It's actually the beginning of week three. Things are moving along nicely. Not much to complain about!

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 4: The Symphony of Growth Continues! Greetings, fellow cultivators and stewards of the green kingdom! Week 4 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with a crescendo of growth, as we continue to shape this botanical masterpiece. Join me as we explore the ongoing ballet of bending, leaf manipulation, and the new addition – topping! Our Apolo F1 has truly become a prima ballerina in the art of controlled chaos. The mainlining technique continues to guide the branches into a dance of elegance and efficiency. Each bend and twist is a stroke on the canvas of growth, ensuring even light distribution and robust development. It's like watching nature paint its own masterpiece! Leaf manipulation adds an extra layer to our botanical canvas. Gently coaxing the leaves to bend and expose more surface area to light is like unlocking the full potential of each leaf. The result? A foliage symphony that's not only beautiful but also optimized for photosynthesis. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's composing a green opus! In a bold move, I've decided to top our flourishing Apolo F1. Topping is like giving her a stylish haircut, redirecting the energy to create multiple colas and enhance bushiness. It's a calculated risk, and judging by the vibrant response so far, our green virtuoso is ready to embrace the challenge. The stage is set for a richer, more complex growth performance! The nutrient-rich serenade persists with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 has a nutrient banquet at her disposal. The temperature remains a cozy 20 degrees Celsius, providing the ideal backdrop for this botanical performance. Beneath the soil surface, the root rhapsody continues. Roots are not just anchors; they're the silent applauders to our botanical spectacle. Their dance beneath the surface ensures our Apolo F1 remains anchored and well-nourished. As always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for crafting the nutrient symphony that fuels our green odyssey, and to Royal Queen Seeds for gifting us the botanical star of this vibrant show. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the continued symphony of growth and the unfolding drama of a topped and trained botanical virtuoso! Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be evergreen! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Decided to cut these now as trichs are all looking nice and milky with few ambers, buds are looking really nice, nice few tint of darker colours in there too really happy with result, hanging to dry now and will update the final week once all dry, been a great plant overall no issues and finished with some really nice looking weed hopefully smokes as nice as it looks

This journal hasn’t been abandoned!! I had to travel for work so I haven’t been able to tend to this grow or update this journal as I intended to. I am fortunate enough to have someone interested and capable of taking care of my grow for me and they have been doing quite well at keeping things going. Pics from day 75 since germination start! Maintaining weekly water changes and feeding following GH 10 part chart and ph to 5.8-6.5 Chop and update coming soon!

60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎

Día 75 y último de vida para esta hermosa nena. Me encuentro disfrutando de la manicura y hermosa cosecha que estoy obteniendo con esta planta, mi casa está impregnada por una fragancia dulce con toques tangie. Ahora cortaré por ramas y colgaré en la carpa de cultivo donde se secará por aproximadamente 10 días con humedad y temperatura controlada. Esperaré a curar y probar bien todos esos terps para poder dar un buen informe de cosecha pero hasta ahora todo se ve muy bien! Buenos Humos 👽

Hi guys entering week 7 veg on the scrog grow of strawberry chemdawg og and blackberry moonrocks under the marshydro sp3000. There very small considering there on week 7 🤔 but now i realised that my light has been on 25% 🤣🤣🤣 now its on 50% until nov 1st when I flip it.

Week 3 of Flower we focus on Defoilation. This really is going to test the genetics response to extreme stress. Performed a 5 day Schwazze to minimize stress instead of ripping off most leave in one day. Plant seem to have reacted well so far. This technique has really opened the canopy and expose many bud sites. Preparing for a top feed at start of new week.

Beginn Blütewoche 7. Langsam kommt auch die Mimosa Gusher in Fahrt. Der Rest macht Sicht weiterhin gut. Auch wenn ich starke ph Schwankungen hatte.

Day 18 - FIM cut made. Day 20 - Repotted to her 38 litre airpot. I planted her quite deep to help with stability so she has 'shrunk' 0.5cm this week 😂

I missed a week in diary.. Starting to show brown hairs now. Peace! 💚

🗓️ Week 11 – Flower Week 7 (MAC n Cheese only) This week brought a noticeable shift: After raising the input EC to 2.0, runoff EC spiked to 2.2–2.6 – a clear sign of salt saturation in the medium. Despite that, pH remained stable between 6.2–6.3, and no visible signs of overfeeding or nutrient lockout appeared. 🔧 Adjustment planned: Starting next watering, EC will be reduced to 1.6–1.7 to rebalance the substrate and maintain nutrient uptake efficiency. 🌿 Current plant status: MAC n Cheese is looking incredibly strong – healthy, vigorous, and showing no stress despite the high EC in the runoff. Frost production is in full swing now, and the buds are packing on serious weight. 🧀 Visuals & Flower Development: The buds are massive, dense, and coated in a thick frost layer – already resembling little icicles. She’s maturing into something special. ❄️🔥

Two obviously very different plants. Both huge, especially for autos but one looks like a typical sativa (long, stretchy, naturally well-aerated and allowing light to penetrate all the way down) and it smells exactly like Amnesia (citrusy with a slight earthy/spicy background). The other needs a couple more weeks to reveal her terpenes but looks wise it’s the typical cookie-type morphology with big round tight nugs and short internode space. Now maybe this is just a case of wild phenotypical variation or maybe I’m inadvertently growing some other strain. The package sure said Break-Up Cake auto but regardless, these are showing great promise in terms of quality and yield! Vamos a ver!

Verge pazzesco e foglie belle carnose. Da settimana prossima inizieremo a farla fiorire con tecnica scrog

18.1.25: Gorilla 🦍 Cookies 🍪 is firmly in week 2. The plant is looking very good, sturdy. I have been feeding with about 200 ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag and ♡ 1/4 g sprinkling of Ecothrive Biosys. Trying to give the extra boost of Nitrogen to keep vigorous growth, and maintaining the nice lush green 💚 Cal-Mag was used from the beginning of this week. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Day 43 does some bottom leaves trimming. Day 46. Watering with 2.5L nutrients mix.

Week 7 mix pack looks like we have 4 different strains of 4, it would be really really lucky but to be honest all 4 plants are not even close in structure, bud, leaves and color. So it would be: Guava Banana purple punch Apple Strudel Cherry Cola All RF3 This is also the order in which I put the photos. Guava looking a bit forward. Week 6 for Papaya Cookies… it has a lot of bud sites, maybe I should have cut some to redirect energy to bigger buds but let’s see what happens. Love the mystery in this grow and the colors it’s showing. Exited for what’s next!!
