HowtoBubatz Starting this new journey, I decided to germinate 2x Cookies Automatic seed from Fast Buds. This strain was recommended to me, and Iโm genuinely curious to see how it will turn out!
To begin, I placed both seed in a hydrogen peroxide water solution to oxygenate the water and protect it from pathogens. After 36 hours, the seed cracked open and began to sprout. I transferred it into a coco tab and placed it in the propagation station for three days. During this time, the seedlings grew rapidly and were on the verge of becoming leggy. To address this, I carefully repositioned them slightly deeper into the coco tab to ensure they remained stable.
Afterward, I transplanted the seedlings into a 15L pot filled with a custom soil mix. I used soil from older runs that I had sieved, combined with worm humus and mycorrhiza for healthy microbial activity. To support early-stage growth, I topped the soil with a layer of coco coir for the first week.
Now the real adventure begins, and Iโm excited to see how this Tropicana Cookies Auto grows and flourishes!๐ฑ

HowtoBubatz The first week of vegetation is here, and itโs been a bit of a mixed start for my two plants.๐ฑ
One of them is looking a little droopy, while the other has developed slightly yellow leaves.
Iโm not entirely sure whatโs causing these issues, but Iโve decided to give both plants their first dose of nutrients to help prevent further damage and hopefully get them back on track.
Iโve been checking on them daily and keeping a close eye on their progress. Iโm staying hopeful that theyโll bounce back and show improvement by next week.๐ฑ

HowtoBubatz Itโs now the second week of vegetation, and Iโm seeing some mixed progress. One of the plants is finally starting to recover! ๐ฑ
The leaves are looking healthier, and growth is picking up slowly but surely.
Unfortunately, the other plant is still struggling. It hasnโt shown much improvement and remains droopy with little change.
Iโm keeping a close eye on it and making small adjustments, hoping it will bounce back soon.
Iโll continue monitoring both daily and see how they progress in the coming days. Fingers crossed for some improvement next week!๐

HowtoBubatz This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!๐ฑ
Itโs looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of floweringโexciting!
Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.๐ฉ
It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1.
If it doesnโt start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant.
Iโll give it a little more time, but letโs see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!๐ค

HowtoBubatz The first week of flowering is here, and things are finally looking much better!
Both plants have recovered well and are now growing much healthier.๐ฑ
#1 has already started stretching significantly, really picking up speed. Itโs exciting to see how quickly itโs developing! Meanwhile.
#2 spent about half the week still in vegetation, but towards the end, I finally spotted the first signs of flowering.
Now that both are officially in bloom, Iโm looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop over the next weeks. On to the next phase! ๐

HowtoBubatz This week has been wild! #1 is stretching like crazy. I've never seen anything like this before.๐ฑ
It just keeps reaching higher, and the buds are already showing some deep black/purple hues.
Looks like this one is going to be something special!๐
Meanwhile, #2 has finally stabilized, but the slow start turned it into a total dwarf.
Because of its small size, Iโm considering replacing it with another plant. Iโll give it another week under observation before making a final decision maybe it still has some potential! ๐
Excited to see what next week brings!

HowtoBubatz What a crazy contrast between these two plants! ๐ฑ
#1 has officially become the tallest plant Iโve ever had in the tent. I never expected that, especially with #2 being such a dwarf in comparison.
#1 is showing some incredible black and purple tones in the buds, which is super exciting to see.
Meanwhile, #2 is finally starting to bulk up its buds and is actually producing more trichomes than #1 at this stage.
Looks like this little one still has some surprises in store!
Iโve decided to keep #2 and see what it can do in the coming weeks. Letโs see how things develop!๐

HowtoBubatz The plants are doing amazing! Both are producing more and more trichomes, and the buds are noticeably thickening up.๐ฑ
#1 (the tall one) continues to impressโitโs now giving off a strong tropical mango scent! The aroma is so sweet and fruity, itโs crazy.
Meanwhile, #2, despite being so small, has developed a surprisingly large main bud!
The smell is completely different, thoughโleaning more towards a hazy, complex scent thatโs hard to describe.๐ค
Super happy with the progress so farโletโs see what the next weeks bring!๐

HowtoBubatz The plants are now putting all their energy into bud production, and itโs really starting to show!๐ฑ
Both are developing bigger and bigger buds, and the smell is becoming more intense every day.
#2 has an insanely large main bud, completely covered in trichomes.
The aroma is very hazy, deep, and complex. itโs going to be interesting to see how it develops in the coming weeks.
#1, on the other hand, continues to impress with its tropical, sweet, and pineapple-like scent, and its buds are also swelling up beautifully!
Everything is going exactly as it shouldโexcited to see how much more theyโll bulk up in the next weeks!๐

HowtoBubatz Things are getting serious now!๐ฅ
#2 has developed an insanely large main bud, absolutely packed with trichomes and giving off a super pungent aroma. ๐ฟ
Meanwhile, #1 keeps stretching and is still the biggest plant in the tent. It continues to give off that stunning sweet, tropical scent, which is just unreal!
Both plants seem to be moving fastโI have a feeling they might be ready in about two weeks. Letโs see how they finish up! ๐คฉ

HowtoBubatz Itโs almost time! This week both plants are getting flushed to prepare them for harvest. ๐ฑ
After that, theyโll be cut down and hung up to dry.
#2 has developed an absolutely massive main bud โ honestly the biggest I've ever had so far!
Meanwhile, #1 stands proud as the tallest plant in the tent, still giving off that amazing sweet, tropical aroma.๐๐ฌ
Both plants have shown a very fast flowering time, finishing up quicker than expected!
Upon checking the trichomes, about 65% are milky, 30% amber, and 5% still clear โ exactly where I want them for the effects I'm aiming for.
Super excited to see the final results after the dry and cure๐
I grew the Papaya Cookies Auto from Fast Buds, and while I had a few issues at the start, the plant really came through in the end. During the flowering stage, everything turned around, and I was blown away by the results.
The buds are absolutely stunning and covered in resin. The aroma and flavor are pure tropical goodness โ sweet, fruity, and refreshing, with a hint of earthiness.
The effects are relaxing yet uplifting, making it a perfect strain for chilling out. Despite the rough start, Iโm definitely sticking with this one.. a true gem!

HowtoBubatz The plants were harvested after spending a solid 72 hours in complete darkness to finish off. ๐ฑ
After the dark period, I cut them down and hung them up to dry.
Surprisingly, they developed an even stronger purple hue. They were already looking pretty purple, but now theyโve taken on an even more intense shade! ๐๐
As for the smells:
#1 is giving off a very sweet, tropical aroma that is just amazing! ๐๐บ
#2 has more of a cookies-like scent, a bit earthy with a sweet touch. ๐ช
Everything went smoothly with the harvest. After 9 days of drying, they were finally ready to be trimmed and placed into the curing jars. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out after a good cure!
