Overall Status π
From Β±20 cm β now 38β45 cm
Growth is really exploding now! After the transplant to 11L and the upgrade to the BestVA 415W Pro series (Samsung diodes, dimmable, Meanwell driver), the plants are taking off like a rocket. Bushy structure, short internodes, lots of new side branches pushing through. No stretching, everything looks thick and green.
Environment π‘οΈ

Full spectrum with Veg mode on β leaves are wide open and components green.
Pot & Roots ?
11-liter Air-Pot (transplanted day 25 from 7L)
BioBizz Light-Mix + 20β25% perlite
Roots filling the new pot quickly, transplant shock minimal β plants recovered in 2β3 days.

Day 28: 3 L β Bio-Grow 4 ml/L + Acti-Vera 2 ml/L + RootΒ·Juice leftover
More volume per feeding now that pots are bigger.
Training βοΈ
LST further refined β canopy nice and flat and often round.
FIM/topping done on day 24β25 β new side tops exploding.
12β16 strong main branches per plant.
Stems now stronger and sturdier (thumb thickness almost), perfect for the recommended stretch.
Health β
Dark green, thick sturdy leaves β growing like crazy.
No plates, no deficiencies, no signs after lamp/pot upgrade.
Tropical sweet smell stronger when writing β plants seem more energetic and fuller.
Height end of week 4 π

Strain π± Sweetopia β Paradise Seeds
Overall Status π
From Β±20 cm end of week 3 β now 38β45 cm at flip
Growth was explosive this week thanks to the larger pots and the powerful 415W BestVA. Plants are bushy, with short internodes and 12β16 strong side branches per plant. Flipped to 12/12 today β first pistils already visible on a few nodes (pre-flower signs). Expect minimal stretch (10β20% max, typical for this mostly indica strain). Everything looks super healthy, ready for the flowering phase!

Week 2 Bloei (dag 14 van 12/12) β 2 planten
Strain π± Sweetopia β Paradise Seeds
Algemene status π
Stretch is minimaal geweest (slechts +8β12 cm extra sinds flip), zoals typisch voor deze indica-dominante strain. Planten staan nu op 48β58 cm vanaf potrand. Bud sites zwellen mooi op, overal witte pistils die dikker en talrijker worden. Eerste suikerblaadjes krijgen zichtbare trichomen. Geur bouwt snel op: zoet citrus, mango en een lichte fuel/hasy ondertoon β heerlijk tropisch!

3β3.5 L per plant, 3x per week
Einde week lichte spoeling met lagere EC (1.3) om zoutopbouw tegen te gaan
Training & ontwikkeling βοΈ
Lichte defoliatie ronde 1 gedaan (alleen fan leaves die buds blokkeren)
Canopy blijft gelijkmatig en bossig
Buds worden dikker, pistils krullend en vol β eerste kleine calyxen zichtbaar
Gezondheid & trichomen β
Donkergroen blad, geen tekorten of overvoeding
Geen plagen, geen schimmel
Trichomen: helder met al wat melkachtig begin op suikerblaadjes
Geur lekt al door het filter β zoet tropisch fruit met gas-achtige kick
Hoogte nu π

Plant 2 β 58 cm
Sweetopia gedraagt zich perfect: minimale stretch, snelle bud swell en de harsproductie start al goed. Met de 11L potten en de krachtige BestVA 415W Pro LED bouwt dit uit tot een dikke, plakkerige oogst. Nog vroeg in bloei, maar het ziet er veelbelovend uit!
Tot week 3 bloei

The stretch is long over and the plants are now fully in the thick blooming phase. Buds are swelling significantly, becoming hard and compact. Sugar leaves are almost completely covered with trichomes. Pistils are largely turning brown/orange. The smell is intense: sweet tropical fruit (mango/pineapple), citrus, and a heavy gas/hash undertone β the tent already smells wonderful when you walk in!
