Google doc for nute schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HtHnZOxMHtBK5DFQjpBun2lbhDxYVhI7lJaq4W6xbyk/edit?usp=sharing (Choose Sweet Seeds at the Bottom) Week 2 of Veg - Week 2 Total EC Target: 1100-1400 pH: 6.0 - 6.46 Sensi Grow A - 8ml Sensi Grow B - 8ml B-52 - 8ml Voodoo Juice - 8ml Rapid Start - 1ml Great White Myco - 1tsp This grow is just beginning and still going very well. Sweet Seeds genetics are crazy. Like... fuckin' amazing. I had a 3.5inch root starting on my Red Poison. This grow is going to be great! Advanced has a tendency to give VERY high EC levels if you follow their guideline. I use what they recommend and then I tone it down to the EC levels I want. Just a heads up if you are using Advanced and not checking - you are WASTING nutes.

This is exactly the 🇲🇦 morroccan 🇲🇦 way of sifting resin from kief. Traditionally, apart the hand rubbing method, dry sifting through a mesh is the most used way to obtain resin, from 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 🇦🇫 or 🇳🇵Nepalese 🇳🇵 Mountains to 🇲🇦 Morocc 🇲🇦 Rif passing through Bekaa valley in 🇱🇧Lebanon 🇱🇧. The average size of meshes used vary from 90 to 180 microns and are mostly made by silk and for this reason uneven. I think the most productive ways to sift are Dry Ice and  rotating pollinator + CO2, I've tried a DIY pollinator built by a friend and it can reach up to 20/25% of resin extracted at 120 microns and 15% at 90 microns. But smell and taste don't reach that traditionally extracted but this is another story. Morroccan way is good compromise between a stashbox or more evolute methods. It requires less than 10 dollar of expenses. You need: a basin or pot  without handles a heavy-duty plastic bag that contains the basin a pair of chopsticks a good 120 microns net an elastic band tape Kif or trim q.s. Here is the link where I buy my meshes. Very high quality, customable size and material (steel or nylon) and length and very kind vendor on AliExpress https://a.aliexpress.com/_uwfQzq Drum for 3 minutes. .....perhaps you will find that you have an innate talent as a drummer, throw the shit away and put your head right......

Easy going week. nothing much to report. The EC pen I got is acting weird already. sometimes I'll put it in the feeding liquid and it will display 400ppm something. Then if I move it about or drip it in and out it will jump up to 700ppm something. I doing it over and over till I get a base line and go from that. this weeks EC was aorund 680ppm but the video does not show the other dips I did. PH still kicking aorund 5.9. I find it more annoying to adjust just the waters PH for these plants on the balcony where everything else is "as is" Will try this again indoors in a peat and perlite medium void of any other additives when It can have more of my undivided attention. maybe on the other seeds I got from FB via a friend in the mail. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend. stupid rule on contest must have videos every week,

11.05.24 So wie es aussieht, hat keine Thripse überlebt, die Behandlung mit BAC Vital hat geholfen, die Luftfeuchtigkeit konnte ich ein wenig höher halten, indem ich mehrmals am Tag Wasser versprühte. heute wurden die Damen in ihre 2 Liter Töpfe gepflanzt, dort können sie jetzt wachsen bis es in die 30 Liter Töpfe geht. es gab einen kräftigen schluck wasser mit Terra Aquatica Root Booster, Terra Aquatica Seaweed und Glückspilze Mykorrhiza Soluble. 12.05.24 Pflanzen haben das Umtopfen bisher super überstanden, sie zeigen keinerlei Stressreaktion, die Blätter stehen super gegen die Sonne. 13.05.24 Die Kleinen zeigen schon wieder ein starkes Wachstum, daher wurden sie heute mit der Pinzette getoppt, ich denke mal, dass sie nun die nächsten drei Tage den Stress abbauen und dann die unteren Triebe anfangen, nach oben zu wachsen. Da wir eine Fläche von 120x120 mit einem geschlossenen Kronendach bekommen wollen, ist es wichtig, dass die Kleinen frühzeitig in die Breite wachsen. 16.05.24 Pflanzen zeigen generell ein gutes Wachstum, trotz nicht passender Umgebung, die Temperatur und die Luftfeuchtigkeit sind zu hoch, an Besserung wird gearbeitet, aber die aktuellen Außentemperaturen machen es nicht leichter. Phänotyp 1 zeigt ein merkwürdiges Kräusel Wachstum, wächst aber trotzdem normal in Höhe und Breite, Phänotyp 2 zeigt sehr komische braune Flecken an den unteren großen Blättern, es scheint fast zu verbrennen und nekrose zu werden, ein Nährstoffmangel schließe ich aus da es allen anderen Pflanzen gut geht. Phänotyp 3 entwickelt sich bis jetzt vollkommen zu meiner Zufriedenheit.

