OK, so I’ll begin dialing back in my grow focusing after I gave her a top dress feeding I watered her in well with 2 gallons of water unpHd maybe two or three days later I noticed that her topsoil was starting to dry so I gave her another gallon of water just because although I believe in allowing the plant to have the dry back. Between watering I also keep hearing you know that with organic soil, you have to keep it moist in order for you know the nutrient to break down and I definitely want those top nutrients I gave her to become readily available . Also, in terms of dialing it back in the plant has been at a very abbreviated or dimmed level like since recovering from when I basically almost killed it and with that being said with the light being out at a dim level of about 40 to 50%, it was also brought up to a very High height in order to decrease stress so that they can regrow so I lower the light from 26 inches 28“ to 14 inches above the canopy. I put back in my floor fan for the lower canopy although I found out that it no longer circulate so I’m having to replace it. Its replacement is on the way in the mail. I added it back in the humidifier for the plants mainly because I was doing the cuttings in the clones since I needed to trim the lower canopy and begin training the plant down more for the trellis. This is my first run using a trellis. This is my first time trying to make one plant so massive, but I’m just a small time grower trying to get the most bang for my book since I’m trying to grow plants to supply myself anyways rather than maintaining so many different plants, I just thought I’d give it a go at making one plant massive I’ve gotten fairly decent and establishing good structure implants as far as like the number of branches or branches so I really wanna like push the threshold of my quantity that I can that I can deliver, but this are all the while. I’m still really working hard to get the quality that I know I like to smoke. I’m happy you know I’m learning but wow I’m still very far from the goal so the light is still at 50% but it lowered to 14 inches. There’s an additional lower canopy fan that’s not currently circulating but one on the way that will circulate the air down there and the humidifier in the tent now oh I also reprogram my humid controller because ever since I’ve called the other three plants that were occupying this tent when I began this this project I tried to switch it over for new settings for this plan considering you know it was set for the flower setting for my last three ladies but when I did that I messed it up and I was just too lazy to go in there and fix it so we have been running with BPD issues this entire time you know and that’s that’s part of the stunning growth as well you know the darn near 30 inch light height, being hungry and meet me during the watering but just in discriminated amounts because I’m not TDS and or PPM any of this stuff I’m really just eyeballing it not paging this stuff circulation and low light intensity. I mean, I can see why it’s taking her a little while to start moving like got like I remember her moving but since I’m back posting I’m I’m I’m working a dollar and I was even considering buying a new light at first but then I realized one I do have a really good light too. I really haven’t got that many runs off of this light less than 10 three is because I doubt her back so much in order to like decrease the stress and I can. I can push this plant with this light. I just need to dial my equipment back in and for you know, I had him back in the extra circulation and the humidifier to get the environment dialed in. I mean, you thought you get that BPD setting right and she used to transpired but now she’s hungry and if I keep that so more so that those nuts can break down she’s gonna get to looking for those nutrients so if not now like I think it’s supposed to take a week no more than a week gonna have to before those nutrients become you know bi available tour so I’m doing I’m doing my part now to give her the attention that she needs into dollar back in so that we can we can get the show on the road. This is entirely too long, but that’s just because I haven’t. I’ve been. I’ve been hands off. I mean, I found that I like the hands off approach to growing much more than the hands-on because then I’m too impatient and I’m oh man then it becomes a chore and has to go take care of her. You know as opposed to a pleasure or like a getaway, I enjoy when I take care of my plan. I like it to be at my activity you know not something that I’m just ready to get over with. I like to spend time with my plans I like to not mind going in there and then defoliating every couple of days. Listen, I need a strain that has an excellent of matter fact a low leaf to blood ratio I need far more bud and weight less leaves. I strain that I pick out a pure interest, but at this point, I’m almost ready to pick strains based off of leaf to blood ratio. I would enjoy just a good simple girl like I just have a couple of leaf Plug every couple of weeks. Let’s see when I’m mean to her with food top dressed because she’s in a 6 gallon hot, I gave her 1 tablespoon of the guy green broke and 3 tablespoons of organic worm castings per 6 gallons so that was a total of 6 tablespoons of the guy green grow nutrient maybe even seven for good measure and then 18 tablespoons cause I don’t know how many you know a4 cups 1/3 cup for cups that is but I actually wanna find out so I can stop doing these tablespoon measurements but 18 tablespoons of worm castings and I just I did my best to work. I didn’t really well to the top so and then I watered that in really slowly to try to avoid runoff the best I could. I did end up getting about a quarter inch runoff when I usually get about an inch and a half a runoff so I did good. I just even know that stuff eventually sucks back up in the pot. I didn’t want all that stuff to like rush to the bottom and then only get sucked back up at the bottom cause I don’t know what the root looks like at the bottom. I kinda have to assume that it is nice and strong, and maybe even root bound need to be upside to a bigger pot before I flipper the flower but if it’s not like I don’t want the concentration of nutrients and salts to be at the very bottom, especially when it comes time later for flushing, like I want that stuff to be you know closer to the to the top in the middle of the other of the soul structure, where I know the majority of the roots are and eventually work as way down to the evening rate, but not have a concentration at the bottom and I’m adding stuff in at the top. I really wanna flush this plant. Well, my lash flush it was semi decent. This flush it could be between my flesh, my dry and my cure which is crippling anybody I mean the girl I got far better man you should’ve seen my first couple girls terrible but now I’m gonna achieve quality in good structure. I just need to get I mean I can see quality you know structure of plants and blood structure but I gotta get the quality smoke. The sticks the smells taste the dense buds at the right moisture level if you’re enjoying it so far, give us a like. FINAL UPDATE OF THIS WEEK: 16DAYS SINCE DRY AMENDING SOIL . . PLANT STILL SHOWS NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY. I had hoped to be back on Water Onlu by now bc I’m afraid I’m going t burn her with these nutrient waters this long since my dry ammenduand what’s worse is that if I follow my 3 week amendment rule I’ll be adding 6 more tbl spoons of nutrient alongside worm castings ALL WHILE THE LAST NUTRIENTS I FED STILL HAVENT BECOME AVAILABLE YET. I DONT LIKE THIS

