Day 36-13/05/22 damn they looking good i think I’m going to raise the light today I will have to check!!! Day 38-15/05/22 gave them a nice bit of water today they needed it!!!! . Day 40-17/05/22 all looking good so yellowing of lower leaves but think it’s because I watered them a bit to late the other day!!!

Week 11 Update (Week 6 Flower) The trichome production on this Bruce Banner #3 is incredible. ❄️ Big thanks to @Hanfgarten – this selected cut of the Dark Horse classic is outstanding. It's extremely resinous, healthy, and stacking up perfectly. Check out the macros to see the frost! #DarkHorseGenetics #BruceBanner3 #Hanfgarten #Plagron #ViparSpectra

The bushes are shooting up fast — the fan leaves, palm-sized by now, are already poking into the light. LED is not HPS lamp, good for me :) I'm training the branches daily with soft wire ties from the garden shop — cheap as chips. Watering with RO water, pH dialled in. A 15-litre reservoir makes it easy to manage PPM and pH, and the air stone keeps the solution well-oxygenated — roots love it. 3 weeks in without Simplex Coco base. A couple of days ago the stems started showing a slight red tint. Figured I probably didn't mix enough nutrients into the top layer: I went with 3 grams per litre of substrate — 9 litres of Simplex coco brick and 3 scoops of nutes, carefully blended. Was worried about overdoing it. Still, even at the minimum dose I got minor burn on the lower leaves. The substrate had been pre-soaked with Simplex Coco base — should've flushed it for a couple of days first with a CalMag solution and pH 5.6–6.3. Three weeks later I top-dressed with another half scoop (5 g) per pot. For a long-flowering sativa that's pretty standard practice — topdressing every 2–3 weeks works well. Overall, Bio Feeding is a really straightforward option — accessible and easy to follow even for a beginner like me. Can't wait to taste the end result: never grown bio before, only mineral nutrients.

All appears well with these Ladies 😸 They are all continuing to flush. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

After some research I decided to go for Advanced Nutrients for all amendments. Starting slow and building towards flower, then adding some Bud Candy. These plants really took off lol, shit got out of hand and I let them run a little, I'm definitely a habitual defoliator, I cant stop clipping when I really should just let them be, anyway I moved the tent out of the Closet space as its a friendlier time of year so they don't need the extra protection, kinda why I let them go, Season 1 needed to be smaller in height as they would have suffered outside the tent. Still topped and administered some LST, tried some clips out, but they were far too small and ended up snapping a stem. Would like to give them a go again but will research a bit more next time and not just go for Amazon crap. So far in terms of holding things down I really like the early pegs in the soil approach. I also tried some trellis netting this time, definitely like it and will be more prepared next time. Had to bail for an Easter break so a buddy came through and watered in nuets for me. SKOG was noticeably more Sativa-esque, thinner, stretchier. Runtz with the fatter leaves.

Hey everyone! It’s been another fabulous week of the girls fattening up getting ready for the ever looming harvest time! The colas are huge and glistening like a glitter ball! The back right girl has been on flush since day 51, 2 more went on flush on day 53, and the final girl front right went on flush today, day 56! Over the week I gave 3 girls a really heavy defoliation taking the majority of fan leaves off to allow good airflow and try fattening up those lower buds. It’s still impossible to tell if I prefer defoliation or not but we are getting close to harvest so should have a definitive answer to that soon! The back right girl has had absolutely no defoliation or trimming through her life cycle. I still regularly think back to when we broke one of the girls and transplanted, the cannabis gods were on our side warning us 4 girls will be huge, we were very lucky or would be seriously short of space as of now. As the girls are going to be harvested at slightly different times to ensure each are at their optimum, I have had to construct a dry box. How I built my smell free DIY dry box: Take a large cardboard box, cut an extraction hole in the top at one end and mount some ducting and seal the gap around the edge. Cut a flap in the opposite end at the bottom which will be the passive intake and promoting a draft through the hanging buds. Poke some holes in each end of the box using a screwdriver and thread some thin rope or string through the box tying the ends together once finished to give you sturdy locations to hang some pegs from. Finally I attached an extra bit of card on one of the flaps at the top; this overlaps the slight gap in the top between the flaps that could allow light to enter. Once completed I put the ducting into one of the lower intakes of the tent; the negative pressure in the tent then uses the air in the dry box as a passive intake creating a smell free area to dry your cannabis outside of your grow tent. This also keeps a slight breeze flowing through the box to ensure even drying. Happy toking guys and hope you enjoy the pics and vids, thought it was getting hard to tell how big these girls were in pics anymore so the vids help a lot, and I was lazy this week! :P

