I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

14/02/22: the plants have had their final defolitation so they can really concentrate on building bigger buds in the final weeks before harvest. Some colas look ready and others not... have had to add my garden sticks to support the plants.

Chapter 13: He who smelt it... Added another compost tea of flower power and molasses, just a couple tablespoons now for the past 3 weeks. No more male flowers, I think I was just freaking out about some pre-flowers that never really developed. That said...it's suddenly starting to smell quite strongly now, both plants are leaning into their GMO genetics. At this point I'm probably going to need to do some something or the neighbors will start complaining the plants are creating a "public nuisance"... Stay tuned for some desperate measures.

Hi guys,i have some news for you and of course we are celebrating 👻🎃 1)Now the lamp works at 50% plus we are testing the sunset/dawn function. In fact, it simply reduces the power by 25% two hours before turning off and the same with turning on. I don’t know what this will give us, but the understanding that we are closer to nature warms the soul☺️. 2) It turned out that all the time I pour increased psh 6.4-6.8. The point here is that I prepare the compote in advance, respectively, I also lower the psh in advance, and for some reason in my sick head I was completely confident that Plagron ph down would keep the psh at the value I needed, but I was wrong. (Now it’s worth thinking about which of us is still down). Because of this jamb, we have a couple of unpleasant things, the first and most unpleasant thing is a delay in development, as well as all sorts of dirty tricks on the sheets, which they kindly told me that I was doing something wrong. Photos are attached. 3) Changed the composition of the compote. StartUp was removed. It was replaced by the Plagron Coco a+b and Fish Force base.

Friday nov 4: So 5 days after the week 12 update (today), i flushed her with 30 liter pure rainwater and afterwards poured 10 liter with only ripen @650ppm ph6.2 trough the medium this is like a waterchange. Now i let her go for about a week or 10 days and water with the ripen everyday, the first runoff is a bit lower (around400ppm) but this will increase everyday I will put more pictures sunday when we really reached the 13 week mark. The pictures with the red text are from today (week 12 day5) So she will be cut down at exactly week 14. I have let her go a bit longer then normal to see if i can bump the potency She also vegged in colder temperatures so she might have slowed down there. For now she looks at the right stage for the ripen the buds are rockhard on top and very swollen a bit foxtail from the “overdrive” last weeks. Anyway this was the grow guys, see u at the harvest

Day 27 today plants look ready to stretch fully Into flower. Or at least I hope so. They don't look so healthy , I have changed soil which I'm already regretting. Today and top dressed each plant with 10g each of Greenhouse feed bio bloom.

All plants are finished and drying harvest pictures and weights next Sunday !!!! Happy Growing

Wow things have been looking good so far, Really no problems.. Slow but I'm seeing the fruit the joy pop out of my ladies. So i gave Trina a cut after feeding very heavy as you can see in the pic. Ran out of Ph up and Gina ran Ph of smfh 5.6, that's all I'm going to say.. Cross my fingers also my Rh really been up and down. I'm going to fix that tomorrow.

Día 44 (15/07) Wow! No hay shock de trasplante! 😍💥😁 Todas las ramas se han estirado hacia arriba tras el ajuste de LST y se están formando nuevos nodos rápidamente Esta combinación de nutrientes de Lurpe + substrato de PRO-MIX HP es una maravilla 😍 Día 45 (16/07) Ayer tuvimos ola de calor (37 ºC) y han aguantado muy bien! A última hora de la tarde (cuando ya no había sol directo) les apliqué H2O en spray foliarmente para refrescar los estomas Hoy parece que vuelven las temperaturas estándar para esta época del año: 29 - 30 ºC en las horas centrales del día Riego con 1 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 46 (17/07) Pequeños ajustes de LST Hay algunas ramas inferiores que no se han formado / estirado mucho Lo más probable es que haga una buena limpieza este domingo, 7 días después del trasplante, para dejar solo los brotes por encima del 4º nudo Día 47 (18/07) Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Este domingo (día 50) haré limpieza de partes bajas y tal vez también de nuevo topping en las 4-6 ramas principales 😁 Día 48 (19/07) Día de muchísimo calor con 37 ºC. A ver como lo llevan! Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 49 (20/07) Para ayudarles a llevar mejor el calor de las horas centrales del día, coloca una malla de sombreo (70%) sobre el invernadero Lo cierto es que se nota que baja mucho la temperatura debajo de la malla! Van a estar más fresquitas! 😍 Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 50 (21/07) Training session! Hago limpieza del tercio inferior de la planta, de todas las ramas y nudos que no superan la línea del dosel marcada por el 4º nudo (1er topping) También hago topping (2º) a todas las ramas principales La idea es tener 12 ó 14 colas principales para que no se hagan muy altas De paso saco unos cuantos clones de las ramas inferiores eliminadas 😁💥 Para superar el estrés, hago las siguientes aplicaciones y riego: - Riego con 1 Litro de Té Vegetativo de Lurpe Solutions. Preparación: 24 horas con bomba de aire (oxigenación) con ingredientes: Green Sunrise 8 ml/L + Insect Frass 16 ml/L + Hummus Lombriz 8 ml/L + Melaza 1 ml/L + Kelp Hidrolizado 0,25 g/L - Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0,25 ml/l 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Heute startet die 12.Woche,morgen geht es für 2,5 Wochen nach Thailand.. Danach wird das Licht auf 12/12 umgestellt. Musste extrem viele Blätter entfernen, schon das 2.Mal diese Woche.. Das 1m x 1m Zelt ist nun voll mit 1 Pflanze!! Hat jetzt 67 cm Höhe und 1 m Breite, boom.. Licht wurde extrem hochgestellt auf 77cm Abstand, die Purple Lemonade von Fast Buds soll einfach keine Verbrennungen bekommen. Das wird glaube ich ein Urwald wenn ich wieder zuhause bin. Der Stamm hat 8cm Durchmesser, fette Genetik Drückt mir die Daumen! Peace!