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.

HAZIRLIK Dolabı yapmak bir aydan fazla ileri sürdü; aydınlatma, havalandırması, iç kaplaması, montajı, elektrik kabloları, fişleri, soketleri, prizleri vb. Tüm bunların ardından, sonunda bitirmem ve kotiledonların görünenlerin görünmediğini gördüm. Burada yaşadığım mücadeleyi okuduğunuzda, heyecanımı ve mutluluğumu paylaştığınızı düşünüyorum… =) //LED'LER// Torch LED'leri kullanıyorum ve bu LED'ler fiziksel olarak oldukça büyük olduğu için, dolapta ciddi miktarda dikey alan kaplıyorlar. Toplam 70 cm'lik aralıklardan 50 cm'ye düşüyorlardı ve toprak birleştirmeyle yaklaşık 40 cm'ye düştü, bu da başlangıç ​​büyümesi için neredeyse hiç yer bırakmadı. Bunu çözmek için Torch LED'lerini plastik yuvalarından çıkardım ve bunları ayrı ayrı boyutlandırılmış ahşap plakaya düz bir şekilde monte ettim. Bunu yaparak yaklaşık 15 cm'lik alandan tasarruf sağladınız. Ancak dolap yapısı ve Torch LED'lerinin kendisi nedeniyle ciddi ısınma sorunlarının belirtileri. //KABİN// LED'leri açtığımda, 26,5°C'lik iç havayı alıp 37–38°C'de dışarıya atıyorlardı. Her lamba bana yaklaşık +4°C'lik bir ısı artışı sağlıyordu. Durum böyle dönemde fan kapsamını artırdım; bu sıcaklıkta yardımcı oldu, ancak daha sonra içerideki nem 35–30'a, hatta %25'e düştü. Ne yeteneğimi düşünürken, 12V çift taraflı bir Peltier modül kullanmayı planladım: soğuklukta bakır borular sararak bunu fan destekli bir sıcaklığa dönüştürdüm. Aslında işe yarayabilirdi, ancak sıcak ortamdan ısıyı uzaklaştırmak için ihtiyacım olan sistem çok hantal hale geldi. O yerde, "Büyüme hayali bitti" dedim ve vazgeçtim. Birkaç gün sonra "Neden olmasın?" diye düşündüm ve dolabı balkona taşımaya karar verdim. Sonuçta, gizliydi - kimse içinde ne olduğunu bilmeyecekti - ve balkon uydu yoluyla mükemmeldi. Dolap balkonunda olacağından, iç kısım ısıdan, yağmurdan, bölgelerden ve diğer zararlılardan tamamen yalıtılması gerekiyordu. Tüm delikleri ve ortamları sıcak silikonla kapatırım. Daha sonra ısıl işlem köpüğü yerleştirdim ve her şeyi bölme filmle kapladım. Tüm bunları yaparken termostat, ısıtıcı, nemlendirme ve vantilatör için hiçbir şey görünmemesi için tüm kablo bağlantılarını da gizledim. LED aydınlatma için tek tek veya hepsi birlikte kontrol edilebilen ayrı lamba yuvaları ekledim. Ayrıca dolap kapağı açıldığında tüm ana LED'lerin otomatik olarak söndüğü ve yalnızca küçük bir 5W LED'in açık kaldığı bir sistemim oluştu. Vantilatörü dolabın sağ üst arka köşesine monte ederek egzozu diğer noktalara yönlendirdim. Vantilatörün gücünde, negatif basınç o kadar güçlüydü ki hava yalnızca girişten katılıyordu - başka hiçbir yerde 0,001 m³ bile hava kaçağı yoktu. (Bunu hava verileri için değil, zararlıları uzak tutmak için yaptım.) //SICAKLIK VE NEM// Dolabı balkona taşındıktan sonra bu sefer ciddi bir soğukluk sorunuyla karşılaştım. Geceleri sıcaklık 8-9°C'ye düşüyor, gündüzleri ise 24-27°C'ye