Woche 5 – Die Form nimmt Gestalt an 🍑🌿 Nach einer aufregenden Woche und meinem Besuch auf der Mary Jane in Berlin geht es nun wieder zurück in den Garten. Die Apricot Automatic entwickelt sich weiterhin hervorragend und zeigt genau die Eigenschaften, die ich mir von einer starken Outdoor-Autoflower wünsche. Das Low Stress Training zahlt sich mittlerweile deutlich aus. Die Seitentriebe wachsen kräftig nach oben und verwandeln die ursprünglich schlanke Pflanze langsam in eine breite, gleichmäßige Struktur. Das Kronendach wird von Tag zu Tag voller und die zukünftigen Budsites verteilen sich optimal über die gesamte Pflanze. Besonders erfreulich ist die schnelle Erholung nach dem Training. Es gibt keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress und die Damen wachsen munter weiter. Die Blattfarbe ist gesund, das neue Wachstum wirkt kräftig und die Internodienabstände bleiben angenehm kompakt. Mit jedem Tag wird deutlicher, welches Potenzial in diesen Apricot Autos steckt. Jetzt beginnt die spannende Phase, in der sich entscheidet, wie groß die Pflanzen vor dem Einsetzen der Vorblüte noch werden. Wenn sie dieses Tempo beibehalten, dürfen wir uns auf einige sehr interessante Outdoor-Ladys freuen. Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen und bis zum nächsten Update! 💚🍑 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 5 – The Structure is Coming Together 🍑🌿 After an exciting week and my visit to the Mary Jane Expo in Berlin, it's time to get back to the garden. The Apricot Automatic continues to impress and is showing exactly the characteristics I hope for in a strong outdoor autoflower. The Low Stress Training is now paying off. Side branches are growing vigorously and transforming the plants from a simple main stem into a wide and balanced structure. The canopy is becoming fuller every day, allowing future bud sites to receive excellent light exposure. What makes me especially happy is how quickly the plants recovered from the training. There are absolutely no signs of stress, and the ladies keep pushing forward with healthy growth. Leaf color remains vibrant, new growth is strong, and internodal spacing stays nicely compact. With every passing day, the potential of these Apricot Autos becomes more obvious. Now we are entering the exciting stage where the plants will determine how much more growth they can achieve before fully transitioning into flowering. If they continue at this pace, they are going to become some very impressive outdoor ladies. Thank you for following along and happy growing! 💚🍑🌱

