WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

4/5:
Took 4 cuttings from the shortie
4/12:
All 4 are rooted and growing!
5/1:
Transplanted from 1gallon pots to 5 gallon pots.
5/3:
Decided to grow one of them in my tiny tent and the other 3 will go outdoors.
5/4:
Took 2 of them outdoors under the 270w and sunshine.
5/6:
Trained all of them today and fed some boomerang along with the kelp, molasses, big bloom, and silica. Foliar fed and took the last one outdoors.
The one in the tent is really flourishing!
5/7 - 5/17:
Excellent growth! The supplemental lights are making all the difference.👍
Did some more training on all of them early in the week.
The one in the closet is spreading out nicely and budding up pretty quickly...but what's very cool is that all 4 clones outdoors are flowering?!?!? I sure hope they go ahead and finish rather than starting to revegetate as the days continue to get longer.
Much rain for the past few days, but it let up long enough for me to install another 200w of waterproof 3000k LED lights a couple of feet above them. Very intense lighting, great bang for the buck. So now, I've got 350w of 3000k and 120w of 6500k in the outdoor garden. That's gonna have to do it, as I also am using 1400w in my indoor gardens, plus a/c..bills are getting ridiculous.
5/18 - 5/28:
The clone in the tent is still stacking up really well. I guess the ones outdoors are too, but next to the seedling plants, they seem puny. Many buds though...
Since they decided to flower early, I sprayed them all down with a product that is loaded with hormones and auxins and stuff that's supposed to retard vertical growth and promote branching. It's also supposed to speed arvest time by as much as a week. I hope they can finish before the summer solstice (June 21), otherwise they might try to reveg instead of finishing..
Hopefully it helps keep them from stretching so much that I'll have to supercrop them. Their mamma was a shortie, so they really shouldn't get too tall anyway.
I also foliar fed them several times this week with something called MicroLife Maximum Blooms, Pow! They love the stuff!
5/28 - 5/31:
I did some training on a two of the outdoor clones early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. They were dry enough, so I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. The indoor clone is looking awesome. I fed her heavily on the 30th.
It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?!
That's it for week 8-
6/1 - 6/8:
Early in the week I gave them about a half gallon of water with liquid molasses, cal-mag, silica, and beastie bloomz only.
I foliar fed them a couple of times during the week, right at daybreak.
I fed them on Saturday, the 6th..about a gallon each..beastie bloomz, microlife maximum blooms, cal-mag, humic acid, grow big, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and signal.
They are looking very good..buds galore. The indoor clone got the same nutes, but on different days. She's also covered in buds, and they are beginning to fatten up.👍
6/9-7/4:
Busy with other gardens, so not many updates...
Indoor clone got to spend the last 2 weeks of her life in my closet under the quantum boards and UVB. I harvested and washed her buds on 6/28, let her hang dry and weighed and jarred her up on the 4th of July. She came in a 111g of cola and 45g of lower bud with only about 5g of larf. Nice!👍
She smells just like her mommy and has the same uber-dense buds. She was topped, so the buds aren't as mighty as the mamma's, but much more plentiful.👌
Outdoor clones:
I had a massive spider mite attack, and during the same week, I had a grasshopper invasion...I lost a few plants, one of which as a FFT1 clone.
I had just harvested my autos and my indoor clones from the closet, so I moved the remaining two clones in under the quantum boards. I treated them for spider mites several ways for several days and have given them much TLC. Hopefully their buds fatten up some more. They stanky, but they kinda slim...
7/11:
I harvested the last two clones tonight. So sticky!!! I washed them and hung them to dry.

Organic, I'm on day ~55, but the flash photo was taken on day 50. I've had some problems, but it's looking like they'll hold out until fully ripe. Trichs are starting to look cloudy, but new pistils are still forming aggressively. I'll try for 1 more week.
Lower nugs are taking their time to finish.

Will update throughout the harvest, drying, and curing.
Great grow!!! I honestly could not have asked for a better first time growing experience. A few little bumps along the road, but nothing these ladies couldn't handle.
Very citrus smell topped with a salvating creaminess. Will definitely keep this lady in mind for all future grows. Maybe at least one plant. I can't wait until I can try this girl. Thank you to Fast Buds for these awesome genetics and thank you to the Grow Diaries Cimmunity for all your help along the way.
Happy Growing
💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

