Tropicana Cookies Purple - Farm #21
Start at Harvest
G
Germination5mo ago
ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Another new strain in my 21st cycle.
Unfortunately, there was one before this one but it failed.
The high summer temperatures created conditions that the plants couldn't handle.
So the entire last grow was a failure.
Let's get to the beginning.
Tropicana Cookies Purple Auto, another interesting auto strain from the rich RQS collection, and with the longest name :).
To start, let's meet the new resident of Butterflies Little Farm, Tropicana Cookies Purple Auto.
TROPICANA COOKIES PURPLE AUTO
Tropicana Cookies Purple Auto pairs high levels of THC with mouthwatering and refreshing citrus and pineapple flavours.
Breeders from RQS created this sativa-dominant hybrid by crossing parent strains OG Kush Auto with Tropicana Cookies Purple.
Derived from Haze 2.0 Autoflowering and OG Kush, OG Kush Auto brought a happy and hungry high and great productivity into the mix. Tropicana Cookies Purple, which descends from Purple Punch and Tropicanna Cookies,
infused the progeny with a stunning purple aesthetic and boatloads of trichomes.
With a THC content of 20%, the Tropicana Cookies Purple Auto cannabis strain exerts a fast-acting and long-lasting effect.
Her fruity terpene profile synergizes with her cannabinoid content, steering the high in an energizing and uplifting direction.
Expect creative thoughts, waves of motivation, and the urge to get things done.
Moreish flavors of citrus, pineapple, and tropical tones round off the experience.
SET-UP ON MY LITTLE FARM:
Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178
Lights - MIGRO 200+, Migro Aray 4
Ventilation - TT Silent-M 100
Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125
Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix
Pot - 11L fabric pots

Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition
Let's officially start the diary:
02/10/2025
Planting day. I used fabric pots in which I first filled half of the BioBizz LightMix.
After that, I added Easy Boost Organic Nutrition in the form of pellets and Sea Weed.
On top of that, I put another 1/4 of the soil and mixed everything together.
After that, I filled the pot to the top and soaked it well with water.
And finally, I made a small hole in the middle and buried the seed in it.
05/10/2025
The plant hasn't sprouted yet so I just sprayed some water on the surface.
06/10/2025
Tropicana Cookies Purple has sprouted.
07/10/2025
Taking a photo of the sprout.
That's all for now, see you soon with another update.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Tropicana Cookies has completed its first week of cycle.
And as you can see in the photos, it is making great progress.
Tropicana Cookies, on the first day of vegetation, was 4.5 cm tall, by the end of the week it was 10 cm, which is double in seven days.
Although he is currently the smallest on the Farm.
The conditions on the Farm are good, the humidity is slightly higher than 50% while the temperature is around 27 degrees.
Watering is not abundant. Every two to three days I water with two liters of water.
I haven't started adding nutrients yet, I just regulate the pH of the water.
Here's what the first week of vegetation looked like:
12/10/2025 - Day 1.
Photographing and watering. I watered with 1.5 liters of water.
Height on the first day of vegetation, Tropicana Cookies - 4.5 cm.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
The second week of vegetation is behind me and as the photos show Tropicana Cookies is growing nicely and quickly.
This week it grew 8 cm, which is almost double in a week and is now 18 cm.
It is the smallest plant currently on the Farm.
Tropicana Cookies has a small gap between the branches,
which also makes the leaves densely placed so that I can barely see the stem.
The beginning of the formation of flowers can be seen on the branches, although it will take another two weeks for them to form.
The conditions on the Farm are good, I would say, humidity is around 50% while the temperature is around 27 degrees.
Watering is every three to four days.
This week I started adding easy grow booster tablets when watering and I continued adding CalMg.
Here is a short overview of the past week:
21/10/2025 - Day 10.
Watering. I prepared 5 liters of water for all three plants on the farm.
I added one easy grow booster tablet, 5 ml of CalMg and then lowered the p.H. to 6.0 with Lemon Kick.
24/10/2025 - Day 13.
Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier except for the easy grow tablet.
25/10/2025 - Day 14.
Photographing and measuring the height of the plants.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
We have reached the end of the third week of vegetation and Tropicana Cookies is slowly entering the flowering phase.
Tropicana Cookies has grown about 15 cm this week, which is almost double in seven days.
It is now 34 cm tall, making it the lowest plant on the Farm.
The distance between the branches is not large, but it increases as the plant grows.
The flowers are not yet formed, they are just shyly preparing the places where they will appear.
Watering is still every three days. As the plants on the Farm grow, I increase the amount of water for watering.
I continued to add CalMg and easy grow bloom tablets.
Here is what the past week looked like:
27/10/2025 - Day 16.
Watering.
I prepared 7 liters of water, added one easy grow booster tablet and 7 ml of CalMg.
After that, I lowered the p.H. to 6.1 with Lemon Kick.
I watered all three plants on the Farm with this.
30/10/2025 - Day 19.
Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
01/11/2025 - Day 21.
Photographing and measuring height.
TROPICANA COOKIES PURPLE AUTO - Day 21. - 34 cm.
I think that's all for this week. See you soon.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Tropicana Cookies has wrapped up its first week of flowering.
Compared to the other two plants on the farm, she’s running a little behind — but that doesn’t mean anything is wrong.
If anything, the photos show she’s an absolute beauty.
This week she stretched to almost 60 cm, catching up with Royal Creamatic.
Her branches are spaced more closely, giving her a bushier structure, so I did a light leaf cleanup to open her up a bit.
Flowering has officially begun here as well.
Pistils are just starting to show and are still green, which is a clear sign that she’s entering the very early stages of bloom.
Leaf color looks great — a healthy green — which isn’t surprising given the conditions she’s growing in 🙂
Watering is done every three days.
CalMag remains part of the routine, and starting this week I’ve added a bio flowering booster to support her through flowering.
Here’s a quick recap of the past week:
03/11/2025 – Day 23
Watering day.
Prepared 9 liters of water, added Bigger Flowers and CalMag, adjusted the pH to 6.0, and watered all three plants.
06/11/2025 – Day 26
Watering.
Same procedure as three days earlier.
08/11/2025 – Day 28
Photos taken and plant height measured.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Week two of flowering is complete, and Tropicana Cookies is progressing very well.
Bud formation is underway, with pistils becoming significantly more visible compared to last week.
The plant has developed dense branching with a high number of leaves.
Light defoliation was performed on the lower part of the plant to improve airflow and make watering easier.
Farm conditions remain stable, with temperatures around 27°C and relative humidity at approximately 40%.
Watering continues on a three-day cycle, with CalMag and Bio Flowering Booster added at each feeding.
Here is a quick overview of the week:
10/11/2025 - Day 30.
Watering. I watered each plant with approximately 2.5 liters of water.
I added CalMg and Bio Flowering Booster. I lowered the p.H. to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick.

Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Week 3 of flowering is officially over, and Tropicana Cookies is looking fantastic.
As seen in the photos, she is healthy and happy, reaching around 87–90 cm, which is perfect for my farm setup.
Stretch has slowed down a lot compared to last week, so it looks like she’s very close to her final height.
Bud sites are developing nicely, with pistils clearly visible and flowers slowly opening up.
The plant has a fun, irregular structure, with side branches at different heights, giving her a really cute and natural look.
The lower part of the plant has been completely cleaned up.
Some leaves were slightly lighter in color, but this seems to be a strain characteristic rather than any deficiency.
Watering continues every three days, with CalMag and Bio Flowering Booster added.
Here’s how the week went:
17/11/2025 – Day 37.
Watering. Prepared 9 liters of water with CalMag and Bio Flowering Booster, used for all three plants on the farm.
20/11/2025 – Day 40.
Watering. Same procedure as three days earlier.
22/11/2025 – Day 42.
Photographing and measuring plant height.

That’s all for this week. See you soon and happy growing! 🌿✨

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Week seven is complete, and Tropicana Cookies is looking absolutely fantastic, progressing beautifully day by day.
The photos clearly show heavy trichome development, with resin now generously coating the flowers.
The aroma has also intensified significantly, becoming richer and more pronounced.
Meanwhile, the fan leaves are gradually fading into a pale yellow tone — a good sign that the plant is entering its final stages of maturity.
The buds have filled out nicely over the past week, although they haven’t yet reached that fully milky trichome stage.
Watering is currently done every three days, with each plant receiving approximately 3 liters of water.
As of this week, I’ve stopped adding nutrients and switched to plain water only, with the pH adjusted down.
Here's what the past week looked like:
23/11/2025 – Day 43.
Watering day.
Prepared 9 liters of water and adjusted the pH to 6.0 using Plagron Lemon Kick. All three plants were watered evenly.
26/11/2025 – Day 46.
Watering day. Repeated the same process as before.
29/11/2025 – Day 49
Took photos of the plants and followed up with watering all three.
That’s it for this week — thanks for stopping by, and see you soon with the next update! 🌱✨

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Tropicana Cookies is slowly but surely approaching harvest.
The leaves have started to fade into a pale yellow hue, which is a clear sign that the plant is entering its final stage of maturity.
However, the trichomes are still mostly clear, and haven’t yet begun turning milky, so there’s still a little time to go.
In my opinion, about another week should bring her right into the ideal harvest window.
The flowers have developed beautifully over the past days — dense, well-stacked, and absolutely coated in trichomes.
Resin production is impressive, giving the buds a frosty appearance, while the aroma has become incredibly intense,
filling the grow space with a rich and distinctive scent.
As for feeding, I’ve now fully stopped adding nutrients and switched to plain, pH-adjusted water only.
Watering continues every three days,
allowing the plants to use up any remaining nutrients in the medium and ensuring a smoother final product.
Here’s a quick look at how the past week went:
02/12/2025 – Day 52.
Watering day. I prepared 9 liters of water, adjusted the pH, and evenly distributed it across all three plants in the farm.
05/12/2025 – Day 55.
Watering. Repeated the same process as before — consistent routine, no changes.
06/12/2025 – Day 56.
Photo session to mark the end of week eight. The plants are looking great and progressing exactly as expected at this stage.
That’s all for now — I’ll be back soon with another update as we get closer to harvest time 🌱

