Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 3: The Ballet of Bend, Blossom, and Root Rhapsody Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green frontier! Week 3 of our Apolo F1's botanical saga has unfurled with a kaleidoscope of growth and a symphony of roots that dance beneath the surface. Join me as we explore the verdant ballet of bending, the flourishing foliage, and the hidden root rhapsody. This week has been a crescendo of controlled chaos, with the delicate art of bending taking center stage. Each branch gracefully sways and contorts, responding to the gentle nudges like a botanical ballerina in an intricate dance. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's performing a choreography of resilience and elegance. And here's the thrilling revelation - roots! Yes, beneath the soil surface, a clandestine world is unfurling. Root tendrils are popping up like eager spectators in the front row, reaching out to absorb the nutrients and anchor our green virtuoso. It's a root rhapsody, a silent applause to the nutrient-rich symphony we've orchestrated. As I continue to guide the botanical ballet, the TDS in the watering regimen maintains a harmonious 390 ppm, providing our plant with a nutrient-rich libretto. The pH, the conductor of this aqueous symphony, remains a steady 6.0, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and a thriving performance. Temperature-wise, our Apolo F1 revels in the cozy embrace of a 26-degree Celsius environment. It's like providing the ideal backstage conditions for our botanical star, ensuring she performs at her peak. Now, let's talk about the behind-the-scenes technique – the bottom feeding spectacle. Water is tossed into the plate, and our green companion sips from this botanical wellspring. It's a refined and controlled drinking session, a sophisticated soirée for our growing virtuoso. And as always, a tip of the hat to Aptus Holland, the maestros of our nutrient symphony. Their meticulous regimen ensures our Apolo F1 gets the VIP treatment from the roots to the tips of her flourishing foliage. As we marvel at the ongoing dance of growth and the flourishing of our green virtuoso, I extend my gratitude to the digital coliseum, Grow Diaries, for being the stage where our horticultural epic unfolds. And to Royal Queen Seeds, whose Apolo F1 has become the star of this green opera. In the next enthralling chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, we'll witness the continued ballet of growth and the root rhapsody beneath the surface. Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be ever bountiful! 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

This week we started to flush after the first signs of proper cloudy trichome cover. Not long now! Plants have been quite heavily defoliated in the top 2/3 of each branch, in an effort to maximize flower growth in the last stages. Considering using ice for the final 48hr blackout. Any ideas welcome. Still piling on mass at a surprising rate and all stinking heavily. GLue Gelato has some sweetness and heavy gas notes, and the cream Caramel, well like name like shtank haha. Close to first ever harvest. It's business time!

We are in the middle of week, i decided to prune my 2 girls (topped on 6th July) and adjust LST, they having a good development and i think why not? I will flip to 12/12 when she's completly recovered, i believe a two or tree days.. Good growing ✌️🌱🌿🍁

Well the end has come to this beautiful strain What can I say it was fun to grow even considering the early problems I had with the yellowing it turned out amazing The smell and taste are out of this world. Tastes very citrucy and sweet. With a super heavy high. Looking forward to curing this one. Onto the next and big up the followers

Entrando ya en tierra derecha 😑😑😑😑 Modo zen en este proceso, ser paciente estar atento al engorde y esperar. 🤯🤯🤯 Así va el mix fem en sus últimas 3 semana 4 semanas para el corte 🌲🌲 Una de las #critical47 de @positronicschileoficial es la que estará primero y ya podemos ver que lograremos plantas sanas y limpias al final. Las de mayor producción son las #fatbanana y la #greenpunch. La deaoyr resina hasta el mentó es una de las #critical47 y las #Toxic. Durante todo el proceso y desde hace ya 5 años confiamos el cultivo a los fertilizantes de @topcrop. 🍒🌽🍍🌼💐💮

Im now giving her the ripen for 10 days then after a 3 day flush we harvest boys

Started the first topping and She hated it Shocked her near to death..... This is where she started to show what she is made of and still to this day I don't have a clue what she is but soon will know