Hi, I will grow 5 Cup Winner Auto Feminized Strains in this diary, mostly Indica dominant strains. LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds By FastBuds: LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds are another addition to FastBuds ever-growing range of automatic genetics. A cross of LSD and FastBud’s own in house Ruderalis, creating another high THC and low CBD automatic purple strain. This indica dominant hybrid has strong scents of earthy pine and wood. A short life cycle of only 8 weeks makes this genetic one of the quickest flowering seeds by FastBuds, without compromising in yield size. This strain can be treated with no extra care so can be great for beginners, but if trained correctly yields can improve massively. Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds by Dutch Passion: Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds are another cup winning genetics, awarded 3rd Prize Autoflower Highlife Cup Netherlands 2017. This strain stems from Dutch Passions Glueberry OG, a cross of (Gorrila Glue x OG) x Auto Blueberry, to ensure the same attributes as her photoperiod sister. This versatile Sativa dominant hybrid can be used for SOG as well as SCROG. Due to the Sativa dominance, you can expect large yields whatever climate with a flowering period of 77 days. Another great automatic strain from Dutch Passions USA Special Range. Northern Light Automatic Seeds By Royal Queen Seeds: Northern Light Automatic Seeds are a great strain for growing both indoors and outdoors in most climates. A mostly Indica strain due to its Afghani genetics. A nice, sweet taste with a comfortable physical effect, a great strain for medicinal uses. Ready for harvest in only 9 to 10 weeks the plant starts growing and producing flowers almost immediately. Northern Light Automatic has a very generous harvest and may be one of the highest-yielding autoflowering strains available today. Growing to a height of around 90-120 cm, it is quite a large plant for an autoflowering variety. Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds are a high yield, indica dominant Automatic hybrid. An original fruity USA flavor with a Dutch Passion yield in automatic form. A cross of the sought after Auto blueberry by Dutch Passion and an exceptional Girl Scout Cookie from Colorado. This strain has some incredible aromas as well as strength to match. With a complete life cycle of 70 to 77 days you can gain as much as possible when it comes to yield. This amazing Automatic Hybrid is yet another great addition to Dutch Passion’s collection in collaboration with USA Genetics. Auto Blackberry Kush Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Blackberry Kush Seeds are another cup winning genetic by Dutch Passion, placing 2nd in Autoflowers, Highlife Cup, Netherlands 2018. A cross between Dutch Passions Original Blueberry and a Kush Hash-Plant has created an indica dominant hybrid with a sweet fruity taste. Dominance from the Blueberry tends to give to a sweeter characteristic, combined with an indica dominance from the Kush. Expect Vigorous growth as well as great dark purple hues from this hybrid later in flower. Average height of 0.75-1m when on 20/4 and all complete within 70 days from sprout. 24 hours light schedule, 90 percent humidity, trigger spray, no fertilization. 15th of August: I prepared the seeds and tonight I will place them to be in water for at least 12 hours. 15th of August: I placed them to the water. Auto BlackBerry Kush straight submerged. Wao....:D 16th of August: I placed them between damp paper towel. Northern Light Auto is the quickest she has already sprouted out.:) 17th of August 2019: All of them are fine the LSD-25 was the slowest and the Northern Light is the fastest seed that germinated. They are ready to be planted tomorrow ;) Day 1: I have planted them. 60 W LED for 5 plants 98 percent humidity, daily water 5ml per plant plus a lot of triggering to keep the humidity very high all the holes are closed, 24 hours light schedule. I just need to wait to them to be out :) Day 2: The winner is Blackberry Kush she is the first out. :) Rest of them still not out but I think by tomorrow most of them will be. Day 3: Super Skunk is not viable. The seed isndead all were out I checked she stopped growing but I didn't not find any broken part or the seed was not even dried or something like that. It has never happened to me the seed just stopped its life:( I will grow this strain next time. I replaced with Glueberry OG. All out by the way :)❤️ Day 5: All of them grow quick, 4-5 cm already, they are so fragile ❤️ Day 6: LSD-25 and BlackBerry Kush is 10 cm long they are the tallest gamers. Rest of them are fine with 6-7cm.

