Easy grow for the most part. This strain had a very tropical/gassy smell to it.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

The girls are ready soon! Leaves of the Royal Gorilla are completely yellow, don't know why but I think it's because it's time to harvest. Take a look at the trichomes, I'm waiting for a few more amber ones. How many days should I let them live? (I have to harvest them all at once) ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▌My setup: ▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 ▌Lights: Selfmade 184W LED Panel w/ Samsung Q-Series Strips ▌Ventilation: Ventilution Mixed In-Line 145/187m³/h ▌Fan: Taifun FT-18 oscillating fan ▌Heating fan: Trotec TFC 1 E ▌Substrate: 50% BioBizz All-Mix & 50% Perlite (& BioTabs Starterbox) ▌Nutrients: BioTabs Starterbox & tapwater ▌Irrigation: AutoPot 4Pot System ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

8 WEEKS. YES, THATS A CATEPILLAR INSIDE THE TOP COLAR. I DIDN'T SPRAY BT THIS ROUND. SO I EXPECTED SOME CATEPILLARS PERHAPS MORE LITTLE ONES. WILL KNOW WHEN I CHOP AND DRY. ONCE YOU CHOP AND DRY. ALL THE CATEPILLARS WILL START TO FALL OFF THE PLANT. LIKE ESCAPING FROM THE PLANT. DANGLING DOWN W/ SILK. VERY INTERESTING. LOOKS RIPE TO CHOP. WILL CHOP END OF THIS WEEK. BEFORE CATEPILLARS EAT MORE BUDS.

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

The Blue Dream has recovered somewhat this week. The Moby Dick became more and more yellowish over the week, probably due to magnesium. I have uploaded some pictures of the leaves, perhaps someone might like to comment on their suspicions, without wanting to influence my guess. I don't know to what effect this will have on the harvest, but the buds continue to grow.

Pulled the orange cookie today and couldn’t be happier, the yield is massive, the buds are dense, fruity sweet , sticky and pungent. This plant is prolly my best so far thanks to Dutchfem for another awesome strain . If you’re looking for something special give this strain a try . I’ve smoked a bit of this already and it’s Girl Scout cookies all over then just like a pallet cleanser of citrus freshness that keeps you coming back fir more .

Great week with incredible growth. Responded very well to the topping and LST, just like their mother. Will continue with LST and some light HST until I'm satisfied with canopy coverage. Updates as the week goes. -8/18 - Further LST and some HST was used to try and spread the plants horizontally even more. -8/20 - Watering today, then a bit of HST. Growth is going well.

Fed with the above nutrients regiment. ▶️ Monday - 02.22.21 / Decided to change out the trellis net, the black one is great for support but not so much for creating an actual SCROG. ▶️ Tuesday - 02.23.21 / ok decided to go ahead and flip into flower, the new time will take effect tomorrow morning, the trellis is a little low, but think I can manage this, will be adding a second support trellis as soon as I see how these ladies perform, they are supposed to be heavy producers! ▶️ Wednesday - 02.24.21 / Fed with Advanced Nutrients, plants are starting to fill in trellis nicely! ▶️ Thursday - 02.25.21 / Fed with Advanced Nutrients, adjusted plants, and evened canopy up. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 📜 Cultivar Information - We have created this strain by crossing the best Black Domina available with Very Berry and our own Lost Coast OG Kush, this plant produces large colas with a super intense sweet berry flavor with a sweet-smelling aroma that varies from fruit and berries to sweet candy. This lady offers tight internal stacking giving a perfect structure for those super heavy colas, which is perfect for growth both indoors and out, if grown outside she is fairly resistant to mold and powdery mildew which is a real bonus with such large colas. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Finally in full flower mode. Ready to start putting on some serious size. I turned the lights up to 80% a couple days ago and they both are taking it well. No light burn yet that I notice. I'm not sure if I should start bringing the lights closer at 80% or keep the distance but instead Increase power to 90%. Going to feel it out as we go. Happy so far for sure. Update: increased light to 100% . No lead burns or weird looking leaves yet.. Just bulking up and very thirsty! Doing a nutrient/nutrient/water feeding schedule now.

