This week consists of July 23, 2022 thru July 29, 2022 - Seeds were planted on May 27th, 2022 and they all sprouted on May 31st, 2022 (~4 days) Continued on schedule of 2 times do feed and then one water with only PH'd water. LIGHTS: I'm running the lights on an 18-6 schedule. I have the dark time scheduled from 11am to 5pm since the lights increase temperature and during that time the outside temperature is at its highest so it seems to be easier to maintain proper temperature ranges with the light off during that period. Swapped out the metal halide bulb to the high pressure sodium on July 6th since the plants have been in flower. WATER: July 23rd: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 0 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 25th: ~1200 ml of 6.1 PH and oxygenated water July 27th: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 0 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 29th: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag TEMP/HUMIDITY: A max of 90.0F and a min of 62.8F with an average of 78.8F. VPD was harder to maintain this week since it was in the high 80s and low 90s outside with the average being around 1.59. Whole week numbers> Temp - 78.8F avg - 62.8F min - 90.0F max Humidity - 52.7% avg - 21.0% min - 83% max VPD - 1.59 avg - 0.40 min - 3.20 max CO2: Floating ball is between .5 and 1. This lets a more gradual amount of CO2 to enter the tent and I now get a more stable level of CO2 that fluctuates between around 1000 ppm and 1300 ppm. The regulator is still plugged into the same outlet as the lights so it turns off on the same light/dark schedule. PAR: PPFD between 300-1500. The tops of some plants are getting the 1200-1400 range and some side leaves are getting in the 400-700 range. ISSUES: Nothing new. TECHNIQUES: I implemented some minor defoliation on some of the affected leaves and some leaf tucking.

I loved it. Grew some really nice buds, produced an amazing smell that filled the room once I opened my tent. The buds are really sticky, trichomes looked amazing they were about 75% cloudy when I cut her down.

Unos días antes de mandar a flora hiciamos las últimas podas de bajos y apicales la dejamos recuperarse unos días y hicimos el último trasplante a 10 litros , con eso ya listo empezamos con los nutrientes de preflora , hicimos unos riegos foliares 15 días antes de mandar a flora , el mismo día q mandamos a flora y lo tenemos que hacer 15 días después de mandar a flora , con esto ya estamos más que bien para las primeras semanas de floración después de la segunda semana vamos a empezar a fertilizar con guano de murciélago y unas cucharaditas de melaza , después ya con el engorde , pero para eso faltan unas semanas , ahora vamos a ir viendo como le va en sus primeras semanas de floración

i run in a bit calmag defiency i dont know why, my only guess is overwatering, other plant (tangiematic) didnt have this problem with same feeding. maybe the light was too close and burned a bit faster trough the calmag as it has 2.75 par.

I have started flushing with pH-adjusted Flawless Finish solution, expecting to harvest somewhere around the end of this week, although I will continue monitoring pistils and trichs. Upd: Added back 50% base nutrients and some flowering additives after researching some of the first responses to my flushing question. I learn every day. Even that which was scientifically proven true one day, might be even more scientifically proven absolutely false some time later (not related to flushing specifically). Thank you kings! Upd 2: Okay okay I cooked her with some cosmic rays or whatever those Chinese quantum bars emit — purple rays, I'll call it — that's on me. Turned them 30% down to see what's up. Light burn was not on my mind, because otherwise the leaves were not really curving that much, considering that this is 3 weeks overdue wrt advertised. Sorry about that, did not pay enough attention.

Besides her twiggy stature, she’s a good high, very fruity in scent, feed back from a friend, after smoking a joint he felt mellow, he loved that it’s not harsh on the throat, very smooth, and for a person who smokes weed with tobacco, he finds himself smoking clean green when smoking it. I forgot to create a questionnaire, but with the new cycle that will be prioritised. I cannot take his opinion as the gospel truth, I need more feedback.

Divine Seeds Auto Contest Candy Outside Grow 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W10 F6 8/3-9 I wish I could share this week’s weather with you. It was sunny and comfortable in the 70-80s with 50% humidity. This means that whatever the temperature is, the air feels like it, not 10-15 degrees hotter. My Auto Candy is a tall lady and has good node spacing so there is space for air flow. When I went outside this afternoon, the sun was hitting the main stalk, and she was shimmering. Looking at the bud structure, the leaves are more spread out than the other outside gals with minimal sugar leaves. So far, she is easy to grow and resistant to fungus and pests. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Day 30 - Zero stress noticed since the last strip and top. Her leaves are green and healthy, and she has given me no complaints post trimming! Day 32 - Checking out her top sites, she's looking really good! Another day or two I'll start training the branches out and top them each one more time. Her fan leaves are huge and gorgeous! 😍 Day 33 - Introduced some handcuffs to the game. 😉 As the two branches on each side begin to grow out, I want to guide them horizontally away from each other. I threw some ties around each new branch, anchoring it to its adjacent fan leaf. By doing this, I am using the anchor point to help guide the growth while the branch is still new and bendy - this should hopefully lay me down an easier foundation to work with as we move toward the next steps. Now that each new branch has grown just past its first node, I will be making the last round of topping later today. I'll be putting it all together in the next video in my Let's Mainline Series on IGTV, so stay tuned because I'll be sharing that here as well! ✌️💜🌱 *** went ahead and topped each of my 4 branches at their 1st nodes. Re-anchored them down with plant ties. This girl is a beast! 💪

Hello guys and happy easter! Today is the end of week 6 of flowering and start of week 11. i will slowly reduce the amount light they resieve since they mature better when it‘s down slowly. I think Nr. 2 and 3 got a little leavy but still are beautiful. Let‘s see how they‘ll keep developing. C you next week 🙌🏼

In my opinion, the harvest was quite good for a first grow. The buds are now in jars with humidity control packs and hygrometers, curing in the dark. Several weeks have passed, and I've already had the chance to try them. I have to say that I quite like the taste, and when smoking, I don't experience any harshness or other negative effects; instead, it feels rather mild and pleasant. The effect is good—not what I'm used to, but very pleasant and calming. I'm already looking forward to the next grow.

