A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

Man, it's been a crazy week. These past few days have been brutal – seriously cold with this crazy humidity. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the chills and the way my skin feels all sticky. It's been a struggle, but I'm finally getting on top of things. I think I've figured out a good routine to dry things out around here, so hopefully, I'll be feeling a lot more comfortable soon. My gas tax plant's looking absolutely incredible. The buds are gonna be huge, I can already tell. It's got this insane amount of crystals too, which is always a good sign. I love the shape of the leaves, they're so tiny. And guess what? I've got over a hundred seeds from that plant, so I'm definitely going to grow a bunch of them and see which ones turn out the best.

I’ve been trimming and adjusting her LST in preparation for flower. She is almost there…I read she stretches during flowering…2 more weeks and I would add her to a 25 gallon pot then flower her.

Harvested. This is the way I'm doing most harvests now.. As you can't rate a pheno on just its apparence I feel. So from now on, smoke review will be all done and rated on the same to make it fair. As after an hour of harvest you can't change the ratings, and how can you tell how strong a strain is until you try it. 112days total under the light. I Added up the cost of this light running. Worked out at 177euro, now the 1st 50days was only ran under a 100w. I've already gotten 150g from 2 plants, and expecting another 250ish so 177euro +/- 5euro for 400ish grams of some of the best bud I've got so far, is more than a deal for me. As in my country it's 150euro for 14grams of good weed, so 400g, well, not so hard to do the math. Even if I got just 150 I'd just be as happy with that. I'm 4 days in. Keeping RH between 58-61%, have the dehumidifier set in the dry room. Temperature ranges from 20-22c. Mostly stays at 21c. Was able to take a HST'ed cola, removing it was no stress as the stress was already done when it HST'ed itself. It's 18g after 4 days of drying. The bud is so so dense, definitely hitting A grade appreance, let's see if we get A grade taste/stone results. This was 1 of the mid range colas, there is much bigger but I won't be removing them, but if this is anything to go by, I should get 100ish grams when its dry of some of the biggest buds I've seen in a while. The smell has got more pungent, but it 100% needs a cure. No hay/grassey smell as of yet, (this comes from been dried wrong, either 2 fast with 2 humid conditions, too hot, or your environment is jumping all over the place. I've been able to get rid of most of it as it goes after a week or 2 from the cure but there's 2 plants that still have a some what hay smell. But it's going. Was given her last heavy watering last week and then was given 1L of Terra Powers finisher and I let the soil get dry under the light, and when I felt it was dry but not hitting the stress factor in the substrate I put into dark rest, (soil will stop drying out, as photosynthesis has stopped), dark rested 48hrs, uprooted, and hung whole. Thanks to my sponsors from marshydro led lights and Terra Power Nutrients, and to the 2 reps I dealt with, great ladies. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code GGS at any marshydro site for a small discount.

This week got deleted so I cant remember exactly what was said in the update 😱 She looking healthy tho and got some flowers coming in. lol i cant believe how much the tent stretched

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

Amazing, incredible smell. Purple Red Sativa 😎🔥 is drying quickly due to cold temperatures and low humidity. Conserving that flavour 💯❤️🌈🔥

Week 3 starting off strong No nuts just yet still letting the Nector of the gods and FF soil just be my main base for nuts. Also I add some cal mag and PH balance the water. I will probably start adding some noots toward the end of the week when I start seeing some more growth. For right now I'm thinking I might let them veg for about 6 weeks depending on the growth in the upcoming two weeks. Hope you all are having a safe and fund grown. Make sure you hit the follow button

She's nearing harvest and has about 2 weeks maybe less. Depends how desperate I get for smoke. Could be gone next week.

