Cream Caramel - TOP / LST

Cream Caramel Characteristics Genetics: BlueBlack x Maple Leaf x White Rhino Indica/Sativa: 90% - 10% Indoor yield: 400 - 550 g/m2 Indoor harvest: 8-9 weeks GERMINATING: Placed 3 seeds in cup of water over night. In the morning continued with the paper towel method. Checked on them on day 1 all but one germinated. by day 3 they all had a long tail. Planted same day. PLANTED: Using Bio Buzz light mix. By day 2 all seeds sprouted. First days they were shy but when they got some light, oh my! Look so cute at this age 😍

The caramel sisters started strong this week. 💪 Lovely green color and big fan leaves for such a small size. 👏👏 (8 days) still in 400ml cups. Fan leaves on these girls are much bigger and wider than the other strains in the tent. 👌 Definitely looks like they're going to be the queens in there. 😋 Very happy with the growth. 😍 Next week I'll be transplanting them into 11L fabric pots. 3-4 days after, when they're healthy from the transplant they'll be topped at 3th - 4th nod. Then I'll continue with a main-lining technique. I'm pretty sure these girls will be good for this method. This week I had a big problem with my lights. 😭 I had 600w HPS running and first day of the week they blew on me, luckily nothing bad happened to the girls. 😰 Glad there wasn't a fire or anything worse. Given the high risk with HPS lights I decided to go with LED from now on. I went with EasyGrow 800 V2 seems pretty good for my size tent, waiting for them to arrive. While I'm waiting for the new lights I have a 150W CFL lighting going to not disrupt the light schedule and keep the girls going. 👍 They're not growing up as fast as they would but that's normal with the 150W light they're sharing. Good thing is that I can use this week to strengthen up the roots. 💪

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 This week I got word from my lights, and they're going to take 2 more weeks... 😭 It sucks becase i'm going to have to push veg for 2 more weeks at least... I'll most likely be training them in the mean time. So when the lights arrive i'll give them a couple more weeks to get stronger and then to bloom.. This week they stretched a bit more, can't say much more.. 😕 I'll do the transplant next week. Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Finally decided to transplant this week. Still waiting on the lights, can't do much without them. Was going to start topping this week but there hasn't been much growth. I'm afraid with this 150 CFL light they won't survive the topping. 😞 Pretty much just maintaining them alive until I can actually do something. Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Still waiting on the new lights. This week went well, they adapted good to the transplant and are actually growing fast. After much thought I've decided to top next week and start mainlining one, second I'll top and LST and third I'll just LST. Can't wait any longer and they're growing nice so let's do it! 💪 Drinking more so that's good, watering every other day, nutrients every other feed. Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Finally decided to start training them, a bit late for my taste but wasn't too confident on doing it because of the 150w CFL light I've got in.. Luckly they responded nicely to the LST and Topping.. 24 hours after cutting and bending they we're already looking upwards. 🙌👆 Original I was going to LST one and mainline two, but to be honest I simple chickened out on mainline this time, was too advanced and would of had to wait another 5-6 of veg to before flipping to flower.. Next time around mainline for sure! 💪 Over all they're looking great and healthy, One of them got a little burn from Calmag deficiency but got it fixed quick.. 👍 Got the email that my lights have been sent and will arrive this week.. 😄😄 Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 These ladies are on a mission! 🚀 I train them and they bounce back quick. Very vigorous growth, lovely color and are now starting to even out the canopy.. they get bushy really fast, every 3 days or so I'm opening them out more. The top growth is growing way faster so I'm doing more work on those while the bottom ones reach them.. Very fun strain to watch grow! Lights finally arrived, will be setting them up for next week's diary. If you like what you see check out the other diaries. Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Great news this week! Finally got my new lights in the tent and the ladies are in love with them! They're growing vigorously! In the first week the lights are showing signs of working as advertised. Nice job! 👏 👏 @EasyGrow Two of these ladies have grown so fast I had a bit of trouble training them and they're a bit taller than all the other ladies which are averaging 25cm.. CC1: 40cm, CC2: 37cm, CC3: 28cm They're getting to be pretty bushy so next week I'll do a bit of defoliation. Very happy with this week, the lights, plant growth, also got my temp on lock, humidity as well.. everything is going smoothly, all the good signs for a great harvest. Hope you al have a great week! Happy Growing! 😃

