Hello everyone and welcome back to my diary. Tomorrow marks the end of the fourth week of growth for Titan F1. I don't think the plant is ready to flower yet and I think it needs at least another week to grow. Only time will tell if I'm right or not. This week has been quiet, but we have two important updates. 1) At the beginning of the week, I gave it some care and removed a few leaves that I thought were unnecessary. A bit of defoliation. Like 6/7 leaves removed. 2) Today, it had some more maintenance, this time more intensive. I removed two excess leaves and applied the LST technique for the first time. Honestly, I enjoyed modifying the pot to accommodate the holes where the string would be attached. To tell the truth, this low-cost adventure is becoming interesting, and I am having a lot of fun doing it and experimenting. To tell the truth, my LST seems a bit aggressive and excessive, but we'll see in the next few days how the plant decides to respond and react to the LST. Maybe it will die, hahaha. During this week, and reading other diaries for comparison, I determined that my plant is NOT drinking enough water. The problem arises because I am unable to determine how much water is left in the soil/pot. So today I decided to use a little cunning and weigh the pot when it was completely dry and then again after I watered it. I watered it with about 1050/1100 ml of water mixed with its weekly dose of nutrients. This time there was excess water, resulting in excess dripping. In the final weighing after watering and after the excess water had drained away, the final weight increased by about 720/730 grams. The water I added was around 1050 grams. So 75% of the water remained in the soil. Dry it was 4400 grams, wet it reached 5120 grams. I don't know if this is good or not, I hope the plant is doing well. In the meantime, I have ordered a device that allows me to check several parameters in the soil, such as moisture, acidity and other things that are important to us growers. I feel like a child at Christmas :). I also bought a pH meter for the water, as mine broke and I had to buy another one, and I haven't been able to check the acidity levels for the last two waterings. I hope it doesn't bother the plant too much and that it continues to grow. I've deduced that it drinks little because I'm forced to water it practically once a week. I expected it to consume more water, especially in its current pre-flowering phase. The new device on its way will help me keep all the parameters under control: the soil, the plant, the temperature, the water levels, the humidity and a few other things I can't remember. Everything should be ready next week. The lamp is on full power all the time, at 100% with a 24/0 cycle, 7 days a week. The plant has reached 20 centimetres in height. I wonder if this LST will keep it small. I have some space issues, so I can't let it grow too tall, which is why I'm using LST. Otherwise, everything seems to be going well, I hope I'll be able to smoke this one. Thanks everyone, see you next week with new updates, who knows, maybe it will start flowering :)

did some LST to this girl. We were in the middle of a mini drought but we did get 6mm of rain yesterday. So that will help with growth a lot. I also watered them with a whopping 9 gal each day before the rain. So I am expecting some excellent growth over the coming week. Ive been looking for an inexpensive source of granulated humic and fulvic acids if anyone knows of a source in southern Ontario.

Week 6 flower. Not much to report with this one. Growing very slow, little buds, smell musky and not very nice but improving, very frosty and getting frostier. Watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Day 36 flower I turned off Blumat drip and will water with the watering wand from here on out. Just another potential runaway dripper so I eliminated the risk. I will just build another reliable system with a timer and use the Blumat outside. Thanks for the view! Have a great week!

Day 22 - Everything is going well so far. I redid the LST today and got about 6 nodes to the light. She is growing fast and quite healthy so I'm happy👍☮️. Day 25 - She has made a full recovery from the nitrogen deficiency! I'm now giving her a little bit of Top-Max to help stimulate the flower phase 🌸. Day 28 - Everything is moving alone nicely! I tied her branches down again today. She responds very well to LST. Her leaves are nice big indica leaves and are a perfect green color.

