Chopped on day 67, could have gone longer. But DAMN this blew past all my expectations, mostly because of the lighting challenges. I got 126 grams with 5 weeks of veg with a less than optimal positioned 400 hps, HELL YES. Not to mention it is probably the best THC strain I have ever had, certainly the best smelling, at least.

Feed all 4 plants with nutes this week. Money Maker and Chocolate Skunk received 100% of the formulation while both GPA Cookies strains received 50% strength. I also added the AC Infinity Cloudforge T3 to generate more humidity and this seems to be helping! Got the Photone app to help me calculate PPD and adjust light height.

βœ‹Wk 5: Growing like a weed, and max power. πŸ‘‰2-8 Day 38 for the 3 gallon plant. The plant continues to show noticable growth every time I open the tent. The 1 gallon is 4 days behind total age wise, yet is physically one week ahead of the 3gallon. The pistols appeared 3 days ago on the 1 gallon 4 days ago. I haven't seen any on the 3 gallon yet, I anticipate them in the next 3-4 days. The 3 gallon trunk is getting stout and if the plant stays short I wont be doing much lolly popping and grow a nice little Christmas tree shaped plant. The 1 gallon has a very thick trunk and is actually two inches taller than the 3 gallon plant. Both plants are looking like they are more busy building branches than reaching for the lights, which is preferred, because I'm sure at least one of these plants will eventually challenge the height limits of the tent. I say that because I try to be prepared for the hard situations. What I hope for is they are 35-45" plants max. πŸ‘‰The diary stats for nutrients on this page will be for the 3 gallon. I included a page from my fertigation log to see the difference in nutrient levels of EC.The 3 gallon plant has remained on the week 3 mix for the nutrients on the General Hydroponics drain to waste nutrient mix chart (late growth). The 1 gallon plant is on the week 4 mix (transition). I will switch 3 gallon to week 4 as soon as the first pistols appear. The 1 gallon will switch to week 5 in the next 2-3 days. The 3 gallon plant gets the EC of the upper end of the recommended nutrient strength. The 1 gallon gets the lowest (or just below) the low end of the recommended EC. THe week neither plant had EC run-off above 30+ of the inflow. Infact the run-off EC of the 3 gallon plant and the 1 gallon plant has been very stable and shows that the plants are really drinking it in! I use enough inflow volume to get 30% of the inflow (minimum), but sometimes I up it just a bit. πŸ‘‰I have started the grow with the lights dimmed to 75%. 6 days ago I turned both lamps up to 100%. I try to maintain approximately 17" distance from lamp to plants. Both plants are the same height right now (the 1 gallon is in a shorter pot so its 2" taller). The lights have to be raised every 3-4 days now. The heat increased a little bit, but the outdoor temps have been in the low 30s so the overall temp in the tent is the same.

So far 2 ounces under the single mars TS1000 7 oz from the 3 plants at the hps flower room One plant weighed and curing from the hps dark devils x3 First hps dark devil weighing 3 ounces. Dark devil (lighter color) hps grow Look: 9 Smell: 8 (chocolate scent) Density: 4 Moisture: 2 Taste: 7 High: 10 Crash: 0 This dark devil is a little less dense then the other but still looks very unique with its purplish tinge and orange hairs. The smell is a chocolate lovers heaven as the smoke is very flavorful with the delicious scent of chocolate! The taste is diesely with a hint of earthly undertones and aftertaste that tastes even better imo. As for the high, it's a slow and steady mellow high; high function kind of high, not crazy relaxing but not super energetic. It's a very nice and calm get things done feeling. The end of the high is very mellow as well; there's really no crash and my hunger hasn't spiked and I'm an hour and a half into it! Summary: This strain of dark devil is a good choice is your a high functioning smoker and enjoy a nice mellow relaxing high with aromas that make the experience just that much better! 8/10

Harvest Week. I hope all my North American friends had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. I harvested on Tuesday, so due to Thanksgiving prep. I'm late posting the harvest report. Apollo is a wonderful plant to grow. She stayed short. I tried to lst by tying down. Apollo limbs pushed up the pins many times. She is strong and resilient. After watering only 2 liters with Vit B, Recharge and Signal yesterday, I put her in the 3#x3tent in the dark. The leaves were showing the fade using up the nutrients. 11/21 is day Apollo's 71 day and 43 in flower. The harvest window per RQS is 70-75 days from seed. Apollo's buds are thick, dense, stinky citrus floral and sticky. As she hangs to dry, she is pungent and stinky. I am so proud of this grow. I didn't overfeed so I have experienced the color fade to yellow as foods are used up and the delicate colors emerge in the sugar leaves. I am very impressed with Royal Queen Seeds F1 genetics. So much so I bought Milky Way F1 and Medusa F1. I will definitely have another Apollo grow in January. Thank you @James at RQS. After hanging to dry 13 days and a little bit more trim, Smokable bud 128 g or 4,5 oz. Wow this is my best harvest and grow ever. I put her in the jars to cure. Apollo F1 had a huge base stem and was multi branching-even the side stems had side stems. The stems were sturdy. No support is needed for her branches She stayed short at 26 inches tall. I definitely pushed her on the watering. When I saw no runoff after 2.5 liters of water, I upped to 3 ltr. Then 3.5, then 1 gallon. I watered 2 liters, let the water absorb, then slowly add another 2 liters. There was a small amount of run off at the time of watering but was all gone by the next day. It could have been evaporation, but I really think it was consumption. Consumption is an indicator of yield. As densely bushy as she is, I'm estimating at least 90 grams. So for future grows, especially for very bushy plants, I will defoliate at least 2x during early and midflower to open up the canopy and let the plants bulk up more. She did show some nutrient (cal-mag) deficiency and for the next Apollo grow, I will push the feed a bit. I'm excited and a bit sad to see this grow come to an end at the same time. I really want to sample the smoke and feel the effect. Apollo is a balanced Hybrid. Thanks for the visit. Apollo and I appreciate the likes, views and comments. Be sure to check out my Recipe diary for some tasty edibles, basic infused sugar, butter, honey recipes to kickoff your edible making experience. Also some health and beauty recipes as well. Have wonderful week. Happy growing and have fun. Natrona ******************************** Apollo F1 is a vigorous auto flowering hybrid that boasts a strong structure and delicious aromas. Created from inbred lines descending from Lemon, Black Domina, and Sugar Magnolia, Apollo F1 inherited premium genetics from her predecessors. Like the ancient Greek deity she's named after, Apollo F1 produces balanced, creative effects that might inspire your perception of music, dance, poetry, and more! Mature and well-dried Apollo F1 flowers boast an upfront fresh aroma that combines crisp pine and herbal notes with the invigorating kick of ripe citrus peels. Accentuating these notes is a rich backdrop of dark vanilla and hints of lavender, reminiscent of modern cannabis varieties descending from Cookies and other US lineages. Apollo F1 produces a resin loaded with plenty of cannabinoids (predominantly THC) and a complex mix of terpenes including myrcene, terpinolene, farnesene, caryophyllene, ocimene, limonene, and linalool. As a result, Apollo F1 produces a balanced effect very typical of a well-bred hybridβ€”expect a powerfully relaxing physical sensation (characteristic of myrcene, farnesene, and linalool) mixed with a notable euphoria and motivating kick produced by terpinolene, ocimene, and limonene. Apollo F1 is a robust cultivar with the telltale compact structure of an indica-dominant hybrid. Plants reach a medium height with many tightly spaced branches that quickly become loaded with bud sites and thick, dark-green foliage. Apollo F1 flowers automatically, and her entire life cycle lasts roughly 80 days. Come harvest time, Apollo F1 will reward you with big, dense flowers bearing a thick layer of trichomes. Variety: F1 Hybrid auto Genetic Background: Lemon x Black Domina x Sugar Mangolia THC: Very high Yield: XXL Height: 55 - 75 cm Flowering time: 45 - 50 days Harvest: 75 - 80 days after sprouting Effect: Calming, Creative, Motivating , Physically Relaxing Flavor: Citrus, Herbal, Lavender, Pine, Vanilla Major terpenes: Caryophyllene, Farnesene, Myrcene, Terpinolene Climate: Short Summers Friends, Royal Queen Seeds Is offering a discount on purchases πŸ‘‰**GROWERS20** for 20% πŸ‘ˆ Https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Link to Apollo https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/us/56-f1-hybrid-cannabis-seeds ==================================== Equipment: AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 844 – Advance Grow Tent 48”x48”x80” CONTROLLER 69 PRO – Grow Tent Controller CLOUDLINE LITE 6 - Inline Fan 6" IONBOARD S44 – LED Grow Light Board 400W CLOUDRAY S6 – Oscillating Circulation Clip Fan Carbon Filter 6” Pots: 5 gallon Air pots Soil Fox Farm Happy Frog amended with worm castings, perlite, dolomite lime and mycorrhiza.

