Week 3: Vegetative Stage – Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. I’ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos. By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which I’m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plant’s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action. On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger. Current Setup: Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant Lights: DLI set to 22 Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek) Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

March 7, 2019 Update: These babies are doing great! I plan on transplanting 6 plants and moving them into the flowering room this weekend. As of right now my plan is to move 1 Medi Kush CBD, 1 DinaMed CBD and 4 Cherry Hemp plants into flower. I'm going to pick the largest/most developed plants for the move. Then I'll keep the rest in veg for another month, next month I'll pick the next 6. I'd like to get the plants on a monthly rotation so I can be harvesting monthly.

Popped seeds 👨🏼‍🌾

Die Woche ist die gute Weihnachtszucker-Glasur mehr und mehr geworden. Meine Damen fangen an Ihren Zucker mehr und mehr zu zeigen. Die ersten Haare färben sich auch langsam braun. Ich musste die Woche wenig machen und habe mich beschränkt auf das gießen ohne Hesi um ihnen die Woche so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Die Temperatur ist super und ich muss sagen die LED überrascht mich immer noch sehr sehr stark. Ich werde später noch Tagesaufnahme von den Pflanzen reinsetzen. Ich kann manchmal gar nicht meine Augen von der natürlichen Schönheit der Pflanzen nehmen. Ich wünsche alle einen schönen 1.Advent.

Bloom 37 The weather is starting to get colder. Unfortunately, I cannot raise the temperature. but it's still going well for now. next watering overdrive.

Found mould on both autoflowers so I've taken them both down to save what was left,, Bloody humidity and lack of sun 🙄

Day 38-45 (Day 39) Almost overnight, nearly a third of the white pistils turned red. Not sure if this is something do with environment but it wouldn’t surprise me if it had something to do with the feeding I gave it yesterday. Who knows (Day 42) I was going to give a fat defoliation today but I’m second guessing myself. I might take a few of the leaves that are sitting on top of each other but that’s it. After that, I’m on cruise control until the end. I’m watering in a gallon every other day and 1 day off when they look a little overwatered. All plants look happy and herm free. Bud size is still lacking overall. In my experience, buds don’t really swell that much after day 45ish so this is pretty much it. Can’t say I’m too happy but I’m certain the quality will be on point. (Day 43) I’m seeing a little more fade each day now. It’s almost pinkish right now. (Day 45) I’ve been taking a few leaves per plant every couple days or so. Once I can see that almost every budsite has adequate light I will stop. Just for good measure, I’m going to give a final feeding of seaweed extract. We still have 2 weeks of fattening up to do and they could definitely use a K surplus. And since this is a water soluble nute nothing is lingering and breaking down for more than a few days. Earlier in the season I had a seedsman white widow and a local m39 plant I was going to flower if I got less than 4 female BBB’s. I was lucky enough to get 5 so I gave the insurance 2 plants to a family member. M39 is now done after 60 days of flowering. And the white widow, which was really stunted is going another 10 days at least. Both plants were flowered in a closet under 2 cheap amazon blurples totaling about 200w. They were in 1.7 gallon pots with amended soil nearly their whole lives. They were only top dressed once around day 30 of flower. M39 must be a low feeder because it really didn’t get any deficiencies after it left my hands. It was consistently the most vigorous plant in the tent during veg too. From what I understand, it has the classic fruity m39 smell and because it’s not grown with paclobutrazol it’s not freakishly dense. Awesome. I will post some more pics and report on the smoke once it’s dried.

6/9 315am 6/10 9am 1868 All hope is lost, the War of Northern Aggression has been lost the ratification of Fourteenth Amendment has somehow passed, a cursed future at best awaits us...... Oh wait wrong diary..... FUCKING GREAT.... She LOVES the new light!!! 6/13 2am. got a little messed up order of pictures, she's doing GREAT

All are going strong, zkittles OG auto is nearly 30cm bigger than the rest and has started showing bud sites, the rest are not far behind at all. I think they will be into flowering stage at the end of next week and by then hopefully 30-40cm taller. Do si dos is very different, looks short and stout so will be doing some LST on her. Seems to be happy with the nutrients and strengthening nicely. Added another 600w light on 11/12/20 so 3 600w lights in now.

