Preparing to yank out top shelf and rejig things. I can only gain 4” but it will be needed as this thing is running hard. Closer than 8-10” to the LED light, and she WILL get cooked! Next Gen grow box gains almost 8” in height with same dimensions, so problem solved. I may have to cut CO2 until stretch is over or just cut altogether. I got a close eye in her. Day 44: She's looking good, and stretching at a rate of 2"/day in her tin can. I did a light defoliation and cleaned up training wires. I'll leave her be from here on out; less some selective defoliation to keep sites open. I cut CO2 (which would have been helpful a bit earlier), and may turn back on at the end of week 8, time will tell. Day 46: She looks like she is 4+ days behind when compared to the other 4 autos I have grown. She will either catch up, take longer to mature, or I'm screwed because of the heavy defol. Flower development seems slow/odd. 10pm and she’s now 22” tall and too close to the light. Flower productivity accelerating for sure. Maybe she will just catch up, and finish late? Bummer I had this one in quarantine. Day 48: leave symptoms developed further into dark rust spots very suspect to a calcium deficiency. I flushed for a few hours, cut Gro out all together and bumped Micro and Bloom. Increased CalMag from .8ml to 1.5 ml/gallon. Now observing. Day 49: Another day or two will tell but it feels like the deficiency is slowing as the progression on day 47-48 was an hour by hour progression. Throughout the week, and almost everyday, I have taken a dozen or so leaves throughout the canopy and the undergrowth. One day I defoliated her pretty good, but not super heavy. Massive leaf production and has crowded the plant/bud sites out in a matter of a day or two. Day 52: Looks like calcium or possibly potassium deficiency back in check. Newer leaves look good and no progression on older leaves.

Hey growers! Another week down and everything’s running smoothly. The plants look happy, growing nicely, and smelling amazing. They handled the defoliation without any problems and keep growing strong. I also added another oscillating fan on the floor to keep the air moving well. Peace and happy growing! ✌

Greetings, fellow cultivators and enthusiasts of the green realm! Week 7 of our Apolo F1's botanical odyssey has unfolded with a sense of urgency, as she races towards harvest with astonishing speed. Join me as we delve into the world of autoflowers, where time bends and nature's clock reigns supreme. In the realm of autoflowers, time moves like a river, swift and unyielding. Our Apolo F1 is a testament to this enchanting phenomenon, progressing at a pace that defies expectations. With each passing day, she inches closer to her moment of glory, a testament to the genetic marvel that is the autoflower. The floral symphony reaches a crescendo as our green virtuoso enters the later stages of flowering. Buds swell and mature with remarkable speed, painting the canopy in hues of green and gold. It's a sight to behold, a testament to the accelerated growth and vitality inherent in autoflowers. Despite the rapid pace, we remain vigilant, knowing that nature's timing is the ultimate arbiter. While our Apolo F1 may be racing towards harvest, we must respect her journey and allow her to dictate the pace. The moon on harvest day beckons, but patience is the virtue that will ensure a truly celestial yield. As we marvel at the accelerated growth and breathtaking beauty of our Apolo F1, it's worth reflecting on the brilliance of autoflowers. These genetic marvels have revolutionized cultivation, offering a streamlined experience without sacrificing yield or quality. It's a testament to the ingenuity of nature and the boundless possibilities of genetic engineering. Amidst the whirlwind of growth, the nutrient-rich serenade persists. The transition from veg to flower mix continues to fuel our green companion's journey, ensuring she has all the nourishment needed to reach her full potential. The aqueous symphony plays on, a constant companion in this botanical adventure. A heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fuels our green odyssey, and to Royal Queen Seeds for providing the genetic star of our celestial spectacle. The journey thus far has been nothing short of magical, and we continue to marvel at the wonders of nature's timekeeper. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the final sprint towards harvest and celebrate the culmination of this extraordinary journey. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever blessed by the magic of autoflowers!

Die letzten Wochen vor der Ernte waren echt noch ein auf und ab der GefĂŒhle. Das Wetter, sehr feucht und kalt, hat es mir leider echt schwer gemacht. Budrod in einer Cola der Pineapple Express 😼‍💹 Die Cola stand deutlich im Windschatten, deshalb hoffe ich, dass sich der Pilz nur in dem Mikroklima ausbreiten konnten, die Sporen sind aber leider ĂŒberall. Jetzt hĂ€ngt alles zum trocknen und ich muss die Buds genau untersuchen, spĂ€ter bei trimmen werde ich ganz genau jeden Bud mir von Innen anschauen. Außerdem ist mir die Lemon Orange deutlich abgekackt. Die krasse GeldfĂ€rbung kam innerhalb von zwei Tagen. Ich glaube es hat mit einer trockenen Phase mit hĂ€ngenden BlĂ€ttern kurz zuvor zutun, in der ich 1-2 Tage zu spĂ€t gegossen habe. Hat das Bodenleben wohl garnicht verkraftet und ist gekippt. Trotzdem hat sie einen echt intensiven sĂŒĂŸlich Zitronenduft. Klein aber fein wĂŒrd ich zu meinen Buds sagen. Update nach dem ersten Tasting. Mein absoluter Favorit aus dem Grow. Geschmacklich sanft wie der Duft, liegt mir total. Werde sie aufjedenfall wieder growen.

