The Tropicana Cookie is an awesome strain with a great sweet and woody aroma. I had some issues in the beginning with the development and the grow of the plant but she bounced back. She got cut today and put to dry.

Final Weekly Notes: This girl has come to an end and is now inside my dry tent for 48 hours before the chop and trim. This week was very much difficult only because I really wanted to finish this weeks ago. Always learning something new everyday. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grows. As always feel free to leave a like comment question or even give that old follow button a tickle. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!!

Der Wetterbericht sagte niedrige Temperaturen um nur noch 5° C. Tagestemperatur voraus mit täglichem Dauernebel, deshalb entschied ich mich für die Ernte. Die Lady in der Growbox hatte sich noch im Folienzelt Schimmel in einer Blattachsel eingefangen, der gesamte Zweig war am vertrocknen, deshalb wurde sie auch geerntet. Outdoor Growing ist und bleibt ein "run with mother nature across seasons", wir können nicht alle Faktoren bestimmen. Das ist ein Nachteil aber auch eine Herausforderung, die ich jedes Jahr gerne annehme, seien es Tomaten, Paprika, Artischocken oder Borlotti-Bohnen im Freiland. Die erzielten Ergebnisse kann ich nun bis zur nächsten Saison geniessen. Nach der Saison ist allerdings vor der Saison, viel Saatgut ist angefallen ud neue Sorten müssen ausgewählt werden. Danke, dass ihr dieses Diary begleitet habt! --- The weather forecast predicted low temperatures of only 5° C. daytime temperature with daily continuous fog, so I decided to harvest. The lady in the grow box had caught mould in a leaf axil while still in the foil tent, the entire branch was drying out, so she was also harvested. Outdoor growing is and remains a ‘run with mother nature across seasons’, we cannot determine all the factors. This is a disadvantage but also a challenge that I gladly accept every year, be it tomatoes, peppers, artichokes or borlotti beans in the open field. I can now enjoy the results until the next season. However, after the season is before the season, a lot of seeds have accumulated and new varieties have to be selected.

Stopped feeding last week.. this strain was loving the Humbolt flower stacker ..she’s got a few days left of flushing ... looking forward to harvest time.. it’s been fun and therapeutic since my bean popped on 4/21

Loving the way this strain is bushy but yet so compact. I plan on vegging her for atleast another month or so before I throw her into flower. I definitely recommend this strain especially if your looking for explosive vegetative growth.

Week 8 done and stretch all done. Pretty happy with the space I’ve filled out now, just need to get through the next few weeks and should be a success. All look quite different, 3 and 4 super frosty. 1 and 2 not really. Just not overwatering or over feeding and trying to be patient. Really hoping they get fat and colourful but will take what I get. Now smoking the Strawberry pie which has cured nicely from the last run. So nice, feeling very grateful to my earlier self for growing it. Thanks for reading have a great week 😊

She looks a bit deranged at first sight no doubt maybe u feel a little uncomfortable but let me tell you this girl is a moose on the loose. she looks like a statue of medusa the lady with snakes for hair and her long lost children But a few inches below those twizzler heads is some solid nugget. Smell like wet mangos as it should and is sticky as a fly trap. The buds are ridiculous in size the main one is as wide as my head. The lowers and side branches are actually somewhat normal compared to the others. There's no way of knowing the quality and production until harvest but if I can trim her up nicely into small nugs I think we'll be aight. Started lowering ppms this week but it's hard to tell when she is gunna ripen up with the foxtails. Right now the trichs are mostly cloudy with some clear and no amber I just can't imagine they can get bigger than what they are now. Will need to run this one back at some point and try to avoid the tails.

Well this little tester has out grown her sisters by quite alot in its development , she is much larger and bigger leaves than the others and looks like she is really reaching for the stars and has had nothing more than fresh water until this week

Starting week 3 like this ! Bud sites are legions and it seems like stems gonna be full of buds ! Can’t wait to put this lady alone into the 4x4 tent !!! D Day homies! This baby is finally into her new home ! Now I can play with her legz!!!

6th node. Light is currently at 40 %.

Hello all! I hope y'all doing well. Happy new year! Im trying to make good videos and pictures but the site can't handle too much quality...so it is what it is. Anyway Today we are closing the second week of flowering. This week went on quite easy, the plant is growing as expected. Couple of days ago I applied some extra defoliation to the little Titan, just 2 leaves, nothing too special. The plant is responding well to the various treatments and techniques, even from a newbie like me. Also do you remember about the broken branch? The plant fully recovered that within 2 weeks. I am super happy and satisfied, is even having two bud sites on it. Not bad huh ? Two days ago the plant got 1.5 L of water with nutrients, the final pH of the water was 6.2. Im happy that finally I overcome the soil pH issue, was way too low. The pot didn't drain any water after the watering. Next time I will step up a little bit, maybe 2 liters, maybe not. We will see. The flowering is finally going "full speed", I can see the flowers growing day by day. Also the smell got much more intense right now, maybe since a week. I can definitely feel it, it has a very distinguished smell, a little bit of mango or papaya in the back notes when you smell it. Also the plant is becoming more frosty and a lot of little crystals are forming here and there. Gotta love it man! I will catch you guys next week for another update! See yaa

