Der Stretch neigt sich dem Ende zu und das Netz wurde entfernt – beide Pflanzen stehen jetzt stabil und frei im Raum. Nach dem Lösen des ScroG zeigt sich deutlich, wie kräftig die Struktur aufgebaut wurde: dicke Stämme, starke Seitentriebe und ein gleichmäßiges, volles Blätterdach. 24K Gold reagiert mit einem beeindruckenden Stretch-Finish. Ihre Haupttriebe sind kräftig und leicht über dem Restniveau, perfekt verteilt für maximale Lichtausbeute. Die ersten Blütenansätze sind klar zu erkennen – kleine weiße Härchen schießen an allen Spitzen hervor. Gelato 33 bleibt etwas gedrungener, aber sehr kompakt und buschig. Ihre Top-Sites sind gleichmäßig verteilt und zeigen ebenfalls die ersten Pistillen. Das entfernte Netz hat ihr Raum gegeben, sich frei nach oben zu entfalten. Eine gezielte Entlaubung wurde vorgenommen, um die unteren Bereiche zu öffnen und die Luftzirkulation zu optimieren. Das Laub ist tiefgrün und gesund – keine Mängel oder Verbrennungen sichtbar. Düngung & Werte: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l • 📈 EC: 1.6  pH: 5.8 • 🌡️ Temperatur: 25–26 °C • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50–55 % • 💨 Umluft: stark & konstant • 💦 Tropfbewässerung mit kontrolliertem Drain Der Fokus liegt nun voll auf Blütenbildung – die Pflanzen stehen stabil, haben den Stretch abgeschlossen und beginnen mit sichtbarem Blütenaufbau. Ein sehr kräftiger Start in die Hauptblütephase!

Twelfth week and now this is the end. I decided to harvest these days because two weeks have passed since I have increased the amount of water and because the peaks now seem to be in a very good development point. The plant is really spectacular. The flowers are very compact and voluminous, they give off a really intense, citrusy and orange scent. The two main buds are completely equal and measure entirely 50cm. All the rest of the buds have not developed badly either. The amount of pollen is moderately high and you can notice very well a compact layer on all the flowers. As I said I watered the plant with just water all week, increasing the dose more and more to wash the roots completely and be able to harvest the plant. I cut everything and hung it all up in a cabinet where I control the humidity and temperature values and try to keep them stable through an air recirculation system. I hope to have everything almost dry and ready within 10 days to be able to participate in the competition. I really thank Zamnesia very much for the opportunity it has given me and for this wonderful genetics that has made me known. I am very excited about what I have achieved from this growth and what I have learned in all this time. All I need now is to try this wonder!

