📋Summary of previous weeks: I kept watering only by misting the surface and set the light schedule to 21h daily (06:30-03:30), with the lamp at 85cm and dimming adjusted from 45% to 55% throughout the week. The average temperature was 20°C and humidity 72%. The backup seed #R03 germinated on 13/02, and I started applying Bio Rhizotonic (1ml/1.5L) on 14/02. On 19/02, I did the first complete watering around the plants (300ml per plant, only water). 🌱Heights at the end of the week/beginning of this one: -#R01: 15 cm -#R02: 10 cm -#R03: 7 cm (backup, 1 week behind) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2️⃣Week Vegetation: 20/02 - 27/02 💡 Light schedule: 21 hours (06h30-03h30) 📏 Lamp To Plant Distance: 80cm ⚡ Dimming: 55% 🌡️ Average temperature: 20,5° ☔ Average humidity: 72% 🌱Height: - #R01: 15 cm - #R02: 10 cm - #R03: 7 cm (backup Seeds, 1 week behind) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #21/02/2025 I watered again with 300ml, this time diluting 2ml of Bio Rhizotonic by Canna in 1l of water , which will be my last application of this product.

Wow the smell! ghost train smells like a citrusy diesel and the pineapple is getting more of an acidic fruity aroma. they are finally starting to put on some size closing in on the end of week 4 flower, next week i will step up the nutes. I defoliared the bottom 50% of the plant now that it seems to have finished stretching, and removed any big fan leaves blocking the better bud sites. i couldn’t ask for a better first grow so far!

Another great week for the girls, I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed leave under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

November 17, day 23, the Black Cream hit it's flowering stage very quickly. The second time around it continues to be the fastest strain I have grown. Some leaves are a little droopy/clawed, but it's growing quickly every day so I am not too concerned. The Mars Hydro SP-3000 is able to penetrate the canopy well so i have not removed very many leaves. November 20, day 26, added video of irrigation. 🌱👉 Check out marshydro_aliexpress on Instagram (https://instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress?utm_medium=copy_link)

03.11: they’re doing great will update trough out the week. 05.11: got you some Updates. They‘re doing their thing 08.11: taking Off some Leafs every now and Then so they won’t touch any budsites, still doing great. 10.11: they‘re clearly starting to Stack, co2 is about to run out this week so I'll get them a little EC boost now. Lamp is hanging on max height possible now. Temps from 23 - 28C in the tent night/daytime and about 56 - 64% rh, will be lowered soon to 52-60% soon.

💚🌋💃

This week has been good, no surprises the pistols are really starting to show in the Zkittles and the Cheese is next is going to be next. The Lemon pie is a little bit behind in this round but I have another that’s 2 weeks younger and twice the height. Did some defoliantion a day or two ago everything seems to be happy

Das sind fantastische Nahaufnahmen! Deine Vermutung mit **1 bis 2 Wochen** ist eine absolut punktgenaue Landung. Man sieht deutlich, dass die Damen auf die Zielgerade eingebogen sind, aber jede Pflanze hat gerade ihr ganz eigenes Tempo. Hier ist die detaillierte Analyse der Trichome und des Reifegrades (von links nach rechts): ### 1. Apricot Auto (AA) – Die Vorreiterin * **Trichome:** Auf den Bildern sieht man ein sehr schönes Meer aus **milchigen (trüben)** Trichomen. Die ersten bernsteinfarbenen Köpfchen blitzen vereinzelt schon auf den Spitzen auf. * **Status:** Sie ist am weitesten. Hier sind wir eher bei **7 bis 10 Tagen**. * **Empfehlung:** Ab sofort nur noch klares Wasser (Spülen), falls du das nicht schon tust. Sie braucht keinen Dünger mehr, um fertig zu werden. ### 2. Cherry Cola (CC) – Die Überraschung * **Trichome:** Wer hätte das gedacht? Die "Zicke" hat ordentlich aufgeholt. Die Trichome sind fast alle trüb, kaum noch klare dabei. * **Status:** Sie liegt fast gleichauf mit der AA. Auch hier sind **10 Tage** ein realistisches Ziel. Das Wasser-Regime der letzten Zeit hat ihr sichtlich geholfen, den Stickstoff-Überschuss abzubauen und sich auf die Reife zu konzentrieren. ### 3. Tropicana Cookies (TC) – Die Harz-Maschine * **Trichome:** Das Harz ist phänomenal. Obwohl sie optisch am spektakulärsten aussieht, wirken die Trichome hier noch am "frischesten". Es sind noch einige klare Köpfchen dazwischen. * **Status:** Sie hat das größte Potenzial, in den nächsten Tagen noch an Masse und Potenz zuzulegen. Hier würde ich eher auf die vollen **14 Tage** tippen, um das Maximum an Bernstein für einen entspannten Turn herauszuholen. --- ### Mein Fazit & Plan für die "Letzte Ölung": 1. **Wasser-Marsch:** Ich würde ab jetzt bei **allen dreien komplett auf Dünger verzichten** (auch kein PK mehr). Die Pflanzen haben genug Reserven in den Blättern, um die letzte Woche zu zehren. Das verbessert den Geschmack massiv. 2. **Lichtleistung (80%):** Lass die Lampe auf 80%. In der letzten Woche vor der Ernte kannst du sie (wenn die Temperatur unter 26°C bleibt) für 3-4 Tage auf 90% pushen, um die Harzproduktion als "Stressreaktion" final zu triggern. 3. **RLF im Auge behalten:** Da die Buds jetzt extrem dicht und harzig sind, ist eine RLF von **unter 50%** dein bester Freund gegen Schimmel auf den letzten Metern.

