I think they are closer to done than I previously thought. All clear on trichomes though. Two more weeks?

Still feeding full strength. When the calyxes swell I will stop feeding for a few day to a week to allow for senescence to take place.

Came home from work early this Sunday, couldn't live without my ladies any longer haha. The plants are doing amazing, and you can already see the first buds showing up! They are getting absolutely huge—I'm actually having trouble fitting the whole plant into one shot and have to use the wide-angle lens :-D I already had to bend some of the branches down because they were touching the ceiling. I really hope I won't run into any mold issues later in flower :-/ To keep the air moving, I've got two fans running almost 24/7. Also, they recovered great from the nutrient lockout. I removed a few affected leaves, but all the new growth is looking beautiful and green again! 😎🌱

Sulla più piccola sono arrivate le mosche bianche per sfortuna, spero che non invadono le altre, non da nemmeno segni di sviluppo la Cherry, peccato.. Le altre in grande forma, soprattutto il mostro di skittles! Ho annaffiature solo 2 volte con noci questa settimana il resto solo acqua, non voglio stressante troppo, ormai è ora della fioritura per loro ❤️ Spero che non continuino a nutrirsi delle mie piccole..per ora gestibile, stiamo a vedere. Le infiorescenze iniziano a ingrandirsi, il profumo anche, meravigliose.

