Semana 6 (7-13 de mayo)(días 36 - 42) Contentos con como va la cosa, retiramos alguna hoja tocada y poco mas. 😊😊 11/5/2020 El ultimo riego fue bastante heavy y podemos ver como las puntas muestran signos de sobrefertilicacion ,por tanto este riego va a ser más suave. Teniendo en cuenta que sufrimos el problema de quedarnos sin fertilizantes y que nuestro proovedor debido a la situación actual del covid tiene el asunto complicado tocaremos con lo que tenemos. Hoy toca riego en el que usamos 40l ñara 22 plantas. Los riegos se realizan en garrafas de 10l por lo que los valores varían en función de las plantas. (Valores • l) • 1gr de biogreen flower boost + 1ml calcio max + 1ml Mg PH: 5 94 EC: 1.21 T h2O: 18,5°C • 1gr de biogreen flower boost + 1ml calcio max + 1ml Mg + 0.2ml Final solution PH: 5 84 EC: 1.00 T h2O: 18°C • 1gr de biogreen flower boost + 1ml calcio max + 1ml Mg + 0.2 Final Solution PH: 5 81 EC: 1.18 T h2O: 17,3°C • 1gr de biogreen flower boost + 1ml calcio max + 1ml Mg PH: 6 EC: 1.44 T h2O: 17,2°C Para algunas variedades como la Bubba y la Barney Kid será su último riego con fertilizantes, a partir de ahora haremos riegos com flush hasta el momento de corte para que no queden restos en nuestras flores en el momento final. Al resto sin embargo les quedará alrededor de 3/4 semanas por lo menos. Esto sigue avanzando y se siguen formando nuevas flores pero esperemos que esto no tarde mucho en engordar, porque a pesar de que se que son de floración larga me da la sensación de que podrían estar mejor, no se si debido al cambio de nutrientes y de que no estoy cubriendo todas las necesidades que tienen. A pesar de todos tenemos unas Orange sherbert que pintan increíbles, una berry mint potente, dos chocolate mint OG que dan ganas de comérsela... Por comentar que ayer dejo de funcionarios uno de los focos 😔 tras echarle un ojo y hacer unas pruebas comprobamos que el fallo era del cable y ya esta solucionando 😁😁 Estoy disfrutando mucho con este cultivo y aprendiendo de los fallos, sólo viendo como van y con las cosas que he aprendido no veo el momento de comenzar con el siguiente cultivo, pero paso a paso 🤗 Por cierto estos últimos días la temperatura a bajado bastante por el mal tiempo lo que nos ha venido genial para estabilizar la temperatura en unos 25/26°C en ON y 22/23°C en OFF. Estos días atrás rondaba más los 28/29°C llegando en algún momento a 30. Un poco de frescura para el huerto. Y por último, pero no menos importante. Mi pareja, a la que tanto quiero, me va a dejar su móvil para sacar fotos. La diferencia es abismal por lo que intentaremos mejorar la cantidad de nuestro contenido para el bien de todos 😁😁

Pretty average growth, the leaves are a little funky. I am trying to keep the soil from drying out to a crisp. Plant 1 is taller, Plant 2 is shorter with leaves a little further along.

All plants are doing very well.. Will see in the morning how it went with transplant.. Lol

