Sweet dreams of a fat, chunky yeld!!😊🤩

Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early! I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary. She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable. I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked both seeds for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged roughly 24 hours later. 12/3- Today their tap roots were about 1/2 to 3/4" so at 11 am I transferred them into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened and the #2 isn't far behind! 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the #2 FBT #2206 and the second day for her sister! I'll keep them in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see their roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer them gently into their respective fabric pots. The #1 will be going into the 4g Gronest pot from FastBuds and the #2 will reside in a 3g pot by Wraxly, which I'm trying out for the first time. 12/7- Yesterday I checked the #1 tester and she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so I transferred her into her 4g Gronest pot. After making a hole in the medium for the peat pellet, I coated the entire surface with Xtreme Gardening Mycos then placed the pellet in the hole and planted her in. Lastly, I watered her in with about 4oz of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of FishShit added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 75℉ after which I placed a humidome over her for 24hrs to ensure that the humidity stays constant. The #2 tester is doing great and I'm confident that she should be ready to transfer into her fabric pot in the next couple of days! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Start Woche 3 Blüte Diese Woche darf sie noch ungestört wachsen. Ende der Woche wird sie dann für die restliche Blüte fertig gemacht. Heute gab's zudem wieder 4l Wasser mit 20ml/l Green Bull. Hier und da hat sie ein paar kleine Stellen (Schätze die Gründüngung + BioBloom gleichzeitig war etwas zu viel). Hält sich jedoch in Grenzen 👌🍀 Ansonsten sieht es eigtl. gut aus, bis auf das sie absolut nicht gleichmäßig wachsen will😉😉 Werte sind noch immer 1,1kpa Vpd bei ca. 800ppfd. Licht wird noch bis auf ca. 1000ppfd hochgedreht. Tag 18 Blüte Ab heute bekommt die gute 1000ppfd Licht, Vpd bleibt aktuell bei 1,1 - 1,2kpa. Ansonsten schaut es vielversprechend aus 🍒🍀

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

Following the plan, the girls are beautiful and were already quite big during this stretching phase. I hope everything continues as it is now during this growth and weight gain phase. For the rest, just wait for time to pass. 🌱🌿✌️✌️

Im still continuing the rest. Will update on the harvest this weekend

An in to soil she and her sister testers go, i know that for know everything looks the same , apart from the photos, but this will start changing with them growing. For now all of them are growing pretty much the same and now that they move in to soil and start feedings they will start showing the phenotype and genetic differences, but for now all looking great , healthy and strong af!!! Haded a intro video from seed in to now, including how i transplant and what i use wen doing it so, and from here the moon is no limit for this babes i believe , so stay tuned as this testers they promise to be a interesting ride <3 <3 <3 They are growing great , number 10 moving in to an indica side i think lets see As always thank you all for stoping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - Fast Buds Tester 08 09 10 11 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Día 20!!! Estamos en el punto de comienzo de la 4 semana de floración ! Esa en la que notamos como el cultivo nos da el cambio que queremos y a partir de los dos vemos como Nuestras flores evolucionan de una manera u otra dependiendo de clima,genética,nuestra mano con ella etc.. Vamos a comenzar la media floración bien cargados con la paleta de nutrientes alta en potasio y nitrógeno! Siempre añadiendo también,nuestras mañanas de agricultor. Tuve el fallo de abrir el tupper de lombrices y echarlas a el cultivo y no poderos grabar el proceso. Fue algo rápido que hice con el armario apagado..lo tuve que iluminar por un minuto para añadir la bola de lombrices unas 60!!! La siguiente tanda de flores si empezara a sacarle provecho a estas amigas!! Deciros que el cambio en altura es muy grande no para aún de crecer! Y las últimas están engordando mucho las flores a pesar de el corto periodo se ve que nuestra selección de amnesia haze,es un fenotipo muy especial.. Es de unas 8 semanas de floración y muy buena productora! Día 21 Primer día de la cuarta semana de floración tenemos una escalera Desde la puerta del armario hacia el fondo tenemos alturas que van 54cm/62cm/71cm/80cm Gracias a el control individual en altura de cada luminaria iré trabajando con el control de dividir el área en tres Alturas diferentes,así lo requiera cada planta. Una pequeña planta que está cerca de una rendija de ventilación tuvo unas pequeñas picaduras de tips”. Observaré si no es de un periodo anterior de antes del fumigado.. Si no es así trabajaré un poco de jabón potásico y ajo! De momento el olor es muy sutil. Algunas flores empiezan a producir resina de manera temprana. Dia 22 Va todo sobre ruedas,un verde lima en las hojas,las puntas tensas y bien firmes esperando el regado de mañana! Una humedad de un 55% en el armario,cerrándolo con un 59% una vez echo el seguimiento,inspecccion de este en el día de hoy. Seguimos con una semana de humedad en el exterior del 90% y toda una semana por delante de más lluvias. Seguiremos controlando la humedad como hasta ahora con los riegos. Guardo paciencia en las plantas que aún no llegaron a la red,para poder tener un control visual de todas las puntas! Me alegra ver la cantidad de flores que están produciendo por casi todas partes de la planta y la resina que empieza a producir alrededor de estas,es un gran fenotipo de amnesia haze,con gran rendimiento productivo de flores y resina. Todo un hacierto para quienes buscan genes de sativa bien marcados con un corto periodo de floración.

