Main news of the week: we’re saying goodbye to #6. She went straight to compost. Sounds dramatic, I know. But honestly, it’s pretty simple: she wasn’t growing, had no real buds, smelled like wet coco — literally the same coco she was sitting in — and on top of that, she decided to go hermie. Well… happens. If it had been a worthy plant, I’d probably bother picking the nanners off and trying to save her. But this one was clearly some kind of outcast from the start. Plus, I still hadn’t tossed #1 and #2, and suddenly a proper pot spot under the light opened up. So #6 got chopped, and the little ones were moved into one pot. They had been living in 0.3L cups this whole time anyway. What else, what else… At the beginning of the week, I sprayed chitosan for the second and final time. For the next three weeks, the only real stress they should get is UV. Well, maybe the main light too, to some degree. It feels like there might be too much light… but also maybe not. I don’t see any clear downside yet, so I’ll keep it at full power for now. That’s 320W main light + 40W under-canopy light + 20W blue during peak hours. Development is steady. Bud sites are swelling, leaf tips are slightly burnt, so we’re clearly riding the edge here. Vertical stretch has basically stopped — maybe just a couple more centimeters added. That means irrigation-wise I’m switching back to a more vegetative strategy: keeping the substrate as wet as possible, with a small dryback of around 15%. Of course, every plant drinks differently, so it’s easier said than done. In reality, one sits closer to 10%, another one closer to 25%. The feed is almost unchanged in terms of EC and pH: EC 1.33 / pH 5.8. But potassium and phosphorus are slowly going up. That’s it for now. The fun part is still ahead. For now, we sit, rub our little paws together, and watch the buds get fat.

Still swelling nice. Nice even spread between buds which is allowing all bud sites to grow nicely.

Flush week

Everything seems ok👍

16 Diciembre: El runoff ha alcanzado los 10EC, las plantas siguen creando puntos de floración con espacio internodal corto, gracias al stress generativo, están de 80~85cm de alto aprox. Hay una sola planta que tiene más de 90cm. En unos 2 días más se alcanzarán los 21 días de floración, ese día se hará una defoliacion grande y Lollipop, después de esa defoliacion se volverá a riego vegetativo para estimular el engorde de los cogollos. 18 Diciembre: hoy la EC del runoff alcanzó los 12EC, mañana se harán más disparos de riego para bajar la EC del sustrato. Hoy también se realizó una defoliacion agresiva + Lollipop, para que haya mejor penetración de luz en el Canopy y mejor flujo de aire. Queda solo una semana de riego Generativo, después de eso se vuelve al riego vegetativo para engordar los cogollos.

Apple Betty Characteristics Brand- Herbies Seeds Sex- Feminized Flowering type- Photoperiod Suitable for Outdoor or Indoor Effect- Sugary Psychedelia Genetics- Chem’s Sister x Sour Apple x Chocolate Diesel Height- 80 - 120 cm indoors Yield- 600 - 800 g/m² indoors Flowering indoors- 55 - 65 days Outdoor finish- Late September Genotype- 40% Sativa / 60% Indica THC - 28 - 33 % Straight out of Grandma’s kitchen, Apple Betty by Herbies Seeds is a nostalgic apple pie-flavored delight with up to 33% THC and a lineage to write home about. She’ll glue you to the couch in a psychedelic daze and will never disappoint, boasting big yields in just 55-65 days of flowering. Started germination by soaking 3 seeds in Distilled water with a tiny splash of peroxide for about 4 hours. Through testing I have found just a few mls of hydrogen peroxide in your water has assisted in breaking down the seed husk, quickened seed sprouting and can prevent the seed husk from sticking to the seedling as the cotyledon leaves emerge. After the soak, planted the seed about 1/4 inch down directly into my soil mix, which is basically promix HP with worm castings, and moistened the soil with a 1 litre spray bottle of ph’d distilled water and 1 ml of Sensi Cal Mag plus 2-0-0. I have a digital humidifier which was set to 70% , and a small 250watt heater I place outside my tent behind my intake fan to draw in the warm air. Keeps the tent at a nice and cozy 25* C or 79* F. I raised my BP2500 as high as I could, and dimmed it down (manually - there is a screw on the side of the driver to adjust) to about 115watts at the wall. The seeds were planted on the evening of Aug 29/2022. I typically place a humidity dome over the pot to increase humidity during germination. All 3 sprouted on Sept 1/2022 by the end of the work day. 🌱 spent the week refilling the humidifier, and using my ph’d distilled water/cal mag solution in a spray bottle twice a day, just little spritz’s at a time. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎

