I harvested on the last day of week 13. I didn't water for 3 days before harvesting and hung the branches to dry without trimming. I let them hang for 5 days, then trimmed them and am now curing the buds for another 4 weeks.

🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿 Hey Grow Fam, We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold! The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :) But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone. To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! ( If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem) Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 22 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17584.1, Been an interesting week in the garden.. At the beginning of the week, decided to increase the soil moisture level a bit. This was huge mistake.. Upgraded the reservoir and raised the height by 2ft. Also refreshed the lung room’s carbon filter. Bud growth was swelling up beautifully. But growth started to droop so switched the soil moisture back, but it was too late. The damage was already done. By then end of the week, lost TKO.. Heady OG is still recovering, but I think she’ll be okay. There were even issues in the veg tent and discovered that two watering units were malfunctioning. Thankfully this issue was fixed and by the end of the week all mothers are back to looking healthy and are thriving! Also gave away the two spare Heady OG clones and been tending to rest with basic RO waterings as needed. More so on the positive side, finally have all that I need to begin my journey into tissue culture and plan to begin soon! Also, even though TKO was lost in the flower tent (damnit Ensign), she is still alive and thriving in the veg tent! So yea. A lot happened this week. Both good and really bad.. Despite the issues, my ganja journey has still just begun and will continue to grow until I succeed. Everything is impossible… Until it’s not. Anyways. Onwards to next grow week.

This particular pheno grows like a tree in veg and her main stalk is already the thickest of the lot. Nice! --- Also glad the newer moms are rooting and getting larger with healthy growth! The original Garlic Budder #1 mother (front right quadrant) is a stretcher and is already getting pretty tall! --- The Gorilla Goat #1 mom (back right quadrant) is also getting bigger and growth is starting to bush out. She’s still the smallest, but should hopefully start to ramp up with growth soon. --- Let’s go girls! - [16:40]: Both of the remaining clones in the propagation tray (Gorilla Goat #2 and the original Garlic Budder #2) look healthy and don’t need to be watered. --- Also gave away the two spare Heady OG BX #1 clones. Hope both thrive with health in their new homes. --- Thanks sisters! Planters of the trees! Ca-Caw! - [19:42]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! I got Headies!! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are looking healthy and wow buds are swelling up! --- Bud colas are everywhere! --- Since I forgot to take readings last week, going to take them now. - [20:39]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 51.5" tall. ------ TKO was about 48" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 2.5" away from the grow light (LV5 @ ~390.1W). ------ TKO was about 6" away from the grow light. - [20:48]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 916 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 39.57 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (LV5 @ ~390.1W). ------ TKO was around 792 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 34.21 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle. - [20:57]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. --- Plan to upgrade the reservoir by raising it up a bit.

Since heat has always been the most limiting factor, more water is not always better.. --- Sorry! Please don’t die on me ladies!! ------ [ » SMOKES A FEW BOWLS « ] - [+00:22]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking beautiful and growth is looking healthy! --- Compared to the TKO mother (back left quadrant), Heady OG (front left quadrant) is looking droopy, but she’s still green. --- Wow the TKO mom is looking really healthy with huge fan leaves. Beautiful! --- Both the Gorilla Goat (back right quadrant) and Garlic Budder (front right quadrant) mamas are looking healthy and perky! --- The spare clones (Gorilla Goat #2 and Garlic Budder #2) are looking healthy but need watering. let’s go Ensign! - [+00:26]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 255.4g → 300.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 231.2g and was watered 4 days ago. ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 252.7g and was watered 6 days ago. --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until both cups weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+00:44]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 325.3g ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 315.6g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent and back onto the propagation tray. - [+02:06]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Let’s go! ------ [ » ~30 MINUTES LATER « ] --- Alright! Stool has been built and she’s pretty sturdy! --- Also decided to refresh and change out the lung room’s carbon filter. The filter is long overdue because I think this will be the first time in this room. --- Also swapped out the lung room’s carbon filter and changed the orientation from horizontal to vertical. --- Now the carbon filter is resting on the table with the exhaust fan point straight up. The slight downside is that exhaust vent is S-shaped which will reduced the efficiency of the fan, but that’s okay. --- As for the carbon filter, both units are refillable! Plan to refresh the old filter unit with new carbon before the next filter swap out (have a bag of fresh carbon pellets). --- Anyways! Now the tank is 24in higher than it was. Since the auto-watering system is gravity fed, this should raise the PSI slightly more. --- This also frees up some floor space under the table. --- While rearranging the Ecowitt WittFlow units, I discovered an issue with two of the units. --- Both the front left (Heady OG BX1 #1 mom) and back right (Gorilla Goat #1 mom) for the veg tent were malfunctioning. --- Shaka.. When the walls fell.. --- Will check on the veg garden this evening. - [16:26]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Okay! Well the garden looks the green and healthy! --- But now the droopy growth from the Heady OG mother (front left quadrant) is making sense.. - [16:42]: Checked all Ecowitt WittFlow units again for water flow. --- Yep. Out of all six units, two are faulty.. --- Both units are giving false readings. Both are connected to the Ecowitt WittBoy WiFi hub and the app seems to be working just fine. --- But when the valves are on in the app, there’s still no water flow. --- Swapped the batteries out on both units and checked the intake tubing. Even used the manual override to open valve. --- Still no water.. --- Need to order new units later.. --- Shaka.. --- Well until the new units arrive, will need to hand water both moms. --- Let’s go! - [17:12]: Filled a pump sprayer with 4 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto the Heady OG BX1 #1’s straw mulch. - [17:36]: Filled the pump sprayer with 2 cups of RO water. ------ Added a pinch of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --- Gave the sprayer a good shake before spraying the entire solution onto Gorilla Goat #1’s straw mulch. --- Check on both clones in the propagation tray (Gorilla Goat #2 and the original Garlic Budder #2) and growth looks healthy. Also no need to water! - [17:43]: Checked and updated the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 38% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 57% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 61% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- Shaka.. When the walls fell. --- Well soil moisture levels all look great now! --- But looking back at my logs, Heady OG’s WittFlow unit started failing about 14 days ago. Also think Gorilla Goat’s unit started failing around a week ago. --- Damnit Ensign!! --- Even though these entries are literally typed and logged for daily grow reference, I completely failed to notice the soil levels dropping from around 41% down to 20% over the past two weeks. --- Wow. ------ [ » SEVERAL BOWLS LATER « ] - [20:05]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Nice! Well the garden is looking okay for the most part. --- Heady OG is still looking droopy and yet wow buds are swelling up! --- TKO is looking stressed bud buds look okay. --- Both looked way better at the beginning of the week.. - [20:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Plan to start and modify from there. Also have reached out to Laur for basic beginner tips and cannabis specific advice for tissue culture. --- Even with all the current grow issues (also had a recent computer failure), getting hyped for tissue culture! - [23:12]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow Heady OG is looking better!

Shouldn’t have increased the soil moisture levels and still can’t believe that increasing the levels by 10-15% was enough to cause TKO to go from green and healthy, to burnt and yellow. --- Since I’m only flowering two plants this cycle, by losing TKO, just lost half the garden. --- Wow. A lot can happen in a week. --- Shaka. When the walls fell.. --- Well at least Heady OG made it through the week and am hoping she survives. --- Anyways, onwards to next. ------ [ » SMOKES SEVERAL BOWLS « ] [END OF WEEK 22]

Week 2 of flower for White Widow Shes really looking great! Colour is spot on id say, stretched her out a bit so the light has better chance to penetrate to the lowers. Really looking forward to what comes from this girl in the next 2 weeks or so.

