Some light defoliation this week to hopefully get more airflow and encourage upward growth before flowering sets in. (already well underway), might go heavier next week. Got some nasty visitor chewing my leaves, but not aphid or mites, possibly cricket or beetle... monitoring.

Hello Diary. We have reached the 9th week, 6 weeks of flowering and are slowly coming to an end. My estimate is another week until harvest, although the flowers look different on Mimosa # 1 and Mimosa # 2, the appearance of the trichome tells me it will soon be time to harvest. Most trichomes are milky and now I am waiting for the brown ones to start appearing. It’s a sign to me that it’s harvest time. Along with Mimosa, there is also a Sherbet Queen on the "Farm", so it's quite crowded in the grow-box. That's why it became quite difficult for me to take them out of the grow box so as not to damage them. So this week I only photographed Mimosa # 2 on a black background while I take photo of Mimosa # 1 inside the grow box. The color of the leaves slightly takes on a lighter green color which slowly becomes yellowish, the flowers are nicely filled as far as Mimosa # 2 is concerned, although it grew almost 120 cm high and the lower branches were quite far from the light. Bending clips helped a lot by throwing the branches outwards and thus giving them more light. The branches are heavy under the weight of the flowers so I had to tie it a bit to a stick. As for Mimosa # 1, the flowers are full of trichomes, the smell is divine, much stronger than in Mimosa # 2, but the flowers remained small and airy, not filling and hardening. Probably most of the flowers will go into the trim. Due to the height of the plants that are inside my 180 cm tall grow-box, the lights are much closer to the top of the plant than recommended by Migro, but I didn’t notice that their light is too strong, so bravo Migro. The temperature was high this week, around 30 degrees, and this is caused by the great heat outside which was above average this week. Humidity is a little above 50%, which is more than would be ideal, the cause is also heat, so the soil evaporates more and releases moisture. I have two fans that blow for 24 hours and thus prevent the potential occurrence of mold or similar problems. Ventilation also works at maximum power. Watering is still every two days, and more or less that’s all that happened this week, I’m patiently waiting for the harvest. Here is a brief overview of the week. 11/07/2021 - Day 57. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water, p.H I adjusted to 6.4 and watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 30 degrees and 50% humidity. 13/07/2021 - Day 59. Watering. Same procedure as two days earlier. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 31 degrees and 55% humidity. 15/07/2021 - Day 61. Watering. p.H - 6.2 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 30 degrees and 53% humidity. 17/07/2021 - Day 63. Watering and photography. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 30 degrees and 60% humidity. That’s it for this week, we’ll see more of what it will look like next week but it will very likely be harvesting all three plants at the same time. Until then, enjoy.

The heads are starting to swell now , the lowers are looking undeveloped still. I might do a little defoliation to let in some more light next week. I’ve noticed the first bit of change in a couple of the old lower fan leaves this week. At this stage I’m not too concerned. Buds are frosty, sticky and dank smelling.