I liked the taste, loved that the sugar leaves are filled with trichomes but it's just too little of a harvest for the effort.
BTW, math is all wrong on the g/watt
The Bestva 2000w doesn't use 1400w it uses around 390w
Also, I put 25m2 because that's the total size of the tent that I used, it doesn't mean that 1 m2 would need 4 of those lamps.
Also, it draws half of that when only veg is turned on.
So, the correct math would be
- 185w * 56 days of veg (18h)
- 390w * 70 days of flower (12h)
- 10g dry material
- Total space around 25% of the tent
Veg cycle:
185w / 1000 = 0.185 kW/h
0.185 kWh x 18 hours per day = 3.33 kW per day
3.3 kW per day x 56 day veg cycle = 186.48 kW per veg cycle for the whole tent
186.48 * 0.25 = 46kW for the area covered by the plant
Flower cycle:
390w / 1000 = 0.39 kW/h
0.39 kWh x 12 hours per day = 4.68 kW per day
4.68 kW per day x 70 day flower cycle = 327.6 kW per flower cycle for the whole tent
327.6 * 0.25 = 81.9kW for the area covered by the plant
Total:
46 kW (veg) + 81.9 kWh (flower) = 127.9 kW per entire cycle for the area covered by the plant
10 grams dried / 127.9 kWh = 0.08 grams per kW
---
Total Harvest
Total Harvest = 11g Choco + 66g KDA + 46g BC = 123g
Total kW = 186.48 + 327.6 = 514.08
123g / 514.08 = 0.23 grams per kw

Welcome back!!! It’s the beginning of week four. I now consider this plant to have finished the seedling phase, now move onto the veg stage.
THURSDAY - Day 22
10 October 24
- Switched the blue spec light out for the red spec light.
- 380 PAR/ PPFD at 26 inches distance.
- Topped the two bottom branches.
- Started doing a little LST by adding a few staples and a little bit of branch manipulation.
- She’s slowly shaping to my vision for this plant.
- Gotta start thinking of up potting her soon into her final home.
FRIDAY - Day 23
11 October 24
- Added two more LST staples.
- Just a day under the lights.
SATURDAY - Day 24
12 October 24
Watering day, 1 litre of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 1 litre - 61.1 PPM
Final - 1 litre at 6.45 PH at 62.8 PPM
Runoff - N/A
- Thinking of removing those giant fam leaves soon, they’re becoming cumbersome.
- Did my final planned topping of the two top branches.
- I tweaked a top branch and there was a pop at the knuckle, not a complete break but there’s a bit of damage.
- I’m fairly confident that she’ll send resources to fix it and make it even stronger.
- No stress, we push forwards and roll with the punches cause that’s what we do around here.
SUNDAY - Day 25
13 October 24
- Just a day under the lights.
- She doesn’t seem too bothered by yesterday’s branch tweaking.
- There’s a but of a split but it seems to be scabbing over.
- I’ll keep monitoring it over the next few days.
MONDAY - Day 26
14 October 24
- Just a day under the lights.
- Also a good recovery day.
TUESDAY - Day 27
15 October 24
Transplant day into a 5 gallon pot and her final home.
60% Gaia Green Soil
20% Worm castings
20% Perlite
8 Tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose
4 Tbsp Gaia Green Power Bloom
5 Tbsp Diatomaceous Earth
1/2 Tbsp Dynomyco
Amended this mix and transplanted.
Watering day, 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 5 litres - 61.2 PPM
- Add 2.5 ml Cal-Max - 172 PPM
- Add 5 ml Supermax - 206 PPM
- Add 15 ml Miicrobial Mass - 337 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.61 PH at 337 PPM
Runoff - N/A
- Removed the LST staples to let her acclimate to her new home.
- Will resume LST in a few days.
- Removed the lowest fan leaves.
- Some leaves are funky but they also are in the way of the important growth so they may get removed in the near future.
WEDNESDAY - Day 28
16 October 24
- Just a day under the lights recovering from yesterday’s transplant and extended light hours.
- She’s perked back up and looking happy though.
- Probably resume with LST staples tomorrow.
- The tweaked branch looks like it’s going to recover just fine, just a little weary about working it too soon.
This is effectively the end of week four, it’s been quite eventful but we’re done with topping and transplanting so we’ll see how she gets on these next few weeks of pure unadulterated vegetation. Vamos!!

Starting week 1 of flower on this Forbidden Runtz Auto from FastBuds! She has been a pleasure to grow so far! She hasn't shown many signs of issues at all. She is definitely a little thirsty right now so we will take care of that immediately. More updates soon!
Day 48 we removed some dead and dying leaves from her lowers. Still growing awesome though! Haven't had to adjust the tie on her main branch or anything. She has been basically maintenance free! She even spread herself out beautifully!

I've defoliated a little as I go.
One of the watermelon candy has a flat stem (Fasciation) I've been trimming the leaves as they are growing in abundance on the affected branches.
The black orchid smells so good it's very pungent and captivating, I'm really looking forward to trying it now.

I increased feed to 1 gal when watering. I water 2 liters let her absorb that and 30 minutes or so later i give her anothet 2 liters. The small amount of run off is absorbed by the following morning. Historically my plants have drank 2 liters and yielded 57 smokaeble grams. They say the amount of consumption is an indication of estimate yield. If my hypotheses holds true, Apollo should yield about 113 grams (4oz), twice what I've accomplished in the previous grows. Fingers crossed.
Fragrance in the tent is Sweet citrus diesel smell. Gently pushing the stems down and out, my hands, arms, and fingers are sticky.
RQS says harvest at 70-75 days from seed. I think within 2 weeks for harvest. Based on 9/14 pop soil, my calendar indicates it's gonna be around the 20th. So before Thanksgiving.
