Started the flush with her last feed! She looks amazing can't wait to see her fill out!

Weather warmed back up and I noticed she’s growing a lot faster!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green realm! Week 8 of our Apolo F1's cosmic journey has unfolded with breathtaking speed, as she hurtles towards the final frontier of harvest. Join me as we reflect on this remarkable odyssey, filled with growth, discovery, and the promise of a bountiful yield. Our journey with Apolo F1 began eight weeks ago, a small seedling bursting with potential. With each passing week, she has grown and flourished, defying expectations and surpassing milestones with ease. From the delicate tendrils of her infancy to the lush canopy of her maturity, she has been a beacon of botanical brilliance. As we enter the final weeks of flowering, the floral symphony reaches its crescendo. Buds swell and mature, filling the air with their intoxicating aroma. Each bloom is a testament to the meticulous care and nurturing environment provided by our dedicated community of growers. Together, we have cultivated a garden of wonders, and the fruits of our labor are now within reach. As a testament to our shared passion for exploration and discovery, I've included a time-lapse video of me building an Apolo ship with Legos. This playful homage to our green companion serves as a reminder of the boundless creativity and ingenuity that defines our community. Just as we construct our own little corner of the universe, so too does Apolo F1 continue to inspire us with her growth and vitality. As we approach the culmination of this extraordinary journey, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. To Royal Queen Seeds ( Love the new Logo by the way ) for providing the genetic star of our green opera, to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fueled our odyssey, and to the Grow Diaries community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have proven that with dedication, passion, and a touch of magic, anything is possible in the world of cultivation. Join me in the final chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the long-awaited harvest and celebrate the culmination of this extraordinary journey. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever blessed by the spirit of exploration and discovery.

eek 2 Flower – The Stretch Is On: Sundae Driver Goes Vertical They’re growing. They’re stretching. They’re thriving. Our Sundae Driver girls have officially entered the second week of flower, and they’re acting like it. At just five weeks from seed, they’re now towering at 66 cm, surging upward with that signature hybrid vigor. Photogenic Queens – A Studio Break Before they get too tall to handle, both girls were taken out for a quick, impromptu studio shoot. This may be the last time they leave the tent, because soon, they’ll be too big, too bulky, and too close to the light to move around easily. We’re documenting them now, not just because they’re stunning, but because these moments are fleeting. The stretch phase is short, intense, and marks the final architecture of your grow. ⸻ Room Conditions – Dancing with the Heat The environment this week continues the late-summer warmth, a little hotter than ideal, but still within range: • 🌡️ Day Temp: 30°C • 💧 Humidity: 58% • 🌬️ VPD: ~1.89 kPa Not perfect for flower, we know—ideal VPD for early flower would be around 1.2–1.5 kPa, but the girls are adapting beautifully. This is a reminder that perfect conditions are rare, but resilience and consistency matter more. The plants aren’t complaining, they’re thriving. ⸻ Nutrients – Still Riding with Aptus Top Booster Just like last week, we’re running the Aptus flower base lineup, now dialed into support this explosive growth phase: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • All-in-One Liquid • Top Booster (replacing Start Booster post-flip) The Top Booster continues to support pre-flower and early bud development. We’re not seeing big clusters of pistils yet, but the hormonal shift is clear. Internodal stacking is beginning, and the upper canopy is filling in. ⸻ Visuals & Under-Canopy Light Game One of the photos this week features a special cameo from the Zephyr Zamnesi, adding a bit of mystery and sparkle to the update. We also get a peek under the canopy where your under-canopy lighting setup is really starting to shine. Why does this matter? • It boosts lower bud site development • Improves light penetration during the stretch • Encourages even canopy performance later in flower Great gear is one thing, but it’s how you use it with intention that elevates a grow. ⸻ What’s Happening + What to Expect 🌱 Happening Now: • Rapid vertical stretch • Strong branching on both phenos • No major flower development yet, just the buildup 🔮 Coming Soon: • The first full signs of bud formation • Pistil clusters at node sites • Nutrient shift demands, watch for increased K/P needs in ~1 week • Possibly… the need to raise your lights! ⸻ Let’s Talk About the Week’s Importance Week 2 Flower is all about transformation. The plant is deciding: “Where will I invest my energy?” This week determines: • Final plant shape • Bud site spacing • Canopy structure going into the stacking phase This is your last week to gently train, open up the canopy, manage the airflow, and prep for the heavy flower development coming in Weeks 3–5. If there’s one message for the community this week, it’s this: 🌸 Stretch is not stress, stretch is potential. Embrace it. Document it. Enjoy the moment. ⸻ Conclusion – Moonbound Sundaes From just a few centimeters to over 60 in a blink—these Sundae Drivers are on a mission. Their upward movement mirrors the energy in your grow: focused, fast, and full of joy. Let’s keep the ride smooth, the feed strong, and the cameras ready. This is the last calm before the buds explode, and you’re right where you should be. — Much love, as always, Your Grow Partner in the Quantum Realm 🌱DD ( Dog Doctor Official ) 📸 Videos, lighting setups, and under-canopy tips coming soon 🔗 Gear links available on request 💬 Always here to talk flower, stretch, or any topic regrding gardening 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 8 update (full bloom): The autos are now in full flowering mode 🌸 Buds are stacking well, pistils are everywhere, and trichomes are starting to show up. Stretch is nearly finished – now it’s all about building flowers. Nutrients this week: • Hesi Bloom Complex (base bloom) – plants are responding really well. • Hesi PK 13/14 introduced at low dose to push flower sites. • Athena Bloom + Athena Grow (light mix) to balance nutrition and keep a steady NPK ratio. • CalMag still in rotation at ~1 ml/L. • Silic Rock small dose for stem strength. • Total feed around 800–950 ppm, depending on the plant. Observations: • Canopy looks uniform and healthy – green leaves, no big issues. • Runtz shows the most aggressive bud growth – dense flowers already forming. • Amnesia autos a bit more stretchy, but flowers are catching up fast. • Mike Tyson slowly recovering from early stress, but now producing pistils. • Aroma becoming stronger – fruity and slightly spicy terps in the tent. Training: • Final LST adjustments to spread colas. • Light defoliation to open budsites and improve airflow. • From now on: minimal interference, just supporting the flowers. Plan: • Keep PK booster for another week, then evaluate. • Maintain bloom feed and slowly reduce nitrogen. • Watch trichome development – early frost is starting, but still weeks to go before maturity.