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur 26. und damit zu meiner letzten Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Was war das für eine Reise, liebe Growcommunity, von Höhen bis Tiefen war alles dabei …😁 Nachdem letzte Woche fast alle Pflanzen gefällt wurden, ist heute der Lemon Tree dran. Die Ernte-Reports lade ich im Laufe der nächsten Tage hoch, da ich immer noch eine Kleinigkeit zu den einzelnen Strains und ihrem Anbauverhalten schreiben möchte. In diesem Report möchte ich die Saison noch einmal kurz Revue passieren lassen und eine kleine Aussicht auf zukünftige Projekte geben. Zur Saison: Was anfangs mit einem Indoor-Disaster begann, hat sich über den doch an manchen Stellen (mal wieder) eher bescheidenen Sommer zu einem doch ganz passablen Ernteergebnis mit 7(9) doch sehr unterschiedlichen und auf ihre Art besonderen Genetiken entwickelt. Ich habe diese 26 Wochen viel ausprobiert und doch echt noch eine ganze Menge über diese vielseitige Pflanze gelernt (und das, obwohl ich den Spaß schon ein bisschen mache). Und trotz allem werde ich. Ich werde mich doch wahrscheinlich etwas aus dem Outdoor-Game zurückziehen und das hat folgende Gründe: Ein entscheidender Punkt ist einfach der Grund, dass man wenig bis gar keinen Einfluss auf die Witterung hat und nie wirklich das volle Potenzial der Genetiken ausschöpfen kann. Sei es unerwarteter Regen, zu kalte Nächte oder der gute alte Sturm. Die Kombination mit der langen Kultivierungszeit ist doch oft eher mit Glücksspiel verbunden. Des Weiteren werde ich für die kommende Saison umziehen und den Spot (der wirklich die möglichst optimalen Bedingungen schafft) erst mal nicht bespielen. Zudem ergeben sich für das kommende Jahr viele Veränderungen und ich werde wahrscheinlich nicht die Zeit für so ein Projekt haben. Aber wir werden sehen... Was ich auf jeden Fall beibehalten werde, sind diese kleinen Reports jede Woche und der Austausch mit den Leuten auf dieser Seite. Ich habe mich über jede Rückmeldung eurerseits gefreut sowie über das wirklich positive Feedback. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei euch allen bedanken, dass ihr mich auf diesem Weg begleitet habt, und hoffe, ihr hattet dabei genauso viel Spaß wie ich. Wenn der ein oder andere noch etwas mitnehmen konnte, noch besser!😊 In der Zukunft wird es hier (Stand jetzt) eher in Richtung Indoor/Living gehen. Einfach weil man mehr Einfluss auf die Klimaparameter hat und schlichtweg mehr aus den Genetiken rausholen kann (zumindest bei solchen Sommern wie diesem und letztem). Was die Genetiken angeht, wird es spannend bleiben. Während dieser Bericht lief, habe ich im Hintergrund fleißig Seeds gehortet. Und so haben sich das ein oder andere Päckchen aus dem Hause Karma Genetics (dem Master of Sours) sowie sq1 genetics + deren Schwesterfirma Robin Hood Seeds zu der Sammlung gesellt. Ob es jetzt genau die werden (oder doch eine von den gefühlt 2000 anderen Packs), kann ich euch allerdings noch nicht versprechen.😁 Ich denke auch darüber nach, mir einen Instagram-Account für Bilder und Videos in einer besseren Auflösung zu erstellen (nichts für ungut, Grow Diaries, aber manchmal sehen die Bilder aus, als hätte man sie mit einer versteckten Kamera aufgenommen). Aber was man so hört, bringt Instagram da auch seine Tücken mit sich. Aber auch hier werden wir sehen … Da ich keinen richtigen Ernteslot für die Blueberry sowie die Theia S1 habe. Füge ich sie diesem Bericht bei. Ein bisschen traurig bin ich ja schon, dass es jetzt zu Ende geht, aber gedanklich bin ich ehrlich gesagt schon bei der Planung neuer Projekte (man muss ja in Bewegung bleiben). Ich will einige Sachen in meinem Bericht stilistisch verändern, sowie die Aufbereitung der Berichte. Für den Anfang bin ich aber ganz zufrieden. Das soll es ein letztes Mal gewesen sein ( das klingt so endgültig, ist es aber nicht). Noch einmal ein großes Dankeschön an jeden, der das hier begleitet hat. Mögt ihr immer eure Traum-VPD halten und dem Schimmel fernbleiben …😊 Peace!!

Welcome to my first growreport. For this particular run i chose to grow three plants: A monstercropped clone of a Tangerine Sherbet, a small near dead SFV OG x Purps seedling (both by Growers Choice NL) which survived unexpectedly and a Mimosa x Orange Punch seedling (Barneys Farm). The smallest monstercropped clone in the tent will be a mother for the future and won't be run this cycle. Both Mimosa and Tangerine Sherbet were planted in Autopots with a 70/30 Coco-Perlite-Mix, fitted with the Airbase and the optional Airdome. The SFV OG x Purps sits in a 1.5L Pot with the same media as mentioned before and will be handwatered for the whole run. They currently sit under a 120w 3500K standard Quantum Board, which isn't too powerful but also not perfect for the Veg-Cycle. I suspect that the small leaves and the short internodal spacing on the Mimosa x Orange Punch is caused by the wavelength of this light.

