Week 5: Pre-Flower Surge and Canopy Management Update: 27.06 2025 | Day 45 Consistent 32°C+ temperatures require watering every 2-3 days as roots fully occupy the 15L pots. Slow, edge-focused watering ensures lower soil activation without runoff. Strain Progress: Forbidden Runtz She's showing the furthest progress. Colas start to form and I only bend down branches that overshadow other parts of the plant. The smell develops a distinct fruity scent just by rubbing the stems. Can't wait for the full bloom aroma. This girl appears to be a definite winner in all aspects. Bruce Banner She's really pulling off the growth show now! Keeping up feels demanding - bending every new shoot while managing space constraints around the fabric pot. From above, numerous bud sites emerge through the canopy. The structure shows incredible potential - imagining this genetic as a photoperiod tree excites future plans. FastBuds delivers impressive genetics. Green Crack Last week's prediction holds true: overdrive mode engaged! While not matching Bruce's pace, she's nearly caught Forbidden Runtz in size. Within 48 hours, white pistils transformed nodes into defined bud sites. Strategic tie-downs on dominant tops redirected energy to younger shoots, creating a balanced canopy. Environmental Management: - Greenhouse humidity stabilized (25-28°C) - Evening watering with temperature-matched water - Zero runoff maintained to preserve soil biology Next Priorities: - Apply Bokashi juice (1:100) - microbes will activate Biotabs nutrients - Continue selective LST adjustments - Monitor lower canopy light penetration - Sniff aroma development daily The real bud porn begins when colas start stacking - patience and observation now pay dividends later. Catch ya next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Week 1 (16/03 - 22/03) D1: prepared a 14 liters pot with a layer of gravel at bottom surronded by light-mix soil by BioBizz. Given her a glass of tap water. At the moment she will stay in the living room near a window prior to move her outside on the balcony. D2: added a support to avoid drop, hoping it will be useless... Given her a glass of tap water in the morning, covered at night. D3: glass of tap water in the morning; out on the balcony in the afternoon for her first sunbath; inside for the night. D4: glass of tap water in the morning. Living room all day. D5: - D6: glass of tap water. D7: -

It is an excellent variety, with two different phenotypes, one more elongated and the other more stocky. The flavor is reminiscent of Tangilope and King Kush (smells like the urine of a green bug). The production in dried buds was 125 g per plant and pots of 20 l / 5 gal).

She has become a beautiful little bush full of fat dense nuggets completely covered in fruity and sweet resin glands with some purple no tones in the buds. Love It!

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. Got the girls out to the greenhouse this weekend. And the guys too. Repotted the 6 females into the big pots. And training has started already with the metal rods to hold down the long branches. For each pot I mixed 4 gallons of soilless soil and 2 gallons of compost and 1 gallon of perlite/vermiculite. That filled each pot about 3/4 full. After transplanting I filled up the top 1/4 with the soilless soil. All the pots got about the same amount of soil within 1 Liter +/- The plants did well being bent into place. I broke 1/2 of plant #6's mainline. Wrapped twine around the brake and bent the branch over the bar and held it in place with a metal rod. That will work for me. You can see in the picture. I'll give a bit more water later today but with the compost the plants will have enough food for a while, so I won't have to feed for a while. I'm still planning to start flowering around June 1st to Aug 15 or so, to take advantage of the strong summer sun. These plants should take off once they get a taste of the compost. Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

