Plant 1 has 2 sets of cotyledon leaves. Which is a neat mutation. Anyone else grow stardawg and seen this? I really tried getting the temperature up a little more this week. Worked a little too well and things coulda went south quick. Thankfully everything’s good. I do not have access to my grow as much as I would like? As I do not have sufficient space in my apartment for my grow, Iam forced to do so in my parents basement. Big shout out to my mom! For watering these girls for me. She actually shot some of the videos, and it is her voice you are sometimes hearing. Till next time. ✌️

The week ain’t over yet but so far so good. What i’ve done: •Germinated the seed in a glass of water •Replanted it from a 2.7 liter pot to a 6 liter bucket with drilled holes at the bottom. ———————————————————————— What i’ll do the coming days: •Give the plant a 150w led light •Give the plant 18/6 light instead of 24 hours

Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green realm! Week 8 of our Apolo F1's cosmic journey has unfolded with breathtaking speed, as she hurtles towards the final frontier of harvest. Join me as we reflect on this remarkable odyssey, filled with growth, discovery, and the promise of a bountiful yield. Our journey with Apolo F1 began eight weeks ago, a small seedling bursting with potential. With each passing week, she has grown and flourished, defying expectations and surpassing milestones with ease. From the delicate tendrils of her infancy to the lush canopy of her maturity, she has been a beacon of botanical brilliance. As we enter the final weeks of flowering, the floral symphony reaches its crescendo. Buds swell and mature, filling the air with their intoxicating aroma. Each bloom is a testament to the meticulous care and nurturing environment provided by our dedicated community of growers. Together, we have cultivated a garden of wonders, and the fruits of our labor are now within reach. As a testament to our shared passion for exploration and discovery, I've included a time-lapse video of me building an Apolo ship with Legos. This playful homage to our green companion serves as a reminder of the boundless creativity and ingenuity that defines our community. Just as we construct our own little corner of the universe, so too does Apolo F1 continue to inspire us with her growth and vitality. As we approach the culmination of this extraordinary journey, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. To Royal Queen Seeds ( Love the new Logo by the way ) for providing the genetic star of our green opera, to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fueled our odyssey, and to the Grow Diaries community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have proven that with dedication, passion, and a touch of magic, anything is possible in the world of cultivation. Join me in the final chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the long-awaited harvest and celebrate the culmination of this extraordinary journey.

Day 63. Same watering routine as weeks prior, top watered with recharge, ferment and buildabloom 4 liters each box on day 60, filled reservoirs with 8 liters mixed with coconut powder day 62. Buds are fattening up seeing some stigma turning brown.

Day 37 Everything is going wonderfully. The flowers are getting thicker and thicker and the smell is getting stronger and stronger. Deficiency symptoms from Happiness have not increased any more.

3 março - 9 marco 4 março - Alimentadas pela primeira vez 9 março feeding: Biogrow 1ml; bio heaven 2ml; acti-vera 2ml pH 6.3

Plantas muy facil de cultivar y muy rapida .. en solo 9 semanas me saque en la #1 85g y en la #2 - #3 unos 50 cada una... en cada foto teneis el seguimento de cada planta desde la semilla a los cogollos.. consejo para todos de el banco de sweets seeds ✌️✌️