The Cookie Girls are doing great 😊 Overall, I’m very pleased with the results so far. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

This week the nutrition was reduced on the base and most of the additives. Only overdrive and bud factor X stayed at recommended dosage. The branches were readjusted to allow for light to reach lower nugs. Even though the pistils look brown and mostly curled in the tricomes are still clear... The run off last watering was extra high. A light flush with a week nute solution may be needed to correct this.

Cherry Limeade von Doja – Wochenupdate 🌱 Die Entwicklung der Buds schreitet weiterhin sehr gut voran 🌸. Sie legen sichtbar an Masse zu und insgesamt entwickelt sich die Cherry Limeade genau so, wie ich es mir zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Blüte wünsche. Auch beim Geruch hat sich wieder einiges getan 👃. Das zuvor sehr spritzige Limettenaroma ist mittlerweile etwas schwächer geworden. Dafür entwickelt sich das Terpenprofil zunehmend in eine angenehme Zitrusrichtung mit etwas Süße und Cremigkeit 🍋‍🍦. Genau diese Entwicklung gefällt mir sehr gut. Das erhoffte Kirscharoma ist allerdings leider weiterhin überhaupt nicht wahrnehmbar 🍒. Ich hoffe zwar immer noch, dass sich hier gegen Ende der Blüte noch etwas tut, langsam habe ich aber Zweifel, ob die Cherry Limeade tatsächlich noch in diese Richtung geht. Beim Tensiometer habe ich inzwischen einen weiteren Versuch nach den Angaben des Herstellers durchgeführt. Leider zeigt es auch diesmal nach einigen Tagen wieder deutlich trockenere Werte an, als ich aufgrund des tatsächlichen Zustands des Substrats erwarten würde 🤔. Ich habe inzwischen allerdings einen Verdacht, woran es liegen könnte. Mein Substrat enthält einen gewissen Kokosanteil, der bei der Herstellung der Suspension stark aufquillt. Wenn ich diese Suspension wie vorgesehen in das Loch einfülle und anschließend die Keramiksonde einsetze, scheint sich das Substrat beim anschließenden Rücktrocknen wieder etwas zusammenzuziehen. Dadurch könnte der direkte Kontakt zwischen Keramiksonde und Substrat schlechter werden und das Tensiometer anschließend zu trockene Werte anzeigen. Diese Woche werde ich deshalb noch einen letzten Versuch mit einer entsprechenden Anpassung durchführen 🔧. Danach werde ich das Thema für diesen Grow aber auch erst einmal abhaken. Ich kontrolliere den Wasserverbrauch der Pflanze ohnehin relativ regelmäßig und habe dadurch einen zusätzlichen praktischen Anhaltspunkt 💧. Aktuell liegt der Verbrauch bei etwa 1,8 Litern pro Tag, was für die Größe der Pflanze weiterhin sehr plausibel erscheint. Ab heute erhöhe ich den Ziel-VPD noch einmal leicht von 1,3 auf 1,4 kPa 📈. Ansonsten läuft der Grow inzwischen praktisch vollständig auf Autopilot 🤖. Alle drei bis vier Tage fülle ich den Wassertank wieder auf – viel mehr gibt es momentan nicht zu tun. Genau so soll es sein: Die Pflanze macht ihr Ding und ich versuche, möglichst wenig daran herumzuschrauben 😎🌱. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Stufe 6, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 28 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 61 % 📈 VPD: 1,3 kPa → 1,4 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 740 ppm 💦 Wasserverbrauch: ca. 1,8 l/Tag Cherry Limeade – Weekly Update 🌱 The buds are continuing to develop very well 🌸. They are visibly putting on more weight, and overall the Cherry Limeade is progressing exactly as I would hope at this stage of flower. The aroma has also changed quite a bit 👃. The very zesty lime aroma that dominated before has become a little less pronounced. In return, the terpene profile is developing more towards a pleasant citrus aroma with some sweetness and creaminess 🍋‍🍦. I really like this direction. Unfortunately, there is still absolutely no sign of the cherry aroma I was hoping for 🍒. I’m still hoping it might show up towards the end of flower, but I’m slowly starting to doubt whether this Cherry Limeade will actually develop much cherry character. I made another attempt with the tensiometer this week, once again following the manufacturer’s instructions. Unfortunately, after a few days it is again showing noticeably drier values than I would expect based on the actual condition of the substrate 🤔. However, I now have a theory about what might be causing it. My substrate contains some coco, which expands quite strongly when making the suspension. When I fill the suspension into the hole as recommended and then insert the ceramic probe, the substrate seems to shrink slightly again as it dries back. This could result in the ceramic probe losing some of its direct contact with the surrounding substrate, causing the tensiometer to indicate conditions that are actually drier than they really are. I’ll therefore make one final attempt this week, with a slight adjustment to the installation 🔧. After that, I’ll probably leave the issue alone for the rest of this grow. I regularly monitor the plant’s actual water consumption anyway, which gives me another useful practical reference point 💧. At the moment, the plant is using around 1.8 liters per day, which still seems very realistic for a plant of this size. Starting today, I’m also increasing the target VPD slightly from 1.3 to 1.4 kPa 📈. Apart from that, the grow is basically running on autopilot 🤖. Every three to four days I refill the water reservoir, and that’s pretty much all there is to do at the moment. And honestly, that’s exactly how I like it: the plant does its thing and I try not to mess with it too much 😎🌱. 📊 Current parameters: 💡 Light: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Level 6, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 28 °C 💧 Humidity: 61 % 📈 VPD: 1.3 kPa → 1.4 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 740 ppm 💦 Water consumption: approx. 1.8 L/day Wenn du möchtest, kann ich den nächsten Wochenkommentar wieder im exakt gleichen Stil fortführen und dabei nur die Veränderungen zur Vorwoche herausarbeiten.

Hat sehr viele Seitentriebe entwickelt🌱💪 mit Vielen Blüten, sehr fein👌🌱🍃

May 10, 2024 A new week and more flushing. Both ladies look really good. Tropicana C is way too heavy for her branches. It's good and bad. It's bad because they are flopping all over. And it shows how weak these tops are. It had to be my nutrient regimen. It's good because it shows the buds are dense and heavy. Tropicana Cookies has significantly stronger branches and can hold a lot of weight for the size of the buds. I could just be a tight fit with all the buds up and down each top. Who knows. They are starting to lean a little bit, but not too bad. Her buds are almost all purple top to bottom and the leaves are getting lighter and lighter throughout the plant. She's covered in trichomes. From what I can see, there's not nearly enough amber trichomes on the buds. Very soon though. I reactivated her wick system today. Her container was about half the weight as it was yesterday. Maybe now that it's not saturated anymore, the wick system will provide what it needs. We shall see later today I think. The lighting for some of this week will stay the same. I'm just waiting for the other 2 plants in the tent to start their flush. Then I'll drop the power down some. Most likely to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. We shall see. I'm also curious if it will actually do anything. They are autoflowers and light doesn't really mean much. Just as long as it's on and the right DLI, it should be fine, right? Anyway, I'll drop it when the flush starts anyway. I want to see what happens. The environment is looking a little better. The humidity is lower at 54%, but still way too high. At least it's below 60% finally. But 54% isn't much better. The temperature is pretty good at 76° during the day and 67° at night. I still can't get it down to 66° at night, so 67° will have to suffice. However, there is about a 10° difference between lights out and lights on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Watering day! Last watering of the grow. I'll let them dry out from now on. It should be like 4 days before they are dried out. Tropicana Cookies looks so close to being done. Her fade is spreading and I'm guessing another 3 days? Maybe less. There is so much more purple now. Ite absolutely beautiful. She definitely will need a trichome check daily. Tropicana C has started showing purple finally. I'd give her another 5 days, maybe a week. I honestly cannot tell. I'll check trichomes tomorrow and every day afterward. Her buds are definitely getting heavier and some even look fatter. She's definitely not quite ready, but super close. The light power will be dropped in a couple days down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Not much else for that. The environment is still kind of a mess. The temp is fine at 75°, but the humidity is still high at 55%. I even got the temp down to 66°. So that's good. I'd like to keep it there for the rest of the grow. I'll also try to drop the temp during the day to help bring out more color. It will also help with keeping the temp low during the drying period. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 53.6% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I ended up checking the trichomes anyway, and i think I know when they will be done. Just an estimate, but I think a good one. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies should be done in about 3 days while Tropicana C should take about 5 days. I may wait and harvest both at the same time. Or in between and harvest them in 4 days. Tropicana Cookies just needs more amber trichomes. They are almost all cloudy. Very few clear, but only about 5% amber. Tropicana C on the other hand, has a bit too many clear trichomes and no where near enough amber. 5 days should do it. 4 might be a little early, but that might be the only option. We shall see in 4 days. May 12, 2024 Not much going on today. Tropicana Cookies had a soaked bottom again, so I removed 1 of the wicks. So there should be about half the water going in now. She's definitely not thirsty. So very close. Anyway, she is fading quite nicely and I think she will have a whole bunch of beautiful colors. Lots of purple and some nicely fading fan leaves. Light greens, yellows a tiny bit of red. But not there yet. Tropicana C did not have a soaked bottom today. She never does. It just tells me she is still thirsty. Which also tells me she still has some time left. Maybe 4 to 5 days, but I may harvest her in 3 to 4 days. It all depends on how she looks. I got some trichome pics today. Just one for each plant, but they were the best I could get so there you have it. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies looks very close. More amber trichomes, more cloudy and much less clear. Tropicana C still has a bit too many clear, but definitely has more cloudy. Not too many amber, but more than yesterday. I still plan to drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d in a day or two. It won't really matter, but it's still important to note. It's for the other plants in the tent. The environment is a lost cause. I can still control the temp, but the humidity is still at 57%. I have the temp at 77°, but I think I'm going to drop it down to 74°. I don't think the humidity will go up with the temp change. And if it does, back up to 77°. I'll probably get the 74° mark, so all good. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much going on today. I checked trichomes and I think I'm going to harvest when Tropicana C is done. She should be done in a couple of days. Maybe 3 to 4? Maybe less? I'm supposed to be harvesting tomorrow, but I'm not sure I will. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow, but both are there. Just a little bit more. Not too much longer though. I have 4 more plants ready to come in like ASAP. Anyway, the trichomes on Tropicana C are mostly cloudy now, with a few clear and more amber. Maybe 8% to 10%. Just a bit more. Tropicana Cookies is a bit further with next to no clear trichomes and the same amber as her sister. Roughly 8% to 10%. She will definitely be done either tomorrow or the next day. So I think it makes more sense to focus mostly on Tropicana C for harvest time. I really don't want to harvest an indica too early. Not to mention, the purple is coming through really quickly for Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies has almost all purple buds. The very bottom of the plant still has mostly green with purple coming through just a bit. It's more like pink than purple. But the majority of the bud is green. These are the underdeveloped buds. Not even worth of popcorn I think. That stuff will become concentrate. The light intensity will be dropped tonight down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Kind of pointless for the last couple days, but it needs to be done. The environment is driving me crazy. I can keep the temp at 74°, but then the humidity goes up to 58%. Much too high. Even opening the tent door only drops the humidity down to 52%. I'm going to need to drop the humidity in my room down to 35% somehow and maybe I'll get below 50%. This is ridiculous. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Took a couple videos. The videos are kind of crappy. I hurt my back so I'm shaky. I removed the wick system completely from both plants. Tropicana Cookies was yet again soaked. Not as bad with just the one wick, but still soaked. Anyway, I pulled the wicks and emptied the reservoirs. Maybe that will help with the humidity. They should both be dried out in a few days. Just in time for harvest. Tropicana Cookies looks wonderful! Her buds are nearly black, with nearly black leaves. It's the darkest strain I've ever grown. Insane. She still has a day or 2 left to go. There's trichomes, but not enough. Hopefully 2 days will do it. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, a little bit of clear and not enough amber. Tropicana C is right behind her sister plant in the dark purple color. Her flowers and sugar leaves are getting super dark. Fan leaves are lights ing up, but not fading. I have a feeling she is going to need longer than I have been estimating. I also have a major issue with the side branches all around the plant. They are just laying down. Buds completely facing down. The branches are also super weak. I don't understand what happened. Back to trichomes. There's like 20% clear still and nowhere near enough amber. The lower light intensity doesn't seem to being doing anything, but I'm sure it's preserving the trichomes. Maybe even helping along the plants to finish up. The environment is still a nightmare. The temp is still fine, but the humidity is stuck at 60% again. The humidity in my room is higher than outside. I have the door open to help drop it, but it's not helping with the tent humidity. I have no idea how environmental science works. Lol. I wonder if I defoliate both plants a couple days early, what will happen. Wouldn't it put all of its energy into the buds and increase trichome production, like a last push? I'll research this and decided what to do by tonight. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing going on today. Both ladies are about halfway there before completely drying out. I'd say another 2 days. I was going to harvest tomorrow, but I checked the trichomes and they still aren't there yet. Plus, I think the other 4 waiting to get in the tent still have time to veg before they overwhelm their containers. One of them is very close, but I don't think she will be a problem in the next 2 days. Plus I can always train her down. Tropicana Cookies is starting to lean more. Her branches aren't quite falling over, but they are definitely getting weighed down. She seems to have basically stopped fading. Still a lot of green leaves, but each top is essentially all dark purple. So this may be it for fading. Now I can only wait for her to ripen up. Hopefully 2 more days. I really can't push it that much further. Tropicana C is still behind her sister by a bit. Not much, but enough for me to be concerned about harvesting them together in 2 days. I guess I'll see how the 4 other plants are doing in 2 days. Maybe I'll wait 3. Who knows at this point. It's been 7 weeks, so it should be any day. I think the light intensity is making the smell stronger. Less intense light is keeping the trichomes nice and plump and filling with cannabinoids. So maybe it was a