Woche 14 – Aus drei werden eins 🍑🌿🌿🌿 Diese Woche zeigt mir die Apricot endgültig, warum dieses Outdoor-Projekt für mich etwas Besonderes geworden ist. Was einmal als drei einzelne Apricot Autos begonnen hat, sieht inzwischen aus wie eine einzige große Pflanze. Durch das Training und die Verteilung der Triebe haben sich die drei Pflanzen zu einem gemeinsamen Blütendach entwickelt. Überall ragen Tops aus der Struktur heraus – und inzwischen geht es nicht mehr darum, neue Fläche aufzubauen. Jetzt geht es um Blütenmasse. Und genau da hat sich seit dem letzten Update einiges getan. Die einzelnen Buds beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen und die Blütenstände werden zunehmend kompakter. Besonders schön finde ich, dass sich die Entwicklung nicht nur auf die obersten Colas beschränkt. Auch weiter unten sitzen zahlreiche gut entwickelte Blüten, wodurch die gesamte Pflanze inzwischen regelrecht mit Budsites übersät ist. ❄️ Der Frost kommt Die Nahaufnahmen zeigen momentan wohl am besten, wohin die Reise geht. Die Trichomproduktion nimmt richtig Fahrt auf. Nicht nur die Blüten selbst, sondern auch die umliegenden Sugar Leaves sind inzwischen mit einer deutlich sichtbaren Harzschicht bedeckt. In der direkten Sonne funkeln manche Tops fast, als hätte jemand feinen Zucker darüber gestreut. Gleichzeitig beginnen einige Blüten, erste dunklere und leicht violett-rötliche Farbtöne zu entwickeln. Zwischen dem kräftigen Grün und der hellen Harzschicht entstehen dadurch immer mehr kleine Farbkontraste. Und genau auf diese Phase habe ich gewartet. 😍 🌿 Drei Pflanzen – drei Charaktere Obwohl die drei Apricots gemeinsam wie eine einzige Pflanze wirken, zeigen sich bei genauerem Hinsehen durchaus Unterschiede. Einige Triebe bauen etwas länglichere, stärker gestapelte Blüten auf, während andere Tops kompakter und gedrungener erscheinen. Auch bei der Farbentwicklung und Harzmenge zeigen sich erste kleine Unterschiede. Gerade das macht dieses Projekt für mich so spannend: Drei Samen derselben Genetik – gemeinsam trainiert, unter denselben Bedingungen – und trotzdem darf jede Pflanze ihren eigenen Charakter zeigen. ☀️ Outdoor bedeutet echte Natur Kein perfekt kontrollierter Indoor-Raum. Keine konstanten Bedingungen. Sonne, Wolken, Wind, Temperaturschwankungen und alles, was ein echter Sommer mit sich bringt. Und trotzdem stehen die drei Apricots hier mit einer erstaunlich vitalen Struktur. Die Blätter arbeiten weiterhin kräftig, die Äste tragen inzwischen eine ordentliche Menge Blüten und die Pflanzen konzentrieren ihre Energie sichtbar immer stärker auf die Budproduktion. Genau das liebe ich an Outdoor-Grows: Man kontrolliert nicht alles. Man arbeitet mit der Natur. 🍑 Jetzt beginnt meine Lieblingsphase Von hier an wird jeder Tag interessanter. Die Grundstruktur der Blüten steht. Jetzt dürfen die Kelche weiter anschwellen, die Buds dichter werden, die Harzschicht dicker werden und die Farben langsam ihren Weg durch die Pflanze finden. Wenn die Apricots in diesem Tempo weitermachen, könnten die letzten Wochen optisch noch einmal richtig spektakulär werden. Drei Pflanzen. Ein gemeinsames Blütendach. Unzählige Budsites. Und langsam verwandelt sich das ganze Ding in eine frostige Apricot-Wand. 🍑❄️ To be continued… 💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEEK 14 – THREE BECOME ONE 🍑🌿🌿🌿 This week the Apricots are finally showing me why this outdoor project has become something very special. What started as three individual Apricot Autos now almost looks like one single massive plant. Through training and spreading the branches, all three plants have grown together into one shared flowering canopy. Tops are appearing everywhere – and at this point the mission is no longer about creating more structure. Now it's all about building flowers. And there has been a noticeable change since the previous update. The individual buds are starting to swell and the flower clusters are becoming increasingly substantial. What I particularly like is that this development isn't limited to the highest colas. There are well-developed flowers deeper throughout the structure as well, making the whole canopy look increasingly packed with bud sites. ❄️ The frost is coming The close-ups probably tell the story better than anything else this week. Trichome production is really starting to accelerate. It's no longer restricted to the flowers themselves – the surrounding sugar leaves are becoming visibly coated as well. Under direct sunlight some of these tops already sparkle like they've been dusted with sugar. At the same time, several flowers are beginning to show subtle darker, reddish and purple tones, creating beautiful little contrasts between the green foliage and the increasingly bright resin coverage. This is exactly the stage I've been waiting for. 😍 🌿 Three plants – three personalities Although the three Apricots now appear to be one giant plant from a distance, looking closer reveals subtle differences between them. Some branches are developing slightly longer, stacked flowers, while others are producing more compact-looking tops. Small differences are also starting to appear in coloration and resin production. And that's one of my favorite parts of this project: Three seeds from the same genetics, trained together and grown under the same conditions – yet each plant is still allowed to show its own personality. ☀️ This is real outdoor growing There is no perfectly controlled indoor environment here. Sunshine, clouds, wind, temperature swings and everything else a real summer decides to throw at them. Yet these three Apricots continue to maintain an impressive structure. The foliage is still working hard, the branches are now carrying a serious number of flowers and the plants are visibly directing more and more of their energy toward bud production. That's exactly what I love about outdoor growing. You don't control everything. You work together with nature. 🍑 My favorite part is beginning From this point forward, every day becomes more interesting. The foundation of the flowers is established. Now it's time for the calyxes to swell, the buds to become denser, the resin layer to get heavier and the colors to slowly work their way through the flowers. If these Apricots continue developing at this pace, the final part of this journey could become something really beautiful. Three plants. One shared canopy. Bud sites everywhere. And slowly the whole thing is turning into a frosty wall of Apricot. 🍑❄️ To be continued… 💚

