May 15: later start as a replacement for my failure on Durban Poison. Have wanted to fit this one in for a while and should be an easy and reliable grow. Top tip for germination stage is get a heating mat. My house is usually about 18 C but cannabis, tomatoes and pepper all need it warmer to start properly. So, get a heating mat. i usually keep it at about 26 C. Next germination tip is to expose the newly sprouted seed to ethylene gas just before it first reaches light. This is a huge tip for all growers. Seed ‘priming’ using ethylene gas in dark before seedling is exposed to light. https://scitechdaily.com/accidental-discovery-how-a-whiff-of-an-unusual-chemical-transforms-seedlings-into-super-plants/ Seed priming works. I tried it last year on peppers, tomatoes and cannabis. 😎 This is as big a tip as my standard “get a pH meter”. Seed priming takes minimal effort (use a ripe apple or banana) and it certainly seems to pay off big time as shown by my last two seasons. I’ll be doing this every single time now.

The plants had been a little root-bound before transplanting them into the bigger pots, this showed in a yellowing of the leaves and a slowed growth. During week 5, now in the bigger pots, the plants are recovering quickly. The start to grow in a nice healthy green color and quickly get bigger in size. Since the light-mix has nutrients in it for appr. 2 weeks, I only add a little BIO NOVA Roots and BN-Zym to my 'FLEXITANK' reservoir. After adding the nutrients I measure the ph-value and see its 6,6. That is too high for cannabis-plant on soil, they cannot take up all nutrients at that ph-level. Therefore I use ph-min from BIO NOVA to decrease the value of the 100 liter nutrient solution in my reservoir to ph=6,0. At this ph-level the plants can take up all nutrients they need for a healthy growth. My two SANlight EVO4-120 LED-fixtures are hanging 75 cm above the plants and are tilted inwards by 11 degrees, following the recommendations of the lights manufacturer. The fixtures are dimmed to 60% of power (=1 green light ON on the dimmer) at this stage, so they plants get a nice stretch and grow into bigger plants fast.

Week 16 Day 109 and 62 in Flower today 😍 Their Mama went into dark on Day 62 of Flower, so I checked their trichomes today. They all look nearly finished, at least the top buds are all good to go. I will wait another day or two and then they will go into darkness. Next weekend will be a good time to harvest yeay ☀️ They have been fed a little water every two days for the last couple of days. Humidity has dropped quite a bit in the tent but it's still hot. Luckily temperatures are going down a little bit. Can't wait for my little rainbows 🌈 ❤️ Day 111 and 64 in Flower, one last day with light 😍 Added some trich shots of one the clones. Good call to send them into darkness. And guys, the colours aaaaaaaaaaaaah 😍😍😍

August 28 is officially day 1 for me. Every single one of these popped easily and came out of the soil with zero issues. The seedling stage stresses me out so I’m glad things are already off to a good start. Toking one down for good luck *puff puff pass*.

In attesa di piu piante in fuore qui vedi fast C.M

Happy belated Day 100 my dear Clones, today is Day 101 and 54 of Flower 🌹😍❤️ Another week and we should be good to harvest. Had a first look at her trichomes, milky with some clear. Bring it on my sweet sugar ✌️ And look at that beautiful rainbow 🌈 Always stunned by the sheer beauty of those plants, this one in particular 😍 Day 104 and 57 in Flower, just more rainbows. Watered with pure water, they still drink a lot... Let's see, will have to check the trichomes soon. Can't wait ❤️

📝 Blüte Tag 36 ? Der Stretch hat aufgehört und die Blüten werden langsam dicker. 🍒 Critical Cherry hat ihren Wasserverbrauch erhöht. Sie bekommt jetzt alle 2 Tage 1,2L Wasser. Die anderen wie gehabt 1L alle 3 Tage. Bei allen wird der Geruch allmählich sehr stark. Riecht auf jeden Fall lecker 😋 💡 Das Licht habe ich auf 80% Leistung hochgeschraubt. Die Pflanzen scheinen das gut zu vertragen. 📊 Seit dieser Woche ist mein Luftentfeuchter auch aktiv um die RLF zu senken. Ziel ist, so weit wie möglich unter 50% zu kommen. Aktuell ist es schwer, da es hier täglich regnet. Wird hoffentlich in den nächsten 1-2 Wochen besser. Temperatur aktuell 25 - 26 °C tagsüber.

Just a video of the girlies

Day 60: cookies gelato 1: in the shape of tennis balls, and a golf ball, magnificent, 268 grams wet🇺🇸🔥. Cookies gelato 2: 197,6 grams Wet🇺🇸🔥 Cookies gelato 3: 217,7 grams wet🇺🇸🔥

Tag 26: getoppt bei 5 Nodien. Tag 29: Beginn LST.