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 These ladies are really enjoying the lights and environment because they are growing FAST! This strain truly amazes me, grows vigorously upwards and outwards. Very bushy! I had to do some major Low Stress Training on two of them to get the tallest colas back down.. which ended up making a row of futre colas on top.. looks promising but also will be a lot of work to support that side of the plant. Excited to start flower but I have to wait at least one more week because of the other strains.. Stay posted to see how they develop. Take care, have a good one! 👍😃

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Great week for the three caramel sisters. They haven't grown that much more but the canopy has spread out and under growth has reached the top. I upped the amount of water because they were begging for more. Next week will be their last week in veg. Before switching to 12/12 I'll do a hard defoliation on all three. Have a great one Cannafam! Happy growing! 😃

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Last week of veg for these ladies. They filled in nicely this week, I'm happy with the growth. I'll be defoliating next week then switching to 12/12 Had some issues controlling humidity at the end of the week but got things under control. Starting to get a nice smell from these three.

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more room for light. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there was a major change. New growth everywhere, colas started stretching upwards fast. By far the tallest girls in the tent. Her colas are stacking up nice and tight if she keeps that up we'll have some nice dense colas. 😁 Great reaction to the defoliation and 12/12 switch. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Hope you had a great week because these ladies sure have! 😍 They're starting to get that sweet aroma this strain gives off, her aroma will be over powering my tent in full flower. Love it! Pictures and info were taken on day 12 of flower. I put 71cm tall because that's the average between the three girls. CC 1: 78cm CC 2: 68cm CC 3: 68cm CC 1 is killing it with the double main colas. 💪 💪 🤩 CC2 is my favorite. She's got a perfect shape, nice evenly distributed canopy. Took LST great. For me that's the goal when I do LST. CC3 doesn't fall behind in any way, she's looking great. There's a bunch of new growth everywhere so after 21 days i'll be doing some pretty heavy selective defoliation. Feeding 1,5L each, every other day. Will be increasing as they ask for more. How do they ask for more? When feeding if the soil is drier than normal I give a 150-200ml increment of water. I do that until they stop feeding so much then i just maintain that amount. I start reducing if it takes longer to dry. That works good for me. The old finger in the dirt trick. 👍 Nothing like knowing exactly what your ladies need first hand. They've got a lovely green lush color. It's a delight growing this strain. I'll have to get me some more seeds for next run because this is a strain that will always have a spot in my garden. 😍 😍 Hope you enjoyed this week's update and stay tuned for next week. If you like what you see check out the other strains in the garden. 😁 Take care and stay safe! One love!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower. So these ladies can get quite bushy with those big indica fan leaves. So a much need defoliation was done. I'm loving the CC2 structure but not so much CC1 & CC3, training with those two got out of hand, had to make so weird ass bends! Distribution is all off with CC1 & 3.. I'll se what I can do moving the colas around to even out the light penetration. The split on both look pretty dope tho and CC3 has that little half loop. I'm thinking about trying a canna bonsai next spring with an autoflower jus because of that half loop. 😂 That sweet sweet cream caramel aroma is getting more and more noticeable. 😍 😍 Trichomes are coming in nicely as well. Pretty happy with the results as always with this strain. Height is different on all three so 77cm is an estimate between the three.. I'm sure buds with start filling in this week after the defoliation done. Only going to be watering with bloom nutrients for the next two weeks then I'll start adding an organic PK booster to the mix. Have a great day! One love!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! These pictures were taken a week after the 21 day flower defoliation, day 27 of flower to be exact. Great progress this week with the bud site, glad to see the defoliation is giving it's fruits. Buds are filling in space which is just what I want now, fill up as much space as possible that way in the fast weeks they can fatten up and be nice dense colas. CC1 & CC3 have the best trichome production and bud growth so far despite having the structure all messed up and uneven. I got some nice pics in of that half loop I was talking about last week. Every time I see it I think, ¨Man, I want to grow a canna bonsai." CC2 is doing great, bud formation is going a bit slower than the other two but it's still nice. I'm rooting for this one in highest yield because between the three because she has the most evenly divided canopy. The Aroma got MUCH stronger this week. When I open up the tent it's a sweet caramel punch to the face. Don't mind that punch at all! 😍😍 I've had to raise all my plants because the San Fernando Lemon Kush stretched more than I expected. Bad calculation on my part given it's a sativa I should have expected it would triple in height. So now I've got all my ladies on top of shoe boxes, Playstation box, old ballast boxes, pretty much any sturdy box I could fix. Before putting them in there I cleaned them down, making sure nothing unwanted would be joining the garden. Things look good so far, next week I'll be adding an organic PK boost to the feed. For that extra boom in bloom. Hope you're enjoying this progress like me. Have a great day! One love!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Another week in flower and they just keep looking better. Many think I exaggerate on the caramel smell this strain gives off but when they visit my garden they're amazed with the aroma. It's so damn sweet!! 😋 Pictures were taken on day 35 of flower. Things are running smooth, no deficiencies so far, or any signs of stress which is just AWESOME! I started adding 1ml/L of Green Sensation from Plagron this week. It's my first time trying this booster but I'm happy with the results Alga grow & ALga bloom have given me so far. (also from Plagron) Hopefully, this product won't be any different, We'll see. I've noticed a couple of leaf tips burnt from nutrients so I took it down a notch on those two ladies. That's it for this week, hope you enjoy the pics and videos. If you enjoy the content check out the other strains I've got going in the same tent. Have a great one! One love growers & tokers!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 As soon as I walk into my grow room I can smell them and when I open the tent it's a slap in the face. Though it's a lovely slap it isn't gentle, it's a 'where've you been?' slap. A 'welcome to Caramel city' slap. 😂😂 Jokes aside. This strain's aroma has me "Enamorado". Pictures taken day 42 of flower. The Green Sensation seems to be doing it's job. Buds are really starting to fatten up fast and are looking very very luscious. I should have started using it in week 4 so I'm a week late on that. *Made a little reminder for the next run.* I can't seem to get a good shot of the buds but i'm working on it. Let's see if for next week I can get a good close up. In flower I water with nutrients in every feed and every 10 days or so I water with only water and Enzymes to help break down the old roots, gives life to the microorganisms, helps out the new roots and helps to prevent root rot. It's great if your using mineral nutrients as there's times where those minerals stay stuck to the roots and can cause root burn. I use alga based nutrients so I don't have a problem with that but I like to use it, I've noticed a great difference im flower before and after using. We're getting closer and closer to harvest. 😬 "Sooo exciiited" (In Kevin Hart voice) If you like the content check out the other strains sharing the tent. 😃 I'll catch y'all next week. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

