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.