Week 6 Flower — Sundae Driver (deep dive) Quick recap — From seed to Week 6 • Germination: Pillbox + water enriched with Aptus Regulator / Start Booster; three seeds, two kept. • Early transplant: Seedlings moved directly into final 11 L fabric pots with a living / amended super-soil (Janeco Light Mix + Aptus line + mycorrhizae, substrate buffer, micro-mix). • Short veg: Minimal veg time (early transplant strategy), light training (leaf-tucking) and one deliberate supercrop to control a “moon-shot” top. • Flower flip: You used an 11/13 light schedule to encourage a firm, fast transition into flower. • Now: Week 6 of flower — plants are large, heavy, and beginning to show clear resin development. ⸻ This week’s snapshot (what you told me) • Solution EC: 0.7 mS/cm (you stopped All-in-One liquid and pulled solution EC down) • Solution pH: ~6.1 • Soil/substrate EC: still comparatively high (you reported earlier numbers around 5–6 mS/cm) — the living soil is doing the heavy lifting. • Feed plan kept: Plagron PowerBuds, Green Sensation, Sugar Royal (all low-dose), plus Aptus Regulator and Aptus CalMag Boost. • Plants: heavy, bulking, obvious frost/trichome production; supercrop site is producing well. ⸻ Why you lowered solution EC and stopped the All-in-One liquid • Letting the soil lead. Your living, richly amended soil already holds lots of available ions. Pulling water-solution EC back to ~0.7 makes the fertigation a light steering input rather than the dominant nutrient source. That reduces the risk of salt buildup while letting the soil biology and reserves feed the plants. • Encouraging ripening, not more vegetative growth. Lowering soluble N input and total EC reduces vegetative vigor and encourages the plant to reallocate energy into flower development and resin production. • Cleaner profile. A lighter solution often helps express terpenes and can reduce harsh residual taste if you choose to flush later. • Risk management. With a high substrate EC you avoid compounding salts, but you must monitor runoff EC/pH to ensure you’re not drifting into deficiency or toxicity. ⸻ Trichomes & white pistils, what you’re seeing and what it means • White pistils (hairs): still plentiful, the plant is mid-flower, still producing new pistils while older ones will start darkening in the coming weeks. A lot of white pistils now is normal at Week 6; they will darken and curl as maturity approaches. • Trichome types & stages: you’re seeing more glandular heads and sticky sugar leaves. Trichomes progress roughly: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. • Clear: immature (not peak potency) • Cloudy/milky: peak cannabinoid expression, usually target harvest for a balanced high • Amber: more degraded THC → more sedative, couch-type effect; some amber is normal depending on desired effect • What heavy trichome coverage now means: the plants have moved into active resin production; enzymes and carbon flux are being directed to terpene and cannabinoid pathways. Continued support (sugars, PK, stable environment) helps maximize resin and terpene development. ⸻ Supercrop update — technical recap & why it worked • Mechanics: you bruised/softened the stem, bent it, and closed the wound so the plant formed a strengthened knuckle. That redirection reduces apical dominance and sends auxin to lateral sites. • Results you observed: rapid curve-up, additional bud sites along the bent branch, and notable fruiting at the knuckle/top area. That’s expected, the wound redirects hormonal flow and the plant compensates by boosting side growth and flowers. • Monitoring: the knuckle strengthens over 3–7 days; watch for any slow-healing splits and keep airflow over the site to prevent moisture pooling. ⸻ Why you kept Plagron + Aptus (what each brings) • Plagron PowerBuds / Green Sensation / Sugar Royal: targeted bloom stimulators (PK, co-factors, carbs/aminos). They help compact flowers, feed terpene pathways, and provide sugars/precursors that support aroma and density. • Plagron Sugar Royal: acts as a carbohydrate/secondary biostimulant — supports microbes and gives a sugar boost that plants and microbes use for energy in resin synthesis. • Aptus Regulator: supports stress resilience, uptake efficiency, cell wall strength — especially valuable under high light/heat. • Aptus CalMag Boost: maintains Ca/Mg balance, essential for cell structure and avoiding tip burn when uptake is rapid. • Strategy: Plagron drives bloom chemistry; Aptus protects physiology and supports clean uptake. With soil heavy on reserves, both are applied as focused steering tools. ⸻ Week 6: What is happening physiologically • The plant transitions from stretch to stacking: calyxes thicken, pistils begin to darken in the coming weeks, and trichome density increases. • Carbohydrate flux is prioritized to the floral sink; you’ll see faster water uptake and increased K demand. • Leaf yellowing in lower leaves often begins around now as N is remobilized to flowers, this is frequently normal in mid-late flower if controlled and not extreme. ⸻ What to expect next (practical timeline & signals) Expect (over the next 1–3 weeks): • Continued calyx swelling and denser flowers. • Trichomes moving from mostly clear → cloudy (you’ll start seeing the ‘frost’ become more opaque). • Stronger terpene aroma as sugars and PK feed resin pathways. • Heavier water uptake and faster EC changes between runs. Don’t expect (yet): • Final resin peak — that typically comes later (weeks 7–10 depending on genetics). • Immediate massive ambering — amber trichomes usually develop later in the finish window. • No surprises — biological systems still can flip; remain monitoring-forward. Watch closely for: • Runoff EC & pH after a couple of waterings — if runoff EC climbs very high, consider a mild runoff correction. • Humidity & bud density: keep RH controlled to avoid botrytis (mid 40–55% during heavy stacking; lower as flowers bulk). • Magnesium / Potassium signs: interveinal yellowing (Mg) or edge cupping/crisping (K) — maintain CalMag and consider K if uptake accelerates. ⸻ Actionable checklist for Week 6 • Continue solution EC ~0.7 and pH ~6.1; treat fertigation as steering. • Measure runoff EC/pH at least once this week — log the results. • Keep Plagron bloom stack + Aptus Regulator & CalMag at light doses. • Keep canopy airflow high; consider lowering RH progressively if buds bulk fast. • Prepare stakes / soft ties or light trellis for heavy colas (supercrop sites may need support). • Microscope checks: start daily/alternate-day inspection of trichomes with 30–60× loupe — photograph if you want a timeline. • Avoid heavy new training; minor tucks/leaf removal to open air/light only. ⸻ A short note on flushing (planning) • Many growers flush with pH-balanced plain water 1–2 weeks before harvest to reduce soluble salts and tighten flavor; opinions vary. If you intend to flush, start planning timing based on trichome stage, not calendar alone. Your living soil and current low-solution EC approach already help keep things cleaner. ⸻ Final reflection — gratitude & community Week 6 is where the plant’s intent becomes visible: form into flower, pack on weight, and build resin. Your measured decision to pull back water EC while continuing Plagron’s bloom stimulants and Aptus support is a smart “steer, don’t force” approach that lets the living soil and the plant do the heavy metabolic work. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Fastbuds Auto Update – Unexpected Harvest 🚨🌱 A major issue came up this week — my dehumidifier broke down! 😱 Until it’s repaired or replaced, it will take several days, and in the meantime, the humidity has been spiking up to 80%. 💦🌫️ With Botrytis (bud rot) lurking in these conditions, I had to take action. Today, I harvested two plants, even though they weren’t fully ready yet. 🌸✂️ Better to be safe than lose everything to mold! They went straight into the fridge for a slow dry 🌿 — not the original plan, but it’s the best way to protect the quality under these circumstances. Fingers crossed 🤞 that the rest will make it through until I get the humidity under control! 🌱💚.

