Today marks two weeks since germination and also the start of my journey with APTUS and their premium line program. 😎 First time working with these products so I´m gonna take it slow... mixing Regulator & Startbooster with PH at 6 and temp at 20ºC. 😉 Lowered the lights by 10 cms and the average for the week was 23,5ªC (temp) and 70% (hum). 😊 The supplies have arrived and the upgrades already installed... 2x 200mm duct vents for the side walls air entrance and swapped the 150 combi ducting for a 125 PhonicTrap acoustic ducting, that was just laying around here from a previous giveaway and wanted to test it out. Required a plastic reducer and some duct tape but the job was done 😅 As bonus a little trick I developed about placing sticky cards outside the tent near the side vent as first barrier and a little video with all the ladies together 😍 Really stoked with this one! 😋

Week6 D1 Some issues persist but we are now in too deep to fix it- I will continue to flush and get ready for harvest with rainbow belts. Pictures of her trichromes uploaded. The others are still clear and look to be swelling slowly but Apple crumble started throwing tons of popcorn nugs after the flush which I think is from the salts washing off but again we will stay the course. Plan to check and water tomorrow with cal mag. Week6 D3 Problems persist with Rainbow but trichromes are starting to amber. Will just stay with clean water and flush til harvest. I think the deficiencies with preharvest is causing a compounding issue but the buds still look good albeit smaller. Week6 D4 Same issues persist but we will let them dry out. Since I zapped the nutrients from pot with flush we will feed liquid for the other three girls (not rainbow) til a week before harvest. Wish me luck!

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

I received my Mars Hydro lights and they helped a lot. 2 TS-1000's. I supper cropped some of the 12/12 from seed and it looks like something trampled through the garden. Lol. The rest are really stretching now. I hope I the larger ones don't get rootbound. 🤞😁😁😁

Sie wächst immer noch in den unteren Seitentrieben weiter, obwohl sie schon gut blüht. Leider hat der Grauschimmel sie nicht verschont und ich musste ein kleines Stück eines Buds entfernen. Der Ventilator im Folientunnel weht auch sie nun direkt an um die Luftfeuchtigkeit in den Blüten zu senken und die Wasserversorgung wurde heruntergefahren. Hoffentlich schafft sie es bis zur Ernte in ca. 3-4 Wochen. Auto Cinderella Jacks benötigen etwas länger, dafür wachsen sie auch stärker. Sie ist die größte meiner diesjährigen Autoflower Pflanzen. Leider habe ich auch an ihr etwas Bud rot gefunden und sofort entfernt. Ich vesuche den Autoflowers den bestmöglichen Platz unter dem Ventilator zu geben. Der durch Schneckengewicht abgeknickte Zweig hängt zwar, aber er wächst bereits sich biegend nach oben. Bis nächste Woche! --- It is still growing in the lower side shoots, even though it is already flowering well. Unfortunately, gray mold has not spared it, and I had to remove a small piece of a bud. The fan in the foil tunnel is now blowing directly on it to reduce the humidity in the flowers, and the water supply has been reduced. Hopefully, it will make it to harvest in about 3-4 weeks. Auto Cinderella Jacks take a little longer, but they also grow stronger. It is the largest of my autoflower plants this year. Unfortunately, I also found some bud rot on it and removed it immediately. I try to give the autoflowers the best possible place under the fan. The branch, which was bent by the weight of snails, is hanging, but it is already growing upwards. See you next week!

Simply put I am so very pleased with the way this plant has performed my only worry is how to properly dry and cure this magnificent specimen

--Apr 4-- Here we go! Flushing started on Saturday. Flushing until Thursday and then lights out until Saturday for chop day! Thanks for all the responses to my questions and the helpful comments. Things are smelling amazing and look even better. Happy Easter indeed! --Apr 7-- So far so good. The girlfriend gave the girls a nice trimming job and cleaned them up real good! Got some more trich pictures today that came out nice and clear this time. My shakey hands don't allow for good closeups! --Apr 12-- Made the chop on Friday! Got a decent harvest it looks like. hang drying now until this weekend probably and then in the jars for a couple weeks. Already made some bubble hash out of the trimmings/popcorn buds which tastes pretty good and seems to be a decent smoke so far! I'll post again once I've finished the harvest and tried them out.

This plant will be grown again for sure. From start to finish there wasn’t a single issue and she performed well under my Optic LED and LST. Can’t wait to grow this again.

