After a slow start, she grew relatively hassle free throughout the vegetation period. There were some fungus gnats during flowering but they seemed to avoid the ELB for the most part, so high marks for that. She responded well to topping and LST and didn't mind the various environmental fluctuations. There were a few bananas beginning to appear a few days before I chopped her but I would attribute that to leaving her a bit longer than I should've. They were absolutely ready for harvest at 56 days and I let her go 63. I hang dried the whole plant for 14 days at 60-65F and 58-65% humidity before trimming. Very few fan leaves on the calyx and bract heavy buds made trimming so easy. The trimmed flower was put into 1/4 lb Grove bags for a week before sampling. All wet weighs are guesses, I don't bother.

This one is entering flower beautifully. Just reeks of lemons. and oh boy just like a sativa it likes to stretch. But i also think that stretch has to do with malted barley and aloe vera juice. cant wait to start the pot patch this year.

Tropicanna Poison XL Auto- Outside W10F6 8/17-23 This past week has been rainy and overcast from a tropical storm with temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. We have Hurricane Erin approaching the Bahamas heading northeast with wind gusts of 30-40 MPH. While we won’t be directly hit by the storm, we will get the outer bands of heavy winds and rain. To protect my plants, I brought all the girls inside on Tuesday 19th in preps for the storm. I inspected each one for bugs, rot or anything unusual. She is free and clear of any rot or bugs 8/19 Tropicanna Poison XL auto is 53 days from germination. Sweet Seeds says 60-75 days to harvest so she needs about a week more. Next week with the hurricane approaching, we are expecting rain for most of the week. Given the pending weather conditions for the next couple of weeks, the remainder of the grow will be in the tent where I can control the environment. I also will be using the air conditioner to drop nighttime temperature and maybe bring out pink and red colors. The stems show pink so I’m hopeful. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Defoliated her a bit. Now I have even canopy but I am concerned if I defoliated too late in the game because this is an autoflower. Only time will tell. Increased her feed frequency to twice a week. Seeing several cola sites. 01/25/23 : Did a second round of defoliation yesterday. She ended up being as bushy as before defoliation. Little concerned that the plant is vegetating but not growing buds. She is about to finish her 7th week. Almost acting like a photoperiod. 01/27/23: Nearing end of week 7. It feels like she is still vegging. I see some flower sites and some pistil hairs but no real bud yet. I am reading that some autos bloom really late. Trying hard to be patient with her and not just flip the lights to 12/12. Will give her couple more weeks to start blooming, if not then I will go to 12/12. The hardest part about extended vegging is light and air management. 😫. Oh the joys of growing your own!!

Estoy añadiendo las fotos y todo, durante la semana. Entramos en la 4 semana, me parece muy bien, los primeros resultados de la LST están dándome satisfacción. A ver como va a ser hasta el próximo sábado, porque quiero hacer un scrog antes de la flora.

Week 15 Coming back from holidays: left the plants 13 days in self sufficiently. -grow spot: greenhouse -Automatic Watering Blumat with 5L supply of water / plant -ventilation: 6 AM to 22 PM = 15 min/h - 22 PM to 6 AM = 15min/2h -companion plants: dill, basil + in front of the greenhouse: lavender, sunflower -insect traps ; artificial (paper glue) and natural : numbers of spiders around -1 manual watering day 7 Really good surprise: all plants look healthy and particularly the Sleepy Joe, growing 40cm higher in 13 days + a good side stretching. No pest or predators around (I will have a meticulous check soon), no signs of dehydration just some dead leaves on the floor causing by heat or the minimum water quantity, proving by the root system around the ‘carrot clay’ (Blumat) cf photo. Daylight 6h34 to 21h43 = 15h09 👇🏼- Lucky weather: sunny, not too hot 🤙 Nutrient cocktail BioBizz 2L Sprayed Neem Oil early in the morning 🤔thinking about the size problem….this Phenotype is very vigorous: 1m30 high and the vegetative period is not achieved 😬: the plantation must remained imperatively discrete. I decided to train the 2 top branches (photo): the final form is pretty cool… For the moment all is running well….the perfect cool weather but it’s minimum 10 weeks before harvest: a pretty long way…

