i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Great growth this week, I was able to train the two upper branches and remove the lower branches from the four main colas. The cross-shaped structure is now wide enough, so I can let the four colas grow freely toward the sun. It's still over 30°C during the day here, with only two hours of rain all week! We're experiencing record-breaking heat... There are still no signs of flowering. The pre-stretch should begin this week, and I expect the first pistils to appear within the next 7–10 days. In the meantime, Ill keep lightly cleaning up the lower growth and gradually increase the nutrient dosage. This Strawberry G is proving to be incredibly tough: not a single sign of nutrient burn or deficiency since day one despite a very basic substrate, no unnecessary stem stretch that would have made her weak, and no heat stress day or night that could have slowed her growth. So far, I'm very impressed with this third-generation strain!

DAY 6 WEEK 2 - FLOWER Hello fellow growers, I'm thrilled to report that my current grow is progressing smoothly as I enter Week 2 Day 6. The plant is showing promising signs of healthy growth with no apparent deficiencies detected thus far. However, I've encountered some peculiar symptoms with the leaves; it seems like there's some tissue tearing or ripping occurring. Despite thorough inspections, I'm confident in stating that pests are not the culprit, as I haven't observed any other signs they typically leave behind. It's a bit perplexing, but I'm keeping a close eye on it. One aspect I've been experimenting with in this grow is the use of an ExHale CO2 bag. While I had hoped for a noticeable increase in CO2 levels, I haven't seen a significant improvement. After careful consideration, I suspect that the lack of a sealed environment is hindering its effectiveness. Humidity issues prevent me from sealing the environment completely, which likely results in the CO2 being dispersed rapidly. For now, I've decided to forgo using the CO2 bags, but I'm open to revisiting them in the future if I can establish a sealed environment. Looking ahead to the start of Week 3 of the flowering stage, I plan to introduce PK boost additives to enhance potassium intake. This strategic addition aims to support robust flower development and overall yield. Despite the minor setbacks, I remain absolutely thrilled with the progress of this run. With approximately five more weeks to go, I'm eagerly anticipating the taste and aroma of the final product. I appreciate all the support and encouragement from fellow growers. Here's to continued success and growth! Let's Grow!

2.24.2024: Start of week 5 from seed. Started to flower last week. Nothing done today. Still no nutes given, still scared to defoliate. Plant is 15.5 inches tall and looks healthy. Light is 11 inches from the top and at 75% power, 112 watts. I'm clearly no expert and i'm sure there's something i should be doing(feeding) but she's chugging along. 2.25.2024: Day 37 from seed. She's so healthy, and the budsites are producing a ton of white hairs. Some of the fan leaves have purple stems and a dark green color which i think indicates something with nitrogen but she's rolling along. Still no nutes given. 64oz of 6.3ph. 19 inches from soil. Can't tell if watering lowers the soil level but since i haven't touched the light height, i'm assuming its upward growth. 2.26.2024: Day 38. Small bit of upward growth. Will feed tomorrow for the first time at 1/4 strength nutes from the fox farm trio and maybe some calmag. 2.27.2024: Day 39 from seed. Finally fed the plant, albeit small amounts. Foxfam trio at 1/4 strength of the week 5 dose plus calmag. 64oz of the solution at 6.5ph. 2.28.2024: Day 40 from seed, 36 from sprout. Humming along. Bud development is going nicely. 21 inches in height. Light at 75% 9 inches from the top. 2.29.2024: Day 41. 96oz at 6.5ph. Another .5 inch of growth. Sitting at 23 inches from soil. Bud sites are clearly defined with tons of long white pistils. At first glance, she's the winner between the two in the tent so far. 3.1.2024: End of week 6, day 42 from seed. Plant is healthy as far as i can tell. Some yellow leaf tips, some burnt leaf tips, and most likely some nitrogen toxicity but shes taking it all well. Lots of learnings so far. FFOF probably isn't ideal but its working. I've got half a bag left so i'm stuck with it for the next cycle or two. I bought the fox farm trio for nutes and given i've only used them once, and a few mililiters at that, i feel like those containers are going to last forever.

