topping and defoliation week

📅 Week 14 | Days 99–105 📅 🍏🍌 Late Flowering Stage – Apples & Bananas 🍏🍌 Day 105 🌞 – Apples & Bananas (Final Curtain Call) 🔸 Visuals: Apples & Bananas is closing the show with pure elegance. The buds are thick, dense, and solid as stones – the kind that make your trimming scissors sigh in advance. Each cola is stacked beautifully from top to bottom, wearing a frosty coat of trichomes that sparkle like morning frost on autumn fruit. The pistils have curled in and taken on a rich amber-orange, giving her a warm, ripe glow. Resin production is full throttle, and the sugar leaves are sticky enough to glue your gloves together. 🔸 Climate: The temperature couldn't be worse...towards the end, of course, it will be almost 30 degrees for the next few days. Humidity is steady between 50–58%, just right to keep those chunky buds safe from mold. VPD stays at 1.4 – 1.6, encouraging a stress-free final swell. 🔸 Nutrients & Water: She’s had her last nutrient boost, and is now on a clean water flush (pH-adjusted, EC ~0.5). Water uptake has slowed, letting her pull the final goodness from her leaves into those already weighty flowers. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 28°C 🌡️🌜 = 21°C 💨 VPD = 1.4 💨 RH = 55% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 2 × Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 18 L pot 🌱 Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Advanced Nutrients 💧 Tap water (EC 0.5)

📅 D36 - 19/09 📜 I start a Flowering week, even if Lucy is actually in pre flowering stage. Adjusted SCroG and added 1,5 L of water. She drinks a lot, more than 2,5 L per day. Tomorrow I will receive an affordable EC meter and I will change the res. ✍️ 1,3 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 20 cm 📅 D37 - 20/09 📜 Today I made a big defolation and adjusted LST and SCroG. A new res with higher EC (1,8) and pH 5,7. I put 12 L. to satisfy Lucy's thirst. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 5,6 pH 🌊 12 L 📏 25 cm 📅 D38 - 21/09 📜 Nothing to report today. Lucy seems ok and she's growing fast. No signal of any problem on the leaves, even if the EC is almost 2. Tomorrow I will give her some more water. ✍️ 1,9 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 31 cm 📅 D39 - 22/09 📜 pH and EC both falling down, so I decide to add 2 L. of pure water. I also put under the SCroG net some buds. ✍️ 1,9 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 36 cm 📅 D40 - 23/09 📜 Lucy grown over the SCroG net and she started the flowering stage. According to the data sheet, from now to the harvest it should take about 7-8 weeks. Today I added 2 L. of pure water in order to lower the EC and raise the pH. I will keep this res until the new week and then I will change it, increasing Flora Bloom and lowering Flora Grow. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 40 cm 📅 D41 - 24/09 📜 Nothing to report today ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 44 cm 📅 D42 - 25/09 📜 Lucy is flowering, so I will change tomorrow the res. I'm not sure about the EC level, I will see browsing around my favorites diaries. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 48 cm

Ok so I'm really impressed with this autoflower. It's a monster in my opinion. I really pushed it hard for a day or two during a heat wave. Temps were 88F, I gave it a Full dose of PK booster ( LiquidKool Bloom ) and some Raw Citrus. Plant suck the bucket DOWN FAST. I thought alright its liking it. It did but it also burned it pretty badly. So I watered it down and got a cal-mag deficiency lol. Then during the heat wave I was being to brave and left to work for 12 hours with high temperatures and the plant tops at about 2 and a half feet when its recommended 3 feet. Totally my fault. But man oh man, she took all of it pretty well in my opinion. She's a little burnt but the FROST on the buds are insane outside the tent lights. It hasn't even had 1 night of sleep its entire life. 8/15 Checked ppm and pH, felt brave and added full dose PK. 8/16 Checked ppm and pH, pH remained steady at 5.9, ppm climbed to 1200. I let it run. 8/17 Checked ppm and pH, pH remained steady at 5.9, ppm climbed to 1400 and the bucket was empty. I knew I'd see burned tips soon. Added plain pH water, dropped to 800ppm. Left it to drink water. 8/18 Checked ppm and pH, tips showing burn but its definitely swelling, was it worth it? So far I'm thinking yes. Definitely yes. Ppm 950, pH 6.0 8/19 Checked ppm and pH, ppm at 1100, pH at 6.2 I watered it down with plain pH water to 700. I was feeling brave again, added more sweetener and PK booster. Ppm at 900. ( I made a mistake over the last 2 days and forgot to add cal-mag) 8/20 Checked ppm and pH, ppm went down to 800, pH at 6.2. Made no adjustments just added Cal-mag. I already had a slight deficiency going but not adding ANY to a plant that drinks 2 gallons a day was a huge mistake. It got a lot of brown patches and yellow but not everywhere. I also realized it was to close to the CMH. Plus a heat wave sent my temp to 88F while I was at work, not sure how long. I think I got a little bit of foxtail going on the very top tips. Adjusted temperature and raised light as high as I could. 8/21 Checked ppm and pH. This plant just eats and drinks to much. None of my other plants come close to this one. I have to check it everyday. My others can go up to 3 days untouched. This monster is impressive. I would reccomend this autoflower to anyone, but it says it's an intermediate grow level. It's been super easy for me. Really hope this monster finishes soon. All trichromes are clear. Still got awhile to go. 8/22 Checked ppm and pH 8/23 Checked ppm and pH 8/24 Checked ppm and pH 8/25 Checked ppm and pH 8/26 Checked ppm and pH 8/27 Checked ppm and pH

