Fall is coming... After finishing stretch last week, the introduction of Hy-Pro Epic Bloom really got the bud production going. Mimosa stem is covered in trichomes, Blueberry is showing beautiful colors and Jack Herer is bulking. Everything is going as planned so far. Not that much to do at this point. Following my Hy-Pro nutrient scheme makes it just super easy, to turn those plants into the most beautiful ones, i ever grew. Just like last week, i fed them the following: Hy-Pro Terra: 4,5ml/l (component nutrients) Hy-Pro Generator: 0.16ml/l Hy-Pro Cal-mag: 4ml/l Hy-Pro Epic Bloom: 0,5ml/l EC: 1,8 VPD: 1,40 PPFD: 930 ยตmol/mยฒ/s Blueberry and Mimosa Evo are showing some very characteristic colouring. I am very happy, to see this. Can't wait to see them in full colouration. It really is a Joy, to watch them change colours so rapidly, you can see differences every day. Pure plant entertainment. Stay tuned! Grow strong, Friends! ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

Had an unexpected 50 mph thunderstorm strike last Tuesday. It broke one Sour Strawberry plant in half. The RuntzLayerCake was bent over thirty degrees. Many limbs broken and bent on the plants. I had to duct tape several main stems as youโ€™ll see in the video. The four caged plants proved stability for the others. Second grow. Lesson learned. All the plants are now trussed with string and are very healthy. Thanks for looking in this week, and let me know your thoughts.

14/08/2023 Nothing special to mention at the beginning of this week, except my new heat/humidity detector, which is actually an old device I found. I came across it because my little one doesn't seem very reliable anymore(As you can see on a picture it say 69% while the other big one say 45%). Still no nutriments, just water with pH-. And I think I won't make any more changes until the final weeks, when I'll probably trim a maximum of leaves. 17/08/2023 I redid the LST for number 3, without knowing what I was doing, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but I'm pretty happy with the result. The canopy of #3 looks really good, even though the overall canopy is quite uneven. However, doing the LST on all 4 plants intimidated me way too much. So I changed the position of each plant so that they wouldn't encroach too much on each other; I only have a space of 60cmx60cm.

Hello Growers and Tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ PURPS ARE HERE TO STAY OH YAY!! Thinking about changing the title of this diary to that right there.. Like i said last week, purps are here to stay, nugs are 100% all purple though leaves are green. The smell has really come in this week. In spain we call this the Cali aroma, that high grade aroma. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Kind of bummed that the buds aren't as big as I imagined but then again I wasn't expecting the purps so yeah, you get what you get I guess... They are getting a bit denser, so that's nice. Things are running smoothly.. In flower I use Enzymes once every 10 days or so to help out with the roots.. That's it.. hope you like the content. Pictures were taken on day 42. If so then check out the other diaries i've got going in the same tent. Take care out there! One love!

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹ Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test ๐Ÿ‘Œ Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds ๐Ÿ˜ smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’š FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Mid week update: did the defoliation over a couple of days. she looks gooood. so many lovely buds. Stretch started this week! waaaaattttt. she's once again one BUSHY lady. was advised to limit pruning once flowering started, but things are getting out of control ๐Ÿ˜‚. think i'm going to have to do some ladyscaping as a mid week update. Slow growth as expected with the lower set point on the reservoir temp (19 C) - as a result of a slight smell. still has the smell, but nothing in the water on on the sides of the reservoir so not going to worry for now. Bought another air stone and need to install ASAP. SO many roots and with sooooo much volume that the one stone just gets swamped. pretty impressive root system. Shout out to all the growmies that have helped me on this journey. Things are good.

The summer was super wet and humid so she lost 2 of the big buds to mold. Other than that she did great! really big, vigorous and heavy, dense buds. All arround winner. Really looking forward to the seeds. These plants are not mine. I am just documenting them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40โ‚ฌ -Timer: 3,5โ‚ฌ -Pot: 4โ‚ฌ -Total fixed costs: 47,5โ‚ฌ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17โ‚ฌ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 13,17โ‚ฌ -Soil: 6โ‚ฌ -Fertilizer: 3,50โ‚ฌ -Power (100 days 18h/day): ~25,92โ‚ฌ (exact figure after harvest) -Total variable costs: ~38,59โ‚ฌ -Total costs per grow: ~51,76โ‚ฌ

Alweer het einde van week 3 bereikt zonder problemen. Na de snoei aan het begin van de week, hadden de dames zich de volgende alweer hersteld en waren de topjes alweer fors groter. Ik ben echt tevreden over de genetica van de Powerplants. Ze drinken inmiddels ook veel meer bij de 0,5 liter per dag staan de potten de dag eropgewoon weer droog! De voeding gaat naaar e.c. 1.8 en ik voeg op iedere 10 liter ook 10 ml (Fmax) xl cell bij. Ik ben benieuwd of er mensen ervaring hebben met een hogere dosering? Antwoorden graag in de comments! Ik had nog wat spiegeltjes over en die heb ik maar aan het cob frame bevestigd om het strooilicht terug te kaatsen. Baad het niet, dan schaad het niet zeg maar. Ook de ventilatie een upgrade gegeven met een grote zwenk ventilator aan het plafond. Ik ga denk ik ook maat wat roof wantsen aanschaffen als pestcontrol, voordat ik last krijg van ongenodigde bezoekers!

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 hereโ€”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 plantโ€”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.

Hello growers and tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ Hows everyone doing? Hope things are great. Another week of flower for this balcony girl. Since week 8 of flower she's been stretching 10 cm a week. This past week she only grew 5cm so I'm sure the flower stretch is over and she'll start focusing her energy on growing those buds. I'm feeding every other day still and the same amount. Only feeding bloom nutrients and in a week or so I'll start adding an organic PK booster. She got stressed again this week, the weather has been really sketchy lately.. sunny, cloudy, stormy, windy... all that in the same day ๐Ÿ˜‚ So I'm doing my best to make her feel comfortable in the midst of all this weather. Some nights I mover inside in case it suddenly starts raining.. There's also less direct sunlight. Other than that things are fine, she's starting to get trichomes on some bud sites and starting to give off a nice little smell. Have to keep her save for these final and key weeks! Take care and stay safe! One love! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ
