Hey mates,
This is the second run of my '25 automatic harvesting project.
Since its an over-the-year project, every month a new plant will be started. So stay tuned for other reports :)
Little Tropicana Girl germinated one week ago and is doing well so far. Already set her into 5 l fabric pot (BB All Mix + Light) from 700 ml germination pot (BB Light Mix).
Hola peeps,
Week 2 of little Tropicana Cookie girl was kinda unspectacular. Growing well and likes the new SanLight lamps.
Unfortunately I can't change the used light source in the diary description anymore :/
I only gave some clear water this week and let the Bio do their Bizz.
Hey everyone,
Little tropicana girl is in good condition. She's growing continously and is getting more and bigger leaves.
Unfortunately the leaves show some signs of a little nitrogen overdose. The have a dark green color and the tips are already burnt a little bit.
I think the amount of all mix in the repottet substrate was a little high so I will continue to give only plain water a little longer and we will see how she likes it.
Short hint: #3 of my '25 Auto project just germinated :-) so check out my other diaries
Hello girls'n'boys,
Week 4 has past and little tropicana girl want's to get adult now. The side branches are fighting with the main fan leaves for the light.
There are still some signs of too much BB AllMix so as planned last week there were no nutritions added to the water.
Maybe I add some nuts in the following week, cause on day 25 I saw the first signs of flowering on the main internodes and today she shows her first pistils up on the top.
Hey buddies,
little tropicana girl starts the get adult. Week 5 was in the sign of stretching and flowering.
She almost doubled her size and the small white hairs we all want to see are poppin out everywhere.
To give a better ventilation and more space for lower branches I removed the fan leaves of node 1, 2, and 3 at the end of the week.
Regarding our little nitrogen overdose it seems to get a little better, but maybe some CalMag issues are commin along, since I only fed with non pH-checked tap water.
It's not that dramatic atm so I won't adress it by give additional special nuts.
Hello mates,
another week of flowering has gone by and I think the stretch already found an end at round about 50 cm.
The buds are gettin bigger slowly and a kind of purple color is establishing on some fan leaves.
Ignoring our little overdose of the beginning I started to give some nutriens and will see if I have to stop, raise or remain on the same level.
Hey buddies,
the tropicana cookie girl showed in week 7 why there is also a purple in her surname. A lot of colors showed up, some that gave me good feelings and some other that made me thinking a litlle. I already had to take a off some fan leaves cause else they would fall down anyways in the next days. Unfortunately they showed different possible signs of overdoses but also little deseases, so I decided not to raise the nutrient dose and keep things running as they are. We'll see if she is naked before harvest since there are still almost 5 weeks to go.
Nevertheless the buds are growing continously and there is already a lot of sugar on the same called leaves.
Hey mates,
another week has past and the situation of our Tropicana Girl is still a little complicated. The water take up has slowed down and I recognized while watering that the soil seems to got extremely dense over the last weeks. There are only some perlites swimming up and the rest of the soil contains as one hard surface. So I've tried to loosen it a little and I reduce the watering cycle from 2 to 3 days. Nevertheless I had to remove a lot of fan leaves again and slowly only the buds with their sugar leaves are reamining. The good thing that they are still getting bigger and produce a lot of trichomes so we hope the best 🙏