Advanced Seeds Auto Strawberry Gum. Автоцветущая версия нашей Strawberry Gum. Она сохранила прекрасный клубничный аромат, а также высокую урожайность соцветий и смолы. С ее помощью вы достигнете церебрального и эйфорического эффекта, настолько приятного, что вы влюбитесь в нее. Это энергичное и неприхотливое растение с высоким содержанием терпенов. Бокс собран, немного переоборудован. В общем, что имеем: боксик размером где-то 50*60*120 см (Д*Ш*В). Сверху - технический отсек: таймер, блок питания от компа для вентиляторов на 12В (2 шт - на обдув, 1 - на вдув воздуха в бокс и 1 - на выдув через бипараболу), розетки, таймер, вентилятор канальник 100 мм на выдув. Терморегулятор и регулятор влажности - заказал на AliExpress - STC-3028. Для обогрева бокса в ночное время использую инфракрасный обогреватель Ballu BIH APL-0,6. Дроссель+ИЗУ+конденсатор от ДНаТа расположил вне тех отсека, чтобы не перегревать внутри. Освещение на вегу: 1 лампа ЭСЛ 105Вт 6500К. Освещение на цветение: ЭСЛ 105Вт+ лампа ДНаТ400. Гроу-румчик обклеен пенофолом, двери проклеены уплотнителем: горшок мешок на 20л, увлажнитель на 2,5 л. Земля - BioBizz All Mix 20 л, разбавил вермикулитом 2 л. Удобрения GHE: Flora Series Tripart (взял по 60 мл) + ProRoots + ProBloom + Fulvic + Rirpen тоже от GHE. Для регулировки pH воды: pH Down и pH Up от E-Mode. Пока на улице есть снег - топлю его и процеживаю. Полив - талой водой. 12.01 Закинул 2 семки в стакан с водой 13.01 Замачивание во влажном ватном диске. Вода - талый снег. Убрал в тумбочку в темное место. Ватный диск лежит на блюдце, блюдце в пакете. 14.01 Ждем пока семки прорастут на 0.5 - 1 см. 15.01 Посадка проросших семян в грунт. Предварительно пролил примерно 1.5 литра воды+0,3 мл Pro Roots от GHE, увлажнив сухую почву. Накрыл стаканчиками, опрыскиваю их внутри с пульвика талой водой. Температура - 21 градус. Свет в боксе первое время горит круглосуточно 24/0. 16.01 Утром первое семя проросло примерно на 1 см, я помог снять каску. Опрыскал с пульвика. Вечером проросло и 2е семечко. Расстояние от лапмпы до растения - 12 см 17.01 С утра снял защитные саканчики. Вечером пришел терморегулятор и регулятор влажности, установил. 18.01 Установил обогреватель напротив бокса. Он работает по датчику - установил температуру - 22-23 градуса. Опрыскиваю из пульверизатора талой водой. Завтра придет увлажнитель. Установил датчик на 50-60%. 19.01 С сегодняшнего дня начинаю отсчет веги и устанавлю таймер на 20/4. 20.01 Полив талой водой 0.5 л + pro roots 0,1 мл 21.01 Опрыскиваю с пульвика талой водой. 22.01 Опрыскиваю с пульвика талой водой. 23.01 Полив талой водой 0.5 л + pro roots 0,1 мл 24.01 Развел 0,5 л талой воды с pro roots 0.1 мл и дал по листу 25.01 Дал по листу pro roots Первая неделя завершена. Растем и развиваемся =) С завтрашнего дня перевожу таймер на 18/6

Week went again very uneventful, she is not very hungry anymore and had to constantly refill the reservoir with water to keep the ec in check. Trichomes are all cloudy and start to turn amber. She has developed that amazing purple hue and is sticky to the max, so definitely showing her glue heritable ;) I will continue to feed her until Wednesday this week and then start the flushing and darkness. Harvest will be next week end.