great idea to drop he intensity. The environment is still kicking my ass. I can't get the humidity to drop below 60% and now I don't have much control over the temp It's stuck at 73°. Not bad for this stage, but it's killing the VPD. It needs to be at like 1.5 kPa, but it's at 1.00 kPa. Super bad. No good. The night temp is still too high. The average last night was 69.1°. Much too warm for night temps. Maybe that's what is taking Tropicana C to turn purple. She's getting there definitely and should be the same color as her sister. They are the same phenotype after all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 16, 2024 The final day of the week and I think I need to harvest these 2 tomorrow. The 4 Sour Diesels I have in my 2x2 tent are starting to get bigger and will need more space very soon. Not to mention, they are in my 2x2 tent I use for drying. Tropicana Cookies is basically done. I didn't check her trichomes today, but all the buds top to bottom are purple. Lighter purple in the lowers, but those are popcorn and larf, so I'm not so worried. She also seems to have stopped fading. She's nearly dried out now. Probably tomorrow right when I need to harvest. Tropicana C on the other hand has her trichomes looked at today. Made a video and took a pic from it. Anyway, the trichomes are much more cloudy now and maybe 7% amber. She should go a few more days, but I still have the dilemma of the other plants. I guess it all depends on how they look tomorrow I guess. She hasn't started fading yet, but more purple is showing up everyday. That's another reason I think she could go a few more days. She still hasn't even begun to fade. She's about half dry, but if I have to, I'll add a half gallon of plain water tomorrow to see if she fades at all. I may have to harvest Tropicana Cookies tomorrow and then Tropicana C a few days later. I should be able to fit 4 more 3 gallon containers in the 3x3 with just the one plant gone. It'll be tight and I'll need to Tetris the shit out of it, but I think I can manage. One thing I haven't thought about until now is drying itself. If I have to harvest separately, the 2 to 3 day difference will mess up the dry for the first one harvested. I think? Maybe not. I have a plan. Instead of hanging them next to each other, I'm going to hang them on top of each other. So the first will be Tropicana Cookies on top and later in Tropicana C on the bottom. Theoretically, with this setup, I could control the humidity a bit better. When Tropicana Cookies is nearly done and needs the extra humidity for that even dry, Tropicana C will have brought it back in and I should be able to hold it around 60% for the rest of the drying time for both plants. Lighting doesn't matter anymore. It's served it's purpose and I could technically take one out now for a 2 day dark period before harvest. But if anything, I'll wait for tomorrow. I honestly didn't think about the dark period until now. Haha. Whoops. That may just solve problem entirely. I don't have to wait for harvest time. My other plants won't get too big and I can put them in the 3x3 more comfortably. I can also harvest both plants at the same time. Or, if I have room, I can place Tropicana C in the dry tent on the bottom while Tropicana Cookies gets hung up. I don't think there's enough space though. Anyway, I think the best course of action is to put Tropicana Cookies in the dry tent for a 2 day dark period and harvest both when Tropicana C is ready. Then I can see if there's a difference between lights all the way to harvest or dark for 2 days. Fun! The environment is the bane of my existence. The new dehumidifier is definitely stronger than the old one and more compact. I even left the old one in there as well. Both running at the same time can only drop the humidity to a solid 60%, but my room is 63% and I can't do anything about it. I also have the tent completely sealed off. I think it's helping to keep the humidity from climbing to 65% or 70%. I have the temp up a bit to 76° and 77°. Just to help a smidge with the DLI. The only thing I have an advantage with is my ari flow and spread canopy. There's 2 fans blowing around air and the exhaust. It should help prevent mold or bud rot, but with such high humidity for days, I can only imagine something bad is happening. Maybe not bud rot or mold, but the chemical composition of the buds? I dunno. I haven't learned that much. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa

En esta semana toco limpieza de bajos

This soil is very good , a transplant is needed. It's seems as if it grows great in the sun..

Questa è la prima settimana di fioritura per le 2 FF e direi che vanno alla grande! Sia la Gorilla Cookies che la Purple Lemonade si stanno dimostrando ottimi fenotipi e sono sicuro che produrranno ottimi boccioli, il super soil di dogma organics da alle piante tutto quello di cui hanno bisogno e io mi devo solo preoccupare di riempire i secchi di acqua e lasciare che il cloro si depositi sul fondo…questo è tutto per questa settimana, ci vediamo alla 2º di fioritura.

Todo resultó bien, pero hubo una semilla que a pesar de que germinó de manera exitosa no logró enraizar correctamente. Quedando con 14 semillas de 15 en total seguimos ...