Α,α (alpha) and Ω,ω(omega) Here we grow again. LAST GROW. 344g+280g+445g+255g=1324g dry bud. Yielding 1,324 grams of dry cannabis using a 600W light in a 4x4 tent is exceptionally efficient. This breaks down to roughly 2.21 grams per watt, far exceeding the standard indoor benchmark of 1.0 g/W and outperforming elite professional targets (1.5–2.0 g/W). For carbon and energy efficiency, this output drastically lowers the carbon cost per gram compared to typical indoor grows. Achieving 1,324 grams (47.2 ounces) of dry cannabis from a 600W light in a 4x4 tent is exceptional, yielding roughly 2.21 grams per watt. This is an elite-tier result that reflects world-class photosynthetic conversion, highly optimized canopy light distribution, dialled-in CO2 supplementation, and precise environmental control. Growing 1.3kg of dry in a 2x2 with 1 plant is just being silly and not understanding how carbon and energy conversion works towards mass. Took 6 years and 10,000+ Hours to break the 2 grams-per-watt barrier not exactly 600W, in honesty, though—even with modern, high-efficiency LEDs—is an incredible feat that requires hitting the absolute genetic ceiling of the cultivar and maintaining flawless environmental parameters for the space. Photosynthesis is the literal conversion of light energy (photons) into chemical energy (carbohydrates). Leaf temperature, driven by radiation from fixtures and mitigated by latent heat of vaporization (transpiration), dictates metabolic rates. If your room's thermal dynamics are off, enzyme activity inside the plant stalls, grinding growth to a halt. Anyone else pretending to have done so with nothing but Plagron nutrients at 75F is telling porkie pies *cough*, otherwise known as a liar, liar with a bum that's on fire, but it seems that's the new norm these days on GD. *cough cough*. Using copper and zinc plates in the plant medium to form a natural earth battery to assist with Electrochemical Reactance. The moist soil acts as an electrolyte, while zinc serves as the anode and copper as the cathode. Zinc is a highly reactive metal and oxidizes, losing electrons into the soil. These electrons travel through an external wire to the copper plate. The moisture and dissolved salts in your plant medium allow charged ions to move freely between the plates, completing the circuit and generating a small direct current (usually between 0.8 and 1.1 volts). This micro-current subtly alters/the Electrical Conductivity (EC), allowing more effective breaking apart of chemical bonds in the soil (electrolysis), making soil nutrients like phosphorus, calcium, and potassium more accessible to roots. Buried the zinc plates around the sides of the plant pot's root zone and the copper plate in the middle. Ran an insulated copper wire above ground to connect the zinc plate to the copper plate, creating a closed loop. Making sure the soil remains perfectly moist and contains everything it needs; entirely distilled water or bone-dry medium will prevent ion exchange and block the current. Leave that up to the rhizosphere. Currently testing new parameters for a couple of weeks. Seeing what she can do with a new and upgraded ducting closed loop and double the water capacity. Also added 6kg of inoculated biochar along with a slew of small improvements. Keeping an eye on. Zinc toxicity vs. consumption, given how sacrificial zinc is. Want to make sure the biochar stabilizes first. A Synganic closed-loop bioengineering-logic grow room merges synthetic inputs (precision minerals/chelated nutrients) with an organic living soil matrix (microbial life/bio-stimulants), managed via automated, data-driven automation. Master Operating Procedure (MOP): The system balances a sterile environment with a thriving, dynamic rhizosphere, merging the biological resilience of living organic soil with the high-precision chemical control of modern Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Synganic blends a biologically active living soil or microbe-rich substrate with targeted, low-dose mineral or synthetic fertigation to optimize both metabolic yield and secondary metabolite expression (terpenes/flavonoids). What else is alive! Eisenia fetida (Red Wigglers) will continuously process organic matter into plant-available nutrients and aerate the media. Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis mites) provides excellent biological control against fungus gnats and pupating thrips. Armadillidium vulgare (Pillbugs) excel at breaking down tough, woody organic matter and toxic heavy metals. New "Closed-Loop Sealing" Isolates the internal microclimate from external weather, vectors, and pests. Air is scrubbed 264nm UV-C, recirculated, and enriched rather than openly exhausted. Operational Parameters (MOP Framework). Microbes act as biological buffers for the mineral inputs, preventing salt toxicity and ensuring continuous nutrient availability. Precise management of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) day and night to force optimal stomatal conductance without stressing the biological media. Strict clean-room protocols prevent pathogen intrusion while maintaining non-sterile, highly active beneficial bacteria and fungi populations in the root zone. Looking at a grow room as a closed-loop system changes everything. You aren't "growing a plant"; you are managing a mass and energy balance equation where the plant is a biological transducer. Every watt of light introduces sensible heat. Every drop of water turns into latent heat via transpiration. When a deficiency appears, a grower flushes or adds a bottle of "magic" additive. A master looks at the HVAC duty cycle, realizes the dew point spiked, the stomata closed, and calcium transport stalled due to lack of transpiration, not lack of nutrients. Protocol-driven logic can be automated, replicated, and optimized. Legacy growing and anecdotal habits fail the moment the room moisture volume changes. ADD CALMAG! Comprehensive Substrate Composition: Because why not. 1. Substrate Base & Aeration Media Expanded Clay Aggregates (Hydroton Pebbles) Coir Chunks & Horticultural Coco Coir Sphagnum Peat Moss Horticultural Perlite Horticultural Vermiculite Horticultural Pumice Volcanic Basalt Rock 2. Mineral Amendments & Soil Conditioners Agricultural Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) Wollastonite (Calcium Silicate) Dolomitic Limestone (Calcium Magnesium Carbonate) Basalt Rock Dust (Trace Mineralizer) Azomite (Micronutrient-Rich Volcanic Ash) Glauconite (Greensand) Crushed Seashells (Calcium Carbonate Source) Pyrolyzed Carbon Feedstocks (Biochar & Horticultural Charcoal) Shungite (Carbonaceous Mineraloid) 3. Organic Nutrient Amendments Steamed Bone Meal (High Phosphorus) Dehydrated Blood Meal (High Nitrogen) Fish Bone Meal (Phosphorus & Trace Calcium) Cold-Processed Kelp Meal (Ascophyllum nodosum) Dehydrated Moringa Oleifera Powder (Botanical Nutrient) Spirulina Powder (Arthrospira platensis / Cyanobacteria Nutrient) Marine Crustacean Biomass (Shrimp & Crab Chitin) 4. Biological Inoculants & Organic Acids Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant (Endomycorrhizae / Ectomycorrhizae) Vermicompost (Premium Worm Castings) Humic & Fulvic Acids (Concentrated Humates) Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC): An ecological concept referring to the pathway of water moving from the soil, through the plant, and into the atmosphere. Humidity of the air