Flower Week 5 and they are getting bigger

Al final de la jornada realizamos poda apical

Week 6 of flowering 10/23/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 6 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Defoliated a little. Noticed a PH of 4.8 in runoff, same as the late stage of flower in my previous grow. After lowering feed EC, CalMag on max strength, flushing with 0.8ec nutes for 3 days in a row, nothing changed and PH stayed the same. Read in a forum thread about constant low PH in the rootzone when growing in coco. Got great info about CEC, water, nutrients and little chemistry from a detailed explanation. (https://www.icmag.com/threads/recurring-problem-with-low-ph-in-coco.338385/page-2#post-10843765) Flushed plants with tap water + calmag, PH 6.5. Used 120L total for 4 plants in 2 days. 1st day: flushed after lights on, did not water until 2 hours before lights off and flushed again. Runoff PH went up a little, but not to the correct range. 2nd day: flushed after lights on and checked runoff EC + PH, of each plant. Fortunately, PH got corrected to 5.8, and I returned to automatic watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff). Thoughts: In the last grow, I thought I had a problem because of salts buildup in the media with constantly low PH in late flower. I didn't fully correct the problem till chop day. Same problem here in the same stage of flower without the salt buildup. After reading every forum I could find about the problem, I understood that my bloom nutes were the main problem because of their chemical composition. The coco ability to exchange ions lead to the low PH in the rootzone. It got worse quickly because I did not use any tap water with the feedings, so the PH could swing easily and drastically without resistance. After I looked online for the T.A. feeding chart, I saw they used TriPart Grow till week 7 of flower, the Nitrogen type they are using will up the PH. CocoForCannabis chart that I'm using, has not enough nitrogen to combat the bloom nutes PH down effect in flower. It gets even worse with RO water because there are no minerals that can resist PH down. Now I'm using 30% tap water with rest RO water, T.A. TriPart feeding chart with calmag and silica. Hopefully I have corrected the problem for the rest of the grow. It wasn't easy, because there were lots of variables that worsened the problem quickly. Now I'm checking runoff PH and EC daily. Update on next week :)

Denke ich stehe kurz vor der Ernte. Mir wird das lit den Spinnmilben zu heikel, will nicht mehr wegschneiden. Es ist nämlich jetzt schon wirklich ein toller süßer Duft im Zelt und ich freue mich sehr auf die Buds!

The plants are looking amazing. Iam happy that all effort i put into these plants got rewarded. The plants are from 2 mother plants some of them got very purpleish / black leafs some very dense buds all have purple touch in the buds. The sugar amount is insane they all look very beautiful altough the buds are not the biggest. Its around 1-2 weeks left till harvest . Today ive watered with clear rainwater to flush.

Die Blüten werden schön schwer und bunt. Das Wetter stellt sie auf die Probe und fordert Opfer.

Ho tolto lo schermo e le ho messe tutte e tre insieme sotto la lampada da 120w. Insieme ai fert ho dato anche un po' di miele, e aceto per il ph

Day 31 - omg more calcium deficiency sings, unbelievable!!! The liquid calcium I’ve bought suggests 5ml/L per week, this is the second time this week I’m supplementing it. I did major bending this morning, almost everything jumped on square, it took me almost two hours. I broke two small shootings in the process, RIP Day 33 Reservoir refill, in 20L: Megacrop A 9g Megacrop B 11g Epsom 4g Gypsum 6g Sulfuric acid 6,5ml

I believe this is around week 10 I haven’t been keep up with the time frame..

Day 56 Flowering: Hi growmies. I hope we are all well and still sane during this madness. Here we are at the harvest window for the Glueberry now and she is certainly up for it now. Her buds are stinky and sticky with the right amount of ripened pistils to cover around 60-70% of her structure. The next few days I will be using the microscope to keep watch on the trichromes for their sweet spot over the next few days. Shebhas been an easy grow but I wish I had stripped her lower scrub out early on in flower now. She didnt look recovered enough to strip out at the time but her leaf and scrub are filling the pots interiors so I need to keep on the air flow checking to avoid any budrot issues. Mimosa Lemon is everywhere!! She has been such a productive plant from the beginning. Her bud structures are very , very loose and I am dreading the dry and trim that will be awkward as to what to take off. while there are a lot of flowers , they are so loosely structured that it is very deceptive on appearances. Her Limonene is honking from her now and I can see her Lemon tag being so appropriate. The potency is becoming obvious by smell alone and her tacky feel at the slightest touch is a great sign too. I did quite a brutal defol and strip out very early in flower but she still threw so many mains out . This is one of the most productive flowering plants I have grown to date . I don't expect the yield to show this in totals but for bud growth and vigour , she has no rival so far. Another week for her at least but seeing the new pistils kicking out , it could be possibly 2 more. Let's see what the next few days bring for them. be safe and sane folks.

Starting to see flowers now,did some pruning,took off big fan leaves and some other little ones to get more light in,has been 2 days rain https://youtu.be/3oju_Zeh7_E
