Beginning of week 8: Tropicana is 24 cm high and the stem is 36 cm long. She is a legal frosty angel (10 degrees last night) growing on a rotten balcony in a small town in germany. Day 50 🌥️☁️☁️ 10-19 degrees, humidity 78% I noticed that the soil has sunk. It moved downstairs, between the drainage I guess. New pots problem. Got my compost, summer will be long and there will be a second round for sure. So I prepared bigger pottery pots, maybe 15 liter, which will be ready for seeds in about a month or two. Tropicana needs rainwater now, some sunny hours during the day. That’s all. I like how she develops. Day 51 ☁️🌨️☁️☁️☁️🌦️🌈 14-19 degrees and humidity is around 77%. I gave Tropicana too much nitrogen. Spotted some signs and stop with fertilizers for now. It‘s ok but the comfrey manure had more nitrogen than I expected. In the next days we‘ll have a lot of rain, so Tropicanas soil will be washed and this will solve the problem maybe. It‘s a big difference to grow cannabis in a pot then veggies in the ground in a no dig garden with yearly compost mulching. My Tomatoes in ground loved this 1:5 comfrey manure breakfast but for Tropicana less would have been more. Maybe 1:15 or 1:10. It always depends on the raw material for the liquid manure. This year we had a lot of rain and the comfrey had maybe more nitrogen as usually. Day 52 🌥️🌤️🌦️🌤️ 13 - 19 degrees and the humidity is 69%. Tropicana had about 0.8 Liter pure rainwater today. It was raining the whole night. Day 53 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 13-17 degrees, humidity is around 90%. Me and Tropicana have a rest. We chill with a tasty vape on the balcony while doing nothing more then chill. Day 54 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 13-18 degrees, humidity is around 93%. Saturday, time for cleaning the balcony and take some fotos of my flowers. Her smell is getting much more intensiv. I see that the color of the buds is getting diverse. The soil is moist from the rain. Day 55 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-18 degrees, humidity is falling, now 69%. Tropicana spend the day chilling with her friends on the balcony. They talked about the weather and what to do in the next week. Day 56 ⛅️🌤️☀️🍉 12-24 degrees, humidity is around 78% Tropicana had a sunbath for hours. I bought a cheap magnifying glass today and I‘m so happy with this one. It have 30x / 60x lenses and two LEDs. I found it in a shop for mycologists. I‘m crazy about mushroom hunting. Normal mushrooms, yes. So this is absolutely relaxing viewing the structure of fruits, my homemade soil, little insects living inside. Actually this was a tip out of a blog article of Fast Buds Tropicana Cookies week by week guide, which I can highly recommend. I gave Tropicana in the morning a 1:20 field horsetail tee, ~ 0,7 liter in three steps. 100-200-400 milliliters. She was drinking it till sunset. The pot got lighter till evening, around half a kilo or maybe more.

