Day 1 Flower (Day 43) Wooohoooo! First day of flower! I decided to flip both plants after all. The thing is that I will be fully vaccinated against Corona by mid-July, and when that is done, I'm off on vacation. After 1,5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm more than ready to travel again, to see the world, meet new people, and have new experiences. So yeah, this strain is supposed to be a fast flowering strain (45 days!), so mid-July should do it. I switched to the Flower Induction light recipe in my main tent, and I will let that recipe run for some days before I switch over to the regular Flower recipe. The tiny tent has nothing so fancy and was switched to a regular 12/12 schedule. Speaking about lights. That cheap budget light that I bought for my veggies when I moved in my ViparSpectra light into the tiny tent broke down after only two days. So much for trying to save a bit by buying something cheap. I've already sent it back and won't get another light as I think the tomatoes and chilis are ready to move outside. I'll wait and buy this fall instead, but I won't go for the cheapest light I can find then. lol I was foliar feeding the girls with filtered compost tea while they were still sleeping. I only spray when the lights are out to avoid any leaf burns. A few hours later, after the girls woke up, I gave them each around 3 liters of unfiltered pH 6.2 compost tea. I FINALLY remembered to pH the compost tea. Woooooo!!! That was all today. Day 2 Flower (Day 44) Today was a really busy day. I opened the tents, took pics, closed up the tents. Phew! Exhausting. Day 3 Flower (Day 45) Alright, today was a bit more work than yesterday but still fairly relaxed. I watered the girls; the left one got 3 liters, and the right one got 4.5 liters of pH 6.0 water. I noticed a bit of light bleaching on the girl in the small tent, so I turned down the light a bit and increased the distance to the canopy. It is very tight in there, but that is expected with such a small tent. I will need to raise the light more in the future, and I'll probably have to resort to a bit of MacGyver-ism to make it work but that's a problem for a later day. The girl in the main tent has a bit of an uneven canopy where the left side is taller, so I raised the left light as the light level was around 1300 PPFD. I also super-cropped half a dozen branches to slow them down and let the rest of the canopy catch up. It's probably the last training I do before the girls go into flower. Finally, I did a bit of defoliating by removing a few leaves that weren't getting any light low down on the girls. Day 4 Flower (Day 46) Fuck. Disaster struck. I opened the main tent today and found that the CO2 bag had fallen down and broken one of the main branches. That one branch is responsible for about a quarter of the canopy, so losing it would suck. I got busy right away taping the broken branch and used some old chili stalks to support the branch further. I also watered it with around 1.5 liters of pH 6.5 water hoping that it will be beneficial. Now, all I can do is wait and hope for the best. For those of you who have been following this diary, you already know that I dislike this CO2 bag because it smells like shit. Literally. Now though, I really hate this friggin shit bag and its weird hanging contraption that is as shitty as the smell from the bag. Day 5 Flower (Day 47) So far so good. Last night, I checked in on her a couple of hours after I taped the broken branch and the left side of the canopy was already back up with no drooping leaves or branches. YES! However, it was still nerve-wracking to open the tent today but she looked just fine. Fingers crossed that it holds. Naturally, I don't want to disturb her much right now so all I did today was to water her and carefully LST a couple of branches that got messed up yesterday. I gave her 2 liters of pH 6-0 water and 1 liter of water to the girl in the small tent. Speaking of the small tent. There's some light bleaching on the tips of the leaves closest to the light so I turned down the dimmer even further down to 40%. I need to try to raise the light but can only gain another 5-7 cm. The tent is soo tiny lol. Will be interesting to see if she will even fit in there after the stretch is done. I also raised the lights in the main tent as the canopy was getting a bit close. That was it for today. Day 6 Flower (Day 48) Chill day today. All I did today was to water the girls 3 liters each of pH 6.5 water. Day 7 Flower (Day 49) Today was the end of a rather tumultuous first week of flower. It looks like I got lucky, though, and that the branch on the right girl will survive. She is growing strong and loving life. I am hopeful. She is a big girl and drinks a lot, so I'm watering her every day (around 10% of pot volume), and I gave her 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. The left girl didn't need any, so I just measured both girls, snapped some pics and videos before zipping up both tents. The left girl is 50 cm tall (12 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 77 cm tall (31 cm increase in a week!)