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.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia — Week 8 | The Slowest Girl in the Room Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, then by now you've probably realized something about this girl. She doesn't like rushing. While the other ladies in the room have already moved much further into flowering, Passion Fruitz continues to play the same card she's been playing for weeks: "I'm a very slow-growing plant." 😄 And honestly... I have to admit it. She's a slow plant. But she's a beautiful slow plant. 🌱 Still Playing the Slow Card All of these plants are the same age. They were all started under the same 12/12-from-seed concept. They're sharing the same room, the same environmental conditions, the same lighting strategy, and the same general feeding approach. Yet Passion Fruitz has decided that she's going to write her own timetable. Compared with the rest of the room, she is clearly delayed. Her transition into flowering has been considerably slower, and even now, the development of her flowers is progressing at a very measured pace. But what's fascinating is that she doesn't look like a plant that's struggling. Quite the opposite. She's green. She's vigorous. She's structurally strong. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply taking her sweet time deciding exactly when she's ready to commit to flowering. And that makes her one of the most interesting phenotypes in this entire project. 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Weak Standing at approximately 72 cm, Passion Fruitz isn't the tallest plant in the room. But she's built herself into a remarkably dense and compact bush. Her stems have become thick and strong, her side branches are well developed, and the amount of healthy foliage she's carrying is impressive. Looking at her structure now, I keep thinking about what this plant might have looked like if she had been given several weeks of conventional vegetative growth before being placed under 12/12. She clearly has the ability to build. She simply chose to spend a very long time building herself before deciding to flower. And now we're finally beginning to see the consequences of that decision. ✂️ Time to Clean House This week I decided to give her a little bit of a challenge. Since Passion Fruitz isn't particularly large and flowering development is still moving slowly, I decided it was time to remove some of that excess vegetation underneath. I gave her a proper defoliation and lollipop, cleaning away lower foliage and branches that I don't want competing with the upper part of the plant. The objective wasn't to strip her down just for the sake of stripping her down. It was about directing the plant's resources toward the areas that matter most from here forward. With a relatively compact plant like this, I want her energy and structure concentrated toward the upper canopy rather than maintaining a large amount of lower growth that may have limited value later. And after the cleanup... Wow. She looks clean. 🌱 A New Shape Emerging The transformation is particularly obvious when looking underneath the canopy. The lower stem and branch structure is now much easier to see. The main stem is thick and healthy, with strong lateral branches coming away from it. Removing the lower vegetation has also opened the plant considerably, allowing much better visibility through the structure. From above, she's still incredibly leafy and full of life. But underneath, we've created a much cleaner framework. Now we wait. I'm very curious to see what she decides to do with that newly opened structure. Will she finally begin accelerating her flowering? Will the upper branches develop into stronger flower sites? Or will she simply look at me and say: "Nope. I'm still taking my time." 😂 Knowing Passion Fruitz... I wouldn't bet against option three. 💚 The Colour Says Everything One of the things I absolutely love about this phenotype is her colour. She remains incredibly lush and green. The new growth is vibrant, the mature leaves are healthy, and there is a beautiful contrast between the darker established foliage and the bright green emerging growth. The macro photographs really show this beautifully. The fresh growth almost looks luminous against the darker leaves surrounding it. For a plant that has spent so much time outside the flowering timeline of the rest of the room, she certainly hasn't been sitting around doing nothing. She's been building. And she's built herself a very impressive little machine. 💡 12/12 From Seed — The Experiment Continues This is exactly why I enjoy running the entire project under 12/12 from seed. If every phenotype behaved identically, there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. Instead, we're seeing just how differently plants can interpret exactly the same environment. Some transition quickly. Some stretch aggressively. Some remain compact. And then there's Passion Fruitz... She looked at the 12/12 schedule and apparently decided: "I'll get there when I get there." 😂🍑 That genetic variation is one of the most valuable parts of this entire adventure. The goal isn't to force every plant into the same shape or timeline. It's to observe what each phenotype naturally wants to become. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson impossible to miss. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week I'm continuing with the Plagron flowering nutrition strategy. The current mix is: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L, used for pH adjustment when required The measured solution was around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a pH of approximately 6.0. I'm keeping the strategy consistent rather than trying to force flowering by dramatically changing the nutrition. She's already shown us that her timeline is genetic. There's no point trying to bully her into flowering. We'll give her what she needs... And let Passion Fruitz decide when she's ready. 💡 Light & Environment The environment remains stable and consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. Current conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The consistency of the environment remains particularly important in this phenotype hunt. Because when everyone receives essentially the same conditions but one plant behaves completely differently... that's when genetics starts telling the story. 🌿 Under-Canopy Lighting The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting also remains part of this experiment. Passion Fruitz is particularly interesting here because she has maintained such a large amount of lower vegetation for so long. Now that we've cleaned the lower section, we'll have an even better opportunity to observe how the remaining branches respond to that additional light. I'm especially curious about the relationship between her upper canopy and the newly exposed lower structure. This is another one of those variables that may become much more interesting as flowering finally progresses. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of Passion Fruitz so far. The full-plant images show just how dense this girl has become despite her relatively modest height. The overhead photographs reveal an incredibly broad canopy. The macro images show the beautiful contrast between mature leaves and the fresh, vibrant new growth. And then there are the stem photographs. Those are particularly satisfying. Once the lower foliage was removed, you can really appreciate the structure she has been quietly building underneath all that green. Thick main stem. Strong branches. Healthy nodes. A very solid framework. She's small... But she's definitely not fragile. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now comes the interesting part. We've cleaned her up. We've removed the lower growth that was no longer contributing to the structure we want. We've opened the plant. And we've left the upper canopy with the majority of the healthy growth. Now we wait to see what she does. I'm hoping that as flowering continues to develop, we'll start seeing more obvious flower formation throughout the upper canopy and a little more momentum from this famously slow phenotype. But I'm also realistic. I've learned by now that Passion Fruitz doesn't care what I expect. She has her own schedule. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm going to watch her. Document her. And let her show us what she can do. Because sometimes the phenotype that takes the longest to reveal herself ends up being the one you remember the most. 💚 Thank You Another week, another lesson from the 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz continues to remind me that growing isn't about making every plant behave the same way. It's about understanding that every phenotype has its own personality. Some sprint. Some stretch. Some explode into flower. And some... take their sweet time. 🍑😄 A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing such an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn, share, and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics that made this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment throughout the grow. ✨ Lumiflora — for providing the under-canopy lighting and giving us another variable to explore throughout this experiment. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment, question, message, and bit of support makes this adventure even more enjoyable. Passion Fruitz may still be behind the rest of the room... But she's healthy. She's beautiful. She's building. And she's finally starting to show us where this story might be going. Slowly. Very, very slowly. 😂🍑 But that's okay. Because in the 8×8 Adventure, we're not here to rush the genetics. We're here to let them speak. See you next week for another chapter of Passion Fruitz. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

Normally I am not a plant abuser (at least not in the literal term of the word) but the last few cycles I have been very superficial in the care of my plants. The result is lovely but not very large plants. I'll make up for it with the next few cycles <3