Eternity Grow Cup 2025 with Plagron and Zamnesia 🌱 Runtz - Zamnesia Seeds It’s now week 11 since germination and week 7 of flowering, and our beauty is thriving! She’s loving the nutrients from Plagron, which has given her everything she needs to grow into a strong, healthy plant. We decided to take a small bud from the middle branch to try it out, and wow—it's covered in trichomes, glistening like frost. Plagron's nutrients have truly made a difference, enhancing both the size and resin production of the buds. The result speaks for itself—dense, aromatic, and full of potency. We can't wait to taste the magic! 🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥

Watering roughly the same .2L daily. Seems like a lot from what I have researched, but the top 2 inches dry out by the end of each light cycle. towlies were planted a few days behind sew's. Slowly dropped RH to 70%. wasn't sure if white discoloration was from high rh and light intensity. If not next most likely culprit is the small white aphids running through the soil getting out of hand due to high humidity. Sprayed most affected plant with all-natural gnat spray. population decreased, couldn't spot one today upon watering. Getting jeweler loop to better diagnose and treat.

Rien à dire rien à faire juste admirer la croissance jusqu’à la fleuraison

We'll update midweek..happy growing everyone!! ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 9/2/21 🐱 be careful what you wish for folks..we asked for stretch and we got it..too much in fact, the node spacing isn't good, far too wide with this strain..we lowered both lights in the tent to get this to stop and turned up the fans to really beat on these for a few days..hopefully this will strengthen them, I really would hate to have to steak these later... ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

She has smaller flowers this time but more dense, purple fade at the end that indicates shes very blueberry

Love this strain absolutley exploded with thc this last week. The smells are like zkittlez floral and hash its too morish

Hallo zusammen 🤙 Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

So after the hailstorm last week, one of my colas were broken. I taped it together and used wire ties to hold it together and it has survived. It continued to grow an inch and is flowering! I thought for sure I had lost this cola. I also used the "question" forum here on grow diaries regarding my broken cola and like the responses I received. We have had some very cool nights and warm days but my Skunk has continued to thrive. The one thing I think is very interesting to notice is how crooked the buds look on this plant. Is it because I grew two colas or because of the trauma from a broken cola?? I have no idea but time will tell. Please like and comment and come back!

She seems to be budding nicely. However in the past few days all her lower leaves are turning yellow. I know this plant is a heavy feeder and I thought I was feeding enough. She is not growing anymore, but she looks like she has a nitrogen deficiency. I do use the same water which has a low 6 ph. Today I gave her water with a 7.0 ph. Just to get her out the constant ph zone she has been in. 9/17 fed 15 MLS of foxfarm Tiger Bloom 9/19 fed 15 MLS of Tiger Bloom. 9/21 fed 4 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 1/2 Teaspoon Foxfarm Beasti Bloom and 12 MLS of Foxfarm Grow Big. Per 2 gallons. Day 98 She has a lot of yellow lower leaves. So I hit her up with a little grow big. From what I read, she still needs some nitrogen. Lower leaves turning yellow. Think it's a little too early for that. She is a big eater and it looks like she has not been getting enough base nutrients. Her pot is very heavy, so now I'm going to hold back water until she drys a little. Getting cold out at night. Every morning I go out and she was drenched in dew. This plant I'm counting on giving me bud until at least spring. So now I have been sneaking her in the garage at night with 47 percent humidity. She seems to be very happy about this. Right now 9 pm 60 degrees, humidity 71. Humidity is way too high for her to be sitting outside. Her buds are fattening up. Some time last week I gave her a feeding of just Foxfarm Beasti Bloom. Beasti has no nitrogen and she was not happy about that. A lot of lower leaves turned yellow. So I gave her Foxfarm Tiger Bloom and that seemed to make her happy again. Will not make that mistake again.

Gary Patron - Nine Weeks Harvest Day 122 🚿 I've watered her every three days with 2L of RO tap water, pH'd to 6.3👌🏻 I'll be leaving her to dry back over the next couple of days in preperation for harvest, which is a few days from now 💪 ✂️ No work on her this week, as I gaver her a good defoliation last week - she will be getting a wet trim and more defoliation a day or two before I harvest her. 🌸 Shes in week nine of bloom, and her flower is absolutely covered in trichomes, mabye the most I've ever seen - the majority of her trichomes have turned milky clear with some ambers starting to appear. Her pistils have also all dried and turned amber, which on the backing of her vibrant lime green flower with some purple tips, is both striking and inviting. I will leave her to finish maturation over the next couple of days, while I fight with the temperatures trying to keep them in the 20's with the weather we're having at the moment! I'd say shes about 3-5 days from harvest at this point 👍
