The growing cycle it self worked out as expected, except that the pH-level was way off from where it should be, and I found out a bit too late. Because of this the outcome of the harvest didn't say much about the potential of this strain, but as soon as I got enough time and space, she will get a new chance to shine. 2018-03-01. This is my review / smoke report of this lovely cbd flower. There are rock hard buds and almost no give at all, even in those smaller buds. When you grind it the scent will appear more than just smelling on the buds. It smells a little weak of grass, wood, bark, sweet, lemon, honey, skunk and some kind of spice. The taste is orange, mandarin, honey, bark, popcorn and pepper. The effect is directly, the thc feeling above the eyes and in the forehead, it fells like its a higher thc levels in this strain compered to the cbd strains i tried before. A little light ringing in the ears and a slight dry mouth. After 10 minutes, the cbd kicks in and and balance the thc high. The neck and shoulders begin to relax and the feeling continues down over the back and chest down to the stomach. A calming, relaxing, and slightly energetic feeling. After 15-20 minutes it is down in the legs and feet, and you can feel a vibrating feeling in your muscles, joints in a pleasant way. It reduces my tense muscles and some of the nervpain i got. Its a good strain for releasing stress and get you in a relaxed and satisfied mood. It is a very well-balanced strain and it fits in all sorts of contexts. If you take this in the morning or mid day it will give you a small energy boost and get you in the mood for doing something. I think this is a lovely strain and I highly recommend it to everyone but especially for more inexperienced people that dont like the high thc strains and want to have a good relaxant, pain controlling, anti depressant medication that also can give energy or help with getting to sleep. This is a must try strain.

This week went by fast! They're growing really fast and always hungry! They're getting ready for the flower stage and entering Bloom. They're getting 2L of H20 per day that's pH at 6.8. I water 2x a day! I turn them on at 6am and give them 1L of H20 at 9am that way they're awake and 1L of H2O at 9pm that way they're split. I feed my nutrients at the 9am watering. I pH my nutrient mix somewhere between 5.8 and 6.2. I also have amended the soil with Soil Recharge and that's once a week as well as the Fish Shit and The Stash Blend. Then, I always flush with only pH H20 the day after any nutrient mix. Overall, the plants are healthy and I'm waiting to see how they turn out!

🇺🇸 Grow Journal – Week 12 | Pineapple Upside Down (Veg) Week 12 of veg — the Pineapple Upside Down is cruising steady and looking stronger than ever. I’ve been letting her just do her thing, focusing on recovery and structure before deciding if I’ll top her later. At this stage, it’s all about patience and letting her build up natural vigor. Nutrient-wise, still running the Athena Blended line, holding the mix at EC 1.4. I’ve been experimenting with Athena Balance, and I have to say — it’s impressive. My base water pH usually fluctuates between 6.3 and 6.8, depending on the day. I add 1 ml of Balance, which actually brings it up close to pH 9.3. Once the nutrients are mixed in, the solution drops back down to around pH 7–7.2, and from there I fine-tune it with a touch of pH Down to land right around 6.0–6.1. I allow a gentle drift down to 5.8, but whenever it hits that mark, I bump it back up slightly to keep things steady around 6.1–6.2. Honestly, Athena keeps the reservoir incredibly clean — crystal clear every time. It’s one of those small details that really makes a difference when you’re running hydro long-term. Temperatures are holding around 22–23°C, with humidity between 70 and 75%, which keeps the environment perfect for steady vegetative growth. She’s lush, healthy, and just waiting for her turn in the flower tent — if I had more space, she’d probably be flipping already. That’s about it for this week — nothing flashy, just solid progress and patience. Can’t wait to see how she performs once she hits flower. Thanks for following along, growers — see you next week! ✌️🌿

What up fam, weekly update on these gorgeous girls. They're showing preflowers now which I'm definitely happy as that means the stretch is almost over. I did add a 2nd scrog net its 6ft high. Over all I couldn't be happier with how they've grown. Happy Growing.