ESPAÑOL: Hola chicos, espero se encuentren muy bien! Esta semana las chicas han mejorado un poco, se detuvo el amarillamiento, descubri que Cal-Max de Grotek interfiere en la composicion de la linea hesi por lo que las chicas sufren un bloqueo de nutrientes, dejé de utilizarlo y las chicas han continuado con su desarrollo relativamente normal. ya estan en su 5ta semana de floracion, Tutankhamon ha producido una cantidad gigantesca de resina, Lennon esta engordando a toda velocidad y aun le quedan 6 semanas aprox. Anubis a pesar de su color intenso amarillo palido esta engordando bastante bien y su produccion de resina es inimaginable y ya solo que quedan 2 semanas y media aprox. espero que a partir de ahora ya no surjan mas problemas y que las chicas terminen su floracion de la mejor manera. esto es todo por esta semana chicos, espero que se encuentren muy bien ! INGLES: Hello guys, I hope you are very well! This week the girls have improved a little, the yellowing stopped, I discovered that Cal-Max from Grotek interferes with the composition of the hesi line so the girls suffer a nutrient lock, I stopped using it and the girls have continued with their relatively normal development. They are already in their 5th week of flowering, Tutankhamun has produced a gigantic amount of resin, Lennon is gaining weight at full speed and he still has about 6 weeks left. Anubis, despite its intense pale yellow color, is gaining weight quite well and its resin production is unimaginable and there are only about 2 and a half weeks left. I hope that from now on no more problems arise and that the girls finish their flowering in the best way. This is it for this week guys, I hope you are doing well!

Plants are reacting really well to the veg nuts, a couple plants are showing small signs off root heat, I’ve been splashing the leaves with water and the outside of the pots too cool it down

- DAY 50 (23/07) I will show you the rust-colored burns that occurred from the first feeding with Micro-Grow-Bloom. Everything that I will do relevant in the days of this week I will update it here in Week Comment. I am open to advice, I would be happy if you comment with what you would do in my place. - DAY 52 (25/07) FEEDING I thought of irrigating with some Root Juice to give a little help to the roots, because has grown slowly, I don’t know why. I irrigated 2 liter of water with: - 4ml Root Juice Solution PH: range 6.6/6.9 - DAY 54 (27/07) HELP It's been 13 days since I last fed with the PH Perfect trio of Advanced Nutrients. I need your help to figure out how to get back to feeding. From today I will water with more water to make sure that the roots and the soil are better cleaned by letting the water flow out of the pot. (until now no water flowed into the saucer). I uploaded the photos and video with the rust-colored burns on the older leaves that showed up after first feeding with Micro, Grow and Bloom, and they were accentuated after feeding for the second time. Watering with water alone (and citric acid to correct the PH) does not seem to present any problems. I immediately thought it was an excess of potassium, considering that I have fed 2 times with Micro (2-0-0), Grow (1-0-4) and Bloom (1-3-4) 0.5ml each, this NPK ratio should be around 2-1.5-4. I thought about adjusting the doses in order to increase nitrogen to keep it higher than potassium, and lower potassium while still keeping it higher than phosphorus. Could it be a resolution to my problem? I also thought that it could be an excess of calcium present in Micro (it has 2.4% of calcium and 0.1% of magnesium soluble in water) because according to the analysis of my tap water it seems to already have enough calcium (110 mg/l of calcium. 21mg/l of magnesium) and here arises my fear of increasing the dose of Micro to increase nitrogen and continually encounter excess calcium. Can anyone enlighten me? - DAY 55 (28/07) SLIGHT DEFOLIATION I made a slight defoliation at the bottom. To be precise I removed 2 medium-small leaves and I removed the two smaller popcorn sprigs at the bottom of everything. I sprayed the usual mix of neem oil. (neem oil, water, potassium soap and lemon juice) - DAY 56 (29/07) LST We are at the end of the week. I performed 4-way style LST. Day/night air temperature on average for this week: Day 31-33 °C. Night 22-26 °C.

Looks alright

Tout se passe bien,encore tres gourmande en eau les fleurs s'épanouissent doucement. 🧑‍🌾 J'ai ajusté les nutriments de chez Bio Nova, et je guette le moment où je vais commencer à fortement engraisser les buds en P et K. ⚗️ Je vais defollier 🍃légèrement pour d'ici peu, pour favoriser la lumière sur les têtes.

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Grüßt euch Freunde! Heute ist der vorletzte Tag der Woche 6. Die Blüten entwickeln sich prächtig und Resin ist ordentlich vorhanden. Man kann schön sehen wie die Blätter langsam ‚faden‘ . Ziel ist: am Ende alle übrigen Nährstoffe verbraucht zu haben, sodass wir einen angenehmen smoke bekommen. Werde daher die nährstoffzufuhr einstellen und sie das verbrauchen lassen, was noch in Boden und Blättern gespeichert ist. Bin der Meinung, dass davon einfach noch genug gespeichert ist. Wer da andere Erfahrungen gemacht hat, kann das gerne mal kommentieren! Bis dahin euch allen eine gute Woche !💚

Almost one week of flushing and they’re showing signs. It smells full on like apples in the box and the buds themselves have an amazing smell. I think that they’ll be done in a week so keep posted.
