Everyone is looking great right now! Even the small sativas! All the indicas needed daily low-stress training and some fan leaves to be cut off to expose more light to the bud sites. Really holding on to a lot of potential right now. Hoping for the best!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 5 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with the promise of blooms as she gracefully transitions into the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase. Join me as we continue this botanical saga, witnessing the emergence of blossoms, the transformation into a lush green bush, and the strategic shift from last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The botanical ballet of bending and shaping persists, guiding our Apolo F1 into a beautifully orchestrated dance of controlled chaos. Every leaf and branch is a stroke on the canvas of growth, creating a masterpiece that reflects both elegance and efficiency. The green virtuoso is not just growing; she's evolving into a captivating bush of vitality. As she enters the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase, the first signs of blooms are beginning to grace our Apolo F1. It's like witnessing the unveiling of nature's artistry, as tiny buds emerge, promising a bounty of blossoms in the weeks to come. The anticipation is as exciting as the first notes of a symphony! The bold decision to top our flourishing Apolo F1 is revealing its impact. Multiple colas are forming, creating a lush and bushy canopy. This strategic haircut is paying dividends as our green virtuoso prepares to showcase a rich and complex performance. It's a testament to the power of calculated risks in the art of cultivation. Amidst the botanical crescendo, a shift in the aqueous symphony is underway. This week marks the transition from the last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The nutrient-rich serenade continues, with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 receives the specific nourishment needed for the impending floral spectacle. With each passing day, the moon on harvest day beckons. Our green companion is on the trajectory to a bountiful harvest, and this journey is not just hers; it's a celebration for flowering girls around the world. Each bud, a testament to the collective magic of cultivation. As we marvel at the unfolding blooms and the lush greenery, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for the botanical star of our green opera. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the crescendo of blossoms and the anticipation of the moonlit harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever abundant! 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

I got a new light for these ladies cause it was clear my other lights weren’t doing justice. I went with an affordable option which was a Lumii black 600w HPS light. It made the temp reach 44 degrees luckily I checked on my plant about an hour later and they were looking really sad but they were okay once I moved my tent closer to the window. My temps went down to 33 degrees Celsius which is still to hot PLEASE tell me how I can get This down guys 😭😭😭😭!!! Anyway they were okay before that growing beautifully and very healthy before I got the new light. I can definitely see the different in intensities

Fantastico perfect tree in fatto di odori e colori non si smentisce i fiori stanno ingrossando da dio belli resinosi e duri come la pietra siamo quasi all’arrivo 😍

plants keep impressing me. cannalope is growing some 16 or 17 petals on a leaf after some weird reveg or stress. it flowered early for some reason. might be because of the bennies and the N abundance. after the weird 16 leafed freak is some good looking regular 13 petaled ones. its gonna be legit. maybe I should clone one of the 13 pedals to keep the pheno. the other colas have the regular 7 or 11 petals. the lemon skunk is flowering nice. I have a feeling its going to be some tasty bud. no mutations or anything weird going on with it. she is looking just fine.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) Both of these plants continue to pack on the pistils with no signs of slowing down...I thought surely the shortie would be ready to flush this week, but she's not even close to ready yet.😕 It rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: I took the shortie out of the closet today to inspect her trichomes. I took about 2-dozen close-ups and zoomed in really close on my PC and couldn't find a single amber anywhere...and prolly only about 30% cloudy at this point.. I went ahead and took some cuttings from her while I had her out. Hopefully I can get at least one to survive and grow outdoors this season. I also took some cuttings from the FFT#6 (the other shortie), and I started a couple of other FFT's (5 & 7) which I'll train out as horizontally as possible to match the shortie's heights. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Very good friends .... we are ready to fill these solid goblets of huge white pistils and this wonderful girl! a greeting to all farmers friends and I hope your crops are vigorous and abundant best regards

2 weeks til harvest

Heute ist der erste Tag der 3ten Woche, ich habe gestern eine zusätzliche Co2 Düse im Veg Zelt montiert und somit erhöht. Die Babys reagieren sehr gut darauf und auch den Ak 49 in der 6 Veg Woche habe ich letzre Woche gecroppt um die höhe etwas einzudämmen unnd habe die mittleren triebe abgerissen um sie etwas zu teilen und um sie besser in das Netz einwachsen zu können. Sie wachsen teilweise 40 - 70cm seitlich weiter unterm Netz. Wieder ein oaar Tage später könnt ihr sehen das sie die Klone schon eingeholt haben.

Things are going real well for Obi#2 her main cola is getting huge and im very excited about that not really much to say other then she's doing great and kicking some ass I'm not running into problems with her or anything so life is going good in the garden for her ! I'd like to thank all my followers for being there and being kick ass and a thank you to everyone who stops in and shows their love! Happy hollidays to all you fine folks ! -Happy Growing!