I always find it hard to say how much water they are taking because the whole auto pot thing. It would be more useful to maybe have an option to be able to change the unit because it would be way easier for me to say how much water has been put in the res during the week - sometimes even that’s hard to remember for me! Aaaaanyway, things are going fine in the grow - I turned down the light just a tiny bit as the pistols were showing signs of having too much light and they were just looking a little bleached out, so I turned down the light to around 80-90% as well as I think I raised it a little bit also. It’s much harder keeping everything stable in such a small space when I am used to having a room to use but oh well, it is what it is - I am really lucky / stupid to be doing this one, however, I also went into the grow knowing I may have to kill her at any moment - dependant upon visits etc. I know photo growers always say there is no difference in speed between autos and photos but there is a couple of weeks in it most of the time - at the very least. I tried it, my last proper grow I selected all fairly fast flowering photos (not those photos that have been bred with autos to make them quick but just generally fast flowering plants) and it still took longer than my longest auto has taken and it annoyingly Hermes so had to turn into hash coz it was super annoying.) but that’s all in the past now… So I haven’t had to resort to using my AC yet but I did get a 1/4 of the price knocked off because it doesn’t work with the app properly and that’s basically what it was sold on! Don’t go to klarstein, people! She’s def been stretching for sure but I remember this being a really squat plant anyway and I have also trained it in a bit of an odd manner so that it grew outwards with a flatter canopy - I wouldn’t top in future. I don’t really know why I did - maybe because I always have (for the most part) but I think she’d have grown taller and had bigger side branching if I hadn’t but having said that it is pretty much impossible to tell! Unless you do an A/B test - which I obviously don’t have room for! In the next week I am hoping to see her get really hairy and hoping to have to attach a carbon filter - as that would mean she’s happy and I’m going to get some dank. With regards to expected harvest - I genuinely have no idea. She averages at around 2.5z/plant going on the info put into grow diaries and that it about what I got last time - I don’t think I ever weighed it tbh coz I grew it just to turn into rosin. Having said that, it is a totally different set up and the first time I am using this light, so I’m not sure of the capabilities of what is probably a 120-140w light - now I have dimmed it down. I mean, I guess if she was starved for light I wouldn’t have had to turn it down so I’m confident it can produce sticky buds. I will also turn it up to full power in the last couple weeks. She’s meant to be a 10 week or 70 day strain - and I hope that is true because I am going on holiday in early July so I can’t have her going on and on and on. She will have to be cut when she will have to be cut - and maybe hung whilst I am away with the ability to control the environment over Wi-Fi (and probably a camera). Iv just looked at dates and actually she can go on for 13 weeks and so it is all good - she should still be drying by the time I go there and should be ready for me when I get back - I’ll be doing a dry trim as I always do just because it slows down the drying process even more - although actually to be fair the main reason I used to do that was I didn’t have seperate climate control for drying and couldn’t use the tent as was on a perpetual grow. This time I’ll be able to set it tov 60%/60f and hopefully keep it there for a full couple of weeks. Obviously I get rid of big the fan leaves and also chop it into smaller branches but other than that I prefer to do it all dry - saves your choppers for one thing!

I'm loving this strain so far she is very short in stature and takes to training very well the structure I'm liking ...she was bent around some more this week and recovered very well. The girl will be continued with the trading for at least another 4 weeks before the flip over to flower . I'm getting excited to see how she will look in another week just such good genetics ...cheers fam

Shes in the fast lane and got the hammer down now. Look at the growth over 2 days once I hit that sweet spot with the nutrients. Geoff has definitely checked off some boxes with this girl, the vigor and structure are on point, she's definitely oozing some strong skunky terpene early on as well.

She’s a little sensitive to nutrients. Shes had some light nutrients but very light. Mostly Ph’d water. Going to give her the full Canna coco line tomorrow and introduce a pk booster but low streangth

Hello Diary, Apollo F1 has completed its second week of vegetation and so far it is developing nice and fast without any problems. I only water them every 4-5 days and watch them develop beautifully. Apollo F1 grew a little less than 10 cm in a week, which is great, and they started showing the first signs of flower formation. It will be much more visible next week. As I mentioned, watering is not that frequent, every 4 days she gets about 2 liters of water, like her two roommates. This time I added Bigger Flowers from the Bio Flowering Booster palette. In my opinion, the conditions on the Farm are good, the humidity is still around 50% and the temperature is around 25 degrees. A brief overview of the week. 08/05/2023 - Day 9. Watering. I prepared about 6 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and added Bigger Flowers. I watered all three plants evenly with that amount. 12/05/2023 - Day 13. Watering. This time I didn't add Bigger Flowers, I just regulated the p.H. value. 13/05/2023 - Day 14. Photographing and height measurement. Officially the end of the second week of vegetation. Apollo F1 - 17 cm That's all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.

I’m thinking the girls need another week or two, getting very close but I do prefer indica effects so I’m waiting on that beautiful amber color yield might not be all there but quality is definitely showing 🔥💪 shoutout to 420 FASTBUDS for great genetics!

12/9/2017 - The stretch these girls put on when they hit flower is insane. I'm getting ready to add bamboo stakes for support because I already can tell they are going to have massive nugs on them. They jumped from 9-10inches tall to just shy of 24 inches in under a week. They have now stopped all veg growth and are starting to pack on pistils already. I just got a new bottle of mammoth P so that will be added back into the nutrients starting now. 12/12/2017 - Definitely 2 completely different phenotypes. One is extremely tall (30 inches from pot) and stretched out with a bunch of long side branches. The other is shorter (24 inches from pot) and bushier. It will need some leaf tucking during flower for sure. They are both responding very well to the environment and nutrients (I got more mammoth p finally!!!) I've also used bamboo chutes and this gardening velcro tape stuff that I love to support all of the branches. Based on my Gold Glue grow these plants are about to produce some monster buds that the branches wouldn't be able to support.
