Growing it.
Out of this grow she was the 2nd tallest and really bushy. I really should have raised the pot a little. I didn't do as much as a veg time as I wanted because I needed to rush this grow a little. This strain was a pleasure to grow and she had no problems at all. The lights got flipped to 12/12 on day 29 and was showing pistils on day 39 of the grow so she took 10 days to transition into flower. She took 56 days from pistils to harvest.
Trim wise she took the longest out of the grow, she had plenty of sugar leaves and quite a few airy buds on the lowers because of lack of light, about 10g worth. She also produced a few seeds in the lower airy buds, this is due to a light leak in the tent which caused the gorilla cookies FF to polinate this one, only 3 seeds so no big deal. I have sorted out the light leak for the next lot to be flowered.

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I haven't managed to try the Tropicana Cookies auto yet so this photoperiod fast version was definitely a new adventure. She grew more squat and bushier then i was expecting and her shape really did remind me of pineapple express. To be honest she was great to grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week.

The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow.
Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.
Smoke review
The Tropicana Cookies FF is such a awesome smoke, I haven't grown the auto version so I haven't anything to compare it to. This is very sweet citrus with a tropical aftertaste. This stuff is very strong and I'd imagine it's hitting the THC claims or surpassing it.
I tried it after 2 weeks cure and it was very good but trying it again after another weeks cure has really brought more aftertaste to it.
Overall this strain is great and I'd really like to grow another one but veg it longer and train it better.
If your into the tropical flavours with weed then I'd give this a go for sure.
Thanks to everyone who has followed me on this journey or checked in occasionally on the grow.

I messed up and accidentally got Trop Cookies autoflowers. So, i'm going to live vicariously through your grow. It's looking great so far! I'm excited to see how these fast flowers finish.
Good luck, bruv!

@ernest_twwg, she is bushy mate, real bushy. I don't have the space so I'm glad I flipped to flower when I did. I could imagine another few weeks in veg and she would have filled the tent on her own.

Great notes. Good to see someone else has a love of VPD charts. I have a custom spreadsheet in google sheets that graphs my VPD. I also have a lung room vs tent comparison with weather conditions added as well.
I am currently charting annual VPD conditions for "paradise" growing locations such as The Emerald Triangle in California, Hindu Kush Mountains, Thai Highlands, etc.

@NegotiatedBubble, that's a good idea with the IR
like
NegotiatedBubblecommenteda year ago
@Hashy, the camera sensors on phones are the best option without buying something like an ePar meter. Stretch occurs during early flower naturally (varies by genetics).
To induce stretching, one would need to increase the amount of far-red light (IR) to activate the plant's shade avoidance system. The ratio of red light to far-red light determines this. Check out Bruce Bugbee's "Far-red: The Forgotten Photons" YouTube video.
I actually cover up the IR diodes on my lights during early flowering to keep the stretch in check.

@NegotiatedBubble, also I think they put the low DLi in early flower to promote stretching.

@ironf1st, lol I'm literally half way through my 1st joint of it. Iv not tried the auto version of this strain so I don't know how it would compare to it but I'm getting a very sweet taste from it, like a bit fruity as well maybe citrus. Its bloody nice I'll give it that, pretty damn strong as well.