Flushing the bigger girl since day 140. Harvested the smaller girl on day 141, but will show you the results after I harvest the other one. I had a little of it, but I had cut some branches to smoke some weed previously!

Day 73....gave her a flush today with some ph6.0 water. I'm noticing some spots on some of her leaves(I'll share more pictures of them). There's white hairs everywhere. So that deficiency might be a low pH. I don't know why my medium is getting so acidic. Did a flush and added some lime, it helped the last time. Hopefully I see this plant through flowers. Day 76....this plant is just loving life right now. Bus sites are getting bigger day by day. There's at least 10 bud sites, hopefully they all turn out to be fat and sticky. Day 77... doing good, no complains. Had a low pH run off earlier this week but I fixed asap.

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 🌱✨ They’re looking very well.

07/09: Transplanted Red Mandarine into 7 gal and both CCCBD & Do-si-do went into 5 gals. Fed all the plants as well with just Herb Thrive Veg Planted two Auto Bubblegums from T.H Seeds as well.

Hmmm, I'm growing her right beside a strain from a famous breeder that's nearly 50 bucks a seed (I've grown 3 of those so far, and all 3 hermied, so even the famous breeders apparently aren't stress-testing!) and a Blue Cheese. The Blue Cheese's buds are half the size of the other two plants. So, all in all, this is a raging success. My strain is beating the other two by miles. Hopefully it smokes well...

Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

The plants seem to be growing very fast very strong. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

She is almost ready ;)

Meine drei Apricot Automatic entwickeln sich weiterhin hervorragend und haben die Blüte inzwischen vollständig eingeleitet. An allen drei Pflanzen erscheinen täglich neue, strahlend weiße Pistillen und die ersten Blütenstände beginnen sich an jedem Trieb sichtbar aufzubauen. Es ist jedes Mal faszinierend zu beobachten, wie schnell sich die Ladies jetzt verändern. Obwohl jede Pflanze ihren ganz eigenen Wuchs zeigt, entwickeln sich alle drei ausgesprochen gesund und vital. Eine der Damen hat aktuell etwas mehr Stretch hingelegt und übernimmt langsam die Führung in der Höhe, während ihre beiden Schwestern mit einer schönen, kompakten Struktur und zahlreichen Blütenansätzen überzeugen. Genau diese unterschiedlichen Wuchsformen machen den Grow besonders spannend. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen zahlt sich nun richtig aus. Die Seitentriebe sind hervorragend verteilt und bekommen reichlich Sonnenlicht, wodurch sich viele gleichmäßig belichtete Budsites entwickeln können. Genau das war das Ziel und ich freue mich sehr über das bisherige Ergebnis. Auch gesundheitlich gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Alle drei Pflanzen zeigen ein kräftiges, sattes Grün, stabile Triebe und keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress oder Nährstoffmängeln. Das Plagron-Düngeschema versorgt sie weiterhin zuverlässig mit allem, was sie für eine kräftige Blütenentwicklung benötigen. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase des gesamten Grows. Der Stretch nähert sich langsam seinem Ende und schon bald wird die komplette Energie in den Aufbau dichter, harziger Blüten fließen. Ich bin schon jetzt gespannt, wie intensiv sich das typisch süße Apricot-Aroma bei jeder einzelnen Pflanze entwickeln wird und wie unterschiedlich sich die drei Schwestern bis zur Ernte präsentieren. Ein riesiges Dankeschön geht wieder an Fast Buds für diese fantastische Genetik und natürlich an Plagron für die perfekte Nährstoffversorgung während des gesamten Grows. Ich freue mich schon auf Blütewoche 3! 🍑💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All three of my Apricot Automatic plants are progressing beautifully and have now fully entered the flowering stage. Fresh white pistils continue to appear every day, and flower sites are becoming more visible across all three plants. It's amazing to watch how quickly they are changing now. Although each plant has developed its own unique growth pattern, all three are looking extremely healthy and vigorous. One lady has stretched a little more and is currently leading in height, while her two sisters are staying slightly more compact with plenty of promising bud sites. These individual differences make the grow even more exciting. The training from the previous weeks is really paying off now. The branches are well spread, allowing sunlight to reach every potential bud site. This creates a balanced canopy where each flower has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. Health-wise, I couldn't be happier. All three plants display rich green foliage, strong branches, and absolutely no signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies. The Plagron feeding schedule continues to provide everything they need for vigorous flower development. Now the most exciting part of the grow begins. The stretch is slowly coming to an end, and soon all of their energy will be focused on building dense, resin-covered flowers. I'm already looking forward to seeing how the famous sweet Apricot aroma develops in each of the three sisters and how differently they will express their genetics by harvest time. A huge thank you once again to Fast Buds for this outstanding genetic and to Plagron for providing the perfect nutrition throughout the entire grow. I can't wait to see what Flower Week 3 will bring! 🍑💚
