Woche 5 – Die Form nimmt Gestalt an 🍑🌿
Nach einer aufregenden Woche und meinem Besuch auf der Mary Jane in Berlin geht es nun wieder zurück in den Garten. Die Apricot Automatic entwickelt sich weiterhin hervorragend und zeigt genau die Eigenschaften, die ich mir von einer starken Outdoor-Autoflower wünsche.
Das Low Stress Training zahlt sich mittlerweile deutlich aus. Die Seitentriebe wachsen kräftig nach oben und verwandeln die ursprünglich schlanke Pflanze langsam in eine breite, gleichmäßige Struktur. Das Kronendach wird von Tag zu Tag voller und die zukünftigen Budsites verteilen sich optimal über die gesamte Pflanze.
Besonders erfreulich ist die schnelle Erholung nach dem Training. Es gibt keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress und die Damen wachsen munter weiter. Die Blattfarbe ist gesund, das neue Wachstum wirkt kräftig und die Internodienabstände bleiben angenehm kompakt.
Mit jedem Tag wird deutlicher, welches Potenzial in diesen Apricot Autos steckt. Jetzt beginnt die spannende Phase, in der sich entscheidet, wie groß die Pflanzen vor dem Einsetzen der Vorblüte noch werden. Wenn sie dieses Tempo beibehalten, dürfen wir uns auf einige sehr interessante Outdoor-Ladys freuen.
Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen und bis zum nächsten Update! 💚🍑

Week 5 – The Structure is Coming Together 🍑🌿
After an exciting week and my visit to the Mary Jane Expo in Berlin, it's time to get back to the garden. The Apricot Automatic continues to impress and is showing exactly the characteristics I hope for in a strong outdoor autoflower.
The Low Stress Training is now paying off. Side branches are growing vigorously and transforming the plants from a simple main stem into a wide and balanced structure. The canopy is becoming fuller every day, allowing future bud sites to receive excellent light exposure.
What makes me especially happy is how quickly the plants recovered from the training. There are absolutely no signs of stress, and the ladies keep pushing forward with healthy growth. Leaf color remains vibrant, new growth is strong, and internodal spacing stays nicely compact.
With every passing day, the potential of these Apricot Autos becomes more obvious. Now we are entering the exciting stage where the plants will determine how much more growth they can achieve before fully transitioning into flowering. If they continue at this pace, they are going to become some very impressive outdoor ladies.
Thank you for following along and happy growing! 💚🍑🌱

Time for chop is here 🤚🏼😎
Smells good, looks good. I have these three girls hanging upside down in a dark room with a heater on to keep between 60°F & 70°F & indirect airflow in the room to prevent mold & preserve terps. Aiming for 7-14 days drying time followed by a minimum of 21 days burping & curing. Will make a harvest post regarding dry weights smells & better flower pics in 4-5 weeks time. Until then check out my other grows & happy growing to all. 😊🌿

Hey now! This week went very well. I feel like she is finally done growing, and just starting to thicken up and ripen. I did switch from the liquid koolbloom to the dry, and within 48 hours or so I really started noticing the weight of the colas start leaning towards the floor. I did support the main colas last week, but this week I noticed several of the smaller unsupported colas started drooping to the floor, so i added a few support lines. I am thinking maybe she has two or three weeks left. I am not a big believer in an all out flush, as I do not wish to stress her out even near the end. Rather, I am gradually weaning her off the nutes over the next 2-3 weeks. She is starting to get brown tips on almost every leaf so not sure if this is just her being near the end or a bigger issue?? Any advice please hit me up! I'm still struggling with humidity issues, but she seems to be ok! Thank you so much to everyone in this community for all the love, support, and help with my first grow. Thanks and blaze on!

August 10th. 57 days post flip.
Clones:
Clones have been growing very very well. Can confidentially say they are no longer stretching.
I no longer have to move them away from the light. There are some tops that are burning but I’m not even worried about it. It’s only a few tops and it looks like I will be getting plenty of bud.
I’m expecting another 8 weeks of flower at this point. Decided it was about time to give another shot of nutes. Gave them craft blend, bug 6, some potassium, some epsom salts, cow cal 24, and some recharge. I also changed them to an 11.5 to 12.5 light to night cycle. Doing this to better mimick their home environment.
The tops growing above the lights are really really happy about the supplemental lighting I added. Seem to be responding very well.
So far plant number 2 and 3 have a bud structure I like. Closer spacing and seem to be better overall for indoor growing. Plant number 4 seems like an absolute monster meant for the outdoors and has the more spear like sativa spacing. At this point I’m just waiting to see how they fatten and how they smoke before I chose my female.
I’ve already begun looking at potential candidates for my male hunt to cross my lucky candidate with. I think I might go with something like biker kush from karma. I think that will help tighten up the structure of whatever female I decide to chose. Let me know what you guys think I should hunt for this things mate!
Parents:
Parents have been growing very well. Low light intensity coupled with fabric pots so they can air prune along with no night cycle leading to stunted roots has allowed me too keep these things in these tiny pots for going on 24 weeks.
Going to continue to give nothing but water. Might give some casings or a tad bit of craft blend but for the time being they seem healthy. Watering every 2-3 days.
Thank you guys for following and god bless!