So I had absolutely no ill effect on the plants at at all moving from the green buzz veg feed too the house & garden soil a&b feeds, I did not even given them a water only inbetween the two, I also went straight in with 50% the recommended dose stated on the house & Gardens bottles this switched happened the day before week 5 none showed any signed of defects or deficiency intact they exploded into life over night and then every day after that, I have been using the green buzz fast buds as a folar spry appied too the leaves of the early flower formation after lights out, They seemed too love that too and I also kept the note roots going in, I also started too apply C-RESULT at the fullbl dose stated on the bottle, The plants live this stuff if you have not tried it do it, I am not sponcered by c-result I was given this by my local grow store, It brings all the nutrients straight too the roots it states, All I know is this stuff triggers the plants too suck the pots dry in 24 hours, So make sure you have your feed bucket fully in order before adding this stuff as a mistake here could cost you, But get it right and in 24 hours these little autos doubled in size, It states too used week one of flower only and smells like a sewer lol I have today day one of week 6 Started too add house & garden Bud XL at half strength too increase next week and also I added there top shooter at 1ml per liter of water as 7 as I plan too removed all chemicals exactly as of day 1 of week 7 leaving me week 9 clean, I am training all the shooting tips too my scrog netting the best I can due too very limited space in the grow space, And am praying for some of the promised purple leaves on the fast buds Web site, I did not too these this time, I has on lemon pie this round that is 2 weeks behind the rest due too non germination but I am wondering if a staggered planting each plant exactly one week behind each other would give me a little more canapé space and the treat of harvesting a plant every week, Using the skyline 1000 only I did not too any of these autos 2 x strawberry cheese cake 2 x lemon pie 4 x fyah Sounds like a plan too me, Thanks for reading

Can’t get any of my pics to turn out so here’s a video of some bud porn. Hopefully hitting the swell phase soon. Started adding h202 and developed a bit of nute burn. Will correct that in the upcoming week.

Медленно, но уверено мы выходим на финишную прямую - начинают формироваться бутоны. Изменил базовое питание в сторону увеличения дозы фосфора. А еще у меня радостная новость - как раз на цветение подъехала лампа с досветом красного(10 диодов BrigeLux DeepRed на отдельной планке), за что огромное спасибо бро TrollShaman, зацените его репорт, там много интересного.👆 Теперь у меня три лампы, более подробно про весь свет расскажу на следующей неделе. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

9/11 Week 22 Looking better seem to have closed the Phos hole in my nuets, in the future pots will be amended with it from the start. 9/13 Weather degrading (heh relative term) plan to harvest Poly on next spat of "good" weather, Zona couple of weeks tops. Poly water only but there is plenty of nuets in that pot. 9/14 No decent sun today at all, high humidity forecast is saying it just gets worse from here (heh like those guys know) but if true I need to harvest poly ahead of it which may mean tomorrow. Decide then see if forecasts change. Next year things will be different damit 9/15 Day 146 of the grow and Poly's last day Weather is entirely the reason for taking her a bit early, wanted to prep her a bit more but thats life in the outdoors. She has a beautiful day for her last, she was never any trouble and grew well, I am glad to have grown her, she is a good girl. Pics and vid to follow, Zona will go as long as we are able as she will hopefully get better weather in a few days after the coming mess departs.

Harvested these girls at the 9 week Mark I could have pushed another week or so but there were amber trichomes and the temp were getting crazy in the wardrobe this time of year but everything had turned out sweet! The girls look and smell amazing frost everywhere. Forbidden runtz is still growing see how she goes. Fastbuds are reliable ❄️💣

Start of week 9, lots of leave are dying, but there was bud growth during the previous week. This will be the last feeding before flushing next Sunday. Some of thehe branches are very heavy, they twist and bend if not supported, hopefully that is a sign of bud weight and not weak stems.

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Chapter One: The Germination Adventure Greetings, fellow cultivators and green-thumb enthusiasts! Today, I embark on a thrilling journey with the illustrious Apolo F1 from the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds. A hearty shoutout to @James and RQS for entrusting me with this botanical endeavor! Our mission begins with a ceremonial soaking – a 24-hour baptism in water. Picture this: the seed, poised on the edge of germination, absorbing life essence like a tiny horticultural superhero gearing up for a mission to conquer the soil. After this aqueous initiation, our Apolo F1 found a cozy spot nestled in a Soil Plug sponge. Why, you ask? Well, these sponges are like the first-class cabins of germination – providing a soft bed for our sprouting champion. No Spartan conditions for our future ganja greatness! Lo and behold, in a mere 24 hours, our little seedling emerged from its watery cocoon, showing off a minuscule tail that screamed readiness for action. It's like witnessing the birth of a botanical superhero, cape and all! Now, onto the supporting cast – Aptus Holland Nutrients, my loyal sponsors in this quest. These nutrients are the unsung heroes of my garden, the Gandalfs to my Frodo, guiding the way to a prosperous harvest.

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.
