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… 💚

Still working away to fix the nute deficiency I came into just after new years. Dense buds are still forming and calyx swell is beginning on original internodes. The sweet smell is like a brick wall when opening the tent. Keeping humidity down by opening a port on the side of my tent and adding an extra fan works well. This has been a great learning grow for me. I'm amazed the number of tops this strain has been able to produce. Next time I will be using air pots or something similar.

End is.coming soon. She is not the biggest and buds need to get thicker but all good. I think 2 weeks will be fine with her this is the first time to grow her but I am satisfied. Very stinky anyways. Less water now approx 200ml a day because she is quite wet.

Zdravim všechny✋ 4. týden květu pryč. Dnes 8.6. startuju 5. týden květu. Major ještě povylezl na 74cm, ale to už bude asi jeho maximum, už tak je to slušný. Veškerou energii začal posílat do formování a vývoje palic, krásně voní a mě nedělá nic jinýho než radost😜 Jak už jsem psal minulý týden, zálivku tak nějak kombinuju pokaždý něco jinýho podle feelingu, jediný co jsem u ní změnil je, že jsem musel jít na 8L, ten parchant je dost hladovej, ale nemám mu to za zlý, Mephisto to na stránkách jasně píše že je hladovější.😏 Přikládám pár fotek a videjko z dnešního dne. Všem přeju good luck a za týden zase čau✋

Ran into some Calcium/Phosphorus trouble !? First deficiency in the grow. Topped up with new nutrient solution, added some CalMag and Universol Yellow 12/32/12. Raised PH to 6.1 and EC to 1850. Added 100ml 12% H2O2 to make sure no PH trouble occurs. Switched the Carbon filter around so that I can lift my light a little more. Orion F1 is getting really frosty ~2 more weeks? The Northern Lights take some more time.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Harvest day 71 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested. After the trichomes have been checked (70% milky 30% amber) as always, it was left in complete darkness for 48 hours before it was neatly trimmed by hand. After trimming, she was put back in the drying tent on nets. There they are allowed to dry for the next 8-12 days at 62% humidity before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs. After about 4-6 weeks in the jar I will swap the 62% boveda pack for a 58% boveda pack where it can be ready for another 4-6 weeks to enjoy :-). As always, the remains of the leaves are used to make Ice o Lator and oil. Of course, as always, there is a final update during the fermentation process. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍. You can buy this Strain at https://www.barneysfarm.com/blue-cheese-34 Type: Blue Cheese ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blueberry X Original Cheese 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8

I think the work done in the vegetative phase is paying off expectations, there is really little to do to keep the plants with the Main Lines in the flowering phase. They seem lush and every day I can appreciate small changes, slowly they begin to take on different colors based on the variety. The new tenant seems to like the environmental conditions

Planta hermosa, de estructura resistente y cogollos rocosos y repletos de resina. Resistente bien el entrenamiento LST y topping, pide bastante alimentos y te recomiendo lavar bien las raíces antes de cosechar si has usado fertilizantes. Los frutos desprenden una fragancia exquisita y muy dulce.

Hope to get some feedback about nutrition : After 1 plant developed a small brown tip, I started feeding. A total of 116.6 liters of water goes into my system. The feeding schedule says that you should give 4 ml of root juice per liter of water. So: 116.6 x 4 = 466 in total for week 1. So, 466/7 = 66.5 ml per day. Despite this, the differences in root growth per container seem very different. 1 bin was so far behind that I changed them. However, after 1 day a brown mass developed in the roots. The others are still nice and white. Is this already the bereft root rot? I've made some pictures and a video. The first plant in the video was first in the container of the third plant in the video. EC value = 0.6 PH = 6.6 Update 3-5 : After adding more air, problem solved. Need to keep an eye on plant #3. I've put sticks on top of the startblock. 1 stick is plant #1 etc. Plant 3 is behind the rest. Root development also differs from the rest. Instead of a long (about 50 cm) long carrot, they are a few short (10/15 cm). The plant is also significantly smaller than the rest. Can't do much now so, let's hope and see she can catch up.

We’re getting closer, they’ve upped their water intake this week, so I’m thinking we’re on pretty much the last push now! Absolutely stinks of pineapples in there, with a gassy undertone. I’m excited to see how these finish up!! Hopefully not too much longer now.

Another solid week, I've upped the EC of the solution a bit to keep her going as she transitions into flower. Starting to get a sweet smell now and I see a few purple pistils mixed in as well. Things are about to get fun!
