Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hi everyone :-) This week it has developed really well again :-). I didn't train her this week, I'll do it again next week :-). It was poured twice this week with 1.2 l each time (see nutrient table above for adding nutrients). I sprayed them all with GreenBuzzLiquida Fast Plant spray. I also cleaned the entire tent and checked everyone's health. Fresh osmosis water was prepared and filled into canisters. Yellow boards against flies have been put up and blue tags to prevent trips. Unfortunately I still struggle with them but they have become significantly less pushed. I think in a few weeks the last story should be :-). Otherwise, like every day, they were looked at and petted for a while ;-). I wish you lots of fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

Well this week has gone a bit pear shaped. I think it is a combination of light stress and the new soil I'm using. Also the soil had fungus gnats. I won't use it again but it was an experiment and I've learnt that soil isn't my substrate of choice! Back to my super coco mix! 😁 I'm going to see if I can pull it through. I've got plants through worse! Wish me luck. I watered twice this week with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6-6.5, containing 1ml of Ecothrive Trace and 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys. I will say that the soil is very difficult for me to judge the moisture level to water accordingly. Have I mentioned it don't like soil? 😒💚😂🍃✌️ Thanks for checking out my diary this week, I'm sorry its not a better update, but wish me luck! I'm going to need it here! 😂💚✌️

8/2 Fed two gallons this morning and took some hurried pictures. Did SLIGHT defoliation of dead leaves. Didn't have much time to inspect things. I'll check things out later this afternoon. Need to go in at night and see what critters are about. Woke very late so it was a very hurried morning. Rained last night like I expected. It's 68 at 9:30 and looks like rain. 8/3 Nice and sunny and 80 at noon. Didn't water as it rained last night nor did I get a chance to defoliate. After seeing a comment about mites I decided to break out the ol 100x scope. I took random samplings of leaves on different plants. I found ZERO mites. Just because I didn't find any doesn't mean they aren't there but it brings my anxiety down a little. While looking I did notice something is munching leaves. I wanted to use something to continue treatment for WPM and any random bugs but I may need to use captain jack's. I have lady bugs and don't want to kill them but I might just have too. I don't know if earwigs are a big problem or the holes are from pillars or hoppers or whatever else. Observing the weather and the 40 degree mornings and the wind tunnel I seem to be in, I don't see mites setting up shop or sticking around too long in these conditions. Either way if I missed something the IPM will get it. I bought general hydroponics cool bloom that I'm considering switching from tiger bloom. My tiger bloom is from last year and it seems to be crystalized a little in the bottom. We shall see. This is the last year of liquid nutes I hope. 8/4 Watered this morning and defoliated dead leaves. Looking on the inside of the plants I've noticed what looks like small leaves by bud sites dying or being chomped on. Not a single fucking aphid anywhere. I think those earwigs got a taste for those sweet lower bud sites and may be causing damage. It kinda helped as all they did was lollipop a couple lower branches in spots. Still I believe it will become a problem if left unchecked. Plan is to treat plants tonight with captain Jack's. I have a little more research to do but I believe that's the route I'll take. I noticed some pillar holes and other assorted pests so I think now's a good time to hit them with the Spinosid. Plants are looking good though. I can see cola's forming and hairs coming together to make small buds. What a great time. I have so much to do but I'm so busy with the other things going on it's hard to keep up. I'll update as I progress. Plans are fluid. 8/5 Topsoil was dry despite the rain we had so I watered and defoliated what needed and pruned some inner branches I missed yesterday. I don't like leaving exposed matter when it's wet. It's not supposed to rain until around 1pm. I'm getting frustrated. I can't find the earwigs anymore and "life" had kept me from being the best gardener I could be. Last year I woulda been out with a spray bottle every night looking for them. I need to visit the garden at night. I think I need to lower my pH too. Hopefully the apple cider vinegar spray I plan to use will help some. The water going in is good so I don't get how the pH is higher at the root zone. I've seen random damage from different pests. Tonight I'm putting petroleum jelly on the stalks and anywhere the bugs can climb up. I also plan on spraying spinosid tonight. I will update as I progress. The traps I made haven't caught a single bug. A little frustrated this morning but the garden looks gorgeous. 8/6 Rained last night. This wet weather sucks. Found a couple spots where bud shoots had been eaten as well as other tell tale signs. It's got to be those earwigs. I've researched my ass off and have none of the normal pests I usually would this time of year. Especially aphids. I have lady bugs but no way they controlled pests this well. More likely the wigs ran out of food and got a taste for nice cannabis shoots and leaves. I can't seem to make it happen at night so this morning I liberally sprayed all plants with a gallon of captain Jack's dead bug at 2tbsp a gallon as recommended. Spinosid works good and I've used it in the past with BT. Should take care of whatever. I sprayed around the cage too but I couldn't find anything. I read Spinosid is good at controlling those fucking earwigs too. Did you know earwigs are 20 million years old and the only species in their genus. I certainly didn't. I see leaf septoria all over the foliage around. By around I mean just driving or walking in the woods. It seems bad this year. At least it hasn't gotten to my garden yet. Garden is away from most other vegetation. I have ONE plant In that 30 gallon tote at the back outside my cage that I can tell has leaf septoria 💯. I don't know if I should cull it or try to fight it. I'll pick up a copper based fungicide and try first. I'm at that point where this plant was just extra and neglected so maybe it would be better of somewhere else. I may just isolate it. Hurried morning. No time for defoliation not pictures. I will update as I go. I will start apple cider vinegar spray probably tomorrow after I feed. I'm researching how to check my pH with an indicator liquid. Maybe I can get a better idea of the pH at my root zone. Those soil meters suck. Update I went for a hike just to check out the foliage in the area. I'm lucky. Japanese beetles have stripped a lot of vegetation around here but have luckily left my cannabis alone. I've killed like four total. I also noticed tons of fungal infections in trees (different area from my grow but within a mile). Hopefully I can come to decision about treating or culling that plant. 8/7 Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Like I said my tiger bloom has what seems like small crystals that rattle when I shake the bottle. I know it's probably better to use one line of products but I switched to GH liquid cool bloom 0-10-10. It came highly recommended so we shall see. Plants seem to be doing well with the transition to flower. They look healthy despite the little ones outside the cage and the one with the fungal infection. Even that has nice tops it's just the bottom that looks fucked up. I think I'll bring it away from the others and attempt to treat it. Luckily it was just an experiment and a bag seed. After taking a hike I realized I'm quite lucky. Local foliage has been skeletonized by japanese beetles. This relentless rain has brought about fungal infections in trees, shrubs and even fruiting plants like blackberries. Things could definitely be much worse. I'm picking up a fungicide today to treat that plant. PM seems to be in check for now but I'll need to stay on top of it. Also need to try to get litmus paper or something to test soil pH. Meter is junk. I have indicator liquid though. I'll update as I progress. 8/8 Its been raining almost every night. Another challenge for the outdoor grower. I defoliated more leaves this morning. I noticed previous damage on bud sites that appears to be from earwigs. Also dead sugar leaves on new bud shoots down low and inside. Glad I got the Spinosid treatment in. At least whatever ate it will be dead. Need to still figure out what to do with that plant and whether it has leaf septoria or just a more advanced powdery mildew. I'm in town now and I'm planning to pick up a copper based fungicide just in case. I may isolate the one plant and treat everything and go from there. It's a large plant but seems to have lost most of its leaves. Not sure if switching the nutes was a good idea as I read that tiger bloom doesn't really expire and it's made to go with the rest of the nutes I'm using. Next week I need to stay on top of treatments and continuing to monitor for PM or other damage. Other than that plants look healthy and are transitioning to flower pretty well. Sunny and Tempe reached 90. RH is stupid high