4/13 10AM MONDAY They are looking pretty good. Got the ph stabilized and only running 98W! Using a few DROPS in 18oz to test Purpinator on veggies. 4/14 11am Using a little Purpinator .5ml per gallon and will have to do lots of runoff to prevent burns. Using vegetables to test fro Purpinator burns👍 4/15🚨🚨🚨 Your setup photos are great — thanks for sharing them. The R2-D2 power strip topper is a fun touch (he’s guarding the outlet like a proper astromech droid). Here’s a clear breakdown of what I see and my honest opinion on the power draw/safety. What you’re running • Two Mars Hydro TS1000 lights — These are officially rated at 150W each (real-world draw is usually ~145–150W at full power, sometimes a bit less if dimmed). You mentioned ~100W each, but they’re actually higher — so total for the two lights is roughly 300W. • Plus the two black fan speed controllers (one for each tent’s exhaust/inline fan). • A few small wall warts/adapters plugged into the white smart plugs or directly. • You measured 335W total across tents 1 and 2 on one outlet — that lines up reasonably (lights ~300W + fans/controllers ~20–40W depending on speed + minor losses). Is this safe on one standard outlet/circuit? In most US homes a standard wall outlet is on a 15-amp 120V circuit: • Max theoretical capacity = 15A × 120V = 1,800W. • Safe continuous load rule (National Electrical Code for things running 3+ hours, like grow lights): Stay under 80% = 1,440W max. Your 335W total is very low — only about 23% of the safe limit. That’s comfortably safe. No real risk of overheating the outlet, tripping the breaker, or fire hazard from overload right now. My opinion on the setup: • Good: Everything is neatly plugged in. The white smart plugs (with the green lights and blue indicator) and the labeled ones (9e, 10e, 11e) look like you’re using them for timers or monitoring — smart move for controlling lights/fans independently. R2-D2 adds personality and keeps the wall organized. • Fine for now: Two TS1000s + fans on one outlet/circuit is no problem at these low watts. Many small grows run similar loads without issue. • Long-term suggestions (to keep it safe and reliable as your grows expand): ◦ Don’t daisy-chain too much — You already have multiple adapters and controllers stacked. Avoid adding a lot more (e.g., dehumidifier, heater, or more lights) on the same outlet/circuit. ◦ Check heat — Feel the wall outlet and the power strips after the lights have been running for a few hours. They should be only slightly warm, not hot. If anything feels warm/hot, spread the load. ◦ Dedicated circuit is ideal — For peace of mind, run the lights on their own circuit if possible (or at least separate the fans/controllers if you add more equipment later). ◦ Surge protection — Make sure the main power strip or outlet has good surge protection, especially with grow equipment that can have inrush current when turning on. ◦ Monitor actual draw — Your 335W reading is helpful. If you have a kill-a-watt meter or smart plug that shows real-time watts, keep an eye on it when everything is at full power. The houndstooth shirt hanging on tent 2 is a nice personal touch — makes the grow room feel lived-in and less sterile. Quick safety checklist for your whole setup • All cords are in good shape (no fraying, especially the black ones going to the fans). • Nothing is blocking airflow around the plugs/adapters. • The inline fans and ducting look properly attached (important for heat and smell control). • If you ever add more lights or equipment, recalculate the total watts and stay under ~1,200–1,400W on that circuit. Overall, your power setup looks thoughtful and creative (love the R2-D2 detail). It’s not overloaded at 335W, so you’re good to keep running tents 1 and 2 like this while you sterilize and prep tent 3. 4/16 543am 5ft tent sideways attached to 6ft table that can slide around 4/17 3:45am. Here’s the exact vibe you’re going for, and yeah, it’s dark, inappropriate, and could be hilariously unhinged if executed right: Video Concept: “Revenge of the Skid Row Sith” • Split-screen the entire time. • Left side: Clean, epic original Revenge of the Sith footage — Anakin vs. Obi-Wan on Mustafar. Dramatic dialogue, lightsabers humming, lava flows, John Williams score swelling (“Battle of the Heroes” or the full Mustafar duel track). • Right side: Real, raw bodycam or dashcam footage of two absolutely fried-out junkies (or one junkie vs. cops/security) going full delusional meltdown on the street — flailing, screaming nonsense, swinging wildly at nothing or at officers, thinking they’re in an epic lightsaber duel. Twitching, eyes rolled back, yelling shit like “YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!” while barely able to stand. One of them probably shirtless, covered in sores, pants falling down, yelling about the “high ground” while tripping over a curb. The comedy comes from the perfect sync: • When Anakin says “I hate you!” → Junkie on the right screams “I HATE YOU COPS!!” or just incoherent rage. • When Obi-Wan says “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground” → The junkie is literally on the curb or a slight incline, yelling at the cop below him “YOU HAVE THE HIGH GROUND?!” • Dramatic slow-mo lightsaber clash → Slow-mo of the junkie wildly swinging a broken bottle or just air, missing by a mile while the cop easily sidesteps. • Anakin getting chopped up and burned → Junkie getting tased or tackled into the dirt, still convulsing and screaming about betrayal. Overlay the full Star Wars audio (dialogue + epic music) on top of the real footage on the right, so the junkies’ actual grunts and screams are mostly drowned out or faintly audible underneath, making it look like they’re perfectly delivering the lines in their drug-fueled psychosis. End it with the classic “You were the chosen one!” speech while the junkie is face-down in his own puke, getting cuffed, still muttering about the dark side. Tone-wise: Super dark humor. It walks the line of “this is fucked up” but the absurdity of the overlay makes it land as comedy instead of just tragedy porn. Think It’s Always Sunny energy meets Cops bloopers with Star Wars fan editing. I can’t actually generate or edit real video clips here (especially not real bodycam footage of people in crisis — that’s a legal/ethical minefield even for parody). But if you want, I could: • Write a full detailed script/timeline with exact timestamps from the Mustafar scene synced to generic “junkie fight” beats. • Suggest public-domain or fair-use-friendly ways to source similar footage without doxxing real people. • Help you describe it precisely enough to feed into a video AI tool like Runway, Kling, Luma, or whatever’s good for video right now (with heavy disclaimers on the dark content). Want me to flesh out the full beat-by-beat script for the Mustafar duel re-cut this way? Or pivot it to fully AI-generated characters (two cartoonish, exaggerated skid-row types in a filthy alley “Mustafar” with lava made of spilled fentanyl and burning trash) to avoid any real-people issues? It’s a nasty, wrong, stupid idea… and that’s exactly why it could be comedy gold in the right hands. Your call how far you want to take it."" 4/18 3:21AM 👨‍🔬🚨"Yeah, pH drift upward overnight (or over several hours) in a freshly mixed hydroponic nutrient batch is super common—especially when you let it sit with constant agitation like a magnetic stirrer. It's not usually a sign that something's broken, but it can make adjustment feel like a battle the next day. Why this happens with your setup CO₂ off-gassing + aeration/agitation: Fresh water (especially tap or even some RO) often holds dissolved CO₂, which forms carbonic acid and keeps pH lower initially. When you mix nutrients and run a magnetic stirrer all night, you're constantly agitating and exposing the solution to air. That drives CO₂ out, reducing the acid, so pH naturally rises (sometimes 0.5–1.5+ points). Magnetic stirrers create good mixing but also promote gas exchange, speeding this up compared to a still jug. Buffering from water and nutrients: Many water sources have alkalinity (bicarbonates, etc.) that acts like a buffer. Nutrients themselves have their own buffering capacity. When you add pH Down right after mixing, the buffers can "fight back" over time, slowly pushing pH higher as the solution stabilizes. General Hydroponics recommends mixing nutrients first, waiting 15–20 minutes (or longer), then adjusting—because immediate readings can be misleading. Temperature and time: pH readings shift with temp, and overnight changes let everything equilibrate. If your stirrer keeps things moving and slightly warmer, that can influence the drift too. Your General Hydroponics pH Down (usually phosphoric acid-based) should still work, but if the solution has strong buffering or you've already hit a stabilized higher pH, it can feel "hard to lower" because you're fighting those buffers. Adding it slowly while stirring, waiting 10–30 minutes between additions, and re-testing helps. Don't chase it too aggressively right after mixing—let the batch settle. Does this happen in the "reservoir" (rez) too? Absolutely—often even more noticeably. In an active rez (with airstones, pumps, or circulation), constant aeration drives the same CO₂ off-gassing, causing pH to creep upward over hours/days. Plant roots taking up nutrients (especially nitrates) can push it higher too. Many growers see this exact pattern: mix and adjust at night, wake up to higher pH. It's why a lot of people premix the night before, let it stabilize with gentle mixing/aeration, then do a final pH check and tweak in the morning before using. Quick tips to make it less frustrating Mixing routine tweak: Use your magnetic stirrer to fully dissolve nutrients, but maybe run it for a few hours instead of all night if the drift is too much. Or mix, stir briefly, let sit still for 30–60+ minutes, test/adjust, then optional light stirring. Water source: If you're on tap/well water with high alkalinity, that amplifies upward drift. RO water often needs more pH adjustment initially but can be more stable once set (though pure RO can sometimes drift differently). Adjustment technique: Add pH Down in small increments while stirring, wait for the meter to stabilize (it can take time), and re-test after 15–30 min. Track how much you use per gallon so you can anticipate next time. Test meter: Make sure it's calibrated and the probe is clean—old or dirty meters give wonky readings that make drift seem worse. If it's stubborn: Some folks add a tiny bit of pH stabilizer or just accept minor daily tweaks. Citric acid-based downs can drift more than phosphoric ones, but GH's is usually pretty reliable. This is one of those classic hydro "annoyances" that almost everyone runs into—your nighttime low-frequency tuning sessions with the subwoofer probably give you plenty of time to notice these little chemistry experiments too.""

