Going to harvest this week

**Glass of water AND Paper Towel** ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 08/17/21: 😺 These seeds resulted from a stressed Green Crack pollinating one of our GDPs..we've found about 18 seeds total in the entire plant...we soaked 10 seeds in water for 36hours (tossed 2 seeds after 12 hrs and still not sinking) and then we put them in a paper towel for 24hrs, we actually do this with all our seeds and have always had great success, we plant everything indoors in Promix and this includes seedlings...of the 8 we'll likely keep 5-6 of the best looking seedlings, not too many because we'll need to keep a closer eye on these come flower but i'm super excited to see what will come from our unintentional cross.., thank you for reading if you made it this far and happy gardening!!! 😺❤️💡🌱 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 08/20/21: 😿 Of the 8 seeds, only 1 showed taproot, so we soaked another set of 8 seeds and again, only 1 showed taproot...these seeds don't seem too viable with only 2 of 16 seeds sprouting but we'll give them some time to come around.. we planted the 2 seeds in 1 quart nursery pots today, that contained a 50/50 mix of new and used promix, with a sprinkle of lime and EWC.. fingers crossed!! 🤞🐱🤞 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 08/23/21 😺Sweet Jesus we have life lol.. neither of us can remember a seed/seeds ever geminating this slowly, it has taken nearly 8 days to break the soil and it's barely breaking it (there's 1 other seedling behind it)...we don't have a ton of faith that these plants will perform well or have a ton of vigor but we're holding out because they may surprise us..thanks for reading and happy growing!! 😽💨

Reduced the humidity further, set it to ~40% right now, but since we're in a severe heat-wave in germany right now (we are peaking at 30°C indoors and ~33°C in our "growroom") our dehumidifier is working overtime. Defoliating every few days, leaving us with sticky fingers and scissors. Buds are developing fine and growing very quickly in size. Leaves are getting more and more frosty, even removed some when defoliating and took a look at the trichomes under our mikroskopic lense. Very beautiful and dense trichome-structure; especially on the buds. The red-purple coloured parts of the buds, mentioned last week, are developing nicely and much quicker than expected. Even spotted some milky trichomes on the headbud here and there.

Cant wait for the next grow! 😘

Easy going week. nothing much to report. The EC pen I got is acting weird already. sometimes I'll put it in the feeding liquid and it will display 400ppm something. Then if I move it about or drip it in and out it will jump up to 700ppm something. I doing it over and over till I get a base line and go from that. this weeks EC was aorund 680ppm but the video does not show the other dips I did. PH still kicking aorund 5.9. I find it more annoying to adjust just the waters PH for these plants on the balcony where everything else is "as is" Will try this again indoors in a peat and perlite medium void of any other additives when It can have more of my undivided attention. maybe on the other seeds I got from FB via a friend in the mail. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend. stupid rule on contest must have videos every week,

Super nice variety sticky, puprle, strong!

Topped at 14 days. Waiting to be transplanted to bigger pot and another topping ahead she missed three-leaf clover. first topping ahead. end of second week with higher expectation