01/15/19 Day 15 Week 3 #3 is doing the best. shes starting to branch out alittle. Gonna keep on pushing.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 28 Just a quick update for this morning since I had to move the ties a little. LST, I now have them above the 3rd node branches. Stats are normal and the growth tips are turning upward now. Stats 73F/ 63% RH /IL Vent at 33% - Lights also same as before 345ppfd highest, 330 center, and 315 at lowest. No need for adjustment. She seems to be taking the training well. Day 29 Water day - checked last night and decided it was time again - Water by weight again so no runoff to measure at about 4 cups. (4 days since last feed by weight) 13lbs even par is 15lbs 4oz so I prepared 2lbs 4oz of water. Tested my meter and discovered it needed calibration (the temp is off and cant be calibrated - so I used a trusty meat thermometer. started with 4ppm and added 300ppm of epsom and vegmix ph balanced to 6.34 at 69.8F - then splashed with H2O2. Poured around roots and splashed the stem base - sprayed some on the leaves and use the whole amount. Had to adjust lights now to be brighter so I brought them down to 18.5" and ppfd is now 375highest 360 center and 345 at lowest. VPD is normal at 1.0 with 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - fans are pointed to directly now as the leaves are starting to get rough feeling - so I moved them a bit to blow less directly Training is doing good nice upward turn on the training (making small LST movements with the ties other than than... just letting it make new branches. Day 30 Checked PH and got 5.0 on my meter(+1.25 tested differential = 6.25) Stats normal too - 73F /64% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights at 385highest 370 center and 355 at lowest Removed cross ties since they are no longer needed to hold the fan leaves- training still looking nice as the new nodes are formed with 2nd node leaves growing already. Day 31 Identified an issue this morning - went back through my pictures, identified the start, looked at the day before, and noted my changes that I took notes on at that time. Went to google to diagnose a few possible hypothesis and am now testing with a treatment. (suggestions from more experienced growers welcome) This morning the issue was brown spots on the older fan leaves. Mostly just the left fan leaf. Seems to have started 2 days ago (day 29) when I changed the lights and fed her. When I fed her, I left water droplets on the leaves instead of drying them off after a short time (I had been drying them with a tissue after a wet pic. The fans were also adjusted after the lights were dropped closer as well. Hypothesis: I think the water was magnifying the light and caused light stress at the those spots. I dont think the wind of the fan had much to do with it other than they helped dry the leaves faster as noted by the water being completely gone by the time I took pictures later that night for measurements. Test: Raised my lights to a max of 350ppfd (from 385 highest reading this morning) Had to adjust fans again since they rest on my lights. Will observe looking for improvement over the next few days. ... another possibility was given to me by Guru @Roberts (thank you) as it possibly being a ph issue locking out calcium. So I thought I might test ph and then try diluted cal/mag in a spray if my soil is too low (also looked at pics and seen VERY close similarities in my pics and those) and so on that advice, I tested/calibrated my soil meter (it FINALLY calibrated for me!)I found my soil was avg of 3 readings at 5.153 (5.08,5.09,and 5.29) NOT GOOD - potentially locking out most all nutes. I weighed out about 2 cups of purified water with and added about half ml of CalMag, ph balanced the water to 6.5 at 69.7F (my research shows Calcium lockout starting at 6.3 or lower) and splashed with H2O2 - I poured most around the base and sprayed the leaves too. I made sure to use the whole solution by pouring the last of the solution in the spray bottle over the stem and stem base. EOD follow-up Found a possible calcium blockade in my ph and on my leaves (of which are now starting to curl so I placed my fans on oscillate to ensure they aren't doing more damage) --- fully documented now. otherwise measurements are now documented too. -- second node is starting to pull away from the last top so I will be looking to top again (3rd of possibly 4 total) and then HST and bind in a new spot Day 32 Doing a morning and evening check her now while I see this issue resolved. So far no sign of improvement since last night - might have gotten worse in comparison (will check pics side by side today) but I think because it's a immobile micronutrient so it should take time to stop then reverse. So in the mean time I am doing a slurry test as a 2nd test for my soil before I treat it. I took soil from 3 different spots and made sure I got some from about 4 inches deep in each spot (ensured calibrations were still good with buffer tests) 1st test is a PH meter tested directly in the soil. After using the 2 cups of 6.3 yesterday I got 3 readings today = 5.47, 5.32, and 5.5 to avg 5.43 - (yesterday's readings prior to treatment were 5.08, 5.09, and 5.29 to avg 5.153) - still far below the normal 6 to 7 for soil and the requirement of 6.3 and above for calcium to enter roots. suggesting again lockout. So while I am checking the plant conditions I also looked at the new nodes - 2nd node is starting to pull away from the first, but not quite enough to top yet - thinking I will be able to top tomorrow evening - should be able to correct the ph tonight, so I can see if there's results in that by then as well. I also set the fans to oscillate last night, so here's a video for that now. Measurements, ppfd, and vpd will be in tonight's check-up Day 32 So I started this evening by testing the run off with 2 meters, 5.7 and 5.67 - prepared 1 gallon of 7.5 ph water and splashed with H2O2 (checked with both meters) Before flushing, I documented the leaves again - still curled and look very dry but they still have some flexibility with them - they dont seem to getting any worse so the spray may have gotten enough to the leaves most affected. The new nodes and growth tips seem to be okay but not growing as fast as they were. That would still mean that the soil needs treatment before the roots begin to die off and I end up with stunted growth overall. SO I flushed the whole gallon and noted the runoff from the sides and bottom. I then tested the soil directly with 3 readings 5.95, 5.8, and 5.73 for avg 5.826 and tested the runoff water with 2 separate meters for 5.91 and 5.85 Not sure if I should feed dunk in 7.5 still or just use that number on the next feed in like 3 or 4 days. will discuss Other than that ppfd highest is 360, 350 at center, and 330 at lowest. VPD was 1.0 with temp at 74F /63% RH /33% IL Vent Growth tips could be ready to top again tomorrow night, but I would like the get the ph taken care of first. Day 33 Started the day by noticing the lower branches seem to stop turning and the next level branches seemed to have finally turned but nearly as fast as the first. (Noticed them having a start yesterday) Newer branches dont have any signs of issues. So the plan today is to make Bloom Juice for later. Feed Dunk with 100% Veg Juice at a ph of 7.3 test runoff and ppm. Top the 4 nodes and remove the lower leaves. Calcium issue or not, that was always the plan with main-linning the plant. However, because of the health issues, I dont think I am going to go past these 8 colas - rather instead I will simply stop here and do some HST to set them how I want them to grow and let her recover and finish her veg for about two or three weeks. Dunk had 300ppm of Epsom, Veg juice, in a little over 3 gallons of purified water. I had 7.4 ph and splashed with h2o2. I pushed the entire plant into the water and soaked for a few seconds. Drained by hanging the pot up for about 10 minutes and the stream started dripping instead. Checked the runoff with 2 meters 6.01 and 5.93 with 2580ppm. Then I topped all four nodes and removed the fan leaves from under my mainline. I used LST to finger press the new branches apart into the direction I plan to move them to get the nodes powering up. Next I will wait for a day to do HST on those new branches. Tonight I will simply let her rest. VPD still at 1.0 - 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights are at 365 highest, 355 center, and 335 lowest. No need to measure for growth now as I dont plan to top anymore Day 34 Early entry to day for HST the morning after topping. So I started off the morning checking stats and health. PH levels are still low. 3 soil meter tests 5.41, 5.41, and 5.44 for an avg of 5.42 - kinda at a loss here but can only monitor now. VPD and lights are mostly the same - 74F /63% RH / 33% IL Vent - VPD not relevant today as the settings are the same and I am using HST to change the plant position. leaves are noted for future reference - all four lower fan leaves have signs of calcium deficiency but not progressing nearly as fast as the first two did, so I think my attempts via higher ph water and feed may have helped. (I know the microbes in the soil are supposed to help get past ph issues , but mine seem to not be heathy) HST used a cuticle rod from my wife's nail case and a paint stick to press the rod against the branches and smash the inside of the elbows I want to bend. LST I then cut 4 strips of garden wire at the same length, hooked the ends like candy canes and aligned them about 1/2 inch above the new node and into the soil. From the side they look level but have the leaves now facing sideways. They will turn in a day or two.

