----- WEEK 9 -----
----- Day 57 -----
Easy day of watching.
Just 1 pic today so far. not much reason to go downstairs to take a pic yet. Glookies is turning Purple on sugar and fan leaves now.
Harvest is very soon. I'd wager within 7 days now just going to depend on the High I get off tester nugs.
***Update***
I destroyed the trellis and took em out for some pics and vids.
Trichs = Tropicana is ready Tuesday, Wedding Cake probably Friday or within that weekend.
----- Day 58 -----
Last couple days.
Fed about 30ml of Cal/Mag and 30ml of Molasses.
Wanted to just keep the photosynthesis process and the plant in general alive for reveg. Was getting a bit too yellow for my liking.
Harvest soon.
----- Day 59 -----
Harvested Tropicanna Glookies today
Deleted this week by accident trying to make it a harvest week, so remade it.
Will add harvest week once plants are dry and tester has been smoked to give proper info
Put some more photos in. Basically the tent is 4 feet wide and the ruler is 12 inches long from bottom of duct tape
Really loving the colors of this plant.
------ Day 60 -----
Fed only the Wedding Cake - 5-10ml of Calimagic and 20ml of molasses (NO Liter level marked or PPM or PH, i could cut today its done but im just maturing the trichs)
Tropicanna Glookies is a friggin BEAUTIFUL strain.
Moved the Wedding Cake in the tent so largest nugs are furthest away from light and dropped light from 1000w to 600w to save electricity
Chop on Wedding Cake happens at mostly amber trichs. Prob 5-6 days max for that i'll know when I check trichs tonight and update with photo.
----- Day 61 -----
Wedding Cake is about 5% amber... so prob 6 days or so. Slow day today.
----- Day 62 -----
Feeding is today, going to just use some CaliMagic and Molasses again.
Trichs aren't golden yet, so not chop time ... 8-9 weeks is what it is supposed to take, but it's got at least another 5-8+ days until 30-40% amber trichs for Indica couch-lock effect to shine in the Wedding Cake.
Tropicanna could still be going right now, but I did not want more than 5-10% amber gold trichs to prevent a couch-lock effect. This has worked very well. On day 64 I will post a smoke report and full harvest/trim details as Saturday/Sunday is trimming. Will have dry weight results of Tropicanna (per plant, and as a whole).
Tropicanna being sent to lab for full analysis will post results when they arrive (Usually 2-3 weeks after sending sample via mail)
------ Day 63 ------
Nothing to talk about today, slow day. almost done.
*Update*
1 pic, i think it explains everything.
Really curious how the wedding cake turns out. Just put some beans in the cup yesterday, heard great things about their wedding cake and since I could not get Jungle Boys ANYWHERE, I decided too try Canuks. Looks great btw
@TopShelfTrees,
One things for sure, they are friggin JAM packed with bud. Massive weight for even the tiniest nug. The tropicanna I could squish to near nothing and it'd pop back out to normal. Wedding cake is like trying to press in a brick.
Going to be monster yields.
Canuk seeds generally LOVE cal/mag btw. I notice Cal/mag issues on Canuk genes more than any other bean companies ive tried so don't skip out on the cal/mag.
Well, I felt like I should give this a proper ending.
I used Canvas Labs to get a Health Canada level screening of all parameters available (was like $700 bucks) and it came back showing lead and mercury.
I freaked the hell out, contacted them, and they ran samples to an even higher level lab, it was quite an intense experience.
I had massive, massive anxiety... am i smoking lead and mercury tainted pot? How did it get into my grow?
So BAM I chuck all my ferts and re-buy a newer better brand
So BAM I chuck the felt vivosun 7 gallon pots. (Why? Cause who's frigging kidding here, do you trust anything made in a manufacturing plant made in China, sold to a supplier, slapped with a label from some rich dude who pays for it and calls it vivosun on amazon's platform where they routinely send crap so bad it breaks upon use or doesn't work at all so they delete the product and you can't get your money back cause its just gone from product detail info for returns. (That was my colloidal silver, the previous example was a box fan))
So BAM i kill my 4 darling 5 foot tall, 6inch diameter trunk 11 month old plants.
And of COURSE Canvas labs comes back saying there was a lab error, there was no lead and mercury.
So that was a nightmare, and I killed the above plants.
This whole scenario sent me back massively financially and while waiting for my upgraded production medical license also, has caused a lot of time between my last postings of grows.
Shiiiiiit that was long. Posted for anyone who was curious, I use this as a diary mainly as well for long term retrieval of issues how I fixed them and results etc etc. for any necessary future need.
I was originally hesitant about posting why I killed them so blamed it on hydro. I asked a lawyer friend If it's safe to talk about it happening, they said yea, so that's why I'm mentioning it now. I would have kept these ladies alive for multiple flowering rounds.
Ramble over
