April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

Hello, Well this week, i defo a bit both of plants. SS 2 - 3WEEKS AGO was very short and now its like reacting for The Sky its about 50 cm. And also is getting lots of space beteween buds and also lots of buds sites thst were not able to see it b4. So hope tô see yall next week. And honeztly. Its very dificcult tô keep a feeding schedule for 2 plants t When one is falling behind but besides sprouted At The same days básically, but how we say living and learning só i guess SS will bê harverst maybe 2or 3 weeks after RD, lol but yeal its só confusing

PBB's coming to an end

Time to put them in there new home, I'm using around 45l of living soil per pot.

Still going through flowering. She has stayed short and stocky throughout since week 3/4 actually. About that time I remember watering her with nutrients that must have been too acidic. I'm pretty sure I omitted add ph up. 😭 The damage was done, growth all but stopped. As she is an auto flower there is no time to 'save' her and grow a big plant, so we will go to the end with what we've got.

2/10: I watered today with about 3/4 gallon each, plus cal-mag, signal, bembe, armor si, a little open sesame, and their final dose of endoboost. The shorter one is budding up quickly now. 2/11: Wife home sick today....postponing construction project to raise the lights. 2/12: Today, I tackled the project to raise my ceiling another foot. In addition to that project, I installed and hooked up my new AC Infinity 6" intake fan. It's pulling in fresh air from the soffit vent on the eave of the attic, and currently feeding the garden with 46f fresh air. I'm able to easily maintain daytime temps in the lower 70f's now. I am able to drive the nighttime temps as low as I want. The only issue is that the outdoor RH varies quite a bit, so I ordered a 30-pint dehumidifier to put in the top of the closet. I sprayed everybody with boomboom spray to try and mitigate the light burn damage that is likely to ensue. 2/13: The taller one is still stretching a little bit, but the 2-footer is just budding up. 2/14: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, cal-mag, signal, bembe, humic acid, and I switched over from Open Sesame to Beastie Bloomz. Raised the lights another couple of inches. I did some training on them and defo'd a little bit. 2/15: Installed the new dehumidifier and rigged the continuous drain on it...works great. 2/16: I rotated the edge plants and removed some old leaves. I added another 22w 3000k 4' bar light under the canopy. 2/17: I rearranged the garden and defoliated a little bit. That's it for week 8-

Cant wait to do her again next year wouldn't mind trying a indoor run on her as she flowers really fast for a sativa

I've rearranged a bit more and placed small platforms to balance the plants of different heights. Now I'm really satisfied, and the ladies looking good too. I think the Red Banana Berry will go out this weekend and into preparation for the living-dead phase before drying. 😇

Day 20 - All the girls doing well except one which was literally slow from germination, so ill be pulling that one and left with 3 Runtz. Aside from that, the rest of the plants are loving the environment, the cooler conditions definitely helps. Also have a thermostat that kicks in if its too cold and cuts out if too hot. Will start a little bit of plant training but tempted to just let them run and grow out part natural with a bit of assistance.

10/29: Watered 2 gallons in each plant. Pulled branches down and out to spread as wide as possible. Things are looking good, pulled a few dead leaves and it has a couple that have brown on the tips, but past experience tells me that it will pass and they will be fine. I'll keep an eye and determine if anything needs to be done. 11/2 - They lost the friend that was finishing up and gained a new friend who is in week 1 flower. This one is another non-diary plant that I began before being on here.

Es geht voran AKF ist jetzt auch vorhanden diese Woche kommt noch ein Ventilator von Spiderfarmer.

got hermies in flower week 2...tried to remove most but it seems they spread their love already....found seeds on all other plants :( plant still looked great and got a great yield!

Tangerine Band grew excellent. She was the biggest plant in the run of 4. She grew vigorously and has some really frosty colas on her. She actually got too big for my grow space. I am cutting her down today and everything looks great. Thank you Exotic Seeds, Spider Farmer, and Athena nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Sorry my video cut off mid harvest and I lost the last half of the Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Results are starting to come in now, going to be Cake all the way to the end. Time to grab your popcorn and stay tuned in 🤡🎪 Short Phenos is Pure Michigan lean, obvious now with the purple starting to form from bud sites. Tall girl is Sugar Cane Pheno what a stake, huh!? GHL out 🚀

This is their final week as it seems, 1 is already harvested and the other 3 are to follow the next days A Final harvest update with dried flower photos will be posted in a couple weeks max along with a mini smoke report. Thank you all for joining this trip together! Happy grows!

