Hello Diary, In the end I can only say well done Royal Queen Seeds. I have grown a total of 4 out of 8 new hybrid F1 strains so far and all of them exceeded my expectations. Apollo F1 is no exception, although it was the smallest on the Farm, the flowers are the hardest and incredibly fragrant. During the entire cycle of growth and development, it proved to be very resistant, so that the plant looked impressive until the very end. The effect of Apollo F1 is relaxing, so I can consume it during my free time as well as when I am engaged in some creative work. It certainly removes stress and bad mood. At the end of drying, I got a little less than 50g, 49g to be exact, which is satisfactory especially because of the high quality flowers. I think I have mostly written everything that I thought was important, if anyone reading this text has any questions about Apollo F1, feel free to ask, I will be happy to answer. I would like to thank everyone for their support and comments, and especially Royal Queen Seeds for their many years of support.

2/8 - first flower feeding after 24 hours of being promoted. She was thirsty and I think I'm going to have to feed almost daily to keep up as the pot isn't big enough for a full gallon watering...mistake made. Need to defoliate and prune out some small sucker bud sites. Tomorrow or Wed for that. 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.44g Kelp 0.38g Cal/Mag 0.58g (too much) Microbes Bloom Stage 0.98g Amino Acids 0.69g Enzymes 0.27g (too much) 6.0pH 68.5*F 760ppm 2/10 - feeding today, removed all rubber wire restraints, minor defoliation of bigger fan leaves on top, removed some sucker shoots from down below and I am wondering what else to prune out. This thing is going to be a 2 foot x 2 foot monster! 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.38g Kelp 0.39g Cal/Mag 0.32g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.68g Enzymes 0.15g 6.0pH 68.5*F 660ppm Oh and it's a girl! 2/12 - feeding and mass defoliation with sucker shoots pruning...removed about 20% or more. Now she has room to breathe and good light penetration to the soil. Also tied her down gently to open up the canopy and spread out the tops a bit. 2L distilled water 6.0pH 675ppm 69.4*F Bloom 2.1g Phosphorus 0.41g Kelp 0.44g Cal/Mag 0.34g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.65g Enzymes 0.13g 2/14 - flush feeding 2L distilled water, 6.0pH, 69.5*F

She's praying under that 350R Stretch has been easily managed, growing about 17.5 inches the first 2 weeks with nice tight node spacing Vibranium absorbing all energies, and giving back with superhuman properties

Day 44: This afternoon I received the Air Pot and then I immediately mounted one and put in the soil a seed of Amnesia Haze Automatic of the Royal Queen bringing the total of the plants to 15: 8 Gorilla + 1 that has yet to germinate, 4 Cheese (2 large and 2 small) and an Amnesia Haze Auto all from Royal Queen Seeds + 1 x LSA Lemon Haze. At the moment I moved the small Lemon Haze under the new LED + CFL setup to provide a greater amount of direct light. Then under the 600w HPS lamp there are 12 plants and in the grow room 3, the Lemon Haze + 1 Gorilla and 1 Amnesia awaiting germination. However, I decided to leave the grow room open. The crops are close and I connected all three lamps to a single timer with cycle 19/5. Also with this system the plants in the grow room will receive more air and therefore more oxygen, carbon dioxide etc. and a small amount of light coming from the HPS lamp. Day 48: The six Gorillas in advanced bloom have stopped growing in height and have started to form larger gems. The final height of the 8 Gorillas is about 150 centimeters for 3 specimens, and 120 centimeters for the remaining 5 plants of which 2 are in late flowering. The production of numerous sugar leafs is also a sign that the final flowering phase has begun. I think I can collect the first cola in two or three weeks. The sweet smell of resin in this phase begins to become more intense. In this session I photographed the plants one by one before placing them in the final position. In this last position I have rebuilt all the plants, including the two Big Cheese.

I love Poundcake; I wish I'd discovered it earlier and grown it in an 18-liter pot right away. If I could have an autoflowering mother plant, I'd choose this phenotype. I mean, look how wonderfully wide and evenly it grows without me having to do anything. Simply a dream of a plant, only available at Fastbuds.

8 Weeks The "stretch" is done, still a small and really bushy plant, did a little lolipoping but not much. Increased EC and will increase it more to around 2 next week. Hope I don't get mold in this big mess. Some forming buds are really stretched out? idk, never had that before, maybe due to the heat? sadly can't do anything about that, summer. Added Spiderfarmer Glow30 light and they were flicker heavy, removed them soon after installing them, unusable, not only for the video but the light also made me dizzy and sick. After that I installed a single Mars Hydro VG80 bar. Also Installed the Mars Hydro Adlite IR15. Values are average of the day.

Week 4 was great. Tried upping the water amount a bit and it worked well on 2 of the 3 plants so Iยดll just stay at the same amount as before for the plant that didnยดt like more water. Buds getting bigger. Also 2 of the 3 plants are gonna have a longer bloom and it shows now as you guys can see. I just hope now that they will stay healthy because Iยดm happy with the progress. Thanks alot again for you guys giving me tips and tricks to optimize the grow.

The blackberry cake feminised has had a slight defoliant at the her base. Thereโ€™s a sign of deficiency as some of the plants inner leaves are yellowing. She seems to be holding up well with her stigmas fully swollen. The lady has received a dose of chicken poo and a swig of compost tea. She will need close monitoring for the next 3 weeks. The Blackberry cake has slowed down in growth gaining 2-3cm in height this week standing approximately 68cm tall!

So It's been a great week! Apologies to anyone following as I'm a couple days late updating the diary this week due to work. Anyway, bud growth is really coming on! They're starting to fatten up nicely and the smell is just fantastic. Lots of trichomes as you can see from the pics and her parentage is really starting to show with those lovely bright orange pistils. The addition of PK warrior has certainly given them a boost but I have a feeling she is going to need longer than the advertised "8 weeks" to fully mature. We will see. Have a good week. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒด

Week 8 - Oct 26 to Nov 2nd Smooth week! A bit of a late November heat wave brought my room up to near summer temperatures ๐Ÿ˜ต Crisped the tips a bit with the heat and upping the nutes. This advanced nutes stuff is very salty for a soil grow and even the small amounts reported above, split between the 4 plants, still end up getting to the fan leaves. Using Molasses and plain water feeds between nute feeds this stuff is still very touchy. The more I type about it, the more I realize it wasn't that smooth ๐Ÿ˜‚ Still the best base/biggest four plants I've had and the Chem-Bomb Autos are way fatter bud wise compared to the Chocolate Mint Og Autos but they were a little ahead in development even though they all germinated in the same week. More in Week 9! Thanks for checking in! Drop a like and/or follow so I can return the favour ๐Ÿ™Œ -- IG: @GlazedGrow

No problems this week, plants growing extremely well. I got a new TDS meter, but unfortunately, I was not able to set up a drip system yet. The only training I did was to defoliate the first true leaves and everything below that. DAY 17 - Nutes PH - 6.1 Solution Temp - 19.5 PPM-1340 Watering Volume per plant - 2L DAY 20 - Water PH - 6.04 Solution Temp - 19.2 PPM-570 Watering Volume per plant - 2.5L Plant B is about 14cm Height and Plant A is about 17 cm Height. One interesting thing that I'm seeing is the fact that Plant B continues to show signs of deformity. On the video, you can see that the right side is missing a node, this missing node corresponds to the deform leaf. Maybe they are related, Plant A was slightly bigger from the beginning, but the node development is bigger in Plant B.