Well we finally reached the end. The last week was more cruise control. Just trying to remove the big fan leaves that's blocking any flowers. The trichomes looking kinda ready but still acceptable. During the last few days I maintained a daytime Humidity of around 60 and nighttime of 55. Temperatures are between 73 degrees and 67 degrees. Two days before chop they got 48 hrs of dark and 3 days of no water to add to the stress. After the 48hrs darkness all the ladies Came out extra frosty. Loving the change of hues on the blue gelato. The vanilla Kush is very oily and very very strong smell. Not a strong smell coming off the OrangeGelato though. The green gelato has a creamy smell.

Starting strong, need to and alternative way of watering as I was using a jug and some of the soil sunk which made the stem bend down a little. This was quickly corrected A few changes on 27th I removed the oil heater that was really to big for the size of the tent. By doing this alone I could bring the light closer which is the reason for the slow growth. I also bought a humidifier as I was manually spraying the tent and now I can keep the levels up all the time I could now either use a smaller fan heater in or outside blowing through intake vents (without drying the plant up now I have the humidifier) or…… I could put the oil heater on outside the heat and insulate it

Day 63 Flowering: Hi all , well here we are, finally at the end of this amazing grow and only the trim and dry before the main event.....The results.. It has been a great grow from the start with these seeds , they have not missed a beat at all. The #4 has been innthe dark now for the past 6 days to try to really push the oils and survival instinct of the early finishing lady. She will be trimmed tonight as I don't want to push her too far and create a hermie now.. She is nice and sticky now and smells so sweet of fresh cut fruit. #1 has been ripening for the past week and even has a few new pistils showing up to add to the contrast of colours too her beautifully formed buds. They are so dense and solid to squeeze too. Her trichromes are beginning to show more amber among the cloudy and I don't want to leave her too long and ruin the intended high she naturally allows so it is time to take her out and into a dark period before trim to drying. As they are all grown organically , the need to flush ( bro-science anyway lol) and allow the harshness to go, is less worrisome. I have always dried intact in the past with no cuts to the plant until completely dried. This took care of the chlorophyll hit that often gets missed when drying wet trimmed and leaf gets trimmed into the bud. I also dry slowly to ensure the chlorophyll gets used up and not locked-in to the bud. Spending so long smelling this Mango aroma , it would be wrong to ruin in the harvesting now.. # 2 is my star of the grow so far on this auto perpetual run. She has been a monster from early days and performed perfectly . Her main stem is a total beast and I cannot wait to weigh that alone.. The colours and smell are so perfect too. I think this plant has shown just how capable the genetics are to create a huge plant with very little interference and a normal feeding regime that was simple too. astounding girl. She is a trichrome producing lady too and has some very nice frosting. The pics don't do them justice compared to standing in front of these beautiful plants . Well done Exotic seeds. I will update as the drying process goes and do a full harvest and report once we are there. be safe and well growmies. Grab yourselves some of these seeds from over at exotic and you won't be dissaointed no matter your growing experience...

Hi guys, we are entering the last week for the blue dream. The lemon cherry cookies is hung up to dry for 4 days already and will be manicured on wednesday normally! The chemical candy will need 2 more weeks I think and will receive only water from now on. Looks caked as hell! And smells really hard 😶‍🌫️

7/21 Battling a strange deficiency that has spread to one of the buds, almost positive its a calcium issue so I gave #3 a 1l of water with cal-mag. Things looking great otherwise. 7/22 cut the bud that was having strange issues and there was no mold inside. Dried it for a day, smoked the most messed up part just to see and it was fine so unless it was a heat issue I have no clue what happened. Otherwise everything is still looking great 7/23 Cut a couple of the main colas because quite a few of the trichomes were turning amber. It may have been a bit too early, bit I will monitor the rest of the plants to see how the develop.

Girls got topped this week. I decided to only top once due to the herming last time. But they are growing well after the transplant last week. I'm happy with the growth and we'll look to flip in about three weeks. That'll put trim time around Christmas which I have off.

No feed this week just continuing to flush. Seeing more and more amber trichomes starting to appear now so it’s lights out from tomorrow for 48 hours before harvesting to dry. The buds have bulked up nicely over the week and are smelling really tasty! All going well the next update will be the final harvest. 🙌 🍪🍧🍪

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.