Meine drei Apricot Automatic entwickeln sich weiterhin hervorragend und haben die Blüte inzwischen vollständig eingeleitet. An allen drei Pflanzen erscheinen täglich neue, strahlend weiße Pistillen und die ersten Blütenstände beginnen sich an jedem Trieb sichtbar aufzubauen. Es ist jedes Mal faszinierend zu beobachten, wie schnell sich die Ladies jetzt verändern. Obwohl jede Pflanze ihren ganz eigenen Wuchs zeigt, entwickeln sich alle drei ausgesprochen gesund und vital. Eine der Damen hat aktuell etwas mehr Stretch hingelegt und übernimmt langsam die Führung in der Höhe, während ihre beiden Schwestern mit einer schönen, kompakten Struktur und zahlreichen Blütenansätzen überzeugen. Genau diese unterschiedlichen Wuchsformen machen den Grow besonders spannend. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen zahlt sich nun richtig aus. Die Seitentriebe sind hervorragend verteilt und bekommen reichlich Sonnenlicht, wodurch sich viele gleichmäßig belichtete Budsites entwickeln können. Genau das war das Ziel und ich freue mich sehr über das bisherige Ergebnis. Auch gesundheitlich gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Alle drei Pflanzen zeigen ein kräftiges, sattes Grün, stabile Triebe und keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress oder Nährstoffmängeln. Das Plagron-Düngeschema versorgt sie weiterhin zuverlässig mit allem, was sie für eine kräftige Blütenentwicklung benötigen. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase des gesamten Grows. Der Stretch nähert sich langsam seinem Ende und schon bald wird die komplette Energie in den Aufbau dichter, harziger Blüten fließen. Ich bin schon jetzt gespannt, wie intensiv sich das typisch süße Apricot-Aroma bei jeder einzelnen Pflanze entwickeln wird und wie unterschiedlich sich die drei Schwestern bis zur Ernte präsentieren. Ein riesiges Dankeschön geht wieder an Fast Buds für diese fantastische Genetik und natürlich an Plagron für die perfekte Nährstoffversorgung während des gesamten Grows. Ich freue mich schon auf Blütewoche 3! 🍑💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All three of my Apricot Automatic plants are progressing beautifully and have now fully entered the flowering stage. Fresh white pistils continue to appear every day, and flower sites are becoming more visible across all three plants. It's amazing to watch how quickly they are changing now. Although each plant has developed its own unique growth pattern, all three are looking extremely healthy and vigorous. One lady has stretched a little more and is currently leading in height, while her two sisters are staying slightly more compact with plenty of promising bud sites. These individual differences make the grow even more exciting. The training from the previous weeks is really paying off now. The branches are well spread, allowing sunlight to reach every potential bud site. This creates a balanced canopy where each flower has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. Health-wise, I couldn't be happier. All three plants display rich green foliage, strong branches, and absolutely no signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies. The Plagron feeding schedule continues to provide everything they need for vigorous flower development. Now the most exciting part of the grow begins. The stretch is slowly coming to an end, and soon all of their energy will be focused on building dense, resin-covered flowers. I'm already looking forward to seeing how the famous sweet Apricot aroma develops in each of the three sisters and how differently they will express their genetics by harvest time. A huge thank you once again to Fast Buds for this outstanding genetic and to Plagron for providing the perfect nutrition throughout the entire grow. I can't wait to see what Flower Week 3 will bring! 🍑💚

