Another week down few more to go can't wait!! First ever attempt of growing my own so really impatient to see the final results now and get to the finish line, that said all has went well upto now other than the size they reached haha, really started putting on weight now it seems and they smell lovely, excited to see the buds fatten and progress over these last few weeks up until harvest now, started 5 liberty haze also they are just coming upto 3 weeks now so check that diary out to, any comments info tips for the final stages appreciated

Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

So we are at about day 70 of flower 🌺. Still not ready for 3 of these ladies😤. Took down the back right plant last night she was ripe and ready. Hung her up after a lite trim, and she will dry in my jimmy rigged drying tub for about 10 days will weigh her then

the growth of my girls is slowed down, due to the techniques of hst ..... in return my tops are becoming dense and robust. we will see some beautiful ones see you around friends

Lots of growth all around, black domina still seems a little lackluster like she's always tired,Mango,overflow are kickn ass.... Don't think I'll save any BD for momma's definitely keeping couple of the mango one is showing deformaty like a poly..along with strawberry guava,overflow so far love how they grow

Blütetag 41 Luftfeuchtigkeit ist jetzt stabil unter 56%, leider wird’s teilweise sehr heiß, bis zu 33 C an warmen Tagen. Die Blüten sind nochmal etwas angeschwollen, jetzt geht es in die letzten 2-3 Wochen.

The final week! 12 weeks since germination, 11 since first sprout. These Apollo F1's vastly outgrew their advertised size and bud density. I will be cutting them down tomorrow and updating with the harvest page and photos soon. Great second grow!

27.03 Week’s not over yet but wanted to share a little video of progress. The girls have some issues, but after caving and grabbing some pH paper and fixing the water pH, I’m hoping they’ll not suffer too much. For the stunt queens this was when their issues exacerbated, but they did start off with a set back. Also new baby in the tent! Last before Mary Jane Berlin. Futile attempt at picking out cat hair also captured. Don’t at me, I grow just for me, ain’t no stopping it, just minimising it. 31.03 Not much to say other than the tent seems to have gone from a fairly green fresh scent to more pungent in a few days. Both plants smell lovely when I rub a leaf between my fingers, curious to see how they develop these coming few weeks. Hoping the pH-ing will fix some issues, and else we’re heading for another aggressive defoil. Considering the headstart these girls have on the stunt queens, I’m not too worried about it hurting the harvest.

Its finally harvest day.

3rd of September, Still drinking buckets and buckets Really fattening up now, Rain is expected next week, off course! Big showers and thundrrstorms She needs another trim soon for good airflow during the wet days

Defoliating heavily, looking for every bud to be smokable. In full bloom (being careful with PK) The 🍓 Cola Sherbet is looking the healthiest out of the bunch i must say, clearly loves the air pot!

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . + + leider ist die Halterung defekt und die Videos etwas schief . Vielleicht mach ich mich irgendwann mal daran und korrigiere das. Sorry Day 43: + Höhe : 64cm Es wächst und wächst :)) Day 44: + Höhe : 65cm + 2 Liter Flaschenwasser , kein Dünger . + + PH 6.5 + Drain : PH 7.0 Höhe ist bei 63cm , das ist 3 cm mehr als die Vorgabe ausweisst :)) Day 45: + 66cm höhe. + 2 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Greenhouse Feeding BioEnhancer als PH+ Jetzt säuft sie wie wilde , keine 24h und die 2Liter sind komplett wech . Mehr geht aber nicht in den Topf , ergo muss ich mir langsam mal überlegen ob ich Tropfbewässerung nutze . Und es treten duch das nur Wasser extreme "Calzium" Probleme auf . Hihi , aber so hab ich mal das ganze auf Startsequenze gesetzt . Ich arbeite also noch daran diese Mischung aus BioBizz Light und Urgesteinmehl nach Schätzung zu meistern :)) Den Fakt ist , da ist viel zu viel Urgesteinmehl drinne , was auch die Vegiphase schon gezeigt hat. Day 46: + 1.5 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Greenhouse Feeding BioEnhancer als PH+ Day 47: Draussen zu heiss , drinnen zu feucht ...

Jack Herer is growing really slow. The nutrition was initially too strong. I think she just grew into it. Hopefully she makes a lot of growing progress soon. I can't do much but wait at this point. Thank you Athena, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

awesome strain would 100% recommend.... still got a plat and a half to chop

Had a few issues this week mostly with ph runoff, was very high at 8.5 (had been on the rise for a little while given that I have been time poor and a lack of energy this was put on the I’ll do it tomorrow list). Picked up some drip clean and reset the coco. Now getting runoff at 6.4 and improving. The girls have been growing this week some more than others but overall I’m pretty happy with the progress shortest being 36cm tallest 67cm with most averaging 53-55cm. Picked up 2 more fans to keep the air moving and will be hopefully doing some restructuring of the tent to help reduce this humidity and potentially relocating 4 of the girls into the 1.5x1.5 tent to give them all some extra room Other than that just maintaining the light into the plants and trimming where required all be it in stages when time allows Potentially too late in this grow but have moved over to filtered water to remove chlorine, tds remains at 87 for tap water and filtered water but filtered there is 0 chlorine Have dialled up the lights from 45%/45%0% to 45% veg 60% bloom 0% uv for another 6 days if all is looking good will ramp to 60% veg 80% bloom for week 10 and checking for light stress. Have an overlap of 20cm in the hellion vs3 lights which is going to give the centre a bit of punishment. Also looking into putting some co2 grow bags into the tent so the plants can handle the extra light. After 12 hours of increased light there does not appear to be any light stress yet

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.

Plugging along. Nothing but kelp and water.

Tomorrow will be day 1 of week 8. I think these two will take 9 or 10 to finish up. I haven't checked the trics yet but all the white hairs tell me the probably have a few weeks to go.

Rolling through week 4 of flowering for the first rhino Ryder and white Russian things are starting to look good ! Rhino Ryder 2 coming to and end of week 2 of flowering not to far behind the other two glad all plants are pulling through strong !! Same ratio with nutrients temps between 72 and 77 and humidty between 30 to 50% Smell is pretty strong would say 6.5 outta ten ! Water every 3 days 2 gals a week pretty much using Poland spring natural water for now. Check out the rest on my Instagram bakeryguy420 doing my first give away for seeds and glass spoon Some updates photos towards the end of the week and some videos!!
