Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

04/01/2023 - 56 days since my little girl sprouted from a seed Third week of bloom for my Banana 🍌🍌🍌 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - the girl responded well to the change in nutrients, so I continue to feed the same as last week when I adjusted the nutrients for flowering Jungle Environ X - bud stimulators 🌼 Bud Candy - bud stimulators 🌼 Atami - ATA Calmag - it is recommended to use Calmag when growing under LED lights I stopped the Hesi Root Complex - no longer recommended this week Training: LST: just a slight LST, I attached some small twigs with string to let more light shine on them 💡💡 Defoliation: I did more defoliation so that the leaves did not overshadow the already forming buds and the plant could breathe freely - Banana was not so leafy, but it still needed a good cut 🍃🍃 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000, the girls are doing amazing under this great light, I can see a big difference compared to my past results 💡💡💓 In general: The girl is very strong, she has a strong stem - trunk, that is the basis for a proper plant 🌴. It is a sativa, which is why it has the highest photoperiod in the tent. Buds are already forming at the ends of the twigs 🌸 and there are many branches 🌾. It resembles a small dense bush. I'm already proud of her 😇 Apology: Being sick I'm late with my diaries, for which I apologize 🤒🤒 The tent emits a soft scent that is mainly reminiscent of fruit, but it is a gentle whiff 🍇🍌 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

Día 86 (01/01/2024) Riego solo con H2O con pH ajustado 6,21 Día 87 (02/01/2024) Avanzando hacia la cosecha. Observo algunos tricomas ámbar 😁 Día 88 (03/01/2024) Al inspeccionar y tocar los cogollos, vuelven a salir los aromas a skunk y naranjas. Delicioso! 😍 Día 89 (04/01/2024) El aroma se está volviendo complejo en esta recta final, como naranjas, skunk y con toques picantes de fondo. Impresionante 😍 Día 90 (05/01/2024) Mañana la cosecha! Hoy le tocaría riego, pero como mañana es la cosecha, la dejo con 24 horas de estrés hídrico. Día 91 (06/01/2024) Al final cosecharé un día más tarde. Los tricomas están prácticamente perfectos, con la mayoría nublados y alguno ámbar Día 92 (07/01/2024) Día de la cosecha! 😍💥💨😁 Peso húmedo 150 Increíble rendimiento para 92 días desde semilla, y con el estrés hídrico de los dos últimos días Ahora comenzamos el proceso de secado (7-10 días) donde pondré la semana de la cosecha, y posterior curado (+30 días), tras lo que tendremos el informe de humo Gracias a todos los que estais al otro lado de este diario!

Estamos en las ultimas. Se ve que ya no quedan mas de unos 10 días (a la purple quizás un poco mas) pero dentro de todo ya esta finalizando el resultado. No es el mejor de todos, mucha asimetría, mucho problema y mucha irregularidad en el cultivo que dentro de todo hacia complicado saber de dónde pudo haberse generado el problema, pero aun asi algo de producción obtuvimos. Más allá de revisar la productividad de este cultivo, veremos qué tal la calidad de este.

First week of flowering is done and they started to stretch. Really nice to see how fast they grow now, every day i open the tent i could see the difference. So far so good, not much to say here. Hopefully the buds and the smell will change soon :)

This stuff packs a nice punch, one pheno showing off those cherry terps its 🔥🔥

Phénotype hermaphrodite je viens de trouver une 1ere fleur mal JeCroise les doigtsPour qUe J'en ai peu Phénotype coloré cool j'ai hâte de voir l'évolution !!!!!! merci a tous ceux qui sont passés !!! 👍 Watermelon Automatic: Meet the Offspring of Tropicanna Cookies and Lemon OG Our talented breeders wanted to create a strain that tickled the taste buds to the highest point. To achieve such a terpene profile, they selected two incredibly tasty parent varieties: Tropicanna Cookies and Lemon OG. These two varieties are full of limonene, myrcene and other fruity and earthy molecules. After back-cross and stabilization of these varieties over several generations, Watermelon Automatic appeared with a genetic composition of 75% indica, 20% sativa and 5% ruderalis. This fast autoflowering strain has managed to inherit the delicious terpenes of its ancestors. Growing Watermelon Automatic: A Real Delight On All Plans Watermelon Automatic has a fast life cycle that will deliver some rewarding yields. In addition, its compact and discreet nature allows growers to grow it in places with limited space or environments hidden outside. Indoor plants reach heights of 70—110 cm and if left to their own devices, they will form a broad central branch of heads. If subjected to low-stress trellising techniques, this variety will grow closer to the ground and form a more uniform and productive canopy. Expect a satisfactory harvest of 500 g/m² in just 8-9 weeks post-germination. Plants grown outdoors reach slightly higher heights of 90—120 cm and produce a respectable yield of 100 g/plant. They thrive well in containers, raised beds or directly in the ground. Watermelon Automatic's Aromas, Flavors and Effects: A Triple Threat on All Fronts Although compact and cute, its resinous buds have a heavy striking force. A 20% THC level will smash the body with a superb comforting indica effect that will soothe body, mind and soul. Average levels of CBD come into synergy with the psychotropic cannabinoid to balance the slightest shattering ounce. Take advantage of this strain in the evening to fully enjoy its enjoyable euphoria. By doing this, you will encounter a real armada of divine flavors and aromas from its superb terpene profile. Typical scents of watermelons come to mix with other tropical fruits and earthy notes sublimate an undeniably refreshing smoke. Watermelon Automatic data sheet Variety type: Auto flowering THC: 20 CBD: Medium Indoor Yield: 450 - 500 gr/m2 Outdoor Yield: 50 - 90 gr Indoor Height: 80 - 110 cm Outdoor Height: 100 - 120 cm Flowering Time: 6 - 7 Weeks Harvest Month: 8-9 Weeks after germination Origin & Breeding History: Tropicanna Cookies x Lemon OG Type: 20% Sativa, 75% Indica, 5% Ruderalis Effect: Calming Climate: Summer Long Taste: Fruity, Watermelon https://marshydro.eu/products/100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/collections/ts-series/products/ts-1000/

