Never have I ever seen this happen! I topped it, and there is 4 different tops! I've got no clue what happened but I ain't mad! 😅

Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

Crazy hard nuggets 🤤 lot trichomes, small amount of time necessary for trimming 💪 @barneysfarm this is great genetics massive thanks ❤️ i cant wait to try this strain again!

Buds are still wet and sticky. They have been cleaned and put in the drying rack with a humidity control. Once dried, they will be stored in jars with humidity packs. Smell is fruity and pistols seem almost perfect in colour. Will keep an eye on humidity in the coming days so that we don’t dry out the plant too much

Woche 14 – Aus drei werden eins 🍑🌿🌿🌿 Diese Woche zeigt mir die Apricot endgültig, warum dieses Outdoor-Projekt für mich etwas Besonderes geworden ist. Was einmal als drei einzelne Apricot Autos begonnen hat, sieht inzwischen aus wie eine einzige große Pflanze. Durch das Training und die Verteilung der Triebe haben sich die drei Pflanzen zu einem gemeinsamen Blütendach entwickelt. Überall ragen Tops aus der Struktur heraus – und inzwischen geht es nicht mehr darum, neue Fläche aufzubauen. Jetzt geht es um Blütenmasse. Und genau da hat sich seit dem letzten Update einiges getan. Die einzelnen Buds beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen und die Blütenstände werden zunehmend kompakter. Besonders schön finde ich, dass sich die Entwicklung nicht nur auf die obersten Colas beschränkt. Auch weiter unten sitzen zahlreiche gut entwickelte Blüten, wodurch die gesamte Pflanze inzwischen regelrecht mit Budsites übersät ist. ❄️ Der Frost kommt Die Nahaufnahmen zeigen momentan wohl am besten, wohin die Reise geht. Die Trichomproduktion nimmt richtig Fahrt auf. Nicht nur die Blüten selbst, sondern auch die umliegenden Sugar Leaves sind inzwischen mit einer deutlich sichtbaren Harzschicht bedeckt. In der direkten Sonne funkeln manche Tops fast, als hätte jemand feinen Zucker darüber gestreut. Gleichzeitig beginnen einige Blüten, erste dunklere und leicht violett-rötliche Farbtöne zu entwickeln. Zwischen dem kräftigen Grün und der hellen Harzschicht entstehen dadurch immer mehr kleine Farbkontraste. Und genau auf diese Phase habe ich gewartet. 😍 🌿 Drei Pflanzen – drei Charaktere Obwohl die drei Apricots gemeinsam wie eine einzige Pflanze wirken, zeigen sich bei genauerem Hinsehen durchaus Unterschiede. Einige Triebe bauen etwas länglichere, stärker gestapelte Blüten auf, während andere Tops kompakter und gedrungener erscheinen. Auch bei der Farbentwicklung und Harzmenge zeigen sich erste kleine Unterschiede. Gerade das macht dieses Projekt für mich so spannend: Drei Samen derselben Genetik – gemeinsam trainiert, unter denselben Bedingungen – und trotzdem darf jede Pflanze ihren eigenen Charakter zeigen. ☀️ Outdoor bedeutet echte Natur Kein perfekt kontrollierter Indoor-Raum. Keine konstanten Bedingungen. Sonne, Wolken, Wind, Temperaturschwankungen und alles, was ein echter Sommer mit sich bringt. Und trotzdem stehen die drei Apricots hier mit einer erstaunlich vitalen Struktur. Die Blätter arbeiten weiterhin kräftig, die Äste tragen inzwischen eine ordentliche Menge Blüten und die Pflanzen konzentrieren ihre Energie sichtbar immer stärker auf die Budproduktion. Genau das liebe ich an Outdoor-Grows: Man kontrolliert nicht alles. Man arbeitet mit der Natur. 🍑 Jetzt beginnt meine Lieblingsphase Von hier an wird jeder Tag interessanter. Die Grundstruktur der Blüten steht. Jetzt dürfen die Kelche weiter anschwellen, die Buds dichter werden, die Harzschicht dicker werden und die Farben langsam ihren Weg durch die Pflanze finden. Wenn die Apricots in diesem Tempo weitermachen, könnten die letzten Wochen optisch noch einmal richtig spektakulär werden. Drei Pflanzen. Ein gemeinsames Blütendach. Unzählige Budsites. Und langsam verwandelt sich das ganze Ding in eine frostige Apricot-Wand. 🍑❄️ To be continued… 💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEEK 14 – THREE BECOME ONE 🍑🌿🌿🌿 This week the Apricots are finally showing me why this outdoor project has become something very special. What started as three individual Apricot Autos now almost looks like one single massive plant. Through training and spreading the branches, all three plants have grown together into one shared flowering canopy. Tops are appearing everywhere – and at this point the mission is no longer about creating more structure. Now it's all about building flowers. And there has been a noticeable change since the previous update. The individual buds are starting to swell and the flower clusters are becoming increasingly substantial. What I particularly like is that this development isn't limited to the highest colas. There are well-developed flowers deeper throughout the structure as well, making the whole canopy look increasingly packed with bud sites. ❄️ The frost is coming The close-ups probably tell the story better than anything else this week. Trichome production is really starting to accelerate. It's no longer restricted to the flowers themselves – the surrounding sugar leaves are becoming visibly coated as well. Under direct sunlight some of these tops already sparkle like they've been dusted with sugar. At the same time, several flowers are beginning to show subtle darker, reddish and purple tones, creating beautiful little contrasts between the green foliage and the increasingly bright resin coverage. This is exactly the stage I've been waiting for. 😍 🌿 Three plants – three personalities Although the three Apricots now appear to be one giant plant from a distance, looking closer reveals subtle differences between them. Some branches are developing slightly longer, stacked flowers, while others are producing more compact-looking tops. Small differences are also starting to appear in coloration and resin production. And that's one of my favorite parts of this project: Three seeds from the same genetics, trained together and grown under the same conditions – yet each plant is still allowed to show its own personality. ☀️ This is real outdoor growing There is no perfectly controlled indoor environment here. Sunshine, clouds, wind, temperature swings and everything else a real summer decides to throw at them. Yet these three Apricots continue to maintain an impressive structure. The foliage is still working hard, the branches are now carrying a serious number of flowers and the plants are visibly directing more and more of their energy toward bud production. That's exactly what I love about outdoor growing. You don't control everything. You work together with nature. 🍑 My favorite part is beginning From this point forward, every day becomes more interesting. The foundation of the flowers is established. Now it's time for the calyxes to swell, the buds to become denser, the resin layer to get heavier and the colors to slowly work their way through the flowers. If these Apricots continue developing at this pace, the final part of this journey could become something really beautiful. Three plants. One shared canopy. Bud sites everywhere. And slowly the whole thing is turning into a frosty wall of Apricot. 🍑❄️ To be continued… 💚

