June 7: Tropicana Cookies is growing quickly after the late start. Should be a good strong plant. June 9: warm today and she’s ready for the first topping to build the manifold. See video. Tip: spray hose water on the leaves to compensate for the low relative humidity during the daytime. Plants grow much better in the dry air when their leaves get wet. Maybe a couple times a day. Makes a big difference. June 10: wildfire smoke is back but not as bad as in 2023. At least not here, and not yet. Tropicana Cookies FF growing fast after being topped yesterday. This is going to be a very good plant, I’m sure.

*english version below* **HydroLab – Blüte Woche 1: Der Stretch entfesselt & der Teppich lebt** Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, dem einzigen Ort, an dem Pflanzen schneller wachsen als meine Stromrechnung. Die 12/12-Umstellung liegt nun offiziell sieben Tage zurück – und die Damen haben das Memo verstanden. Der Stretch? Vollgas. Der angekündigte „Kräuterteppich“? Er ist da. Und er rollt sich gerade selbst aus. 🌿🔥 Systemstatus: Wissenschaftlicher Wahnsinn in Zahlen EC: stabil auf 1.5 Wasser: Vollentsalzt, nur noch 0.05 EC – so sauber, dass es vermutlich als „Destillat Light“ durchgeht CalMag: jetzt Pflicht! Leitungswasser war nett, aber wir gehen jetzt pro pH: von 5.8 hochdriftend bis 6.2, dann korrigiere ich Klima: kalt draußen → warm im Labor dank Luftentfeuchter + 130W IR-Heizung (Nachtschicht-Modus) Operation „Wurzel-Schutzschild“ Die Netpots haben ein Upgrade bekommen: Alufolie-Abdeckung! Nicht hübsch, aber verhindert sicher, dass irgendwo Licht in die Root-Zone kommt. (Hydrolab-Regel Nr. 18: Wenn’s reflektiert, funktioniert’s. 🤓) Pflanzenverhalten: Unkontrollierte vertikale Energie Ich habe in dieser Woche nichts geschnitten und die Mädels einfach machen lassen. Ergebnis: 🔬 Hypothese: „Sie werden etwas wachsen.“ 🔬 Ergebnis: Sie sind komplett durchgedreht. Der Stretch ist massiv, die Tops schießen überall nach oben, die Mitte wird dichter, und die ersten Blütenansätze zeigen sich bereits in voller, flauschiger Pracht. Die Mykos arbeiten im Untergrund weiter wie ein italienischer Straßenbau-Trupp auf Koffein: die Wurzeln sind dick, cremefarben und gesund. Labor-Kommentar Manchmal muss ein Wissenschaftler lernen, loszulassen. Und manchmal heißt das: „Ich lass sie einfach eine Woche wild wachsen und schaue später, was weg muss.“ Genau diese Methode wenden wir hier an. Aktuell sieht alles brutal vital, extrem dicht und herrlich chaotisch aus – genau wie ein Sativa-Scrog aussehen muss, bevor der Dompteur eingreift. Ausblick Nächste Woche geht’s ans Feintuning im Netz, am Lollipop wird nachjustiert und Bud Blood sollte sein Zauberwerk tun, damit sich das Ganze bald in ein Meer aus weißen Härchen verwandelt. Bis dahin: Das HydroLab beobachtet, misst, lacht – und füttert. 🌱⚗️😄 _________________________________________________________ **HydroLab – Bloom Week 1: Stretch Protocol Activated** Welcome back to the HydroLab, where the plants grow faster than my ability to explain what’s going on, and where chaos is considered a valid research method. The flip to 12/12 was seven days ago — and the ladies took that as a personal challenge. The stretch? Immediate and aggressive. The “herbal carpet” I predicted last week? Fully deployed. 🌡️ System Diagnostics EC: holding steady at 1.5 Water: ultra-clean, 0.05 EC from the deionization unit CalMag: now part of the baseline (unlike with tap water) pH: adjusted to 5.8, drifting naturally up to 6.2 before correction Climate: cold nights outside → warm enough inside thanks to a 130W IR heater + dehumidifier tag-team 🛡️ Root Protection Protocol I covered the pot tops with aluminum foil — not pretty, but absolutely effective at blocking any stray light from entering the root zone. HydroLab Law #7: If it looks improvised but works perfectly, it’s not a bug — it’s a feature. 🌱 **Plant Behavior Report: Unrestricted Vertical Ambition** This week I didn’t cut anything… And the plants responded with: “Okay, we’ll take over now.” The stretch is in full swing, tops are pushing upward everywhere, and the first flower sites are forming beautifully. The canopy is dense, lively, and wild — exactly what a sativa-leaning scrog looks like right before it becomes a jungle. Roots? A fluffy, creamy, active masterpiece. The mycorrhiza is clearly having the time of its life. 🔬 Researcher’s Note Sometimes science requires intervention. Other times… science requires stepping back, folding your arms, and whispering: “Let’s see what happens if I just don’t touch anything this week.” This was one of those weeks. And honestly? The system handled it better than expected. 🔭 Next Week’s Outlook canopy refinement begins lollipopping adjustments Bud Blood should fully kick in floral development expected to accelerate Until then: The HydroLab observes. The HydroLab measures. The HydroLab feeds. And the HydroLab cackles quietly in the corner. 🌿⚗️😄

