26.12.24: These are my 2 best plants P1 and P2 Purple Punch, they are looking great! Not sure what happened to P3. They are in early flower/ pre-flower with the pistils clearly seen on P2. I am also hoping to tie some of the branches down to help light penetration on the lower canopies. I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Moving into Week 6, and I have to admit, the weather has not been on our side. We saw very little sun this week, and for two nights, the temperatures actually dropped below that dreaded 10°C mark. Despite the chilly nights and lack of rays, the girls powered through and developed pretty well all things considered. They are definitely proving their resilience! Training: 🌿 I kept things mostly hands-off this week. For the plants undergoing LST, I only made some very light adjustments to maintain the canopy structure, but otherwise, I stepped back and let them focus their energy on flowering. Feeding Strategy – The Bloom Push: Since the flowering phase is well underway, it was time to update the menu and give them the fuel they need to build those buds. I've added CalMag to the tap water for all four plants, but the main meals have officially diverged for the bloom stretch: Team Organic: Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze received their very first dose of BioBizz Bio Bloom. The slow-release EPN fertilizer did its job perfectly through veg, but now it's time for that organic bloom boost. Team Mineral: Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner have successfully transitioned to the Hesi Bloom fertilizer to push flower production. Current Standings: 📏 Lemon Cherry Cookies: Still ruling the roost and reaching for the sky at 69cm. Bruce Banner: Stretching out nicely and currently sitting at 48cm. Amnesia Haze & Banana Purple Punch: Holding steady right around the 40cm mark. The LST is keeping them nice and compact while they focus on bud development. Let's hope Mother Nature finally decides to bring the heat and consistent sunshine back so these ladies can really start stacking up those flowers.

Auto pots are on. Reservoir is at EC 2.2 and ph 5.5 SF2000 light 24 inches above plants 100% added 1ml of calmag per litre on day 19 Day 13 - raised lights to 36 inches. At 100% PPFD of around 600. Plants started reacting very well.

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights and the tall one is still stretching a little bit. I sure hate to have to supercrop her too...my garden is looking so wild and untamed already...😳 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...the taller plant grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... These two plants couldn't be more different. One twisted-leaf 2-footer that started budding up in the first week of flower, and one beautiful 4-footer that's been very slow to flower.. The structure on the taller/sativa-looking plant is very promising, though...many long colas, and stacking up well...👌 I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that the big one will hurry the fuck up and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point... I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The tall one grew another inch...i threatened to bind her up like one of Silky_Smooth's plants if she didn't stop growing immediately. If she doesn't start budding up with serious urgency, she's gonna piss me off...my Spring auto grow must not be postponed! 2/23: I ordered some terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..

As promised — I fixed everything, dialed it in 🙂 Plants are doing great now, growing fast and looking healthy. You often see people asking: “My runoff pH keeps dropping, what should I do?” I used to recommend increasing potassium, even though at that point it was just a theoretical assumption — I hadn’t actually tested it yet. Well… now I have. And it works. Situation: Input pH is stable around ~5.8, but runoff pH keeps dropping over time (in my case down to 5.2, even 4.7 on one plant). At the same time, EC is either dropping or at least not increasing. I tried light flushing — yes, it helps temporarily, but: Only short-term — next day pH drops again Adds unnecessary stress to the plant (basically suffocating the roots) Solution: Increase potassium. First, I boosted it by about +50%, then added another +30% on top of that. Example: I had ~2 ml per 10L → increased to 4 ml → after 2 days up to 5.5 ml of Canna Mono K. It took about 3 days to stabilize — runoff pH went back up to ~5.7–6.0. If you’re using base nutrients: Just get some Canna Mono K — it’s made exactly for situations like this. Yeah, I know I’m basically mixing my whole solution around it, even though Canna says you can’t build a complete feed with it alone — but in practice, it works for me. Also, side note — now 10L lasts me about 2 days. And that’s it for veg — switched to 12/12 on day 36.

APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER WEEK #14 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER This her final week she's got some milky colored trichomes. Her buds are nice and dense to the touch leaves are fading all the signs she's done. She's been easy to grow and manage no major issues through her grow!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU GANJA FARMER!! GANJA FARMER APRICOT GORILLA AUTO

The 2 GSC extreme and one of the GG4 got harvested this morning Dec 20th. The rest are a week or two behind.

I continued like normal with the feed expect for one day which I just put pH correct water in the tank as I saw I little nutrition burn on the leaf tips. The temperature was difficult to maintain so I added a fan adjuster so I could regulate it easier.

Letzte Woche Samstag habe ich das Licht auf 12-12 umgestellt also startete die Woche am Montag mit dem dritten Tag der Blütephase. Läuft bis jetzt immer noch alles sehr gut, hoffen wir es bleibt dabei. Ende der Woche erstes Video hinzugefügt. :)

Only given water up till now. I've repoted them all together into a 10ltr pot so will still only give water for now. Two look red /purple but the other two are all green still,. There growing nice and easy ✌️ 😎

Hello everyone 😎 Day 30 she grew fast with a great structure and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves. She is responding superbly to topping and Ist aswell growing like nothing has been done to her! Have a great day 👨‍🌾🏻

Welcome Back!💚 Die dritte Blütewoche ist ins Land gezogen und die Blütenbildung setzt nun richtig ein. Langsam bilden sich die Blütenköpfe richtig aus und zeigen ihre Wuchsform. Es entwickelt sich ein süßes fruchtiges Aroma, welches sich aber noch nicht auf den beschriebenen Geschmack zuschreiben lässt. Der Stretch hat nochmal knappe 7 cm an Wuchshöhe gebracht und dürfte jetzt aber vorbei sein. Die Werte im Zelt sind nochmal an die Blütenbedingungen angepasst worden. ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 48% VPD: 1,21 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

I'm making a little contest in my grow room 6 ladies + one which will go outside 2 types of nutrients 3 different strains for each nutrient type 2x gorilla glue by fast buds 2x BlackBerry by fast buds 2x white widow auto by RQS +1 outsider (in a month or smth. It's my first grow ever, waiting for your comments and tips I Want to grow 1 type of each strain with use of green planet nutrients and one with nutrients from RQS just to see if the price of product really corresponds to its quality and is it really worth to pay more and lose so much time for preparing the right solution. there is 3 days of difference between 3 first ladies (2x GG + BlackBerry) and both White widow's and another 1 day to second BlackBerry and another one day for the WW which will go outside. ;) It means the first ladies already had full 5 days of light before the last girl came to tent :)

Really easy strain, grew super well despite my battling to balance the ph, changing of lights and a massive temperature/humidity spike. Looks good and smells strong. Looking forward to the next grow.

She still develops great and looks beautiful. DoSiDos Day 60 Woche 9 Tag 4 in Blütewoche 4 4l Wasser mit: 2ml Bio Grow 2ml Sugar Royal 6ml Bio Bloom 3ml Power Buds 6ml Alga Bloom 2ml Green Sensation 2ml CalMag
