We moved on to the second week. The root has already reached the end of the pot. I am amazed by the root development. I did not expect such a big root and I think it could have been transplanted a little earlier. On the twelfth day, he moved to a 22.7 L pot.

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 4: The Symphony of Growth Continues! Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green kingdom! Week 4 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with a crescendo of growth, as we continue to shape this botanical masterpiece. Join me as we explore the ongoing ballet of bending, leaf manipulation, and the new addition – topping! Our Apolo F1 has truly become a prima ballerina in the art of controlled chaos. The mainlining technique continues to guide the branches into a dance of elegance and efficiency. Each bend and twist is a stroke on the canvas of growth, ensuring even light distribution and robust development. It's like watching nature paint its own masterpiece! Leaf manipulation adds an extra layer to our botanical canvas. Gently coaxing the leaves to bend and expose more surface area to light is like unlocking the full potential of each leaf. The result? A foliage symphony that's not only beautiful but also optimized for photosynthesis. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's composing a green opus! In a bold move, I've decided to top our flourishing Apolo F1. Topping is like giving her a stylish haircut, redirecting the energy to create multiple colas and enhance bushiness. It's a calculated risk, and judging by the vibrant response so far, our green virtuoso is ready to embrace the challenge. The stage is set for a richer, more complex growth performance! The nutrient-rich serenade persists with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 has a nutrient banquet at her disposal. The temperature remains a cozy 20 degrees Celsius, providing the ideal backdrop for this botanical performance. Beneath the soil surface, the root rhapsody continues. Roots are not just anchors; they're the silent applauders to our botanical spectacle. Their dance beneath the surface ensures our Apolo F1 remains anchored and well-nourished. As always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fuels our green odyssey, and to Royal Queen Seeds for gifting us the botanical star of this vibrant show. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the continued symphony of growth and the unfolding drama of a topped and trained botanical virtuoso! Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be evergreen! 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

*Week 6 of flowering 10/01* Critical +2.0 - Apple Fritter Both plants are nearing harvest and have maxed out at a height of 48 inches. Buds have developed heavy trichomes and are giving off a bright and vibrant smell. 85% of both plants have grown in their orange hairs and have a bright green and orange tint, Today will be the last nutrient feed, I will be using the "Lotus Carboflush" starting tomorrow (10/02) to remove the salt build up until harvest which will be next week (10/09) * 10/8 - Cut down* Both are heavy on top - Covered in trichomes - smells deep (Citrus) Dry trimming in two weeks - aiming for 14 day cure. *Day 2 Dry Hang Video uploaded 10/09* *10/15 - Harvest should be completed by the end of this week - 10/20*

Day 79, 28th of November 2020: Hi there! Here we go let's say half way. Plants are pretty these Original Sensible Seeds genetics are fantastic! The 2 OG and the Runtz Gum is very strechy. Black Ghost is pretty shorter bushier plant. Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG approx the same height Do-Si-Dos OG is taller a bit. Wedding Gelato is really cool little, bushy anf nice buds forming not problem with her all she is quiet. Do-Si-Dos OG has some deficiency and leaf gets dry but nothing very serious..... Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

D106. At the start of week 10 of flower, we're just coasting toward harvest as the lower canopy is slowly dying. ------------------------------ D109. The girls are getting top-heavy and starting to fall/lean over, so I had to support a couple of branches. The leaves are also beginning to sag. Honestly, it looks a bit messy in the tent right now with all the leaning and drooping going on. On top of that, the top buds all look like mutant freaks due to light stress. Oh, well. I expected as much due to their insane stretch and being so close to the light. So far, only the first girl is undergoing senescence in her leaves, with the lower ones dying off. I've used a loupe to scout the trichomes, but so far, I have mostly seen clear or cloudy, with occasional amber here and there. Chop day is still off for at least a week or two. I gave each girl 2 liters of water @ pH 5.9 with FFJ and humic acid. ------------------------------ D112. We're at the end of the tenth week of flower and getting close to the chop. The funny thing is that the first girl displays full-on senescence with her leaves going yellow, but she only has the occasional amber trichome here and there, with the vast majority being cloudy and even clear. On the other hand, the second girl doesn't display any senescence at all but has a lot more amber trichomes. I'll continue to monitor the trichomes, but I guess I'll chop in a week or so. ------------------------------