Germination 27 September 2023 Heya 🤙👍🤙🌱🌱🌱 Winter has come and gone. The sun is out after a heavy stormy weekend it's finally time to start Germination. I have been extremely lucky, privilege and blessed to be here right now in my life. Start of a new season have been itching deep in my bones since a week after my first harvest. Let's see what the hype on Fastbuds420 delivers. In the heart of a humble garden, a miraculous journey is about to unfold. Beneath the soil's dark, nurturing embrace, a seed lies dormant, awaiting the precise moment to burst forth into life. It is a marvel of nature, a tiny capsule of potential, encoded with the blueprints of the plant it aspires to become. As the heavens open, raindrops penetrate the earth, quenching the thirst of the soil and signaling to the seed that its time has come. The seed absorbs this life-giving moisture, swelling as it takes in water. It's as if the seed is awakening from a long slumber, stretching its embryonic limbs for the very first time. Within this subterranean realm, the seed's outer coat softens, and a tiny rootlet begins to emerge. This is the radicle, the seed's first root, and it instinctively knows to journey downward, anchoring itself into the soil. It is the plant's lifeline, seeking out water and nutrients essential for growth. Simultaneously, a delicate shoot, known as the plumule, makes its way upwards, drawn by an invisible force towards the sky. It is a daring expedition, fraught with obstacles, as it navigates through the soil. Yet, guided by an innate sense of direction, it perseveres. Finally, breaking through the soil's surface, the shoot unfurls its first leaves, miniature versions of what they will one day become. These are the cotyledons, a pair of leaves that have been stored within the seed, packed with nutrients to sustain the young plant in its earliest days. As the sun's rays touch these fledgling leaves, photosynthesis begins. It's a momentous occasion, the plant's first breath, as it converts sunlight into energy. The seedling, still fragile yet full of promise, has successfully embarked on the first chapter of its life. From here, it will face countless challenges and opportunities, but for now, it stands as a testament to the remarkable resilience and complexity of nature. Thanks for reading!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Well I let them go on for another week in the end and I don’t know whether I’m just used to the smell but I definitely have noticed a decline in the loudness of these girls. I’m not ‘flushing’ as much as just giving them water and terpinator for the last couple of weeks to help them fade and finish off. More amber trichomes than I usually have, so these are perfectly ripe I’d say. The additional lights I added to the bottom of the plants definitely worked in maturing the buds but they also made them foxtail and push out pistils and seemed a bit forced. Also needed to account for the extra heat that 3 x small LED strips (approx 25w) so I decided as I wound down the main light to 10.5/13.5 I would turn those off entirely for the last few days. Decided to harvest all the plants together simply because it makes my life easier, believe it or not? Even though the Gorilla Zkittlez could’ve perhaps gone another week even. Oh well. Drying and curing is always an anxious time for me and the aromas are not as pungent as I’d hoped, but let’s hope this bud comes out nice because as this has been a long run due to the cold weather hampering veg early on.

In der vergangenen Woche zeigte die Chocomint OG die ersten eindeutigen Blüteanzeichen. Parallel dazu traten jedoch deutliche Nährstoffprobleme auf. Mehrere Blätter zeigen zwischen den Blattadern nekrotische, bräunliche Gewebeschäden. Das Schadbild erinnert auf den ersten Blick an einen Magnesiummangel, unterscheidet sich jedoch klar durch das Fehlen typischer interveinaler Aufhellungen. Stattdessen handelt es sich um echte Gewebeverbrennungen. Auf Basis des Verlaufs und der bisherigen Düngemaßnahmen gehe ich von keinem Magnesiummangel aus. Wahrscheinlicher ist eine Kalium-Blockade. Diese dürfte durch eine zuvor erhöhte CalMag-Gabe entstanden sein, die zur Korrektur des Ca/Mg-Verhältnisses im ungebufferten Kokosanteil des Substrats eingesetzt wurde. Das Coco hat initial Calcium und Magnesium stark gebunden, was nun zu einer Überkompensation geführt haben könnte. Ähnliche Symptome traten bereits zu Beginn des Grows als klassische CalMag-Verbrennungen auf. Aktuell gehe ich davon aus, dass das Überschussverhältnis von Ca/Mg die Kaliumaufnahme hemmt und dadurch sekundäre Mangelsymptome bzw. Verbrennungen verursacht. Weitere Maßnahmen zielen nun darauf ab, das Nährstoffverhältnis zu stabilisieren und Blockaden schrittweise zu lösen, dazu gieße ich nun weiter ohne cal/mag und lasse etwas drain ablaufen.

Today is the beginning of week 5, 1 week since i began this diary. She is making excellent progress, , I am not sure what the yellowing is. Potassium, phosphorous, salt buildup, pH issues? Not sure. I just received my pH meter and Up Down solutions. So now I can keep better track of her. I highly recommended this strain, she grow so really fast, trains well, and her aroma is the best I've personally found, a mixture of cotton candy, skunk and mint. She's is amazingly beautiful in her bud stacking and wow! Those trichomes. She has a CBD content of 11% (average strain %). For the beginner and for medicinal value this strain is perfect to get to know a little better
