I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

Started up the UV lights, set to turn on for an hour in the middle of each day's light cycle. These additional wavelengths being absorbed will add flavor, and the plants will also respond to the radiation by stimulating resin production. Flowering is really starting to kick into gear, looking and smelling better every week, and I'm hoping for some real chunkiness on those stems come harvest. Been doing a bit of semi-flushing my medium with PH'd water as my runoff ppm's have been getting a bit high, suggesting a little salt buildup. The Amnesia's been doing well, with its striking haze-y terp profile showing strongly as its buds continue to swell. The Gorilla blue has only four larger colas, and has otherwise basically formed into a kind of blueberry bush style structure, with small sparkling nuggets densely blanketing the canopy. The Lemon Cheese is looking frosty as all hell, with many medium sized colas additionally packed densely together and continuing to develop. The Purple Queen is getting purply and has a ton of large colas, looking like an absolute dream, and still with a solid three or four weeks of flowering time to go. Only time will tell what is the true quality of these genetics. But it's been a fun ride so far. Cheers, World

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

As week six comes to an end, plant one is looking really good, very bushy and lots of nodes growing. Where it was topped a week ago there is very healthy growth on the two new shoots and the stem is looking nice and fat, so have decided to start week seven with this plant in LST. As for plant two, that is starting to look much better. The roots have come out of the bottom of the pot and are crawling down the capilliary matting. They should reach the solution any day now. So for for now this plant is being fed on its own schedule. At least a couple of weeks away from LST though.

9/13 Took the last special Kush today. I had too. Those fucking locusts were eating more and more. At least the trichs looked good. The second plant is straight fire! They're ALL good. I'll have to do the review. Tenth planet is swelling up and trichs are getting cloudier. They are starting to eat the chem dog too but it needs to bulk up and the trichs aren't there yet. Mk ultra natural may be some of the best quality this year. I'm losing SOME to tje locusts but it seems they avoid the frostier stuff. At least I'm hoping. This is a great plantvand despite the nugs being so tight and stuff it just needs more time and im going to give it to her. Pink kush is actually look9ng like it might finish. But the locusts have STRIPPED a lot of that. I'll keep an eye on them and keep this uodated.

I've been pulling fan leaves this week . 1. To slow the top down . 2. To encourage side branch growth. 3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

35 days after planting seed. Plants have bushed out quite a lot more this week and gained some height. I don't think it is flowering yet, but I expect them to begin soon. Temps problem has come back the last couple of days I have struggled to get it over 15c. Plants appear to be healthy apart from what looks like nute burn on a few leaves. Decided to cut back on the rhizotonic this week, will probably cut it out altogether next week. A few changes to the set up this week, changed light from Meizhi "450w" to a Meizhi "900w" and put turned my autopot system on. I have noticed there are lots of lower branches developing underneath but are not able to get much light as are under a dense upper canopy of large leaves. would I benefit from any sort of cropping?

Day 42- ok so start of week 6…..she still has a lot of potential. Top buds are swelling good. She smells of citrus, mainly the mandarin but the lemon twang is there. I knew she was looking light in color but we’ve already started the fade so I’m still feeding all the ladies the same.

Learned a lot from this grow and am very happy with the results. Pulled 2.8 Oz and 1.1 Oz of trim/popcorn buds in a one gallon pot. Definitely wont be doing that again, but had a lot of fun throughout the entire process. Going to be starting another grow soon! Very excited for that.

MAY 20TH - TODAY is the first day the plants wake up from their 18/6 cycle down from 2 weeks at 20/4. They got their first SCHWAZZE and shaping at this stage getting them ready to grow into the beautiful sea of green each of these beds are to become. The uniformity of the clones reminds me how much of this has become muscle memory to me, From doing thousands of plants per grow this has become second nature for me. The ladies are 100% organic at this point and our feed I am considering releasing it for anybody who is interested as a way to fund raise at the same time ! If anybody is interested in the recipe let me know in the comments, If we get enough interest I will put up a site that will constantly update with each weekly feed & steps done on the plants. ANNOUNCEMENT : ** It has taken me 20 re trys & double the amount of ERROR codes to get this update LIVE. I will be staying on this website until the end of this grow year, Then I will be setting up a Patreon & migrating over to Patreon and Twitter ( X ) I am completely done with GROW DIARIES.** SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS !!! PROMO CODE GREEN PLANET : LEGACY PROMO CODE MARS HYDRO : LEGACY PROMO CODE SEEDSMAN : LEGACY10 MAY 22ND 2024 - SCHWAZZE COMPLETED YESTERDAY. These photos where taken DIRECTLY after their SCHWAZZE. NOW 2-3 WEEKS of 18/6 then another SCHWAZZE, Top DRESSING of Mineralized Phosphate, Power Bloom and Glacial Rock Dust and swap to 14/10. We will be using 14/10 for 3 weeks then going to 12/12 to flower these beauties out. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW OUR SOCIALS & JOIN OUR GREAT COMMUNITIES !

Another week the little lady keeps plugging away. Trichs are just about all cloudy. Harvest time could be this week.
