Just started the new season of my anual outdoor grow with 3 seeds of Tropicana Cookies Auto and 1 one seed of Gorilla Zkittlez Auto (gift from FastBuds to try out, thanx guys)! I''m of course exited what this season will bring, considering the very instabile weather in The Netherlands with a extremly warm or wet climate, lets hope for the best. Because I live in the city centre not to far from unwanted uniformed attention, I keep one plant in my garden and put the other 3 at my sisters garden. I decided to chose a indica dominant strain this year, let's hope for the best! All seeds germinated on friday may 19th and planted right away!😎

All goes according to plan! The weather is okay and there developping quit alright! After week 3 when they are a little more wind proof, I'll only keep the one in the big white 40 l bucket and the other ones will be placed in my sisters garden because there's much more sun hours up there.

Monday june 5th: Last friday I put 3 plants in my sisters garden, considering the hours of sun! You can see the difference in just a couple of days, the plants at my sisters are already bigger! The weather in my country is still to cold for this time of year, but we didn't have rain in the last couple of weeks. Because of my Canna soil, I won't feed any nutients till flowering stage. Friday june 9th: tropical temps last couple of days,, extra water added, growing like a mtf!!!😎

Wow, tropical temps in my country, last week every day around 30 degrees C! All goes according to plan, they look good, no insects, seem healthy! Today first day of vegatation week 4! The tryout Gorilla Zkittless is doing very good also! I'll hope one of my Tropicana cookies is the purple phenotype, we will see! 😎 I took some measurements on saturday morning... On monday it was still about 20 cm height! Today it's doubled in size, 40 cm!!!! If this is because of the sun intensity this week, I might consider going to the nude beach this weekend😂

Today at week 5 (Monday), height 46 cm, steady as she goes! Today is the first time in the last four weeks that it is gonna rain! This is gonna get the snails out so I have to be carefull!😎 My cat is guarding my crops, he kills anything flying towards it, my garden is a no-fly zone! (El GatoJardinero) Added some pics on friday 23th, flowers start already develloping, my guess is that this strain is the fastest autoflower I had so far.... Gorilla Zkittless has almost no flowering yet

Wow, I'm totaly shocked about these Tropicana Cookies! Flowering in week 6, by far the fastest autoflower I had so far from Fast Buds, flowering two weeks earlier then any autoflower I grew before! It grew 28 cm's last week, 20 cm in the week before that! Marihuana on steroids!!!!!!!! I compared the growing schedule with my Bruce Banners from last year, they were 23 cm's in week 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎 Fword awesome!!!!!!!! It must be the genetics, I checked the other TC diaries outdoor and everybody else flowered in week 6! Everything is going great, accept for the increasing numbers of insects trying to get high of my crops, just sent two caterpillars to the eternal hunting grounds! I'll add some extra pics on friday adios growmies and greetings from the dutch gardner in higher spirits👻 Added some pics at june 30, day 5 of week6! Got me one purple one👍 beautifull plant!

My plant just added another 11 cm's this week, 85 cm right now!!!😎 It looks great, starts to smell a little and is developping flowers like no tommorow! I started to add some Plagron Bloom today, gonna do that for a a couple of days to boost things some more! After that I'll start reducing water so the soil gets more airy and the roots can use air at night as necessary component. Plans all depending on the weather of course, last and coming week are rainy....... The two Tropicana Cookies and 1 Gorilla Zkittless(tester) at my sisters garden are also doing fine, I like the fact that one of them is the purple phenotype, it looks awesome. Add some pics friday... Adios growmies😎👊 Friday, day 5, pics added

Week 9 started, rainy weather this week so hoping for the best that the mold will stay away! All goes according to plan, though I had to fight off some grasshoppers and snails..... Somewhere this week I'll start the flushing process. The smell is increasing and they are sweating thc, I'm really looking forward making some hash from the purple strain, I can almost taste it when I think about it😎 Fushing started at day 2, leafs getting yellow👍 The smallest plant at my sisters garden seems to gonna be the ripest yet! Before trimming the leafs it was also to most bushy pheno (reminds me at my fisrst girlfriend😏)

Of course it seemed all to good to be true.......Had a great season, nice warm weather, lot's of sun, plants all doing great and growing like no tommorow.......Till this week.......rain, rain tons of fucking rain, in the forecast rain this week and rain next week...... just two weeks before harvest the climate is fucking up my crops!😡 Because there's 3 plants at my sisters garden, I can't do anything about it! They are too tall to put under a table or something. The one at my garden can be put in my barns entrance, but only when I'm at home of course. Leaves the question, when to harvest and I can only pray to the Ganja God's🙌, for not getting mold in these two weeks which seems to be almost impossible....... 😢

Thanx Fast Buds for creating a very special strain because it's the fastest autoflower I've grown so far! The purple Pheno was the biggest yielder but not the biggest plant! Let you know how it;s taste and total weight when it's dry😎 It looks promising.

Simply the fastest autoflower I've grown so far, unbelievable! I would have harvested a little later if the forecast on the weather wasn't as bad as it is, but I decided to harvest before the mold hits in, after such a bad weather period last two weeeks. It;s really really sticky though! It smells very strong too. The plant at my garden was the biggest one, but not the biggest yielder, the purple pheno won I guess...When it's dry I'll update this page with the final result. Cu Soon😎👊 Eventualy 135 grams dry, Taste awesome, smooth soft smoke, impact like heroin! Very indica, really great long high, strong stuff!

@Fast_Buds, Thanx FB, in spite of the weather it was a fun season! Easy growing, it's still drying! Smoked the hash from the scissors last saturday at noon! In my opinion you should have called this strain Tropicana Heroin 😜, I disolved in my chair and missed the whole day, floating in the twilight zone, stoned like a hooker on saturday night! Promisses a lot concerning the weed and kif I'm gonna make with my sifterbox! Update soon with smoking report!😎👊
