When I began the contest I had only grown Magic Melon once before (last winter), it grew in an 18 litre pot, became around 4 feet tall, and completely filled a 3'x3' tent. A friend of mine successfully grew a seed I gave them this summer in a container about 4 litres and the plant was considerably smaller. The fact that it can be successfully grown in less than 250mL is astonishing, I have buds from the one grown last winter that are bigger than the can I grew this one in. Harvested 91 days from sprout.

Vigorous Males, Strong Clones, and Bud Formation This week was full of action in the grow! Two out of the three males are in full bloom, and I’m actively collecting pollen. They are impressive plants, with strong structures and large pollen sacs. If everything stays on track, I believe the females will be ready for pollination in about a week. Observations: All 18 clones have successfully rooted! Some have already entered the vegetative stage and are receiving supplemental light at nightfall to keep their growth steady. The plants responded very well to the light defoliation I did earlier. Now, the buds are starting to take shape, showing great progress in the flowering phase. To optimize this stage, I spaced out the pots, ensuring better airflow and increased light penetration, which should support full and healthy flowering. This week, I plan to top off the pots with more substrate, ensuring the plants have enough space and nutrients to reach their full potential. Next Steps: Keep monitoring the males and collecting pollen at the right time. Watch the females closely to determine the ideal moment for planned pollinations. Observe the clones' growth and adjust care as needed. The grow is on the right track, and expectations for the coming days are high!

Happy with progress flipped the switch today

Still battling humidity although I think I have finally came up with a solution that allows my co2 too flourish as well. I connected my outlet carbon fan to my humidity control and changed my settings to the green ban of my vpd chart. I’ll keep you guys in the loop on that.

🍑 Apricot Auto – Woche 14 | Das letzte Outdoor-Kapitel 🌿🏁 Und da sind wir nun angekommen… Woche 14 und damit beim letzten regulären Wochenupdate meiner Apricot Outdoor. 🍑🌿 Was für eine Reise diese Pflanzen hinter sich haben. Wenn ich zurückblicke, wie alles angefangen hat, und sie heute mit ihren reifen Blüten, den orangefarbenen Pistillen und dieser wunderschönen Harzschicht vor mir stehen sehe, dann ist dieses letzte Update schon etwas ganz Besonderes für mich. In den vergangenen Wochen haben die Apricots noch einmal richtig schön ihre unterschiedlichen Charaktere gezeigt. Einige Blüten sind kräftig grün und unglaublich frostig geblieben, während andere wunderschöne dunkelviolette bis beinahe schwarze Farbtöne entwickelt haben – besonders an den Sugar Leaves. Zusammen mit der dicken Schicht aus Trichomen sehen einige dieser Buds im natürlichen Sonnenlicht einfach fantastisch aus. 💜❄️ Die Blüten sind inzwischen sehr schön ausgereift. Natürlich sind es nicht diese riesigen Indoor-Colas, die man unter komplett kontrollierten Bedingungen manchmal bekommt – aber genau das macht für mich den Reiz dieses Grows aus: Diese Pflanzen haben draußen gelebt. Sie haben echte Sonne bekommen, Wind erlebt, Temperaturschwankungen mitgemacht und mussten mit allem zurechtkommen, was ein richtiger Outdoor-Sommer so mit sich bringt. Und sie haben durchgezogen. 💪🌿 An den zahlreichen Ästen sitzen inzwischen überall wunderschöne, mit Harz überzogene Blüten. Gerade auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man sehr schön, wie stark mittlerweile nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die umliegenden kleinen Blätter mit Trichomen überzogen sind. 🍑✨ Was mir besonders gefällt, sind die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Blüten. Einige sind kompakt und richtig schön angeschwollen, andere zeigen diese etwas offenere typische Outdoor-Struktur. Dazu kommen einzelne Buds mit einer wunderschönen dunklen Färbung. Fast so, als würde jede Pflanze noch einmal ihre ganz eigene Interpretation dieser Genetik zeigen. In Woche 14 geht es für mich jetzt auch nicht mehr darum, die Pflanzen zu irgendetwas zu treiben. Jetzt heißt es einfach genießen, beobachten und den letzten Blüten die Zeit geben, ihre Reise zu beenden. Nach 14 Wochen ist dies deshalb der letzte reguläre Wochenbericht meiner Apricot Outdoor. Das nächste Kapitel heißt: ERNTE. ✂️🍑 Und ganz egal, was am Ende auf der Waage stehen wird – dieser Grow hat mir bereits viel mehr gegeben als nur eine Zahl. Eine komplette Outdoor-Saison, jede Menge wunderschöne Bilder und vor allem die Möglichkeit, diese Genetik vom kleinen Sämling bis hin zu einer ausgewachsenen, harzüberzogenen Pflanze unter freiem Himmel begleiten zu dürfen. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle, die diese Reise von Anfang an verfolgt haben. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Woche 14 🍑 Letzte Woche 🌿 Outdoor gewachsen ❄️ Wunderschöne Trichombedeckung 💜 Dunkle & violette Farbspiele 🧡 Viele ausgereifte orangefarbene Pistillen 🌞 Unter natürlichem Sonnenlicht gereift ✂️ Als Nächstes wartet die Ernte Ein letzter Blick auf die Apricot Girls, bevor die Schere zum Einsatz kommt. Vom Samen bis zur Blüte, vom Frühling bis in den späten Sommer… 14 Wochen Outdoor-Grow – und was für ein wunderschöner Abschluss. 🍑🌿💚 Als Nächstes: ✂️ ERNTE 🍑🏁 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑 Apricot Auto – Week 14 | The Final Outdoor Chapter 🌿🏁 And here we are… Week 14 and the final weekly update for my Apricot outdoor grow. 🍑🌿 What a journey these girls have been. Looking back at where they started and seeing them now, covered in mature flowers, orange pistils and sparkling trichomes, makes this final update something special for me. During the last weeks the Apricots have really shown their individual personalities. Some flowers stayed beautifully green and frosty, while others developed gorgeous dark purple and almost black tones, especially around the sugar leaves. Combined with the thick layer of resin, they look absolutely stunning in natural sunlight. 💜❄️ The buds have matured nicely across the plants. They may not be the gigantic indoor-style colas you sometimes see under perfect controlled conditions, but that's exactly what I love about this grow: These plants lived outside. They experienced real sun, changing temperatures, wind and everything an outdoor season brings with it — and they kept going. Several branches are now carrying a beautiful collection of resin-covered flowers, and when you get close to them you can really see how much frost has accumulated on the buds and surrounding sugar leaves. 🍑✨ One thing I especially love is the variety between the flowers. Some are chunky and compact, others have a more open outdoor structure, and a few have developed an absolutely beautiful dark phenotype. Together they make these plants look almost like a small collection of different expressions of the same genetics. For me, Week 14 isn't really about pushing them anymore. It's about appreciating what they have produced and letting the final flowers finish their journey. After 14 weeks, this will therefore be the last regular update of my Apricot outdoor diary. The next chapter will be the harvest. ✂️🍑 Whatever ends up on the scale, this grow has already given me something more important: another complete outdoor experience, lots of beautiful photographs and the chance to watch these genetics develop from tiny seedlings into mature, resin-covered plants under the open sky. A huge thank you to everyone who followed the journey from the beginning. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Week 14 🍑 Final week 🌿 Outdoor grown ❄️ Beautiful trichome coverage 💜 Gorgeous purple expressions 🧡 Mature orange pistils 🌞 Finished under natural sunlight ✂️ Harvest is next One last look at the Apricot girls before the scissors come out. From seed to flower, from spring into late summer… 14 weeks of outdoor growing — and what a beautiful way to finish. 🍑🌿💚 Next stop: ✂️ HARVEST 🍑🏁