Pretty cool....i have two males of each cultivar to choose from as well as a female from each. The 3 females will get there own diaries. Males- -Koffee F8 #2 is just dumping pollen like crazy. Way more then #3 and has a fatter "Flower" structure #3 has thinner "Flower" structure but is showing more purple then the #2. I have plates colleting the pollen the best i can. Ive never grown a male plant past 3 weeks. This is exciting. -Clover Shake #1 male is very thin #3 male is now showing sex and will go into the male tent -Candy Master Star Dawg #2 male #3 male Both going into the male tent

Last days for most of them - only Strawberry Cough will stay longer - she is super hungry and I can not keep up with feeding her - most of leaves are yellow now. 😱 The rest - four plants will be harvested on the weekend - 2-3 days from now and frozen - I'll be making bubble hash and fresh frozen live resin from them in the following weeks 😈 Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber starting - ideal ripeness and time to freeze those glands

Kind of given up on this one. I had an issue catchung runoff which led to me not watering plants enough Not watering plants to runoff will result in higher substrate Ec(Generative cue and also could burn plants) Also its about 20• outside which does not work for the plantsr dark period. December and january are tough months. I recently learned that i should

Due to prolonged bad weather, I decided to harvest them to avoid mold and other damage. There were three of us, and it took around 6 hours to trim about 80% of both plants. I ended up with a yield of 205 grams dry per plant. I'm more than satisfied with the plants. For my first grow, I couldn't be happier.

After a week of growth, the Blackberry is out of the dome. It was overgrowing it, so I just transplanted it into its final autowatering pot for simplicity. I normally go seedling pot to 1.5g pot to 3-5 gallon pot, but this very tall 2.5 gallon airpot will be a first for me. I think the benefits it will receive outweigh the cons. I am now running a humidifier at 60 percent RH, and will be watching the plants carefully throughout the week as I dial up the nutrients and ensure a good VPD for the plants. The Blackberry is a bit more vigorous and healthy than the Blackberry Kush by Dutch Passion growing with it. I hope the Kush catches up, but I am very pleased with the Fastbuds at this early state. Thanks for reading, and stay safe everyone! 👍🌱 Day 10: started adding silicon and rapid start (and a little pH down) and upped the trio slightly. In case anyone is wondering if there is any perlite, there is! It's just chilling under layer of pure coco. Right now there is 3l of perlite per pot, with the highest concentration lowest in the pot. The Blackberry is growing very well at this point, and definitely does not mind the earlier transplant! Day 12: I lowered the light height by 8in, down to my more usual vegitative height, to ensure maximum light exposure for this vigorous plant. The Blackberry is doing well, and will definitely get topped after it gets another node or so of growth. Day 13: I am running low on calimagic as a cal mag source, so I switched out to Greenleaf nutrients cal-mag pro that I have a bag of (that will last forever!) It has a bit more nitrogen, which is good for the current plant stage, so I can save the calimagic for flowering if the plants don't mind the switch. I mix about .5-.6 EC worth of Cal mag, which is about .625tsp per 5 gallons of the Cal mag pro. I will have this reflected on tomorrow's diary entry.

Was really worried the whole time through out my grow as I am a Newbie and this was my first grow. Thanks for all the help provided by users on growndiaries. Much appreciated. Had great result from my solo cup. 12.6 grams of dried bud. Time for curing and let that smell build up. Fingers crossed will taste better but smells amazing. Zesty smell when crushed. More confident for my next grow. Hopefully will be more fun and relaxing growing.

Day 62. 13 days after the flip to 12/12 and starting to show pistils from the shoots. Leaves are much healthier than before and they're taking to flowering well. I cant get the temperature any lower at the moment so it will just have to do. Although heatwaves are on the way to the UK! Emergency news, I must relocate and the ladies are coming with me! Big task but must remove the net and then they're coming on a journey with me! I am not sure whether I will put the net back on and try to weave them through or if maybe LST is the way to go from here unfortunately..
