xTaps 24.03: I moistened two paper towels and placed the seed between two plates in a warmer place.
27.03: As nothing has changed yet, the seed has now been placed in a shot glass with water at room temperature. If nothing has changed in 12 hours, then unfortunately it will probably be a different strain.
Evening of 27.03: 8 hours in a glass of water probably helped, in the meantime the Seedlings heating mat arrived, after which it went back into the two paper towels. Seed shows first “cracks”, looks good after all.
Seed is now in the two paper towels between two plates in the propagator at 25° and 60-70% RH
28.03: A miracle has happened. The seed has popped and can now rest in the 7.5x7.5x7.5cm pot in Bio Terra Plus. The heating mat is still set to 25 degrees, the wet paper towel should keep the RH in the propagator nicely high.
02.04: Before the dark period, I gave her 0.15 ml Biocanna Rhizotonic for the roots in 0.75 ml water.

🔎 Observations:
Plant is healthy and vibrant green
3rd node is fully forming
No stretching – compact and balanced growth
Stem thickening well, no signs of stress
✂️ Topping:
Not topped yet
Waiting for full development of node 3
Planned topping date: April 16–17
💧 Watering:
Top is dry, lower part still moist
No watering today, next check on April 15
Target: ~100ml when needed
🔧 Actions:
Humidifier running; RH rises fast but drops quickly
Hygrostat planned for stability
Plant progressing as expected
Vegetation Week 2, Day 12 (Apr 16, 2025)
The plant is progressing well, and the 3rd node is fully formed. I've decided to wait a little longer before topping to let the plant gain more strength.
Actions today:
Watered with 200 ml
Fed with:
• 0.6 ml Bio Vega
• 0.8 ml Rhizotonic
No drain, watered slowly
Observations:
Plant looks healthy, growth is compact, leaves are a vibrant green. Humidity is stable using a humidifier. No signs of overwatering or deficiencies.

xTaps 🇬🇧 Daybook Entry – April 19, 2025
🌱 Tropicana Cookies (Photoperiod) – Day 15 (VT15)
📍Status: Transplanted into final 19 L pot
🌱 Topping: Not yet done
🌱 Roots: Fully developed and ready for transplant (see photo)
💧Watering:
Yesterday: 200 ml with full nutrients
Today (post-transplant): 500 ml with 3 ml Rhizotonic
🌡️ Temp: 21 °C
💦 RH: 68 %
💡 Light: FC 1500 Evo
📝 Notes: Plant looks strong. Minor leaf droop is expected after transplant. Rhizotonic applied to ease root adaptation to new environment.
📆 Date: April 20, 2025
🌱 VT19 (April 23, 2025)
Three days after topping, the lower branches below the third node were removed today to continue shaping Tropicana for mainlining.
The light was increased to 70 %, but full power is still avoided to reduce post-pruning stress.
Watered with 700 ml, applied slowly in several doses, containing 2 ml/L Rhizotonic and 2 ml/L Bio Vega.
The plant appears strong and upright – mainline structure will continue to be formed in the coming days.

xTaps 🇬🇧 Tropicana Cookies – Grow Diary Entry (Day 22 Veg, 26/04/2025)
The plant appears healthy and vigorous, with the main branches growing strongly towards the light.
The first topping on Day 16 (20/04) was well tolerated, and the two new main branches are developing steadily.
Lower branches beneath the topped node have already been removed to promote a clean mainlining structure.
Today, LST was fine-tuned: the two main branches were carefully tied down to ensure even growth.
Leaves are lush green with no signs of deficiencies or excess.
Light intensity remains at about 70 %, temperature around 24 °C, RH stable at about 56 %.
Today, 700 ml of water with fertilizer was given (Biocanna Vega + Rhizotonic at the previous concentration).
The focus remains on steady development to prepare for the next training step in the coming days.
🌱 Grow Diary – Tropicana Cookies – VD23 – 27/04/2025
Action:
While adjusting LST, the left, large main branch (from the first topping) accidentally broke off. 😭
The branch was placed into a glass of water to possibly save it as a clone.
The plant now has only one of the two main branches. Further corrective actions will be decided based on development.
Plant Condition:
Overall still vital despite the damage. The remaining main branch was re-secured and is under observation.
Environment:
24 °C / 55–60 % RH, light at 70 % intensity, circulation fans running above and below.
700 ml of water with fertilizer was given yesterday, soil remains evenly moist.