Week 10, one more week normal feeding then ill start to lower the EC a lot and just feed straight rain with 1.5ml/l overdrive By that time she wont need nitrogen anymore she is very dark and fattening up. The buds are rockhard and full of frost. I think 3 more weeks and shes gonna be ready

Day 2 flip: Due to the other plants in the room , I needed to flip the lights to flower. I was worried she wouldnt really be big enough to benefit from the flowering yet but ad it is a tester seed for my own cross , I wanted to see the buds it creates rather than a big yield yet. I have about 15 of these crosses that I separated as they popped out and among the many that I mixed together during the panic to remove the offending male, "Billy big bollocks", to stop him ruining anymore of my vestal virgins. The result of the Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is impressing the hell out of me so far. She is a lot younger than her neighbours by 2 weeks in some cases but she is the biggest in her NFT tray now. I have been training her with bends and squashes into a quadline of sorts and I am not dissapointed either response. The below decks nodes are stacking right behind each other's heads and look like they will remain close together. This is a bonus as I have a friend growing another cross of my gelato (RQS Hulkberry/Gelato)that is 1.2M tall and colas from the base to the many tips. I dont have space for any more monsters with the fastbuds testers going wild. lol The Zkittel pheno can go two ways too as I had two different ones in a previous grow that both produced rock solid buds but were very different in growth rate and structures. The Gelato gene is also a lanky lady from her sativa background so seeing a squat ,thick plant at this stage indicates a fat colas short girl is coming. I will be popping a cross in each new run i do as I want to see what I have created here with these and also as I a have always fancied a go at breeding seeds. Have fun and stay safe. be prepared for a 10 day internet loss !!!!. world financial reset imminent!!!!

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 2: The Rise of the Green Titan Greetings, fellow growers and botanical enthusiasts! Our Apolo F1 has sprouted into a verdant marvel, standing tall and proud, like a green titan rising from the soil. Join me in this second-week report as we explore the wonders of growth, the magic of transplantation, and the botanical symphony of nutrients. This week marked a significant milestone – the grand migration to an 11L fabric pot, generously provided by the good folks at Royal Queen Seeds. Now, let's talk fabric pots and why they're the VIP treatment for our plant's roots. Fabric pots, oh, they're like the five-star hotels for roots! Unlike their traditional counterparts, fabric pots offer superior aeration. The porous fabric breathes, preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged and ensuring oxygen reaches every nook and cranny of our Apolo F1's root system. It's like giving our plant a breath of fresh air, quite literally. But the benefits don't end there – fabric pots also prevent roots from circling the container, promoting a more extensive and fibrous root system. This, my friends, translates to a happier, healthier plant with increased nutrient uptake and overall vigor. It's like our Apolo F1 is getting a botanical spa day every day! Now, let's dive into the alchemical mix that accompanied this transplantation – my special Aptus Holland super soil blend. Picture this as the magic potion for plant prosperity. First in the concoction is Micromix Soil, a blend of microorganisms and stimulants that's like a botanical feast. These microorganisms act as the unsung heroes of the soil, enhancing nutrient availability and fostering a symbiotic relationship with our green companion. Next up, enter the Substrate Buffer Powder – the pH conditioner extraordinaire. Unstable pH conditions begone! This powder, featuring micronized calcium, acts as the stabilizing force, ensuring our plant enjoys a balanced pH banquet. And let's not forget the All-in-One Pellet – the time-released 100% organic pellet fertilizer. Packed with a compounded NPK fertilizer, magnesium, sulfur, and organically chelated microelements, it's like a gourmet meal for our Apolo F1. The L-amino acids are the chef's kiss, enhancing nutrient absorption and overall plant health. During the transplantation spectacle, I introduced Mycor Mix once again. This blend of endomycorrhizae, fixed on a vegetal carrier, is like the entourage for our Apolo F1, feeding and protecting the fungi that, in turn, support our plant's growth. It's the ultimate teamwork, a botanical Avengers assembling to ensure our green hero thrives. And the best part? Our Apolo F1 is reacting with sheer botanical enthusiasm, reaching for the stars and soaking in the nutrients like a plant on a mission. Before I conclude this week's report, a heartfelt shoutout to Royal Queen Seeds for the royal treatment in the form of fabric pots, to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Grow Diaries for being the virtual arena where our horticultural tale unfolds. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our Apolo F1 Mission Diary – where we'll witness the continued ascent of our green titan. 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 <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS APOLLO F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

They got moved into the 4x4 with the jimmy rigged 180w quantum board light built from ceiling tile grid. The tnb co2 is newish but I gotta get the heat up and bring in a more powerful light to take full advantage.