kadar çıkıyor. Elektrikli fanlı ısıtıcılar kullanmak istemedim çünkü havayı çok kurutuyorlar ve tehlikeliler. Peltier fikrinden ilham alarak tekrar düşünürken çözümümü bir PTC ısıtıcı kullanarak buldum. Hava bağlantıları olan iki alüminyum bloktan oluşan bir PTC ısıtma elemanı yerleştirdim ve gelen tüm havayı bu kanallardan mülkler. Sistemi 24,5°C'de açılıp 24,6°C'de kapanacak şekilde ayarladım. Bu şekilde sıcaklık sadece 1,5° tolerans içinde -24,5 ile 26,5°C arasında dalgalandı ve LED sayıları azaldıkça daha stabil hale geldi. PTC'yi termostata bağlayarak ısıtma sistemini tamamladım. Gündüz sıcaklık sorunlarının çözülmesi için, elektrikler 11:45'te kapanıp 17:45'te tekrar açılacak şekilde programladım; böylece 6 saatlik bir kesinti süresini elde ettim. Bu süre boyunca kabin yaklaşık 24°C'lik dış havayı çekiyor, maksimum 27°C'ye ulaşıyor ve ardından tekrar soğumaya başlıyor; tam da bu noktada PTC devreye giriyor. Böylece daha önceki büyük yangının sorunu tamamen çözülmüş olmuştu. Ayrıca nemlendirmeyi termostata bağlayıp %70'e ayarlayarak nem sorunu da çözülürm. Tüm bu süreci 1,5 ayımı aldı ama değdi. 1-2-3. güne kadar tek led 3. günde 10. güne kadar 3 ledide açtım ama bitkide büyüme problemi olduğunu gördüğüm için ışıkları söndürüp tek ışık 40cmden devam ettim.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Plants still looking good from last week, the yellowing has seemed to stop spreading, still some dull green in some leaves, I think I was under feeding them, but runoff says otherwise. Noticed some more pink/purple stems on the plants and decided to increase the phosphorus content in the feed by mixing in half grow and half bloom from the nutrient lineup. I'd use the PK booster I have but its to high in K for my liking. The entire lineup is very high in K. mixing grow and bloom gives a NPK ratio of 7-7-14 then done 1:1 equal parts. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 Run off was a bit high for my liking but only seeing minimal signs of nutrient burn. Still watering once with feed and runoff and then later in the week with water and no/little runoff for my watering cycle.The number in the nutrient section are wrong but the EC and ratio are correct. Also impressed the roots have started popping out the bottom of the container already after only being transplanted for a week. Good root growth on these ones. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% .

The zkittlez is maturing faster than the sour grape kush by a pretty significant amount I don't imagine it'll mean I'll have to harvest at different times just its pretty noticeable ones farther along than the other with the sugar leaf production and bud size etc. Still working on solving the heat problem for when the lights are on so I don't have to leave the tent door open all day. I guess I can put a small AC in the room and hook it up to the intake but I don't really want to.