This week the Blueberry is still in mid-flowering, and the buds are swelling steadily with nice calyx formation. The fruity aroma is getting stronger and trichome coverage is spreading well over the flowers. At this stage I’m continuing with Big Bud, since the plant is still focusing on building mass and volume. Big Bud provides the extra phosphorus and potassium needed for flower development before I make the switch to Overdrive later on. For now, the Blueberry is showing healthy progress and I expect the real bulk to come in the next couple of weeks.

Well they definitely made progress in the flowering dept over the weekend! I came back home to find a nice amount of bud sites and pistil growth all around. Bubba ya gotten so big it can’t fit under my lights in the tent with fan & filter, so it’s now been moved to the other tent. Kind of fucks with my auto grow I had planned, but not much I can do

A good week in the bag. The girls seem to be doing well this round. They look healthy. They are getting water twice a week at this point. Everything's on track. There is one girl that has three leaves per node. Can't remember what that's called but it'll be fun to grow out

Skipped a week so that the weeks in the diary were the same age as the new plants also took over my wife's aquaponics ak auto flower that is 4 weeks old so ill add that into the grow. The aquaponics plant was in rough shape it was showing huge signs of cal mag def. So I went to the local fish store and bought a cal mag substitute that's safe for fish also dropped the ph to 6.1 she had it at 7+ (not her fault ph metre broke )now plant looks great 1 week later after pulling off all affected leaves. Nothing new with the girl sco8t cookies except I fed today 1 gsc starting to lighting up

Been a week and half from I started the LST training, really starting to bush out so much. Growing really very!! Had some amazing hot days. Maybe to hot for a bit. Water system working really well. 👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😀😀😀😀😀 New photo today, not sure if she's in pre flower!? Should be seeing her in three days!! Let's see how bushy she got from the super cropping and LST. I'm hoping she will climb through the middle.

Beginning of week 4. All plants were topped. Have nearly doubled in size since last week. One of the auto Dark Purple has already started forming flowers, didn't expect that to happen already.

It's been a pretty good week. Carl 2 stretched out like a motherfucker, nearly a four inch stretch as of today. The accidental topping due to blunt trauma a while ago seems to have stopped the stunted growth and allowed it to really shoot upwards and outwards. The split on UKBS 2 is still necrotic, and the effects seem to be travelling down the stem. I have a fan on it for airflow and I'm hitting it twice daily with a vinegar solution to try and kill off what seems to be white mold in the stem. As of recently the spread has slowed down somewhat, so I'm feeling hopeful. Next feeding it'll get hit with another round of nature's candy and velokelp to try and build some strength back up and come out a real winner in 3 months or so. The tent has been flipped to 12/12, but the outdoor plants wont be flowering for another 3 months-ish minimum, so this diary's gonna get a little interesting in terms of week type. Carl 1 is incredibly stretchy inside the tent, almost 6 maybe 8 inches from when I flipped and Scrogged. Gave Carl 1 a fat haircut a couple days ago, she reacted quite well. Updates will come throughout the week. Happy growing and thanks for checking out the grow. By 5/11/2021 - I've acquired some peroxide to try and assist UKBS 2 with the mold/pathogen issue. The previous night's application seemed to work, and I applied again today. Hopefully she'll pull through. One of the main stems is drooping massively, I may lose it but hopefully not.