Wow week 8 and Pineapple Express#2 Fem seems to be flipping to flower.Our Elixir CBD Auto is in full flower and continues to give off these peppermint vibes, this is definitely a medical strain and even though shes so small i have learnt alot from being sure to keep your Autos in full sun at all times during the vegetative stage ro ensure maximum yeild.From what ive gathered is that the strain itself isnt a big yeilder and due to the fact that she has not had enough sunlight we will end up with the small head you see here.The Good news is i still have one seed of hers left and next time i will be planting her will be in season😁.Our Hindu Kush Auto continues to flower beautifully and her smell? Nothing short of incredible😍..Our Purple Kush CBD Auto has impressed me most of all, she seems to have reacted so well to the training and the nutes as well as the minimal sunlight conditions.She stands at about 17 cm in length and her side stalks are about 10 cm in length..Our Girlscout Cookies Auto has exploded and is overtaking her grow bag rapidly, hopefully her training and folage removal has worked in allowing her to grow even larger now...Our Blue Cheese and Granddaddy Black are growing up quick and with all our strains having now received some light folage removal i expect they will use that extra energy to really bust out.

7.9.24 I had to some major jungle patrol! Everything is going crazy! I was adjusting the plants around to maximise light exposure. One branch bent. FBP1, the branches are getting heavier. I had to add my last 2 stakes. I used duct tape and some imagination, tying with string, for the rest of it, too. I'm not going to be able to move them again, so tick, toc ladies! I added 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2, containing the following nutrients:- ♡1ml per litre of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml per litre of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ♡2ml per litre of cal-mag. After watering each pot with 3 litres in each, with the above nutrients. FBP3. She has again spilled out, run off. I might have mixed my soil, and used less perlight or coco. I've overwatered that plant twice now, fairly recently I'll only give her 2 litres in future. Continuing to give the others 3 litres. I've continued to defoliate. The leaf in the photo was the only one and it was like halfway up the plant. Not sure what it was, so if you know, tell me in a comment please! 8.9.24 Have not needed to adjust any ties. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.2. With the following nutrients. ♡1ml of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡2ml of cal-mag I don't want to overwater, I also need to not let the soil dry enough to kill the microbes. I'll keep an eye on it, and adjust it as necessary. 8.9.24 I had to adjust ties and support for several branches. The fruits are getting heavier. I really hope they get done before anything breaks under the weight. I keep checking the trichomes daily through the jewellers loupe, each plant, and different bud sites. 9.9.24 Dijons birthday 💔 Ok, today another branch on FBP1, Branch wasn't snapped open, just fell under the weight. I tied it back up. I have some potash, which arrived today. I was going to top dress, however I've decided to cut all nutes now. I'm just watering with dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.8-6.0. "Final flush". I will continue this for next watering or so, then switch to straight RO water. Also I'm slowly lowering the temperature of the water, to about 70°F. When I see any amber, I will throw into the dark period for 48h. 10.9.24 After having my last question answered, I have decided to go ahead and call it a day on this grow. The plants had a final watering last night, with regular dechlorinated tap water PH'd to 6.0. This evening I have put all equipment inside the tent, like the dehumidifier, tower fan. I have split the stems, I mean why not? 😅 I will leave in the dark period for 48h then chop the whole grow, to dry together in the tent. FBP2 I am satisfied with the readiness. FBP1 and FBP3, are mostly glassy still but they need to come down too. I need to get it done and dried, if it's not the best smoke, it's my fault for being incompetent due to inexperience. I just don't want to risk messing up my FBP2, due to waiting on the others. So it is what it is I guess. We'll have to wait and see. This was quite possibly the worst time imaginable to do this run. I've had so much personal tragedy and upheaval, (of course we never know when these things will strike); combined with the unexpected conditions, including temperature and humidity throughout the grow. This being my FIRST grow of any plant at all, and these being autoflowers was particularly stressful. Fingers crossed that it works out in the end. All I'm concerned about now is drying in the closed conditions of the tent environment, and avoiding mould issues. The finish line is in sight. I'm so glad, now I can get back to my life. Will update, when I harvest! 🙂