👉The plant is looking vibrant and seems to continue to flourish, albeit seemingly taking its sweet time. Seems like its in slow motion compared to its veg cycle. To see changes you have to look close or compare pix from a couple days apart. The flowers are getting more aromatic, and has the typical wonderfully sweet lemony stank think going on. Super frostiness as can be seen in the pix. The trichomes are totally illuminated by the lights used by my camera (flash and an LED worklight). May rival the gorilla glue for frosty overload. No new nutrient issues have shown up. The burned tips remain and I hope my good fortune continues. It developed a lot of smaller branches and will have lots of pop-corn buds. Shouldn’t be too much of a big deal and will add to the hash production in the end. 👉My time has been slightly curtailed due to work demands and I hadn’t been able to mule any water home until today. In the absence of the 98% pure water I get from a medical facility, Ive been using tap water run thru a 1cf carbon tank. The tank dechlorinates the water, I use it for my outdoor patio garden of herbs, peppers and single tomato plant. The pure water was 4micro siemens conductivity, the carbon tank water is 45micro siemens (tap is 245). The carbon tank water is far less reactive. This is evident when adjusting the pH. A batch made with the RO water needs just a few drops of pH down to reach desired pH. A batch made with the Carbon tank water takes a couple droppers full. Ive also noticed that the plant may not be able to absorb as much of the nutrients with the carbon tank water. This may be pure anecdotal stoner’s observation, but the EC of the run off has been almost impossible to get down to matching inflow. Its staying 20+ and shoots right up to 30+ each day. I started just giving double volume feed water and no low EC solution. Partly because I broke one of the jugs which I used for mixed solution batches. The high EC run-off may also be a result of the dried nutrients on the side of the pot being washed away more due to the higher volume of inflow. So I may be chasing my tail on this by giving full strength nutrients at double the volume with double run-off. Good thing is that you cant over water in coco unless you try really, really hard. 2 fertigations in one day isn’t even close. The plant is drinking more each day as measurement of the run-off compared to inflow shows the saturation volume. I fertigate in two steps when doing high volume, divide total volume in half and feed half and then measure the runoff. I then feed the second half and again measure the run-off. The difference between the inflow and run-off is the amount taken in by plant and lost to evaporation. I split the total in half to get a more accurate measurement of saturation level and plant intake/evaporation level. I then use that information to help predict how much solution should be given at the next fertigation event. This coming week I will be switching to the late bloom solution mix recipe for the GHE drain to waste chart. I mix it to the upper level strength for desired EC. The difference is slight. It removes rapid start from the mix, and reduces others slightly, except for bloom and micro. I should be able to return to the RO water for the rest of the grow. 👉I haven’t taken an actual measure of the height this week, but at tonight’s fertigation I measured the tips of the center colas were 15” from the light, so I will raise them in the morning back to 18”. The plant could probably take being fairly close to the lights, but I don’t think its nessessary to risk light stress if I don’t have to. There is still 6 more inches of verticle room to raise the lights. If the 99 decides to just keep going slow and steady, packing on bud-age, I can also spread the lights outward and angle the lights to give the two top colas more space.

At the start of the week I fimmed a few high blooms to slow growth. Humidity kept climbing untill I added a carbon filter 4inch on a inline fan as an exhaust, added a 2nd fan to circulate more. Checked pH around 4 times a day due to.such a small tank. At the end of this week I defoliated and also took around 40 cuttings which I will post separate to this dairy, they will be in a DWC setup.

Good plant overall, wish it was a bigger plant because bud structure is very nice Had a little bit of spider mites but took care of it quickly, overall handled the heat very well and this one had no bud rot Will run this stain again since I have some more seeds, hoping for a bigger phenotype next time :)
