Aug 16: Mimosa Shot is progressing but it has been cool and rainy lately. There are indications of P deficiency because of the cool weather. The top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom will do its thing so I’m not worried about it. Hoping for more direct sunlight though.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 2 (12/12 from Seed) Folder #5 | Grow Bags | PRO-MIX Week two is now complete, and this girl is developing beautifully and very consistently. All plants in this run are growing extremely similar, which is always a great sign at this stage. Structure, color, and pace are aligned across the board. By the end of the week, they are pushing into their third to fourth pair of true leaves, with healthy spacing and no signs of stress. Leaf color is vibrant, growth is balanced, and everything points toward a solid foundation being built below the surface. ⸻ 🌱 Medium & Roots — PRO-MIX + Mycorrhizae These plants are growing in PRO-MIX inside grow bags, and this medium deserves a short explanation. PRO-MIX comes pre-inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi, which play a major role early on: • They form a symbiotic relationship with the roots • Increase nutrient and water uptake • Improve root surface area • Help plants handle stress and environmental swings better At this stage, while top growth looks calm and controlled, a lot of the real work is happening underground. Strong roots now mean easier transitions later, especially when stretch and flower demand kick in. ⸻ 💡 Light Cycle & Environment All plants are running 12/12 from seed, no exceptions. Current environment (Week 2): • Temperature: stable and warm, optimized for early development • Humidity: kept slightly higher to support root and leaf expansion • PPFD: elevated for this stage on purpose The higher PPFD is intentional. These plants are healthy, rooted, and responding well, so we allow them to work a little harder. This encourages: • Stronger stems • Faster metabolic rhythm • Better preparation for the upcoming transition phase No stress signals, no clawing, no fading — so we stay the course. ⸻ ✂️ Training No training at this stage. No topping, no bending, no interference. Right now, the goal is symmetry, rhythm, and consistency. We let the plant show us her natural structure before making any decisions later on. ⸻ Genetics Talk — GMO Cookies This is the one that has me genuinely curious. GMO Cookies is known for that deep garlic / savory punch, layered over the classic cookies backbone. It’s not a “loud early” plant — this is usually a cultivar that reveals itself later, once structure and resin production begin to speak. Right now, we’re not expecting aromas or explosive growth — and that’s exactly how it should be. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Faster node stacking • Thicker stems • Increased leaf size • Continued uniformity across plants Do NOT expect yet: • Strong smells • Stretch explosion • Flower expression Next week is still about building the engine, not revving it. ⸻ 🌿 Final Thoughts This GMO Cookies run is doing exactly what it should be doing — nothing more, nothing less. Healthy, controlled, consistent growth is always the goal, and this folder is on point. Very excited to see how this one expresses herself as we move forward.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 2: The Rise of the Green Titan Greetings, fellow growers and botanical enthusiasts! Our Apolo F1 has sprouted into a verdant marvel, standing tall and proud, like a green titan rising from the soil. Join me in this second-week report as we explore the wonders of growth, the magic of transplantation, and the botanical symphony of nutrients. This week marked a significant milestone – the grand migration to an 11L fabric pot, generously provided by the good folks at Royal Queen Seeds. Now, let's talk fabric pots and why they're the VIP treatment for our plant's roots. Fabric pots, oh, they're like the five-star hotels for roots! Unlike their traditional counterparts, fabric pots offer superior aeration. The porous fabric breathes, preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged and ensuring oxygen reaches every nook and cranny of our Apolo F1's root system. It's like giving our plant a breath of fresh air, quite literally. But the benefits don't end there – fabric pots also prevent roots from circling the container, promoting a more extensive and fibrous root system. This, my friends, translates to a happier, healthier plant with increased nutrient uptake and overall vigor. It's like our Apolo F1 is getting a botanical spa day every day! Now, let's dive into the alchemical mix that accompanied this transplantation – my special Aptus Holland super soil blend. Picture this as the magic potion for plant prosperity. First in the concoction is Micromix Soil, a blend of microorganisms and stimulants that's like a botanical feast. These microorganisms act as the unsung heroes of the soil, enhancing nutrient availability and fostering a symbiotic relationship with our green companion. Next up, enter the Substrate Buffer Powder – the pH conditioner extraordinaire. Unstable pH conditions begone! This powder, featuring micronized calcium, acts as the stabilizing force, ensuring our plant enjoys a balanced pH banquet. And let's not forget the All-in-One Pellet – the time-released 100% organic pellet fertilizer. Packed with a compounded NPK fertilizer, magnesium, sulfur, and organically chelated microelements, it's like a gourmet meal for our Apolo F1. The L-amino acids are the chef's kiss, enhancing nutrient absorption and overall plant health. During the transplantation spectacle, I introduced Mycor Mix once again. This blend of endomycorrhizae, fixed on a vegetal carrier, is like the entourage for our Apolo F1, feeding and protecting the fungi that, in turn, support our plant's growth. It's the ultimate teamwork, a botanical Avengers assembling to ensure our green hero thrives. And the best part? Our Apolo F1 is reacting with sheer botanical enthusiasm, reaching for the stars and soaking in the nutrients like a plant on a mission. Before I conclude this week's report, a heartfelt shoutout to Royal Queen Seeds for the royal treatment in the form of fabric pots, to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Grow Diaries for being the virtual arena where our horticultural tale unfolds. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our Apolo F1 Mission Diary – where we'll witness the continued ascent of our green titan. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS APOLLO F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Week 16 (Harvest) 1-2 Drying day 1 Temperature: 24.5 to 19.5 degrees Humidity: 65% to 50% The girls are ready to be harvested! Before chopping them down, i took a lot of pictures. I was able to remove most of the soil from the Biscotti #2 to see the rootball. I hang the plants as a whole to have a slow dry. The exhaust fan is on setting 4. 2-2 Drying day 2 Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 57% I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion. 3-2 Drying day 3 Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked up on the drying plants, and i see there are some buds touching other buds, so i chopped the plants in half. The buds are still to the main stem for a slow dry, but are hanging more spreaded out to prevent any budrot issues. I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying. 4-2 Drying day 4 Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% 5-2 Drying day 5 Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell, I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry. For the next grow i already germinated 2x Chemdog (GreenHouseSeeds) 2x Gorilla Kush (GanjaFarmerSeeds) and 1x Deep Candy CBD (GreenHouseSeeds) And I have some upgrades planned aswell! I bought a autopot kit with 4 15L pots, this way the plants will have water and air 24/7 whenever they need it. I have seen alot of great results using autopots so i am very exited to try it out! And I bought a small camera so i can shoot some weekly timelapses! Feel free to Follow me if you like to get notified for the upcoming diaries! Thanks for checking out this diary, peace! (More harvest updates coming in the next couple of days!) Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the seeds, and Plagron for the collection of nutrients, and the opportunity to participate in the POWERBUDS contest! It was a fun and learningful adventure!

