All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

Probably the most amazing week so far. Plants are showing some exceptional growing rate and first full scent apeared. Simple and steady week regarding feeding. Did 3 days and 500ml per time. Had about 10% runoff with 6,2ph. Till only 3 days ago decided not to top the plants. Since it is the first grow I donโ€™t want to go too complex. And it seems that a good LST will do the work. Found out a way how to tie them down without drilling the holes. Will check how it performs over time. My youngest one is in good week 2. Still keeping it under a 5l plastic water bucket. Slow but strong grow. Turned both my lights to 61%. They seem pretty happy about it as the grow is eye-visible each day.

March 27, 2019: For the most part everything is moving along nicely. I transplanted the autos into 3 gallon fabric pots over the weekend. The transplant went well, no damage. I also moved 2 of the autos into my flowering room under 12/12 HPS. The other 2 will remain in the veg tent under 18/6 LED. I'm also running a separate diary specifically on the how the autos compare in the different environments (check it out). The CBD Medi Kush and DinaMed CBD+ have taken off in the flower room. They are both about 30 inches now. The Cherry Hemp plants stretched nicely also, but are growing shorter and bushier overall. So far I have to say I'm impressed with how things are going in the flower room. The organic methods appear to be working very well. The plants all look super healthy, no signs of any deficiencies and the leaves are all the perfect shade of green - not too dark and not too light. My baby clones are not doing as good. These clones definitely look like they suffered from overwatering (oops). It looks like there will be a few survivors, but I'll probably lose about half of them.

Fruity Pebbles in blue planet nutrition has grown really nice. She has a good fruity, sweet aroma. Loaded in trichromes, and looks like she will give me roughly a good quarter lb or more in a dry yield. Everything went fairly well in the grow. No major issue I can think of.

The Runtz plant is moving along it does have a really weird growth pattern I almost wandering if I have a deformed seedling the roots are very healthy giant big white roots shorting out the bottom the pot but canโ€™t seem to get the leaves to look healthy they are very sensitive to hum This week was very smooth sailing I topped all the plants this week.

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 1: The Verdant Odyssey Begins Greetings, fellow cultivators and horticultural aficionados! Our Apolo F1 has successfully sprouted its green wings and embarked on the adventurous journey of vegetative growth. Strap in for a thrilling week 1 report that's as lush and comprehensive as the foliage we're nurturing. This week, our verdant hero underwent a transplant into a tiny pot filled with a soil and Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. Now, let's delve into the magical world of Mycor Mix. Picture this mix as the Avengers of the soil, with various species of endomycorrhizae joining forces. They're fixed on a vegetal carrier, not unlike a botanical superhero's ride, feeding and protecting these fungi, ensuring they're ready to go to work for our Apolo F1. Now, let's talk watering โ€“ a crucial aspect of our plant's well-being. Here, I turn to my trusty sponsors, Aptus Holland, for their nutrient line. The star of the show this week is Regulator, a concoction containing Mono-silicic acid (Si), Boron (B), and Molybdenum (Mo). Si acts as a nutrient transporter, while B enhances calcium uptake and fiber production. Meanwhile, Mo plays the role of a botanical Uber, moving nitrogen from lower to upper leaves with finesse. But that's not all โ€“ our plant's diet includes CaMg-Boost, a luxurious 0.5ml/l concoction. This organo-mineral plant booster is the VIP treatment for preventing calcium and magnesium deficiencies, ensuring our Apolo F1 develops powerful fruit set and reaches the pinnacle of quality. The nutrient symphony continues with All-in-One Liquid, a 100% mineral-based fertilizer that's the maestro of all mediums and systems. Its unique manufacturing process renders it pH-variation insensitive, a testament to its resilience in a wide pH-range throughout the vegetative phase to flowering/maturation. And let's not forget the organic touch with Startbooster at 0.25ml/l โ€“ the secret sauce for stimulating root system development and vegetative growth. It's like giving our Apolo F1 a botanical energy drink, ensuring it's in top form for the journey ahead. Our green prodigy is currently basking under the protective dome, a symbol of pride in this early stage of growth. It's like watching a seedling transform into a robust plant, and I couldn't be prouder. Before we wrap up this week's report, I must extend a heartfelt shoutout to @James and Royal Queen Seeds for blessing me with the Apolo F1, to Aptus Holland for being the guardians of my plant's nutrition, and to Grow Diaries for providing the digital amphitheater where our horticultural exploits can unfold. Stay tuned for more chapters in our Apolo F1 Mission Diary โ€“ where we'll witness the magic of botanical alchemy and the evolution of our green companion. Happy growing, fellow cultivators! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS APOLLO F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO โ€จFood - APTUS HOLLAND โ€จ โ€จAll info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://www.royalqueenseeds.com โ€จโ€จhttps://aptus-holland.com/โ€จ โ€จhttps://autopot.co.uk/ โ€จโ€จhttps://lumatek-lighting.com/ With true love comes happiness <3<3<3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3<3<3 <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3

Iโ€™ve seen some amazing veg growth this week.These beautiful girls have been getting some LST all week and have developed lots of new colas.I have been watering around every 3-4 days plain water last two waterings so recharge will be added when the pots are dry.They have done extremely well taking in the Gaia green 4-4-4 and have huge fan leaves. Day 32 These girls are still showing lot of growth and I noticed the first sign of flower development with the Lemon cherry cookies.I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4 1 tbs and 3 tbs of Gaia green power bloom.Rubbed gently in the soil and watered with recharge tea.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 50 percent and I leave it there for another week or so.I have not done any defoliation but they really need it as they are getting really bushy.

New week, new growth. So we have done another defoliation to allow the lower shoots to be exposed to the lights which equal to a better yield come flower time, they always need a day or 2 recover after being put under any stress, especially if its an extreme amount of leaves being taken off. They were also lollipoped to clear up and messy under growth and to improve airflow under the canopy. I also took clones from each of these. Paying close attention to the EC and pH. Increasing and decreasing as and when I need to going off what the plants show me. Close to flower now. A few days to go! Stay tuned and feel free to follow my instagram and youtube channel for a closer look. Peace x

It was a good week, with some good growth. The ladies have settled in and are a starting to reach up. Iโ€™ve been keeping the environment steady at about 78 degrees, and 60-62% humidity. It goes down to about 70 degrees at night. Iโ€™ve been watering sparingly still, about 1 cup of water every third day. Near the end of the week they were getting 2 cups and have lasted more than two days without showing they are needing again. I decreased the light schedule to 18 hours, and they seem to be benefiting from the dark cycle, or less DLI. LST will start next week! Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‘Šโค๏ธ

It was getting quite hot in the tent, however after adding a fan just in 2 minutes temperature dropped to 27. Also now i realize LST was too early, some of the small leaves are damaged, however plant overall looks very healthy and strong. Added supporting structure with bamboo sticks for LST and used softer material for it. Plant looks quite even for now.