🌱 Wieder mal einen schönen Sonntag & zweiten Advent für die, die es betrifft 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche war wieder bisschen was los… leider =D Ich versuche wieder alles so transparent wie möglich zu machen 😊 Zu Beginn habe ich meine Lösung wie gewohnt manuell mit hochwertigen Apera-Messinstrumenten kontrolliert angemischt und behandelt. Das lief auch immer perfekt, bis es leicht überhand genommen hat 😅 Ich habe locker 7-mal am Tag gemessen und dementsprechend anschließend gereinigt… Nach ein wenig Überlegen habe ich mich dann schließlich doch für einen Bluelab Guardian entschieden. Anfangs wollte ich nicht so viel in reinen Komfort investieren, aber mir persönlich wurde es einfach zu viel, weil ich zu oft wissen möchte, was los ist =D Letzte Woche hatte ich ja bereits erwähnt, dass ich den Stretch-Peak anhand der EC- und pH-Kurven bestimmen konnte. Das lief schon alles über den Bluelab. Da ich wirklich gerne datenbasierte Entscheidungen treffe, habe ich ab diesem Moment weiter fleißig runtertrainiert und die Werte beobachtet um den richtigen Zeitpunkt zum sortieren zu erwischen . Der Trend war dann aber erst mal, dass sie einfach wie verrückt weiterziehen 😄 Am 4. Tag bei diesem Messverhalten wäre es fast passiert… Der Uptake hat über eine Dunkelphase so dermaßen zugenommen, dass ich es mir nicht mehr erklären konnte (Peak-Messung × 2,5). Fakt war aber: Das Reservoir war von den Werten her wirklich in einen kritischen Bereich gerutscht und ich wollte das ändern. Warum das so war, dachte ich mir: kann ich auch später klären… schließlich haben die Ladys Hunger =D Also habe ich wie immer 30 L Top-Up berechnet, gemischt und auf etwa 4,30 mS/cm eingestellt, damit ich die niedrigen RESS-Werte wieder nach oben bekomme. Zum Glück habe ich auch meine Momente, man mag’s nicht glauben 😄 Ich habe random beim Abpumpen mal den Drain gemessen, weil es mir keine Ruhe gelassen hat – und siehe da: 1,9 mS/cm. Die Sonde hatte sich über die Wochen ordentlich in einen Wurzelballen geschoben und dadurch zwar konstante Werte geliefert, aber eben in einer Wurzel-Biozone und nicht im freien Draftwasser. Das klingt erst mal nicht dramatisch , aber wenn mir das nicht aufgefallen wäre, hätten die Damen rund 24 h in einem hochtoxischen Bereich gestanden… Das wären sicher ein Ordentlicher stepback gewesen... Und natürlich passiert das Ganze in einer Phase, in der ich ihnen so wenig Stress wie möglich machen möchte 😄 Ich habe jetzt aus grobem Filterschwamm kleine „Hüllen“ gebaut, die aktuell ihren Dienst tun und die Wurzeln fernhalten. Drain-Messen ist ab jetzt auf jeden Fall SOP 😄 Da der Guardian erst während des Runs eingezogen ist, konnte ich ihn leider nicht ordentlich verbauen.. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Zur Sicherheit gehe ich wieder Back to Basics und trainiere so lange weiter, bis der Rebound-Stretch sichtbar nachlässt 😊 Das sollte jetzt die Tage geschehen. Den nächsten Run gestalte ich hier definitiv anders 😄 Ich brauch doch meine Werte fürs Timing… Anschließend nur noch die Meshes bestücken, langsam am Klima schrauben – und wachsen lassen 😊 ⚙️ System Bis auf die Panne mit der Sonde läuft das System nach wie vor perfekt. Am Vorgehen mit berechneten, gezielten Lösungen hat sich nichts geändert 😊 800 PPFD 1,0 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt 💚 Special Mention Da geht auf jeden Fall was 😄 Ich glaube, an dem Punkt kann man echt davon sprechen, dass sie durch ist. Sie ist nicht ganz so gut entwickelt wie ihre Schwestern – aber trotzdem eine sehr vitale Pflanze, die sich echt zurückgekämpft hat 😄💚 Danke fürs Lesen und eine schöne Woche euch 😊!

Day 21 : I had planned to do a 21 day defol and strip her out to encourage her to grow below more but in retrospect , this is not in her interest while she is working the buds . The transfer of energy needed to regrow what I take out will be pointless as she isn't tight for space at all. The height has been kept down well with the LST and supercropping which has allowed the strongest secondaries to become the vertical mains. I am going to be taking some lower scrap out and won't be letting half assed buds take her energy to create popcorn. She has gulped the feeds down with no issues at all and shows signs of being a good yielder. Her budlets are fairly loose structures at present but her node lengths are ripe for joined up big Cola's. She isn't smelling of anything yet and at 21 days I am pleased with her progression. nice chunky stems and plenty of mains. be safe and sane Growmies

They are looking real good. I think I may have gotten some nutrients on one plants leaves and it caused some yellowing and leaf curl, I’m hoping it straightens out.

