Overall this was good strain to grow and I would try it again on maybe an outdoor grow to see how big it gets. The bud structure could have been a little better and it wanted to bush out alot so maybe not the best for scrog. Seems like its a bit of a heavy feeder too and I may have went a little light on nutrients. It wasn't as dense as i thought is was going to be but that was most likely from my environment.

Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode! Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully. First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with. Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies. How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant. How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition. Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds. The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day. As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny. Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Day 53: Things are going well. I always make pictures before doing work. As you can see, down below it starts to absord the nutrients our of the leafs( picture 3). This is a good sign that I have not been overfeeding and the plants even want to have more nutrients! I might raise my EC to 2-2.2 after all. Yet I don't expect big buds from this grow, Just many buds which is alright to me as well. Hopefully they will grow compact. They will start to fatten up soon tought.

Holaa, empezaremos este seguimiento desde la 4ªsemana. (ya que lo comencé y no fotografíe desde el principio, servirá para aprender) Son dos esquejes que me regalaron los cuales no estaban identificados. Estamos en invierno en mi país por lo que tengo problemas con la temperatura, ahora cambie mi iluminación led y está aumento la temperatura a 20ºC cuando esta prendida que es algo mas aceptable en comparación a los 16º o máximo 18ºC que se llegaba con el anterior. Ahora falta corregir la temperatura con el led apagado, estoy pensando que haré. Esa será la principal dificultad de este cultivo. Si alguien tiene alguna recomendación será bien recibida!

After consulting with a few others working with this strain I have seen that they can have quite a stretch and given the time frame with my other project the time is here to switch to flower. So this is day one and when these photos were taken they had just woken up.

DE: In der sechsten Blütewoche erreichen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen ihren absoluten Höhepunkt – visuell, aromatisch und energetisch. Der erste Phäno zeigt sich in seiner vollen „Black Magic“-Pracht: ultra funky, tief dunkelgrün bis leicht violett schimmernd, mit unglaublich dichten, klebrigen Colas. Das Harzlevel ist enorm – selbst die Fächerblätter glitzern vor Trichomen. Sein Geruch ist intensiv, fast berauschend: eine Mischung aus schwerem Funk, süß-gassigen Noten und einer tiefen, dunklen Würze, die an die Black Magic-Eltern erinnert. Die Struktur ist kräftig und perfekt ausbalanciert, jede Blüte wirkt kompakt und voller Energie. Der zweite Phänotyp geht klar in die fruchtigere Richtung und zeigt deutliche Einflüsse der Zangria-Eltern. Die Buds sind etwas heller, dafür aber extrem aromatisch – ein süß-tropischer Duft nach Beeren, Trauben und leichter Zitrusfrische steigt bereits beim Vorbeigehen in die Nase. Optisch lässt er sich klar vom ersten Phäno unterscheiden: weniger dunkel, dafür mit leichten pink-lilafarbenen Einschlägen und sehr harmonischer Blütenstruktur. Auch hier ist die Harzproduktion auf Top-Niveau, aber der Gesamteindruck wirkt etwas „leichter“ und verspielter. Insgesamt ist die sechste Blütewoche ein absolutes Spektakel – der erste Phäno steht für pure Funky-Energie und Tiefe, während der zweite mit fruchtiger, lebendiger Süße glänzt. Beide repräsentieren perfekt die genetische Bandbreite von Last Dance: Power, Charakter und ein unverwechselbarer, komplexer Terpenausdruck. EN: In the sixth week of flowering, both Last Dance phenotypes are at their absolute peak – visually, aromatically, and energetically. The first pheno fully embraces its Black Magic heritage: ultra funky, dark green with a slight purple hue, and packed with insanely dense, sticky colas. The resin coverage is off the charts – even the fan leaves sparkle with trichomes. Its aroma is deep and intoxicating: heavy funk, sweet gas, and dark spicy notes that perfectly capture that Black Magic vibe. The structure is strong and balanced, every bud looking compact and full of energy. The second pheno clearly leans toward the fruitier Zangria side. Its buds are slightly brighter but bursting with aroma – sweet tropical notes of berries, grapes, and a hint of citrus freshness. Visually, it stands apart from the first pheno: less dark, with subtle pinkish-purple tones and a beautifully even flower structure. Resin production is also at its peak, but the overall impression feels lighter, more playful. Overall, week six is a real show – the first pheno embodies raw funky depth, while the second shines with juicy, fruity sweetness. Together, they capture the full Last Dance spectrum: power, personality, and a truly complex terpene expression.

The moisture in the soil after the first 3 days of transplant was wetter than I anticipated. I've been using a '3 gallon' flowering pot - separated evenly for all 10 of my clones - Gnats and flies have been coming so this I believed to be an indication that my soil is too wet I believe. The next following three weeks I am going to be doing about '1 1/2 gallons' per ALL 10 plants - seperated evenly. These last couple days i've been letting the plants soak up all the available moisture... Hoping maybe my overwatering will be affected in a positive way in regards to the new root formations. My PH coming out of my tap hose is around 7.8 - this is something i'd like to keep constant for this season if I can. I'm not seeing any sign of stress, discoloration, or anything yet. I understand ideally it would be smarter to lower it a couple numbers, however it makes it easier to not have to get a PH down and mix into my watering solution - DO YOU THINK THIS HIGH PH WILL AFFECT MY YIELD AND PLANTS LIFE EVENTUALLY ?!?! The plants are all looking healthy so far I think, let me know what you think cannabis fam!! Air quality very poor and smokey in California this week- 7/6/21

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.

🗓️ Veg – Week 4 complete (2 days late 😅) Nothing but good news this week: The 15L pots are already fully rooted after just one week – much faster than expected. The plants are looking healthy and full of energy 🌿 I’m still going very light on the nutrients – currently at about 50% of the Advanced Nutrients schedule. Still, they’re clearly starting to take in more – you can feel the momentum building 🚀 Regular LST has also paid off – the structure is opening up nicely, staying compact and well-exposed to light 🔧🌱 And here’s a major milestone to wrap up veg: I switched to 12/12 right at the beginning of Week 5 – flowering phase is officially on! 🌸