What a fantastic week. Very impressed with the progress of the ladies. Still no nutes added to the Plagron soil mix, will probably start them on a light dosage of the Top Crop auto feed in the next few days if they look like they're calling for it. Wedding Cheesecake particularly vigorous. Amazingly, one of the Orange sherbert is popping pistils and all four smell surprisingly strongly of orange sweets at only 14 days old!! Can't wait for the next week.

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

Day 35 Diese Woche war im Verhältnis zu den vorherigen ganz ok. Von Woche 4-5 mit dem vegegativen Wachstum zufrieden. Die Seitentriebe kommen endlich etwas mehr zum Vorschein. Ich denke aber das die Ernte klein ausfällt da ich es einfach in den ersten 2 Wochen verkackt habe! Die Vorblüte ist gekommen und es wird demnächst das Licht auf 400 Watt NDL geändert . Die Ladies haben nun auch etas mehr Hunger was gut ist 😁. Ich habe Sie in dieser Woche zum ersten mal mit Drain durchgegossen, das haben Sie gemocht. Die Klimabedingungen waren wie schon die letzten Wochen super. Peace

91 days!!! This week, I gave the girl 2 waterings with biobizz nutrients, it also rains and receives rainwater:) I don't know how it will be with this project, according to the plan there should have been a harvest already, because it is an auto strain, I am going on vacation in August for 3 weeks so I don't know if she will survive, the other project participant has already given a harvest and this one doesn't even bloom, and the planting day is the same:) !!!.

Pollen will be arriving soon, it is pumping lots of sacks out this week, buds are fattening and smell is increasing with sugar on the buds.. not really any issues.

I cannot wait for the harvest to begin… dam… this plant is doing the thing that make the pots to be done[South African Phrase], she has shot up, during my absence it’s like it was getting watered with nutrients and water mixture, and all she was getting was water. next week hopefully I’ll find the measuring tape and measure the height of this beautiful plant, my eyes cannot believe my labour, it’s fruits are becoming unbelievable, I hope that the bud is going to be big and juicy, I want to nothing but to smoke the best.