2022-10-21 Easy going with the "Sugarskull-Project" The next Days aim going to start to feed, because the Plant grows strong and she shows some Need for N Both Plants doing fine into their Vessels Iam still having trouble to upload Videos, iam not sure if you can load them website for for my Fertilisers: https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ Code: mrs_larimar Breeder Info: 👉Black Sugar is an indica dominant hybrid of Black Domina, L. A. OG and Critical. It has kept the medicinal properties of L. A OG, a good flowering rate on the Black Domina lineage, and the compact size of the classic Critical strain. With its small growth, the strain produces large yields of up to 600gr/m2 on bushy branches. The buds are very dense and stinky. Black Sugar has a high THC level. The variety has a fruity citrus aroma. Dense smoke gives the effect of relaxation and body buzz. Good for Smoking before going to bed. It can become one of your favorite Seedsman strain Genetics Black Domina x L.A OG x Critical Harvest 450 - 500 g/m² Flowering 50 - 55 days THC 20.0% CBD 1.0%

Day 15 - wow, this plant is growing better than ever! a. this plant is growing at the rate of my last Pineapple Express Auto by Fastbuds b. the indica traits though, are really nice with the wide leaves c. humidity has been a little lower than I want, but we have had some impressive rain to compensate Day 16 - more growth, many many roots in the pool a. there are about 3 good root clusters into the pool, they are making nice ladder roots b. the DWC is running well, with temps almost 30 outside, the DWC is staying 22, ph 5.8, 440 ppm. c. installed the CO2 generator, a Banana Bomber, 1KG sugar, 3 tsp yeast, 2 mashed up bananas, 5L warm water. Day 17 - she is growing a. the CO2 generator is generating CO2 already, this time I ground up the bananas like baby food. b. adjusted the ventilation a little to maintain 27-28 degrees in the tent Day 18 - growing well a. i have to keep reminding myself that just 18 days ago this was a dry seed in a packet. b. many roots in the pool, there are a few very large roots about to bust through the netpot Day 19 - growing well a. smooth and steady growth, temperatures in tent are 28 in the day, and around 23 in its 4hrs of darkness, humidity is always 60+, and we are getting alot of rain to help with that. b. noticing growth all over, this plant is growing a bit different than my others, it seems that in the past ive had mostly sativa leaning auto hybrids. Day 20 - many BIG roots hitting the pool a. there are about 25 huge root tips hitting the pool right now, there are already about 10 root clusters in there, but these roots are much thicker b. like the breeder says, week 3 this will take off, totally accurate Day 21 - growth everywhere a. the stem is becoming much thicker, the symmetry of the plant is beautiful, really liking the wide leaves b. next week she will take off like a rocket c. the CO2 bomber, as usual, is generating CO2 very well

