Tropicana flowers đŸŒžâ˜€ïžđŸŒ€ïžđŸŒŠïžđŸŒ§ïž Plant is 15 cm high because of low stress training. The length is 31 cm. Day 36: Sun is shining, 15-23 degrees, high humidity. Tropicana gets two liters of pure rainwater. Spend the day in my veggie garden working. In the evening I brought some 🐞for Tropicana because I spottet a few lice. My mood changes drastically as I find spider mites eggs, first and second stadium. Don‘t overthink that and decide to defoliate the plant immediately. I prepare a tee out of the leaves which brings fast relaxation. My mood is much better now. Day 37 In the morning with better light I find more spider mites and decide to wash the plant with rainwater. Can‘t find after any more of these little killer dwarfs. I decide to bring more beetles and check the leafs more often. Temperature is felling under 20 degrees, it‘s raining and the humidity is 87%. Day 38 In the early morning I couldn‘t find any mites on Tropicana. Got to continue controlling this in the next weeks regular. I‘m sure they are still there somewhere hidden in a dark spot. đŸŒŠïž 13 - 21 degrees and humidity is around 60-70%. Day 39 đŸŒŠïžđŸŒ§ïž Very rainy day. Just let Tropicana enjoy life and tie down the top one more time. 🐞 stay since some days. One on every plant. I think the mites are a result of their start inside and no hygiene at all. Have the same with my peppers some years. 14 - 21 degrees, humidity around 84% Day 40 đŸŒ§ïžâ˜ïžđŸŒ€ïžâ˜€ïž15 degrees, humidity 83% We listen to Roots Reggae, Tropicana is happy and quite busy with producing new roots, I guess. Don‘t understand when to stop low stress training. I think it’s enough now. She needs a rest. Day 41 đŸŒ§ïžâ›ˆïžđŸŒ§ïžđŸŒ§ïž 15 - 19 degrees, humidity up to 89% We had rainfall today around 65 liters of water. I collected enough of it for the next weeks. Day 42 ☀ 6 - 23 degrees. Humidity is falling. Tropicana enjoys the morning sun while she drinks and drinks and drinks
. Coffee. 😅

Sie kommt jetzt langsam, als der WĂŒrfel bis unten eine Wurzel hatte habe ich sie in den Becher gesetzt, die ersten Tage passierte nichts ich dachte ich hatte sie vermasselt
 Allerdings sehe ich heute nach 4 Tagen wie sie sich zum Licht streckt :) Sie ist ca 10 cm & ich hoffe sie kommt weiterhin durch. Ich habe diese Woche kein enhancer benutzt. Bis nĂ€chste Woche :)

5/13/22 - 5/20/22 5/14/22 Today my Poison Zkittlez got her Zamaldaberry room mate to move out so that she would have more space. She is trying to fill this 4x4. I did some defoliation and leaf tucking today to help open up those inner branches. 5/16/22 Today my girl got some defoliation and her resivore topped off at 3 gallons needed after 3 days. She is doing great and her flowers are getting beautiful 😍 5/20/22 Today marks the last day of week 3 of flower for my Poison Zkittlez. Topped off her resivore 3 gal. Did some minor defoliation of some inner leaves.