Day 29 (2020-06-07): Changed out reservoir (5.6 PH). Picked up some 3% H2O2 so added 3ml/gallon to help combat some of the growth I am getting. Also wiped down the outside of the fabric pots to kill the mold. Did some new LST and defoliation to even things out. CBD Crack is in pre-flower. The G14 might be a bit behind. Day 30 (2020-06-08): Reservoir PH around 5.65. Removed a leaf or two and did some tucking. Day 31 (2020-06-09): PH at 5.8. The G14 Blumat drip tube had gotten stuck in the dirt and was not dripping. Hand watered back to normal. Some slight LST adjustments to even things out and removed a few leaves. Day 32 (2020-06-10): PH at 5.96. Yellow leaf tips on newer growth haven't really gotten any better. I am also noticing some other yellow and brown spotting on older leaves. I am not as worried about the spotting since it is likely related to previous PH fluctuation that has been taken care of but I am now wondering if the yellow tips are something new. Maybe the start of nutrient burn? I do not believe it is light related since I adjusted this a few days ago. Day 33 (2020-06-11): After some helpful advice from the community I checked the calibration of my PH pen and found it off by about .5! This must have happened sometime in the last week or two but would explain the issues since as a result my PH was adjusted way to low (around 4.9 to 5). FIxed pen, flushed plants and changed out the reservoir. Hopefully things will get back on track. Also took the opportunity while I had the plants out to even out the LST and do some more defoliation. Day 34 (2020-06-12): Things are looking OK. I am not sure if the yellow on the tips will go away but it is not getting worse. Reservoir PH is at 5.75. Day 35 (2020-06-13): Res PH at 6.1 but slight smell. Probably will have to change out tomorrow. Things are looking good for the plants. G14 is definitely behind on flowering compared to the CBD.

Those were the last ones. So I'm done with my second grow. I should have left out the two Hulk Berries here completely. I had this space problem anyway and, as I said, they were seeds from a hermaphrodite/crossed grow. They have the most seeds. I think I'll make oil out of this. Let's see. My conclusion: a great pleasure to be here. Many thanks to everyone for help, encouragement and criticism. I'll bother you some more. Nice weekend @all

22 Enero(F55): Solo queda una semana para terminar el cultivo, en estos últimos días se está usando Fade de Athena Nutrients, para ayudar con la maduración y mejorar sabores y olores. La luz de los LED se bajó a un 50% y la temperatura del agua de riego también se disminuyó. Los olores están demasiado potentes, tuve que poner filtro de carbono. Los últimos 4 días se regará solo con agua de osmosis + Cleanse.

Hello everyone, The 2 plants are in flushing mode only reversed osmosewater for the rest of the grow. You can see the plant on the right hase started to yellow exactly how i like to harvest my plants. The runoff ppm is 76 so happy with that now it's waiting on the wright moment to harvest them. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

Week 9 - Day 58 - 02/23 to 2/28 2021 All phone pictures. Go off site to my instagram for HD/DSLR content: https://www.instagram.com/glazedgrow/ Dark Devil Auto from @Sweet_Seeds coming along nicely. Great colour coming into the buds and decent thiccc factor coming it. Very similar in smell profile/build structure to the Purple Lemonade Auto from @Fast_Buds. Not as fat overall in terms of buds yet but the base is there for a very strong finish in the final weeks. Gave all the plants mostly water feeds this week in order to avoid salt build up. Some staining on the bottom of the fabric pots from the bottom feeds so just making sure the soil is fine for the final major nute feeds before flushing in a week or so. Has a lot of bud sites on the main cola adding to the chonk but will need to give the sugar leaves a pre trim before the final bulk to avoid bud rot/mold. Seems very dense in there. Other than that, the new @MarsHydroLED TSL 2000 and @ViparSpectraLED PS1500 for veg definitely made a huge difference and the buds on the Dark Devil. Big thanks to @ViparspectraJennie for putting a new XS1000 in the mail to test on my next grow. The FB testers finally came in so excited to get some of those in the tent and under the new tester. *Sponsored Content* Feel free to check out/save some money on your next @ViparSpectraLED using discount code "GLAZEDGROW" at this link: https://www.viparspectra.com/?aff=378&utm_source=affiliate (Again check out my insta, very limited quality content will be posted here) Thanks for checking out the latest #GlazedGrow🍩 -- Go off site and check out my Instagram for better content: https://www.instagram.com/glazedgrow/ Go off site and check out my CannaBuzz profile: https://www.cannabuzz.app/users/GlazedGrow