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati da me per una nuova pagina di questo diario!😉 Che dire ragazzi tutte le sorelle sono fantastiche.😍 La numero 1 è il capo famiglia, davvero imponente. La numero 2 ha staccato le altre di 5 cm, ora è lei la più alta con i suoi 155 cm. La numero 3 invece ha i buds già bellissimi. Nel complesso crescono bene e forti con una distanza intermodale marcata che le fanno respirare bene. Ora le fragoline misurano circa 1 cm di diametro e quelle della numero 3 misurano circa 1.5 cm💪 L odore inizia a marcare i suoi aromi, pungenti note di mapo (Citrus × tangelo) si mischiano a leggeri sentori di gasolio.😋 Ho defogliato loro nel giorno 67 e ho allargato tutti le apicale dalla pianta 1 con Lst, i nuts rimangono invariati.👍 Eh niente! Anche per questa settimana è tutto ragazzi. Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Que pasa familia. Noticias buenas y malas, de 3 ejemplares, uno nos salió hermafrodita. Empezó a formar plátanos esta semana y al estar tirándolos en ramas distintas, cortamos por lo sano y ADIÓS. Quedan 2 subimos cantidad de comida, pegaron buen estirón, y las flores están formando sin problema alguno. Dejo muchas imágenes y vídeos de esta semana, y ya deducen ustedes.

It was a busy week full of events. I got them a 600 watts HPS light and microbes to help them grow faster. I finally started the trellis netting to even the canopy and get more from the lights and I also spray the plants again for bugs. I found out that I've been using powder nutrients on my reservoir and that's probably why I've been getting floods two or tree times a week and now the valve is open only when I'm there, because I'm sick of cleaning and I took that little sick plant out. My cats have her now.

Doing things differently this time, going for a speed havrest. Didnt successfully clone any plants except #7 so this run is only bag seeds that i found and replanted 🤘 We will see how this goes! I have 10 #9, 10 #8, 10 #7, 4 #4, and 4 #1 Im only doing 4 of #1 and 4 because im pretty positive those are not the keepers but im giving them a chnave to shine and see what theg can do under the better light ans soil instead of cocoa

April 22 Sooo, i decided that the leaves that were getting no light and that the plant was naturally killing had to be removed as well as some initial ramifications that hadnt grown so much and were not forming any buds. I ended using powerzyme the other day and I will be using fast food minerals (BAC) mixed with some foliar alg-a-mic and see how they feel about it. The smaller ones seem to be streching so much more in this vegetation stage that i am afraid i will have 5 monsters in a couple of weeks. I know that there is a lot of discussion about pruning autos or not, i personally decided to go with a SOG though initially i was thinking more of a SCROG, but things got a little out of hand and i think it was the perfect moment, 3 weeks more to flower and recover from the stress. I will update in a couple of days. April 24 2 days after the defoliation the plants seem to be doing all right, buds are progressively getting bigger (or at least that´s my impression) and they are still getting taller, I honestly wasn´t expecting this size from an autoflowering strain, I´m very pleased with this LSDs. To get them through all this stress and since I had been only adding enzimes to the water for about 10 days, I started again with BACs Fast Food minerals yesterday (2,5ml/L though BAC says 4) and they loved it. Some of them were starting to have their leaves a little bit sad and they are now just reaching as much as they can to the light as you can appreciate in the video. End of the week Buds just seem to be getting bigger and i think they are no longer growing taller, they seem happy. Watering them every 2 days with 1 liter of water - food - water... and they seem to be fine with nutrients for the moment.

Last week of veg . Gona start. To prep for flowering. ..only fed tap water every 2 days as needed this week. No issues at all. I stopped all lst training so she can stretch bit ..she's getting pretty big she smells real nice. Excited to see her shine these next few weeks. Will update next week on her 1st week of flowering. ..enjoy the organic grow.

Still not started to flower pistols are shouting out everywhere tho can't wait to see it flower iv never grow weed before so it's going to be good having a ganja plant

Cuttings are growing very fast, we added 2 more lights for a total of 800 W led grow light. On day 11 since have been put in the box we decided to switch to flow as we tought cuttings has reached the right dimension to fullfil the box. Still using only pH 6.5 water with no nutrients

Drinking half a gallon everyday. Very strong smell. Did some minor LST thought out the week and maintained the pH @5.70. Should I start 12/12 lmk what you think?

Going into this week the girls are now reeking of dank so loud the neighbor was asking when it's going to be ready. 😂 Buds are getting nice and dense and I've got excellent node spacing for this cultivar. Can't wait till she is ready.