Well I had to harvest some buds from one plant of Blue Zushi as I got some bud rot I found some a wk ago and cut it away and an inch around it ,but it came back in one more cola I saved 50% of 3 colas I had to remove , I harvested the other Zushi too ,I ll show photos soon ,they are really frost after 30 hrs of darkness, I didn't want to risk any longer incase there was any mould from the bud rot still present in the plant/s ,well they smell really dank blueberry and cheese I smell so far ,with a fruity undertone. I will keep you updated on harvest and smoke

13 Aug 2021 Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I’m not a superstitious person, but I hope everything I did today turns out well. Today was a big day in my grow room. I finally cleaned up my big tent and got my three little Ladies transplanted into their new pots, as well as set up their new home to maximize their environment. I moved my Spider Farmer SF-1000 light into the big tent so that each of my girls has their own dedicated light, but that the spillover from the other two will be 3x as good! I leveled the lights 18 inches above the plants for even light distribution over the entire grow area. I also got a new standing oscillating fan for improved airflow and took out the other two I have been using. I can always add them back later if needed. I also repositioned my carbon filter and exhaust fan which opened up the whole top of the tent to place the 3rd light. I changed a lot of stuff in my grow room today in order for it to be neater, more organized, and basically more efficient as a grow space. Now if I can just get rid of all the damn boxes! That’s an inside joke with my wife. Now to my ladies… As I mentioned above, I transplanted my trio into their final homes today. I filled the pots with the same soil that they are currently in, Fox Farm’s Ocean Forest Potting Soil. I opened a small hole in the middle, then extracted each plant, one by one from their solo cups. I broke up the root ball of each plant so that the roots cover more area in their new home. Then I surrounded the root ball with more fresh soil and made sure each was secure in their positions. I then defoliated each plant of all their dead or dying leaves and then carried them upstairs to the grow room. After placing each plant into position, I labeled them all so I, and I’ll assume all of you, can keep track of which is which. They’re still C1, C2, and C3. Today I didn’t want to do anything really crazy, so I just watered the plants with two gallons of properly pH’ed water in order to get the plant roots and fresh soil wet enough to stay moist and consolidate a little better into one mass. I also wanted plain water so that I could see what the TDS levels were like from just the soil and water considering that the soil has some nutrients all by itself. So, each plant received approximately 3/4 of a gallon of water from 2 separate gallons. One with a pH of 6.4 and TDS going in of 89 ppm, and the other 6.7 with TDS of 98 ppm. Each plant had a decent amount of runoff from the water given. The runoff results were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 628 ppm C2 - pH 6.2, TDS 532 ppm C3 - pH 6.1, TDS 622 ppm As you can see, the TDS going in was under 100, but the runoff was significantly higher. I think I’ll wait until their runoff TDS is lower before I recommence giving additional nutrients. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Temperature is hot outside again, so the temperature was a little elevated at 84F, and the humidity was 55%. Now the fun of caring for 3 big plants at once. 🙄 I thought two was tough! What have I gotten myself into! Happy growing everyone! 15 Aug 2021 So today started the fun of feeding three plants at once. I’m still just giving properly pH’ed water to try and use the nutrients in the soil first instead of adding additional nutrients to a pot that is already full of nutrient rich soil. I may do this one or two more times before starting the nutrients in the water solution again. I’m going to document each plant properly here in the note, but I can only put one on the updated weekly report for the website. I’m going to alternate between the 3, so today I’m going to start with C1. Each of the plants seem to be adjusting well to their new pot, as well as to their new environment inside the big tent. I took a couple of pics of each plant today to add to the diary for your viewing pleasure. The gallons of water (3 of them) were filled with tap water and then measured and treated independently as follows: C1 - gallon had initial pH of 7.7. C2 - initial pH of 7.7. C3 - initial pH of 7.8. I added 5 gtts (.25ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.2 in all three gallons. TDS going in was as follows: C1 - 94 ppm C2 - 98 ppm C3 - 91 ppm Runoff was also measured independently, and all 3 had very low runoff pH levels. Very low!! C1 - 5.2 C2 - 5.4 C3 - 5.3 TDS runoff was: C1 - 597 ppm C2 - 577 ppm C3 - 647 ppm As you can see, the TDS runoff is still pretty high due to the soil. I’m going to be looking after them carefully over the next week or so to see if any deficiencies can be seen and address them to prevent any issues from becoming a problem. So far so good. Stay tuned to see how this all ends. Happy growing everyone! 20 Aug 2021 It has been nearly 5 days since I’ve fed my ladies. I’m not proud of that fact, but it is what it is. They are all looking a little drawn out and dry, and a few of the leaves on C2 have gotten some pinkish/red borders on some of its leaves. I don’t really have any reason other than pure laziness! Today is the last day that I plan on giving plain pH’ed water, but I’m going to ease into nutrients on the next feeding by using half quantities till I see how they do. Today they each were given a gallon of water. The initial pH of each gallon was 7.3. I added 3 gtts (.2ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted their pH levels to: C1 - 6.7, C2 - 6.6, and C3 - 6.7. Their TDS levels going in were: C1 - 90 ppm, C2 - 95 ppm, and C3 - 92 ppm. Runoff pH and TDS levels were: C1 - pH 5.8, TDS 422 ppm C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 529 ppm C3 - pH 5.8, TDS 489 ppm The temperature in the tent was 82F, and humidity was 53%. The plants still look pretty good, and are continuing to grow and adjust well to their recent changes. I’ve decided to just let these ladies grow naturally to see how it goes. What I mean is that I’m not planning on using any LST or HST methods to train them. I do plan on topping them at some point, but not yet. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone!