02.11.'24 After 5 days of drying, this little girl who was a little bigger than a meter gave 950 grams and a little bit of popcorn...this picking was 870 and a little bit of popcorn, and 4-5 weeks ago during a storm, one branch broke, which yielded about 100, but let's say 80 for sure, a total of 950 grams of beautiful, huge, potent buds

What a happy girl! Have added no nutes yet and letting the soil do the work for now (NFTG4+extra perlite). I have done a second dosing of malted barley that was hand ground and dusted before watering. Seems to enjoy the soil and light so far. Wish I could get temps up reliably but the electric heater had temp swings that were going to cause issues, so she's gonna live in the 68-72 day time and 64 nighttime for now Also! Wanted to include a short video of her dancing in the wind😊

WOW that was a much needed week of plumping up. What a wonderful difference 1 week made in the tent. The ladies are really looking healthy and beautiful. Absolutely caked in crystals. My guess/hope is another 4-7 days of plumping up, then a week to mature and ripen up before harvest. Hoping to see some color soon but the smell is wonderful. Smells creamy. 😍😍 Hopefully what I've learned and changed from the previous grows is paying off, they are nice and short, fairly level. Most of the flowers are in direct light. Was pretty worried and thankfully for no reason. Cheers to another week of plumping up 🙏🙏🙏

Week 9 - Day 59 (from seed) Tropicana Cookies Auto by Fast Buds Update: Yesterday I watered her with 5ml Plagron Green Sensation and 6ml of Bud Candy in 2 liters of distilled water. No pH adjustment. This should help push the buds a bit more in this final phase. Plant status: She’s stacking up nicely! Buds are really starting to swell and fill out, especially around the main cola. There’s a heavy coating of trichomes — mostly milky with just a few clears left, no amber yet from what I can see. The sugar leaves have a nice frost to them and the aroma is getting stronger each day — very sweet and fruity. Leaves are mostly healthy, although a few of the older fan leaves are starting to fade, which is expected at this stage. No major signs of deficiency or stress. I think she’s entering her final push. Based on trichome development and overall appearance, I’d estimate maybe 10–14 days left. I’ll likely start the flush in 3-4 days unless I see amber trichomes sooner. Any thoughts or feedback are welcome — feel free to check the trichome pics and let me know what you’d do!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green realm! Week 8 of our Apolo F1's cosmic journey has unfolded with breathtaking speed, as she hurtles towards the final frontier of harvest. Join me as we reflect on this remarkable odyssey, filled with growth, discovery, and the promise of a bountiful yield. Our journey with Apolo F1 began eight weeks ago, a small seedling bursting with potential. With each passing week, she has grown and flourished, defying expectations and surpassing milestones with ease. From the delicate tendrils of her infancy to the lush canopy of her maturity, she has been a beacon of botanical brilliance. As we enter the final weeks of flowering, the floral symphony reaches its crescendo. Buds swell and mature, filling the air with their intoxicating aroma. Each bloom is a testament to the meticulous care and nurturing environment provided by our dedicated community of growers. Together, we have cultivated a garden of wonders, and the fruits of our labor are now within reach. As a testament to our shared passion for exploration and discovery, I've included a time-lapse video of me building an Apolo ship with Legos. This playful homage to our green companion serves as a reminder of the boundless creativity and ingenuity that defines our community. Just as we construct our own little corner of the universe, so too does Apolo F1 continue to inspire us with her growth and vitality. As we approach the culmination of this extraordinary journey, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. To Royal Queen Seeds ( Love the new Logo by the way ) for providing the genetic star of our green opera, to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fueled our odyssey, and to the Grow Diaries community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have proven that with dedication, passion, and a touch of magic, anything is possible in the world of cultivation. Join me in the final chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the long-awaited harvest and celebrate the culmination of this extraordinary journey. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever blessed by the spirit of exploration and discovery. As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life With true love comes happiness .Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found - link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚💚💚
