all_about_420 A new chapter in the tent begins with the planting of the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version from @Sweet_Seeds Seeds. This photoperiod-dependent, ultra-fast flowering strain comes from the high-profile cross of Tropicanna Cookies and Red Poison Auto. The primary goal of this phase is a controlled, vigorous germination to fully exploit the genetic potential from "The Red Family" from day one. A big thank you goes to the Canna-Community-Germany, with whom this exciting project is being realized. The starting gun has fired, and the first updates on root activity will follow by the end of the week.

all_about_420 The first official week of vegetation for our selection from Sweet Seeds is going absolutely according to plan. After a successful germination phase, the seedling showed itself at the beginning of the week with fully unfolded cotyledons and the first true, fine leaf pair in the tissue pot. Thanks to optimal environmental conditions, the young sprout has made excellent developmental progress over the seven days: By the weekend, the plant is already presenting well-developed, deeply serrated foliage and shows a vital, healthy color in the fresh growth. The root growth in the substrate provides the perfect foundation for the upcoming growth phase. A successful start to this joint project!

all_about_420 In the second week of growth, the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version picks up massive speed. The internode distances are compact as usual, while the foliage has rapidly expanded. At the beginning of the week, still delicate, the young lady presents herself by the weekend as a robust, well-structured plant with beautifully developed, multi-fingered sun leaves. The fresh growth in the center is a rich, vibrant light green and indicates a highly efficient nutrient uptake in the substrate. The first side shoots in the leaf axils are also pushing out strongly and laying the foundation for a bushy, stable structure. The genetics from Sweet Seeds clearly show their administrative strength in terms of growth speed here.

all_about_420 In the third week of vegetation, the dynamics of the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version are absolutely impressive. A direct comparison with two other strains that were germinated at exactly the same time highlights the administrative strength of this genetics from Sweet Seeds: Our vital lady is significantly more developed, stronger, and more robustly structured than her competitors, which underscores the speed of the "Fast Version" even in this early phase. Due to this vigorous growth and excellent vitality with a rich, healthy green, the decision was made to top the plant to break the apical dominance and promote a bushier structure with more main stems. The reaction to the intervention was excellent, and the plant shows no signs of stress. On the contrary: The two new main stems in the upper leaf axils are already pushing forward vigorously, and the lower side branches are also benefiting significantly from the newly redistributed energy. She has recovered excellently and continues her growth trajectory with high dynamism.

all_about_420 The fourth week was all about targeted plant training. At the beginning of the week, the strong main stem was cut (Topping) to break the apical dominance. The exclusive Bob Marley genetics handled this high-stress intervention without any significant delays. By midweek, a noticeable recovery was visible, after which the first low-stress training measures (LST) followed to keep the newly emerging main stems flat and optimize light distribution. By the weekend, the sturdy lady was looking extremely vibrant, well-branched, and with a perfectly opened structure. The energy is now distributed absolutely evenly across the new stems – a complete success in training.

all_about_420 In the fifth week of vegetation, the training of the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version was consistently continued. At the beginning of the week, the plant showed fully upright shoot tips and an impressive leaf mass after the previous measures. To further maximize branching and build a perfectly even flower canopy, the next cut followed in the middle of the week: a second topping of the remaining main shoots. Even with this intervention, the exotic beauty from Sweet Seeds impressively demonstrated its genetic strength. Thanks to the fast metabolism of the Fast Version, it handled the topping without any issues and regenerated in no time. By the end of the week, the new shoots were already pushing up strongly again. The basic structure is stable, nutrient uptake is running at full speed, and the path for the final phase of vegetation is perfectly paved.

all_about_420 The sixth week of vegetation marks a crucial milestone in shaping the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version. At the start of the week, a generous defoliation was carried out in the lower third to consistently remove weaker micro shoots and unnecessary shadow leaves, directing energy supply specifically to the upper main stems. At the same time, the dominant outer shoot tips were topped and precisely brought to a uniform height to create an absolutely homogeneous flowering canopy.
The crowning conclusion of the week was the repotting into the final 15-liter fabric pot. The root development of the previous substrate was excellent and reflected the unwavering vitality of this outstanding genetics from Sweet Seeds. With fresh nutrient buffer, increased root space, and a perfectly balanced structure, the red beauty is now optimally prepared to soon initiate the flowering phase.