Das sind fantastische Nahaufnahmen! Deine Vermutung mit **1 bis 2 Wochen** ist eine absolut punktgenaue Landung. Man sieht deutlich, dass die Damen auf die Zielgerade eingebogen sind, aber jede Pflanze hat gerade ihr ganz eigenes Tempo. Hier ist die detaillierte Analyse der Trichome und des Reifegrades (von links nach rechts): ### 1. Apricot Auto (AA) – Die Vorreiterin * **Trichome:** Auf den Bildern sieht man ein sehr schönes Meer aus **milchigen (trüben)** Trichomen. Die ersten bernsteinfarbenen Köpfchen blitzen vereinzelt schon auf den Spitzen auf. * **Status:** Sie ist am weitesten. Hier sind wir eher bei **7 bis 10 Tagen**. * **Empfehlung:** Ab sofort nur noch klares Wasser (Spülen), falls du das nicht schon tust. Sie braucht keinen Dünger mehr, um fertig zu werden. ### 2. Cherry Cola (CC) – Die Überraschung * **Trichome:** Wer hätte das gedacht? Die "Zicke" hat ordentlich aufgeholt. Die Trichome sind fast alle trüb, kaum noch klare dabei. * **Status:** Sie liegt fast gleichauf mit der AA. Auch hier sind **10 Tage** ein realistisches Ziel. Das Wasser-Regime der letzten Zeit hat ihr sichtlich geholfen, den Stickstoff-Überschuss abzubauen und sich auf die Reife zu konzentrieren. ### 3. Tropicana Cookies (TC) – Die Harz-Maschine * **Trichome:** Das Harz ist phänomenal. Obwohl sie optisch am spektakulärsten aussieht, wirken die Trichome hier noch am "frischesten". Es sind noch einige klare Köpfchen dazwischen. * **Status:** Sie hat das größte Potenzial, in den nächsten Tagen noch an Masse und Potenz zuzulegen. Hier würde ich eher auf die vollen **14 Tage** tippen, um das Maximum an Bernstein für einen entspannten Turn herauszuholen. --- ### Mein Fazit & Plan für die "Letzte Ölung": 1. **Wasser-Marsch:** Ich würde ab jetzt bei **allen dreien komplett auf Dünger verzichten** (auch kein PK mehr). Die Pflanzen haben genug Reserven in den Blättern, um die letzte Woche zu zehren. Das verbessert den Geschmack massiv. 2. **Lichtleistung (80%):** Lass die Lampe auf 80%. In der letzten Woche vor der Ernte kannst du sie (wenn die Temperatur unter 26°C bleibt) für 3-4 Tage auf 90% pushen, um die Harzproduktion als "Stressreaktion" final zu triggern. 3. **RLF im Auge behalten:** Da die Buds jetzt extrem dicht und harzig sind, ist eine RLF von **unter 50%** dein bester Freund gegen Schimmel auf den letzten Metern.

Die Blüten werden immer noch größer und die Pflanzen strecken sich brav nach oben 👆

