Second week of the flowering period ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป This week on DAY 8 of the flowering period I started replacing the wooden sticks with bigger plastic plantsticks. ๐Ÿ‘Œ The plants grew like crazy the rest of the week ๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ˜ต And they drank a lot of water ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I did a bit of pruning this week; I removed some lower and smaller branches. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰ My ceiling slopes from left to right, so on DAY14 I moved the largest plants (Triple G) on the left side. ๐Ÿ‘ On DAY14 I also reattached the branches to the plant sticks ๐Ÿ‘Œ and again bending (LST) of the branches to get a flat canopy. ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿ‘† Largest plants = Triple G = 90cm ๐Ÿ‘‡ Smallest plants = Wedding Gelato = 70cm

Week 3, 22-28 August 2025 22-28 Aug - Observed and let the seedling grow. This was another rather slow week in growth. But there is still plenty of time for this seedling to become a nice plant. There was an issue with a leaf getting stuck under my PH monitor that eventually had to be removed, kind of early to be cutting off leaves but it is what it is. Added expanded clay pebbles to the plant pot to help extend the root system. This week was also the first reservoir nutrient change. - 27 Aug changed nutrient solution - 27 Aug updated feeding schedule - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 1.1 at 68 degrees F - Light power at 30%, DLI 18 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Day 50 - Started week 8 today and things are looking good. Iโ€™m still a rookie at all this but itโ€™s looking like this girl might be a beast, at least for me. Gave her a feeding of the foxfarm trio today and did a little leaf tucking. Just waiting for her to start putting on some weight. Day 51 - Sheโ€™s looking really good and stretched another half an inch. Gave her some more water today since sheโ€™s drinking like a fish. Just gonna continue watching her grow and fatten. Day 52 - What can I say?!! This girl is gorgeous and starting to fill in and stretches another 1.5โ€ overnight. Sheโ€™s slowly starting to fill in and lovinโ€™ it. Love watching the day to day changes. Gave her just another feeding of water and will give her the foxfarm trio feeding tomorrow. Day 53 - Nothing too major to report, looks like she stopped stretching and is starting to fill out and looking good. Day 54 - All is looking good and really starting to fill in now and getting a bit frostier everyday. Two days in a row of no more stretching so hopefully sheโ€™ll really start filling in more. Day 55 - Things are taking off with this girl. Sheโ€™s starting to fill in nicely. Gave her straight water and in the next couple days, I will start week 9โ€™s schedule for the foxfarm trio. She starting to frost up a bit and loving it. Day 56 - Last of week 8 and rolling into week 9 strong. All is looking good and gave her the first of two week 9 feedings from the foxfarm trio. Starting to get a bit frosty and lovinโ€™ it.

All done and dusted on this bad boy. Nice big bushy auto that did its job from the beginning. It was always harder work than the Do Si Dos and with what Iโ€™ve hung up to dry I donโ€™t think itโ€™ll have a larger harvest either. The smell is super strong and very fruity and will give an updated the final smoke and weight. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

The Apple Betty babies are doing great ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m very pleased with the results so far, I just wished I would have known they would have such a large stretch, they D almost doubled in size in 14 days. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so, much more than my other strain that I have going as well. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. A quick snip here and there will really help the end result. At day 13 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. Iโ€™ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. ๐Ÿ˜ŠDuring the stretch, she flourished just as the girls in my big tent did as well. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing and large tops. Iโ€™ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. I will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‘Šโค๏ธ

Looking good. A bit fuller. No major changes, slow and steady. Iโ€™ve been really excited to grow these ever since they arrived as freebies with one of my seedsman orders. One is getting big enough I might even add a few bendy things to open her up a bit more and hopefully add a few more bud sites over the next few weeks. ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป

Week 6/7? Effortless grow. Got the plants alternating on ACInfinity Self watering pots. These things are the best. Saving my butt when I'm unsure when to water, plants only take in what they need when they need it. Will be flipping to flower next week. Waiting on the rest of the 4x4 to fill out. Going to top dress 50/50 of gaia green all purpose and the power bloom before the 12/12 switch. Also plan to defoliate a bit as well. Taking some snips in the event we find a fast flowering finisher or something extra piffy from the Holy Communion pack.

This lady is amazing. She hasn't any issues so far. This last week smell got stronger and now I can smell it when I enter the room. I can't wait for it to be ready.

Day 77 The canopy has really filled in nicely - the plant looks healthy, bushy, and well-trained. The SCROG net is doing its job perfectly, keeping the tops even and encouraging strong horizontal growth. Leaves are a deep, healthy green with no visible nutrient burn or deficiency. Growth appears balanced and vigorous.
