Acapulco Gold has been forming some promising looking buds 馃憣
I have had to increase waterings this week as the plant is becoming increasingly thirsty. The branches are very heavy for the plant now, and they're beginning to buckle under the weight, so I might have to stake the plant. Because it's got so big now.
I turn the plant round each day to evenly distribute light. It's become difficult due to the bendyness of the plant now, so I have to be very careful now whenever I move it.
The plant has done really well this week, actually, and hopefully, we can be done in the next few weeks, which would be great.
This has been the fastest and biggest plant I have grown yet. I'm very impressed.
I have increased the waterings and am trying to give correct nutrients.
However, I am also using Ecothrive dry amendments as always, and because of this, I don't know how many nutrients to add.
The plant is so big now, I don't think I am feeding enough.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Leave it in the comments 馃榿
I am having trouble assessing the nutrient requirements as the plant has always been a light green, but it is really beginning to go yellow.
Here is what I did this week.
12.9.25
I top dressed the plant with Ecothrive dry amendments.
The following amounts were used for this 8 Gallon pot;
馃挌1 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle
馃挌1 TBSP Ecothrive Bloom
馃挌 2 TBSP Diatomaceous Earth
Here is what I did this week.
12.9.25:
I watered the top dress in, with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with;
馃挏 2 TSP Sea K
馃挏 2 TSP Biosys
馃挏 8ml Trace
PH: 6.0
PPM: 597
13.9.25:
I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.9 with;
馃挏 .5 TSP Bud Explosion
PH: 5.9
PPM: 678
15.9.25:
I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 with;
馃挏 1 TSP Bud Explosion
馃挏 1 TSP Sea K
馃挏 8ml Trace
馃挏 1 TSP Biosys
PH: 6.1
PPM: 685
16.9.25:
I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 With;
馃挏 7ml Trace
馃挏 2 TSP Sea K
PH: 6.4
PPM: 552
The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent.
I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days.
Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm.
Thanks very much for checking out my diary this week and for hanging out in the comments. Advice or encouragement is appreciated. It's been a fun week! 馃榿馃挌馃馃尡馃憣馃А

This week I transplanted them from the AC Infinity Seed Starter to their 5 gal grow bag or their final pot! I like to make my own super soil out of Root Organics Formula 707, Coco Coir, Perlite, Vermiculite, and amendments. Then I placed a hole in the middle of the 5 gal grow bag, for the plant being transplanted, and placed the young seedling into the hole. Then I lightly covered around the base of the young seedling. Then I watered with 250mL of pH balanced H20! From there that's it just checking on it daily and watering as needed daily with plain pH balanced H20. Then I amended the soil with 4-4-4, 4-6-3, Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. Then I gave nutrients every other day. First General Hydroponics MaxiGrow then plain pH balanced H20 the next day. Then amended the soil as noted above. Then plain pH balanced H20 the next day. Then I would feed The Stash Blend and then plain pH balanced H20. Then the General Hydroponics MaxiGrow and then plain pH balanced H20. Then Real Growers Soil Recharge and finally plain pH balanced H20 to finish the week off. I always pH at 6.0 for nutrient solutions and 6.8 for my plain pH balanced H20. My temps for solutions were 72掳 and ppm was 800-850 with EC 1600-1700. I always use my oxygenated H20 that is monitored by a professional meter and so are it's levels! I have oxygenated H2O with a pump ready to go at all times! This way I can just scoop up the water and go on demand without having to worry! All and all they're growing well and gaining a ton daily!!

This strain was a lot of fun to grow, Training was easy, it responded well and rolled with the punches, She was CalMag hungry as that as my only noted deficiency.
She was chopped at day 69, would have been 70 but I had mothers day plans with the Ol' lady. The wet weight is everything but the bigger fan leaves (larf galore) I had so much trim. I love the smell I loved growing it, but I do not like how airy the buds turned out, I use quality LEDs and have a white widow in another journal that grew along side it under the same conditions, even the same trainings to the point where there structured extremely similarly, and the White Widow is ROCK SOLID.
BUT with that being said, the trichome production was very nice, the sugar leaves will leave me with a lot of hash (half the buds were considered larf but were so sticky and covered in trichomes) and the smell is very sweet, berries and a hint of lemonaid and must. Keep in mind this is a taste after just a couple days of drying a sample bud and no cure. Overall its definitely smokable ill probably give some out but I would rather keep the airy stuff for me to smoke/process because I love it all.
I am currently taking the week as a T-break so I can give everyone here a proper smoke report, including myself.
Dry bud weight is only 51g BUT all the trim did get me a couple of grams, probably 3 of some incredible hash, The Hash taste like blueberry pie and a glass of lemonaid, the flower is similar but with a bit of a musky punch, the high hit me straight in the head and had me laughing at myself for getting so stoned, literally all i wanted was that pie and lemonaid that's all that I had on my mind. after a bit it mellowed out into a nice relaxing sativa feel, I wasn't nearly as full of energy but I was by no means tired either.

