Strain
I tried that strain before and had hermies (I think it's my bad, It was summer, wasn't really on it... so I ended up with too much heat and a bug's party was occurring I the tent / ladybugs saved my butt but the stress had already done its path and lead to seeded buds). Even full of seeds, the buds were smelling delicious and had purple, green hue and orange pistils... beautiful traits / great bag appeal. The smoke was very plaisant despite the work of getting rid of the seeds each time that I rolled up a doobie. So I decided to give another chance to this strain from Sweet Seeds. And I did not regret it !
On this second Tropicana Poison attempt, I was on it. Nothing really to worry about as long as you feed & water her correctly. Never let the soil dried out completely with living soil. For that, I use Blumat watering system, for my peace of mind. And I found out those carrots work like a charm with a living soil! Never again an under watering or overwatering if your Blumat are set correctly.
She is quite sensitive to strong light during veg' I noticed. And in the opposite, she will love to have plenty of PPFD above the canopy in the 2 last weeks if you feed her correctly.
The plant offer amazing colors during the senescence, especially during the last week before I chopped her.
The smoke gives gassy/tropical puffs all along the joint, and the terps are quiet unique, made me remember of an ripe plum sometimes, delicious. Actually, there is definitely something tropical in there. Congrats to @Sweet_Seeds / real dope!
In the end, I had a solid 230gr of dried trimmed, cured, rock solid buds / I also made a 6gr water H temple ball with the trim / just... amazing !
Not such an easy strain to grow tho, especially if you try to feel up a tent corner to corner like I tried to do here (veg' time was way too long... so I had to short cut to flower) Challenges and failures are crucial if you aim to master your grow. And this long time shared with that big plant taught me so much! And I have seen the benefits of it on the next run, but also what means "too confident" and managing mistakes instead of preventing them... Always learning.
Hope you enjoyed.
Peace my grower buddies