Microrrizas and trichodermas

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

Tag 25: Die beiden Mädels entwickeln sich Großartig. Haben fast zeitgleich angefangen zu blühen. Die Kleinere ist jetzt 10cm kleiner als die Große ansonsten ist sie die perfekte Kopie der der Großen 😁 Tag 28: Aus Platzgründen musste ich die vordere Pflanze runterbiegen, hoffe sie verkraftet es. Zu allem Übel ist mein Ph Tester kaputt gegangen 😭 ich musste also heute ohne eingestellten ph wert gießen. Glücklicherweise bekomme ich schnell morgen Ersatz. Doch habe ich diesen Ph tester erst seit nicht mal 2 Monaten. Ich könnte heulen das alles so kompliziert geworden ist ......😢

So this girl ripened super fast and was harvested on week 8 and that for me is in heard of , I will update more once dried Update well this girl cured amazing and is by far the strongest fast buds to date by far

Stardawg 2 is doing it's thing. Still got some budding to do so another 2-3 weeks I think at least. Partly because I have moved to a 12-12 light cycle now for #1 to try and flower, as well as a couple of photoperiods I have in the tent. I have attempted to supercrop the tops of #1 as it's above my reflector now. Too big lol. About 70-80cm.

Good morning growers .. The third week of vegetative has begun. I add for a day to week the nutrient 'vita race' of Plagron. I applied the LST and topping technique for taller plants and FIM technique for shorter plants. I cut the branches at the bottom because when they go into the flowering phase, those branches will produce small flowers. Sorry for my English 🙄 Stay tuned 🦍💪🏻

Buds bulking.

Switched to 12/12 Defoiled them every 2 days...slightly, just to stop all shadings Mixed in some flowering nutes mid week Got an really even canopy...LST did a good job...light seems to be used very efficient now

Well, as you guys can see, I broke another branch which ended up topping her on one side, and she has this Y shape going on. I'm not mad about it.. Hopefully she ends up looking pretty cool.Been better yet smoking even better.. We have a few more weeks of veg before I have room to put her in the flower tent .. thank you for checking out my page.God bless and happy growing everyone ✌️

Moving forward, blooming nice, this second gen is taking form and gaining weight. A few weeks and we will have a nice harvest. Tent is nicely populated and filled. Once i have setup the “semi scrog” it has conformed to it in a couple of days and did a massive difference. It really opens the canopy and create a huge surface to take advantage from the light as opposed to letting it go naturally. I’m defining the technique as semi scrog because i did not setup the net in a traditional early way knitting in veg... It was done later.

Aug 9: Now done three weeks of flowering for Tropicana Cookies EV. She is the youngest plant but also the tallest and looking quite happy. Got the UV led lights from AC Infinity going for the first time. Used these last year and they seem to work. UV lights stimulates trichome production and makes up for weak sunlight this far north. Aug 12: has stretched again but the bud sites are filling nicely. Pistils have started to turn pink. This plant is looking very happy and will likely be a big producer. Added another top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. It has been about two weeks at least since the last round, and this will be the final round. Stopped using molasses about two weeks ago. Great for growing but I don’t want to be smoking sugar. Use during veg stage but only 2-3 weeks into flowering.

She has been Transplanted on November 10th to her new 15l home, she's gonna be such a beautiful amnesia pro plant, love this strain, the shape pf the leafs is just so beautiful.

….. the energy moves to the flowers💐