Mango Kush – Week 1 Flower (Week 5 from Seed) Stretch, sibling rivalry, and fine-tuning the environment Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush – Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Light Systems: ‱ ThinkGrow Model One LED (main canopy) ‱ ThinkGrow ICL300 (inner canopy lighting) ‱ Black Series 600W LED (shared space) Ecosystem: TrolMaster-controlled, partially hand-watered âž» 🌾 First Week Flower – Stretch Mode Engaged We’ve flipped the Mango Kush girls into flower, and while there are still no visible pre-flowers yet, the stretch has begun. ‱ Pheno #1: Already tall and well-structured, pushing into her 8th–9th node with strong lateral branching. ‱ Pheno #2: Started later, but is rapidly catching up—shorter internodes, lush leaves, and a determination to match her sister in size before flowers set. 📾 Both got a full studio photo session this week—looking flawless and healthy from every angle. âž» đŸŒĄïž Current Conditions ‱ Room Temp: 31°C (a bit high, AC incoming) ‱ Humidity: 50.3% ‱ VPD: 2.23 kPa ‱ PPFD: 766 ”mol/mÂČ/s ‱ Soil EC: ~2.0 ‱ Soil Temp: 25.6°C ‱ Watering: Daily (when soil dries to ~25% moisture) âž» ⚠ High Temperature Talk – Risks & Rewards Risks: ‱ Higher temps speed up transpiration, meaning the plants take in water and nutrients faster, which can cause imbalances if not monitored. ‱ Combined with high VPD, temps can push plants close to stress thresholds. Benefits (if managed well): ‱ Boosted metabolism → faster stretch and branch growth before bud set. ‱ With CO₂ at ~632 ppm, plants can tolerate slightly warmer temps without losing photosynthetic efficiency. 💡 Plan: An AC unit is on the way to lock temps into the sweet flower range of 26–28°C. âž» 💧 Why Daily Watering Works Here In these conditions, the Mango Kush girls are drinking daily. Letting the medium dry to about 25% before rewatering helps: 1. Prevent overwatering – Roots get oxygen between feedings. 2. Keep nutrients stable – Avoiding EC spikes/drops. 3. Match plant demand – Giving them exactly what they’re ready to drink. Nutrients remain tat Aptus Holland recipe, now for flower, just with slightly increased volume to match their thirst. âž» đŸŒ± Sibling Rivalry – Pheno #2’s Big Push Pheno #2 may have started late, but she’s been stacking nodes and leaves like she’s got something to prove. At this rate, she might hit flower at nearly the same size as her big sister. This will be a fun side-by-side to watch—same genetics, different timelines. âž» 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ThinkGrow ICL300 We’ve installed the ICL300, a bar-style LED designed to sit inside the canopy. Why it matters for Mango Kush: ‱ Better Lower Buds – More intensity to shaded sites → denser flowers. ‱ Even Growth – Less height difference between top and bottom buds. ‱ Efficient Canopy Use – Every branch gets a fair shot at the light. In multi-strain grows, inner canopy lights help prevent the smaller plants from being overshadowed, literally. âž» 🔼 What’s Next ‱ AC arrives → temps stabilize → optimal VPD range. ‱ Expect pre-flower pistils to appear in the next 7–10 days. ‱ Watch Pheno #2’s progress—will she match #1 before the stretch is over? ‱ Continue using ICL300 to fill out the lower canopy for more even bud development. âž» 📣 Thank you for following the Mango Kush journey!