🍑 Apricot Auto – Woche 14 | Das letzte Outdoor-Kapitel 🌿🏁 Und da sind wir nun angekommen… Woche 14 und damit beim letzten regulären Wochenupdate meiner Apricot Outdoor. 🍑🌿 Was für eine Reise diese Pflanzen hinter sich haben. Wenn ich zurückblicke, wie alles angefangen hat, und sie heute mit ihren reifen Blüten, den orangefarbenen Pistillen und dieser wunderschönen Harzschicht vor mir stehen sehe, dann ist dieses letzte Update schon etwas ganz Besonderes für mich. In den vergangenen Wochen haben die Apricots noch einmal richtig schön ihre unterschiedlichen Charaktere gezeigt. Einige Blüten sind kräftig grün und unglaublich frostig geblieben, während andere wunderschöne dunkelviolette bis beinahe schwarze Farbtöne entwickelt haben – besonders an den Sugar Leaves. Zusammen mit der dicken Schicht aus Trichomen sehen einige dieser Buds im natürlichen Sonnenlicht einfach fantastisch aus. 💜❄️ Die Blüten sind inzwischen sehr schön ausgereift. Natürlich sind es nicht diese riesigen Indoor-Colas, die man unter komplett kontrollierten Bedingungen manchmal bekommt – aber genau das macht für mich den Reiz dieses Grows aus: Diese Pflanzen haben draußen gelebt. Sie haben echte Sonne bekommen, Wind erlebt, Temperaturschwankungen mitgemacht und mussten mit allem zurechtkommen, was ein richtiger Outdoor-Sommer so mit sich bringt. Und sie haben durchgezogen. 💪🌿 An den zahlreichen Ästen sitzen inzwischen überall wunderschöne, mit Harz überzogene Blüten. Gerade auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man sehr schön, wie stark mittlerweile nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die umliegenden kleinen Blätter mit Trichomen überzogen sind. 🍑✨ Was mir besonders gefällt, sind die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Blüten. Einige sind kompakt und richtig schön angeschwollen, andere zeigen diese etwas offenere typische Outdoor-Struktur. Dazu kommen einzelne Buds mit einer wunderschönen dunklen Färbung. Fast so, als würde jede Pflanze noch einmal ihre ganz eigene Interpretation dieser Genetik zeigen. In Woche 14 geht es für mich jetzt auch nicht mehr darum, die Pflanzen zu irgendetwas zu treiben. Jetzt heißt es einfach genießen, beobachten und den letzten Blüten die Zeit geben, ihre Reise zu beenden. Nach 14 Wochen ist dies deshalb der letzte reguläre Wochenbericht meiner Apricot Outdoor. Das nächste Kapitel heißt: ERNTE. ✂️🍑 Und ganz egal, was am Ende auf der Waage stehen wird – dieser Grow hat mir bereits viel mehr gegeben als nur eine Zahl. Eine komplette Outdoor-Saison, jede Menge wunderschöne Bilder und vor allem die Möglichkeit, diese Genetik vom kleinen Sämling bis hin zu einer ausgewachsenen, harzüberzogenen Pflanze unter freiem Himmel begleiten zu dürfen. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle, die diese Reise von Anfang an verfolgt haben. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Woche 14 🍑 Letzte Woche 🌿 Outdoor gewachsen ❄️ Wunderschöne Trichombedeckung 💜 Dunkle & violette Farbspiele 🧡 Viele ausgereifte orangefarbene Pistillen 🌞 Unter natürlichem Sonnenlicht gereift ✂️ Als Nächstes wartet die Ernte Ein letzter Blick auf die Apricot Girls, bevor die Schere zum Einsatz kommt. Vom Samen bis zur Blüte, vom Frühling bis in den späten Sommer… 14 Wochen Outdoor-Grow – und was für ein wunderschöner Abschluss. 🍑🌿💚 Als Nächstes: ✂️ ERNTE 🍑🏁 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑 Apricot Auto – Week 14 | The Final Outdoor Chapter 🌿🏁 And here we are… Week 14 and the final weekly update for my Apricot outdoor grow. 🍑🌿 What a journey these girls have been. Looking back at where they started and seeing them now, covered in mature flowers, orange pistils and sparkling trichomes, makes this final update something special for me. During the last weeks the Apricots have really shown their individual personalities. Some flowers stayed beautifully green and frosty, while others developed gorgeous dark purple and almost black tones, especially around the sugar leaves. Combined with the thick layer of resin, they look absolutely stunning in natural sunlight. 💜❄️ The buds have matured nicely across the plants. They may not be the gigantic indoor-style colas you sometimes see under perfect controlled conditions, but that's exactly what I love about this grow: These plants lived outside. They experienced real sun, changing temperatures, wind and everything an outdoor season brings with it — and they kept going. Several branches are now carrying a beautiful collection of resin-covered flowers, and when you get close to them you can really see how much frost has accumulated on the buds and surrounding sugar leaves. 🍑✨ One thing I especially love is the variety between the flowers. Some are chunky and compact, others have a more open outdoor structure, and a few have developed an absolutely beautiful dark phenotype. Together they make these plants look almost like a small collection of different expressions of the same genetics. For me, Week 14 isn't really about pushing them anymore. It's about appreciating what they have produced and letting the final flowers finish their journey. After 14 weeks, this will therefore be the last regular update of my Apricot outdoor diary. The next chapter will be the harvest. ✂️🍑 Whatever ends up on the scale, this grow has already given me something more important: another complete outdoor experience, lots of beautiful photographs and the chance to watch these genetics develop from tiny seedlings into mature, resin-covered plants under the open sky. A huge thank you to everyone who followed the journey from the beginning. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Week 14 🍑 Final week 🌿 Outdoor grown ❄️ Beautiful trichome coverage 💜 Gorgeous purple expressions 🧡 Mature orange pistils 🌞 Finished under natural sunlight ✂️ Harvest is next One last look at the Apricot girls before the scissors come out. From seed to flower, from spring into late summer… 14 weeks of outdoor growing — and what a beautiful way to finish. 🍑🌿💚 Next stop: ✂️ HARVEST 🍑🏁

