Jetzt beginnt die Ernte langsam ihren Schatten vorauszuwerfen. Jede Woche zeigt diese Apricot Auto ein neues Gesicht. Was vor wenigen Wochen noch wie eine sauber trainierte Outdoor-Pflanze aussah, entwickelt sich nun immer mehr zu einer beeindruckenden Sammlung harziger Colas. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen macht sich jetzt richtig bezahlt. Die offene Pflanzenstruktur sorgt dafür, dass nahezu jeder Haupttrieb ausreichend Licht erhält und sich gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt einer dominanten Hauptblüte stehen inzwischen zahlreiche kräftige Colas im Mittelpunkt, die Woche für Woche an Größe und Dichte gewinnen. Besonders schön zu beobachten ist die Entwicklung der Blüten. Die Kelche beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen, viele der ersten Blütenstempel färben sich bereits orange, während an den Spitzen weiterhin frische weiße Pistillen entstehen. Genau diese Mischung zeigt, dass die Pflanze noch einmal ordentlich Energie in den Endspurt investiert. Auch die Harzproduktion legt deutlich zu. Inzwischen sind nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die Sugar Leaves von einer dicken Trichomschicht überzogen. Je näher man herangeht, desto deutlicher wird, wie frostig die Blüten mittlerweile aussehen. Die großen Fächerblätter verlieren langsam etwas Farbe – ein typisches Bild einer Pflanze, die ihre gespeicherten Reserven zunehmend in die Blütenbildung steckt. Insgesamt wirkt sie jedoch weiterhin vital, stabil und ausgesprochen gesund. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Blüten dichter, schwerer und aromatischer. Wenn das Wetter weiterhin mitspielt, dürfte in den kommenden Tagen noch einmal ein ordentlicher Gewichtszuwachs bevorstehen. Ich freue mich schon darauf zu sehen, wie sich diese Apricot Auto auf den letzten Metern noch einmal entwickelt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The finish line is finally coming into sight. Every week this Apricot Auto reveals a new side of herself. What started as a carefully trained outdoor plant has now transformed into a beautiful canopy full of resin-covered colas. The training from the previous weeks is now paying off perfectly. The open structure allows almost every top to receive excellent sunlight, resulting in an even canopy where multiple main colas continue to develop together instead of a single dominant top. The flowers have clearly entered their swelling phase. The calyxes are becoming thicker, many of the early pistils have already turned orange, while fresh white hairs continue to emerge on the upper buds. This combination is always a great sign that the plant is still pushing hard toward the finish. Resin production has increased noticeably once again. The buds are becoming increasingly frosty, and even the sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes. Up close, the flowers are beginning to develop that sticky, icy appearance every grower hopes to see. Some of the larger fan leaves are gradually fading as the plant redirects its stored nutrients into flower production. This is a completely natural part of late flowering, while the overall plant still looks healthy, vigorous and well-balanced. Now comes the most exciting stage of the entire grow. Every passing day adds a little more weight, a little more density and another layer of resin. If the weather stays cooperative, the final weeks should reward all the patience invested since day one. I can't wait to see how this Apricot Auto finishes her journey.

A lot of stretch during week 2, buds also beginning to develop, still very little to no smell. Plant hasn’t shown any signs of stress and is up taking normally. Will defoliate to allow for more light penetration at the end of the week.

Su una Alberta iniziano a cadere le foglie, forse sto tardando troppo per i 10 giorni di Ripen… Crescono benissimo, tutto sembra semplice.

D64. A new week starts, and the stretch continues. Sigh. The first girl stopped at 80 cm, while the second is over 130 cm and still stretching. If she doesn't stop soon, I'll be in real trouble. Quite frustrating since it will affect both yield and quality. I added a few sachets with predatory Cucumeris mites to the girls. There are no problems, and I haven't scouted any bugs, but since I had thrips in the tent in the previous grow, I want to be proactive in case some bugs survived. I gave the second girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with bokashi and fermented fruit juice. ------------------------------ D67. The second girl stretched even more to a point where one of the tops touched a light. To combat this problem, I removed the first girl and put her in my small drying tent since my LSD-25 was just done drying. It's a wee bit tight, and I had to add some side-lighting to get enough photons to her, but it should work out. The yield will take a hit, but I suspect the second girl will more than make up for it. I moved the second girl into the middle of the tent and thus could bend the tops outward, creating more space to the light. I also removed additional foliage in her lower canopy. The second girl is massive, by far the largest auto I've grown, and she drinks a lot and requires daily watering. Considering her size, I am concerned that she will run out of nutrients, so I need to devise a strategy for keeping her fed. Topdressing will be tricky as the pot is already quite full, but I will add as much as possible and then feed compost teas often. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the sixth week of flower, and the second girl is still stretching. She has slowed down, but one of the tops I already had bent hit the light, so I had to bend it even more. I top-dressed the second girl today to give her a boost, considering her size. I used kelp powder, rock dust, neem meal, calcified seaweed, and worm castings. She then got 2 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with fulvic and humic acid. ------------------------------

I have applied some LST techniques learned in various online sources. I trust she will handle it well.

Overall this was a good second grow. The initial defoliation was key in getting the nice density I missed out on last time. These plants went through the bloom cycle using a reservoir (5 gallon bucket) and drip irrigation system exclusively. Once I got the correct timing done for the watering, this setup was really great; I was able to go about 1-2 weeks between water refills, so it was easy leave for a couple of short stints with no negative effects on the plants. The one major thing I'd like to work on for next time is the drying process. I'm not sure if I cut the branches too small, if the room was just too dry, or if I just let them go too long (I had to leave for 9 days, and they were drying the whole time). While the curing has helped them get a little moisture back, the actual drying left the buds pretty crispy.