2/9: pH balanced water given today. Flowering sites are starting to explode a bit. Top leaves appear to have light burn. I've got my light at max height so I can't move it up any higher..trying to push the light over to the side as best I can 2/11: light defoliation and feeding... Coming along nicely!

This was a brilliant plant, it kinda stunted a little bit, but that was my fault. It was so beautiful during flower, and the smell is not like weed at all, but more like juicy fruit chewing gum. Amazing and smooth to smoke as well.

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by. The start of this journal is a little overdue, but real life gets in the way sometimes and I kept having to delay. I initially had planned to run the Samsquanch OG strain from Mephisto and had even started a journal, but I had some issues starting off and the seeds just didnt take well for whatever reason. I tried to germinate my last 4 of those seeds after the originals failed, but only 1 came up. Still cant figure out what went wrong, but instead of waiting and ordering new seeds I decided to pop these freebies that they game me and the girls had absolutely zero issues and are off to a great start! I transplanted into the net pots on 10/20 (Day 4) after some nice long roots came out. I top fed for a few days until my roots were reaching down through the net pots. Everything is running pretty optimal thus far! Light is set about 40inches away 40% power right now. Daytime Temp is 78f and night is around 72-73f. RH is 62-65% EC 0.5

5/4/2022 Node additions have slowed but overall growth continues strong and healthy. Continuing to make minor adjustments to LST. Generally watering every other day. Added too dressing of 2-4-2 dr earths and worm castings. May try daily watering but less water. They seem to love the fish tank water. Decided against the 3rd topping. There's plenty!

This week the plants got very bushy and wide. Stopped using Root Juice and Used Recharge microbes for the first time one day out of the week. LST also began this week. I noticed separate issues on two of the plants on their 21st day; the girl on the right showed some yellow color in some of the tips of the new growth at the top of the plant, while the girl in the middle had low hanging leaf tips which look burned / discolored. I think I might be over-watering. I'll confirm all of their soil is completely dry with my a moisture meter before watering next time.

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 4: The Symphony of Growth Continues! Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green kingdom! Week 4 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with a crescendo of growth, as we continue to shape this botanical masterpiece. Join me as we explore the ongoing ballet of bending, leaf manipulation, and the new addition – topping! Our Apolo F1 has truly become a prima ballerina in the art of controlled chaos. The mainlining technique continues to guide the branches into a dance of elegance and efficiency. Each bend and twist is a stroke on the canvas of growth, ensuring even light distribution and robust development. It's like watching nature paint its own masterpiece! Leaf manipulation adds an extra layer to our botanical canvas. Gently coaxing the leaves to bend and expose more surface area to light is like unlocking the full potential of each leaf. The result? A foliage symphony that's not only beautiful but also optimized for photosynthesis. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's composing a green opus! In a bold move, I've decided to top our flourishing Apolo F1. Topping is like giving her a stylish haircut, redirecting the energy to create multiple colas and enhance bushiness. It's a calculated risk, and judging by the vibrant response so far, our green virtuoso is ready to embrace the challenge. The stage is set for a richer, more complex growth performance! The nutrient-rich serenade persists with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 has a nutrient banquet at her disposal. The temperature remains a cozy 20 degrees Celsius, providing the ideal backdrop for this botanical performance. Beneath the soil surface, the root rhapsody continues. Roots are not just anchors; they're the silent applauders to our botanical spectacle. Their dance beneath the surface ensures our Apolo F1 remains anchored and well-nourished. As always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fuels our green odyssey, and to Royal Queen Seeds for gifting us the botanical star of this vibrant show. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the continued symphony of growth and the unfolding drama of a topped and trained botanical virtuoso! Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be evergreen! 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

05/13/2025 Growing well, don’t have to do anything but refill the nutrient water whenever needs (usually every 2 weeks or so)