Temperatures were quite high this week, 29-30 with the lights on, 27-28 with lights off. Humidity was good, around 46-53%. Otherwise, everything is going smoothly. DAY 139 -Molasses PH - 5.91 PPM-765 Solution Temp - 20 Watering Volume - 4L DAY 142 - Nutes PH - 5.83 PPM- 2350 Solution Temp - 19 Watering Volume - 4L

Upgrade light to 900w purple This week I feed her with light nutrients and High dose bloombastic 1.5 ml per litre This strain love nutrients while my other plant keep piss me off till now I never flush her always with max dose nutrients and never any problems Today day 67 I measured run off and was 1800ppm and I never have any problems she loves nutrients but now I give her just water with 1ml bloombastic till finiah to bring down ppm also I cut most fan leaves to keep bud dense and heavy (recommend by friend ) So let see I think she is ready in 7 to 10 days not long left Day 68 I flush her with 15L water to bring down ppm to 1000 and after that just feed her 1.5 ml bloombastic till finish

Day 19 since flip, not much to report. Top dress today of 4-8-4 rose and flower mix from down to earth with a little worm castings. Almost done with stretch. Back two are Gary Poppins (Gary Payton x Red Runtz). One on the left is stretching to the moon, definitely a Gary leaner, and the one on the right turned out to be the smallest plant of the five, definitely a Runtz leaner. Plain ph’d tap water and that’s it 🌡️: 77-80 F 💡: 65% @ 20 inches 💦:60%

Very satisfying. Waiting to more upload.

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 5 From Seed (12/12 Run) Hello everyone, welcome to another update, and a big thank you to everyone following along, newcomers, longtime readers, sponsors, platform, and of course the breeders and creators behind these genetics. It truly means a lot to share this journey together. For those just joining: this is a 12/12 from seed run, approached gently and observationally. No rush, no aggression, just letting the plants express themselves while we listen closely. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions • Temperature: 21°C • Relative Humidity: ~58% • Outside conditions: 4–5°C with 90–98% RH Given what’s happening outside, I’m actually very happy with how stable the room is staying. The plants seem to agree, posture, color, and overall vigor are excellent. • CO₂: ~666 ppm For now, this is perfectly fine. No need to push or supplement — steady and natural. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy (Top + Under Canopy) At the start of the week: • Only top lights are running • Power: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) As the plants stretch and rise above the under-canopy fixtures, we’re now introducing under-canopy lighting: • Lumiflora under-canopy lights • Starting at 30% power This is very intentional. The goal isn’t to blast the plants, but to teach them that light and photons will be arriving from more than one direction. We want a gentle adaptation — letting the plant reorganize how it uses light rather than forcing it. Power will be increased later, but right now it’s all about adjustment, not intensity. ⸻ 🌿 Training Approach (or lack of it) Because this is a 12/12 from seed run, we are being extremely conservative. • No topping • No hard training • No defoliation The only work being done: • Leaf tucking • Gentle leaf bending And the response has been incredible. These girls are reacting with: • Tight internodes • Bushy structure • Calm, confident growth Sometimes, truly, less touch = better performance. ⸻ 🌱 The Triple-Branching Lady (Main Focus of the Week) This week’s highlight is one very special plant showing clear triple branching. At each node, instead of the usual two shoots, she’s producing three distinct branches, stacking from the bottom all the way up. The structure almost looks like she’s tucking herself naturally, creating a dense but elegant framework. This is not something we forced. It’s purely genetic expression meeting the right conditions. She looks happy. She looks calm. And she looks like she’s planning something special. We’ll be doing a dedicated report on her by the end of the week, because this kind of morphology deserves proper documentation. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition Strategy Water Source We’re using a mix of: • Rainwater • Dehumidifier-collected water This water is extremely soft, so this week we introduced something new: ➕ CalMag Pro Not because the plants were asking — but thinking ahead. Before adding nutrition, we want a proper mineral foundation. This helps stabilize uptake and prevents issues before they even show up. Aside from that: • No changes to the main recipe • Everything remains steady and predictable ⸻

DOH! I've missed my window of opportunity for major defoliating and lollipopping. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-defoliation-a-high-risk-way-to-increase-yield-n562 I don't wanna risk a hermie by stressing the plant with heavy removal of lower branches after I've gone into flowering. I'll have to wait until next grow to do a heavy defoliation and lollipop BEFORE I flip my lights...ideally 2-3 days before. I'll still be removing necrotic leaves as and when.
