papaterps Tropicana Cookies Auto by FastBuds - Nice stretch, looking healthy

papaterps Tropicana Cookies Auto by FastBuds - really tall and thin, expected given the distance from the light. - not as bushy as I'd have liked her, but I guess she's focusing on getting closer to the light source.

papaterps Tropicana Cookies Auto by FastBuds - impressive growth on her this week, shes had a good stretch and her stem has thickened up a good bit. - I've decided to not perform any growth techniques on her, as the internodal spacing on her seems to be much greater than other plants that I've grown. - I've removed a couple of the lowest leaves, as they are now too low. Note: I'll be away for a few days from this point, so I'll be missing the next couple of weeks.

papaterps Tropicana Cookies Auto by FastBuds - Back after a few days away and shes absolutely shot up; from about 15cm to around 100cm... this strain has a fast growing reputation, and I can see why! Shes so tall, that I've had to bend a few of her taller stems, to keep them away from the light, so shes now around 75cm. - She has already start to flower, so I've changed her feeding to include bloom nutrience.

papaterps Tropicana Cookies Auto by FastBuds - Her cola are bloating up really fast, the smell is incredible ~ its like drinking a shot of passion fruit liqueur every time I open the tent to check on her! - Her trichomes are starting to look good, and her pistils are starting to turn amber! - I've removed a few leaves, only really the ones that looked sad ~ she really has been the easiest strain to grow; little to no work required!

papaterps Tropicana Cookies Automatic - FastBuds She smells amazing, her nugs are fat and plump and with the cold weather coming in, her leaves have started to colour and her nugs are taking a purple hue - She's beautiful! She has an interesting structure, where 90% of her hugs are at the top of the canopy, with very little overall foliage; I've only taken a handful of leaves off her. You could easily grow six of these in a 3x3. She's starting to show signs of a nutrient lock-out, but luckily she's only a few days away from harvest; her pistils are mostly amber and around 70% of her terpenes are Milky, so Today I have given her her first flush, I will continue this until I harvest her; in around a week from now.

papaterps Harvest day! I've been checking her trichomes for the last week or so, while flushing, and they've been consistently around 90% milky and 10% clear - I haven't seen any amber trichomes, but that's okay, I like my bud more on the Sativa side anyway 👌🏻 She didn't have many bud sites, but by God, the ones that were there, were size of a tennis balls! She didn't have much foliage either, which made this harvest one of the quickest ever; I had her all down and trimmed within an hour! She smell absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to try her, but for now, she'll have in my tent for about a week and the she'll be cured for a couple of months - but don't worry, I'll test her smoke when she's finished drying
