2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol. I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water. 2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled. 2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields.. 2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base. I added 36 Gallons I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil 2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, 2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

Week 11 (03/04 - 09/04) During this week I'll continue to flush the plants. I guess that this will be the last week for all of them. I'm waiting to chop in order to obtain a balance of 60/40 or 70/30 of milky/amber trichomes. Moreover, due to the fact that I have to use the same growbox to dry them, I must cut all the plants the same day. Doing this I think I'll have a more mature Fat Banana #2 and, I hope, a good variety of Blue cheese and Fat Banana #1. 03/04 D71: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3. Trichomes check: all three plants show milky trichomes for the most; few amber on the main branches of two fat bananas 04/04 D72: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3 05/04 D73: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.5 06/04 D74: - 07/04 D75: end of the journey. Chopped all today. Light wet trimming to avoid rot and I've put them drying in the grow room. I will wait a couple of week

The weight of these buds is unknown, but the Masters of this site will be visually approximate. I have all the confidence in their knowledge in elementary physics.

🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 Welcome to week 8, dear fish lovers! 💙 The fish is alive and well! 😌 We made a photo shoot but somehow I wasn't inspired to do something extraordinary, stay tuned for some later-art of the fish! 🙏 🐟 I totally surprised learned about how to monitor the runoff when you make a hydro-coco grow, haha! 😎 So I started to monitor my drain. Interesting. The Tropicana Cookies is very very resilient, peeps! 😉 Had to cope with extreme EC circumstances. Well actually I learned THAT you have to monitor it, but didn't look into how exactly yet this week. 😅 But I monitored it and watered whatsoever. 💧 Poor fish, I know! What would Patanjali have said..... mmmh.. maybe that you can see how clear or clouded your mind is just by looking at the leaves of your fish plant. OM. ✨ Thanks, growmies, for checking in! 💚 💚 💚 😘 Always remember, we are not our thoughts, nor are we our emotions, or experiences, we are limitless, immortal and divine souls making a 3D experience. 🙏 ❇️ ____________________________________________________________________ Strain info: Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance. This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions. Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Auto’s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind. It’s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end. Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready! Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest that’ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/tropicana-cookies-auto _________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ❤️ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Mills Nutrients Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡

12.5 - F60 - another couple dark cycles and she'll get the big dark and chop. Really excited, such a loverly plant and the way the calyx started stacking up in the past couple weeks has been neat. I frequently see people harvest very round buds off this plant, so I'm curious to see how she looks all trimmed up.

Aktueller Zustand der Pflanze (siehe Bild): Diese zweite Pflanze im Grow zeigt sich als das Sorgenkind des Durchgangs und hat die Herausforderungen, mit denen wir zu kämpfen hatten, deutlicher widergespiegelt. * Wuchsform und Streckung: Im Gegensatz zur Nachbarpflanze zeigt diese Pflanze eine ausgeprägte vertikale Streckung, insbesondere im Bereich der Hauptcola. Dies deutet auf ein "Spargeln" hin, das möglicherweise durch unzureichende Lichtintensität in den frühen Phasen, genetische Veranlagung oder suboptimales Training verursacht wurde. Die Energie scheint sich stark auf die Hauptachse konzentriert zu haben, während die Seitentriebe weniger stark entwickelt sind. * Blütenentwicklung: Die Blüten sind zwar vorhanden und zeigen eine beginnende Harzproduktion, wirken aber insgesamt weniger dicht und kompakt als die der ersten Pflanze. Die Blütenmasse pro Cluster ist geringer, und die Struktur ist etwas luftiger. * Blattgesundheit und Stresssymptome: Hier zeigen sich die Auswirkungen der Probleme am deutlichsten. Viele Blätter weisen Verfärbungen auf, die über die natürliche Reifung hinausgehen, darunter helle Vergilbungen und potenzielle Anzeichen von Nährstoffmängeln oder -blockaden. Auch Verdrehungen und Krümmungen an einigen Blättern sind sichtbar, was auf Stress durch die pH-Volatilität und die Algenkonkurrenz hindeutet. Herausforderungen und Erkenntnisse aus diesem Grow: Diese Pflanze hat die Auswirkungen der pH-Volatilität und des Algenbefalls auf der Steinwolle stärker zu spüren bekommen. Die instabilen pH-Werte haben die Nährstoffaufnahme erschwert, und die Algen haben zusätzlich Nährstoffe entzogen und das Wurzelmilieu beeinträchtigt. Dies hat zu den sichtbaren Stresssymptomen und der weniger optimalen Blütenentwicklung geführt. Learnings für den nächsten Grow: Die Erfahrungen mit dieser Pflanze unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit, die pH-Stabilität und die Algenprävention von Anfang an in den Griff zu bekommen. Die geplanten Maßnahmen für den nächsten Durchgang – kleinere Steinwollwürfel und eine umfassende Abdeckung mit Tonkugeln – sind entscheidend, um solche Probleme zu vermeiden und das volle Potenzial jeder Pflanze zu entfalten. Ausblick: Obwohl diese Pflanze mehr Schwierigkeiten hatte, ist es wichtig, aus den Beobachtungen zu lernen. Sie liefert wertvolle Einblicke, wie wichtig ein stabiles und sauberes Anbauumfeld ist. Die Erkenntnisse aus diesem Grow werden dazu beitragen, zukünftige Durchgänge noch erfolgreicher zu gestalten.