Once again GALACTIC buds! And once again cant add the comment lol

So letzte Woche wurden die Ladys nur noch mit Wasser gegossen, diese Woche auch und dann geht’s zum trockenen 🥦✌️

HUGE shoutout to Paul at New420GuySeeds for sending me these new 3 Run Homer test seeds to try out! I am extremely excited to see how this grow goes & to make it even more interesting there are currently no diary’s with this strain on GD! Everyone go check out their website & get some for yourself! I will be back tomorrow with day 1 pics when I get them planted! Keep watching & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🤙🏼🌱 Day 1 - Everything is going great all 3 seeds popped!👍🏼 Finally got them planted & watered with Fox Farm Big Bloom (6tsp per gallon) Day 2 - I can see all 3 seeds starting to come up we are off to a great start👍🏼✌️🏼 Gave them a little more water this morning with big bloom, grow babies grow! Day 3 - Everything is going great!🙏🏼 Day 4 - All 3 are growing strong👍🏼 Day 5 - PH water 6.4 Day 6 - end of week 1, everything is looking good✌️🏼🌱

Did some defoliation, they grow fast and bushy since switched to flowering and increased bloom, happy with the results and the strain so far.

So, they’re still growing vertically, again, I had to go away for 3 days. Not planned. Tops got too close and a load of them burnt to a crisp, the seriously burnt ones have been cut off and the other ones that weren’t too bad have been bent down. It was 14 inches when the plant was flipped, I reckon she would be around 48 inches now if I didn’t have to hack at her. But disappointed as I reckon she would have been a beauty. But... life goes on and I’m sure she will yield alright when the time comes 4ish weeks time. Literally the only problem this week has been vertical space, plant itself is very healthy. Next time I better get a taller tent 🤦‍♂️

19.12. 5 Tropicana Cookies Auto Samen eingepflanzt. VPD auf 0,9 (ist ja eine Haube über den seeds) LED auf 25% (37,5W) —————————————————————— 24.12. Alle 5 gekeimt. Eine brauch aber noch ein bisschen. VPD auf 0,7 (ohne Haube) LED auf 50% (75W) ——————-

Hello everyone, The girls are finally outside in 20 gallon fabric pots. This season I have a greenhouse for them and I hope it goes good. Still have to build the first cages around them and start stretching them. 🎊🎉 finally, summer is here 🎉🎊 See you guys next week 🤞🤞🤘🤘👊👊👊

Not sure what more I can say that I didn’t say above. Patience, patience,patience! Veg longer with LED because they won’t stretch as much as you anticipate. They are very forgiving to a point and my nutes were organic until the end when I used kool bloom!to increase yield and made them a little unhappy. Cheers to dinafem for the best of the best when it comes to genetics!00

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are in day 25 and as you can see, this girl is thriving! I've been a little heavy handed with the training, but i'm putting her to the ultimate test 💪 😎 .. i think it's a problem I have.I can't keep my hands off my ladies 😜 .. Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron thank you both for making this contest possible. I know I really appreciate it. And i'm sure many others do as well.. to everyone in the contest. God bless and good luck to everyone in the contest and to everyone else, God bless good luck and happy growing ✌️. Day 26: today we did some more LST and she is officially split and has handled everything well .. also have a new friend in the tent protecting my girls .. Happy growing ✌️

It’s warming up outside so the a/c and dehumidifier are working a bit. Got the lights on during the night so just a few hours at lights on they work a bit hard. Cleaned up underneath removing any sucker shoots and leaf that was near the soil. Not much really. Mostly on #3 as I didn’t train out the branches as much and she grew tighter together, so I removed mostly all inner growth blocking light and that allowed a lot more penetration and flow. Left a few leaves below to die off naturally…more the better. Gonna put some Grub Grenades in the pots with some yellow sticky cards. Not because I see anything, just being cautious. I do see what looks like Springtails but don’t seem to be an issue yet. Still looking green and healthy so I’m happy! Grow on! Update Made a few adjustments. I let the tops grow into the tsw2000, 18” to tops. I didn’t like how they looked so I raised it back to 24” where I’ll keep it. The “Kind LED” I know from previous grows that it can’t get closer then 24”. But this is my first run with “Mars” so I’m still figuring out the distance for my setup with additional overlapping light intensity from other lights. With that being said another pod failed so I’m down 2-Kind LED’s now. Gonna remove all old tech and use all newer TS series lighting. All Mars moving forward. Seems to be a great light and when compared to other quality lights you can’t beat the price!
