Natulla Für den USA Genetics 2026 Contest von Super Sativa Seed Club habe ich mich für The Tropical Ice Cream One entschieden.
Die Sorte klang einfach zu spannend – tropische Aromen und cremiger Touch? Klingt nach einer richtig leckeren Kombi 😄
Ich nehme ganz entspannt aus Spaß am Contest teil und freue mich auf den Austausch hier auf GrowDiaries.
Gesetzt habe ich sie am 27.02., und am 02.03. hat sie schon das Licht der Welt erblickt 🌱
Seitdem zeigt sie sich jeden Tag ein Stück mehr und entwickelt sich bisher richtig schön.
Ich bin gespannt, was die Lady indoor noch so abliefert.
Updates folgen natürlich regelmäßig – von Anfang bis Ernte.

Natulla The first real veg week has begun 💚
I transplanted her today into her 11-liter pot so she has enough space to develop properly. When repotting, I mixed half a pack of Monster Buds from Zamnesia into the soil to give her a good foundation from the start.
Currently, she's at 3.5 cm – still small, but strong and vigorous.
She’s showing a bit more every day and so far looks very stable.
Let’s see how she stretches in the next few days.
The journey with The Tropical Ice Cream One continues 🍦

Natulla The second week has begun and The Tropical Ice Cream One is continuing to develop well. So far, it has reached a height of 5.9 cm and overall looks very healthy. The leaves look strong and it is growing slowly but steadily. Everything is going smoothly so far and it seems to be happy in its 11L pot. I'm curious to see how it develops in the coming days 🌱🍦

Natulla The third week is underway and The Tropical Ice Cream One is doing well 💪
Currently, it's reached 11.6 cm and is developing nicely bushy. Yesterday (03/16), I topped it to control the growth a bit and get more main shoots later.
It handled the intervention well and continues to look stable 🌱
Now I'm curious to see how it reacts to the topping and how it branches out in the coming days.
It's getting exciting 🍦✨

Natulla The fourth week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One is continuing to develop really well 😎
With a current height of 16 cm, she looks very nice and healthy. After topping, she appears stable and continues to grow evenly.
Overall, everything is going smoothly and she looks strong and vibrant 🌱
I'm curious to see how she develops in the coming time.
The journey continues 🍦

Natulla The fifth week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One is growing nicely 🚀
So far, it has reached a size of 26 cm and continues to look very healthy and vital.
Today I started with LST to tie down the shoots a bit and achieve a more even structure. The goal is to bring more light to the lower areas and later develop several nice bud sites.
So far, she is doing great with it – I am curious to see how she adjusts in the coming days 🌱🍦
It's getting exciting ✨
Little update on the side:
On 01.04. I changed the lighting time to 12/12 to initiate the flowering phase 🌸
The Tropical Ice Cream One can now show what she's made of. I am curious to see how quickly she goes into bloom and how stretch and structure develop.
From now on, it’s getting really interesting 🍦✨

Natulla The sixth week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One is really picking up. With a current height of 42 cm, it has stretched nicely and continues to make a very good impression. It looks healthy, strong, and is handling the switch to 12/12 super well so far. There are currently no signs of flowering yet. I’ll keep an eye on it and am curious to see when it shows the first signs 🌸 Onward we go 🍦✨

Natulla The seventh week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One has really taken off. With a height of 64 cm, the stretch is clearly visible and it's also clear now that it went into flowering a while ago 🌸 The first signs of flowering are unmistakable. From now on, in addition to water, it will receive Terra Bloom from Plagron to optimally support the flowering. It continues to make a really good impression – healthy, vibrant, and on the right track. Now I'm curious to see how the buds develop in the coming weeks 🍦✨

Natulla The eighth week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One is growing diligently 🌱
At a height of 78 cm, it's starting to get quite crowded in the tent 😄 She's spreading out nicely and taking up a good amount of space.
I thinned her out a bit so more light and air can get through. It was getting tight at the top, so I had to carefully bend a few branches down to distribute everything better.
But she's handling it well and continues to look healthy 🌸
Let's see how she develops now in the flowering stage.
Onward we go 🍦✨

Natulla The ninth week has already begun – I'm a bit late with the update this time 😅
The Tropical Ice Cream One has now reached 86 cm, and it's getting pretty tight at the top of the tent. The stretch has hit hard, but she’s still quite manageable.
Despite the lack of space, she continues to make a very good impression – healthy, stable, and beautiful in bloom.
Let's see how much more she wants to grow… it will definitely be exciting 🍦✨

Natulla The tenth week has started and The Tropical Ice Cream One has now reached 87 cm – luckily, it seems to be finishing up the stretch slowly 😄 The height in the tent is pretty much maxed out. Now the energy is really going into the buds, which are getting more magnificent day by day 🌸✨ It's building up nicely and still looks healthy. Now it’s getting really exciting in the flowering phase!

Natulla The eleventh week has already started and The Tropical Ice Cream One is now at 88 cm 😄 Luckily, she's holding back a bit on the height.
The buds are noticeably getting bigger and are becoming more massive 🌸
You can really tell how she's picking up speed in the flowering stage.
With the current development, she will probably need some support soon to prevent anything from bending later on. So far, though, she's still making a really good impression.

Natulla The twelfth week has already begun and I'm a bit late with the update again 😅
The Tropical Ice Cream One has become quite heavy on top and tends to lean to the side 🌸 The buds have really bulked up in the last few weeks.
We're slowly heading towards the finish line. From now on, she'll only get water without nutrients so she can mature nicely.
She still looks great and I'm curious to see how she'll develop in the final stretch 🍦✨

Natulla The thirteenth week has begun and The Tropical Ice Cream One is now in the final stretch 🍦🔥
In the next few days, she will be cut down – so it won't be long now. The buds are nicely swollen and she gives a really strong impression overall.
And the name really says it all 😄
The smell is totally going in the tropical-creamy direction and is coming through really intensely now. Definitely a strain that grabs attention as soon as you open the tent 🌴🍨
Now it's just about enjoying the last few days and then it's harvest time ✂️✨
Good decision 😉 Tropical-creamy can really deliver. If it's starting off this beautifully now, it's going to be exciting. Best of luck in the contest and a stable, frosty journey until harvest! 🌱✌️
Looks good, recovered, and really healthy. 💪 The flowering takes a bit longer with younger plants in general, but as you rightly suspect, you'll see something soon. 👌
