The 5L pot did wonders! My goal is to fill this entire 3x3 tent. I found myself having humidity and heat issues. To remedy this I purchased a new Vivosun cool mist humidifier and placed my warm air humidifier outside of my tent near the passive intake. Works wonders! Ventilation: 2 X 4” clip fans 4 inch, cheap, in-line fan and carbon filter (I will pay for this later. Just buy the 6 inch MINIMUM! CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER!) Growing about an inch per night!

The plants all look healthy going thru this first budding phase we are almost done with week 2 of flower which will end on wednsday. I bought some pot elevators, and tied apart a few tops growing closer together. All plants tops look even except the first split plant which has a few stretchers, Not to bad tho. I feed 2 times a week and the rest straight distilled water which reads 6.5 ph. Assuming my coco's natural ph balance is wearing slime starting week 3, I'm going to ph to 6.2.

Gather 'round, because it's time for the grand finale of my Tropicana Cookies Auto journey. Week 10 has arrived, and boy, oh boy, this gal has been an absolute delight from start to finish. Let's dive into the final chapter of this epic adventure! I harvested my lovely lady at day 69 from seed, and let me tell you, it was a celebration of beauty and abundance. Picture this: a majestic all-girl harvest, suspended upside down for a glorious two-week drying extravaganza. At a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity of 60%, the drying process unfolded like a symphony of perfection. Now, let's talk trichomes, shall we? Oh, those glorious little resin factories! This Tropicana Cookies Auto has blown my mind with the sheer amount of trichomes it boasts. It's like a frosty wonderland, sparkling like a million tiny diamonds. I've never seen trichomes in such numbers, shapes, and colors before. It's a trichome party, and everyone's invited! But let's not forget the benefits of the drying process. By allowing our precious buds to dry slowly and evenly, we're enhancing their flavors, aromas, and overall quality. It's like fine wine, my friends, getting better with age. Patience is the name of the game, and trust me, the reward is worth every second of anticipation. Now, let me take a moment to give a big shout-out to @Fast_Buds. They've truly outdone themselves with this Tropicana Cookies Auto. It's like they sprinkled magical trichome dust all over these seeds, ensuring a frosty experience like no other. They've got the genetics game on lock! So, my fellow cannabis enthusiasts, as we bid farewell to this remarkable journey, let's cherish the memories, the lessons learned, and the joy shared. From seed to harvest, this Tropicana Cookies Auto has captured our hearts and ignited our passion for the green wonders of the world. May your drying process be smooth, your trichomes plentiful, and your buds burst with flavor. Thank you, Tropicana Cookies Auto, for gracing my garden with your extraordinary presence. You've left an indelible mark in my cannabis-growing adventures. Keep cultivating with love, spreading the joy of this amazing and holy plant we all love so much, and remember, my friends, trichomes are like the glitter of the cannabis world—bright, beautiful, and absolutely fabulous!

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 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

Fifth week of flower and it was time to defoliate the indoor units as they were starting to get bushy and block exposure to the lower bud sites. Quick work with the bonsai shears and they were ready to soak in the sun. I left the rooftop plants alone as I believe having additional leaf mass enables them to withstand temp and environmental fluctuations better. Whether or not this is the case, it was an experiment.

Everything is looking great ! Cheese is nearly done, it is starting to show amber. Maui is very happy and smells amazing, it just glistens with tri-chromes. Buttercream is doing well but I think it will take a week or two longer than the others. Blueberry is looking awesome very large thick dense buds. No Blueberry smell but a very strong plant otherwise. *Update Buttercream gelato started throwing Banana's so I removed it from the room. I trimmed it down and did not notice any other signs of hermaphroditism but I will still harvest the plant now just to be safe. There have been no issues with light or heat fluctuations at all, nothing that would trigger it to Hermie that I can think of which makes me think genetics are the issue. I have One other Buttercream going that was cloned before this one went into flower. If it hermies late in the bloom like this one has I will remove the strain from my rotation. I am not particularly pleased with the structure of Buttercream for scrog in any case. The plant that I took down had very large bud sites but were no where near as dense as the other strains in the tent.

Week 3 day 7. Buds are getting icey and stretching around 1-2” a day. Dropped the carboload and is going to be replaced by a PK booster (big bud). Watering everyday. Plain RO on every 3rd water. The kind LED is pissing on the hps if im being honest. Bud development and vigor seems a lot nicer. Stay baked.

Day 63 Today marks day 63 of flowering and the plants are really showing their final form. The buds have packed on a lot of weight over the past week, and the colas are looking dense, swollen and sticky to the touch. The pistils have mostly changed color now, with a good portion curling in and turning orange and amber, which gives the flowers that mature, finished look. When I check the trichomes under the loupe I can see that the majority are cloudy, with just a few still clear and the first signs of amber starting to show. This is a good sign that the harvest window is opening soon, though I’ll probably let them go a few more days to really finish and develop that extra potency and flavor. The smell is very intense at this point. Every time I open the tent I’m hit with a strong wave of aroma that’s a mix of sweet, earthy and slightly fruity notes, depending on which plant I’m leaning into. It’s sticky enough now that just brushing against a bud leaves resin on my fingers. The leaves are starting to fade naturally as the plant finishes up, showing yellows and some purples, which also makes the buds stand out even more. I’ve stopped feeding nutrients and have been giving only plain, pH-balanced water to let the medium flush out. Runoff is looking clean and the plants seem to be using up the last of their stored energy. Temperatures and humidity are steady, and the airflow in the tent is keeping everything fresh with no signs of mold or rot, which is always something I watch carefully this late in flower. Overall the garden looks amazing and I feel like I’m right on track for harvest. The next week will be about patience and daily trichome checks until I see the balance of cloudy and amber that I’m aiming for. It feels like the long wait is finally paying off, and the excitement is building to finally chop, dry, and cure these beautiful buds

Exciting news my Lemon Haze Auto has officially entered her flowering phase!🌱 She's also started stretching, although so far it's mainly the main stem that's showing significant growth.💚 This week, I also adjusted the nutrient schedule with Biobizz fertilizers to better match her new needs during flowering. 🌿 She's looking healthy and strong, and I’m really curious to see if the side branches will catch up or if the focus stays on one big central cola. 🌞 Let's see where this journey goes! 👀✨

The first week of vegetation is complete, and the plant is off to an okay start! After spending 5 days in the seedling station, I transplanted it into a 15L fabric pot, which will be its final home since it’s an autoflower.🌱 Initially, things weren’t perfect—the first set of leaves turned yellow, likely because I forgot to add coco to the area where I planted it.😅 However, the plant recovered quickly and is now bouncing back nicely! One hiccup was the time-lapse footage—it’s a bit shaky because the fan was directed at the plant, causing some wobble. Overall, I’m optimistic about the plant’s progress and looking forward to seeing how it develops in the coming weeks.🌱 (the plant in the little pot is my first phenotype Runtz muffin from barneys farm that i got gifted and i am getting the setup right now)