Harvested after 3 days flush and two days night after recommended 9 weeks. Got 2 phenos. One better and more representative of the strain description which i kept a clone of to S1 and stabilize. As usual uploading here is a pita it didnt upload my videos again really annoying, but pics show the better strain is stronger bramches, stretchier, and better buds. I cut them in the video so no one cries i didnt harvest lol. Smell is from sourish sweet to sweet and mossy like a green slurpy or something. 6 week testers were potent and frosty already so i cant imagine after proper harvest and cure.

Man what a busy week. I left for a small vacation with the family and left the plants in the care of someone and luckly everything is still alive lol. Then today I almost forgot to post my weekly diary because I was busy build my new grow office and moving all the equipment in. The room I built is where all the plants well eventually end up ones my coco and perlite arrive. The runtz themselves are both doing really good and haven't slowed down much after topping them. Roots are starting to reach the bottom of the 1 gal pots so hopefully I can transplant them I to the autopot system soon. Well happy growing!!!

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

King tut is foxtailing, I had two hours where the temps got to 90 in the tent three days in a row. I've seen some others mention foxtailing on king tut in general. With the ROI-E680 a few people complained about foxtailing on the first couple grows. I turned the light down to 60% from 80 and the dehumidifier set on low so it would stop spiking the tent temp and keep the humidity in the 50s as best I can. Fingers crossed!

EC: 0.4 Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.4 Defoliated both plants and attached some shoots to the rack. She got really big fan leaves! I also supercropped some branches. 20-3 Temps: 18.2 to 22.8 degrees Humidity: 59% to 69% 21-3 Temps: 18.5 to 23.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. 22-3 Temps: 19.4 to 24.1 degrees Humidity: 55% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. Set the strength of the light to 50% 23-3 Temps: 19.8 to 24.8 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. As you can see, instead of removing the leaves, i tucked down all the leaves to open up the canopy. I will see if i like this method as its the first time i try this. I also attached some more shoots to the rack, its looking nicely spread out now :) The #2 makes my fingers very sticky and smells really strong! I love it!

I love sativa. This is a great freaking plant. Long skinny buds (a little squeezed by me :) and the smell is incredible (strong put in jar open 5 min later my house smells strong) its sweet from the haze but it's got that gassy fuel smell to it also with a tiny bit of earthy after aroma. It's wonderful smokes great gets me higher than any weed at the stores and I never have coughed from it I don't think it's so smooth. Organically grown buds are fckin smooooothh man I never would have understood until I grew organic! This bud is the tits I'm stoned off a mix of blueberry amnesia haze northern ligbt joint as I write this lmao good harvest

Overall good week finally setup my double trellis net, I hate it because my room so small and I have to crawl all around to get anything done. Plants were looking good a few branches which are completely unnoticeable looked like they suffer from nutrient burn. Beside that we taking off. I’m expecting some significant changes in the coming weeks.

Week 11 - 05/24 - 05/30 Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED Temperature - 76 +/-3 Humidity - 50 +/-5 D25 Flower - Came back from a long weekend away to some nice growth! Watered with nutrients and tucked some of the larger leaves. Took some measurements since the two strains are growing different. D28 Flower - The clones have stretched a little bit more but for the most part, I think they are done stretching. Buds are forming nicely and starting to produce a sweet smell! Royal Gorilla SCROG - 20-22 inch Clones in Airpots - 24-25 inch

Week 12, Day 83 from seed and 3rd day of flower.....The 5 day of this week officially marked the start of the flowering season!! So I flushed both of these bad boys with ph'd water for two days and then today I switched them to 12/12. I gave them their first dose of bloom nutrients and then lollipoped them as you can see, pixs . Grateful no issues to report for the past 3 weeks have been trouble-free!! I'm going to leave the MH bulb in for an additional 2 weeks to prevent any stretching before switching to the HPS. But so far they are still loving their environment. I'm also in the process of keeping clones of fat banana and hulkberry while i try this new strain of Peanut Butter Tree.

The strain is really good. I harvested it when the trichomes were milky and it had a very energizing and uplifting effect. I'll definitely grow it again now with better care and the knowledge I've gained. I harvested around 20 grams dry.