I dont see where to put the dry weight but it is 578.86 grams. Was a great strain to grow. Was worried at first because they were short but they turn out to be only bud , great weight for their size , thanks everyone

Bravo, I am surprised by the fast buds 420, quality seems Both are 46 days old Gorilla Zkittlez Auto And Gorilla Cookies FF let's see what happens next week 🌲🌱💚🌵🌧️🌦️

**Week 8 - Third Week of Flower** Things are getting wild in the Donutz tent! After the insane stretch last week, the plants have turned the space into a full-on jungle. The start of Week 8 called for drastic measures, and the results are setting the stage for explosive bud production. **Key Updates**: - **Aggressive Defoliation**: On Day 1 of the third flower week, the plants underwent a *brutal* defoliation. Every bud site that had started to develop its own leaves was stripped of its fan leaves, allowing light to flood the canopy. Even the smallest sites now have excellent exposure, giving them the best chance to mature into chunky nugs in the coming weeks. Despite the intensity of the trim, the plants are resilient and primed to bounce back strong. - **Boosted Nutrients**: To support the plants after the stress of defoliation, I added another 5-6g of Greenhouse Feeding Bloom per plant. This ensures the soil stays nutrient-rich and gives the plants the resources they need to recover and thrive. - **Watering**: Still rocking reverse osmosis (RO) water, ensuring clean and efficient hydration without any surprises. **Observations**: - The canopy is significantly cleaner and more open, with light now reaching deeper into the lower sections. - The plants are handling the defoliation well, with no immediate signs of stress or shock. - Bud sites are already looking promising, with visible development and an even distribution across the canopy. **Looking Ahead**: The next few weeks will be all about letting the plants recover and watching the buds stack up. With improved light penetration and a fresh dose of nutrients, everything is lined up for some impressive development. The Donutz are thriving, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high — the tent is set to deliver big!

Every has gone absolutely smooth so far with growing this girl. Full 8 weeks old today & 21 days into flower. She has a fairly strong sweet smell & her buds continue to bulk up. As I just harvested 1 plant , it's created a bit of space for me to put her into the Flowering tent for 12 hrs each day & move her back to veg for the remaining 8 hrs, as I'm running 780watts in the flower tent, hopefully this will bulk them up more. Simple L.S.T. grow grew her out a few nodes & bent her over & tied her down, doing a similar thing with the side branches. Then I've just let her go & do her own thing & haven't done anything other than feed her, haven't really had to do any defoliation as there's not that many leaves on her naturally.

8/5 (Day 49)- The start of a new week! Last few days have been a little rough and I have unfortunately been unable to keep up the post. Dealing with a back injury so it’s been difficult just to keep up with the feedings. We are looking pretty good though and starting to feel a bit better. The last few days I’ve been slowly but surely trying to get a good defoliation in which I feel was needed very badly. Opened up a lot of place for light and airflow. Messing with the back left plant and OMG my hands got sticky quick! I leaned in for a close smell and all I can think of when I smell is candy, a very sweet smelling candy. It shocked me how sweet and yummy the smell was. All conditions for the environment are stable and kept in check. The girls are taking down 4-5 gallons a day now. Will continue to update this week. Thanks! 8/6 (Day 50)- Just monitored and checked in on everything today. Starting to feel better so not too worried about the change out in the morning. Gonna up the light and ppms a bit tomorrow then monitor very close the next few days. I think they should be good. Everything staying in check. 8/7 (Day 51)- Changed res and new fresh food for the ladies. I increased light power a little as well as PPMs. Going to monitor next few days, then when my back is 100% gonna do one last round of defoliation and trimming as well as put up the trellis net. I know it’s a bit late but the two plants on the right may need it. 8/8 (Day 52) - Just have been monitoring and refilling the res today. They are drinking 4-5 gallons a day. I also did a light light defoliation. I will be going through in the next day or so to do a bit more in depth defoliation to open up for more light and air. These girls grow and recover so fast. 8/9 (Day 53)- The two plants on the right are continuing to stretch quite a bit! The left plants seem to be short bushier plants, also im very sure I could have easily dont something to stunt them and not realize, but they seem to be pretty darn healthy. Did some defoliation, I've honestly been plucking leaves here and there everyday and focusing specifically on a plant when I feel it gets too bushy. They bounce back very quickly so that has been my method along with tying some branches down and bending here and there. 8/10 (Day 54) - Wow that back right girl is really growing. She has really been stretching the last two days. Just monitoring and adding to the res every so often. They are continuing to drink 4-5 gallons a day and all conditions stay in check. I did move one fan to get more airflow through the bottom of the canopy. I feel like I have constantly been moving things around this grow, trying to get a feel of what's best for the plants. As always, tips and recommendations appreciated!