The first week of flowering is here, and things are finally looking much better! Both plants have recovered well and are now growing much healthier.🌱 #1 has already started stretching significantly, really picking up speed. It’s exciting to see how quickly it’s developing! Meanwhile. #2 spent about half the week still in vegetation, but towards the end, I finally spotted the first signs of flowering. Now that both are officially in bloom, I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop over the next weeks. On to the next phase! 😊

31/03 Belle pousse.🙂

Update : 09.06 Da das Wetter hier im Norden nicht so mit spielt, machen sie langsam Fortschritte. Wir machen das beste Draus ✌️

Полёт отлчиный. Пошла вторая неделя. Растение себя чувствует комфортно. Развиввается хорошо

Did a medium defoliation in the middle of week 4 prob around day 25. Everything is going smooth and I will most likely add another layer of trellis once they start packing on more weight.

Start of week 4 for Kalini Asia Shes not doing too badly, not much too report on her.

The fruits become heavier and begin to ripen. The night temperature was set to 20° C The humidity was set to 50%

Huge growth this week with this girl. Just feeding with water still, but she's chugging along. 2 weeks above ground as of this update (2.5 weeks from seed). I'll be starting my next seed this week, decided to go with Diesel Auto from Royal Queen Seeds as the next up. Look for that journal next week.

This was quite the grow y'all. The blumat soaker hose was a great addition... once I figured out why it kept getting stopped up. I can't wait to get another living soil grow going cause that was a lot of fun!

This week was real great today is day 103 an these girls are all drying out for 12- 14 days ! Then will be ready for trim and cure! Keep your eyes peeled for next week , will have more photos when we get to trimming! Cheers everybody Happy grows🤙

Giorno 70 Tutte le piante sono state raccolte e tra un mese aggiornerò il diario con le foto delle cime essicate. Sono molto contento perché certi odori mi hanno colpito e non vedo l'ora di sentirli in fumata. Grazie a chi ha commentato e ha lasciato un like. Un altro giro è appena iniziato. Ci vediamo di là 💪🖐️❤️

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 It's my first harvest on this community and I'm loving it. Everyone always ready to help each other and have great feedback. Tracking my grow on here has made it way easier. There were times that I misplaced notes or forgot what I did or when with a certain strain and all I had to do was come on here and check it. Also motivated me take more pictures and do more logs. All out great site. Don't know how I haven't found it earlier. HIGHLY recommend for all growers. The grow cycle went pretty smooth. She's easy to grow and flowers early so you can't do much training. That being said it's great for beginners. 👌 Had no problems with pests on these, while on the other plants (none cannabis) in the balcony I had issues with spider mites. They grew better than expected given the few hours of direct sunlight they received. Results were good, I was expecting 10-15 grams per plant and ended up with a tad bit more. Drying went a bit fast because there were few buds. I probably could have took it down a few degrees as well.. my fault on that part. They dried in 4 days, they've been curing for 10 days. I normally test them after 15 days but they smelled so good I had to try them. Smell: Lovely earthy, woody, slightly like diesel. Quite pungent for being autos. Taste: Just as it smells.. leaving a nice after taste of diesel. Touch: Very sticky, dense buds. They break down finely in the grinder. Cleaned the grinder before testing and after 4 joints ( 2 grams or so) I already have a good amount of kief collected in the bottom. (Check photo) Might grow this one again just to make some bubble hash. The high is awesome nice uplifting, long lasting energetic but without a heavy euphoric rush. Reminds me of a smooth haze high, although if you smoke a lot even being an experienced smoker, she'll get to you. Only down side is dry mouth, very dry mouth! Have some water on hand because your mouth will transform into a desert. 😂 Great strain to kick start the day. Beginner smokers take it easy with this one. She hits hard! 👊