I went too far with root juice and Top Veg because the Sunset Sherbet shows some burning in the leaves. Gorilla Breath never appeared so I hope the quality of the seed wasnt the best (gift seed that traveled from California(USA) to Mallorca (SPAIN), im pretty sure its because it was seed-gift quality and no bought-seed quality) Our indoor will be full by Sweet Seeds . Tropicana poisson is the fastest and strongest by the moment ! I dont know why it do not appear in GROW DIARIES seeds but its a GIRL SCOUT COOKIES x TANGIE x RED POISSON (Only this auto). The zkittles do not deserve any review yet, they are doing their thing little by little, nothing expectacular. REMEMBER ALL MY DIARIES ARE FOR SELF CONSUMPTION REMEMBER ALL MY DIARIES ARE A SHARE-POINT OF INFORMATION ! dont be affraid of comment,suggest and share your experiences with me !

Week 13 has been going very well. Looks like this girl is at the end of her time. She has been yellowing and some of her leaf are starting to get purple. She smells like sweet pineapples. I have been giving her a water only flush this entire week and will cut her down at the end of next week. This has been such a pleasure to grow. I can’t wait till she’s cured and I can finally try her. Girl #2 is officially out of the autoflower category. I will not be showing her on this diary anymore. She’s going to be put on a photo schedule in the next few weeks. Can’t lie, I’m very disappointed. I was looking forward to her coming along and being a very late bloomer. Sadly she never came through and I’m ok with that. Everything is a learning experience to help me be better for future grows. She has been yellowing for some reason so I’m gonna get her sorted before I put her into bloom. Thank you all for viewing my diary I really appreciate all the love and support.

Esta semana podemos empezar a diferenciar claramente la formación de cogollos de unas u otras variedades. AMARETTO TARMAC Fruto del cruce entre Amaretto Sour y Apollo Black Cherry, esta genética de dominancia sativa promete un efecto de altos vuelos, cerebral y estimulante, que despierta la creatividad. MACK&CRACK The Mac (AKA Mac1 AKA miracle alien cookies) x Green Crack . De las pocas genéticas verificadas independientemente con más del 30% de THC.

Very enjoyable grow, awesome cultivar, this is what I work for, my nuggets have been grown with love and dedication and the final result is a a plant that has been very thankful and she has provided me amazing sticky flower with those red hairs that I love so much, very strong cerebral buzz, sativa high definitely, makes me remember a lot sour diesel, definitely super pungent loud 🔊 aroma coming from the jars but she was stinking the grow tent when she was there, amazing strain!

So as you can see I now have four flowering which I guess were the autos and I have one gelato that is still vegging and is doing damn good. There are two that have lighter color leaves, I’m trying to focus on on these and see if I can get better production. As for the tall GG in the back, leaves are waxy and have resin production starting. A lot better, overall I’m learning more and more every week! Hope everyone is enjoying my grow and stick around, ask questions. Happy New Year!

Die letzten Wochen vor der Ernte waren echt noch ein auf und ab der Gefühle. Das Wetter, sehr feucht und kalt, hat es mir leider echt schwer gemacht. Budrod in einer Cola der Pineapple Express 😮‍💨 Die Cola stand deutlich im Windschatten, deshalb hoffe ich, dass sich der Pilz nur in dem Mikroklima ausbreiten konnten, die Sporen sind aber leider überall. Jetzt hängt alles zum trocknen und ich muss die Buds genau untersuchen, später bei trimmen werde ich ganz genau jeden Bud mir von Innen anschauen. Außerdem ist mir die Lemon Orange deutlich abgekackt. Die krasse Geldfärbung kam innerhalb von zwei Tagen. Ich glaube es hat mit einer trockenen Phase mit hängenden Blättern kurz zuvor zutun, in der ich 1-2 Tage zu spät gegossen habe. Hat das Bodenleben wohl garnicht verkraftet und ist gekippt. Trotzdem hat sie einen echt intensiven süßlich Zitronenduft. Klein aber fein würd ich zu meinen Buds sagen. Update nach dem ersten Tasting. Mein absoluter Favorit aus dem Grow. Geschmacklich sanft wie der Duft, liegt mir total. Werde sie aufjedenfall wieder growen.
