D19 (10/12/2020): Beginning of week 3. I saw little yellow/brown spot on big leaves and new leaves, I need to check this closely. I fed with half of the recommended dose but 1.5-1.75L of water per plant. I was giving 1L max and I think it was not enough for the size of my pots. RH of the grow tent is now down at 60%. - temps: 26C - water: PH6.3, PPM: 410 - RH: 60% D20 (11/12/2020): Today I saw thrips larva crawling on a leaf (see video above). That confirm my problem is not a nutrients deficiency. I know how I got them and it's a rookie mistake from me. At the beginning of my grows, I placed a plant in my tent that was originally outdoor during fall. I did not think that it would be infested with bugs. I removed it when I saw a little bugs fly in my tent but the damage was probably already done. I read about thrips and you can get rid of them if you act fast and soon in the infestation. I will go to my local horticulture store today and ask advices and ways to exterminated them. I'm a newbie in growing cannabis (plants in general) and I want the best for my plants. I'm learning from my mistake and that's what I like! Overall, both plants are growing fast and they react really well to LST. I readjust the tie 2-3x a day because the small leaves are growing so fast! - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 60% D21 (12/12/2020): I bought insecticidal soap and gave a treatment. RH is now at 55% and that increases air flow. -temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D22 (13/12/2020): The lamp is now 100% and at 28inch form the plants. They received 430 PPFD (33 000 lux). Temperature is under control around 26C with a new oscillating fan place on the floor. This air flow will help against bugs. LST continue every day to expose new leaves. I gave water with only Max Minerals. - temp: 26.5C - water: PH6.4, PPM: 275, approx.: 1,75L per plant - RH: 55% D23 (14/12/2020): LST continue, I try to bend one branch every day and readjust the other ones. I did not see more bugs but some of the new leaves are affected so I know they are still there. I ordered nematodes to help me prevent new larvae. They are suppose to arrive in two days. - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D24 (15/12/2020): I removed leaves at the bottom of the pants last night. Probably 3-4 leaves per plant that were not receiving light. This morning I can see that it gave a good boost on the new leaves! Continuing LST as usual. The nematodes arrived earlier then expected. I will apply them tonight as soon as the lights turn on! - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 54% D25 (16/12/2020): I did a lot today! First, I sprayed another treatment of insecticidal soap on all my plants. Second, I removed one inch of soil in each pot and replaced it with new soil (same soil). I saw sign of what I think is phosphate deficiency. I was really shy on nutrients since beginning of the grow. Third, I fed full recommended dose for week 3 of veg. I gave 1.5L of water with nutrients and approx. 0.5L of tap water when I placed the nematodes. Fourth, I placed one tea pouch of nematodes in each pot as recommended. I also opened 2 tea pouch of nematodes and sprinkled them over the soil of all plants. Finally, I continued LST. It was a big week of up and down. Both plants grew like crazy and I discover an infestation. I think Banana Kush is in pre flower but I'm not sure. It's a bit early but they got so much stressed this week. -temp: 26C -water: PH6.5, PPM: 725 -RH: 55%

Засуха. Все кусты на большом азоте- шишки веником. На одном растении пожелтение листьев, но шишки плотнее. Внес монофосфат калия 12 грамм на 10 литров воды. Это последнее удобрение. Через 2-3 недели пойдут дожди и тогда надо будет срезать.

Hey guys! Another week and another update! At the end of this week I decided to finally start with the main lining and I won't lie... I was extremely nervous haha 😱 but I believe I did it well, without any major issue! I also decided to move the small 4th plant into a new home and it seems she will like the extra space! This week I also didn't feed my babies as I over watered them 😞 but they still showed some great progress! So I suppose it wasn't that bad! 😊 Soon I'll update the next week, which is also ready and has even more timelapses! Thanks everyone! :D

The best taste under the sun, great color of buds, unforgettable gorillas for me;) After quite a long fight with high temperatures and lack of support in the form of boosters, I am happy with the final result.

🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Projekt Woche 2 Während die Strawberry Gorillas bereits in der Blüte stehen, beginnt für drei neue Damen gerade erst das Abenteuer. Alle drei Apricot Automatics entwickeln sich gesund, zeigen eine kräftige grüne Farbe und haben sich hervorragend an die Outdoor-Bedingungen angepasst. Trotz ihres jungen Alters legen sie aktuell das Fundament für einen spannenden Sommer. 🌱 Gesunde Entwicklung ☀️ Sehr gute Anpassung an das Outdoor-Klima 💚 Keine sichtbaren Mangelerscheinungen oder Stresssymptome 🌿 Stetig neues Wachstum Der Großteil der Arbeit findet momentan unter der Erde statt. Die Wurzeln erschließen nach und nach die Stofftöpfe und schaffen die Grundlage für das spätere explosive Wachstum. Es ist immer wieder faszinierend zu sehen, dass jede große Outdoor-Pflanze einmal genau so begonnen hat – klein, unscheinbar und voller Potenzial. Für die kommenden Tage lautet die Mission: Wurzeln bilden, Sonne tanken und sich auf die Wachstumsphase vorbereiten. Das Abenteuer hat gerade erst begonnen. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 Wie jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates auf GrowDiaries, damit ihr die Entwicklung aller drei Apricot Automatic Pflanzen durch die gesamte Outdoor-Saison 2026 verfolgen könnt. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Project Week 2 While the Strawberry Gorillas are already entering flower, three new ladies have just begun their journey. All three Apricot Automatics are showing healthy growth, vibrant green color, and excellent adaptation to their outdoor environment. Despite their young age, they are already building the foundation for what could become an exciting summer project. 🌱 Healthy development ☀️ Responding well to outdoor conditions 💚 No signs of deficiencies or stress 🌿 New growth appearing steadily At this stage, most of the work is happening below the surface as the roots establish themselves throughout the fabric pots. Once the root zone expands, growth above ground should accelerate significantly. It's always amazing to remember that every giant outdoor plant starts exactly like this — small, simple, and full of potential. For now, the mission is clear: Build roots, absorb sunshine, and prepare for the explosive growth phase ahead. The adventure has only just begun. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 As always, new updates will be posted every Sunday on GrowDiaries so you can follow the complete journey of all three Apricot Automatic plants throughout the 2026 outdoor season. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱

day 11 of flower

Week 2: Moving the Twins Outside After a slow start, I decided to move the twins outside and plant them together in a 5-gallon pot. Space is limited, and with how slowly they’ve been growing, they’re not getting their own pots this time. I’ve had slow starters before, and they don’t usually yield much, so I’m keeping my expectations low. Since these two have been particularly slow, they’re sharing a single outdoor pot. The medium I used is a mix of 50% coco, 30% soil, and 20% perlite—this should provide good drainage and aeration. I used Great White from Plant Revolution during the transplant. The taproots on both seedlings were barely visible, which made me nervous—especially with autos, since they can be sensitive to transplanting. But it had to be done. Now, they’re settling into their new outdoor setup, and I’ll be watching closely to see how they respond. Current Setup: Medium: 50% coco, 30% soil, 20% perlite (now in a 5-gallon outdoor pot) Transplant: Used Great White when transplanting Taproots: Barely visible on both seedlings Lights: Moved outdoors Nutrients: Biobizz Fish Mix for now; Big Plant Science later if needed

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Seedsman, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! WOOOOOOOW, odori e colori davvero incredibili... MANCA POCO!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

I will always go organic from now! Especially using rqs nutrients had the best grow and the best outcome I’ve ever had! Dense buds all over and end weights matched that! And I didn’t even top it or stress it Too much! Wanted to see what happened if I just let it grow and I’m amazed! Royal queen seeds deserves the top place!

These ladies are in full flower and progressing like a dream. The colas on them are chunky to all get out. And to think they've barely begun the flower period is mind blowing to me. I'll go in this week and do a good cleaning taking out some of the crispy leafs on the under canopy. Over all though Happy Growing.