Stretch 10 centimĂštres Jour52 lĂ©gĂšre defolliation et arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 Petit rappel sur le meilleur cycle de lumiĂšre pour les autofloraisons QUEL EST LE PLANNING LUMINEUX OPTIMAL ? Le cannabis Ă  autofloraison peut survivre avec Ă  peine 5 heures de lumiĂšre du soleil par jour. Mais si vous voulez que vos plants s’épanouissent, atteignent le pic de leur puissance et produisent une lourde rĂ©colte, ils ont besoin d’au moins 18 heures de lumiĂšre par jour. Le planning optimal de lumiĂšre pour la culture en intĂ©rieur du cannabis Ă  autofloraison est un 20-4 constant pendant tout le cycle de vie. Bien entendu, des plannings de 18-6, 20-2 et 24 heures non-stop ont tous leurs avantages, mais nous avons obtenu les meilleurs rĂ©sultats avec le planning 20-4. Les cultivateurs en extĂ©rieur peuvent potentiellement lancer la culture dĂšs le printemps. Cependant, nous recommandons toujours de faire germer les graines et de cultiver les jeunes pousses en intĂ©rieur sous des lampes artificielles pendant une semaine ou deux pour obtenir les meilleurs rĂ©sultats. Nous parlerons des options en extĂ©rieur plus en dĂ©tail un peu plus bas. LE CYCLE DE VIE DU CANNABIS À AUTOFLORAISON La plus grande diffĂ©rence entre le cannabis Ă  photopĂ©riode et Ă  autofloraison est que l’horloge tourne pour une auto dĂšs le moment oĂč la coque de la graine s’ouvre. Le cycle de vie post-germination de la grande majoritĂ© des variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  autofloraison modernes est de 8-12 semaines au total. Au contraire des variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  photopĂ©riode, les autos n’ont pas besoin du planning lumineux courant 12-12 pour faire la transition vers la floraison. Une variĂ©tĂ© Ă  autofloraison progressera dans son cycle de vie indiffĂ©remment du cycle jour-nuit. CROISSANCE VÉGÉTATIVE ACCÉLÉRÉE Il est presque impossible de dĂ©limiter la phase de la jeune pousse de la croissance vĂ©gĂ©tale avec les variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  autofloraison de nos jours. De plus, en 30 jours, la plupart exploseront soudainement en phase de floraison. Donner aux autos un bon dĂ©part, solide et sain est un facteur critique pour une culture rĂ©ussie. Beaucoup de choses peuvent se passer pendant une semaine avec un hybride Ă  autofloraison vigoureux en culture. Il n’y a pas non plus beaucoup de temps pour la transplantation. Nous recommandons d’utiliser notre kit de germination ou de planter directement dans les premiers et derniers rĂ©cipients dĂšs le dĂ©but. Des pots/rĂ©cipients en plastique de 10-20 L avec de nombreux trous de drainage au fond sont parfaits. Les Air-Pots sont encore mieux. Beaucoup de cultivateur dĂ©couvrent Ă  leurs dĂ©pens que les petits pots ne sont pas durables pour les hybrides autos modernes plus grands. PrĂ©parez-vous Ă  devoir ajuster quotidiennement votre lampe de culture pour Ă©viter de brĂ»ler le feuillage. De plus, tout comme les variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  photopĂ©riode, les conditions environnementales optimales pour les jeunes plants Ă  autofloraison sont des tempĂ©ratures entre 20 et 25 °C et une HR dans une fourchette de 50-70 %. En outre, les besoins en nutriments seront considĂ©rablement plus faibles que les variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  photopĂ©riode. Il n’y a donc aucune bonne raison de ne pas cultiver bio. GĂ©nĂ©ralement, les autos prĂ©fĂšrent avoir un milieu de culture lĂ©gĂšrement fertilisĂ© et bien aĂ©rĂ©. Les terreaux lĂ©gers et/ou le coco sont des substrats fortement recommandĂ©s. La plupart des cultivateurs prĂ©fĂšrent des lampes CFL blanc chaud, LED et MH pour la courte pĂ©riode vĂ©gĂ©tative. Cependant, les lampes HPS Ă  double spectre sont tout aussi efficaces et probablement plus pratiques Ă  utiliser. FLORAISON RAPIDE ET FÉROCE DĂšs que vous pouvez voir les pistils pousser Ă  partir des premiĂšres fleurs, vous pouvez vous dire qu’en 45-60 jours, les plants finiront le cycle de floraison et seront prĂȘts Ă  la rĂ©colte. Que vous soyez prĂȘt ou non. Mais vous serez prĂȘt, car vous aurez fait les ajustements nĂ©cessaires en temps et en heure. Les apports en engrais de croissance vĂ©gĂ©tative Ă  un dosage faible Ă  moyen seront remplacĂ©s par des nutriments pour la floraison et des doses appropriĂ©s de complĂ©ments et boosters de floraison. Une fois de plus, un rĂ©gime alimentaire spartiate est recommandĂ©. Pas besoin de changer le planning