Borberad ​🌿 Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version 🌿 ​Welcome, fellow growers and genetics enthusiasts, to our latest diary! Once again, we're bringing a true colorful gem into the Borberad tents: the Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version from Sweet Seeds, our third round, which clearly speaks for this little flower. ​This photoperiodic, ultra-fast strain is the result of crossing a selected elite clone of Tropicanna Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Tangie) with the famous red-flowering Red Poison Auto. The special thing: About 80% of the plants develop beautiful red flowers. With an intense, sweet, and dense aroma of mango, earthy and woody notes, along with a slight skunk background, this run promises to be an absolute delight for the senses – with potential THC values of up to 24%. ​⚙️ The Borberad Setup & Environment ​To bring this high-yielding and resinous beauty to its absolute maximum, it will go through our optimized three-tent system if everything goes according to plan, so each of us can always have our plants in a separate tent, if we want to. ​Phase 1: Germination (Mars Hydro Tent) ​Dimensions: 35 cm x 95 cm x 150 cm ​Lighting: 3 levels with 50W each (150W total) ​Air circulation: DIY Vortex ventilation with mini fans ​Phase 2: Growth (Veg Tent – Homebox Ambient R120) ​Dimensions: 90 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm ​Pots & Climate: 20L fabric pots on floor heating (stable at 23 °C), tent heating at 25 °C, and a humidifier currently set to 55%. ​Lighting & Exhaust: Greenception GCX4PWR (180W) + Greenception GCX9PWR (360W), 2x Mars Hydro fans, and a Prima Klima 125mm exhaust (switchable to 160 and 280 m³). ​Phase 3: The Powerhouse (Flower Tent) ​Pots & Climate: 20L fabric pots with floor heating (stable at 23 °C). The incoming air is kept at a stable 25 °C via an AC-Infinity Thermoforge T3, while the AC-Infinity Cloudforge T3 provides moisture to currently control the VPD at 1.2. Everything is connected through the AC Infinity 69 Pro climate controller. ​Lighting & Control: A solid 720W power from two Greenception GCX9PWR (each 360W), supported by 3x Mars Hydro fans (bottom, middle, top) and an AC Infinity Cloudline T6 exhaust. For the perfect start and end of the day, the GC-Signal 2-channel controller simulates a 30-minute "pseudo" sunrise and sunset. ​📊 Strain Profile & Expectations: ​Genetics: Indica 60% / Sativa 40% (Photoperiodic, F1 Fast Version) ​Flowering time (Indoor): Ultra-fast 6–7 weeks ​Yield (Indoor): 450–600 g/m² ​Special feature: Red flowers in about 80% of the individuals. ​Growth behavior: Since the Tropicana Poison is known for its pronounced stretch, height management in the Powerhouse will be an exciting task! ​The seeds are ready to go, the parameters in the system are precisely set, and the Borberad schedule is in place. Get ready for a fast, colorful, and extremely resinous journey. ​Let’s grow! 🚀 Day 0.1 The two seeds (purchase date Spring 2024) come out unopened after 15h in the 1% hydrogen peroxide solution into the Easycube. Let's see if both still have the power; if so, we’ll have to decide again who gets to stay. Day 0.2 Waiting... ... In the evening, one of the two had already made it, so it was moved to the cube, nicely moistened, and a few hours later the helmet was already off. The second one was also allowed into the cube, and it seems something is stirring under the peat. Day 0.3 The second one has made it too. Now it’s time to observe and decide in a few days who gets to stay. ​Day 0.4: They are growing ​Day 0.5: They are growing well. The cube is dry; there's osmosis water with Hesi Root. ​Day 0.6: Both are going strong and are pretty little plants, but the crooked one seems to be in more of a hurry, so the decision will probably fall on her. ​Day 0.7: We decided on the "crooked" one with better root development, so she went in well-germinated and with mycos on the roots into the 3L pots.

Borberad Germination is done, and we've chosen what seems to be the prettier flower. The other lady was added to the compost along with the cube. It's worth noting that the cubes are quite difficult to compost and remain relatively stable for a long time. The remaining flower will now continue in a 3L transplant pot. We've decided to run this grow in 20L and with mineral nutrients.

Borberad The Good one grows quite quickly, as her name suggests, and has already grown strong by day 15. Even the 3L pot could almost be changed. But we're in no rush at all, so the "little" one can take her time to root well first.

Borberad Week 4 The little plant is doing visibly well. 4 becomes 8. To help it handle the stress a bit better, I'm giving Hesi Root before and after the cut. Also once more before and after the upcoming repotting into 20L fabric pots. Day 26 Well, maybe just 7 ½. 😄

Borberad Week 4 Day 1 Nice to see the flicker of the MH lamps in the picture. Never seen that at GC. No matter what frequency I choose on my phone or camera, 25Hz, 30Hz, or 60Hz. Day 31 switch to 20l

Borberad Week 7 We're using the initial growth spurt of the flowering phase to continue training the little flower. Unfortunately, thrips have sneaked in again. Predatory mites are on order.

Borberad Week 8 The flowering has really picked up speed now, and we are switching from TNT and Root to Bloom and Boost. Currently, we still hope that the little flower can support itself and are trying to avoid using support strings (Scrog net) for as long as possible. Among other things, to strengthen the cell walls, it also gets Silca force. The little flower is growing excellently and has reached 80cm (without the pot, of course). Without training (with uncurved shoots), it would now be at least 1m to 1.20 depending on the shoot.

@Borberad, excited to see what's coming next, looking forward to the flip 👍

@wolfvb, I have set up two ladies, we first need to decide. Hopefully for the right one, which will then turn nice and red in the flowering stage. ✌️🍀

She's really into height.

Borberad commented2d ago
@23_GG_GROW, I don't know why either, but in that tent, almost everyone always wants to reach for the sky. Maybe it's the long veg time that's to blame!?

@Borberad, yeah, it's fine if you don't know the genetics. Normal. I see that every time again. Just the best passion.

@23_GG_GROW, Sorry but it's run No. 3. Usually, she stretched about a factor of 2 to 3, but this time she outdid herself. ✌️
