Beginning of week 8: Tropicana is 24 cm high and the stem is 36 cm long. She is a legal frosty angel (10 degrees last night) growing on a rotten balcony in a small town in germany. Day 50 🌥️☁️☁️ 10-19 degrees, humidity 78% I noticed that the soil has sunk. It moved downstairs, between the drainage I guess. New pots problem. Got my compost, summer will be long and there will be a second round for sure. So I prepared bigger pottery pots, maybe 15 liter, which will be ready for seeds in about a month or two. Tropicana needs rainwater now, some sunny hours during the day. That’s all. I like how she develops. Day 51 ☁️🌨️☁️☁️☁️🌦️🌈 14-19 degrees and humidity is around 77%. I gave Tropicana too much nitrogen. Spotted some signs and stop with fertilizers for now. It‘s ok but the comfrey manure had more nitrogen than I expected. In the next days we‘ll have a lot of rain, so Tropicanas soil will be washed and this will solve the problem maybe. It‘s a big difference to grow cannabis in a pot then veggies in the ground in a no dig garden with yearly compost mulching. My Tomatoes in ground loved this 1:5 comfrey manure breakfast but for Tropicana less would have been more. Maybe 1:15 or 1:10. It always depends on the raw material for the liquid manure. This year we had a lot of rain and the comfrey had maybe more nitrogen as usually. Day 52 🌥️🌤️🌦️🌤️ 13 - 19 degrees and the humidity is 69%. Tropicana had about 0.8 Liter pure rainwater today. It was raining the whole night. Day 53 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 13-17 degrees, humidity is around 90%. Me and Tropicana have a rest. We chill with a tasty vape on the balcony while doing nothing more then chill. Day 54 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 13-18 degrees, humidity is around 93%. Saturday, time for cleaning the balcony and take some fotos of my flowers. Her smell is getting much more intensiv. I see that the color of the buds is getting diverse. The soil is moist from the rain. Day 55 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-18 degrees, humidity is falling, now 69%. Tropicana spend the day chilling with her friends on the balcony. They talked about the weather and what to do in the next week. Day 56 ⛅️🌤️☀️🍉 12-24 degrees, humidity is around 78% Tropicana had a sunbath for hours. I bought a cheap magnifying glass today and I‘m so happy with this one. It have 30x / 60x lenses and two LEDs. I found it in a shop for mycologists. I‘m crazy about mushroom hunting. Normal mushrooms, yes. So this is absolutely relaxing viewing the structure of fruits, my homemade soil, little insects living inside. Actually this was a tip out of a blog article of Fast Buds Tropicana Cookies week by week guide, which I can highly recommend. I gave Tropicana in the morning a 1:20 field horsetail tee, ~ 0,7 liter in three steps. 100-200-400 milliliters. She was drinking it till sunset. The pot got lighter till evening, around half a kilo or maybe more.

A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

420FASTBUDS ORT2109 All in all I would say this was an amazing and easy strain to grow. Unfortunately the worst happened with my flower tent and a few of the girls cought Powder Mold. So I ended up salvaging and harvesting what I could from a few of the plants left before completely overhauling and scrubbing the tent down from top to bottom. I decided to do a dryice sift with the flowers that I saved. I had some trim left over from a past grow so I mixed everything together and Wow am I happy I did. Probably the sweetest smelling kief I've extracted. I'm glad I have more of these seeds so I will not only recommend this strain but definitely be growing it again. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the improvements I've made with the tent I'll have better results as that's what growings all about. Learning with every grow from your mistakes and trying not to let it get your discouraged cause from my experience the more issue's you come across and learn to resolve the better grower you will be. Happy Growing

Environmental Adjustments: Due to cool temperatures, a root heater was installed this week. The heater also helps maintain higher nighttime temperatures, improving overall conditions. Final Selection: The last selection was made, removing a smaller plant with slight leaf deformities. Although the differences were minor, only one plant was retained. Growth Observations: The selected plant shows symmetrical and robust growth. No abnormalities or issues have been observed, and it continues to thrive under the improved conditions. Summary: Week 2 marks steady progress with optimized conditions, setting the stage for continued strong development. dein-onlineheadshop.de/ Use my referral code 420Shop at checkout to get a discount on your purchase.

Yesterday I started the radical washing. In about 2 weeks it will be ready to be cut.

Empieza el adiestramiento! Corte apical en el brote central y defoliacion general😋

Hi

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der dritten Blütewoche zeigen sich immer mehr stigmen! Die Pflanze beginnt nun richtig mit der Blütenproduktion und dennoch Stretched sie immernoch ordentlich. 8cm Höhenwachstum in einer Woche. Daher ist eine Technik um die Höhe im Zaum zu halten absolut erforderlich. Und Leute! Weiterhin keine männlichen Polensäckchen in Sicht! 😁 Das freut mich besonders, da ich schon sehr lange darauf warten diesen Strain in voller Pracht zu sehen. Sie hat inzwischen eine richtig buschige und breitgefächerte Struktur. Ich habe nun die unteren Triebe entfernt und noch etwas Laub rausgenommen. Die Beleuchtung habe ich in dieser Woche nochmal auf dass Maximum hochgefahren. Aus der Erfahrung heraus, ist es für die Pflanze ab BW3 ein guter Zeitpunkt für die Kosten/Nutzen effizients so zu fahren. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 23°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 52% VPD: 0,85 kPa 😎 PPFd: 830 mqm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

The first week of progress. Got a little sprout coming out. The leaves got somewhat messed up from the shell sticking. More to come.

Stretching is still going. Buds development is great and i have no issue what so ever so far. Just the leafs hang a bit due to less watering but that changed.

➖ Plants have stopped growing📏📏📏 ➖ Plants make new flowers everyday 🌺🌺🌺 ➖ Plants started to make shiny trichomes, whick appear to glow in the dark 🌟🌟🌟 A : 37days Bloom 🌼 2x Pheno#1 2x Pheno#2 B : 32days Bloom 🌼 1x Pheno#5 1x Pheno#1 2x Pheno#2 We had a heatwave this week, therefore temperatures were over 30°C 🌡️

Erntereif !

Sorry for missing a couple Weeks. These shots were taken on May 22nd. They are both looking really good, growing well. Good stretch and they are starting to stack well. I have just stayed with the normal feeding.

Phase: Blüte – Woche 3 (Peak Stretch & Flower Initiation) Status: Hochleistungs-Modus 📊 Aktuelle Parameter (Dashboard-Check) • pH-Wert: 6,0 (Stabilisiert im Goldstandard-Bereich) • EC-Wert: 2,08 (Oberes Limit – Maximale Nährstoffverfügbarkeit) • Wassertemperatur: 19,7°C (Optimal für maximale Sauerstoffsättigung) • Luftfeuchtigkeit (RLF): 43% (Exzellente Prävention gegen Schimmelbildung) • Klima: Stabil unter 12/12 Lichtzyklus mit stündlichen UV-Intervallen. Nährstoff-Update & Strategie In dieser Woche wurde die Nährlösung auf das Maximum hochgefahren. Die Pflanze zeigt einen enormen Hunger, was den Einsatz des vollen Hesi Hydro-Schemas rechtfertigt. • PK 13/14: Der Phosphor-Kalium-Boost wurde diese Woche integriert, um die Blütenbildung (Bud-Sweeling) massiv anzukurbeln. • EC-Management: Mit einem EC von 2,08 bewegen wir uns am Limit der Pflanze. Das Blattbild wird täglich auf Anzeichen von Nährstoffbrand kontrolliert, bisher zeigt sich die AK-47 jedoch als extrem belastbare "Heavy Feeder"-Genetik. 🌿 Pflanzenentwicklung & Training Der "Stretch" ist fast abgeschlossen, und die Pflanze hat das Zelt nun vollständig ausgefüllt. • Blütenansätze: Überall bilden sich die ersten kompakten Blütenstände ("Buttons") mit einer Vielzahl an weißen Stigmata. • Struktur: Dank der LST-Clips konnte die Canopy trotz des massiven Wachstums relativ gleichmäßig gehalten werden. Die Lichtpenetration durch die Rotlicht-Zusätze zeigt deutliche Wirkung in der Vitalität der Seitentriebe. • UV-Licht: Die stündlichen UV-Intervalle werden beibehalten, um die frühe Harzproduktion (Trichome) zu triggern. 📝 Resümee & Ausblick Die Pflanze hat die kritische Phase des pH-Werts nach dem letzten Wasserwechsel perfekt überwunden. Die Stabilität bei pH 6,0 ist ein Beweis für ein gut eingestelltes System. In der kommenden Woche wird der Fokus auf der Beobachtung der Blattspitzen liegen, um bei dem hohen EC-Wert rechtzeitig reagieren zu können, falls die Sättigung erreicht ist.

Raised the EC. Exploded after stretch. After defoliating:

Simply put I am so very pleased with the way this plant has performed my only worry is how to properly dry and cure this magnificent specimen