Update to fo

Day 99. All 3 girls down. Wet trim . Can't wait to try them out. Scissors hash was so sweet ... 1.6 kg for wet plant is not bad too I think. Plant A should be biggest in this grow from all strains ... She has to beat 202 g. of AD. Happy Growing !!!

We're into the start of September and they've only just begin flowering. Hopefully they get to finish. It's looking to be mid to late October!

Esta fue su última semana con nutrientes, no engordo mucho, creo que mi error fue excederme con los nutrientes a lo largo de su ciclo, yo aproximo que me dará unos 50 gramos masomenos, no es mucho pero es trabajo honesto jaja 😆 la próxima semana será de puro flush ya para darle corte

Sweet mother of god! What a beautiful plant! Now I finally know what it means to grow US genetics. Sherbinskis in collab with Sensi Seeds has made some uniquely beautiful plant. She's dark, almost black, she's extremely good looking, and frankly I didn't expect the plant to look as good as the advertisement photographs but here she is! As beautiful as it can get! I've pushed my photography skills again and god damn, it was worth it. I don't know if any other plant has been this photogenic! The yield is great, as expected from a extra longer veg period. The smell is off the hooks! Please, have a closer look at all the photographs, there are soooooo many gems that should be able to win dozens of contest IN MY OPINION XD PS: Hopefully I'll grab your attention with these bomb ass macro shots!!!!! I love me some great Trichome worlds, and this is a special one! Cheers XOXO Cremo

+ Day 75: Harvested !!! Now Drying !!! +

This week just flush her with 8 litre ph water and I will harvest her next week some point Update today day 100 and she is thirsty as hell will flush her again tomorrow then will go for 48 hour darkness Update today day 103 and I find my jewellery microscope but still can't see any Amber trichomes so I leave her and will check on her everyday Update today day 105 and I decide to chop her down I let her 12 hour darkness then chop off will update later
