TDS meter went bad so my reads are off (low), but until I replace it... Starting LST today, unfortunately the main topped branchs on Gelato #2 split down the middle, I have taped up hopefully to heal. All plants have been topped twice hope to flip in a couple weeks.

F*CK MENSTRUAL CRAMPS! Purplematic is a high CBD, low THC strain by RQS. It helps with pain management without getting you high as a kite, ie it's great to battle those monthly belly cramps. It has become my wife's favourite F*CK MENSTRUAL CRAMPS strain. We use it to make edibles and tinctures. So, a little goes a long way. Rather than pushing for yield, we focus on getting one big fat juicy sticky cola. ITS FAST - 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest ITS BEAUTIFUL - the buds get a nice purple color with light brown pistils IT WORKS - follow our journey to make the best anti cramps medicine!

Our girl is doing really nice, the training was successful and now part of her is under ground and she is growing nice. I have increased the water intake a bit more 6.01.26 Yesterday I have toped her and she took it well, and finished all training for her, she is late looking really nice and compact now. 7.01.26 Our girl is doing really well and already recovered and redirected the growth. I have also Increased the lights to 70% and left it a bit more

Very nice lush green with no signs of deficiencies! One the root found its way to the tank wich surprised me be how fast she broke through the bottom hole

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 2: The Rise of the Green Titan Greetings, fellow growers and botanical enthusiasts! Our Apolo F1 has sprouted into a verdant marvel, standing tall and proud, like a green titan rising from the soil. Join me in this second-week report as we explore the wonders of growth, the magic of transplantation, and the botanical symphony of nutrients. This week marked a significant milestone – the grand migration to an 11L fabric pot, generously provided by the good folks at Royal Queen Seeds. Now, let's talk fabric pots and why they're the VIP treatment for our plant's roots. Fabric pots, oh, they're like the five-star hotels for roots! Unlike their traditional counterparts, fabric pots offer superior aeration. The porous fabric breathes, preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged and ensuring oxygen reaches every nook and cranny of our Apolo F1's root system. It's like giving our plant a breath of fresh air, quite literally. But the benefits don't end there – fabric pots also prevent roots from circling the container, promoting a more extensive and fibrous root system. This, my friends, translates to a happier, healthier plant with increased nutrient uptake and overall vigor. It's like our Apolo F1 is getting a botanical spa day every day! Now, let's dive into the alchemical mix that accompanied this transplantation – my special Aptus Holland super soil blend. Picture this as the magic potion for plant prosperity. First in the concoction is Micromix Soil, a blend of microorganisms and stimulants that's like a botanical feast. These microorganisms act as the unsung heroes of the soil, enhancing nutrient availability and fostering a symbiotic relationship with our green companion. Next up, enter the Substrate Buffer Powder – the pH conditioner extraordinaire. Unstable pH conditions begone! This powder, featuring micronized calcium, acts as the stabilizing force, ensuring our plant enjoys a balanced pH banquet. And let's not forget the All-in-One Pellet – the time-released 100% organic pellet fertilizer. Packed with a compounded NPK fertilizer, magnesium, sulfur, and organically chelated microelements, it's like a gourmet meal for our Apolo F1. The L-amino acids are the chef's kiss, enhancing nutrient absorption and overall plant health. During the transplantation spectacle, I introduced Mycor Mix once again. This blend of endomycorrhizae, fixed on a vegetal carrier, is like the entourage for our Apolo F1, feeding and protecting the fungi that, in turn, support our plant's growth. It's the ultimate teamwork, a botanical Avengers assembling to ensure our green hero thrives. And the best part? Our Apolo F1 is reacting with sheer botanical enthusiasm, reaching for the stars and soaking in the nutrients like a plant on a mission. Before I conclude this week's report, a heartfelt shoutout to Royal Queen Seeds for the royal treatment in the form of fabric pots, to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Grow Diaries for being the virtual arena where our horticultural tale unfolds. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our Apolo F1 Mission Diary – where we'll witness the continued ascent of our green titan. 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

3 de 4 plantas ya están florenciendo y la más avanzada está lista para recibir su primera dosis de PK 13-14 La Painkiller XL alta y delgada aún no muestra sus primeros pistilos. Tal vez la planta está esperando al engrosamiento de sus tallos para desarrollar flores y poder sostenerlas

