ready to chop

This was such an amazing experience! The outcome could have been better but I'm happy and the quality is definitely there!!!!! Such a sweet tasting smoke with very relaxing, very creative highlights! I finally got to try this strain and I immediately see why it's a legend!!! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

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.

Началось самое интересное, цветочки начали набирать массу и пухнуть, появился слабый запах, мне напоминает зрелую дыню, очень приятный натуральный аромат. Поливаю сейчас каждый день по 2,5 литра воды, до дренажа, чередуя через каждые 2 дня с удобрениями, сейчас думаю поливать 3 дня чистой водой и на 4 день давать удобрение, так как дренаж выходит крепкий коричневый с ppm 700, с PH всё нормально, если залил 6.3 PH то 6.3 и выходит. Есть цветы под кроной, до которых не доходит свет, хотелось сделать дефолиацию, но боюсь что поймает стресс. Если есть рекомендации по растению, напишите, пожалуйста, свой комментарий.

I gave the girls an organic compost tea for nutrients(1 tsp Blk molasses,1cup worm cast,2 tablespoon kelp,2 tablespoon alfalfa meal,1tablespoon bat guano) and lsted again to get more bushier autos. I also moved my smallest autoflower to my 4x4 tent which is on a 12/12 schedule on 3/18/23

New lightning 🤩 let’s make some serious work in here 💪💪💪 I replaced the two Marshydro ts 1000

Week 10 (3-4 to 9-4) 3-4 Temperature: 22.5 degrees (lights on) 19.3 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 59% (lowest) 4-4 Temperature: 22.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 66% (highest) 59% (lowest) 5-4 Temperature: 23.4 degrees (lights on) 20.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 56% (lowest) No pictures. 6-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20.7 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 55% (lowest) It looks like the plants are doing better since they havent got any water the past couple of days. Today i decided to heavily defoliate the plants. I also found a old feeding schedule from Green House with PH values, and it recommends that i should give an PH of 5.7 on coco. I thought PH 6 was good, but i was wrong, maybe this in combination with the plants being too wet, is the reason for the weird growing leaves, and the problems they show. I cleaned the reservoir and made sure there is no old water in the lines. I made a full strength 10L feed, and added it to the reservoir. I turned the reservoir on for around 3 mins, just to the point that the AutoPot trays are full of water and the valves are shutting them off, then i turn the reservoir off. I will do this every other day, so 1 time in 2 days. 7-4 Temperature: 25.7 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 50% (lowest) 8-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 55% (lowest) Today i turned on the reservoir for 3 minutes again, just till the trays are full of water. 9-4 Temperature: 25.9 degrees (lights on) 21.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 51% (lowest) No pictures.

Disculpen las fotos, es que las saque para consultar. Bueno primero que nada fue una semana de mucha tormanta, lluvias y humedad. lo peor que nos puede pasar en floracion. Segundo intente hacer supercroping ya que las ramas seguian superando el tejido y les llegaba luz en la noche. Y me salio desastrozo, mi primera vez. Pero los otros punteros que superaban la altura, los hizo mi compañero que sabia hacerlo (No tengo foto, luego actualizo). Y Tercero que debido a la humedad se ven en las fotos como aparecio hongos, por lo que pude observar era solo ese poco, lo cual ya fue removido vamos a ver como continuamos.

I’m very happy with this strain and would highly recommend. The grow went well despite having some nutrient issues on my part off the bat, the plant over stretched and burnt the main cola on the light. But overall the plant ended up very large and beautiful. I’d guess i get 3+ ounces from this plant.

26.06 After connecting the air conditioner, the temperature stabilized and I have differences of about 7-8 degrees between day and night. Today I replaced one mixing fan, because the well-deserved Chinese one has already lost its power. He served almost 2 years, which is a really good result. I replaced it with High Pro, none of them lasted as long as the Chinese one. The plants look very nice, I haven't noticed excessive activity of Sciara militaris. Soil Attack and yellow sticks do the job. Humidity 53% 27.06 The stems have regenerated nicely, but I'm still going to hold the knees a bit to strengthen them. I added water from Soil Attack. They swell beautifully, the hair on the flowers is very long, which means good adaptation. Water 2L. Humidity 63% 2.07 I measured the amount of PPFD at peak places and they were too low. So I lowered the lamps. I added a small dose of Power Silica to strengthen the stems, because after super cropping the plants may have a problem with maintaining the top. The conditions are good. Day 28-29 degrees, night 19-21. Humidity from 54-63%. At this stage, I can easily maintain such humidity, especially since I have well-mixed air in the tent.

Really late updating this week so next got next week to upload tonight too, plant has been doing fine, she is fattening nicely and filling out along the stems nicely, surprisingly not too smelly yet though but hopefully that will come stronger soon, looks packed with crystals already overall pleased coming along nice

When should they start flowering?

Hopefully she doesn't stretch much more because the light is almost touching its support bar. Back soon. Take it easy.

This week started of good except for ph and iron. I'm phing feed and water to 6 but my naturally 7.6 ph water is raising ph. I've realized my water and organic soil don't have iron in them. It's keeping these from greening up properly. I do have blood meal in the soil but not enough. I'll be adding an iron supplement next week when it arrives. Until then I'm going to feed a little masses and blood meal with the ph water. I've had a difficult learning curve switching from coco and salts to organic and soil. #2 got topped on day 1. I'm going to clone this top so I'll have this plant for the future.

3.23.2024: Start of week 10. Day 60 from sprout. Moving along nicely. Did some defoliation to open everything up. Main cola is legit. One of the side branches is almost as big as the main cola. Bought a loupe and trichomes are just slight turning milky but only in a few spots. Some purpling but def not to the level of some of the other pheno's i've seen which is kinda a bummer. 3.24.2024: Day 61. Fed 1/4 strength nutes. 96oz of 6.5ph. Got stoned last night and did some more defoliation. 3.25.2024: Day 62. ZZZzzzZZzzz 3.26.2024: Day 63. 96oz at 6.5ph. Runoff ppm at 730. 3.27.2024: Da 64. ZZzzzZZz 3.28.2024: Day 65. just the tiger bloom and cal mag today at 1/4 strength. 96oz at 6.49ph. 3.29.2024: Day 66. End of week 9. Trichomes starting to get milky. Maybe 70/30?

Really good week, she's almost to the finish line. Sweet berry fruit terp profile.