I added a second light yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s overkill and if it’ll work well with the other one. They are both VIVOSUN 300w LEDs, the one I already had has a veg and bloom switch, but the new one doesn’t. But hey it was cheap on Black Friday for $63. But having the new one in there quickly increased the heat in there from 75 to 85. I’m waiting for an oscillating fan to throw in there also which will help. Any advice on the light situation? More light spectrum the better?
Update: did my first LsT on all three girls on 12/1. Within 3 hours all the leaves were facing the lights again I was impressed

In the final week, highly resinous flowers that I cannot wait to sample from the 3 phenos. Had more pics and vids but the site won’t let me upload.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Entering the second week full of doubts, are they stunted? I transplanted four of them into 8 l airmax pot.Also a little bit of something similar to mold appeared on the seed shells (grey little hairs).Can it be the mycorrhiza?
I began adding Royal calk, cause i heard and readed that the autos need it since the begining(this one is susprisingly concentrated) and inoculatethe first time with the microbe photosynthesis plus,3 ml/l the first time and 1,5ml/l the next weeks along with a sugar application once a week in order to feed the microbes and fungi from the floor.

Germination went well. Exited for this gorilla cookies even if it's under the less powerful ts1000. I think I can manage the light well enough for great results.

Overview of the whole grow so far.. everything is looking healthy no signs of mold pest resistance is there with the help of the dragonflies and natural ladybugs and other predators in the garden including garter snakes.. the snakes just coil around the trunk of the trees..
Everyday the odor of the garden grows stronger skunky and sweeter.. Cinderella 99 has the strongest odor and most fragrant buds, followed by the Purple Haze, then the Strawberry Cough then the Afghan hash plant and then DJ Short Blueberry but to be fair the blueberry and the Afghan we're late bloomers as we all know

###Deutscher Text unten
The week started well until I noticed the yellow tips on day 24. I had actually ruled out overfertilization as I hadn't fertilized at all.
Apparently, however, the nitrogen is released/absorbed irregularly in pre-fertilized soil. The Floragard Grow Mix is apparently very strong and more suitable for photoperiodic plants.
I skipped the planned fertilization with Terra Vega accordingly.
However, my girls survived the whole thing well and have now entered the flowering phase. On day 29, I gave them their first fertilization with Terra Flores. I'm currently watering one liter every 2 days.
I had problems getting the humidity down. It was actually always over 60% in the grow tent. I had to open the tent and set up a dehumidifier in the room, so I get 40-50 LF, but the room also gets quite warm from the dehumidifier and half the house “smells” of the three ladies.
Not ideal, the next grow will go outside in June.
I have the feeling that I should defoliate the plants to give the buds more light. But I don't want to stress the plant, especially as it's an automatic. .... So far I've only tried to pinch off the large leaves. Maybe you have some advice for me!
###Deutsch:
Die Woche begann gut, bis ich die gelben Spitzen am Tag 24 bemerkte. Eine Überdüngung hatte ich eigentlich ausgeschlossen da ich noch gar nicht gedüngt hatte.
Anscheinend wird der Stickstoff in vorgedüngter Erde aber unregelmäßig abgegeben/aufgenommen. Der Floragard Grow Mix ist anscheinend doch sehr scharf und eher was für photperiodische Pflanzen.
Die geplante Düngung mit Terra Vega habe ich entsprechend ausgelassen.
Meine Mädels haben das ganze aber gut überstanden und sind jetzt in die Blütephase übergegangen. Am Tag 29 gab es dann doch eine erste Düngung mit Terra Flores. Ich gieße im Moment einen Liter alle 2 Tage.
Hatte Probleme die Luftfeuchtigkeit runterzubekommen. Im Growzelt waren es eigentlich imm über 60%. Musste das Zelt öffnen und im Raum einen Entfeuchter aufstellen, so komme ich auf 40-50 LF, aber der Raum wird auch ziemlich warm durch den Entfeuchter und das halbe Haus "duftet" nach den drei Damen.
Nicht optimal, der nächste Grow geht im Juni nach draußen.
Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich die Pflanzen entlauben sollte um den Buds mehr Licht zu geben. Ich will aber die Pflanze nicht stressen, vor allem weil es eine Automatic ist....Habe bis jetzt nur versucht die großen Blätte runterzudrücken. Vielleicht habt ihr ja einen Rat für mich!

7/6:
Heavy thunderstorms last night and half the day today, so she won't be ready to eat again for a few days. I went out to the site about an hour after it quit raining today and saw HUNDREDS of tiny little green grasshoppers feasting on my girls!!! I immediately sprayed them all down with pyrethrins, and did it again right before dark.
I've got the fan blowing across the pots to try to dry them out faster.
I started using TPS One (one part nute solution) the other day, and the plants seem to love it. Really growing well, but I'm glad I amended their soil with some happy frog fruit and flower granular fertilizer this time. They get fed whether it's too wet or not.
7/7:
Rained again last night...and more hoppers again this morning, so i sprayed with pyrethrins.
7/12:
I tied down her main earlier this week and took about 5 or 6 cuttings from her today.
Sprayed with Bt-k again, with some fulvic acid and silica.

6th week of flowering.
The flowers are almost fully formed, they just need to fatten up and share.
It's noticeable that they're drinking a lot of water and also that it's hotter than the previous months, so it evaporates faster.