Day 50. Gorillas goes by plan, Cookies is still a pain every time i see them ... Control garden will go to green house on day 54, rest of girls will get 24 hours of darkness and will be forced to flower .. Nothing good to be said, but i will try to feed them, hope nitrogen toxicity wont kick in ... Both strains are overfed very easy, cookies are overfed without food even ... ;))) Lets see .. Happy growing ! p.s. my old phones mic is broken, so put volume down while watching video ;))) Day 52. Girls were very hungry, so heavy feed and rain for them. Lights where dimed to 50% while leaves had water on them. Some Cookies started to stretch, inner node distance is huge, maybe i will have second time only in my life hermie.... Anyway, hope to switch them by day 55. This grow i cant get girls to pray, its always somthing, growing is really hard sometimes .. Good luck everyone ! Happy Easter ! Day 53. Girls sometimes looks ok, but still far ftom i have used to .. Couple more days of veg. CalMag next watering, still have some redish stemps.. Control garden will be moved to green house, too small, let them veg under natural sun, while those will finish ..

Alot of trial and error on this gal and shes fast to spring back, resilient to a lot-- hot res temps, training, etc. beautiful plant and genetics!

7/13/25 - 7/16/25 Flipped as another strain is gonna be a problem otherwise. Very stumpy and thicc lady, already smells very funky and rotten. Now we wait and see what emerges in flower. 7/17/25 - 7/19/25 One hungry girl, she is on 100% feed rn. And god she stinks, really gives u burning nostrils. I know copycat is a sensitive topic in the breeder world but he knows his shit. I am abaolutely going to get more of his shit.

Do you see that SWAMPMONSTER in the corner of the tent there ?? The Queen towers above the canopy and the rest of the plants lol. It's really interesting from using the Smart Proteins, i think how they work is that the plant is able to process them and compensate any kind of slight deficiency which means that each plant that gets the proteins is able to grow to it's maximum potential and at the same time grow to its **individual** potential... that's why each of these plants has so much "character", because if you look closely it's less a question of phenotype but more like "individual expression".... INTERESTING !!! Anyway that's about the visual... my main concern about these is how loud they f-ing smell !!! ITS PROBLEMATIC, so be conscious of that if you plant to grow these one day ! REALLY REALLY LOUD, honestly there should be an additional category on GD like "problematic" which is beyond the "strong smell" category. I have two large carbon filters on two 1330m3/h fans and it's a problem. Hope you understand how unusual that is for a plant in veg lol... I think the smart protein probably affects how strong the plants smell because all the plants seem more smelly than expected... TBH i'll fix the smell issue but hopefully it's a good sign and an indicator of the quality i can expect by harvest time? These also got two rounds of defoliation , and i flipped them to flower like 4 days ago. This was an exciting veg to me, but now is when it gets interesting, let's see how beautiful these flowers are !! Test genetics always have that little bit of mystery to them right? By the way, I'm often visiting this site, so drop me a message about whatever, especially if you have advice ! Thanks for following along with me, i appreciate it really ! ITS FLOWER TIME FOLKS LETS SEE! 🚀

Day 28. First signs of preflower. Day 31. Continuing with general Hydroponics maxigro every other watering.

Easy trim✂️ Harvest in 2 times first the top buds then the lower! No popcorn 🍿 The smell is delicious cookie & lemon 🍋 🍪 The buds are extremely dense 🤩 See you in 2025 for the smoke report Take care 💜 Baxter loves you🕺🏽

Nothing to really say this week.

She is now putting on weight - and still going tall! She looks like she has a while to go before harvest but she is doing magnificently. Little to no deficiencies!

Greetings This week I switched to 12/12, switched to the base for flowering

🥫Starting to feed. ✌️🎃Thank you for checking my cultivation.

Cosa dire di questo strain ...... una pianta di colore rosa mai visto 😇 vedi il mio ultimo diario... tutto bene fin'ora...

Still flowering 🤣

Producing steadily, slight smell. This pheno is strong and fast growing. Not as susceptible to light burn as the sister pheno. Also more productive, and managed to top itself as a seedling without any help. Will keep this strain forever. I absolutely love it! Happy growing 💚🌱