Très bonne semaine, aucun problème de chaleur et hygrométrie au top... Orange sherbet : Toujours aucune différence réel entre les engrais utilisé, 2 des 3 spécimens sont d'une taille gigantesque, l'une dépasse les 65 cm et l'autre est quelques peu plus petite de 3 ou 4 cm 👌. Le 3iem plants que j'ai façonné pour être plus court mais plus dense avec de grosses feuilles bien épaisse, c'est très bien comporté et ne subit pas de réelle stresse face aux techniques utilisées pour créer ce type de résultat (plante basse et massive a la limite du bonsaï 💪), bien sûr le test ici est de voir si ce type de culture pour cette variété est rentable ou non 😉. 2 plants taillé et un plant pincé. Le plant pincé a eu une réaction d'activation de pré-floraison, les deux autres n'ont subit aucun stress dû a la taille 👌. Afghani : Je suis plus que satisfait de mon résultat de fin de croissance pour mes 3 plants, il font une taille resonable de 45 cm et devrait donc si tout est ok avoir une progression en fin de floraison a 120 voir 130 cm 👍. Le plant sous Monster Bud' est plus robuste que les 2 autres, mais reste a voir si en floraison il sera aussi abondant, de plus je crains d'avoir un goût plus suave et acide dû au fait que les engrais organiques reste dans le sol et qu'il devient alors impossible de rincer la plante en fin de période 🤔. 2 plants taillé et un plant pincé... Réaction normal avec l'un ou l'autre mais une légère préférence pour le pinçage plutôt que la taille pour des raisons évidentes de structure. Permanent marker : Très belle structure du tronc, feuillage bien épais et plante travaillé pour rester a niveau des autres variétés. Le plant a été taillé car le tronc est bien large et devrait pouvoir supporter ce type de structure sans trop intervenir dans son maintient... A voir ! Je suis bien déçu de ne pas avoir un deuxième sujets pour tester et faire des comparaisons 😡, si cette variété fait ce qu'elle promet je reprendrai des graines mais chez Zamné (je boycotte Blimburn, pour leur incompétence dans ce domaine). Girl scoot cookies : Toujours ce léger retard qui en fait une plante trop basse, j'ai donc tenté une taille abusive a laquelle elle a très bien réagi 😋. J'ai tout de même surélevé sont pot pour la ramener à hauteur des 2 autres plants. Je vois déjà le résultat que cela vas donner en fin de floraison 😁😁😁... Celà me rappelle mes premiers essais il y a 10 ans ! La plante ce porte très bien et a une amplitude massive dû a ces belles feuilles bien verte et très très épaisse 😊. Elle présente un tronc hors norme et bien agencé dans ça structure, j'ai hâte de voir sont évolution 😁. S.plant : J'ai un faible pour cette plante qui n'a rien a faire ici 😍. Elle est magnifique avec des feuilles extrêmement longue et finement taillé en pointe (Sativa ❤️). Je l'ai taillé car étonnamment elle est restée très basse et a bien entendu donné de très belles branches secondaires avec une levé extraordinaire en 3 jours 👍, c'est comme si elle m'écoutais pour me donner le meilleur d'elle-même 🤩. Vous l'aurez compris c'est devenu la chouchoute 😉. Le plant fait pile poil la taille des autres plants mis sous cette lampe, je ne pouvais pas espérer mieux 👌. Bon ça va être sportif en floraison mais on va s'adapter et si elle me pose problème, je rajouterai deux autres lampes en 400W pour ne pas gâcher 😁. Nous voilà donc en fin de croissance, je voulais prendre 1 semaine de plus mais Orange sherbet en a décidé autrement 🤗, je respecte son choix 😁👌. Zoo, 36 heures dans le blackout total 🤣😂 pour activer la floraison via un léger stresse, je taf a l'ancienne sur cette culture Oui Oui 🤣😂. Bien entendu je ne compte pas ces 36 heures dans ma 1ere semaine de floraison, donc nous aurons un décalage pour le prochain post ✌️. D'ici-là bonne culture a tous 😉.

So far so good, we are at the 5 veg week, the hulk berry is shooting up many pre-flowers. The RO water has been great, using this clean water is much better and you see a strong difference, and you are able to dial the ppm/ec without the interference of random stuff plus the chloride and fluoride that comes with tap water in my region. This version of the Hulkberry i have is a bit more on the sensible side of things, se feels already if you keep touching her, also better not to nuke this strain with nutrients from what i have seen so far, so I’m going easy on her. The other two strains form Kannabia, one been the unstable version of Purpple Kush, got many aliens already out of some seeds, and ironically a Lucky dip, mystery strain is extreamely vigorous and nice to work with. A side from that i have chosen two HLG QB324 V2 quantum board with a Meanwell 320H-54a driver to build a DIY light, with passive Heatsink and 90 degree optics to power the flower tent, so basically i will move this plants to the other tent in a week or two when i get this build. This is a huge step up for me since i was using a generic Chinese blurple led. My setup changed a lot and i will try to keep things consistent, i may have some adaptation going on to drive all this new perpetual style grow.
