On Day 97, day 52 since the switch to 12-12, she is doing fine and continues to fattening up and put on weight. Not much to do but wait at this point. I'll start looking at trichomes soon.

A couple of days into first week of flowering. Plants look very juicy, thick and super vigorous. They like the higher ec and co2 this time around.

Will up date in a week or 2

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 5 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with the promise of blooms as she gracefully transitions into the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase. Join me as we continue this botanical saga, witnessing the emergence of blossoms, the transformation into a lush green bush, and the strategic shift from last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The botanical ballet of bending and shaping persists, guiding our Apolo F1 into a beautifully orchestrated dance of controlled chaos. Every leaf and branch is a stroke on the canvas of growth, creating a masterpiece that reflects both elegance and efficiency. The green virtuoso is not just growing; she's evolving into a captivating bush of vitality. As she enters the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase, the first signs of blooms are beginning to grace our Apolo F1. It's like witnessing the unveiling of nature's artistry, as tiny buds emerge, promising a bounty of blossoms in the weeks to come. The anticipation is as exciting as the first notes of a symphony! The bold decision to top our flourishing Apolo F1 is revealing its impact. Multiple colas are forming, creating a lush and bushy canopy. This strategic haircut is paying dividends as our green virtuoso prepares to showcase a rich and complex performance. It's a testament to the power of calculated risks in the art of cultivation. Amidst the botanical crescendo, a shift in the aqueous symphony is underway. This week marks the transition from the last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The nutrient-rich serenade continues, with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 receives the specific nourishment needed for the impending floral spectacle. With each passing day, the moon on harvest day beckons. Our green companion is on the trajectory to a bountiful harvest, and this journey is not just hers; it's a celebration for flowering girls around the world. Each bud, a testament to the collective magic of cultivation. As we marvel at the unfolding blooms and the lush greenery, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for the botanical star of our green opera. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the crescendo of blossoms and the anticipation of the moonlit harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever abundant! 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

This week was all about watching Tricombes... Her buds are fattening up nicely, especially since she has received no training really.. She is smelling my balcony up with hints of sexyness everywhere.. She has been an absolute pleasure to grow outdoors.. Only issue this week was humidity..It's really difficult to control outdoors...that has been my only challenge.. I brought her in for a few pics.. And this is what she has turned out to ❤️💚❤️💚

Learning a ton as I go. Started low stress training using rubberized wire poked down into the soil. Spent a lot of time just tucking the fan leaves down. I'm an idiot when it comes to watering. I dont think I'm getting enough down to the bottom of the pot, but dont want to over water. I'll just continue with what I'm doing.

03/06/2024- Yoooo update gang!!! So hey guys got alot going on in my life rinnow,sorry for delays on updating, started at a new office for work and with trainings and scheduling it's been brazy to say the least lol...Anyways, she is really growing now with the roots really exploding now and so forth with foliage and what not, most interesting thing is that she is handling the system surprisingly well considering I went against alot of people advice of starting her from seed so soon in the system but MEH w.e lol I'm gunna mother her and take cuttings in about 2 or 3 weeks depending on size. Again guys always nice having a solid community and help from growers and Industry heads alike thank you all!!! LFG!

First of all, I’d like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Fast Buds for allowing me the opportunity to grow their new strains! I'm starting out with CC this week and will start the CA in a couple of weeks. There is some data out there on the CC strain that seems very legit to me. If that info is correct one of the C's stands for Cookies. I really love the Girl Scout Cookies I grew from Fast Buds, if CC is related to GSC she should be amazing! 👍 Dropped the seed in the soil today, I'll update once she pops. She's front-center in the group pics. My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since Fast Buds has been kind enough to allow me to preview their new CC and CA strains I am now going to be starting a new seed every 2 weeks. This should allow me to get all of the plants I want to grow this season in the perpetual harvest rotation. I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic. Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around 3 week I'll do a FIM cut/pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope LST only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

Sticky harvest, had to run the clippers through a steel wool pad basically after every cola. She yielded 59 grams, little over 2 ounces. Smoke is smooth piney with a grape understond sweetness. Unfortunate she came down 3 weeks early, but the smoke is still pretty good. Got her in cure now.

This week, my cannabis plant is showing some signs of thirst. Unfortunately, I had to cut back on watering due to a small infestation of fungus gnats. To combat the problem, I decided to apply nematodes. Hopefully, they will take care of the larvae in the soil. Despite the reduced watering, the plant still looks strong and healthy overall. The buds are continuing to develop nicely.🌱🌱 I'm really curious to see how things progress in the coming weeks, especially now that the pest issue is being addressed.💚 Be excited for the coming weeks 💚🌱🌱

This plant is ready and I flush it RN, pretty pink dress with a lotta tricomes makes her beautiful Not a big girl so I really hope buds will be good, tasty like the smell she has

I thought I just had two of this strain, but it turns out that the 134g plant was actually a C4 hybrid! It isn't as pungent smelling as the others, but seems to have it's own unique flavor going on. I like it! 115g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] 134g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] 151g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4]  TOTAL: 400g 👍

Both ladies are growing frosty buds smelling grapes as its name suggests. Both seem to have about 7-10 days left to finish. Next week, I will start flushing.

On the start of week 4 flower the gals are doing well :) The Blueberry scent is getting stronger. I defoliated lower growth sites and cleaned up the top canopy to let more light and air in. I couldn't get everything I wanted to prune because I cant reach the back of the canopy, so some larf will be expected on my plant in the back of the box. On day 2 its all on cruize control now not much else to do but keep my reservoir on point and wait for the girls to bulk up and mature :). On day 6 I mixed up a new 5 gal reservoir with my bloom nutes. At the end of week 4 flower the girls smell great :). the smell is building every day along with the buds :) I'm really happy and surprised with the production at only week 4. It seems my clone may be optimized to my growing environment and or the increased light levels from being too close to the grow lights have accelerated the flowering process.

Week 11 (03/28/22 - 04/03/22)

So this is how things are looking after their 1st proper week of Flower, bud sites starting to develop really well..... But not much to say at this stage. More info on the video I have uploaded. Happy Growing guys

Just got done with trimming the 4x4 @greenhouseseedco Super Silver Haze / @blimburnseeds Silver Surfer Haze tent. The final yield is exactly 1000g plus some (kind of a lot)that I smoke in the last 2 weeks 😃 Also got 6, gallon size ziploc bags filled with good quality trim for concentrate. To be honest I was expecting a little more but keeping in mind that this grow I did not supplemented with bottled CO2 I think I’m good with the results. Definitely I enjoyed a lot this grow and I’ve learned even more.