Girls well into pre-flower. Saw some nute burn from last feeding so backed off and just watered with ph balanced water and small dose of calmag. Small defoil of the bottom fans and small off chutes.

the time is finally here, super OG was harvested (during a tornado warning at that😂) and she's currently drying in a 2x4 tent waiting to be cured. this is so surreal and we couldn't be happier over here! didn't get a wet weight but will get a dry one eventually.

1/11/25 these two phenos are literally the complete opposites. i labeled them from most sativa looking seedling, to the most indica looking. i believe #1 to be the closest to the mimosa parent and #5 may be the closest to the king kush parent. im not positive on this but one things for sure is that these are the most dramatically different phenos out of my 5 seeds. everything else kinda feel somewhere in the middle. its interesting and so far, every pheno has been something great. 1/12/25 checked the trichomes well today. #1 is interesting, she has a mix of clear and amber but not very many of them are cloudy. #5 has about 50/50 clear cloudy.

Start of 12/12 light cycle, round 2 with the citrus skunk strain. Increased feeding to 6L per plant (water + nutes), hopefully this increase will keep the plants healthier throughout the grow.

Constant feed seems to produce big plants. Cost more that's for sure. We will see if it pays off in the long run. I have to say that the smells that are coming out of my tent is fire. So berry lemonade kush and ⛽ couldn't of asked for anything more. Can't wait to see what my weight is going to be off my first 4. I'm guessing close to 3 to 3.5 lbs. Next week I will have some trimmed up with some pictures.

Day 79, 28th of November 2020: Hi there! Here we go let's say half way. Plants are pretty these Original Sensible Seeds genetics are fantastic! The 2 OG and the Runtz Gum is very strechy. Black Ghost is pretty shorter bushier plant. Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG approx the same height Do-Si-Dos OG is taller a bit. Wedding Gelato is really cool little, bushy anf nice buds forming not problem with her all she is quiet. Do-Si-Dos OG has some deficiency and leaf gets dry but nothing very serious..... Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Nice growth out of these girls in their first 9 days above soil. The Dinafem Critical+ is larger out of the gate, but the Blackberry is showing signs of catching up towards the end of the week. I also notice twisted/wrinkled looking leaves on the Blackberry, but that seems to be common with purple strains at this age. They did need a little water near the end of the week, I added some Recharge to the water and the next day I saw noticeable growth in both girls. It could be coincidence since rapid growth at this age is expected, but I've never had any bad experiences with Recharge. Looking forward to the progress this upcoming week! Keep on growing!!!
