Beginning of week 9: Tropicana is 27 cm high and the stem is 38 cm long. Sun is back, rain stopped, happy growing. Day 57 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-23 degrees, humidity is between 70 and 80%. Today I checked the PH of my collected rainwater, of the drainage, of my field horsetail tee / manure. With the soil everything is ok I think. PH of the drainage is 5,9. I was very surprised about the high PH of my homemade fertilizer. Today I took some macro fotos with my new magnifying glasses. I saw the first purple leafs and trichomes everywhere. They are all clear I think. It‘s my first time growing a cannabis plant and I love it!😻 Day 58 🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 13-23 degrees, humidity between 60 and 95%. Tropicana feels better now with more light. It‘s much brighter during the days but today again cloudy. In my eyes Tropicana looks happy and she is so beautiful. I want to bite in one of those buds, but I will not do yet. Maybe I will take some of the less lighted buds, harvest for tee with cream. I like to vape my cannabis and cook or bake with resin and butter. So I plan to let Tropicana take all the time she needs to produce enough amber medicine. Day 59 🌤️☀️🌤️⛅️ 12-24 degrees, humidity 65-80% The smell is incredible. I really like it. Day 60 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌥️ 11-25 degrees, humidity 62-78%. This morning Tropicana got a bio banana shake which I prepared yesterday evening. I chopped three banana peels and boiled them in one liter of water for short. After I blended them together wit the water and let it stand overnight. Then I sifted the fertilizer in the early morning and gave Tropicana her breakfast: 700ml rainwater and 70ml of my banana fertilizer. The drainage had a PH of 6 On nearly all flowers it‘s possible to find purple colors. The pistils started to change the colors. Our balcony is in the first floor and today it was possible to smell Tropicana down on the street next to the house. 🤭 Day 61 🌤️☀️☀️☀️ 11-26 degrees, humidity 55-75%. Today it was very obvious that Tropicana started fatten up the buds to mature: Different colors, very strong smell, pistils are getting orange. I spotted the first amber trichomes. I could have a nice and potent June harvest but I think it will finish in the first week of July. Day 62 🌤️⛅️🌤️⛅️ 13-21 degrees, humidity is 50-60%. Tropicana enjoys the morning sun while I drink a fresh hemp leaf tee and reflect the last two month of my legal balcony grow. I watered with 700ml pure rainwater. The run off PH ist around 6,3. So I‘m quit sure that the reason for the increase in PH was the watering with the field horsetail manure, which has got a high PH something like more then 7. Day 63 ☀️☀️☀️☀️ 13-20 degrees and the humidity is between 66 and 85 % Beautiful monday morning. Tropicana asked for a banana smoothie, today 1:20 mixed with 700 ml. pure rainwater. She likes to drink it slowly, so I don‘t water all in one anymore. First maybe 20%, 10 minutes later 30% and after half an hour 50%. If I watered all in one, 100 ml of 700 ml run off. If I water step by step, all of the water stays in the pot. After 24 h the pot is much lighter and I need to water again. She is very thirsty in these days.

Harvest in week 12. But I screwed up, I didn't have enough room to separate each variety, so I would put an average weight when everything was dry... I had done everything well, I had to mistake on the place of the drying bag Last pictures, mixed buds

Happy to report that Miss Mango Kush survived 1 hail storm and the dog days of summer. Temperatures reached 100* and Gorilla Cookies weather the heat like she weathered the hail storm. Completely resistant to both. She was an easy grow. The only problem was me, the grower. I should be ashamed that I tried using Miracle Grow as an experiment. Glad I figured it out half way through the grow and changed my nutrient to @AdvancedNutrient Jungle Juice. Her wet weigh in was 64.12 grams and I am excited to see what her dry weight and smoke report will be. Thanks for following me in this grow. As always, comments are wonderful and I like hearing from you. DRY BUD WEIGHT IS .815 OZ--NOT A LOT BUT PRETTY GOOD WITH THE EXTREME HEAT AND HAIL STORM.

Day 71 - 13/06/2025 It was also the harvest day for Mango Cream! 🧑‍🌾 This plant was so thickness. Huge buds with 7cm of width and strong smelling of gas and fruity, but mainly gas terpenes. Those plants were with small structure but with large and dense buds. This plant is heaviest than Strawberry Cola 1 and I'm expecting to have 80g+ from this one. It's already on the dry box with Strawberry Cola 1 and should be ready for trimm in 7/10 days. Let's keep following the process! Cheers! 🍁🤞🏽🔥

Left town for a few days and remote managed the grow flawlessly and to spec. Looking better than ever - and I wasn’t even around. She’s a late stretcher. Last 4 days, 1+ inch vertically a day. Praying that she stays short at 20ish inches.

Weekly update on these beautiful ladies. Did another defoliating this week as well as lollipopped them up another node. I feel it helps mature the lower flower sites and allows plenty of airflow though the leafs. I introduced bloom nutes as well as P&K. All in all Happy Growing

Day 23 – Morning Calm Before the Sunny Surge A calm and promising start to Day 23. This morning, the air temperature was 15°C, and although the sun hadn’t yet reached the plant, the forecast points to a bright, warm day ahead – ideal for further outdoor strengthening. To prepare the plant for a full day in the sun, I provided a fresh watering of 1.3L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. The substrate was moderately dry, and the timing felt just right to keep the root zone hydrated before peak sun hours arrive. Observations: The plant’s structure continues to impress – strong, upright growth with a confident posture. Leaf spread is wide and balanced, indicating steady internal energy and photosynthetic activity. The main stem is visibly thickening, showing natural resilience developing from daily exposure. I’ve chosen a slightly shaded spot to begin the day, allowing the plant to ease into the rising sunlight gradually, preventing thermal shock during the early stages. The full sun will arrive soon, and with it – another valuable training session under the UK sky. Step by step, the outdoor rhythm becomes natural, and this CBD Auto 20:1 continues to adapt with grace and strength. Day 24 – Thriving Under the Heat, Watered with Caution Today brought another burst of sunshine to this outdoor journey – and with it, a true test of endurance for my CBD Auto 20:1. The air temperature in direct sun rose to 40°C, pushing the plant’s limits under intense midday exposure. Despite the scorching heat, she stood tall and open, absorbing every photon with strength and grace. The leaves showed no wilting or curling, which confirms that she’s adapting well to her natural surroundings. Watering: Due to time constraints in the morning, I had no choice but to water the plant in the late afternoon, using 1.3L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. Yes – many would argue that early morning watering is ideal, but sometimes reality calls for flexibility. The substrate had cooled slightly by then, and I made sure to pour gently and evenly, avoiding any root shock from hot soil contact. Observations: Leaf colour is rich and uniform – she’s clearly photosynthesising efficiently. The top growth is vibrant and symmetrical, showing strong apical development. Stem thickness is improving, and overall plant posture feels balanced and alert. Every day is a lesson – and this one reminded me that outdoor growing is about adapting to both climate and life’s rhythms. The journey continues, and so does the strength of “Sators”. Day 26 – Dancing with the Wind, Waiting for the Right Time Today’s weather offered a different kind of challenge – a damp, chilly start with stronger gusts of wind rolling in from early morning. A light rainfall made an appearance too, and although not severe, I chose caution and brought the plant indoors to avoid unnecessary stress, especially with soil moisture still carefully balanced. Later in the day, conditions improved, and the CBD Auto 20:1 is back outdoors, soaking up the afternoon light once again. Growth update: The structure is becoming more defined, with symmetrical leaf spacing and dense apical growth. Stem integrity continues to improve, especially as the plant sways and flexes with occasional breezes – perfect natural resistance training! Colour and texture remain consistent and healthy – no signs of stress or nutrient imbalance. Still waiting… There’s a strong desire to finally leave the plant outdoors full-time, but timing is everything in organic, outdoor growing. Ideal conditions for permanent outdoor transition would be: Night temperatures consistently above 12°C No risk of heavy rain or strong wind without shelter Stable daytime highs between 18–28°C, with gentle sun exposure in the early hours We’re close – but a few more days of caution now can secure weeks of uninterrupted growth later on. This journey is as much about patience as it is about light and water.

10/27: I rearranged the garden today and checked to see if she needed water yet. Nope.. 10/28: I watered her with about 1/4 gallon including terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, and some beastie bloomz because she's a little K deficient. 10/29: She's only stretching about an inch every couple of days..spending more energy on pistils, which is fine by me. Damn she's a hungry one, though! I'm still planning to flush tomorrow with no major nutes, but will give her another little dose of N and a metric shit-ton of P and K once she dries back out. 10/30: I decided not to do a flush and just did a very thorough watering today with added terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, humic acid, myco and bene bacti. I put about a half-gallon through her and let her sit and soak up all the run-off. It should take a few days for her to dry out. 10/31: I checked her moisture level. I'll feed her tomorrow. She's still looking P and.or K deficient despite my attempts to correct it. 11/1: I took her out of the closet and did a little defoliating. I sprinkled a little bat guano on her soil and fed her with about a half-gallon including all the good stuff, including beastie bloomz and full strength Tiger bloom. Surely that'll do the trick... 11/2: She still looks terribly K deficient and I just don't get it..thinking maybe my Ph tester needs recalibration or something. Like, maybe it's just to acidic for the K to be absorbed... I sprayed her thoroughly with boom boom spray and a little tiger bloom today.

Today, on day 57, the plants have gained height and transitioned to the active flowering phase, with their height now around 100–130 cm. Nutrient concentration is 850 ppm, room temperature daytime up to 26°C, nighttime up to 22°C, CO2 concentration up to about 850 ppm, and humidity at 50%. The light schedule is 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. PPFD — 700. Nothing was changed in the parameters. The plants continue to gain mass. They've grown even more. Growth is good, height already exceeds 125 cm. Visually, there are no deficiencies or burns; the bushes are developing very vigorously and absorbing their 850 ppm well without salt buildup. We did defoliation, removed a decent amount of leaves, probably 20 kg wet. We'll send them for extraction. The plants have spread out a lot in width, branches are already closing the passages between tables, jungle 😁. Big rastafari to everyone, Raizap brothers! 😝

🌱 Grow Diary – Week 11 Veg Week 11 of veg, and the plant is finally settling into a steady rhythm again. After last week’s defoliation and topping, she’s been taking her time to bounce back, and this week you can see clear signs of recovery. Growth is coming back with energy, not explosive, but steady and healthy. Right now, there are eight new apex sites forming nicely. I’m considering topping again, but that’s still undecided—I’d rather let her keep pushing forward for a while before making that call. For now, she’s cruising. The main focus this week is on stability. pH has been kept between 5.9 and 6, and that seems to be working well. Temperatures are holding steady at 22–23°C, with relative humidity around 70%. These conditions feel just right for recovery and steady growth heading into autumn. On the branch I taped after it cracked during training, the healing seems to be going fine. I haven’t fully checked under the tape yet, but from the look of things, it should be on track, and I’ll likely remove it next week. It’s a bit frustrating that we lost some valuable time in the early stages, but over the past few weeks the plant has definitely been getting back on track. The color looks healthy, growth is steady, and overall she’s moving in the right direction again. So, Week 11 is about patience, observation, and keeping everything dialed in. No big changes, just letting her recover and stack energy for what’s next.

*English below* La planta está terminando su sexado, comenzando flora, día 2. El stretching fue una locura, de una planta de 70 cm (que use la mitad para hacer esquejes), en solo 15 días crecio arriba de 1.5 m. La primavera en buenos aires acompaño con un clima perfecto los últimos dos meses. La planta tuvo 70 días de vegetativo. 2 day blooming, the stretching was massive, the plant was 75cm and now it's more than the double of that size. Half of the plant was used for clons, so in 15 days of stretching, 35 cm of plant became this.

Light on Spider farmer SF4000 was turned up to 70 percent plant is doing better. Light is still 36 inches above plants in a 2x4 tent. I turned the light to 70% from 50% 3 days later I think I see some nanners starting. Possible light stress? I am going to let it all play out really interested in seeing what happens. I am all about the learning.

Another round of topping. Tied her all back to spread out for LST. Going to flip to flower next week. Used the Kushman technique and Supercropped all her stems every inch on the way up, without bending. Gives her muscles to flex <3
