Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 9 of our Apolo F1's cosmic journey has unfolded with a sense of anticipation and reflection as we approach the long-awaited harvest. Join me as we delve into the depths of this extraordinary odyssey, celebrating the growth, discovery, and botanical brilliance that has defined our journey thus far. Nine weeks ago, we embarked on this botanical odyssey with a tiny seedling filled with promise. From those humble beginnings, our Apolo F1 has blossomed into a majestic specimen, a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Each week has been a chapter in our shared story of growth and discovery, filled with moments of triumph, challenge, and unwavering dedication. As we stand on the cusp of harvest, we are surrounded by a sea of vibrant blooms, each one a testament to the meticulous care and nurturing environment we have provided. From the delicate tendrils of her infancy to the lush canopy of her maturity, Apolo F1 has been a beacon of botanical brilliance, inspiring us with her resilience and vitality. The floral symphony she has orchestrated fills the air with its intoxicating aroma, a fitting tribute to her journey of growth and transformation. In celebration of this momentous occasion, I have curated a special photoshoot showcasing the beauty and wonder of Apolo F1. From evocative images of swirling smoke to captivating glistening trichomes, each photograph captures a glimpse of the magic that has unfolded before our eyes. These images are not just snapshots; they are a reflection of the passion, dedication, and love that has gone into nurturing our green companion every step of the way. Throughout this journey, I have incorporated enzymes into our watering regimen, recognizing their role in promoting healthy soil and ensuring the vitality of our plants. As we prepare to harvest, I am mindful of the importance of nurturing care and sustainable practices, knowing that the soil we tend today will nourish the gardens of tomorrow. As we stand on the brink of harvest, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. To Aptus for crafting the nutrient symphony that fueled our journey, to Royal Queen Seeds for providing the genetic star of our green opera, to Grow Diaries for their unwavering support and camaraderie, and to the entire community for sharing in this remarkable adventure. Together, we have proven that with dedication, passion, and a touch of magic, anything is possible in the world of cultivation. Join me in the final chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the culmination of this extraordinary journey and celebrate the harvest of a lifetime. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever blessed by the spirit of growth, discovery, and botanical brilliance. #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found - link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚💚💚

It is 8 weeks in now . This colas are packing up some weights , but i'm not so happy about the density of the bud , they seem very airy to me .This might happen because the pheno looks so Sativa dominant . Everything seems fine but i still can't really wrap my head around the nute burn . I tried lowering my nute concentration ( 800 ppm ) but she doesn't seem to be happy anyways . The ppm in the reservoir still kicks up as high as 1800ppm and the ph drops to 5.3 - 5.5 . So this week i flushed her and going to feed her at 500ppm . This is so weird because she is so huge i thought she would appreciate lots of feeding but she hates the nute. She continue drinking 3-4 L of water per day but as i stated the ppm in the reservoir is so high , so i can conclude that she doesn't want to take in the food i'm feeding to her . I don't see crazy amount of trichomes but i wouldn't complain since this is my first grow . The trichs are turning more milky and some of the colas hairs are browning .I expect her to be flowering for at least 2 - 3 weeks before harvesting .

The first week of vegetation is complete, and the plant is off to an okay start! After spending 5 days in the seedling station, I transplanted it into a 15L fabric pot, which will be its final home since it’s an autoflower.🌱 Initially, things weren’t perfect—the first set of leaves turned yellow, likely because I forgot to add coco to the area where I planted it.😅 However, the plant recovered quickly and is now bouncing back nicely! One hiccup was the time-lapse footage—it’s a bit shaky because the fan was directed at the plant, causing some wobble. Overall, I’m optimistic about the plant’s progress and looking forward to seeing how it develops in the coming weeks.🌱 (the plant in the little pot is my first phenotype Runtz muffin from barneys farm that i got gifted and i am getting the setup right now)

Moin, Pflanzen sind grade gut im Stretch und auch die unterschiedlichen Höhen lassen sich leider nicht vermeiden… Während #1 und #3 ziemlich auch gleicher Höhe sind, kommt #2 nicht so gut hinterher. Generell scheint sie von der Entwicklung auch weniger ausgeprägt zu sein - naja so ist es nunmal. Hab #2 dann noch auf eine kleine Erhöhung gestellt, damit sie immerhin etwas mithält… Ansonsten siehts ganz gut aus, die Pflanzen brauchen jetzt deutlich mehr Wasser - könnte jeden Tag mit 2L gießen. Wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende 😎🍀 Gruß Wulle

She grew up nicely very healthy and strong and she produced a decent amount of organic clean cannabis, It's great and just what I work for because I'm a patient that needs to grow his weed and doing it making sure I grow them naturally and organically. The result is a very fruity and and tropical aroma, the purple color makes her even more beautiful. It's just a dream man, I love it, I just love to grow this strain, the 4 plants I grew had the same aroma very tropical and fruity, super sweet.

So this is how things are looking for the Exodus Cheese & GH Cheese. I lost some of the other footage that I had throughout week 4,sorry guys, but didn't do much to these ladies anyway, they started out too short to do much training.