Hope yall had a good week! The girls sure did. Everyday I take a peek and do my daily watering and they're bigger than the day before. Upped the PPM's to ~400 this week, kept the pH at 6.0, and upped the Calmag. Also picked up "B-52" for some root health. Gonna use it on some other plants in the house as well (I grow veggies hydroponically year round). The plants are starting to give off an odor if you smell them up close, pretty neat. Work was a bitch this week so I missed one day of watering, flushed the plants and seems no damage done. Don't wanna make many mistakes like that but its bound to happen.
Here's my boring daily notes for those interested. Have a good weekend and I'll see ya next week.
------
9/8/2020 - Now that the plants have a proper root system and a stronger stem, I aimed the clip on fan at the plants on low. Humidifier is getting annoying to fill everyday, looking forward to when i can dial it down a bit.
PPM - Inflow: 350 - Outflow: 423
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - 6.1
10/8/2020 - /
PPM - Inflow: 350 - Outflow: 440
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - 6.1
11/8/2020 - /Missed/
12/8/2020 - forgot to water yesterday (16 hour shift). Went about 18 hours between waterings. The coco was kinda dry so I flushed it first with ph 6.0 water (120ml) - then watered the usual amount (75ml) The outflow numbers were acceptable so no damage done hopefully.
PPM - Inflow: 398 - Outflow: 460
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - 6.0
13/8/2020 - /
PPM - Inflow: 390 - Outflow: 454
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - 6.1
14/8/2020 - Bought b52 by advanced nutrients. Suppose to assist root and stem growth, got it really cheap at the hydroponics store.
PPM - Inflow: 398 - Outflow: forgot to test
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - forgot to test
15/8/2020 - Final day of the week, wiped down the walls and bottom of the tent w/ vinegar&water solution. Cleaned the humidifier. Going to be topped early next week. Wife's digging the grow so far so good brownie points ;). See yall next week
PPM - Inflow: 402 - Outflow: 446
pH - Inflow 6.0 - Outflow - 6

Harvest day was 89.
Short: Frosty plant, density is lacking, lots of leafs, some mutation, slow growing but big in the end, smells good skunky fruity for now, will update after cure.
I have to compare this one to my other plant the Ultra G13 and Brain Freeze lacks a lot.
It grows kinda slow, buds are not nearly as dense, trimming was horrible, overall I would say 50/50 fluffy/dense compared to the Ultra G13 85% dense and 15% kinda but not really fluffy in the same system under the same conditions.
Total wet yield is just fine, can't say anything bad about that, this is limited by my tent, would have gotten more with this plant as a solo one in the 2x4.
Managed to get the Net Cup out of the tube compared to the Ultra G13 which I had to saw of.
Overall I would say a plant one can do but nothing to chase for, might update that after cure who knows.
Update: dried weight is 280g total, 50/50 dense and fluffy buds but all are frosty, smells like sweet candy, overall a great yield that I did not expect, was kinda stressed with this one since it only came to its potential in the last few weeks but it did came. Will not grow it again in the near future but maybe some time later.
Did bake some brownies with it but didn't count how much so I did not add that to the total yield.

We are in week five. I was a little embarrassed because my girls reacted to the stress by shrinking. Now the situation is perhaps consolidated and we are gaining weight. They will be such tiny beauties, I really hope.
pH still unstable (5-6), EC of rainwater supplemented with a mix of organic fertilizers to a value of min. 1.2-1.6
The girls look healthy so I cuted some leafs but only so much, as the all tops have good position for light source.

I was growing in closets with the doors open - not a very sealed or sterile environment. I saw some dirt/debris on the leaves so I gave them all a preemptive bath with insecticidal soap just in case it was an early sign of an infestation

After looking at things this morning have decided to start moving the FFT9 and FFT11 to flush.
Begin slowly cutting Bloom nuets tomorrow for those two so we can start flush at week's end.

Day 14 flower
Hey Growers
So day 14 of flower, I decided to defoliate as the tent was getting so overgrown. They are drying out quickly and the media is dense with roots. They are going to require daily watering very shortly. They seem quite happy and doing well. You can see in one of the pictures, the leaf edge is raised, which idk exactly what that is. I鈥檝e decreased the light to 70% until I know how they鈥檒l react.
Other than that just put in the trellis to support the tops.
Happy Growing 馃尡

Harvest pics.
In the glass jar is pineapple gummy. Same breeder as the lilt. I forgot that I popped one of these seeds it was the last from the pack. The hanging dry pic is the rest of the pineapple gummy it was close to the gavita light and was very hairy. The big top next to it is the top of the lilt plant grown under the mars hydro 150w led light. When the feds choped it all down the lilt was given an extra week than the top which was cut off im absolutely pissed about that I didnt use a carbon filter I think the smell got a bit too strong will be back soon live and learn

This week the blooming process started. All clones streched qute high already. Bented them under the scrog. The main-linig S.A.D. seems to look good as well.