2020-07-21 (Day 62) Likely 1 more week! We’re in the home stretch! Bit of foxtailing, this thing just looks so damn cool, everyone that sees it thinks it looks amazing. Open my patio door and you get blasted with a mixture of aromas. Stay tuned and watch her finish up!

Hallo zusammen! 👋🍑 Auch meine Apricots entwickeln sich in Woche 10 genau in die Richtung, die ich mir erhofft hatte. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Veränderungen deutlicher und langsam beginnt die eigentliche Magie der Blütephase. Die Pflanzen haben in den letzten Tagen sichtbar an Masse gewonnen. Besonders die Hauptcolas werden immer kompakter und beginnen sich Stück für Stück zu verdichten. Gleichzeitig legen auch die zahlreichen Seitentriebe ordentlich zu, wodurch überall gleichmäßig schöne Blüten entstehen. Besonders beeindruckt mich in dieser Woche die Harzentwicklung. Die Sugar Leaves sind mittlerweile nahezu komplett mit Trichomen überzogen und die Blüten bekommen diesen wunderschönen frostigen Look, der von Woche zu Woche intensiver wird. Man merkt, dass die Pflanzen jetzt ihre Energie voll auf die Blütenproduktion konzentrieren. Trotz des wechselhaften Wetters entwickeln sich die Apricots weiterhin ausgesprochen stabil. Die Blattfarbe ist gesund, das Wachstum bleibt kräftig und die Blüten schieben täglich neue Kelche nach. Dadurch werden die Colas immer massiver und gewinnen kontinuierlich an Volumen. Ich bin außerdem sehr zufrieden mit der Struktur der Pflanzen. Durch das Training gelangt ausreichend Licht bis in die unteren Bereiche, sodass selbst kleinere Budsites hervorragend mitwachsen. Genau das sorgt dafür, dass sich nicht nur die Spitzen, sondern nahezu die komplette Pflanze gleichmäßig entwickelt. Auch der Duft verändert sich inzwischen deutlich. Beim Berühren der Blüten bleibt ein intensives, süß-fruchtiges Aroma an den Fingern zurück, das bereits jetzt Lust auf die Ernte macht. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase des gesamten Grows. In den kommenden Wochen werden die Blüten weiter anschwellen, die Trichomproduktion wird noch einmal deutlich zunehmen und ich bin gespannt, welches Potenzial die Apricots bis zur Ernte noch entfalten werden. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Update und wünsche euch allen weiterhin eine erfolgreiche Grow-Saison! 💚🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! 👋🍑 My Apricots are continuing to develop beautifully in Week 10, and every new update makes the progress even more noticeable. The flowering stage is now entering one of the most exciting periods. Over the past week the plants have gained noticeable size and density. The main colas are becoming thicker and more compact, while the numerous side branches continue stacking flowers, creating a very even canopy filled with healthy bud sites. The biggest highlight this week is definitely the resin production. The sugar leaves are now heavily coated with trichomes, giving the buds a beautiful frosty appearance that becomes more impressive every day. It's clear that the plants are now directing most of their energy into flower production. Despite the changing outdoor conditions, the plants continue to perform extremely well. The foliage remains healthy, growth is vigorous, and fresh calyxes continue forming throughout the flowers. As a result, the colas are steadily becoming denser and gaining more weight week after week. I'm also very happy with the overall plant structure. Thanks to the training, plenty of light reaches the lower branches, allowing even the smaller bud sites to develop into well-formed flowers instead of remaining underdeveloped. This creates a much more balanced plant with quality buds throughout the entire canopy. Another thing I've really started to notice is the aroma. Every time I inspect the flowers, they release an increasingly rich sweet and fruity scent that already gives a small preview of what the final harvest might offer. The most exciting stage of this grow is just beginning. Over the coming weeks the buds should continue swelling, resin production will increase even further, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how much these Apricots can still develop before harvest. Thanks for following along, and I wish everyone a fantastic growing season! 💚🌱