Plants are looking good. Hope they get a little thiccer.

Day 127. Chop day !!!! Zkittalicious #6 is my first plant without any airy or small bud !!!! Plus he will be like others in 100g range ... #2 should beat all single plant records ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Test

week intel: we had some dear guests of family from foreign country to meet again after years so i had to make some free space for their stuff therefore girls are going to be gusts too for a week in their neighbors home :D some times unpredicted things happen you must be ready to change at any time , so i moved some and chopped off weak ones stresses : E.C stress around 1.2 3 times per week feeding: replaced b-52 with Bloom base nutrient i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 631 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them high dose of Top-Max + Bloom Base nutrient around 600 ppm - 1.2 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 630 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause stress this last week guide of the week : we are in the final phases of this run , i'm happy about quality but depressed about quantity :D

Bienvenidos a la semana #5 Inicia la floración a tope! 😀 😑 🙏 😂 Día 32 (12/06) Las plantas se muestran sedientas.- CC, RB, OF1 = 250 ml H2O pH ajustado con Biogrow, Biobloom y Top Max- NL =  500 ml H2O pH ajustado con Biogrow, Biobloom y Top Max ¡Pasan la noche en indoor por la amenaza de lluvias! Día 33 (13/06) No ha hecho demasiado calor pero se muestran muy sedientas! (excepto OF1)Duplicamos el riego y vigilamos- CC, RB = 500 ml H2O pH ajustado- NL =  1 litro H2O pH ajustado Pasan mitad de día en exterior y mitad de día en interior por lluvias torrenciales Día 34 (14/06) Ajustes de LST, pero se nota que las plantas ya están en floración, porque los tallos y ramas son mucho más duros (menos flexibles) Ya ha salido el sol y parece que vamos a tener muchos días soleados por delante!    😀 Día 35 (15/06) Riego- CC, RB = 500 ml H2O pH ajustado con Bio-Grow - NL = 1 litro H2O pH ajustado Día 36 (16/06) Se detecta un par de orugas verdes en CC y NL y se eliminanSe hace aplicación foliar de aceite de neem y jabón potásico a todas las plantas Hago lolippoping en las ramas más bajas de las OF1. Ya son bastante pequeñas, así que dediquen su energía a las ramas principales...  Día 37 (17/06) Es impresionante el vigor que muestran Crystal Candy XL y Royal Bluematic. Crecen varios centímetros al día  😀 Los colores entre morado y púrpura casi negro de la Crystal Candy son espectaculares! 😀 Northern Lights se ha quedado más pequeña, y de las Orion F1 me esperaba algo más... 😑 Veremos si los próximos días ambas strains me dan Una sorpresa y se estiran. Inspirado en @deFharo, hago mulching con corteza de pino para evitar la evaporación por las altas temperaturas que tengo en la terraza.  Humedezco la parte superior del sustrato con spray y hago un riego con agua pH ajustado con Bio-Grow, BioBloom y Top Max en las siguientes cantidades:CC, OF1 y RB = 250 mlNL = 500 ml Gracias por leerme y buenos humos! 😀

Did some defoliation very light just made sure nothing is blocking the lower nodes to much but other than that been feeding heavy then watering with just cal mag for two waterings then heavy. Next watering will be a 900 to 950 ppm mix.

I deliberately sent my 2 ladies into flower 2 months earlier. roughly the 12/12h rule. Sometimes it was 10 hours in the sun, but sometimes 12 hours. In my region it will soon be rainy and cold. I'm toying with the idea of harvesting them before I catch mold or something else. The trichomes are all milky. About 15-20% amber colored.

Cruising through the week. Stopped stretching around 4 ft 1 inch. From measuring from top of soil to the top. Such a beautiful plant. Dark purple on all the leaves. Bud sites are really starting to come in now. Going be a nice yield. So happy to have gotten the purple pheno. Beyond thrilled. Currently she getting fed every 2 days about about a gal of water each time. I 4 grams of mega crop 2 gram of sweet candy 1 gram bud explosion Ppms at runoff using my Tds meter is 2250. I usually keep this high during early and mid flowering then towards then boost it up until I notice some burning then cut back with water. No issues at the moment everything seems to be growing fairly smoothly :). Another 4 weeks should be close to harvest ^_^