dictates the moisture in the medium, which dictates the rate of pull from the terracotta stakes 15 in total. Terracotta (unglazed, low-fired clay) is highly porous, acting as a breathable, permeable membrane that transports water based on the moisture gradient between the potting medium (soil) and the surrounding air. White terracotta and brown terracotta often have different pore sizes and overall porosity, primarily driven by differences in clay composition, impurities, and firing temperatures. While both are considered porous, brown terracotta often has higher iron content and impurities that behave as fluxes, affecting how the pores form during firing, while white terracotta is generally derived from more refined clays, with smaller pores making it more suited to pure water. This mechanism is driven by capillary action and evaporation. When the surrounding soil is dry, the terracotta acts as a wick, pulling water out of the pot and into the soil. If the soil is very saturated, the terracotta absorbs water from the soil and allows it to evaporate from its outer surface, increasing the drying rate of the soil. Terracotta tends to keep the potting mix at an optimal saturation point, wicking up more water when the outside surface evaporates water into the air. The greater the difference in moisture between the soil and the outside air, the faster the water transfers through the ceramic. In low humidity and hot weather, the evaporation rate from the terracotta surface is high, creating a rapid drying effect. Newer terracotta pots often have a denser, lighter-toned structure that is less porous than traditional, red-orange terracotta, slowing down the moisture transfer rate. Over time, dissolved salts from fertilizer or tap water build up and block the pores, reducing the permeability of the clay. Water is all that is used or needed, thanks to the biochar and the massive storage bank of nutrients. Just waiting until something creeps up. Clay pot irrigation (Ollas), an ancient farming practice, utilizes this property by burying unglazed jars in the soil, allowing water to slowly seep into the surrounding soil only when the soil dries out. Remember to clean terracotta stakes in mild acid after each grow. Submerge the stakes in a solution of 1 part distilled white vinegar to 3 or 4 parts water. Let the stakes soak for 20 to 30 minutes. You will hear a fizzing sound as the acid reacts with and dissolves the mineral salts. Use a stiff-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away the loosened residue. Rinse the stake thoroughly in clean water to wash away any leftover vinegar. BOOM good for next grow! Indigenous Amazonians created, or at least significantly enhanced, the fertile, dark soil known as Terra Preta de Índio (Portuguese for "Indian Black Earth") by incorporating biochar and other organic materials into the soil. This anthropogenic (human-made) soil technique, which dates back roughly 2,500 to 8,000 years, allowed ancient civilizations to flourish in regions with naturally poor, acidic, and nutrient-poor tropical soils. Electrical Conductivity refers to how easily a material or solution allows electrons or ions to flow continuously when an electrical potential is applied. Electrochemical Reactance is the opposition to alternating current (AC) caused specifically by the temporary storage of energy in electric or magnetic fields, rather than energy being lost as heat. Reactance does not directly alter a material's intrinsic electrical conductivity. Instead, it dictates how the system stores and releases energy over time, which creates a temporary barrier to current flow in AC circuits. Together with resistance, reactance makes up total impedance. Electrical impedance (the combination of resistance and reactance) in the rhizosphere dictates how easily ions and water move into plant roots, directly impacting the Electron Transport Rate (ETR). High impedance restricts ion mobility, leading to nutrient deficiencies that decrease ETR and stunt overall plant growth. Electrolysis in the rhizosphere can reduce the direct ATP energy cost for a plant by electrochemically altering soil chemistry, changing pH gradients, and splitting or reducing compounds so that nutrients become easier to absorb or break down. Electrolysis uses an external electrical voltage to drive chemical reactions (like splitting water or reducing ions). This external electricity performs thermodynamic work on the soil solution. Rather than directly fueling plant enzymatic machinery or lowering biological ATP synthesis costs inside root cells, electrochemical reactions alter surrounding nutrient forms (e.g., changing pH, altering redox states, or breaking tight mineral bonds). By electrochemically making mineral ions more mobile or bioavailable, the plant may spend less root exudate carbon or membrane-transport ATP trying to scavenge locked nutrients, though the plant's baseline respiration and ATP costs for active uptake still apply. Laws of math are conceptual, laws of math are universal, the laws of math are invariant, and the laws of math are exceptionless. The laws of mathematics are the foundational rules that govern structure, quantity, space, and change. Unlike the laws of physics, which describe how our specific universe behaves, mathematical laws are absolute truths independent of physical reality. Think of electricity like highway traffic to easily understand the difference between the movement, the road, and the speed. •Electron Flow is the traffic (the cars moving). •Electrical Conductivity is the highway (how wide and smooth the road is). •Electron Transport Rate (ETR) is the speedometer (how many cars pass by per second). ETR stands for Electron Transport Rate. It measures the speed at which electrons are moved through the thylakoid membranes in a plant's chloroplasts during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Mass is effectively "congealed" energy. Energy is just numbers. Energy isn't a physical "substance" you can hold or touch. It is essentially an abstract, calculated number that we assign to a system to predict how it will change, interact, or move. A numerical label we attach to matter to track how it behaves. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, including plant cells. It powers various cellular activities like nutrient uptake, protein synthesis, and cell division. Without ATP, the plant's metabolic machinery would grind to a halt, regardless of the presence of nutrients, oxygen, or carbon. Nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are essential for building plant tissues and various molecules. They are incorporated into proteins, nucleic acids, and other vital compounds. While crucial, their uptake and utilization rely on ATP-driven processes. Oxygen is vital for cellular respiration, a process that generates ATP. While plants can produce ATP through photosynthesis, oxygen is essential for maximizing ATP production in mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. Carbon is the backbone of all organic molecules, including carbohydrates synthesized during photosynthesis. It's the fundamental building block of plant structures and fuels. However, its incorporation into organic molecules is also ATP-dependent. We don't grow we facilitate energy conversion. Everything is energy. Energy is represented by numbers. Numbers are frozen music. Music is moving sacred geometry of the Uni-verse.

