16.08.2026 — Week 10 — Apricot — Harvest Report Everything good must come to an end, my friends. After inspecting the trichomes with my microscope, I found more than 50% amber trichomes. That's my sign to pull out the axe. The weather forecast for next week is also showing some rain. This is the first grow where I've made it through the entire season without any serious mold problems, and I definitely don't want to risk that now, so it's time to harvest. Conditions Although temperatures reached almost 40°C at times, the girls took it like champs. Overall, this grow has been almost completely trouble-free, apart from finding a few aphids hiding between some of the buds towards the end. These genetics have proven to be incredibly resilient and seem to forgive even some pretty harsh conditions. What Did I Learn? This was my first time using Plagron Bat Mix instead of Biobizz All-Mix, and I'm very happy with the results. In my opinion, the girls showed noticeably stronger growth, especially during the vegetative phase. I think I'll definitely use Bat Mix again next year. After exactly six weeks, which is roughly what Plagron states for the nutrient charge of the soil, the available nutrients seemed to be running low and I started feeding with T.A. TriPart. For the final two weeks, I switched to T.A. FinalPart. Unfortunately, I had one small setback during my vacation week when the girls went without nutrients for too long. I'm sure that cost me some yield, and without that mistake the plants would probably have performed even better. But that's part of growing. You learn from your mistakes. Final Words I want to thank every single one of you for following along with this grow. And an even bigger thank you to everyone who took the time to leave comments and share their own experiences. I love sharing both my successes and my mistakes with you guys. That's what makes these diaries so much fun. Thanks for following the journey, my friends! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Week 8 marked the final stretch of mid flower, and she’s really starting to show off. Buds continued stacking steadily across the canopy with thick white pistils and frost ramping up hard. Trichomes are now fully visible on the sugar leaves and showing the first signs of cloudiness. On Day 50, I watered with Cal-Mag (1 ml/gal) before heading out of town for a few days. She held up great while I was away — no droop or stress. On Day 56, I brewed and applied Compost Tea (Tea Party #4) as a full-strength drench and refilled the auto-watering base with the rest. I also refreshed the topsoil to maintain moisture contact. Some purple has started showing up on the buds, and the fade has officially begun on the lower fan leaves. No new training this week, just some tucking to keep bud sites exposed. The aroma is ramping up and she’s entering the home stretch with a strong structure and healthy energy heading into Week 9.

Ja so wie es schon vorher fast zu vermuten war, ist ein 60x60 einfach zu klein 😅 die Mandarin Panties ging zwischen den beiden Z-ups unter und ich musste sie aus dem Zelt nehmen. Die Entscheidung fiel aufgrund dessen, weil ich noch zwei weitere seeds von der Panties habe und die z-ups einfach mehr Potential zeigen. Ich werde natürlich weiter über die Panties berichten. Z-up #1 Hat keine Probleme, wächst vernünftig, zeigt keinerlei überdüngung und hat bei 570ppm einen drain von 1000ppm. Ph ist aber bei 7.. Z-up #2 Zeigt überdüngung an und hat auch einen drain mit 1500ppm, ph ist bei 6,7. Wächst aber super und zeigt am meisten Potential Mandarin Panties Wächst langsam, trinkt auch wesentlich weniger. Darf sich jetzt erstmal über natürliches Licht freuen und wird nicht wieder ins Zelt zurückkehren. Ich mache noch einen neuen Versuch mit diesem strain So long, bis zur nächsten Woche

Week 3 is starting to show some very interesting phenotypes. There's one with a lime scent that's amazing! Another seems like a skunk or something with a peachy feel—I love it! And then there's my current favorite, a slight hint of garlic and onion with a very good, characteristic note at first! The resin is starting to sprout, and the leaves and buds are shaping up nicely and are quite dense. I hope to see them at their peak and show their full colors! Note: This week I changed my cheap lights (day 1 of week 3) for a MIGRO ARAY 1000W. They are incredible lights, the quality and efficiency are amazing, and wow, my cheap light looks like a toy. At maximum power, it's 720W, and the MIGRO ARAY 1000W at 25W has more power and better reach for my plants. I think this new acquisition will change my yield. Finishing on Sunday, starting week 4 of flowering, with some very resinous buds and smells that stand out as lime, cola, and something peach-like. I'm impatient to see what results the oysters give me, but I think very interesting things.

Started flowing after about 25 days in Veg. She stayed very compact but all the sudden she’s growing rapidly bumped up the lighting to 600 ppfd and have side lights on full getting about 550 ppfd under the canopy which is better than 150 ppfd without the side lights. The leaves have a curl on the ends I think maybe it had too much Nitrogen in early veg leaves were extremely dark green. I'm still learning this is only my 3rd grow hopefully I keep learning from my mistakes. Accidentally broke one branch that had multiple bud sites I think it snapped while plant kept getting taller and the pressure made it break and me not knowing this broke it the rest of the way when resetting the metal stakes. Hopefully it doesn't affect it too much, I know I should've just left it alone.

Now its time to finish i have lollipop'd the plant. I did this with my Blueberry plant i used for clones and the remaining top growth has much larger fan leaves. I am confident it will focus the energy in the right places and i wanted this wrong to have beautiful bud filled trim :) Gonna flush it for a week and a bit then create space weed. 24hr dry time haha

Looking fantastic, every day she's looking better and better. Not seeing anymore issues with the leaves. Looks very happy and leaves nice and full and perky. Has been drinking 4L every two days. Typically get about 500-750ml runoff per watering. I've been feeding once a week and just water with CalMag for everyother watering. So basically feed, water, water, feed. Measuring my ppm run off on the water days are showing the plant is eating and typically on the second be day of watering I see the ppm really start to drop, near 1000ppm. My feeding mixture is around 1480ppm with my tap water baseline of 298ppm. Feel like I have a good handle on everything now and learned from my previous mistakes, but that's how you learn She's looking great the past week, looks like buds are starting to grow. See a lighter lime green on all my tops. Did some major defoliation borderline lollipopping there's a few smaller ones I'm keeping you around just to see what happens. Tried to remove as many leaves that were blocking Bud sites or not getting much light or just kind of look stupid lol Very happy with how everything is going. I had a blood skunk auto seed going bud unfortunately some bug decided to eat the entire top of my seedling and killed it. is what it is a little bummed out but I'll definitely have to pick up some of those seeds in the future was a free one I got with my strawberry banana for next round, with some hash passion Gave her another haircut at the of the week to make sure all the tops are getting light and remove all the lower suckers and the largest leaves as big as my hand

Big resinous and compact buds, strong smell of the tent its elongated stems are the buds on top getting fatter every week I hope to be surprised with this girl her looks are beautiful great coloring and leaves to go where I need to let her gain more weight and the amber colors are necessary in trichomes, feeding well and requiring more water than the others, even without pure water 😚

AvT oh my she just stinks and I'm not sure is a pleasant smell. She is 22 inches tall and just as wide, filling her space nicely. Defoleated her. She is bottom heavy, branches are low and wide. Hung second light so things should be happening. Increased newts to 680 ppm. All things considered this plant is doing great, and really has a strong smell.