10-31 : Starting week 3 with reservoir cleanup, nutrient solution is about 440 ppm & 5.8 ph. Very good root growth on the left girl, going to top her tomorrow, everyting going well so far. 11-01 : Topped the girl on the left, girl on the right seems fine.

🗓️ Les Chroniques de l'Oasis : Marque Blanche – 12 mars 2026 📊 État de la Culture ​Âge : J+22 (3ème semaine) Croissance : 14 cm 🏜️ État de l'Oasis ​Climat : Jour 24°C / Nuit 21°C (La douceur d'une brise marocaine). ​Humidité : 60% (Le souffle protecteur de la vallée). ​Énergie : Intensité 50% (Lampe actionnée à 90 cm pour guider sa nouvelle forme). Vigueur : Structure robuste, prête à déployer ses branches autrefois cachées. ​ L'Élixir de Vie (Nutrition Sacrée) ​Pour soutenir la Sultane dans cette métamorphose, je lui ai offert un élixir puissant : ​Hydratation : 1 Litre d'eau pure (Ajustée à un pH de 6,3). ​Rituel : Un mélange de 5ml d'Orgatrex . 1 comprimé de fertilisant Biotabs. délicatement enfoncé dans la terre à 5 cm environ ​Le but : Diffuseur une force vitale constante au cœur de la terre, nourrissant ses racines pour qu'elle puisse s'élancer vers les étoiles. 🖋️ L'Appel des Étoiles : Premier LST ​C'est un départ vers l'inconnu. Tandis que je courbe sa tige avec la précision d'un artisan nomade, elle semble fixer cette marque blanche qui scintille au-dessus d'elle, telle une étoile suspendue au zénith d'une oasis nocturne. Elle s'incline pour mieux se déployer, cherchant à rejoindre les astres par des chemins détournés, transformant sa fragilité de jeune pousse en une force nouvelle. ​Et moi, tel un voyageur solitaire dans les sables du Maroc, je marche vers un horizon dont j'ignore tout. Je me laisse aveugler par cette lumière lointaine, cette promesse incandescente qui brille au bout du chemin. Mes mains agissent, mais mon esprit s'évade dans cette clarté qui nous appelle. Nous progressons ensemble : elle, guidée par son instinct vers la cime des étoiles, et moi, avançant sans boussole vers cette lueur qui, seule, sait où nous allons vraiment. ​Note de culture : À ce stade de 3 semaines, le tronc est encore souple mais robuste. Le palissage aujourd'hui va forcer la plante à distribuer l'énergie aux branches secondaires, créant ainsi une structure beaucoup plus dense et équilibrée pour la suite. Aucune carence visible. J'ai coupé les deux feuilles simples de tout en bas et une feuille à 3 ( elles touchaient le sol . Pour éviter les risques de moisissures. ) Le feuillage est sain sans carence ou brulure. superbe plante pour le moment . Saviez-vous que… Anecdotes du Rif Dans les montagnes du Rif au Maroc, la récolte du cannabis était souvent un moment collectif. Les familles se réunissaient pour tamiser les plantes séchées afin d'en extraire la résine qui deviendra le haschisch. Pendant ces journées, les anciens fumaient parfois le kif dans une longue pipe traditionnelle appelée sebsi, pendant que le thé à la menthe circulait et que chacun racontait des histoires. Pour beaucoup de villages rifains, la récolte était autant un travail qu'un moment de partage et de tradition. 🌿. à bientôt et merci du fond du coeur à tous pour vos commentaires et likes .

Both were growing like absolute champs! I decided to top really early. i follow basementganjas rules, i will only top autos if they grow like champs, trunksize 3mm, 99% healthy, sidenodes have substantial grow, and are between days 12-16. i topped these on day 12, mainly because at the rate they were growing, i feared they were to put too much time and energy into the top nodes i planned on removing. Also, it would be interesting to see how they handled it. AND BOY, handled it, they did! The 600 ml Dosage of water and nutes from Day 6 lasted all the way to Day 11. On Day 11, i added 1 ml/L of Bio Grow from Biobizz and watered both of them with 1 Liter of tapwater, ph'd down to between 6,2 - 6.3. As mentioned, even though the sidenodes were a tad small for my likings, they did not seem to care. see next week for the further progress!

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

02.06. the previous week I took to cutting back everything except 8-10 branches per plant. Each arm remains with sprouts at the top only (like lollipoping but with the leaves still on). I contemplated for a while before doing this an compared with last year's growth. Definitely want less little stuff in the lower region and a cleaner structure overall. TMV on the Quick Sherbet leaves looks contained. White clover growing along well, gave 1g / L of greenhouse feeding bio enhancer. This week is mostly cloudy and rainy so expect slower growth but good progress.

Pink Mist is looking good, has stopped growing as much, and is starting to get into proper flower. I have much else to say, however it seems I'm unable to, due to grow diaries cutting off all my comments, so I decided to save myself much time, and sadly just not say it! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

The Pineapple 🍍 Express definitely takes a lot of work with defoliation,,that’s if your training her I guess,,,🤔anyways keeping her well fed,,with the castings,,and some extra liquid potash to satisfy her hunger,,,,I think she might go to 90 days,,,,

This strain was everything the breeders promised. All the buds were purple and some fan leaves turned pink. She isn’t really dripping in resin but I still needed gloves during trim.
