Yeah so this is my set up for the covid-19 quarantine. Small micro grow closet so i will face some difference than the last environment.
This time i used seed from Ripper Seeds which i got from Diaries of the Month December the Tropicanna Cookies x Animal Cookies surely they are nice strain since i gave some of it to my friend already.
I planned to veg for 4 week then switch immediately to bloom since i want to keep it compact.
My problem of the first week is the RH is kinda low around 40-60 at most whilst the temp is around 30 Celsius.
Is there any method for a faster veg in this type of environment ?
I'm excited to see it grow everyday.
So my girl doing so nice in this week despite the low RH which is between 40-45 that's not good for veg, she did have a good grow in some last day of this week
I started to see the 4th node of her, for the 2nd week i've only use mykos (myco) for the plant. I plan to have some light nutes next week for her around 250 ppm at this moment.
hope she veg big at the end of the month :) my planned is to LST her very low for the Micro Setting Grow.
So the plant is transplant at this week i adding little bit of azos and mykos the the transplant
I top her at d15 and also LST it after the transplant and seem like it bounce back nicely after 24h of transplant stress.
this plant have some issue with few first set of leave.
So i gave her some super light dose nutes at day 16 and 20 for the grow and recovery.
The strain is kinda low stretch since i use the 6500k lighting at this moment since i don't have choice waiting for 2 x 70w 3500k Quantum Strip to arrive.
I excited now & waiting for the grow of next week hopefully she's doing fine.
Yeah this plant curled the first 3 set of leaf but others plants in the same condition don't do that. I wondered if it somekind of genetic issue or it's just normal ?
We see that from time to time and coined it "The Cabbage Leaf" Pheno.
So far all have been good plants but don't seem to stretch like others but who knows 😉
genetic no worry
This week i still give the ppm same as last week feeding 1 with nutes and 1 with plain water since it absorption is not so good atm, i will water less
She move slowly into veg at D27 i change to the 2700k led bulb since my QB not finish yet, i believe it to make the stretch more if i switch from 6500k and it does look difference longer nodes appear.
I plant to give her around 700ppm next week for better result since she's bigger now and try to flip at beginning of week 6 since in think she will look ready to flip in next week if the grow ok.
This is week five i planned to switch to bloom here but still waiting my quantum board to arrived, it's delay cause corona virus problem.
So i've defoliated in D33 and she seem recovered well after 2 days.
My concern is how to keep small grow from 2 side to grow equally to each other as you can see the right side is more develop than the left side, i think this is the light problem.
The temp is kinda super hot here sometime around 34.5 Celcius in the afternoon, hope it get cooler when i'm bloom.
✊ will update more in next week.
I flip this plant at D37 and 5 day pass don't notice any stretch still sitting under total of 90w led bulb waiting for the delivery light (just come right now) so i will use it tmr when she awake.
i've flush her with plain water for the come off ppm and ph and notice it's quite high around 1400 ppm, i think i should gave another light flush next water.
waiting for the stretch & the pistils.
Nutrient solution at 550 ppm - 6.2 PH, I water the plant and get 15% run off which read 1500 ppm - 5.9 PH.
My plant still look healthy no sign of deficiency or toxic problem.
It's the TDS in soil still remand or salt build up this case.
Should i flush her next turn.
As Harbinger already said: this dark green does not look healthy.. that's a very high dosage of nitrogen, and if you say the run-off is 1500 ppm (i believe you take the Hanna scale), it means an EC of 3.0 which is way too high for most plants.. especially at this size. I suggest reading this: https://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Fertilizing-Smart-Guide
30.9 degrees is also too hot, so try to get the temperature down, and preferably the humidity up (60 to 70%)
I have doing water to runoff 2 time continually and the plant come out great leave look normal green again not dark green as last week.
This is 12 into 12/12 at Day 49 she have some stretch going on but no sign of flower i think i might need to wait another week for the magical to happen.