Day 30 of flower; She's growing very tall and she has forced me to move my light as high as I can. She has also forced me to raise the other 3 plants in the tent. She's starting to build some very long colas.

Not much changed this week in regard to growth. Except the fattening of buds is all I’m waiting on. A few more pistils are darkening n there are plenty of trichomes on the buds n leaves! Even big leaves r covered. Trichomes r mainly milky n clear with a tiny amount of amber. Hoping these buds get a nice bit bigger before I must give her the chop!

Woche 4 Topping und Blattschnitt. Der Blattschaden wird wohl durch die zu abrupte Umstellung kommen. Etwas viel Licht und Wind im neuen Zelt der kleinen . 45. DLI (noch aus der letzten Blüte) wurde erstmal auf 35 DLI reduziert.

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita de floración para estas hermosas.... Han crecido bastante, las veo muy bien, riengo generalmente cada 2 días, el pH perfecto, absorben muy bien los nutrientes, el sustrato muy bien desde q lo eh cambiado este cultivo... Esty muy contento y el resultado va tomando forma, trabajando duro se obtienen buenos resultados a la larga, hay algunos fallos para mejorar pero de momento las niñas están bien y van creciendo y engordando favorablemente... Me gustaría tener más espacio y más material tecnológico para el cultivo, pero de momento es lo q hay y nos apañamos bien... Buenos humos para todos 🏻💨💨 😎💀 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

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 💚💚💚

Nice progress this week, flowers forming nicely. I gave them mills pk and they are looking happy. I took a lot of shade leaves off to let the light through to the lower buds . All good so far ⚡️ I also started giving ultimate pk, they are responding well, I think really good to start seeing aeeing action off the the girls, I've never grown this strain before and she takes ages to get going. I've got a feeling it's going to be worth the wait.

the roots obstruct the drainage of the system and the water does not descend into the tank easily and the rockwools and roots are flooded, this causes the increase of ph in the reservoir and in the rockwools. this week I hope to solve the problem, for the moment I use a timer for the water pump (15 on 30 off). update: I solved the problem of the roots on the drain by folding the mat on itself with the whole pack of roots descended into the tub, a little rough but functional. but unfortunately I lost almost a week to flush the girls due to the flooding of the root zone I have to start halving the doses of nutrients again ... ... it was a bad week but maybe I learned something 🍀 water pump restored 24/24h Light lifted up from 50 to 90cm Ppfd 1300 > 1000

The seedling looks very healthy, not a single deformity or yellow tips, so I guess the concentration of fertilizer should be kept at this level. Fertilizer: Green House Feeding Hybrids. Dose: 1/4 of recommended, i.e. (2.5g / 4) = 1ml of base + 9ml of distilled water. Height: 9.5cm. Problem: the stem is stretched because of 2 mistakes: 1) fist week the distance to the lamp was 40 cm instead of 30cm (fixed); 2) the helmet head got stuck for many days in darkness and the seed tried to get closer to the light (fixed). Hopefully the 80mm fan will strengthen the stem.