all_about_420 After the move to the 15-liter final pot, the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version quickly established itself in the new root space and reacted with a massive boost. This week, the focus was on structuring the flower canopy: targeted LST was used to tie down dominant shoots outward, while light lollipopping in the lower area optimized airflow and directed energy upward. The genetics from Sweet Seeds present a perfectly balanced, homogeneous flower canopy and are bursting with health. With full vigor in the leaves and optimal nutrient supply, the stunning lady is now perfectly prepared to be sent into flowering shortly.

all_about_420 The eighth week marks the official finale of the vegetative phase for the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version. Our sweet exotic from Sweet Seeds has masterfully filled the 15-liter pot and presents itself extremely bushy, homogeneous, and with maximum vitality. By the end of the week, the crucial move followed: the move to the flowering tent under the classic 12/12 light cycle. With this stable base structure and plenty of power in the nodes, nothing stands in the way of the upcoming stretch and a spectacular flowering.

all_about_420 Die erste Blütewoche der Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version startet mit maximalem Schwung. Die Lady steht perfekt im Saft, zeigt eine tiefe, gesunde Vitalität und hat den typischen Pre-Flower-Stretch direkt eingeleitet. Besonders beeindruckend ist die extrem kurze Reaktionszeit auf die photoperiodische Umstellung: Bereits fünf bis sechs Tage nach dem Wechsel auf das 12/12-Lichtregime sind an den Internodien die ersten weißen Pistillen (Blütenhärchen) deutlich sichtbar. Dieses frühe Einsetzen der generativen Phase ist ein Paradebeispiel für die Fast-Flowering-Genetik von Sweet Seeds. Durch die rasante Hormonumstellung im Pflanzengewebe dürfte der vertikale Stretch eher moderat und kontrolliert ausfallen, da die Pflanze ihre Energie bereits sehr früh in den Aufbau der eigentlichen Blütenkelche investiert. Das Blütendach ist homogen, der Nährstoffhaushalt optimal eingestellt – die Weichen für eine kompakte, harzige Blütenpracht in Zusammenarbeit mit der Canna-Community-Germany sind perfekt gestellt.

all_about_420 The second flowering week of the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version is proceeding absolutely according to the textbook. The flower development is now in full swing: Dense, vital flower sites (Budsites) are forming at all shoot tips with a steadily increasing number of snow-white pistils. The vertical stretch behaves exemplary and remains pleasantly within limits. Thanks to the fast F1-Fast genetics from Sweet Seeds, the plant has made the transition from length growth to pure flower production extremely quickly. The crown canopy remains compact, homogeneous, and perfectly at one height. Nutrient uptake is stable, leaf health flawless – the best conditions for the upcoming mass and resin formation phase!

all_about_420 In the third week of flowering, the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version has officially completed its vertical stretch. The plant impresses with a compact, homogeneous growth pattern and pleasantly short internodal distances – optimal conditions for the colas to merge into dense, seamless flower clusters in the coming weeks.
By the end of the week, the tried-and-true lollipopping was on the agenda: the lower third was selectively thinned out, weaker shoots were removed, and excess foliage was taken off to allow the lady to breathe freely again and maximize air circulation in the tent. The generative phase is running at full speed, and all the juice is now being directed straight to the upper flower clusters. If the Sweet Seeds genetics continues to live up to its name, the mass gain should progress extremely rapidly in the next few days.

all_about_420 The fourth week of flowering impressively proves that last week's lollipopping has fully paid off. The Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version is now uncompromisingly channeling its energy into the upper levels: The flower buds are visibly swelling, and along the main stems, the colas are growing together into massive, closed strands thanks to the short internodal distances.
A real highlight is the rapidly increasing trichome production. A glittering frost carpet is spreading from the flower buds far beyond the adjacent sugar leaves. Upon closer inspection, the first subtle darker color nuances are already emerging in the bud area and at the leaf nodes – the legendary genetics from The Red Family by Sweet Seeds is slowly starting to speak. The vitality is unbroken, nutrient uptake is at peak levels, and the lady is speeding towards the final ripening phase.
The little one is doing great! 👌😉 I can only update on the weekend and do some serious defoliation.. But my watering seems to be working and doing its job..
