Happy New Year, guys! 🎄
Welcome to a fresh start and a new grow in this new year. I've recently received some seeds of new strains from Ganja Farmer Seeds, and I'm super grateful for them. As I go along, I'll be sharing diaries for each one, starting with the Tequila Sunrise Auto (Mimosa x Bruce Banner Auto) that I began on December 31st.
For the substrate I'm using coconut fiber, which I meticulously rinse and buffer to 600ppm. I prefer doing this myself rather than relying on manufacturers. I also add some perlite and vermiculite, not measuring the proportions exactly but you can get an idea from the photos. The nutrients are the same as my recent grows: Canna Coco, Canna Rhizotonic, CannaZym, Canna Boost, and Canna PK13/14.
The seed was soaked for a day in water before being transferred to the substrate. I'm using a 24/0 light cycle. Let's get growing! 💚 💚 💚
@MyDearDiary and I have decided to arrange a challenge with this strain. Although I'm a few weeks behind, it will be interesting.
The second week is passing without any problems, except for a slightly lower air temperature.
The pace of growth is moderate, feeding unchanged - 750 ppm and maximum light - 135W
Day 19 - I increased the feed to 900 ppm and removed several leaves. Appetite is growing rapidly
Day 20 - She starts to bloom 🌱🌼
Day 21 - In some strange way, a ladybug appeared in the box this is a good sign 💚
On 31.01, exactly one month ago, I planted the seed, and now it has transformed into a beautiful plant. It's like magic! I conducted a 'spectral' analysis of the leaves and found that some of them have completed their role, so I'm removing them 🧑🌾🌱🌞
Starting this week, I'm keeping track of the flowering period. I'm really fond of this strain — its later onset of blooming has been great for encouraging more growth. I've been doing a bit of foliage removal, though it's more of a personal preference than a necessity 🌱🌼
This week, the feeding schedule remains unchanged. She is producing new leaves very rapidly, so I'm performing defoliation a bit more frequently 🧑🌾✂️🌱
The flowers increase in volume, numerous trichomes emerge, and the scent remains negligible. The nutrition and watering regimen remains unchanged this week 🌱🌞🍀
This week will be the last, I use Canna Flush; after that, I'll switch to daily watering with clear water. The plant looks awesome and has filled the entire grow box
Venturing into the world of home cultivation, I embarked on growing the Tequila Sunrise Auto by Ganja Farmer Seeds. This journey was contained within the confines of an compact stealth grow box, converted from a full tower PC system unit. The setup boasted 3 quantum board LED lights, totaling 135 watts. For the feeding, I leaned on the trusted Canna Coco series, a choice that has consistently yielded excellent results in my indoor gardening adventures.
Appearance and Aroma:
As harvest approached, the plant revealed their stunning beauty. The buds, incredibly dense and richly adorned with a mixture of milky and amber trichomes, were a sight to behold. Bright orange stigmas pierced through the trichome-laden surface, adding a vibrant contrast
But what truly set these flowers apart was their delicate and nuanced aroma. A delightful blend of tangerine, a hint of pineapple, and floral created a scent profile that was both refreshing and intricate. It's worth noting that my experiences are based on vaporizing these buds using a Mighty+ vaporizer coupled with a small bong—a setup that, in my opinion, offers the purest expression of strains flavor and effects, with minimizing the negative effects caused by combustion.
Effects and Experience:
The Tequila Sunrise Auto strain leans more towards a Sativa effect, offering an experience characterized by euphoria and softness. What's remarkable about this strain is its ability to elevate mood without the roller coaster of mood swings often associated with more potent Sativas. Moreover, it manages to do so without inducing any unwanted heavy cerebral impacts, making it a seamless fit for those seeking a mild, enjoyable high.
Final Thoughts:
The Tequila Sunrise Auto is a strain that I wholeheartedly recommend. Its cultivation is a interesting process, especially when undertaken in a controlled. The strain's appearance and aroma promise a premium experience, which is fully realized through the use of a vaporizer, particularly for those who appreciate the subtleties of flavor and effect. Its sativa-dominant effects, characterized by euphoria without the extremes, make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced users looking for a strain that enhances the mood gently and sustainably.
Whether you're a cultivator seeking a resilient and beautiful plant to grow or a connoisseur in search of a new, uplifting experience, Tequila Sunrise Auto by Ganja Farmer Seeds is a strain that deserves a place in your collection. Its ease of growth, delightful sensory profile, and balanced effects make it a standout choice for those who appreciate the art and science of cannabis cultivation and enjoyment.
@gottagrowsometime, What surprises me is the complete lack of smell and its size. Very soon after the smoke report, it will be possible to draw a final conclusion regarding its uniqueness 💚🌱
