I dumped the water and added new today with nutrients. Two plants are looking really healthy. I'll focus on these now and let the others slowly grow on the side. The one I transplanted late is dead. Will update more as it develops. UPDATE: Largest plant is drooping a lot. I'm assuming the auto-waterer over-watered again. Avoid this flower pot. I emptied the water and am letting it dry out a bit before watering again. UPDATE: The auto-waterer soaked the large plant. I've poked holes in the medium and lowered the light to just above the plants to hopefully help dry it out quickly. Also have a fan on it. UPDATE: The plant dried out enough that it's looking healthy again. Yay!

She doubled in size this week. For some reason I thought the triploid growth stopped but It didn't. Was suprized how well she did this week being 100f ouside for several days. And she didn't need to be water any more than normal. Got one watering with compost tea ight before hot weather then got cal-mag water two mornings later.

More to come!... don't even ask how I keep this tent in the 70s in the garage when it is already getting to 96 degrees outside..... short answer... "oh, this works, well it did work, maybe if I do this, that seems to help, well shit, that didn't work, uh oh, its getting hot, I got it!... and done. - temps start to climb into the 90s - " oh shit, oh shit!, Its not working anymore, I guess 90 degrees inside the tent is better than being in the 100s.... think, think, think, 😲 I got it!... annnd done👌! Its working. The temp at the time of writing this is... 73 degrees (last night it is was in the upper 80s lower 90s). So yeah, my wife is upset at the time I've been spending on it..... if only she would have let me do this inside the house like I wanted to. Meh, whatareya gonna do? 😕 There is something living in my attic... I hear it now.😒....

Air pump on 2 plants failed and the plants went kraty for a week. Aiming at 400g now, one sticky beast is almost ready to harvest, Lucky first grow! 👌🏻