6 days later after fish shit and plant revolution microbes 🙏🙏🙌 day 1 of flower

i had to manage to run the field with back up lights.. FCE6500 marshydro light gone stop working and the guarantee process taking too long and asking 40usd for shipping.. they said .. and it’s a tiring process and i haven’t got it yet! but the yield is something good except they didn’t get full potential light power as fce6500 failed its duty and warranty process is taking more than a month. tiring!!!

The girl is progressing well. She is receiving around 25 DLI of light. I did a topping.

The first in breaking the shield was the pheno number 2 on this pair of jack orange! Let's see how they keep developing!! Out of the 2 seeds that I started only one was good and I decided to discard the #1 because of a deformation or a genetic fail. So I just kept #2, hope you like this strain!

42 days!!!! the girl looks very good :) she is already blooming :) the girl drinks every other day with 6.3 ph water and biobizz nutrients, next week I will give her more than 1000ppm :) she must like it :) so far very nice growth @FastBuds as always never ceases to amaze :) good luck to everyone.

Wir befinden uns in der 7ten Woche. Der aktuelle Stand der Ladys, links hinten die Tropicana Cookies -rechts daneben die Guava - Front die Banana Purple Punch. Viel Spaß beim grow und bleibt gesund Growmies

First week I hadn’t used any nutes and just basically water when dry. Kept the humidity domes on for a bit but that’s basically it at this point.

- Ich hab die erste Woche des Biobizz Allmix Düngeschemas gestartet und gebe wie immer erstmal vorsichtige 100%, da meine Erde an sich durch den Kompost recht potent sein sollte. - Außerdem hab ich mit meinem Calmag-Rechner mein Leitungswasser angepasst. Die Werte könnt ihr auf den Bildern sehen. - Den PH-Wert passe ich ebenfalls auf 6,5 an.# - Die Lampe bringt zur Zeit etwa einen PPFD-Wert von 350 - 360 µmol/s/m² bei 18 Stunden Beleuchtungszeit (DLI von 22 - 23 mol/d/m²). Sie wird aber nur eingesetzt bis es warm genug draußen bleibt. Tagsüber stehen sie jetzt schon draußen, sofern es nicht regnet oder stürmt. Die Tropicana Cookies macht sich hervorragend und sie ist sehr uniform mit den anderen Fastbuds Strains bis jetzt. Sieht gut aus finde ich 💪😁👍 YT: www.youtube.com/@High-And-Hydro

Questa panty punch inizia a ingrossare i fiorellini.bene bene... Ancora non si sentono profumi ma la prossima settimana esploderà di buoni odori in tutto il box😜💪👍
