I defoliated the plants one more time on day 32 of flower. Both plants received 10 ml of BioPK 5-8. The buds of the Serious Kush already have a real dense look. The flowers of the Mango Lassi don't look as dense yet. The smells are sligthly getting stronger.

ABxRKO is about 42.5" tall, and has been top dressed with about 3tsp of grow dots to give it a phosphorus boost in flower HBSS is about 26.5" tall and has been top dressed with about 2tsp grow dots as I believe it is fighting a phosphorus deficiency. She is giving all the smells, a bright red starburst like fruity smell with a stark citrus note.

Not much to report this week, strung up the yoyo’s on D60, stretch seems like it’s almost over, some of the colas at the back are a couple inches too close but I can’t really get at the back anymore (usual issue with my set up). All bud sites are forming well, time to sit back and watch them bulk up over the next couple weeks 😎

Hallo zusammen 🤙 Habe sie heute geerntet. Wir hören uns in 3 Wochen mit dem Erntebericht.

Put some extra puppy pics of duke there at the end i found. Glad I took like 20 pics a day of him since we got him in February 2020.. Couple cool videos of Dukie.. one of him jumping as a puppy in slow mo. One playing with a ball

Week 6: Flower - Purple Power & Organic Excellence 💜🌸 Currently vibing to: Larry June - Organic (keeping it smooth) 🎵 Week 6 flower is where things start getting REAL. The buds are swelling, the trichomes are stacking, and one of the ladies is putting on a color show that's absolutely stunning! All Three Ladies - Thriving on Organic Fire The feeding regimen is dialed in, and these girls are responding beautifully. Consistent nutrition is paying off with healthy, vigorous flower development across the board. Current Feeding Schedule: Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom (consistent feedings) Growganica Incredible Bulk (for density and weight) This organic combo is doing EXACTLY what it's supposed to: Supporting robust bud development Enhancing terpene production Building density without harsh synthetic salts Feeding the soil biology that feeds the plants The slow-release nature of organic amendments means the plants are getting steady, consistent nutrition—no spikes, no crashes, just smooth sailing. Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess! 💜 SHE'S TURNING PURPLE! And not just a little bit—she's really expressing those anthocyanin colors. This is exactly what we want to see! Why the purple? Genetic expression (she had it in her the whole time) Temperature fluctuations between day/night can enhance purple coloration Stress-free environment allowing her genetics to shine Proper nutrition supporting color development Bag Appeal Status: Already looking FIRE. The contrast between purple buds, green leaves, and frosty white trichomes is going to be absolutely stunning come harvest. This is the kind of bud that makes people stop scrolling on Instagram. 📸 The visual quality on this one is going to be exceptional—she's going to photograph like a dream and look premium in the jar. Apple Fritter & Lemon Cherry (Left) - Green Giants While they might not be showing the purple genetics, these two are producing beautiful, classic green flowers with excellent structure and trichome coverage. Current Status: Dense bud formation Healthy green coloration Responding well to the organic feeding program Trichome production ramping up Not every plant needs to be purple to be premium. These girls are going to deliver quality, potency, and terps regardless of color. The Growganica Incredible Bulk Advantage Adding this to the feeding rotation was a smart move. Week 6 is when bulking really kicks into high gear, and the kelp-based nutrients are supporting: Increased bud density and weight Enhanced resin production Micronutrient availability for optimal flower development Natural plant hormones that promote swelling Combined with the Terp Tea Bloom, we're giving these plants everything they need to maximize their genetic potential. Key Observations Color expression is REAL: Lemon Cherry Right is proving that when you give plants the right environment and nutrition, their genetics can fully express. Purple isn't just pretty—it's a sign she's healthy, happy, and doing her thing. Organic feeding consistency matters: No deficiencies, no toxicities, just steady growth. The microbes in the soil are doing their job, breaking down amendments and delivering nutrients on demand. Week 6 is the sweet spot: This is where flower production really accelerates. Each day brings noticeable changes in bud size and density. Bag appeal is already locked in: Even before harvest, you can tell Lemon Cherry Right is going to be a stunner. Sometimes you just know you've got something special growing. Next Week's Plan Continue current feeding schedule - it's working, don't mess with success Monitor purple progression on Lemon Cherry Right (might get even more vibrant!) Support branches if needed - as buds get heavier, stakes/yo-yos might be necessary Watch trichome development - week 7+ is when they really start stacking Maintain optimal environment - keep temps, humidity, and airflow dialed in Take progress photos - especially of that purple beauty for the 'gram 📸 Larry June voice: "Purple flowers, organic power, smooth cultivation every hour..." 🎶 Week 6 flower: Where genetics meet execution, and the results speak for themselves. Let's keep this organic train rolling! 🔥🌿💜 When she starts turning purple in week 6, you know you're doing something right. Bag appeal: SECURED.