The Mandarine Cream is entering its third week of flowering, and the aroma is becoming increasingly potent. The plant is looking beautiful and vigorous, with the buds showing significant daily growth. The smell is evolving into a strong, citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit. Environment: This week began with a cold front, bringing temperatures down to a minimum of 5°C and a maximum of 15°C. A light rain has helped increase the humidity, which could boost resin production, although the cooler temperatures may also slow down the flowering process, just as they did during the vegetative stage. Fertilizing: I've stopped fertilizing as the plant now has everything it needs from the substrate. Watering: Sparse, around once a week, to maintain the right moisture levels without over-saturating. Pest Control: Beauveria applications have been reduced to once weekly, and the garden remains completely free of pests, which is a pleasant surprise. Training: The main cola top remains tied down. I haven't done any further defoliation or additional training. The focus is now on letting the plant continue its natural growth as it transitions deeper into flowering.

Plant still bulking out with clear and milky trichomes. Plant receiving water at the same frequency. May have started the flushing process a week too early.

Medium: Look, I love coco/soil, organic/synthetic just as much as anyone. I’ve never really hated on any particular method and each has its uses depending upon the environment. That being said.... hydro is likely to be the predominant indoor method for us going forward. It ticks all the boxes that the average hobby grower is looking for. Maintenance is generally pretty easy, while I’ve found myself monitoring ph and tds more frequently, I’m still only mixing nutes once a week instead of three. The hassle factor is crazy mitigated here👍. From a sustainability perspective, nute consumption is wayyyy down, saving more dolla bills y’all! Added bonus is that veg. Growth rates are just insanely fast. From the moment she popped her head out to the start of week 4, this girl was fimmed, pruned, trained and flipped. She put out a full oz. more than the 6 week(v) mainline beside er😳. Now that is just straight amazing😎. The key advantages - BIG F$&K’N YIELDS and auto pilot care for up to 2 weeks. It is a little bit of a tricky medium but once you dial in the ratios - smooth sail’n the whole grow. I can focus on training/maintenance instead of feeding🤟🤟. If there’s a drawback to DWC it would be that I’d have concerns about leaving it for more than a couple days when she’s in full flower. They just drink so much that It’s a constant top off. All told, far and away the most effective and economical medium we’ve used😎. Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️ Under this COB light system, the best method to date has definitely been a mainline. It’s got so much canopy penetration that we’re pulling down 16” long colas packed with well developed buds. Here’s where strain, medium and method kinda collide though. This girl was on a hurry up and go schedule. We lost the first one to root rot and had to get this one off the ground and mature before the cycle sched. Was gonna flip. Not to mention it was totally screwing with our spring nursery timing too. She was fimmed once and then splayed with LST. Not much either - just enough to get er spread apart a little. So you combine ultra fast growth rates of hydro with a big yield strain like this on a fast paced training method that limits required recovery times... and you get this monster. Just a perfect grow that anyone would be extremely happy with. We used frozen water bottles In the res. twice a day throughout the grow. My issues with light leaks and temps are well documented and I’m constantly running up against one or the other as a hurdle. This plant was no different and she started to re-veg. In the last few days prior to chop. All due to a light leak from the cabinet beside this one that was running on an 18/6. Gonna have to plug some light holes prior to next grow. Other than that - she was amazing and the method here is getting an unusually high and very rare 5/5.😳 Yield/Harvest🌴🌴🌴🌴 The final number is just so sweet. 6.04oz and she veg’d less than a month. Overall, I could confidently say that’s both faster and better than most typical autos in general😳😎👍👌. Any time your rock’n out 5+oz is a good haul but in this kinda time frame - that’s just crazy. We let her go just a little longer (again, as per Spliff’s direction) and it was worth the extra patience. She’s dense as all hell and a nice add to the stash🤟. Thanks as always for stickn around and watchn this one unfold. Sorry the update was so late but it’s been busier than expected. Even in the middle of COVID bullshit. Hope everyone remains safe and healthy. PEACE!✌️

1 plant was very ripe, 1 plant was almost perfect to harvest and the 3rd could take another 1-2 weeks...but it was end of 10th week of flower and i had to go on vacation, so i perhaps choped 1 plant abit too early....still awesome result!

10/31: I fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, and silica. Another batch of top-shelf genetics from Spliff Seeds. They are super frosty, fattening nicely, and smell delicious. One of the MWK's has a lot of purples in her lower flowers...sexy.👍 11/4: Fed with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, silica, and humic acid. Really in love with the big Moonwalker Kush...such a pretty plant....and her sister ain't too shabby either. Neither Strawberry put on much height, but every branch on them will produce some fatass buds with absolutely zero training...excellent candidate for a single-strain SOG. Amnesiacs protest with too much PAR or UVB...same with the LCK..their foliage is suffering a bit...

Hello my friends, ...May 26, 2022....Day N°75.. ...Flowering day N°19... My three Feminized Watermelon Candy are fine, there are beautiful, flowers are here. I feed them with the Hybrid powder and some Boster from Green House Feeding Nutrients. I gave them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 3000 at 50% of power and at 40cm of the canopy. www.zamnesia.com www.mars-hydro.com Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you only the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨
