This week we lost one of the Slurricane due to rotten root that were caused by the electricity blackout. Other plant were doing fine. Hope everything will be good until harvest.

it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

This is how things are looking at the end of Week 3 of Flower. Really happy with the way the ladies are looking, only complaint is the growth. Don't think I have done a good job at transplanting this time around.

The colors are showing on this lady! They are beautiful! I couldn't believe how much she came into her own. I started to flush her and she's been hungry anyway. I taper off the nutes like nature intended. So last week was probably less than I added on the site. I will go back and fix it.

Hello everyone im still a bit noob on everything even on posting here and staff. ill figure it out in a couple of days hopefully! Lets start by saying that big bang had an issue because ........ i was growing it and i didnt see that my flores was empty and until i received a new it was almost a week had a lot of yellow on the leaves dying and falling out like doing full defoliation on the plant. have no clue if im lucky or something i do right but when i started feeding couple of days i saw signs of buds getting bigger so i continue. now we are at week 13 and from what i have seen from my previous 2 plants bb and king Tut autoflowers will not forgive when u stun them nut they will forgive slow growth or deficiencies and stuff when they are close to maturity at least for my garden. Whatever i did to them and i monitored closely everyday made them move on a slower pace but didnt stop them from being huge the only downtime i saw was more time to be ready for harvest. ill update by the end of the week with pics with the lights out (hps) . The pics are a bit shaky but cant do anything about it atm sorry! Any advice welcome the first red spots in some of the sugar leaves should i start flush? or wait to see on almost every bud?

Grow Diary – Week 6, Day 1 of Flowering Boom, today marks Week 6, Day 1 of flower and things are moving along nicely. Buds are stacking and the aromas are straight-up explosive — seriously, it’s getting loud in the tent. PPMs are holding steady around 1000 and I'm dialing in pH to 5.8 every time, no exceptions. The only gripe I’ve got is how dense and crowded the plant has become. I got a bit greedy during training, went for too many shoots packed too close together. Now there’s a ton of foliage and the lower bud sites just aren’t getting the light they need. I’m in there every single day at lights-on, doing leaf tucking and rearranging to get better light penetration to those lower sites and hopefully avoid a bunch of larf. Lesson learned for next round: focus on strong main shoots only, less is more. But with the way things are going, I’m still optimistic I’ll pull at least 7 oz of solid, dank bud. Whatever ends up on the fluffier side will go to canna butter, nothing wasted! Airflow’s solid. Got three fans in action one low, one mid, and one up top keeping everything circulating. Humidity’s on the drier side, which is intentional to help prevent mold, powdery mildew, or pests, especially with how tight the canopy is. Gotta stay ahead of the game. Plant might be a little wild right now but overall we’re on track. Fingers crossed for a strong yield. Let’s go.

Tropicana flowers 🌞☀️🌤️🌦️🌧️ Plant is 15 cm high because of low stress training. The length is 31 cm. Day 36: Sun is shining, 15-23 degrees, high humidity. Tropicana gets two liters of pure rainwater. Spend the day in my veggie garden working. In the evening I brought some 🐞for Tropicana because I spottet a few lice. My mood changes drastically as I find spider mites eggs, first and second stadium. Don‘t overthink that and decide to defoliate the plant immediately. I prepare a tee out of the leaves which brings fast relaxation. My mood is much better now. Day 37 In the morning with better light I find more spider mites and decide to wash the plant with rainwater. Can‘t find after any more of these little killer dwarfs. I decide to bring more beetles and check the leafs more often. Temperature is felling under 20 degrees, it‘s raining and the humidity is 87%. Day 38 In the early morning I couldn‘t find any mites on Tropicana. Got to continue controlling this in the next weeks regular. I‘m sure they are still there somewhere hidden in a dark spot. 🌦️ 13 - 21 degrees and humidity is around 60-70%. Day 39 🌦️🌧️ Very rainy day. Just let Tropicana enjoy life and tie down the top one more time. 🐞 stay since some days. One on every plant. I think the mites are a result of their start inside and no hygiene at all. Have the same with my peppers some years. 14 - 21 degrees, humidity around 84% Day 40 🌧️☁️🌤️☀️15 degrees, humidity 83% We listen to Roots Reggae, Tropicana is happy and quite busy with producing new roots, I guess. Don‘t understand when to stop low stress training. I think it’s enough now. She needs a rest. Day 41 🌧️⛈️🌧️🌧️ 15 - 19 degrees, humidity up to 89% We had rainfall today around 65 liters of water. I collected enough of it for the next weeks. Day 42 ☀️ 6 - 23 degrees. Humidity is falling. Tropicana enjoys the morning sun while she drinks and drinks and drinks…. Coffee. 😅

Week 6 of flower about another 2 to 3 weeks to go . Buds are forming Nicely but I’ve been a little heavy on the nutrients so I’m trying to remedy that .

So first of All i have to say this strain is recommendable. It is Not a heavy gitter that is for Sure, but it delivers a pleasent high with a relaxing Note. Flowering takes a little longer then it said but that is alright. i harvested at about 5% amber coulored trichomes. I will give this strain a try i would recommend taking clones during flower, due to the exploding growth paterns afterwards. Cheers to everyone who had a look Frugo

April 19, 2024 Day 64 We are coming up on the 10 week mark soon enough. I'm expecting both of these ladies to start swelling buds any day. So another 2 weeks before harvest. Probably 3 to 4 more weeks. Tropicana Cookies is actually 31" tall while Tropicana C is 28" tall. However, due to the highest points being so tall, I have those tops as far on the outside of the light footprint as I can. I managed to get the DLI down to 50 mol/m²/d for each plant. While the rest of the canopy is happily at 45 mol/m²/d. No watering today. Maybe tomorrow. The water intake has increased a bit over the past couple of days, so I may be topping off tomorrow or early morning the day after. I'm also getting some nutrient burn from what I believe is the Overdrive. I have it at full dose and honestly think it's too much. So I'm cutting it in half as well as Bud Candy. That's also at full dose and I don't think it's needed. So cutting that in half as well. The light will be staying the same for the next 2 weeks now that the plants have hit their final height. I'm guessing that's how much longer it will be before flushing. I'll drop the light power at the same time as flush. The flush should be about a week. The environment is giving me a hard time today. The temp is high at 78° with the humidity high as well at 56%. Not really sure what's causing it, but I'll turn my damn AC on if I have to. Anyway, I'm still having trouble keeping it at 50% humidity, so getting to 45% seems unrealistic. So I'll work with 50% and just make sure to check for any signs of mold or anything. I don't think I'll get anything like that, but you never know. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 53.3% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 20, 2024 Happy 420!!! Not much going on today with these 2. They will both need watering tomorrow. So they are finally at a half gallon a day. The 2 other plants in the tent are also at a half gallon a day, but they are on the opposite schedule. It works for me. Gives me something to do everyday, but not sitting there for a half hour mixing nutrients. (I use 1 gallon jugs for each plant) Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are starting to swell and stack. They are just about ready to start swelling up. I can tell they will be super tight as well. There are a couple places where the pistils are orange and shriveled up. The bud is super dense. However, that could be seeds. I'm not too sure at this point. It's a high possibility. Tropicana C also has a couple tops with the same type of super dense buds. Again, these two are identical in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same top doing the same thing. Anyway, looking super good. Buds from top to bottom. They aren't big and fat yet, but there still a good 2 to 3 weeks left. Hopefully less though. I have 4 more plants I have to start today for a contest. Unfortunately those plants will be stuck ina. 2x2 until these ones are out of the tent. The lighting hasn't changed whatsoever and won't for the next 2 weeks. The environment is looking great now. It's steadily climbing up from 68° last night and is at about 75° now and will definitely be at 76° in about an hour. The humidity is great at 51%. As I said yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to drop it down any further. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 52.3% VPD: 1.30 kPa April 21, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got watered today. Not much else going on though. Tropicana Cookies was nearly dry, but not quite. Unfortunately, Tropicana C was bone dry. I don't like it getting dry. The wick system gets messed up. But it did give me a chance to quickly wipe down the basin. Both plants have nutrient burn from what I assume was the dose of Overdrive. So today I left it out. Just to allow the nutrients to even out. Next watering I'll be doing 4 ml of it. I also dropped the Bud Candy down to 4 ml. Just Incase it was partly that as well. The lighting was, of course, not changed at all. The power will be dropped in the next week or so. This strain should have a 6 week flowering stage. 45 days is the estimate. So there's about 3 weeks left. Much longer than I was expecting. Honestly it's from the 5 week veg period. I find it strange that I didn't get any massive plants in 5 weeks. At the end of the grow, we will be hitting just under 12 weeks. No clue why I can't get my plants to grow at the suggested time frame. The earliest I have ever harvested was 11 weeks. Or maybe 12. Strange. I'll have to figure that out. The environment is looking good today. The temp is leveled out at 75° and the humidity is happily at 49%. The VPD is a little low at 1.39 kPa, but it will fix soon enough. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 49.7% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 22, 2024 Definitely nothing going on today. Tropicana C had a couple leaves popped off today. Just a couple that were covering some bud sites and encroaching on other tops. Tropicana Cookies looks great! I will say her buds aren't fat like I was expecting. They seem more like sativa buds. It's strange. They are thin and small and look super airy. I'm not sure if this is the deal, but both plants look like this. Only time will tell. Tropicana C also looks quite good, with the same bud swelling issues, but we shall see as I said. She got 2 leaves removed. They were being crushed by the wall and in turn were overcrowding other bud sites. The lighting is staying the same of course. I believe an a week or 2, I'll have to drop the intensity. The environment is once again looking great! 75° and 50% humidity. The overnight temp is still at 68°. I'd much rather it be at 66°. Maybe I'll cool my room off earlier in the evening to allow the tent to cool faster at night, so the temp drops to the average of 66°. I'll start that next week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 49.2% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 23, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily inspection. What I've discovered has me a bit confused. Both plants have tons of orange pistils with some being so shriveled up you can't see them. Those buds are super tight, but I have a feeling those couple tops like that are seeded. I'll find out soon enough. Honestly, I can't tell. Don't really know what I'm looking for. The problem I'm confused about is the size of the buds. They're tiny, wispy and look underdeveloped. Maybe they are. Who knows. Maybe this strain gets early orange pistils. We shall see. I hope they swell up. Like a lot. As it stands now, it looks like an oz of smalls. Which of course is unacceptable. However, both plants are doing it, so it has to be the strain. Something I probably shouldn't be all that concerned with. I'm leaving the light where it is for the next week or so. With the pistils already turning orange, I'm thinking I should prepare for the final stage of flower. I would expect it to be done in the next 2 to 3 weeks, but it may be less time. Anyway, I'll see what they are doing next week and work from there. The environment is actually looking really good. I managed to get the temp up significantly earlier today by cranking my heat to 88°. It brought the tent temp up to 78° and the humidity just below 50%. Looking good. Now all I have to do is drop the temp a little bit to get to that perfect 75°. Also, my dehumidifier wasn't on. I must of have it off from the other day. So I should see lower humidity by the end of the day. Especially after I adjust the temp. Looking good. Update: I've been thinking about how the buds are so small. I wonder if I took the Big Bud out too early and added the overdrive too soon. I can't go back to Big Bud, but that could be the cause. Still, another 2 to 3 weeks left. So we shall see. But an interesting thought. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 49.0% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 24, 2024 Both ladies got a reservoir refill today. Tropicana C was dried out. So I need to keep a better eye on the water levels. Tropicana Cookies wasn't dried out yet though, very close but not yet. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are finally starting to swell and if there's another 2 weeks, I can expect them to get huge. We shall see. Tropicana C has the same boost in bud production and has swelling buds now. Everything else looks good with her. Speaking of swelling buds and production, both ladies are completely covered in trichomes. Not quite "frosty" yet, but getting there. I'll start with trichome pics next week. That way we have some good specimens to work with. On another note, the aroma these two are putting off is intense now. I'll have to change the smell setting to STRONG next week. It's a sickly sweet smell, but crispy. Not too heavy, but definitely has a gassy undertone. Very nice. I won't be moving the light at all for the rest of the grow. However, I may drop the power down to 80% next week and bring the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d. But maybe not. I'm waiting for the flushing period. I'm not sure when that will be. Maybe 2 weeks? I can't tell with this strain. So many orange pistils and she looks like she is nearly done, but definitely not. They still have a good two weeks left. We shall see. The environment is a bit off today. It's raining, so the humidity is hanging out around 52%. The temp is fine at around 75° to 76°. I'm not too worried about the environment today. Just thought I would note the difference. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 50.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 25, 2024 So today is the last day of week 9 and also going into the first day of late flower. Things will most likely be changing up in the next week. Nutrients, lighting and environment. Not much to do today. No watering needed and no maintenance. I checked out both plants and as I was saying yesterday, the trichomes are looking great and will start getting pics starting tomorrow. Everything looks good for both ladies. The lighting of course wasn't messed with today. That will be changing at some point next week. The environment is shaping up to be great for the start of late flower. I got the temp down to 65° last night and the humidity down to 48°. Today I have had it around 76° with the humidity around 49%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 49.3% VPD: 1.43 kPa

OK this was my 1st grow and I set everything up went through all my controls and away to go ... wrong after pre flower came I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting these ladies to flip.... So I went through everything with runoff feeds Everything you can think of except my timers on the lights and this low and behold was the problem!! where I was going to the tent at similar times everyday the light was on and the timers were set right on the clock except I didn't see the switch on the side that makes the timer work continuously or to how the clock is set....🙈😔 Found this and away to go my ladies had some well needed sleep and away to go they flipped By now these had all bushed right out but were getting no tricomes I now had a hell of a load of feeds and kept up the way I was feeding Water Water Feed and all 4 plants in my tent were all heading for the finish line at the same time.... And now I've cut the Northern and the jack down and from my northern lights I had 200g dry weight I didn't do a wet weight it was too hard to do in the space I had (too many colas and massive nugs along with the stragglers that were lost in amongst it all ) She was really resilient and to have come through all those weeks of no rest and only light for 24hrs continuously I'm surprised that I've got this far Flavours and smells are great and the smoke isn't the strongest but when cure now I will see how this little lady comes on I'm happy for my 1st and have learned so much throughout this journey I will update with more but the next diary will be of the other lady in the tent and will give a more detailed explanation of the full journey but as far as crop goes she gave and gave and gave that little more !! Thanks all for following and I hope my next write up will be all the more detailed for u 😀 As she drys mire and more and I've got the exact weight down her figures are not really changing as I've dried her down as much as I want to ....even if this was something that I wanted to keep as a heavier product weather it was for keeping for myself which is what I will be doing rather than to try to get extra weight if I was doing this grow for resale, but this was never the case it was always a grow I've done to help lower my own smoking costs for my own gain and not resale... So again very happy as these final weights are getting revised there will be more to add to the weight with 1 more plant on the harvest but almost double if not more than doubling what I have already put on but I will change my numbers to 2 lots p .tent and an extremely challenging massive yield OMG 😲 she has yes given given and given more beyond more !!!!

I just harvested her today. Frosty looking nuggets with a pine citrus earthy aroma. Super sticky as well. I had about a 5 to 10 percent amber trichromes. I might of been a pinch early, but she was starting to foxtail. The colas look really nuggy. I had issues with mites early when I switched to flowering. This likely impacted some of the yield potential as she was neem oil treated for a week during that time. She did way better then I expected after that big stressor in play. Mites are long gone now. The plant will now hang dry 24 hours then get a light to mild agression wet trim, and end up in the cannatrol. To start a 8 day dry, and cure process. I will then run it in the bud trimmer. Then hand trim to finish. The G3000 light is a great quality light. I just ran it 19 weeks on a photoperiod grow, and had no issues with any of the Spider Farmer Equipment used. I used the 2.3x2.3x5tent, G3000 light, germination mat, 4 inch inline smart controller exhaust fan, and I will be using the new 16 inch Spider Farmer bud trimmer bowl when time comes. Excellent equipment from start to finish in my grow.