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is nice and compact and tight lots of leaves that I had too remove too open up her bud sites , stretch was also minimal ,

Buenas noticias para esta semana. 1. La semana pasada comenté que tenía una planta desordenada, pues no me había percatado que la karpa tenía un orificio abierto en el techo y estaba entrando contaminación lumínica cuando dormía y por eso estaba débil. 2. Un loco que sabe más que yo, me dijo que las puntas amarillas es algo bueno en mis plantas y no algo malo, por lo que están saludables. 3. Las flores tuvieron un gran avance y ya se notan de mejor tamaño y un excelente aroma. 4. El calor y la humedad hacen que cada planta consuma 2 lts de líquido al día. 5. Voy a iniciar Pk1314 esta semana que sigue. Malas noticias 1. Ya no tengo mota seca jajaj Buenos humos

Sep 1: there might be a bit of lower leaf damage on WP1 after the 2 C night here two nights ago. Otherwise everything seems fine and the buds are progressing. Sep 2: removed some yellowing fan leaves that had been damaged by cold temps. Sep 3: WP1 has finally stopped getting taller and is starting to flower. Good thing too cuz the days get short pretty fast now and it will be iffy as to whether this plant will finish in time. Sep 6: Well, I spoke too soon as WP1 is still getting taller, and it grew 4 inches in 3 days. This far north, it should be flowering not vegging by early September. Oh well. Lots of insect life on WP1 (ladybugs, spider, flys, few ants even) and a few aphids so it seems to be in a balance and the plant is fine. WP2 in the city was force flowered a while ago and is progressing nicely. These are in small 5-gallon pots in an attempt to limit their size and to encourage flowering.

The drying process lasted 14 days and I'm in the 2nd week of curing, I've already tried some buds and neither the smell nor the taste are great, the taste and smell of both phenotypes is lemon.

Welcome to my Apricot Auto Diary sponsored by Fastbuds & Xpert Nutrients. Day 57-63 Week 9 Last of fattening & some of ripening left of this stinky colorful gem. Possibly the best auto I've done from Fastbuds. Plant reacted really well in her fattening stage. This is her last week. Just sugars/sticky fingers & enzymes. 450ppm. Still drinking good. And will let her finish up with what's left in the pot. She is stunning as is. Nutrients Pult off everything except sugars, and enzymes. 450ppm (no NPK ppm) ph from 6.1 to 6.7. 15c 700ml. And then just water, 700ml a day, slowing down to half that on her last days. DLI 49 959 ppf over 13hrs. Lowered from 55+. Harvest after 24hr dark rest. Thanks to my sponsors Fastbuds & Xpert Nutrients. Much appreciated to all my viewers. I look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Week 9 Day 60 Hmm really dissapointed in my self this time. Blue Dream looking great ,Cinderella Jack and Purple Punch too. But then comes Trainwreck and Lemon Kix with Orange Sherbet. Buds didnt Fat up till now and they already starting to get those brown pistils. Lemon kix is Full with trichomes but looking like she gonna foxtail. I backed up the light a bit . Orange Sherbet looking better after just pH water and some Batguano - i love this stuff. Smell is also amazing, fruity with cream hints like my last one. Trainwreck looking overall good but also the buds didnt fatten up like it should be. I can just wait now 😑 Day 63 Orange Sherbet gonna be the First one to harvest Batguano did her really good.
