Heya Growmies, this week was pretty eventful first off, the plant is in flowering in full force and doing really well despite a lot of user error throughout its life! I mentioned last week I was going to do two things, the plants last major defoliation and turn my DWC into a 2 bucket RDWC. I have managed to get around to both, I am always anxious when defoliating, scared of taking off too much but this time I really pushed my comfort zone, let me know what you think. before, in my other grows, I have a lot of larfy buds, I dont want those, I want tight, dense small nuggies, I think one of my bigger problems back then was defoliation amount, I just left too many fan leaves. RDWC.... Let me just say that I have proven to myself this week that I'm not destined to become a plumber, in my first iteration the drain line was too small, causing the pump to overpower it and overflow the plant bucket, I changed out the hose for some 50mm pvc tubing, which worked wonders, for the first few hours I sprung leaks and had to pull my plant out during her dark period to fix it; no bueno. All is well right now though, no leaks and everything is circulating nicely at 500 liters an hour. I could probably get a bigger pump, but its fine, I'm going to stop tempting fate. From here on out honestly, theres not much more for me to do other than go into the garden, pull a fan leave here or there, check flowers for nanners and balls and adjust the water. It's on cruise control now Stay safe out there growmies, keep growing!

Deep Forest Auto is growing very vigorously and well. She made a lot of progress in this week. She got her first lst and defoliation today. It was almost too late. As she is starting to get woody in her Base. She is growing really good in the air pot. Everything is looking good at the moment.

Semana del 3 al 9 de Mayo. Como puse en la pregunta de la semana anterior, ya vieron que tengo una chica hermafrodita. No tengo otro indoor para ponerla, así que la saqué a otra habitación y le puse la TGL60 a ver que pasa. Las otras tres plantas siguen en el indoor con la TGL 220. Como estaban con la malla, me costó mucho sacarla del indoor. Tuve que atarla porque las ramas no se sostenían muy bien por si mismas, así que ahora tengo este ramo que cocecharé más o menos el 16 de mayo. No parecen engordar mucho los cogollos, creo que los insectos afectaron más de lo que pensaba, sobretodo porque estos atacan las raíces. Las luces estaban a 15cm porque es lo que sugiere el fabricante para este periodo. Consideren que no es el clásico led y ya está. Ahora están a 20cm por miedo a que vayan a sufrir algún estrés lumínico.

Candy kush express #3 should be done by the end of this month and she's chunking up very nice and the smell coming from her is like nothing I've grown before it's wild!! Candy kush #1 is loving the foop bloom and is almost as tall as my gp x bkp which is like 6 weeks older 😅 😳 amazing growth with this strain. Candy kush #2 is growing super unruly lol 😆 branches growing every which way going to be a unique looking plant when all is said and done,I would seriously recommend this strain for anybody growing outdoors ,I'll be ordering a 10 pack for next season(depending on the smoke,which I already know is going to be fire 🔥) I was forced to move all 3 plants out in front of my house because the sun is slowly moving back behind the trees later and later as these fall weeks move foward but my front yard stays lit up from around 930am-730pm luckily or I'd be screwed

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.

Todo marcha en orden, la floración interior va 10 puntos. A la de exterior le esta costando la adaptación por los excesivos calores 37°C. Saludos a todos y gracias por las buenas vibras.

Aloah Growmies wir sind am Ende der Reise angekommen;) Freitag gab es letzte mal Dünger , Samstag und Sonntag nur Leitungswasser und seitdem austrocknen lassen bis heute. Die Harz Produktion hat sichtbar zugenommen das die Buds weiß glitzern und funkeln. Die Buds sind fest und Kompakt und verströmen ein Tropicana Diesel Haze Aroma das ich persönlich so noch nicht gerochen habe . Trichomen gecheckt und sie sind für mich genau richtig und rdy to harvest:)

Der Stretch ist nun offiziell vorbei – die Mädels haben ihre endgültige Größe erreicht. Alle Pflanzen stehen gesund und stabil da. Die Blätter zeigen ein sattes Grün, keine Anzeichen von Mangel oder Stress. Die Blütenbildung schreitet gut voran – erste Ansätze von Frost sind bereits sichtbar. Heute war außerdem das letzte Mal Entlauben und Lollipoppen angesagt. Jetzt können die Pflanzen ihre Energie voll und ganz auf die Buds konzentrieren. Es gibt keine neuen Komplikationen, alles verläuft weiterhin planmäßig. Ich bleibe bei meinem aktuellen Schema und beobachte weiterhin genau – ab jetzt liegt der Fokus voll auf der Blütenentwicklung.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

I saw some roots outside the jiffy so good news i guess but not happy at all

Pleasure to grow. Low maintenance in super soil setup in 5 gal cloth pot. Stayed small and compact but frosted up early and heavily. No deficiencies, steady growth, no training needed. Even minimal LST (which I did not do), would surely increase yield but I was more focused on quality and letting it do its thing. Genetically, it was determined to grow a perfect little canopy while not taking up much space, about as low maintenance as you can get on a plant imo. Running autos is still a limited thing for me, I like the idea of having keeper clones of photos as this is all for personal medical use, but this plant was fun to grow, true to form and stable as heck. I have a few seeds left and I’ll definitely save them for an outdoor run down the line
