Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Plant got topped

Jetzt beginnt die Ernte langsam ihren Schatten vorauszuwerfen. Jede Woche zeigt diese Apricot Auto ein neues Gesicht. Was vor wenigen Wochen noch wie eine sauber trainierte Outdoor-Pflanze aussah, entwickelt sich nun immer mehr zu einer beeindruckenden Sammlung harziger Colas. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen macht sich jetzt richtig bezahlt. Die offene Pflanzenstruktur sorgt dafür, dass nahezu jeder Haupttrieb ausreichend Licht erhält und sich gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt einer dominanten Hauptblüte stehen inzwischen zahlreiche kräftige Colas im Mittelpunkt, die Woche für Woche an Größe und Dichte gewinnen. Besonders schön zu beobachten ist die Entwicklung der Blüten. Die Kelche beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen, viele der ersten Blütenstempel färben sich bereits orange, während an den Spitzen weiterhin frische weiße Pistillen entstehen. Genau diese Mischung zeigt, dass die Pflanze noch einmal ordentlich Energie in den Endspurt investiert. Auch die Harzproduktion legt deutlich zu. Inzwischen sind nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die Sugar Leaves von einer dicken Trichomschicht überzogen. Je näher man herangeht, desto deutlicher wird, wie frostig die Blüten mittlerweile aussehen. Die großen Fächerblätter verlieren langsam etwas Farbe – ein typisches Bild einer Pflanze, die ihre gespeicherten Reserven zunehmend in die Blütenbildung steckt. Insgesamt wirkt sie jedoch weiterhin vital, stabil und ausgesprochen gesund. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Blüten dichter, schwerer und aromatischer. Wenn das Wetter weiterhin mitspielt, dürfte in den kommenden Tagen noch einmal ein ordentlicher Gewichtszuwachs bevorstehen. Ich freue mich schon darauf zu sehen, wie sich diese Apricot Auto auf den letzten Metern noch einmal entwickelt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The finish line is finally coming into sight. Every week this Apricot Auto reveals a new side of herself. What started as a carefully trained outdoor plant has now transformed into a beautiful canopy full of resin-covered colas. The training from the previous weeks is now paying off perfectly. The open structure allows almost every top to receive excellent sunlight, resulting in an even canopy where multiple main colas continue to develop together instead of a single dominant top. The flowers have clearly entered their swelling phase. The calyxes are becoming thicker, many of the early pistils have already turned orange, while fresh white hairs continue to emerge on the upper buds. This combination is always a great sign that the plant is still pushing hard toward the finish. Resin production has increased noticeably once again. The buds are becoming increasingly frosty, and even the sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes. Up close, the flowers are beginning to develop that sticky, icy appearance every grower hopes to see. Some of the larger fan leaves are gradually fading as the plant redirects its stored nutrients into flower production. This is a completely natural part of late flowering, while the overall plant still looks healthy, vigorous and well-balanced. Now comes the most exciting stage of the entire grow. Every passing day adds a little more weight, a little more density and another layer of resin. If the weather stays cooperative, the final weeks should reward all the patience invested since day one. I can't wait to see how this Apricot Auto finishes her journey.

This has been smooth sailing this week.. plants needing minimal attention, gave a foliar feed with a weak cal/mag/nitrogen mix. Am about to drop the tank and flush for a day and then redose with nutes. Trialing a bi-weekly flush this time.. see how it goes.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Hey everyone 😀. Another nice week goes by with a great development :-). Next week it will be placed in the flower chamber with a time interval of 12/12 hours. 1 g of GHSC enhancer was added per liter of water. I sprayed neem oil again as a preventive measure, hence the dark shine :-) The tent was completely cleaned and the humidifier was refilled.

Going well

This week I didn't fill the reservoir, so they were still using the solution from the last week and then the remaining moisture from the soil. I spotted some sus looking parts in the Glookies and since it looks done and started fading very quickly once the reservoir was empty, I decided to chop it on day 70F (first day of week 19). The others, especially the GMO, look like they can keep going a bit longer, so I gave them a watering directly into the pot.

Number one in looks awesome I mean it's got flowers everywhere kind of smells like a sweet rotten apple almost kind of funky crazy butt structure though crazy bus structure number two and it looks like I'm coming across a nitrogen deficiency on it and try to fix it and root of tea for him this week so should be good too totally different see no type both California snow Fastbuds

De nuevo familia, os actualizo la siguiente semana de estas maravillas, cookies gelato. Hubo problemas ambientales, los cuales al romper el ciclo salieron plátanos , pero los pillamos a tiempo rociamos y eliminamos todos los posibles plátanos. Veremos cómo avanza pero no se abandonará ningún trabajo, hasta el final. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: 1 ml x L Flowering black line , vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Beta shark, vía radicular. 0,3 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Betazyme, vía radicular. 0,05 ml x L Gold Joker, vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Silver, vía radicular. . Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

This week I added Alg-a-mic to the mix, hopefully this will help to revitalise the plant. It seems like the tacoing 🌮 hasn't worsened since last week.

Endnu en topping og så skal hun bare have lov til at vokse og gøre sin ting! Kannabia er klart et frø mærke jeg vil blive ved at dyrke Kannabia og Zamnisia er også et godt match og dyrke sa

Strong genetics, resistant, fast enough, easy to grow and never pretentious. I will try further training techniques on this strain, while waiting to make more room in the box to plant the Red hot cookie as well. If you like sweet flavors and fragrant plants this is definitely for you! Soon new updates for a cycle of only plants in "monstercropping", to continue my eternal red garden 😁🦄 thanks for following me up to here and leave a comment and suggestions 🦄👍🤘

Left side i did some topping Right side soms lst

Last two weeks have gone well for her. She will be unleashed finally in the next couple weeks if weather permits! I can only imagine what she is going to do once her roots can spread. I predict a massive size increase once she is put into the ground. I know she will have to be supported after about a month outside so it will grow without problems. Don't want her to snap her own branches because of awkward wait placement or because her buds become too heavy. Plants definitely produce better when they have supports for the buds/ branches. Allows them to stack on bud instead of putting energy towards holding itself up. Until next time happy growing to everyone!