Week 6 This Lady is up to 8 tops😎. Now I just have to get each top in the right locations at which point I’ll let them get a few nodes taller and then flip. This Lady is growing a little slower than her roommate (A Mimosa EVO) so I left a few extra fan leaves on her in the hopes that will speed her up a bit. I have noticed that this plant seems to throw the two main branches at a node but it also throws out additional branches. I’ve had a plant do this before and in my experience it makes the buds denser. We will see how it goes with this lady. Cooler internals are: 6.0 pH 0.4 EC 56 F solution temp. I can’t wait to flip the tent !!!! 🔥🔥 Onward 😎🍻

She is lookin like an identical twin to my first blackberry and I love it. I love this strain. As an avid gardener, it's a beautiful flower just to have on display. She is moving along better than the WCOG and BDM even though she is in the same soil. No smell yet but I expect that unforgettable deep berry smell to kick in next week. I fed her the above ratio of nutrients today,

Erster, photoperiodischer Outdoorgrow. Hätte einiges besser machen können, jedoch hatte die Pflanze keine Schädlinge und hat sich insgesamt gut entwickelt :) Habe leider keinen Südbalkon aber bin trotzdem happy mit dem Ergebnis!

The dame's a sight to behold, all lush and green, but there's something missing. The flowers, they're just not there. Tiny ones, a few here and there, like stars in a dark sky. I left her in the care of the smart watering system while I was away, a gamble that paid off. She's healthy, strong, but as I suspected the harvest will be slim. A rookie mistake, they all say. But I'm learning, and that's worth something. I'll give her a few more weeks, maybe she'll surprise me.