des lampes, car vous allez suivre votre planning originel jusqu’à la rĂ©colte. Mais il faudra vous assurer que les tempĂ©ratures ne dĂ©passent pas les 28 °C et vous devez rĂ©duire votre HR vers une fourchette plus basse de 40-60 %. Les plants vont s’étirer Ă  des degrĂ©s divers. Quoi qu’il en soit, vous devez faire attention et toujours maintenir une distance optimale entre la lampe et la canopĂ©e. Un ensemble de cordages ou de crochets rĂ©glables rendront la tĂąche bien plus aisĂ©e. Ne vous imaginez pas que toutes les autos dĂ©velopperont une structure courte de buisson, Ă  moins que le sĂ©lectionneur ne donne des donnĂ©es qui le suggĂšrent. Naturellement, les deux derniĂšres semaines de floraison devraient ĂȘtre rĂ©servĂ©es Ă  un rinçage en profondeur du milieu. De l’eau pure, ou une solution de rinçage lĂ©gĂšre fonctionneront trĂšs bien. Quand la majoritĂ© des poils ou pistils sur les fleurs auront changĂ© du blanc Ă  l’orange/rouge, vous devriez passer au rinçage. Ne sautez pas cette Ă©tape finale critique. Vous mĂ©ritez les fleurs les plus savoureuses, sans contamination. COMMENT LES AUTOS RÉPONDRONT AUX TECHNIQUES DE TAILLE ET DE PALISSAGE ? La rĂ©ponse courte : trĂšs bien ! La plupart des variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  autofloraison de nouvelle gĂ©nĂ©ration rĂ©pondront trĂšs positivement au LST. Et tant que vous taillez tĂŽt, l’étĂȘtage et le fimming peuvent multiplier les tiges de tĂȘtes et en plus booster les rendements. De plus, la mĂ©thode ScrOG peut ĂȘtre combinĂ©e avec toutes ces techniques pour un rendement maximum. Cependant, la culture Ă  grand volume utilisant la mĂ©thode SOG est probablement le style de culture le plus populaire Ă  prĂ©sent. Un nombre croissant de cultivateurs d’autos expĂ©rimentent avec les mĂȘmes pratiques courantes de taille et de palissage Ă  haut rendement que les cultivateurs de cannabis Ă  photopĂ©riode utilisent. Les cultivateurs dĂ©butants ne devraient probablement pas se lancer dans une taille ou un palissage intensif ou excessif avant d’avoir de l’expĂ©rience. Cependant, plier un peu les pointes de croissance pour crĂ©er une canopĂ©e plus plate ne peut pas nuire aux rendements. De mĂȘme, une dĂ©foliation minimale pour augmenter la pĂ©nĂ©tration lumineuse ne stressera probablement pas des plants en bonne santĂ©, tant que vous vous limitez Ă  l’élimination des grosses feuilles nourriciĂšres qui font de l’ombre aux sites de floraison. May the force be with you đŸ’Ș

Zamnesia - Pineapple Express (F1 Auto) - 67 days We’re considering starting the flush before harvest soon. The aroma is incredible—pineapple and honey notes fill the air. We tried a lower bud a week ago, and we were impressed by both the potency and the amazing taste. This strain has rock-hard buds and truly stands out! Highly recommended to everyone—we’re absolutely blown away by this fantastic strain!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 07/12/2019 - Fed her 2l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off, also added a green filter to the camera lens. Adjusted the light distance to 55cm again it was toooo close about 32cm. 10/12/2019 - Decided to go back and check the basics, removed led strip to give a proper 'night' time, changing light cycle to 20/4h no more 'exotic' 22/2h, re-checked the light distance every 2 to 3 days to ensure 60-45cm and I can tell all ready she is loving it. Also added home made Co2 made with 1 tsp of yeast, 3/4 tsp of sugar 700ml of warm water in a 1l bottle with a tiny pin hole on the cap. 11/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off. 12/12/2019 - 8 weeks have passed and no flowers I guess I'm flipping to 1212h to see if she reacts.

Finally got the big tent and got the environment dialled in. With the AC in the tent, it's way more stable now; this also means I can close the distance between the light and the plant and she's definitely growing better.