Wächst und duftet. Bin zufrieden und freue mich über das köstliche Aroma, das sich langsam im Garten ausbreitet.

A small update from yesterday. Looking forward to the next weeks. Hopefully they will frost up a little more. They really love the compost tea!

Trotz der Hitze in der vergangenen Woche in der zweiten Hitzewelle mit bis zu 40° C. hat sie weitere 20 cm Höhenwachstum hingelegt. Der Preis dafür war dreimaliges Wässern täglich, sonst wäre es zu einem Trockenschaden gekommen und Anwesenheit um einen Mangel schnell erkennen zu können. In der letzten Woche in Urlaub gewesen zu sein wäre tödlich für die Pflanzen gewesen. Im Inneren mussten ein paar vergilbende Blätter entfernt werden, sonst gab es weiter nichts auffälliges und berichtenswertes. Sie ist eine gesunde kräftige Pflanze mit vielleicht etwas zuviel Laub. Kein Fraß Kein Trockenschaden Kein Windbruch Keine Unterdüngung (evntl. etwas zuviel) Eigentlich langweilig... aber das Ziel ist eine gesunde Outdoor Pflanze mit gutem Ertrag. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch!

03/06/2024- Yoooo update gang!!! So hey guys got alot going on in my life rinnow,sorry for delays on updating, started at a new office for work and with trainings and scheduling it's been brazy to say the least lol...Anyways, she is really growing now with the roots really exploding now and so forth with foliage and what not, most interesting thing is that she is handling the system surprisingly well considering I went against alot of people advice of starting her from seed so soon in the system but MEH w.e lol I'm gunna mother her and take cuttings in about 2 or 3 weeks depending on size. Again guys always nice having a solid community and help from growers and Industry heads alike thank you all!!! LFG!

The buds are nice and chunky, completely covered in resin, and the terps are absolutely incredible 🤤🤤

W7 - GRETA 🌱is growing well. I again defoliate some leaves from top brunches (compare with week 6) just to make the top canopy slightly less dense. That will allow more sunlight receive by lower brunches a specially when they in the flowering period. Still using garden wire to hold down two top branches. She looks like bonsai cannabis 🎉 😘 I am happily watching her grow 🙂

Man, I whipped these girls into shape! They got an amazing lolipoping~! its hard to sacrifice some of those branches but they look so much better for it and i hope it better allocates the plants resources! Did a big defoliation that really changed the way they look!

Welcome back to my humidity hell. I just can't set the humidity down to where I want it. I did some more defoliation this week. Perhaps that will help the humidity a bit. These girls grew a bit bigger than I expected, and this may be contributing to my high humidity numbers. Other that that, these girls are stacking up nicely! They continue to have no problems and look healthy!