Pues ya tenemos la quinta semana de las GingerPunchAuto de la familia de Kannabiaseeds. En está semana han sacado más pelos blancos y que siga así. También les comunico que tienen distintas estructuras por que en las primeras semanas sufrieron un poco y como sabréis si le generas un pequeño estrés a las Autos se van a notar bastante, ya que las autos no tienen esos días de recuperación que podría tener una feminizada. Pronto más noticias😘

Ya solo quedan cinco plantas con vida y muy pronto también estarán listas, iremos viendo como quedan las flores tras ser cosechadas, espero que les guste!! Saludos

Tag 56: Die Triple G ist der 1. Blütewoche um 22cm gewachsen, 20cm bleiben mir noch für die Lampe 😬 Ansonsten waren die letzten Tag sehr heiß draußen, und somit stieg die Temperatur bei meinen Pflanzen insgesamt um 2°C, das scheint sie aber nicht zu stören 😀 Tag 57: pünktlich nach 1 Woche Blüte konnte ich bei beiden Pflanzen (Shogun u. Triple G) ein dezenten Duft wahrnehmen. Heute ist es nochmal richtig heiß geworden, die Nacht Temperatur lag im Schnitt bei 26 °C und Tags bei 27 °C 😱, aber auch das scheint sie bisher nicht zu stören.😎 Tag 59: Früher als geplant musste ich die Triple G entlauben, sie streckt sich sehr stark, was wohl an den großen Blättern liegt, und dadurch sehr eng stehen. Die Nodien Abstände liegen unten bei 10cm 😳 viel Platz nach oben habe ich nicht mehr. 😨 Tag 60: Auch nach dem entlauben denkt die Triple G nicht daran sich langsamer zu strecken. Die Lampe stell ich trotzdem erstmal nicht höher, die letzten 10 cm stell ich erst höher wenn die Dame sich nicht weiter steckt 😬

This plant was an absolute joy to trim. This plant consisted of buds and stems only, so I am actually curious what the dry weight will be.

2024-12-11 to 2024-12-17 After adding the scrog net at the end of last week, the canopy is nicely spread out with ample room between the buds. I've started adding more silica blast to the feed to strengthen the stems; the Chemdog flowers can get pretty heavy in full bloom. 12-11 Day 32/86 .5 gal feed at bottom of plant 12-13 Day 34/88 .5 gal feed split between top and bottom 12-15 Day 36/90 .5 gal feed at bottom of plant 12-17 Day 38/92 .5 gal at top and .5 gal feed at bottom of plants.

As said before, I'm incredibly happy that I got to harvest a little bit. Never expected her to make it, but she kind off did! The smell was pungent and sweet like an amnesia haze should be, hoping that will be even better after drying and curing!

Week 11 August 11 —- Breeding Project—- We recently had a run of Sour Diesel and I decided to take the only male from that batch and cross it to some clones, one being the Cerezaz strain. The goal of this cross is to find faster flowering (45-55 days) plants and also increase yield as the Cerezaz is a timid producer and Sour Diesel is generally a medium to high yielded. Other characteristics we are looking for are: sour, berries, cherries, diesel, gas on the nose ( although unique combinations are welcome), decrease light sensitivity( Sour diesel was sensitive to light intensity) as well as breed in some resistance to heat from the Cerezaz as she did outstanding in 90+ heat indoors. Currently this batch of Polyhybrid F1s are exhibiting mostly the sour diesel traits: generally more tall and lanky, leaves closer to the main stem and drooping( as seen in some landrace sativas) and the stem rub is chemical, soap astringent with a slight savory berry backend with large fat fingered leaves. The other pheno is squat with very good lateral side branching and grows slower height wise medium sized leaves and the fingers are neither skinny nor fat but generally on the thicker side. Similar nose on these but more Cerezaz leaning so the berry, cherry sweet is more noticeable. With all that being said these ladies are top dressed and just got flipped into flower! So come along for the ride! 💪🏾