🍑 Apricot Auto – Woche 14 | Das letzte Outdoor-Kapitel 🌿🏁 Und da sind wir nun angekommen… Woche 14 und damit beim letzten regulären Wochenupdate meiner Apricot Outdoor. 🍑🌿 Was für eine Reise diese Pflanzen hinter sich haben. Wenn ich zurückblicke, wie alles angefangen hat, und sie heute mit ihren reifen Blüten, den orangefarbenen Pistillen und dieser wunderschönen Harzschicht vor mir stehen sehe, dann ist dieses letzte Update schon etwas ganz Besonderes für mich. In den vergangenen Wochen haben die Apricots noch einmal richtig schön ihre unterschiedlichen Charaktere gezeigt. Einige Blüten sind kräftig grün und unglaublich frostig geblieben, während andere wunderschöne dunkelviolette bis beinahe schwarze Farbtöne entwickelt haben – besonders an den Sugar Leaves. Zusammen mit der dicken Schicht aus Trichomen sehen einige dieser Buds im natürlichen Sonnenlicht einfach fantastisch aus. 💜❄️ Die Blüten sind inzwischen sehr schön ausgereift. Natürlich sind es nicht diese riesigen Indoor-Colas, die man unter komplett kontrollierten Bedingungen manchmal bekommt – aber genau das macht für mich den Reiz dieses Grows aus: Diese Pflanzen haben draußen gelebt. Sie haben echte Sonne bekommen, Wind erlebt, Temperaturschwankungen mitgemacht und mussten mit allem zurechtkommen, was ein richtiger Outdoor-Sommer so mit sich bringt. Und sie haben durchgezogen. 💪🌿 An den zahlreichen Ästen sitzen inzwischen überall wunderschöne, mit Harz überzogene Blüten. Gerade auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man sehr schön, wie stark mittlerweile nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die umliegenden kleinen Blätter mit Trichomen überzogen sind. 🍑✨ Was mir besonders gefällt, sind die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Blüten. Einige sind kompakt und richtig schön angeschwollen, andere zeigen diese etwas offenere typische Outdoor-Struktur. Dazu kommen einzelne Buds mit einer wunderschönen dunklen Färbung. Fast so, als würde jede Pflanze noch einmal ihre ganz eigene Interpretation dieser Genetik zeigen. In Woche 14 geht es für mich jetzt auch nicht mehr darum, die Pflanzen zu irgendetwas zu treiben. Jetzt heißt es einfach genießen, beobachten und den letzten Blüten die Zeit geben, ihre Reise zu beenden. Nach 14 Wochen ist dies deshalb der letzte reguläre Wochenbericht meiner Apricot Outdoor. Das nächste Kapitel heißt: ERNTE. ✂️🍑 Und ganz egal, was am Ende auf der Waage stehen wird – dieser Grow hat mir bereits viel mehr gegeben als nur eine Zahl. Eine komplette Outdoor-Saison, jede Menge wunderschöne Bilder und vor allem die Möglichkeit, diese Genetik vom kleinen Sämling bis hin zu einer ausgewachsenen, harzüberzogenen Pflanze unter freiem Himmel begleiten zu dürfen. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle, die diese Reise von Anfang an verfolgt haben. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Woche 14 🍑 Letzte Woche 🌿 Outdoor gewachsen ❄️ Wunderschöne Trichombedeckung 💜 Dunkle & violette Farbspiele 🧡 Viele ausgereifte orangefarbene Pistillen 🌞 Unter natürlichem Sonnenlicht gereift ✂️ Als Nächstes wartet die Ernte Ein letzter Blick auf die Apricot Girls, bevor die Schere zum Einsatz kommt. Vom Samen bis zur Blüte, vom Frühling bis in den späten Sommer… 14 Wochen Outdoor-Grow – und was für ein wunderschöner Abschluss. 🍑🌿💚 Als Nächstes: ✂️ ERNTE 🍑🏁 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑 Apricot Auto – Week 14 | The Final Outdoor Chapter 🌿🏁 And here we are… Week 14 and the final weekly update for my Apricot outdoor grow. 🍑🌿 What a journey these girls have been. Looking back at where they started and seeing them now, covered in mature flowers, orange pistils and sparkling trichomes, makes this final update something special for me. During the last weeks the Apricots have really shown their individual personalities. Some flowers stayed beautifully green and frosty, while others developed gorgeous dark purple and almost black tones, especially around the sugar leaves. Combined with the thick layer of resin, they look absolutely stunning in natural sunlight. 💜❄️ The buds have matured nicely across the plants. They may not be the gigantic indoor-style colas you sometimes see under perfect controlled conditions, but that's exactly what I love about this grow: These plants lived outside. They experienced real sun, changing temperatures, wind and everything an outdoor season brings with it — and they kept going. Several branches are now carrying a beautiful collection of resin-covered flowers, and when you get close to them you can really see how much frost has accumulated on the buds and surrounding sugar leaves. 🍑✨ One thing I especially love is the variety between the flowers. Some are chunky and compact, others have a more open outdoor structure, and a few have developed an absolutely beautiful dark phenotype. Together they make these plants look almost like a small collection of different expressions of the same genetics. For me, Week 14 isn't really about pushing them anymore. It's about appreciating what they have produced and letting the final flowers finish their journey. After 14 weeks, this will therefore be the last regular update of my Apricot outdoor diary. The next chapter will be the harvest. ✂️🍑 Whatever ends up on the scale, this grow has already given me something more important: another complete outdoor experience, lots of beautiful photographs and the chance to watch these genetics develop from tiny seedlings into mature, resin-covered plants under the open sky. A huge thank you to everyone who followed the journey from the beginning. ❤️🌿 Apricot Outdoor – Week 14 🍑 Final week 🌿 Outdoor grown ❄️ Beautiful trichome coverage 💜 Gorgeous purple expressions 🧡 Mature orange pistils 🌞 Finished under natural sunlight ✂️ Harvest is next One last look at the Apricot girls before the scissors come out. From seed to flower, from spring into late summer… 14 weeks of outdoor growing — and what a beautiful way to finish. 🍑🌿💚 Next stop: ✂️ HARVEST 🍑🏁

This grow has been sooooo easy apart from a slight bit of nutrient burn that you can see, she has been a pleasure to grow, she is taking longer than expected but i wouldnt have her any other way lol. Ive noticed that the pistils really turn bright orange even red 😁- i hope she tastes and smells as citrusy as she looks😝 - also getting frosty 👍 Merry Christmas Everyone!!😉

It is week three of flowering, and the net has been installed. Both ladies have also been defoliated. I am very happy with how things are going so far. Let's hope for buds as big as lemons!