Whole grow went off without a hitch. Actually haven't had this smooth of an experience with a plant in a while. This strain is a MUST TRY!!! I'm going to be toking on pure gas for a while! 👌😎 Cheers all! Got another one of her right around the corner as well 😂

Beautiful buds super sticky✂️ Delicious smell something new to me! Cant Wait the curing to taste this beauty

10/22: wow… what a mess. I should have defoliated last week. They were incredibly overgrown and now i had to stress the hell out of them to get the tent cleared up for light. Hopefully the stress does not cause any issues. As if the defoliation was bot enough stress on them, my light height has reached its top, and PL1 had two colas starting that were already pressed into the light. And so i removed their tops a node or two down. Im sure this was as good as hitting the plant in the face with a brick. Hope she recovers! If youve been following along, you know i planted these with hopes for the extremely purple pheno. And i believe that if i had it, she would have started showing her colors by now. Looking forward to seeing what these turn into and if they make it without any issues after i kicked them around a bit.

Shes about to blow up so i fed her 10 liters today with 1.2ec (1000-1200ppm) Thats 1ml/l calmag and 1.2grams/liter drypart bloom, also put the ph UP because this nutrient is very sour. I had to add about 7-8 ml in my water because i use rain.

🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Projekt Woche 2 Während die Strawberry Gorillas bereits in der Blüte stehen, beginnt für drei neue Damen gerade erst das Abenteuer. Alle drei Apricot Automatics entwickeln sich gesund, zeigen eine kräftige grüne Farbe und haben sich hervorragend an die Outdoor-Bedingungen angepasst. Trotz ihres jungen Alters legen sie aktuell das Fundament für einen spannenden Sommer. 🌱 Gesunde Entwicklung ☀️ Sehr gute Anpassung an das Outdoor-Klima 💚 Keine sichtbaren Mangelerscheinungen oder Stresssymptome 🌿 Stetig neues Wachstum Der Großteil der Arbeit findet momentan unter der Erde statt. Die Wurzeln erschließen nach und nach die Stofftöpfe und schaffen die Grundlage für das spätere explosive Wachstum. Es ist immer wieder faszinierend zu sehen, dass jede große Outdoor-Pflanze einmal genau so begonnen hat – klein, unscheinbar und voller Potenzial. Für die kommenden Tage lautet die Mission: Wurzeln bilden, Sonne tanken und sich auf die Wachstumsphase vorbereiten. Das Abenteuer hat gerade erst begonnen. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 Wie jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates auf GrowDiaries, damit ihr die Entwicklung aller drei Apricot Automatic Pflanzen durch die gesamte Outdoor-Saison 2026 verfolgen könnt. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Project Week 2 While the Strawberry Gorillas are already entering flower, three new ladies have just begun their journey. All three Apricot Automatics are showing healthy growth, vibrant green color, and excellent adaptation to their outdoor environment. Despite their young age, they are already building the foundation for what could become an exciting summer project. 🌱 Healthy development ☀️ Responding well to outdoor conditions 💚 No signs of deficiencies or stress 🌿 New growth appearing steadily At this stage, most of the work is happening below the surface as the roots establish themselves throughout the fabric pots. Once the root zone expands, growth above ground should accelerate significantly. It's always amazing to remember that every giant outdoor plant starts exactly like this — small, simple, and full of potential. For now, the mission is clear: Build roots, absorb sunshine, and prepare for the explosive growth phase ahead. The adventure has only just begun. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 As always, new updates will be posted every Sunday on GrowDiaries so you can follow the complete journey of all three Apricot Automatic plants throughout the 2026 outdoor season. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱
