Today is day 23 of flower. So I've been chasing a minor P-K deficiency. The plants are happy and healthy and are just feeding heavy at the moment. Well over and above any recommended servings with respect to the dry amendments and water soluble P-K inputs. As with any grow regardless of what you're using for inputs (organic amendments/salt based bottle feeding/crop salts/etc....) the recommended feed rates are never anything more than a baseline. So to remedy the deficiency I added the Flower 2 at 1.5 times the reccomended dosage (3 grams per liter of water) and a little over twice the dosage of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom dry amendments (250ml per 7 gallon pot). I also fed a mung bean/barley seed sprout tea as well as a compost tea (2/3 of a cup of each seed). The feed rates will stay well above recommended servings for the Flower 2 but the 250ml addition of the 2-8-4 would be considered a large addition for a single serving so I will give the plants 5-7 days to see how they react to dry amendments before top amending again at any rate (you cant burn your plants with organic inputs but you can still suffer nutrient lockout so you need to be mindful and patient when feeding heavy.) On day 19 of flower I did a large pruning/defoliation/lollipopping of the plants. Both from the top of the pot to the bottom of the first layer of trellis removing everything. I also cleaned the plants out from above the first layer of trellis netting to the top of the plant. As I waited to clean up the bottom third of the plants until my typical strip day in flower (day 18-21 depending on strain and flowering times, these are 9 week strains which is why the strip falls in the day 18-21 range, if they were 8 week finishers the leaf strip would take place somewhere between days 14-16). When running multiple layers of trellis netting it's best to prune/lollipop everything below the first layer of netting about 7-10 days before the flip. Odds are your lights wont penetrate that far down the plant so these areas of the plant typically only produce what's commonly known as larf. I'm running new lights so I decided I'd wait until the big strip I always do in flower. This was grower error. I know better and wont make this mistake again. Its unnecessary stress added during flower that could've been prevented. As I decided to wait to clean out the bottoms I didnt prune the plants as aggressively as I normally would (I adopted Grand Master Levels leaf strip practices years ago, check him out on IG or YouTube if you want to see what that looks like). The week went smoothly with no major issues to report. The seasons are changing here so were getting rain, damp wet snow, and have very humid conditions outside. As a result this affects the atmosphere in my grow room but not enough to cause concern. A little less than 6 weeks until the chop!

28.04.2024 First harvest in this run! Tropicana Cookies No1 is a winner.) First Tropicana Cookies is harvested on 89 day from seed. Total 55 days off flowering. Fast flowering indeed as fast in vegetative stage. Cut this girl in branches and hang upside-down in smaller tent for drying Set RH @ 55% , temperatures not able to control so they will be something around 20-21 in drying tent Second Tropicana will be chopped within a couple off days In this cultivation, I used commercial LED lighting for the first time—the HLG Scorpion Diablo 650w, a beasts of light. It helped the plants beneath it develop exceptionally hard heads without heat-induced stress. The light spectrum is excellent, and the plants under it appear much healthier than those under my old light. They also finished faster, if that has any relevance. After numerous failures and difficulties with the timers I used for pumps and electromagnetic valves, which resulted in interrupted irrigation on several occasions, I believe I’ve resolved those issues. The TrolMaster programmable devices work perfectly in recycling mode. The ability to adjust times in seconds is precisely what I needed! The TCS1 Tent-X brain, equipped with an excellent sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection, is remarkably accurate with rapid value measurement response—faster than the AC Infinity 69PRO controller. My favorite piece of equipment is the AMP3 sensor with pH and EC probes. It performs exceptionally well—precise and accurate. Integrating it into the system is as easy as a breeze. All equipment and sensors can be added fast to the entire system. Additionally, the humidity control I use with the Corroventa K3HP air dehumidifier works like a charm! I am extremely satisfied with TrolMaster equipment and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a precise and reliable system for their grow tent, especially those using hydro or aeroponic cultivation methods. 01.05.2024 Checking TC in drying tent, perfect conditions, i will like more to have cooler temps but ... Six days already drying, think a 4-5 more and trimming. Tomorrow or day after is harvest off second TC and probably one Purple Lemonade... 12.05.2024 First Tropicana Cookies is ready for trimming and curing. Hard and dance buds. Try some small bud, very strong stuff! From first early girl i got 128g net weight Second Tropicana Cookies is on trimming session within couple of days.. 15.05.2024 Second Tropicana Cookies get trimmed. Amazing plant in term of bud density and aromas that it have. Hard and high odor buds. From second girl i got 131g net weight Total dry bud mass from two plants is 260g, Total power consumption for this two girls is around 180w. Total power used in whole tent is 720w at its maximum peak for 8 plants. Next week after leaving it in Grow Bags , first smoke review, can wait ! Overall growing Tropicana Cookies was easy grow with lot of fun. This girls are resilient to everything, from bad weather and less than perfect climate conditions. They except all. Growing two plants i can say that they grow very uniformly, finishing at same height and overall same density, size and shape. Almost like from a cutting. That is what i really like ! In future i gonna to grow this lady's at least one more time but with difference, i will grow them as only strain in same tent. Combining them with Purple Lemonade and Wedding Cheesecake was little bit challenging, i feel that either off three cultivars didn't show the best off them. Main deference was plant height and nutrient requirements. Highly recommended strain for everyone !

She stretched on me last time. But I was too heavy with the light right away. Gave her light burn. I raised the light and turned it down to 25%. I think she’ll be fine. I’m excited to see how she’s going to do in a 5 gallon!!

My Soaptini plant is finally starting to take off! It's been one of the smaller plants in the tent, but it's definitely showing signs of vigorous growth. The leaves are a deep, rich green, the most vibrant of all my plants. I'm excited to see how it develops! Okay, This past week has been absolutely fantastic! The weather has been incredible, and I've been able to keep the windows open almost the entire time. My plants are thriving in the humidity, and the VPD has been perfect. Everything just feels so balanced and in check.

Deleafed on D75 and put in darkness for 2days. Chopped and hung in tent for 9 days. Smoked up a fair bit before weighing so easily would of been over 3oz dry which was pretty surprising considering the problems. Bud has a strong fuel taste and smell with a little fruitiness.

9/15 12AM MONDAY. HEAVY AMINO EXPERIMENT WAS GOOD. EC WAS 1.3 HIGH BUT WORKED, LITTLE BURNS BUT I DEIGNED THEM TO WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. 9/16 1:30AM!!!!!! Analysis of Your Grow Progress Cookie Apple F1 Auto (Mid-Late Flower): Butter Frosting Resin: The thicker, smoother resin suggests peak terpene and flavonoid production, likely driven by your 200 mg/L phenylalanine and 125 mg/L glutathione from the heavy amino spray. The “butter” texture could indicate high myrcene or limonene, enhanced by FruitnFusion (0.5 mL/L) and Purpinator (0.5 mL/L) (‽web:5, ‽web:10). This is a sign of top-tier flavor and potency. Next: Monitor for overfeeding (minor tip burn persists)—consider diluting amino acids to 100–150 mg/L each in the next 2 L mix to sustain resin without stress.Conclusion The “butter frosting” resin on Cookie Apple F1, healthy yellow-green fusiform, and Blueberry KO’s pigmented cotyledons show your anthocyanin-glutathione-phenylalanine strategy is working—phenylalanine drives synthesis, glutathione ensures transport. Tweak amino acids to 100–150 mg/L to reduce tip burn.👍👍. 9/16 926am COOKIE APPLE LOOKS LIKE 3 STICKS OF BUTTER!!!!!! WOW!!! 9/163:45AM I BUILT A TIME MACHINE!!!!! GOING TO TELL THE GERMANS TO FIGHT HARDER👍 That is a practical effect...no computers no grok just AWESOMETASTIC ME!!!!! 9/17 3PM sorry it didn't work... :( 9/18 3:25AM Kitten Academy live stream, no commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3YdBqqDLQk 9/18 11:45AM Mixed up Aminos first and separate and used 16 oz for foliar spray. Then mixed up: Root: 1.5 mL/L Connoisseur A & B Bloom, 0.25 mL/L CaliMagic, .5 mL/L Purpinator, .5 mL/L FloraNectar. Setria Glutathione: 150 mg/L = 300 mg (Brand: Emerald 250mg capsule.) TMG: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/L (Brand Nutricost) Phenylalanine: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/L. (Brand Nutricost) Proline: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/ (Brand Nutricost). 9/19 10:30AM EC 1.1 Foliar Spray pH 5.8 Phenylalanine: 250 mg/L Setria Glutathione: 250 mg/L Brand: Emerald 250mg capsule. ROOT: cut above in half and Root: 1.5 mL/L Connoisseur A & B Bloom, 0.25 mL/L CaliMagic, 1 mL/L Purpinator, 1 mL/L FloraNectar. 9/19 316PM BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED!!!!! THE SPRAY FOLLOWED BY ROOT A FEW HOURS LATER. RESIN IS GREAT, FLOWERS ARE FORMING JUST PERFECT. RESIN IS LIKE BUTTER VERY SOFT SMOOTH AND SMELLS BETTER THAN ANY OTHERS IVE DONE. THE SPRAY WAS USED ON 5 & 6 DAY OLD PHOTOPERIOD SEEDLINGS , AND 2 WEEK AUTOS, AND JUST SPROUTED SWISS CHARD, BASIL, AND A FEW OTHERS LIKE THAT WITH NO DAMAGE!!! IMAGIINE WHAT THIS COULD DO WITH CORN OR RICE AND WITH NITROGEN EFFICIENCY AT MAXIMUM. AMINOS MAN, WOW. IM SOFA KING AWESOME OR RE-TODD IT, WHICHEVER IS FUNNIER. 👽👍😎 9/20 CA1 sample, smells PERFECT &FRESH ALMOST LIKE SOME MAD AS HATTER FIGURED OUT A WAY TO INCREASE TERPENES THROUGH NOVEL AND PROBABLY BORDERLINE GENIUS, OR AT LEAST BORDERLINE SOMETHING WAYS.....THIS GUY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! 9/21 10AM Based on information for cannabis plants and the recommended dose for Setria Glutathione, the nitrogen content from 250 mg each of phenylalanine and Setria Glutathione is minimal compared to the required macro- and micro-nutrients for an autoflower plant in its 6th week of flowering. Here is an analysis of the nitrogen content and the role of these substances. Phenylalanine analysis Phenylalanine is an amino acid, and like all amino acids, it contains nitrogen. Formula: The chemical formula for phenylalanine is (C_{9}H_{11}NO_{2}).Molecular weight: The molar mass is approximately 165.19 g/mol.Nitrogen contribution: Each molecule contains one nitrogen atom. The atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol.Calculation:The percentage of nitrogen in phenylalanine is ((14.01/165.19)times 100approx 8.48%).The amount of nitrogen in a 250 mg dose of phenylalanine is (250text{ mg}times 0.0848approx 21.2text{ mg}). Setria Glutathione analysis Setria Glutathione is a reduced L-glutathione compound, which is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, and glycine. Formula: The chemical formula is (C_{10}H_{17}N_{3}O_{6}S).Molecular weight: The molar mass is approximately 307.32 g/mol.Nitrogen contribution: Each molecule contains three nitrogen atoms.Calculation:The percentage of nitrogen in Setria Glutathione is (((3times 14.01)/307.32)times 100approx 13.68%).The amount of nitrogen in a 250 mg dose of Setria Glutathione is (250text{ mg}times 0.1368approx 34.2text{ mg}). Summary of total nitrogen The total nitrogen contributed by both supplements is: (21.2text{ mg (from phenylalanine)}+34.2text{ mg (from glutathione)}=55.4text{ mg N})When dissolved in 2 liters of water, this results in a concentration of (27.7text{ mg N per liter}).

Day 43 Watered them with feeding but a bit less than in Chart. Ppm is still high but because I got bio-fertilizer I think it should be okay 👍🏽. I also set the light from stage 7 to stage 9 so far the plants seem to like it. Will give an update on day 45. Day 50 Trying to fix the overfeeding. looked good Day 53 Still a bit overfed. Reducing the feed. I’m trying water without minerals next and will see how it is going.