Short Video of the new week

The Harvest Prelude: After a patient wait and 48 hours of darkness, the moment arrived. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, standing proudly like a silent guardian, was ready for the grand harvest. The sound of each cut echoed through the grow space, reminiscent of felling a mighty tree. The compact structure of the buds was awe-inspiring, a testament to the ninja's disciplined growth. The Lego Ninja, like a stoic warrior, was then hung upside down, beginning a two-week drying ritual. Maintaining an ambient temperature of around 21°C and a relative humidity of 60%, this slow-drying process allowed the buds to retain their essence, preserving the symphony of terpenes and cannabinoids. The trimming phase unfolded like a fragrant masterpiece. Each bud, adorned with a glistening layer of resin, transformed the trimming process into a sensory delight. The zesty aroma of oranges enveloped the room, a tangible expression of the tropical lineage. The compact buds made every snip a careful dance, revealing an abundance of frosty trichomes. The moment of reckoning arrived with the scale's unveiling. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, from a single plant, bestowed upon me 309 grams of dried medicine. Each gram was a treasure trove of cannabinoids, a promise of euphoria and relief. The sheer compactness of the buds translated into a concentrated potency that left me in awe. In parallel, the clones, nurtured with equal care, showcased a fascinating divergence. A twist in the tale unfolded as the intense oranges of the mother transitioned into vibrant tangerines. This unique expression, I believe, was a testament to the clones weathering a summer heatwave differently, bringing forth a distinct personality. The clones, resilient and generous, gifted me a bountiful 549 grams of pure joy. This now my keeper of the garden, an embodiment of the Lego Ninja's legacy. The harvest dance, though familiar, carried the nuances of tangerine zest, a refreshing twist that left me eager to explore its intricacies. Both harvests shared a common thread—their resinous abundance. The trim bin, akin to a treasure chest, gleamed with golden trichomes and fragrant joy. Sticky fingers became a badge of honor, a tangible connection to the resinous richness that filled the room. Shout Outs: No harvest report is complete without expressions of gratitude. A special nod to @DutchPassion_Official for crafting the genetic marvel that is the Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja. Their expertise paved the way for this epic journey, and I tip my hat in acknowledgment. In conclusion: As the dust settles on this epic harvest saga, my heart brims with happiness and excitement. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja has proven itself not just as a plant but as a living masterpiece. Stay tuned for the smoke report, where we delve into the true essence of this botanical ninja's legacy. Until then, fellow cultivators, may your gardens flourish, and your harvests be as bountiful as the joy they bring.

Still learning day by day. Felt like I should back track a bit on the amount of nutes I have been feeding so I did almost cut my dosage in half for the past two watering. So far, so good. Training the girl on the right is a breeze (almost at the point where I would just let her be) but feel the need to keep training her to get down to the girl on the lefts height. Other than that, knock on wood, things are going well in my opinion! Another week or so of veg then it's time to flip! Can't wait!

A 2 días de la cosecha Llegando al tiempo de cosecha en su semana 12 desde semilla, olor muy diferentes a otros cultivos. Tricomas 70% lechosos 30% ámbar en las flores. Buena producción, ya veremos la cosecha.

Week 8 (17-3 to 23-3) 17-3 Temps: 17.4 to 21.9 degrees Humidity: 60% to 72% 18-3 Temps: 17.5 to 22.2 degrees Humidity: 54% to 65% 19-3 Temps: 17.9 to 22.4 degrees Humidity: 52% to 61% Watering: Both 500 ml. EC: 0.4 Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.4 Defoliated both plants and attached some shoots to the rack. She got really big fan leaves! I also supercropped some branches. 20-3 Temps: 18.2 to 22.8 degrees Humidity: 59% to 69% 21-3 Temps: 18.5 to 23.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. 22-3 Temps: 19.4 to 24.1 degrees Humidity: 55% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. Set the strength of the light to 50% 23-3 Temps: 19.8 to 24.8 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% Watering: Both 1000 ml. As you can see, instead of removing the leaves, i tucked down all the leaves to open up the canopy. I will see if i like this method as its the first time i try this. I also attached some more shoots to the rack, its looking nicely spread out now :) The #2 makes my fingers very sticky and smells really strong! I love it!

Die Kabul entwickelt sich prima 👌. Ich habe mir heute nochmal die unteren Blätter sowie die zu kleine Blüten vorgenommen und abgeschnitten. Ich möchte fette Mainbuds 😊! Ich hoffe, das haut auch hin. Aber was soll schon dagegen sprechen. Alles ist im „ grünen „ Bereich und das Mädel hat auch ordentlich Durst. Es ist immer wieder schön diesen Prozess zu verfolgen. Ich liebe es einfach. Bis die Tage ✌️

This week was particularly rough with the shock to the plants from overdosing on myco+ 3-0-3 Really instilled a sense of extra caution and at some level paranoia lol fortunately the plants have shown to be very resilient in their desire to Thrive and grow because a rain water flush worked like a dream