Day 105- So we are on week 8 of flower as of 2 days ago. Day 105 from seed. I watered both plants today with Jack's. I'm hoping this is the last time with nutes for at least one of the girls. My sativa has mostly cloudy trichomes so I'm going to start flushing her after this. I'm thinking she will be where I want her to be in a week. Maybe a tad longer. I'm waiting out the indica a little while longer because I'm shooting for a decent amount of amber. I can see the finish line What a major learning experience. So humbled to share this journey with you all. Not a perfect grow by any means but I hope to use this knowledge and crush my second grow. Day 109- Started 36 hours of dark at 5:30am Day 110- Trimmed and hung. What a ride it has been! Can't wait to update with a dry weight.

Fast to flower some decently large nugs! This girl is the only one that survived my "initial torture test" for my sf4000(dimmed to 75% (333watts) in quarter of my 3x3 tent)! She was very resistant to "too much light intensity" as a seedling, and didn't mutate! Once the light was at an ideal height, she started vegging very strong, but 1 week of important time had been lost. She started to flower, and stacked up a bunch of dense buds very nicely! I'm very excited to be growing this strain again next run!-with more training.

- new light schedule - dimmed light drastically ____________________________________________ light- and watering schedule: see photos now: 12 plants 2 x Auto Orange Bud > Dutch Passion (early80's) 2 x Haze Berry Automatic > Royal Queen Seeds (2018) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's) 2 x Original Auto BubbleGum > Fast Buds Company (late 80's) 1 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company 1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015) 2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds setup + strategy: 18 seeds 3 x Auto Orange Bud (early80's) 3 x Haze Berry Automatic (2018) 3 x Auto Euforia (late 90's) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > Fast Butts (late 80's) 2 x Strawberry Pie Auto 1 x Gorilla-Cookies Auto (2015) 2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud setup: 18 x gronest 2 liter 60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent 4 l humidifier 25 watt axial fan 15 watt clip fan ro-filter bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary) ...and a lot of odds and ends. grow strategy: max yield by stressing with: 1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen) 2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm) 3. many strains (8 strains) 4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics) 5. no stress by light or food or water 6. unintentionally too much food plus: - no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking - positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges) - music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas) max efficiency (min electricity - max yield): - light: 23 h on - 1 h off - keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks temperatur management: - using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low: my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp - adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent: blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air summer extreme: no humidifier: 36Β°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29Β°C / 65 rh works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers germination: seeding in waterglass spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted man versus fungus gnat: 5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Florganics is a living soil starting fertiliser the earth is this time plagron light mix the lamp is at the start at 25 watts and 20cm above canopy i will start to remove water from the system by placeing a spongecloth on the waterslide i think the earth is a bit on the wet side Also want to add nutrients at some point and fresh nematodes to make sure i dont get the damn flies again i move the controller to the other side to make sure the sensor for temp and humidity is close to the plants I had to change the soil mid week as it was too hot. It was made from last year's FLO Florganics and too bad... It switched to biotabs NL And put ZK 1 and ZK 2 in the fridgegrow system. I removed ZK 3... WHATEVER FLO Florganics is actually a great product and as soon as it is available again we will use it again... There was trouble with the factory and Flo learnt a lot. Now the fertilizer gets tested in and independent lab.... END of week all looks great the plants are growing the one that had too many nutirents for a while is now ... bigger of course