Tercera semana de cultivo 🍀💫

I took everything out of the tent and disinfected it again. The pots have made the tent base into a ball 😅 The velcro tags fell off long ago. I decided to put some new ones on. I have some wider velcro that I would've preferred to use, I have misplaced those. Anyway, these will have to do. I also made some large pot markers to velcro to the pots, too. I figured it would be easier to recognise the plants in photos if I made some. I laminated them, then attached the velcro to the pots and pot markers. [I get bored] 😅 make everything as fun as possible 💚 I ended up finding some sticky back velcro rolls. Of course, there's no way that it would stick to a slippery surface that gets wet from humidity. So, I used my glue gun and added strips to each side of the tent liner and tent walls to hold ot in place. The 8 gallon pots are very heavy after being watered, and the liner has suffered. Hopefully, this will work to keep it in place, at least for a while! 😅 7.5.25: I also had to clean my pots, as you can see in the photos (if you want, lol). They had got very mouldy/mildewy/fungussy. 🤢 also the under side of the tent liner. So it was very lucky that I decided to clean it at this point. Or else I could have serious issues. I'll look into the ventilation as I'm not exhausting the tent because I leave the door open with very strong airflow. I did spray the plants with Trace, and I used a lot of it. So, that probably ran down the walls into the base of the tent before it dried 🤔 that could have easily caused it. I'll have to make sure I dry off the walls after I use it next time. I certainly don't want to keep cleaning everything. The plants are delicate, and unfortunately, however I try, it appears I am not. I'm always snapping branches off by just watering, let alone removing them from the tent to clean! 😅 you can imagine. Accidental defoliation? 😉 I also cleaned the light, but I have noticed on one light that there are brown spots, which won't come off without damaging the LED's. I really don't want to have to buy a new light. The par isn't great for full flowering. I just can't justify buying a new one right now, as I've already bought 2 in a year. The light has been turned up to 100%, gradually, over the course of a few days. It has been fairly warm so I moved them further away too, as i don't want them to get heat stress, as I have already noticed a few leaves canoeing and having a taco on my dime! 🤨🤔😅 I'll continue to monitor and adjust again when possible/necessary. 9.5.25: Hulkberry has certainly started her stretch! I'm really low on space to train her out, and the light has been turned up to full power. She has begun to drink more, and I gave some more dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with ♡ 1/4 tsp of Greenleaf nutrients Sea K(elp). PPM: 800 PH:6.4 I am very pleased with the recent growth spurt, so let's hope I can accommodate her! 😅 9.5.25: It's a necessity to keep the soil moist. That means I need to water more often now. Today I watered with 1.5 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: ♡ 1/5 tsp of Sea K(elp). By Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 tsp Ecothrive Biosys. PPM: 564 PH: 6.4 12.5.25: Hulkberry was very dry, surprisingly. Although I guess I've been giving her less. She was fed with a high dose of Ecothrive Trace: 7ml/7l. She was fed with 6 litres over the course of the day. PH:6.4 PPM: 515 I had added this as a foliar spray last week, and it has apparently damaged some leaves. Left some dry orange patches in the leaves. So, having that happen makes me want to just water with it. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱

So tomorrow will be day 1 of week 6. I have been out of town and not able to care for the girls like I usually do. So my PPM went a little higher than I usually have it. As you can see I have some nute burn going on. I dropped it down now and hopefully it should be smooth sailing from here. Girls are putting on some weight but really don't think I'll pull more then 3 oz per plant. All the buds are rock hard but a bit small. I do think that the quality is going to be above average. They are starting to pack on the crystals and crazy sticky. The smell at this stage is extremely strong. I had to hook my charcoal filter. My entire house was ranked when I came home from my trip. All in all these girls have been pretty easy to grow with the exception of one of the banner phenotypes. She really doesn't seem to like the higher PPM levels. But I have 1 Reservoir feeding all of them so she just has to make do LOL.