ButterfliesLittleFarm Hello Diary,
Week nine has wrapped up, and my Tropicana Cookies has officially reached harvest day.
At first glance, she didn’t quite look ready to me — I was expecting a bit more visual maturity.
However, after taking a closer look under the microscope, the story changed completely.
The trichomes were predominantly milky, which for me is the clearest signal that she has entered peak ripeness.
That was the deciding factor — harvest time.
I have to admit, I didn’t expect such a satisfying outcome.
Early in the flowering stage, the buds seemed a bit underwhelming and slow to develop.
But patience paid off — towards the end, they really started to bulk up and fill out beautifully.
A great reminder that some strains just take their time before showing their full potential.
She also carried quite a lot of foliage until the end.
I chose not to defoliate aggressively, preferring to let her finish more naturally rather than stressing her in the final stretch.
In hindsight, I’m happy with that decision.
What really stands out is the speed.
From seed to harvest, it only took 73 days, which is impressively fast for this kind of result.
Definitely a strain that doesn’t like to waste time.
The final week was dedicated to a clean flush — only plain water with a carefully adjusted pH of 6.0.
No nutrients, just giving the plant a chance to finish clean and use up any remaining reserves.
Final Week Overview:
08/12/2025 – Day 58.
Watering day. Prepared 3 liters of water per plant.
11/12/2025 – Day 61.
Watering. 3 liters per plant, pH adjusted to 6.0.
13/12/2025 – Day 63.
End of Week 9. Final photoshoot before harvest.
14/12/2025 – Day 64
Harvest day. Tropicana Cookies is officially cut.
That’s it for now. The journey doesn’t end here —
I’ll be back soon with a full final report, covering everything from start to finish, including yield, aroma, smoke report, and overall impressions.
See you soon, and happy growing 🌱

Week 10. Harvest2mo ago
Happy Harvest Day!
10/10
Rated
Tropicana Cookies Purple – the name alone makes your mouth water, and it definitely lives up to the hype once you try it.
This sativa-dominant beauty comes from a cross between Tropicana Cookies Purple and OG Kush Auto, creating a fantastic balance of productivity and uplifting vibes.
With a THC level around 20%, it packs a solid punch, so mindful dosing is definitely recommended.
The entire grow cycle was impressively fast — from seed to harvest, it took just 73 days. Truly a pleasure to run.
In the end, she rewarded me with 73 grams of dense, trichome-covered buds.
The aroma is absolutely delicious — a rich blend of fruity and sweet notes that really stand out.
Unfortunately, my main cola — the one I always love photographing — took a hit and snapped at the very top, so the final photos feature a slightly “headless” version
This strain is a perfect match for my personal preference.
As a daily smoker, I really appreciate something that keeps my mind stimulated while helping me stay positive
and productive throughout the day.

ButterfliesLittleFarm Finally, a few closing thoughts.
Tropicana Cookies Purple truly seemed to enjoy her time on my little farm.
Throughout all 73 days of her journey, she showed nothing but resilience and stability, never once giving me a reason to worry.
I did my best to provide her with the right environment and care, and in return she rewarded me generously — with stunning, colorful flowers and a rich, fruity aroma that brings a little extra enjoyment to my everyday life.
For that, I’m genuinely grateful.
Overall, the grow followed a smooth and fairly classic timeline: three weeks of vegetation followed by six weeks of flowering.
After a careful 14-day drying period, the final yield came to 73 grams of beautifully dried flowers.
I have to say, I’m more than satisfied with the outcome.
As you might notice in the photos, there was a small mishap along the way — my main cola unfortunately bent and the very top snapped off. Rather than hide it, I decided to document it honestly, so you’ll see her “headless” in some of the final shots 🙂.
Even with that setback, she finished strong and delivered excellent results.
Over the course of these 10 weeks, I did my best to capture and document every important stage in this diary.
With regular updates and photos, I hope I was able to give you a clear and helpful week-by-week insight into the entire process.
Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who followed along, supported me, and shared kind words throughout this grow — it truly means a lot. Special thanks to the team at RQS for their continued support from the very beginning, and to Grow Diaries for providing such an amazing platform for growers to connect and share their experiences.
See you soon with new diaries and future grows 🌱
