that she is not only sick of water, she told me, that she hate to be moved all the time, too. Every move from A to B she would loose tiny roots and this would stress her a lot. When I checked the moisture I spotted too many of this root fly castings. Their mamas and papas had their orgie about a week ago and now they are eating the mulch layer roots as if there will be no morning. This is not Tropicanas day. But the sun is shining and tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully with a nose full of this tasty fruity and woody citrus smell. Day 67 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-19 degrees, humidity 42-80%. This morning the smell was more intensive like yesterday but still not like before. The leafs show the first signs of fading and I‘m very nervous. This night will fall a lot of rain for several hours. But a part of our balcony is canopied, so Tropicana will be a little bit protected by me this night. I don‘t want to make another mistake, so I use this possibility. Anyway the plants are always wet after a strong rain, it‘s just a little canopy, but not soaked with water. Day 68 🌧️☁️⛅️🌤️ 15-21 degrees and the humidity is 74-85%. Tropicana feels better. The smell this morning was much more intensive then the days before. Day 69 ⛅️🌤️🌥️☁️ 15-22 degrees, humidity 46-89%. Tropicanas flowers are swelling and while she is maturing her smell is getting more intense and complex. Right now mandarin and an earthy woody smell, sometimes even a bit sour like a mixture of pineapple and lime juice. It‘s possible to find new colors in the flowers. There’s purple and pink, orange and ocher brown appeared. Tropicanas main flower looks like the harvest time is near, but the trichomes are still clear and just started to get milky. Anyway she is incredible fast, especially if to remember the extrem conditions with minimal temperature around ten degrees in the early mornings. Day 70 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 17-23 degrees, humidity 63-94%. In the next days we will have humid thunderstorm weather. There is even a warning for huge hailstones for tomorrow. So there is a risk of damage and mold because of high humidity. I will have an eye on this. Tropicana looks healthy, so I‘m not worrying too much anymore.

Have a dream about mold That’s the reason why I chopped her But only 3 days earlier 😅🙈

Phew! She's growing with insane vigor!! She was watered with a 2.5 gallon dosage of de-chlorinated tap water today! The previous 1.5 Gallon dosage was "only"(lol) lasting for 3 days before becoming 90% dry, so I've gone up to max dosage! 2.5 Gallons caused 15% of that water to run-off, out of the bottom of the pot. She will likely dry to 90% again, and be ready for another dosage in 5 days! I'm extremely excited to defoliate her, she's testing my patients! :)

It's HUGE! first time ever i have an autoflower that big and heavy!!! Seems like NFT works really well on autos.

Friday, September 25, 2020 Chopped to dry in closet. No trimming needed Wednesday, September 30, 2020 Trimmed and jarred. Very little trimmings were thrown away. My first indoor grow was a success! I don't have the largest tent so it was nice to keep it short. Not the biggest yield in the world but it was a fun experience. My only regret is not watering or feeding it enough. I'm main-lining my other auto grows so we'll see how those do. Thanks! -JTGROW

Day 21. Mild dose of general Hydroponics maxigro every other watering. Watering each time slowly til 10-15% runoff. LST and HST daily. Removing 1 or 2 leaves per day to open her up. Day 24. Lowered light to try and boost growth.

Great flowers with beautiful colors! Smells of sweet oranges and grapefruit sour grape woody spicy chem aromas and tastes of earthy sweetness with a hint of citrus.

Hey guys, Plants still stretching hopefully it will stop very soon, for a indica they do stretch an awful lot, smell is increasing now like a strange ammonia dank kind of smell, flowering is well u underway done my final Lollipoping yesterday so no plants on full autopilot mode until they are done 👍 see you all next week 💚🌱🌴🙏

Fo' Twenny Back with another update on our Orange Sherbert from Barney's Farm! She is looking really good this week. She did start to show some deficiencies after flushing Friday 8/28. Otherwise she looks super healthy with leaves "praying" to the canna-gods! Now, on with the deets! LIGHTING: Increased lighting at dimmer last week with good results. Was about 70k LUX on average @ Canopy. Turning it up a bit more this week. 8 Outer Boards @ 665.5w 6 Inner Boards @ 601w LUX APP MAXES OUT READING 78750 LUX @ Canopy. Lets hope its not too much! RHIZOSPHERE: If you didn't tune into the last update, I had just flushed pots due to high PPM runoff. pH of runoff was at 6.3. PPM and pH are tested using 2 separate calibrated BlueLab meters.

Greetings, fellow cultivators and celestial gardeners! Week 6 marks a cosmic milestone in our Apolo F1's journey, as she gracefully enters her second week of flowering. Join me in this week's botanical odyssey, where our green companion ventured to the moon, and we unleashed the floral symphony in spectacular fashion. Our Apolo F1 reached for the stars this week, prompting a decision to release her from the supportive wires that once guided her dance. Like a lunar explorer exploring newfound terrain, she responded with an astounding display of growth. The shackles are off, and our green companion is free to unfurl her celestial beauty. As we embark on the second week of flowering, the floral symphony is unveiled in all its glory. Buds are forming and growing, a testament to the vibrant energy our Apolo F1 gathered during her lunar sojourn. Each petal, a note in this harmonious botanical composition. In this week's horticultural performance, a new player graces the stage. Aptus Holland Topbooster joins the nutrient ensemble, replacing the Startbooster. This strategic move is a testament to the rich soil we've crafted, teeming with vitality. The botanical orchestra is now playing a new melody, and our green virtuoso is responding with grace. The nutrient-rich serenade with a TDS of 420 ppm and a pH of 6.3. The transition from the last veg mix water to the flower mix, coupled with the addition of Topbooster, ensures our Apolo F1 is receiving the tailored nourishment needed for this stage of her celestial bloom. A heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the orchestrators of this botanical symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for providing the stellar genetic star of our green opera. The journey to the moon and back has been nothing short of magical, and we're just getting started! Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the continued celestial bloom and the unfolding drama of a truly lunar harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever cosmic! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

10/29/19 - All is going good. The stretch always amazes me on how fast they grow! Watering 4 cups of water each plant every three days. I did not switch to 13/11 yet. I will do that the last few weeks. I moved the lights up to compensate for the stretch so lets see what that does. 10/31/19 - Moved the one that is not flourishing from the net to the side. The other are rocking the house!!! Did a bunch or rearranging and LST in the net. Should be set this week to leave it all alone. I also did a bunch of defoliation. Too bad I was not going to clone this strain anymore, cause there was some great cuttings. 👌