Hey! Another week in flower and closer to harvest. Smelling like a candy store. Buds are maturing, things are running smoothly. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

Hey! Another week in flower and closer to harvest. Smelling like a candy store. Buds are maturing, things are running smoothly. No more nutrients from now on, only Enzyme once and then Phed water. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

Hey! This was the last week of flower, I harvested on day 65 of flower. Everything ran smooth till the end. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

Easy strain to grow, she grew faster than I expected this run and I had to react fast doing some major bends, they took them perfectly. No snapping till harvest. Also they had support and i'm always gentle.. All in all I recommend this strain, she can get very frosty I had some upsets but you can notice she has the potential for great frost. I'll be growing this one again this year for sure, but for now I've good enough to last me a while. 😄 For growing info... I harvested on day 65 of flower. I didn't wet weight, is that even possible? How comith one upon weighing thy wet weight? (That means the wet weight up there is made up..) Hung them to dry for 12 days at 18C and 60% RH.. After drying I trimmed them, SAVE THE TRIM!* Break down on dry weight per plant.. Cream caramel #1: 57g, #2: 49g, #3: 68g After that I placed them in mason jars to cure at 62%RH, burping them twice a day for a week, then once a day.. third week whatever, fourth week burp what? After a month of curing... them sumbiches were tasting very smooth! *With the trim I made some bubble hash. Tasty stuff. More grower info for the curious minds. 120cmx120cm tent, 320W LED.. Between all the strains I had in the tent I got a total of 504 grams. That's 1,57g/W. or 63g/plant.. Hope you enjoyed the diary. Take care out there!