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

Flowering 11.

Hello Growers & Tokers! As you can see the hunt for those cosmic snacks seem to be on track! I topped her at the seventh node. I'll let her bounce back from that then comes a good defoliation the switch to flower. My plan is to have as an even canopy with about 8-10 colas. That's about it for this week. Take care out there and happy growing!

Slowly tapered the nutes mainly just watering with 1/8 tsp per gal. of open sesame. Since I'm new I'm compiling everything I've read and making an educated guess at how I am supposed to flush these girls for 2 weeks. But simultaneously never just feeding plain water... What do you guys think? How close are we. Need tips

Fuk you shredder @chedderbob112

Banana frosting still looks like shit. Just going to keep going and hope it gets better, again, not much I can do. Mandarin punch is looking amazing. Giving about 200ml of water every 2-3 days, no nutrients in either pot. Going to start LST but not sure what to do or if it’s ready yet. They get sunlight (through the window) from 8-12pm, then under the LED

The plants have taken to their Earthboxes, especially #1 with the BuildASoil Light. The Earthbox with my Coots mix was the runt, plus I damaged the roots during transplant so it has an uphill battle, but I wouldn't count it out yet. It was looking droopy and with slight discoloration, but after a drench of Kashi Blend Tea (1/3 cup Kashi Blend, 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours) it perked right up. As for preventative pest management, I've kept doing foliar applications every 4 days of EM-FPE -> EM-1, next week I will incorporate the just-finished EM-5. I made a JADAM wetting agent (JWA) but I have realized even local bottled water is too mineral-heavy for it, so I will need to find a source of distilled water if I want to use it in my foliar regime. Next week I will begin doing LST to get some more tops going. At some point I plan to add a trellis, I have been busy with work but I will find the time to set up something, preferably a trellis that can move with the Earthbox to facilitate maintenance and not have them fixed in place for the entire training and flowering cycles.

Hello growers day 42 in the garden with the crystal candy and red poison autos another easy week all girls are doing very well the red poison are starting to buff up now the red poison that’s not red is now the tallest girl in the tent all 4 crystal candy are budding up nicely like I said not been doing much to them just feeding 2L every couple of days to each girl and that are fine so until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

Still no flowers, foliar calmag, silicate, proroots. Still problems with Calcium. Matterhorn is unstable genetics!

Plants 1 & 3 are doing good. #1 is a beast so far. I will probably start flushing plant #3 here soon, she got stunted and I don’t think she’s really packing on weight anymore. So part of plant #2 was dry enough for jars after 5 days. Dry trimmed about an 38g. Still have about 2-3x as much left to trim. I think I’ll wet trim the other two it seems way harder to dry trim. I’ll have a total dry weight for plant #2 tomorrow.

🌱 Grow Journal – Week 8 This week, the plant kept growing steadily and looks healthy overall. She gained almost 8 centimeters in just seven days—that’s more than a centimeter per day, which is a great sign of strong development. I’m planning to work on her structure a little: probably a topping in the coming days, along with a light defoliation. The goal is to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure the light is distributed more evenly, while guiding her growth in a balanced way. The main challenge this week has been the pH. This morning, the reservoir measured 4.8 while the tray was at 5.2, a 0.4 difference. I honestly don’t understand why the drop was so sharp. I had added Athena Balance, which should stabilize the nutrient solution. The only explanation I can see is the heat—we hit almost 31°C this weekend, and I suspect the nutrient solution was heavily affected by the temperature rise. If anyone reading this journal has insights on why this happens, I’d be glad to hear them. It’s a bit frustrating, because Autopots are supposed to make things simple. But in reality, I still need to monitor closely, especially since the coco buffer doesn’t seem to be doing its job properly—or maybe the reservoir just dropped too low and threw everything off. Either way, I’ll stay vigilant. Hopefully, with summer ending and temperatures cooling down, the solution will stabilize and the pH won’t swing so much. On the positive side, I’m still really happy with Athena nutrients. The solution stays crystal clean, no buildup, no deposits, and that makes things a lot easier to manage. So overall: strong growth, healthy plant, but pH management continues to be the main challenge. Let’s see how things evolve next week.
