Borberad The Borberadische Society for the Research and Cultivation of Photoperiod-Sensitive Plants with Accelerated Maturity, Department "Red Phenomena," hereby presents the continuation of our scientifically meticulous (sometimes more, often less!) documentation of the Sweed Seeds Tropicana Poison F1 Fast Flowering – in the glorious mission to explore a ruby-red phenotype! Having already undertaken an expedition into the realms of this fascinating variety, we are now embarking on a second, even more focused journey. Our declared goal is to identify and cultivate that elusive, deep red phenotype that deserves an honorary place in the annals of botanical coloration. Witness our nearly daily efforts, supported by high-resolution proof photos and occasional video analyses, which will hopefully bring us closer to the red grail. Review Object: Sweed Seeds Tropicana Poison F1 Fast Flowering Allow us a more precise examination of the genetic and morphological characteristics of our current research focus: * Genetics: Tropicana Poison F1 Fast Flowering is a photoperiodic variety that resulted from the crossing of the original Tropicana Poison with a selected, extremely fast-flowering feminized genetics. This targeted hybridization aims to combine the desirable traits of Tropicana Poison (aroma, potency, potentially red coloration) with a significantly shortened flowering time. The genetic predisposition for red hues is present in the Tropicana Poison line, but it does not always appear dominantly – making our current research effort all the more exciting! * Flowering Duration: Unlike the auto version, this variety requires a traditional light cycle to initiate and complete flowering. Its "Fast Flowering" nature manifests in a shortened flowering time of just 6-7 weeks after the onset of flowering. This allows for a quicker harvest compared to many other photoperiodic varieties. * Size: Tropicana Poison F1 Fast Flowering tends to grow slightly taller than its autoflowering sister. Indoors, heights of 80 to 120 centimeters are quite common, while outdoors, under optimal conditions, it can achieve even more impressive dimensions. However, the exact manifestation strongly depends on the growing conditions and the applied cultivation technique. * Effects: The effects continue to be described as strong and balanced, with an initial cerebral stimulation that transitions into a pleasant physical relaxation. The terpene profile is likely to resemble that of the auto version, with dominant notes of sweet, tropical fruits, possibly with an even more intense expression of citrus and mango aromas. The high THC content remains a characteristic feature of this potent genetics. * Aroma and Flavor: We once again expect an olfactory and gustatory experience dominated by sweet, tropical fruit notes, complemented by earthy and possibly subtly spicy nuances. Our particular focus will naturally be on any olfactory hints that could indicate a potentially red phenotype (although this is more of a visual than an olfactory trait). * Cultivation (with a focus on the red phenotype hunt): Cultivating this variety requires precise control of the light cycle to initiate flowering. Our repeated cultivation of this variety allows us to learn from the experiences of the first grow and optimize our growing techniques to maximize the likelihood of expressing the desired red phenotype. We will pay special attention to environmental factors such as temperature differences during the night phase, which are known to influence pigmentation in some cannabis varieties. Legal Notice (for the legally curious botanists): The legal framework for the cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. must still be observed in Germany. This grow diary documents our ongoing research work in the context of changing legislation. We reiterate that we distance ourselves from any illegal activity and that compliance with applicable laws in our region is of utmost priority. Please thoroughly inform yourself about the current legal situation before considering similar botanical studies. May our second expedition into the world of Tropicana Poison F1 Fast Flowering be crowned with success and finally reveal the longed-for red treasure! Stay tuned for daily visual updates of our "Operation Red Pheno"! As usual, everything begins with a small seed and a tiny glass of 1% hydrogen peroxide for about 20 hours. Then it's off to germinate in a coconut coir pellet until the first roots show.

Borberad After germination, the little one goes into a small noodle pot with Lightmix. Our osmosis water will be enough for the first week, as there is plenty of nutrients in the Lightmix.

Borberad Week 2 The noodle pot is still enough. The clear pot has the advantage that we can see how far the roots are and when we can repot. On day 12, the roots had grown nicely, so we let the soil dry out to then transplant into the 2-liter pot on day 13.

Borberad It probably won't be as red as desired. The smell is quite nice, though.

Borberad The last week has begun. According to the information, it should take 49 days, but it will probably be more like 53-56 days.

Borberad The last few days and she has turned a bit red in the end. Unfortunately, we couldn't control the temperature as planned under the summer conditions. With a lower temperature, the color change might have been more pronounced.

Schöne Pflanze die tatsächlich noch ein wenig rot geworden ist. Insgesamt war sie einfach zu handhaben, legt jedoch einen kräftigen wachstumsschub In der Blüte hin. Platz nach oben schadet also nicht.

Borberad In the last week, the smell and color intensified along with the ambering trichomes. However, it hasn't turned mega red, so another seed will probably land in the soil soon to continue the search for the Lady in Red.

Awesome diary! I grew this strain a few years ago and because of moving house I had to chop itr too early... in my case I have extremely purple buds - check out the diary!