3/4/24-Here we are with the ladies goin to their second week. Yay baby flowers 💚 Have a few things going on. I apparently suck at the trellis thing lol. At flower they were all pretty even..I would tuck a few stragglers that got taller under. They’ve went crazy now and I don’t really have anywhere to tuck them other than away from the lights which I don’t wanna do. There was some discoloration on the tips of leaves which I assumed was light or nutrient related, so I dimmed lights a bit and checked the runoff water. Omg. It was wayyyyy too acidic. Like high 4’s low 5. Some leaves also appear to be showing magnesium deficiency.. which I assume is because of the crazy acidity. I’m giving dechlorinated tap water (no normal nutes) without phing it because it’s very alkaline. Hoping it will bring things back up. Oh, I sprinkled epsom salt on the soil before watering. (Magnesium) Really crossing my fingers that I am doing the right things and don’t screw this up! These ladies still look really good to me considering.. but only time will tell. Update: pretty sure I had nitrogen toxicity and too much salt buildup in the soil. In the meantime got what seemed to be magnesium deficiency. I’ve been giving only water with some epsom salt and the girls seems much happier. Hopefully Krisis averted 😂

10/2 They made it to their forever pots. Next Saturday we'll be hitting 2 months from sprout and as a whole its been a pleasure to grow these plants. They all are a very healthy green and seem to be happy. Temperatures in the region may have unexpectedly slowed them down (I grow in a basement) because temps have plummeted from around 78 with the lights on to as low as 71! I don't think they like it either. Growth has slowed with it. Never fear, space heater is here. Everything thing needs to be dialed in for the next few weeks because I want explosive growth over the next 21 days. Going to try a SST somewhere in there. Parsing through all this bro science isn't easy but it sure is fun to experiment. It allegedly gives you good root growth and provides crucial enzymes. Almost sounds too good to be true but I'm going to see how it goes regardless. I heard you can use I wide variety of seeds but alpha alpha is the only one I have on hand. Wish me luck. As for the plants: Moby= beast. I'd be a fool not to attempt to clone her. Vigorous grower and responds well to training. Not a demanding eater either, at least so far. Loving this freebie from NASC. Highly recommend them if you're in the northeast US looking for a local seed bank. GZ 1 = steady. Probably the biggest back slide if you want to call it that. Spotted some yellowing on lower leaves but they are shaded by this ones thick canopy. May not even be an issue but we keep an eye on it. Probably the biggest critic of the lowering temperatures because she's slowed down in the past 2 days. Gz2= trooper. She had a rougher upbringing and she's got a far different shape than the other two because of it. But with a little work I'm sure soon both GZ will be indistinguishable from one another. Banana daddy= forgot to take pics of her. Man have I been growing autoflowers all wrong. I may have fed this plant once. Though it should be noted that the soil I put her in was amended with alpha alpha, fish bone meal, and guano. She seems to really enjoy it so far. Not a single yellow leaf. Droopy at times though which is odd. Also some tacoing on new growth that ends up correcting itself as the leaf gets bigger. Double odd. Next time I do an auto run I'm definitely doing much less in terms of feeding and maintenance. Loving your plants too much can be deadly. Starting to figure them out though so I'm happy I did at least one. I'll post in a few days when I water my photos again.

How’s growing everyone, just to let you know that nothing new happened, the babies are in a fantastic shape. One of them is nearly ready so i will begin to flush it a bit. Otherwise, all is great, no defficiencies so i'm very happy. I hope you are all well in this terrific moment. The second wave is coming and i just hope we can all get well and do our crops. Have a nice day and a great weekend

Salutations, Growmies, As we venture into week 13 with our Epic Buzz siblings, we're greeted with a sight of awe-inspiring development. Epic Buzz #1, with her colas frosting over like a midwinter forest, signals a pinnacle of resin production. The surface of each bud resembles a miniature landscape, crystalline and vibrant, basking in the glow of our attentively managed lights. Epic Buzz #2 doesn't shy away from the spotlight either, flaunting massive colas that are a spectacle of horticultural excellence. The density of the flowers is remarkable, each bract swelling with potential, hinting at the hefty harvest that's almost within reach. Epic Buzz #3, the enigmatic one, maintains her pace, a steady climb of trichome-laden flowers ascending towards their peak. There's a symphony in her silhouette, a harmonious blend of sativa stretch and indica girth. The ambience within the grow space is serene, a steady symphony of fans and filters that weave a tale of controlled conditions – a steady 25.3°C and 65.8% humidity, without a hint of fluctuation. Such stability is the cornerstone of our thriving terpene tapestry. Lighting, now set to an impeccable 55% intensity, avoids any undue stress while bathing our ladies in the luminescent embrace they crave. The IR and UV additions to our light regimen pay homage to the sun's natural spectrum, promoting a bounty that is not only bountiful but also rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. The watering schedule remains unchanged, a testament to the rhythmic routine that our plants have come to expect. This is the beat to which they grow, and their response is nothing short of spectacular. The Epic Buzz trio is a testament to the rewards of resilience, the bounty that beckons when you sync with nature's pulse. We watch, with bated breath, as they edge closer to harvest – a celebration of cultivation, patience, and the green-thumbed dance between grower and plant. Looking forward to the near future, we anticipate a harvest that will encapsulate the essence of care, skill, and a little bit of magic that has been poured into every moment of their growth. Until the next update, keep the vibes high and the lights bright. Stay lifted, Salokin P.S. Since the TrolMaster contest has concluded, I'll deposit my concise reflection here: The Tent-X has revolutionized my growing experience. Intuitive graphs and controls led to a near-perfect environment and flourishing plants over 13 weeks, deeply enhancing my plant care knowledge. It's a game-changer for any grower.