Bueno, ya empiezan a tocar las fotos guapas jajajajaja Les metí el corte este domingo pasado a todas para dejarlas listas para el engorde. Vamos a ver que tal. Esta en concreto pese a ser una Critical, tiene una estructura muuuuuuy sativa, i dont know 🤣.

Everything Is okay 😁 the girls stay Happy and strong... I love theese strains

So been super busy bit have been taking videos and pictures still. Will update the previous weeks at another date. Second pheno os showing plent cloudy trichomes and some amber, she will be coming down this week.. pheno 1 not far behind, buds on that one are alot bigger than pheno 2 which is why im guessing shes taking a bit longer. Some lovely purple colours on pheno one.. but both girls are super frosty. If my pictures are going to used, make sure i get a mention with the correct instagram links.

I planted 3 seeds to germinate, but only one sprouted. Sad. After it emerged in the coco, the first watering was done with aloe vera juice. The next day, it was irrigated with Azospirillum, a bacteria that promotes plant growth, fixing N. The third watering was done with an aerated tea consisting of mycorrhizae, molasses, and worm castings. The fourth watering was done with fertilizer, with a ppm of 700. I used Plant Prod and Calcium Nitrate. For the fifth watering, I repeated the tea, and finally, another watering with fertilizer, with a slightly lower ppm (541). All waterings maintained a pH between 5.5-5.8.

-05.09.2024 The twelfth week if you count the seedling phase has begun. The plants look good and are getting nice and frosty. The pistils are mostly amber-colored. The small trichomes are observed once a day with a jeweler's loupe. So far most of them are still quite transparent for me, occasionally you can see milky and amber colored trichomes. But I think this will be the last week for the ladies. They are only watered with clear water. The lamp is running at 75% (225 watts) the PPFD value according to the Photone app is around 900. -07.09.2024 A few of the popcorn buds were removed today. Trichomes also look good, but they can still do a bit. The plants were watered with 750ml of water per plant. (water without nutrients) I think it was the last time watering but let's see what the days bring. The light intensity has also been reduced again to about 65% (195 watts). The DLi value is about 50, PPfd about 800

Week 11 Flw - Day 77 flw - Day 133 of cycle Jealousy is asking for harvest 😅 I had a closer look and smell it and I kind liked.. she is smelling a tangie/orange smell, with sweet citrusy.. buds are dense and heavy. It is gonna yield nicely(around 75-100g).. I am harvesting it in 5 days from now, as I will be away for few days and I will let it drying. Let’s go 🙏🏼💪🏼✨

Update of the garden

In der 6ten Woche Lag der Fokus auf Erholung von umtopfen, damit ich vor der Blüte Blätter und Triebe entfernen kann, die ich nicht benötige. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich dann das Erste Netz eingezogen und mich geärgert, warum ich es nicht schon früher gemacht habe. Naja man lernt jedes Mal dazu. Den Abstand zur Lampe habe ich auf 60cm verringert.

Had a hell of a week with Blue Dream 2. In the previous week I had added some molasses to the nutrient solution, 2 of the 3 plants took very well to it. However Blue Dream 2 got a real bad case of root rot. I ended up having to trim up the roots, and do a hard rinse on them. I flushed a bit with Hydrogen Peroxide and then let it soak in a resevoir with nothing but hydroguard for 36 hours. The other two had a small outbreak, but nothing near Blue Dreams 2. All in all a few days later she has recovered. Thats the biggest reason I added the tomato cages, blue dream 2, with weak stems already (got to find a silica supplement next run) she couldn't hold up the buds. After she recovered I just put the cages around all 3. I want to say 2 more weeks, but am still super green to all this, I'll post pics of the buds and tell me what you guys think. Cheers

Day 80, 22nd of October 2020: 3rd week of flowering! Happiness she needs a lot of boost hard to keep up. She loves fertilization too much..... I mean before always craving for nitrogen now qould need more potassium and phosphorus hard to keep up. I also detect deficiency based on the leaves getting lighter and brown spots but I do feed her as much as I can really. This week i have relised the first nice trichomes started "sitting" on the leaves as well and the pistils coming out nicely pre flowers forming. Let's go.
