Both popped after 36 hours, then put in soil - they popped out of the soil in less than 24 hours - literally none of my seeds (probably germinated 10 seeds) have failed in intratuin soil, it's amazing. Since i'll be transplanting in a few days anyway, i put them together in a 5L pot. made sure to get a good amount of water in the bottom 2/3 of the soil so the roots have something to reach for. Now they're "under" (more to the side lol) my 45W LED, which seems to have worked for other seedlings. 16/8 light schedule, need my sleep

This week I have been steering vegetatively. Less stress on the plants to increase the weight on the buds. Watering is done very often and the plants are drinking a lot. EC lowered to 3.0 and the VPD has been reduced which means higher humidity than usual. The buds are getting bigger and I’m seeing a slight shade of dark purple on the bud!

Another week and the root growth is letting me know we're close to transplant time, which is a good timing with my tent getting ready for a new cycle. I pulled a few lower leaves off her to keep that energy pushing up to the top. Based on the leaves, she appears to lean to the OGKB in her lineage, so this should be a nice candidate for a scrog to get the most of the business of the strain. The hardiness of this seedling is definitely a testament to the breeders efforts in offering quality feminized genetics. Check them out on Strainly or see their site for their other offerings.

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Day 43 The flush started on Day 40, and I’ll likely carry it through until Day 50–52, aligning with the expected harvest window for Kong’s Krush. The 7 Kong’s Krush girls are right on track – trichomes are clouding up nicely, and they’re clearly approaching harvest maturity. On the other hand, my 24K Runtz is still lagging behind. Trichomes show it’s not fully ready yet, but since I need everything to dry together and reset the bloom space, I’ll harvest both strains on the same day. Lesson learned: mixing strains with different flowering timelines in the same run can complicate the schedule. Smells are intense now – the Kong’s Krush carries a sweet banana-cinnamon vibe, while the 24K Runtz is pushing a strong, sharp orange scent. The room is really fragrant these days!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 5 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with the promise of blooms as she gracefully transitions into the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase. Join me as we continue this botanical saga, witnessing the emergence of blossoms, the transformation into a lush green bush, and the strategic shift from last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The botanical ballet of bending and shaping persists, guiding our Apolo F1 into a beautifully orchestrated dance of controlled chaos. Every leaf and branch is a stroke on the canvas of growth, creating a masterpiece that reflects both elegance and efficiency. The green virtuoso is not just growing; she's evolving into a captivating bush of vitality. As she enters the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase, the first signs of blooms are beginning to grace our Apolo F1. It's like witnessing the unveiling of nature's artistry, as tiny buds emerge, promising a bounty of blossoms in the weeks to come. The anticipation is as exciting as the first notes of a symphony! The bold decision to top our flourishing Apolo F1 is revealing its impact. Multiple colas are forming, creating a lush and bushy canopy. This strategic haircut is paying dividends as our green virtuoso prepares to showcase a rich and complex performance. It's a testament to the power of calculated risks in the art of cultivation. Amidst the botanical crescendo, a shift in the aqueous symphony is underway. This week marks the transition from the last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The nutrient-rich serenade continues, with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 receives the specific nourishment needed for the impending floral spectacle. With each passing day, the moon on harvest day beckons. Our green companion is on the trajectory to a bountiful harvest, and this journey is not just hers; it's a celebration for flowering girls around the world. Each bud, a testament to the collective magic of cultivation. As we marvel at the unfolding blooms and the lush greenery, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for the botanical star of our green opera. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the crescendo of blossoms and the anticipation of the moonlit harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever abundant!

Tag 82: Hab mich nun doch entschieden , da die Trichome wirklich zu 90% Milchig sind , die Dame am Stamm abzuhacken . (Extra ein kleines Beil gekauft (scherz)) . Dann im Stück einfach Kopfüber . Abluft ist an , Ventilator unter der Spitze . Jetzt noch 4-5 Tage warten (je nach Temp und Feuchte) . Und dann schauen wir mal was es wird .Für mich wichtig , viel Feuchtigkeit im Raum , ich will das sie auch nach dem Trocknen noch kleben . Ergo hab ich den Stoftopf drinne stehen gelassen . Tag 82-88: Kopfübertrocknung + Temperatur : 21°C - 23°C) + Lüftfeuchtigkeit : 52%rH-60%rH + VPD kleiner gleich 1.2 + 4 bis 5 Tage Ich versuche maximal einen VPD von 1.2 zu halten für ca 4-5 Tage. Tag 85: Ein Video hinzugefühgt wo ihr das Trockenzelt sehen könnt. Die LED hab ich genau unter der Abluft angebracht damit kein einseitiger Luftzug entsteht, dafür mit mehr Power . Tag 86: Video von der Kopfüberhängenden hinzugefühgt. Tag 88: 5 Tage lang getrocknet , Blüten vom Stiel getrennt und in Schalen in den Weinkühlschrank mit Silikatgel für die Feuchteregelung. Tag 90: Trichome aufgenommen. CureBoxen geschlossen nach 2 Tagen im Weinkühler Next Step: Bouveda 58% , Sauerstoffabsorbierer

Double Smile #1 was harvested on the 23/09/2022, her trichomes were 10% amber and the rest were milky. She had faded out a deep dark red/purple and was coated in a layer of thick frost. She’s currently drying out at 58%RH - 17*C. Chopped off the main fan leaves, but left everything else on for hopefully a slower dry. Double Smile #2 is still maturing, il keep my eye on her, she could potentially have a few weeks left. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

A drip irrigation system was installed on Sunday for improved efficiency. Temps held steady at 27–28°C (day) and 25–26°C (night), humidity ranged from 58–63%, and VPD stayed between 1.2–1.3. Soil EC was consistent at 1.3–1.4 mS/cm, and soil water content hovered around 19–22%. Lights were mostly at 90% @ 25cm (briefly 100% on Thursday), delivering a steady 900 μmol/m²/s PPFD, with CO₂ at 480–500 ppm. Some CalMag deficiency persisted, with 1.5x the usual dose applied, and one plant was over-defoliated but is being monitored with no worsening issues. Lessons: Consistency Pays Off: Stable environmental stats and regular watering kept plants thriving. 🌿 Defoliation Caution: Over-defoliation on one plant was a misstep; monitor its recovery closely. ✂️ CalMag Needs Attention: Persistent deficiency suggests further tweaks may be needed. Irrigation Upgrade: The new drip system should streamline watering—watch its impact. 💧 Takeaway: A mostly smooth week with stable conditions and proactive care. Keep an eye on the over-defoliated plant and CalMag levels while fine-tuning the new irrigation system. Steady progress with room for vigilance! 🚀

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 💪💪. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 😍😋 Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 👌 Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 😉😁💚 FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water..
