July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

DAY 2 She's oh so slow to finish. Still more clear and cloudy than amber so i'll need to wait some more... I actually prefer the more amber type of high... I can wait... :) Maybe I'll need to feed her plain ph'd water one more time but let's see... Merry X-MAS to ALL! 👻 DAY 5 Wow... that was fast. She kinda turned amber in 2 days. The buds in the middle are now like a bit over-ripe, a lot of amber and the ones outside are just a little under-ripe. I'm done. No more waiting now. I thought about harversting only parts but I'm really done with this one. I'll leave her in the dark for 1 more day and then I'll chop her down. Luckily she's about to dry out completely so the drying process will work just fine... FINALLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 26 WEEKS MUAHAHA.... Next: back to autoflower... LOL!

after 10days in the 12/12 light cycle we lollipopped our plants a little bit. 3 days later we were shocked: the supa choopz was hermaphroditic...What an unfortunate thing considering the good genetics of zmoothiez. We sorted her out, luckily we still have a clone in reserve and he will now make use of the free space. The clone only had one week of veggie in the tent then it was sent into flowering, it has developed magnificently and is as big or bigger than the other ladies but unfortunately not quite as strong. We are still curious and hope for no further unpleasant surprises.

Dia 134 y semana 6 de floración,ultimo dia de vida de las plantas. Este año ha sido un poco raro las plantas han crecido como monstruos tuvieron un crecimiento espectacular un tallo muy grande y junto con sus ramas flexibles y muy resistentes. Pero al llegar el engorde de floración no se porque les falto el empujon final para hinchar el cogollo, tiene muy buena pinta , mucha resina y muy fuerte buen olor pero me esperaba mas en la fase final. Cortamos ya que tambien habian orugas y no terminaba de eliminarlas por completo, la semana que viene era entera de lluvias así que decidi cortar un poco mas temprano para poder prevenir cualquier mal mayor, hay mucha gente que le gusta cortar antes de tiempo ya que el efecto es muy diferente, este año probaremos que tal.

En esta etapa no agregue ningún nutriente a la solución para evitar que la planta tenga gusto al nutriente, así dicen los expertos que queman esta hierba. Yo lo hago solo por deporte, no porque lo fume. mantuve el ph en condiciones estables a como dictan los científicos en este rubro. la próxima😁 semana corto las plantas y las pongo a secar.

tem dias melhores tem dias piores, estão um pouco sensíveis, talvez muita agua na rega (1l) vou reduzir a ver se melhora. Algumas estiraram ate os 55/60 outras ficaram pelos 25/30 mas estão abertas já e com varios buds ao sol! :)

I'm thrilled to share another exciting update on my flourishing journey. We have now reached week 4 of the flowering phase, and I must say it has been an incredible period of growth and progress. The plants continue to stretch magnificently, and the onset of bud production has been truly remarkable. 🌿🌸🌱💪 As we progress through this crucial stage, I remain attentive to the well-being of my plants. They have developed a healthy thirst, consuming approximately 4 liters of water every 2 days. The pH level of the nutrient solution stands at a steady 6.11, ensuring optimal nutrient uptake. Furthermore, the TDS range between 1050 and 1150 provides the ideal nutrient balance. 💧⚖️📈 In light of the unfortunate hermaphroditism incident experienced by a fellow grower, I have been diligently checking my plants for any signs of similar issues. So far, I'm pleased to report that everything is progressing smoothly, and I haven't encountered any Bananas or seeds (it's hard to check the back sides). 🚫🍌🔍 That's it for this week! Happy growing, lads! 🌿🌱💚🌸

Opening 4th week blooming!! Since I levelled the EC, they are going so smoothly. Live and learning! Once they ate like a monster last time, I decided to increase 10% of the schedule, due last watering it was around 2.7. So I'll work with EC between 3.5 and 4.0 a they are consuming around 2.5-3.0 by 3 days. Removed some specific leafs covering other buds. Even didn't consider as a defoliation. Day 50 - 23/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~28°C ⏫💧~55% ⏫📏 45cm distância Mango Cream Watered with 3,5L RO water with 10+10ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.0 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.5 Strawberry Cola 1 Watered with 3,3L RO water with 10+10ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.2 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 4.6 Strawberry Cola 2 Watered with 3L RO water with 8+8ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.0 PH 6.0 EC Rum Off 3.7 Day 52 - 25/05/2025 Checking their trichomes, they started to become amber. So I'm supposing that we have more 2~3 weeks ahead. Their bulking phase are going so well and I'm starting to be anxious to harvest them. Day 53 - 26/05/2025 They are bulking very well and the interesting is both Strawberry Colas have different terpenes smelling out. The 1st has more gas terpenes and the 2nd has more citric terpenes. The Mango Cream, as base for Strawberry Cola, also have fruity and gas terpenes. The buds are pretty dense. Their structure are pretty tight and thick, with most of lower buds just fetching between the others, forming a unique bud for each stem. I'm pretty happy with their results. I'm expecting to harvest between 150 and 200g dry. Let's see in the next few weeks! 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~27°C 💧~55% 📏 45cm distância Mango Cream 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 11ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.1 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.4 Strawberry Cola 1 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 11ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.1 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.8 Strawberry Cola 2 3,5L RO water with 8+8ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.3 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.5 This week is working in progress and should be updated asap they growth. Cheers!🍁🤞🏽

This strain was a pleasure to grow! It was a strong, the most spectacular plant from the group. Always stepping up. The pheno was very resillient, growth was very fast and first pistils showed up after two weeks. Little neglected her when the stretch phase started - didn’t tie her down enough so she got a bit leggy (78cm tall) so there wasn’t really even canopy. And halfway through the flowering Magnesium deficiency or a lockout occured and never found a good solution to fix that. What Ive read Kushes need very large amounts of Ca&Mg during the flowering, and might be that 3:1 ratio of Ca:Mg had a synergism and decreased availability due the excess of other. Still managed to get some massive main colas. And can’t say enough how pleased I’m the colors! This plant growth was simply art.

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.