Day 35 - All still growing very strong, both plants that aren’t being mainlined are very short & bushy but have a lot of bud sights! This strain has taken very well to mainlining as well, the double mainline is up to 8 tops now and doing great! Thank you to everyone for following & make sure to check back for daily updates! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱

Her pistils are changing colour now. Maybe a couple of weeks left?? Still doing her thing. 💪

This big beautiful girl Purple Goat Cheese from Goat Genetics has been such an amazing grow so far she is so stinky an sticky an I love it smelling of straight sourness she is getting her last week of nutrients before flush an then harvest an I can't wait

Week 20/5 - 26/5 Final days!

For the first time I cut the leaves, for more extensive illumination of the upper part, due to the close location of the light of the plant, the trunk trunk grows and does not stretch upwards, I want to cover the entire area of ??the pot with one layer then start the flowering stage at 6-7 weeks I didn’t cut the leaves, but simply pressed them to the ground, since this is my first experience, I think that everything is going well, the plant eats a lot of nutrient fertilizers and looks good as you can see, the temperature in the box exceeds 27 degrees and it seems to her that temper tsya. in many of the moments, I would like to express a special thanks to such a cool grower like ctm_dzagi! Looking at his works of past cycles, I learned a lot and continue to learn, his technique and approach is great! Well, we are waiting for the fifth week)) Let's go!

The colours are popping! I’ve started to taper off the nutrients, I don’t typically “flush” the plants, but rather taper nutrients down until I have been able to give straight phd water for the last 3-4 feeds, making sure to water until I get about 5-10% runoff. I’ve tried both methods , the other being that I pour like 10 gallons of water through the plant, and I can’t tell the difference with my smoke, still clean and very tasty. I did a small defoliation at the end of the week, and added a support pole for the 1 lady in the far back, she was already starting to lean… just a couple of weeks to go !

Week 4 in the books. They've suffered a lil nute burn or whatever it seems to be but all good for the moment. Ive LST'D these babies. I've given them their concoction of lotus nutrients , superthrive, fish shit, cal mag and stash blend.

Really sublime strain released the day of the harvest. Casually, means a lot for me… is still not test #2 but Sticky Broccoli. What e Epic Name. Please notice the long shape i’m a tall guy and take a look to me next this baby. There are loves that are destined to be brief but intense and loves that are destined to last forever. Sticky Broccoli is one of those things I have done that I will hardly forget in my life, when I am old and have superpowers for all the THC smoked, I will tell the story of these monsters. ATTENTION: I have divided the harvests of the two plants because they are widely documented by many photos so as to give you greater possibility of distinction. The other plant is entirely published in the week before the harvest. They were born in the ideal period, I told my boss also favored by the moon, in an ideal super tropical place comparable to California in terms of climate, they ate Plagron the best that the market can offer in terms of organic fertilization and they grew in a newly bought organic soil that was not recycled. The conditions were really all there but we still went beyond all expectations. From the first moment they stood out for being the fastest, voracious with a metabolism at full blast always thanks to the Plagron additives and these impressive genetics. We remember the excellent parents Sticky beast and Green Crack as heritage I would say not bad at all. I let them vegetate a bit too much or rather 4/5 weeks are not that much but while the others have remained almost normal plants these have broken through. I say broken through because the main cola of the tallest was pushing decisively on the roof of the 220 cm growbox. Truly animalistic the few friends who saw it have widened their eyes. A Wonder or rather two. The main cola is standing by miracle but it is very big and very full of very very resinous grass. This harvest of 23 plants all Zamnesia has proved surprising from many aspects, an exaggerated quantity of grass, autoflowering that have touched 100 grams and all above 50 always very little mold and probably because I too much hold of some paints. But the thing that literally amazed me, because unfortunately these days we have to be amazed by this too, ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. Let's think carefully about what we do guys when we plant, we never put seeds found in the grass and we plant seeds from breeders who work well. Zamnesia is distinguishing itself guys I'm here and I'll prove it to you if you have any questions or doubts please write to me for anything. Released to the public today 23/12/2024 remember this name: Sticky Broccoli, there is also an auto version like almost all Zamnesia strains and I promise you that it will become a masterpiece soon. Everyone will want a seed, I don't like to do Nostradamus, I recognize quality. Zamnesia Strain Description // Our breeders love to challenge themselves to develop cutting-edge varieties and Sticky Broccoli is a perfect example of their mastery. Combining high-yielding genetics like Sticky Beast with pungent Green Crack has resulted in a 90% indica strain that is extremely tasty and has 23% THC. Inside the grow room, the plants perform excellently. Growers will appreciate the high yields and the extraordinary beauty of the buds: fragrant, vibrant and glistening with resin.