Whole review coming soon!

I guess, it's the waiting game. Just watering 1,5 liters ph'ed water daily and checking the trichomes. I'm really happy with the results so far. 😁😁😁

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

week two flower everything looks healthy :D today i defoliated them i watered them with 1.5l every 48h the light i use was set to 80% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops

420 Fastbuds Amnesia Haze Auto Week 5 This week has been good over all. Did do another defoliation as well as lollipop them Taking off all the lower leafs and preflower site up to the 3rd node on every branch. Heat still has been a little issue but I still think they're hanging in fine. I have since sprouts sprayed once a week of PureCrop1 as a preventive maintenance and pest deterant. I'd say will see what the flowering stage has to offer as preflower sites are popping up everywhere. All in all Happy Growing

Wow her flowers are packing the weight on this week! Noticeably bigger this week. The pistils on the top of the main cola have JUST started turning colour. Nowhere else though.

7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far.

This one is a wrap… Hang Dry for as long as possible and well be testing later 🚀🚀🚀 GHL

At about 9 weeks into flower the buds are still getting bigger and starting to foxtail at the top of the colas. Probably because its too close to the light even with the lst clips to try to manage size. The smell is amazing too, very pungent and lingers in your nose. It has a very unique aroma that's hard to describe but it definitely smells like a sweet dessert. Im adding this week late and just harvested it at about 10 weeks. I'll post the harvest when they're dried and trimmed. I also have a timelapse of the flower stage I'll share later.

Entering week 9 looking strong!

It smells Harvest 😄 Growers Life, it’s Xmas every 4 months, I hear jingle bells 😂 This will be the last week for this crop before posting Harvest reports. Gonna start to chop down all the ones that are ready on tomorrow. Others shall be ready to chop next Sunday. I have been very busy, couldn’t really find much time to update weekly from beginning to the end. Next crop will be fully updated weekly, and commented on each steps to grow serious Buds. Stay tuned for Harvest reports and enjoy the video until this time Jungle B4RNS will be back 😄😎👍 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

8 weeks old now! The harvest window is truly open... mostly cloudy trich’s and the pistils are over 50% amber on most plants. The cola’s are pretty large and dense, have mostly filled out as much as they possibly will. Harvest will be underway at some point over the next week so 9 weeks maximum for these Moby dicks. 👊😋

Most of the autos are being moved into my dad's garden or the backyard.

This ones doing well. They got moved into the 4x4 with the jimmy rigged 180w quantum board light built from ceiling tile grid. The tnb co2 is newish but I gotta get the heat up and bring in a more powerful light to take full advantage.
