A Trip to PANAMA

HighRoller909 Hello! I'm giving this beautiful sativa a second try.Hopefully I have a female seed this time.19lt Plagron Cocos Premium along with some of their nutrients,GHE Calcium Magnesium and Fulvic Acid. I prefertilized the medium with very little amount of CalMag It was very dry during first week,you can see the signs looking at the picture.Also I burnt it a little bit but it quickly recovered.I'm trying to increase humidity,ordered a humidifier.

HighRoller909 humidifier arrived near the end of this week.since then,it is doing really well. It seems not to like higher EC feedings,that's why I skip on Calmag when I feed her with Cocos A. One day feeding with Cocos A + Fulvic, next day water including GHE Calcium Magnesium 0.5ml/lt . that calmag increases the EC and Panama doesnt like it.Despite early dryness and burn symptoms, it quickly recovered and looking healthy. Before humidifier arrived,I sprayed water containing fulvic acid 2-3 times a day,it worked a bit.

HighRoller909 LST'ing the baby at every feeding.She liked the improved environment,doesn't strictly want calcium.Now both lights are on, 1 HPS & 1 MH , on hours dropped to 18 to avoid high bills.but it is creating a dual spectrum environment,both at 250w. she is already a bushy one. Feeding so far : one day : 1ml Cocos a + 1ml Fulvic Acid + 1ml Sugar royal other day : 0.5ml Cocos a + 0.5 CalMag

HighRoller909 I topped the baby,increased LST,having a nicer shape right now.getting better every day.growing very fast.I see the result of each feeding almost immediately.love the coco.getting bushier. I'm not increasing the feeding.this routine is good for her. first preflowers appeared. I didn't flip to 12/12 yet.showing the sex.nice I have a female one this time...

HighRoller909 I tend to go easy on nutes.im not increasing dosage.she is doing fine. great vigour indeed!!

HighRoller909 I flipped to 12/12 this week but im going to count it as veg.still,stretch started.

HighRoller909 everything looking fine.she is growing bigger.stretch happening since when I flipped to 12/12,no preflower development yet. this ratio of feeding seems to be doing well for her.

HighRoller909 switched to 11 on 13 off to trigger flowering as first 2 weeks of flower wasnt much of a flowering. Now I see pistils coming out,stretch is still happening way too cruel even for me who is growing without a tent.I think I'll need to raise the lamp some more in a week or so.

HighRoller909 stretching,that's all.already doubled its veg size.

HighRoller909 im going to add week 11 soon so we skip to flowering phase.this week was still stretching,prelowers coming slowly.I'm now using 2 hps lamps.it is already a beast.coming soon..

HighRoller909 dropped cocos a to 0.5ml, giving bloom nutes and changing light to hps helped triggering flowering from what I see. I did hst on the tallest branch to gain some space and saving it from suffering high temps up there.it was the lowest branch,from first node of the plant

HighRoller909 cut off cocos a. flowers coming.stretch is still happening but slowed down a lot.I give it 8 more weeks from now on. introducing cocos b and switching to 2xHPS helped triggering flowering I think

HighRoller909 bud sites getting bigger every day.We are fully focused on buds, with bloom fertz. Started giving Green Sensation.Its magic will happen in a couple of weeks Temps were at 28-29C mostly that week,humidity dropped to %50. conditions are OK.We've had some deficiencies but we get over them quickly

HighRoller909 she's coming vigorously having a fresh mango smell when touching.exotic. stretch is minimal,almost stopped. stems are getting thicker. green sensation and calmag for addition,2nd rest week of sugar royal.gonna start again at week 15. I have to tie some branches to avoid hard bendings. stoner geometry works out

HighRoller909 I added Sugar Royal back to the feeding.One day Cocos B+Calmag+Green Sensation,next day only 1ml Sugar Royal. I'm feeding every day,giving 1 day rest between every 3 waterings. Flowers coming bigger every 2 days.It's getting its sativa look and shape as flowers settle.Beautiful plant.

HighRoller909 bulking up really good. nice resin production so far.I think this is a green pheno.cone shaped,large buds,filling up really well.I'm getting a fresh mango smell when I touch sugar leaves.it measures about 1.9 m 4 more weeks to go

HighRoller909 bulking up and coming closer to finish resin production increased a lot

HighRoller909 ripening phase started temps are above 30C I love the shape of this plant.

HighRoller909 Temps are getting higher and higher,humidity dropped dramatically,trichomes are dominantly milky,smell settled in well in last weeks,callyxes are more swollen right now.Harvest soon...

HighRoller909 First of all , I want to thank to my people following this diary, from my heart.We did a great job in a 19lt pot with pure coco.It was vegged for 5 weeks but it had landrace traits and first 6 weeks of flowering was still vegging and stretching. It quadrupled in size,really! Check back weeks 5 and 19. It was over 190 cm at final.This is a green pheno apparently,taking longer and having lesser resin production with cleaner effect.Flowering took 15 weeks,literally. After 20 total weeks, I got sweet buds off it.It could easily have gone 2 more weeks but since I had to move and didn't want it to stay under a hot hps lamp in hot and dry conditions, I chopped it down. When I harvested it, trichomes were almost all milky.So I can say this wasn't an early harvest.We were in harvest season and very close to peak THC. Buds continue to develop some more while curing, that's why my first test subjects were very much different than the ones I'm smoking at the moment. For growing part,all I can say is feed lighter on N during vegetation and feed heavier on P and K during flowering.It produces large buds.You'll probably need to support branches as they stretch a lot and fruits become larger and heavier.It appreciates supercropping and gives you bigger buds if done correctly.You'll also probably need to do it on some branches.After 6 weeks into flowering,I noticed some deficiency stuff and realized it stopped stretching and wanted to focus on flowers.It was a potassium deficiency and I reacted quick,added Cocos B to the feeding,plant reacted quick too and recovered well.In late flowering,foxtailing occured on some buds that were closer to the lamp but not that much. One thing to add : this plant loves humidity especially in vegetation.First 2 weeks was without humidifier and it was %40.It stayed small for that phase then I added a humidifier at the end of the week and it thrived after that. Hot and dry weather makes buds lighter and callyxes smaller,as you already know.But Panama is very resistant against heat,my product still feels solid in my hand.Also terpenes tend to sheer off if it is too hot (my grow room went over 32C towards the end) but Panama still tastes great. Buds are not that dense but they have a compact look.Sweet mango,tropic smell in jars. One reason I requested for a effect/taste update on growdiaries is that weed like this can't exactly be defined with those same smileys. Panama is obviously a strong one, stretches like there is no tomorrow , has a truly elegant shape , an interesting high and a desirable taste.Despite having hot conditions in grow room, CO2 helped handling it without problem,window was always open and I live in a rather crowded area. Panama is really resistant to heat. It could be even better in colder conditions.I should definitely try it again in a winter grow. I can see any cross of this strain would be so great.Classy stuff. See you again.. for a new grow maybe... :)