Nutrient: i will continue to water/feed schedule with 15% run off with light feed veg nutrient since she still need to stretch more.
Hopefully i will achieve the stretch to spread her at 3/4 coverage to the pot, since i veg this plant to slow so i don't expect her to fill the pot.
So if you like my set up or have anything to comment for helping me in this grow please leave a comment i would appreciate that <3 😁
Happy Growing all to Growmie 😻
I do the major flush at D52 and got the result quite bad after few runoff it's read around 1500ppm & 5.8 PH, so I decided to make a big flush and get it to around 550ppm & 6.4 PH.
The result was good it started growing since the PH and PPM is on point ( kinda low but ok, will give her nutrient when the pot is dry enough)
I think this problem come from the batch of soil that was suffer from anaerobic bacteria and i just dry out to get the smell off then use it for all my plants.
Now everything is back on track from the slow grow few week before now it's strike more.
Hoping see her bloom soon since she's come back from a lot of stress.
Happy growing everyone <3
💪💪💪
This week is the flower week of her. I'm super excited & been waiting for this moment since week 6 but it turn out a little delay.
Only D5 of pistils show and she stretch better than 12/12 flip period the flower do come out faster than my last grow.
gotta said i love this strain even though it had a small leaves pheno (which is cute).
currently sit under 140w Quantum Bar which is dimmed to around 110w ATM with other 2 plant, the lux is 39000-55000 atm.
Hope she doing well in the rest of the journey
Peace & Happy Growing Everyone. 😍
the 2nd week since pistil show, the shape of this plant looking kinda weird from beginning and in the budding period it's looking weird too.
The run-off ppm of feeding this week is 850 which is right on point since i go low and low on nutes this run cause i got little left.
I notice the overall look nice but some bud sign get pistil tip brown, just some.
Started to add big bud in this week feeding from now to end of week 5.
Happy Growing Everybody <3.
Week 3 and all the bud appear smaller than my other Indica dominant plant, this plant actually 60-40 sativa indica (65-70D flower).
I did defoliate in the beginning of the week every thing is good for this week even though it had some deficiency during mid week which make lower leaves yellow because of N deficiency.
I gave her a full strength nutes around 1000ppm and fix this problem. Now her run off is at 1070 and 6.4 PH which is very good in this phase.
Only have one concern is that tip of some bud are started to get brown in this week, not all but some.
Another week into bloom still gave her the ppm around the range of 1000-1100 with 6.3 ph and she show some sign of deficiency so i think i will pump it up to around 1200-1300 range next week.
I'm kinda impatient with this plant since the flower hit slow than what i expect.
still 40 day left i think her bud will growing drastically in 2 more week for this 9 weeks strain.
I still happy cause she look healthy anyway.
Happy Growing All Grower <3
She stack up pretty good this week, the bud form the long shape look like rocket pack with trichome.
I feed her 1100 ppm this week and the run-offf is around 1200 which is fine, will use higher dose next week as she reach her next weeks.
32D pass and still the same amount of day to go since she's a 9 Weeks+ strain.
Hope for faster bud development in next week.
Happy Growing Everyone <3
D40 of Flower thing started to stacking up but slowly, i feel like the 1st wave of bud stack but it's not enough for my expectation.
As you can see D35 and D40 in the same bud branch look similar with little difference.
Still got that rocket structure thin in the top and fat at the bottom.
Trichome production quite well since all the sugar leaves get it even thought the temp is not ideal (28-30 this week)
Hopefully she will in the good form next week.
Happy Growing Everyone
This one smell strong woody and pines smell.
Yellow pistils appear in this week the bud is kinda fatten up nicely, hopefully she will get her bud rippen in the next 2 weeks then i will harvest.
I will probably give her the flush next week since it's around 2 week left in my calculation.
Day 47 of Flower and the bud looking good with lot of trichome on sugar leaves.
For this strain i will harvest it in 100% cloudy trichome for the best potency.
Week 8 of flower the bud look like in the ripening phase.
Around 70-75% the pistil are brown but the trichome show only 85% cloudy and no sign of amber yet.
I will gave her another week or 2 to finishing up nicely as i expect around 5-10% amber.
Gave her flush in the beginning of the week and now she look yellow on lower leaves.
She still frosty even though the room temp is high on this week.
Happy Growing Everyone <3.
D61 of Flower and i change the photo from light on to light off to show more delicious trichomes.
At this point she look pretty ready might chop after few day since the last week check for trichomes is almost cloudy at D54 of Flower so this week i do not have to check again.
This last week temp tend to higher than other weeks which is 30-31 Celsius.
The 2 week flush have done amazing on her yellow leave at 50% rate and other 50% on higher bud turn yellow which create a beauty looking plant.
Can't wait to chop it down and enjoy.
Happy Growing All
After 8.5 days of slow drying 25-26 Celcius/ 60-65 RH it's done and create many lovely bud from such a small plant 25 cm height + 30 cm width
- About the Veg phase:
I grow Veg plant not in a perfect condition so this does come out not as good as i expect not because of the strain
Temp: 31-33 Celsius
RH: 40-50
Light: 18-6
Nutes: Advanced Nutrient (250 ppm - 850 ppm)
Training: LST + Topping At 4th nodes
This plant Veg not so good since it have problem with low RH in the Veg phase cause her leave to quilted like a cabbage leaf, it's might cause by the pheno of this particular seeds. However it did survive.
- Transition to Flower Stage:
Total the ttransition phase took 21 days, the plant show incredible stretch more than normal hybrid she stretch like more than x3 her size and continuous after the transition for about 3 more week into flower
Many bud sign create from this period + with effective LST this is the biggest girl from this season compare with other 2.
- About the Bloom phase:
Temp: 28-31 Celsius
RH: 35-50
Light: 12-12
Nutes: Advanced Nutrient (900-1100 ppm)
This stage the weather was better so the plant grow bud nicely i defoliated all the popcorn nug below so she can reach her full potential of making bigger buds
The flower time of this particular seeds from this strain is kinda long took her more than 63 days to produce trichomes that's fully cloudy ( which i like)
The Bud look amazing Rocket style bud with long bud and the top of it create a thin shape which i didn't grow anything alike before.
- Yield: I've got the total yield of 45 gram fully dry ( 6 gram small pop corn + 11 gram Small Buds and around 28 gram Big Buds)
* Overall Grow: This strain is excellent and easy to grow which produced high quality buds & good yield
- Effect & Flavor:
Flavor & Smell: She smell sweet & fruity with ligh orange smell that's what i can describe in few day putting in jar, the smoke is quite enjoy not harsh at all after few day cure and super smooth feeling make you falling in love
Effect: The effect i would describe at 65% Sativa and 35% Indica
Cerebral and Happy is the 3 term to describe this strain. It first hit with a strong good feeling which might cause you caution it migh hit hard in minutes. and the Euphoria hit first combine with Happy feeling which make it a social strain which i love because it make me active. The more you hit the more effect hit you and you might become very Cerebral. To sum up this is some dank flower.
Since i am an Sativa lover, this does gave me a good feeling which is awake and heady high.
* Overall Effect: 8.5/10 i would said for me as a Sativa lover i totally love this hybrid <3

Hello friend. How are you? I haven't written to you in a long time. Do you still smoke the buds from the last harvest?😜
I'm running out of staff. 😩
I've started a new cycle, check it out!👊
Beautiful looking girls ! Love the dark leafs! I’m growing Tropicana cookies that were sent to me as replacement seeds and it’s looking awesome. Hope they turn out as good as yours.
Hi there, your girls look amazing. The texture of the leaves and branches are really something else. Cant'wait to see how things will develop. Best of luck to you friend 😀
@WeedWhisperer, lol thanks for the support, when i open it up it was a surprised 😂
and I love your sun grow wish i could have opportunity to doing that outdoor <3
