Overall happy with this solo cup grow, wish I could have got a little more but I ended with 6.3 grams dry weight, bud looks amazing. Post more of a update after I smoke it in a few days! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!

Noticed PK deficiency in leaves so added 2 tablespoons on happy frog Bone Meal and 2 tablespoons on Down to earth... Week 9. Plants liked the added PK but damage was dealt plants getting a heavy flushing.

Day 64 🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 11-19 degrees and the humidity is around 65%. I started into the tenth week with an intense check of the main buds. Some of the trichomes are milky but the most are still clear. Maybe I‘m wrong. Some days ago I could spot some amber trichomes but the flowers expanded and it‘s not possible to find anymore amber ones. Watered 500ml pure rainwater. Day 65 🌤️☁️🌥️☁️ Today Tropicana needs a rest. She just want to sit and do nothing except waiting for sunshine warming her heart. In the evening she asked for water, potting soil lost enough weight. 600ml with 60ml light fermented flower and herb tee. ~100 ml drainage with PH 6,2. In the main flower it was possible to find a small amount of amber trichomes. Day 66 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-21 degrees, humidity 45-65%. This morning I understood, that Tropicana was not thirsty yesterday, she need to breath oxygen with her roots to feel happy. The beautiful smell is way not so intense since last night. I missed the strong smell when I opened the door to our balcony in the early morning. So no watering yesterday would be better. And my banana peel tee is not free of nitrogen, same with the herb and flower tee. Less is more will be written in my diary in the next days (weeks). Watching Trichome TV: I see more amber and I see that she needs more time after all this stress which I made for her. She told me that she is not only sick of water, she told me, that she hate to be moved all the time, too. Every move from A to B she would loose tiny roots and this would stress her a lot. When I checked the moisture I spotted too many of this root fly castings. Their mamas and papas had their orgie about a week ago and now they are eating the mulch layer roots as if there will be no morning. This is not Tropicanas day. But the sun is shining and tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully with a nose full of this tasty fruity and woody citrus smell. Day 67 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-19 degrees, humidity 42-80%. This morning the smell was more intensive like yesterday but still not like before. The leafs show the first signs of fading and I‘m very nervous. This night will fall a lot of rain for several hours. But a part of our balcony is canopied, so Tropicana will be a little bit protected by me this night. I don‘t want to make another mistake, so I use this possibility. Anyway the plants are always wet after a strong rain, it‘s just a little canopy, but not soaked with water. Day 68 🌧️☁️⛅️🌤️ 15-21 degrees and the humidity is 74-85%. Tropicana feels better. The smell this morning was much more intensive then the days before. Day 69 ⛅️🌤️🌥️☁️ 15-22 degrees, humidity 46-89%. Tropicanas flowers are swelling and while she is maturing her smell is getting more intense and complex. Right now mandarin and an earthy woody smell, sometimes even a bit sour like a mixture of pineapple and lime juice. It‘s possible to find new colors in the flowers. There’s purple and pink, orange and ocher brown appeared. Tropicanas main flower looks like the harvest time is near, but the trichomes are still clear and just started to get milky. Anyway she is incredible fast, especially if to remember the extrem conditions with minimal temperature around ten degrees in the early mornings. Day 70 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 17-23 degrees, humidity 63-94%. In the next days we will have humid thunderstorm weather. There is even a warning for huge hailstones for tomorrow. So there is a risk of damage and mold because of high humidity. I will have an eye on this. Tropicana looks healthy, so I‘m not worrying too much anymore.

Day 144 23/09/24 Monday (Start of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today. Seeing her starting to really take shape now, buds forming well, trichomes now flooding in. She's looking good 😍 Day 146 25/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron PK13-14. Day 148 27/09/24 Friday Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Picture and video update 😎 Day 150 29/09/24 Sunday (End of Week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. She is now exploding with bud sites 🤤 Will lollipop at end of week to allow better focus on tops. I know it's late in the game but there are some wispy strands that have re emerged so I'll take care of them tonight. Picture update 😎

Seedlings stretched a bit had to put them under the light early. Popped 2 seeds initially with 2 freebies I got, unfortunately the freebies didn't germinate in a week so I tossed them and popped two more Dolatos and all four germinated with 100% success rate. Kept them on a 20/4 schedule watering them only once and sprayed the top soil with a mister every now and again. 👍🏿

Now she is smelly!

💩Holy Crap💩 That was so much fun , it's full on winter where I am and it kept me busy , and come on there's nothing like growing your own stuff. I had a blast as it's been at least over 10 years since my last indoor grow , and it was fun , I had used all of my old techniques and equipment and it worked out just fine , so I was glad I had a ruff idea of what to expect...... Final thoughts Gonna be honest about that grow , it should me just how far Genetics have come, 10 plus years ago before I stopped growing indoors , all we had was like lowrider auto and greenomatic auto and maybe few others but they were horrible...... but this auto produced quite well as expected it should with the size of my medium and my soil base and very little nutrients, which is what I had hoped for from the start , cause I didn't really know where to start in terms of Genetics as I have been out the game for awhile but I'm super glad with the results and some gratitude needs to be sent to CanukSeeds , they came through as it always starts and ends with elite Genetics👌 ........... I can't wait to start my next grow diary, so keep an eye out , there's gonna be more to come , I'm going to try some really interesting cultivars........ PS. Can anyone tell me this , back in the day like 2003-4-5-6 wasn't growdiaries.com just a private forum cause if memory serves me , I was among those lucky enough to find a community that did complete grow logs, fourm style, which is where I found my growmie and Mentor Franco Loga from Greenhouse seeds , RIP BUDDY 😃 CANT WAIT TO START MY NEXT GROW 👉I HAVE CREATED A PLACE FOR GROWMIES TO VISIT , SHOW OFF THERE GROWS , AND JUST HANG OUT .....👈 👉ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs

Vraiment hâte quel seche celle si !! Vraiment une plante surprenante (presque pas de feuille , 6...8 branche (seulement ) et pourtant j pense elle est pas loin des 100g sec ..je repasse pour smoke test ;) et pour le poids Et comme promis après 2 semaine de séchage et 2semaine de curring le premier joint de 2g m'a mis à l envers !!! Vraiment très forte (j ai pourtant une grosse tolérance je dab régulièrement et fume depuis plus de 30ans) Mais cette weed c est du lourd après le joint j été bien détendu mais à la limite de la parano donc weed pas adapté au newbie !! Pour le goût c est surprenant j avais goûter la weed après le séchage avant curring et la le goût ressembler au bonbon en forme de coca et la après 2 semaine de curring le goût devient plus fin avec un jolie goût cerise au moment de recracher la fumer ;) et avec cela il y a un fond très sucrée avec un mélange.cafe.vanille.cerise en bouche vraiment une grande diversité de terpenes et j ai commandé de quoi tester le % de thc (stay tuned = je posterai la vidéo du test au complet ..voilà voilà En résumé herbe très puissante !!! (Vous etent prévenu) Un goût magique et qui ne ressemble à rien d autre vraiment une strain top qui je le rappelle à seulement besoin de 10 semaine de la graine à la recolte!!! Et pour toutes ces raison je commandé et recommande cette variété que j ai adoré faire pousser (vraiment simple;) Et que j adore fumer ;) encore plus simple Voilà la raison qui m'a fait en mettre 2x autre en route avec 2 x strawberry x gorrila ,je vous invite à aller voir les différents journaux ..merci à fast bud qui a eu la gentillesse de me sponsorisé Et sans qui on devrais attendre plus de 4 mois pour avoir le même résultat !!! Thx

Day 99 07/10/24 Monday Flushing this week Using de-chlorinated tap water 10L pH 6 with Flawless finish. Seeing her finalise and ripen this week will be satisfying 😍 Watching her colours transform, she's just stunning 👌 Picture and video update 📸 Day 101 09/10/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 103 11/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today again pH 6. Only 1.5L Day 104 12/10/24 Saturday Another Flush today, using 10L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with flawless finish. She really has darkened in colour now, fans showing a deep dark Purple / Black, the buds themselves are a deep dark purple, and absolutely laced with trichomes 🤤 Picture update tonight📸💚

I started using the bud clips to bend the longer tops where I want them. hopefully I’ll be able to get a trellis net up after my drainage trays get here and I can suck out my runoff with a pump or shop vac. I’m thinking a small transfer pump with two hoses. vac is just too loud. next grow I’m using a tilted drain table and a pump out I hope.

Cindy has been flipped to flower! Both plants in my tent have reached their max veg height and width. I did a preflower defoliation and flush and have flipped to a 12/12 light cycle.

DAY 71 💧 - Added 1000ml tap water with PH- to drop ph from 6.9 and ec 1.7 📑 - DWC PH 6.4 - EC 1.7 🌱 - She starts to develop the smell, I finally see some potential. I just need to fix her. DAY 72 💧 - RESERVOIR CHANGE ~15L tap + nutes (reduced the proportions of all the additivies keeping it closer to main schedule) 📑 - DWC PH 6.2 - EC 1.5 🌱 - Experienced people suggested I need a res change, with lower EC, so here we are. DAY 74 💧 - 2L added (1L tap + 1L distilled) 📑 - DWC PH 5.9 - EC 1.6 🌱 - PH falling EC creepling up, need to dilute more, spots keep appearing. She is indeed really dark. DAYS 75-76 💧 - I keep adding tap water ~1L a day because my ph keeps falling lower than 5.5, but it EC kinda stays the same. 📑 - I'm doing my best to keep PH at 6 but it keeps falling. EC flactuates very little and mostly stays at 1.6 🌱 - A lot of rusty spots on some leaves... still looks quiet dark. But buds look good :) I'm still not sure about her smell. Can't say neither good or bad so far, kinda of meh but hope she can develop her fruity side more.

Gute Woche für die Photos, durchwachsen für die Autos. Die ak haben wieder eine Blattläuse Attacke erlebt. Habe die lästigen Dinger wieder manuell entfernt.Es läuft. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Le 2 Fast Flowerg stanno crescendo bene e in salute, questa settimana ho dato solo acqua e zeolite per via fogliare, stanno rispondendo molto bene al super soil e alla luce, con internodi bassi e un ottima struttura..questi giorni vedrò se fare qualche potatura e settimana prossima qualche clone!

Start of week 7(May 3rd 2022). I’ve been using Lotus Grow every watering and so I decided to flush the pots with 7x their water holding capacity in the bathtub. I will be alternating between Lotus bloom/boost and a plant based “tea” from Dragonfly Earth Medicine called Fat Flowers. Lights were too close and caused marks on the leaves which look like deficiencies, I’ll keep a close eye until I can be sure. The petioles are purpling on the indoor plants as well(might be genetics though from the Strawberry Nuggets).

This plant has recovered from nutrient deficiency and is growing great. Doing lst everyday and plant is responding great. This is going to be a big girl. Still no signs of flower. The other NL from growers choice I grew took forever to flower also. Monday update - did a little defoliation. Looks a little thin. Should get fuller in a few days

Big autoflower! Defoliation and prunnig during this week! More and more buds!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.