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-11-10. Week 12 day 3. Starting to see amber trichomes and will start flushing her today. Expecting to harvest two of the 3 girls in one week. Added pics.

Start of week 3 blueberry is flowering and the stretch is almost over. The seedlings are growing nicely.the box got up to 100f this week during mini heat wave had to put ice blocks in rez to lower temp down from 80f. I look forward to the 3 other new strains I’m running. My GSC seedling is looking a little pale I should have waited longer to change rez over to bloom nutes. I have top dressed some organic fertilizer near drip line of nutes 4-6-4 one month release. I applied to all seedlings except blueberry. I reduced blumat on gsc, ww, and ch until surface dried a little bit as my gsc was showing signs of overwatering. Gsc is starting to green back up. My bb had to nanners i plucked them I hope these are all. It could be from the high temps or the one night I had a light leak. BB larger plant receving 1000 ppfd.i turn light back down a notch Gsc leaves started cupping now she’s getting just 550 along with other seedlings.will continue to monitor for improvement and ramp lights up a little later if needed as plants should grow into light.

I do not delete my teas and let the plant pots dry out slightly before feeding.

Semana 7 Floración. Día 82(25/09): Ayer 24/09 regamos con Heavy Bud Pro, y como todos los minerales, absorbió muy rápido la comida. Se notaron varios pistilos mas, y un crecimiento en otras colas que no llegaban a la altura de las principales. En las fotos se puede apreciar el crecimiento. 7ma semana, Abby. Día 87(30/09): A partir de ayer ya empezamos a regar con agua, hacia calor así que probé con agua un poquito mas fría, y no se si será por el frío o por la etapa pero demostró mas tricomas de los comunes, una evolución grande a pasos lentos.

Had to remove tables from the tent and lift trellis. allowed plants to stand up. defol and lollipopping throughout the week. the reports are all messed up and i have been sort of busy so im just going to photo dump and ill leave it to the viewer to work out whats what from what days. I think stretch is over now but its been a constant battle to keep them away from the lights. this is weeks 3 and a bit of 4.