Beginning of week.. Damn she is a very nitrogen sensitive bitch! I really hope she starts to thicken up some.. I think it hurt the yeild some.. Unless she thickens up nicely. It's not as bad as I've seen other nitrogen toxic plants.. With every single leaf cupped or clawing downward.. But the top leaves are pretty clawed.. And even alot of the sugar leaves throughout the plant.. Damnit.. Also, I've noticed that she is actually using up nutrients like FastBuds said.. The runoff has been coming out alot lower than it is going in.. I guess they weren't bullshitting me lol.. Blah whatever.. Damnit, I really hope I didnt fuck this up 🤦🤞🤞🤞 Almost mid week... So I'm using a Brita pitcher with filter for my tap water.. It doesn't do much lol.. Some, of course.. But I'm also using a very cheap filter in it.. Wal-Mart brand.. Which sucks.. But that is helping bring the TDS of nutrient solution down from 1000 PPM - 1100 PPM to about 850 PPM - 900 PPM.. Just regular tap water from 240 PPM - 260 PPM down to 180 PPM - 190 PPM.. Like I said.. Some.. But not much. I'm not sure if there should be any changes to the plant if the nitrogen toxicity is cleared out.. I went ahead and did a nice flush to get all that shit out of the medium.. It should have helped.. Still going to keep the FloraMicro down.. I really hope this doesnt hurt the yield or taste!!!! I'm assuming she should be close to about halfway thru flower so she should have time to recover before flushing and harvesting.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Oh.. And I also lowered the light to 14 inches from the canopy.. Well.. To the tallest cola lol Mid week.. She is still maintaining herself.. The trichomes are so beautiful!.. Been keeping the PPMs a bit lower than I think I should.. I think Calcium deficiency is popping back up.. I think I'm seeing some new spots pop up.. Not too bad.. And it could just be from when I was flushing a bit at the beginning of the week.. Havent changed the amount of CalMag so I imagine that's what it's from. But other than that and the nitrogen toxicity, she is doing good! Next day (Merry Christmas!🎄).. So the trichome heads are still normal (not purple like I thought).. But the trichome stems(?) are purple. So fucking gorgeous.. But I can still see that the trichome heads are clear/milky/amber.. There are already quite a few milky! Damn.. Maybe FastBuds actually means 9 - 10 weeks from seed! Lol.. The colas are starting to fatten up a bit.. So I'm happy! I really enjoy the narcotic effect so I'm gonna harvest when there are quite a bit of amber trichomes.. My Lemon Berry from ETHOS had not many amber.. And the high is very paranoid like lol.. Dont get me wrong.. I love the high.. But paranoia is definitely there lol.. So I'm trying to avoid that with this girl! Later that night... So after running a couple gallons through the Brita pitcher filter (with Wal-Mart brand filter), the TDS is coming out around 150 PPM!!! Ok.. So not bad lol.. Works MUCH better than I figured it would! NICEeEeEe... Lol.. But as for the love of my life (lol not kidding).. She is starting to swell for sure!.. Still think she's gonna be a little airy tho.. But she shouldnt yeild small! End of week.. Not seeing any new clawing.. Starting to see more spots.. I mean, they are super bad.. But there are alot throughout the girlie.. So as I've been feeding, watering, feeding, watering, etc... I've noticed the runoff PPM aren't as high as they normally would be.. This could be why the spotting is happening.. Not sure if these spots are from Calcium.. Magnesium.. Or even something else.. It's kinda hard to tell.. But honestly I'm not too concerned about them.. She is not TOO too far from harvesting.. Haven't began to flush yet.. But I think that may be happening very soon.. Maybe 1 more week of weak feedings and then 2 weeks of flushing.. I am definately seeing plenty of cloudy trichomes.. And some amber now.. I will be trying to get some pics of the trichomes next week for sure! They are so pretty! This is one finicky bitch for sure! But now that I know her issues, it should make it quite easier to avoid the same issues next time I grow her! Still very happy with this girl!... On to the next!!!...

Beginning of Week 2, Day 8 everything is looking good. Auto OG berry seeds 3/3 did not sprout. Dead seeds. everything else came within 2 Days after soil plantin Day 9 We noticed some weird leaf spots. Maybe ph off... we can' treat ph yet. Added low dose Grow nutes 1ml/l to at least counteract the water ph a bit. They grow super fast and the soil was a 50/50 mix with light soil so We figured maybe a few nutes couldn't harm them. Transplanting will be in about 4 Days. Day 11 some spots on the first real leaves , probably just burnt, because of myco powder on the leaves on Day 4... Still growing fast. Lamp was raised to 30 cm. we would like to have a bit more stretch.. They also have a bit too much water imho, but we had to water one time before transplanting, which would be the 12th or 13th day. Only minor problems so far, if any:) Day 13 today we transplanted the plants into their final 5l containers. roots are looking amazing. mix is 75% composana and 25% lightmix. we also mixed more myko's in the soil around the old rootball about 1/3 up and topped off with soil. watered about 1.5l per 5l pot, ph'd water about 6.4 We are now gone over the weekend, and raised the lamps to about 40cm. monday new picures. they were looking real good the next morning after transplant and kept growing. We will see if everything is fine on monday when we get back. hopefully lots of new healthy growth.. we had to add about 5ml ph- (phosphoric acid 10%) to 10l tap water to get ph from 7.8 to about 6.4. no fert was added. only canna magnesium. hopefully the cheapo ph meter worked. next week topping will be happening between Day 18 and 21

Easy grow the FoxFarm plant yielded 53 Grams of bud and 14 of trim, the Recipe420 dropped 61 and 68 grams plus a 29 grams of trim. Like everyone else it seems my experience with FoxFarm soils are ....interesting the Recipe420 girls took nutes like a champ and the soil didn't get compacted stayed nice and airy, the FoxFarm soil is considerably denser retained water better but did not take nutes well AT ALL. It may be me but I'm going to try either my own mix or a different blend. No shade good soil just..weird. Chopped them and hung them whole in the GGT 4X2 dried them at 60-70 degree F, and 58-62% humidity for 10 days, trimmed and placed in CVault tasted one bud in the process and holy smokes she hits 😀 this aint no dispo stuff