Day 28: I got home from 10 days of holidays and these girls had cruised along as if I had been there with them the whole time. They are very happy, especially the middle one. The small one on the right has always been small, is what it is. She could be a stack little shorty. Time will tell. I did a feed today, top dressed according to Gaia Green at 15 ml/ gal of media which should last approx 2 weeks. I also added a bit more 444 just to make sure there’s enough N during this stretch phase. All 3 have pistols showing and are starting to flower. I was unable to train as much as I’d have liked but is what it is. Sometimes the more indica strains I’ve done are negatively effected by topping and excess training. I removed a couple huge fans that were shading too much of the plant. I also am trying a “super cropping” of top fans to get them out of the way but still save them as a nute source if they need. We’ll see how it goes. The Vipar spectra xs2000 is killling it as usual. As I’ve said 50 times it’s super powerful and I’ve had to raise the light above recommended height as I started to see leaf edge curl and light stress. No problem at all tho, better too powerful and raise it than too weak and have loose buds. I did a micro top just to stop excessive apical meristem stretch and leaving all the other lower branches too low for effective light absorption or burn on the top cola. Happy Growing 🌱

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 3: The Ballet of Bend, Blossom, and Root Rhapsody Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green frontier! Week 3 of our Apolo F1's botanical saga has unfurled with a kaleidoscope of growth and a symphony of roots that dance beneath the surface. Join me as we explore the verdant ballet of bending, the flourishing foliage, and the hidden root rhapsody. This week has been a crescendo of controlled chaos, with the delicate art of bending taking center stage. Each branch gracefully sways and contorts, responding to the gentle nudges like a botanical ballerina in an intricate dance. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's performing a choreography of resilience and elegance. And here's the thrilling revelation - roots! Yes, beneath the soil surface, a clandestine world is unfurling. Root tendrils are popping up like eager spectators in the front row, reaching out to absorb the nutrients and anchor our green virtuoso. It's a root rhapsody, a silent applause to the nutrient-rich symphony we've orchestrated. As I continue to guide the botanical ballet, the TDS in the watering regimen maintains a harmonious 390 ppm, providing our plant with a nutrient-rich libretto. The pH, the conductor of this aqueous symphony, remains a steady 6.0, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and a thriving performance. Temperature-wise, our Apolo F1 revels in the cozy embrace of a 26-degree Celsius environment. It's like providing the ideal backstage conditions for our botanical star, ensuring she performs at her peak. Now, let's talk about the behind-the-scenes technique – the bottom feeding spectacle. Water is tossed into the plate, and our green companion sips from this botanical wellspring. It's a refined and controlled drinking session, a sophisticated soirée for our growing virtuoso. And as always, a tip of the hat to Aptus Holland, the maestros of our nutrient symphony. Their meticulous regimen ensures our Apolo F1 gets the VIP treatment from the roots to the tips of her flourishing foliage. As we marvel at the ongoing dance of growth and the flourishing of our green virtuoso, I extend my gratitude to the digital coliseum, Grow Diaries, for being the stage where our horticultural epic unfolds. And to Royal Queen Seeds, whose Apolo F1 has become the star of this green opera. In the next enthralling chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, we'll witness the continued ballet of growth and the root rhapsody beneath the surface. Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be ever bountiful! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Having some issues with get ppm levels down just switch them to 5 gallon buckets and ppm been reading 1800 To 2300 with no nutrients and Just use ocean forest with clay Pellets in the bottom

So, I ran out of Bloom from Athena 🤦🏻‍♂️, it's a pity I didn't throw out those two jerk bushes earlier, so it would have been enough fertilizer until the end of the cycle. I had to switch to Grow 😂 It has 2% nitrogen, I hope it won't affect the bushes too much. Soon I'll cut one, the oldest one, I'll do a little rinsing and put it under the knife. I think the others need a couple more weeks to stand.

Ya solo quedan cinco plantas con vida y muy pronto también estarán listas, iremos viendo como quedan las flores tras ser cosechadas, espero que les guste!! Saludos

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

Lady’s are getting big cal mag and bio bizz grow have been added as the ladies were getting nitrogen deficiency due to no feeding since potting

Weeks are flying by, topped & took off 2 leaves

I am excited to try out this new gorilla cookies from fastbuds. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Buenass, novena semana de los esquejes. Los dos van muy bien, se ven bastante frondosos y les hice su ultima defoliación a los dos hasta el día que empiece ciclo 12/12 que les haré una leve para entrar a florar. Al esqueje del LST le aplique la técnica supercropping a su rama principal, con esto logre bajarla y que este mas cercana a la altura de los demás tallos. La planta reacciono muy bien a este estrés y ya está como si nada. Durante esta semana le haré la primera aplicación de Delta9 que es un estimulante floral, esto lo aplicare vía foliar y a los 10 días se cambiara el ciclo a 12/12. La temperatura esta semana a estado mas helada y la que viene será lo mismo pero por el momento las plantas se ven muy bien. Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!

Tag 77 - Ende der 11. Woche. Das Ende naht. Die Trichome der Pflanze sehen erntebereit aus. Die Trichome sind zum Großteil trüb und die ersten einzelnen färben sich langsam braun. Ich denke das ist ein guter Zeitpunkt für die Ernte. In dieser Woche wurde die Pflanze gespült. Dabei habe ich immer 2ml/l Flawless Finish von advanced nutrients zum normalen Wasser hinzugegeben. Dieser Vorgang wurde 5x wiederholt. Wir beginnen nun mit der 9. Blütenwoche, wobei die Pflanze wie gesagt, die nächsten Tage geerntet wird. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - Flawless Finish Advanced Nutrients

Luego de un par de semanas full trabajo me dediqué a ordenar un poco el jardín, revisar las plantas, reubicar algunas y realizar una respectiva poda de algunas hojas para que llegue luz a todos los brotes. Algunas finalizando la tercera semana de floración, otras en su segunda semana de floración. Está costando mantener los parámetros, ya comenzó la primavera por lo que aumenta la temperatura en mi espacio, pero se está logrando. Se ha aplicado riego de Organic Bloom de B.A.C + Nirvana de Advanced Nutrients a partir de la segunda semana de floración. En dosis bajas para ver cómo andan. Muy fuerte el olor dulce que están dejando todas, luego las revisaré mas detalladamente para especificar un poco los olores de cada plantas. La cantidad de resina es impresionante.
