Transplant successful and my babies are thriving, even braved the cold this week, however we are not out the woods yet, I think not having a fan is hindering my plants, conditions are favourable for my babies, let me not stress, I will make a plan, sacrifices must be done… for the greater good. The positive is my grow medium mix looks like it was well balanced, I need to buy 20 bags this time, and add it to my veggie patches, and I will not be defoliating anyone this month, fan leaves’ green colour is lovely and uniform, she is happy with her diet, and you will see the uniform green colour on all these ladies, except for Monday’s Blue she had a lot of nutrients in the beginning, but all is bright and right.

Hi everyone 🤗. The last 5 women are nearing their end 😍. They will be harvested in the next 2-3 weeks. The rest of the ones that have already been harvested are currently fermenting 😍. The finished harvest pictures come when everyone is finished together 👍. This ends the last diary that was kept with several varieties. From now on only single strain diaries are coming, all individually ;-). I wish you a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

📆 WEEK 13 🌱 Plants: The indica-looking pheno (the one on the far right) has a sweet kushy smell. The middle plant has the classic RuntZ aroma, and the plant on the far left has a distinct Gelato smell. Honestly, I wish I’d kept a clone of the one on the left instead of the indica-leaning one, but that’s just how it goes - I chose the one with better root growth, and how that’s translating to buds and flavor will be revealed soon. The one on the far left smells like a clean Dairy Queen cooler, flat Z terps, just a really clean scent. It’s wild that they all started with a rotten-lemon smell and evolved into such different profiles. Typical F1 generation behavior. 💧 Hydroponics: Full solution swap today: water came in at 6.6 pH and (yikes) 0.4 EC. Added 5 mL pH down and 8 gallons of Heavy 16 Flush Week to the 8 gallons of water (this is the one time I stick to the manufacturer schedule). Enviornment: Lights are all the way up; the tent thrives best when I can manually breathe it, otherwise it starts messing with its own humidity and CO2 levels. ⚙️ Equipment: I temporarily lost access to my online drive with the feeding schedule spreadsheet, which is way easier to digest than manually calculating feed per gallon and how many gallons I actually used (since I never feed full-strength manufacturer nutrients). This week was simple though - the buds are deep into swell, so I’ve started flushing. ⏳ Timeline & Outlook: The flush will be swapped for pure water sometime this week while the tent’s lights are OFF, which I think is a critical step. If we’re still pulling salts after the pure water flush, I’ll swap it out for fresh water based on the nighttime readings. On 4/4, I’ll swap the solution to water only at night. Then on 4/7, I’ll swap the water flush for a fresh water flush at night. The target harvest date is 4/14, depending on how the flush is going and how the foliage burn is progressing, though this could shift by a few days.

May 5, 2025 Harvest Summary Most plants have been successfully harvested as of today's date. Two specimens remain and are scheduled for harvest later this week, allowing for optimal maturation. Growing Method This cultivation cycle utilized a Biotabs "just add water" organic feeding strategy in conjunction with an Autopot XXL system. This combination proved highly efficient, significantly reducing maintenance time while ensuring consistent nutrition throughout the entire growth cycle. Growing Environment Lighting: Sanlight EVO 5-150 LED lights Environmental Control: Growcontrol Growbase Pro system Medium: TERRA PRETA MJ-Mix Irrigation: Autopot XXL with Flexi Tank and Airdomes Results The harvest yielded exceptional results across multiple phenotypes of the same genetic lineage: Smaller Plants: Each produced over 100g of dried material Larger Plants: Estimated yield of at least 200g per plant (final weight pending completion of drying process) Quality Indicators: All phenotypes exhibited excellent terpene profiles with pronounced aromas and high resin production (noticeably sticky flowers) Observations The current generation of autoflowering genetics demonstrated remarkable growth characteristics, comparable to traditional photoperiod varieties but with the advantage of automatic flowering transition. Plant size exceeded initial expectations, resulting in specimens larger than anticipated. Recommendations for Future Cycles Early training techniques are recommended for similar genetics to better manage plant architecture and potentially increase yields. Implementation of strategic training methods during the vegetative phase would likely optimize space utilization and light exposure throughout the canopy. Conclusion Overall, this growing cycle was highly successful. The combination of quality genetics, efficient automated watering, and organic feeding strategy delivered excellent results with minimal intervention required.

I'm sorry, but at the time I stopped updating the diaries because I moved to a new house and changed my routines. I'll leave a photo of the final product here, but don't worry, I'll be back at full speed. 🚀🚀 new diaries coming 🔜🔜

This strain really surprises any grower in relation to yield. The plant's structure itself does not have much density. The flavor and aroma refer mostly to pine and its production of trichomes is not the best that I’ve seen.

Light fluffy bud, but so much of it that weight got up there in the end. Really soft smoke with some earthy textures and tastes. Less sweet smelling than the previous haze but has a lot more earthy, baking smell to it this one.

welcome to Week 15 of our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run. This week was a bit of a rollercoaster as we faced some high temperatures. Our resilient Tangie made it through, though her leaves took on an interesting appearance. But don't fret; the buds remain unaffected and continue to dazzle. She's as frosty as ever, a true beauty to behold. For the sake of our full-time lapse project, I've decided to let things ride as they are. We've captured it all, from the ups to the downs, showing the unfiltered journey of this incredible plant. In the garden, my Tangie's pH levels are at a steady 6.2, and her TDS hovers around 490. The water temperature stays at a comfortable 20°C. Sharing a bit of moon magic, I've included some photos of the recent full moon. It was an enchanting and blessed sight to behold. As always, my medicine is shared not only with my Tangie but also with my faithful guardians, the Lego Ninjas. They've been by my side throughout, offering their silent wisdom and unwavering support. I've also been experimenting with my cameras, exploring different perspectives and colors to capture the essence of this journey. It's incredible how small adjustments can reveal the hidden beauty of our botanical companion. I must extend my heartfelt shout-outs: to Dutch Passion for their exceptional genetics, to Aptus Holland, my valued sponsor, for their incredible support, and to Grow Diaries, the platform that allows us to share this adventure. And a special thank you to our amazing community. Your encouragement, insights, and camaraderie are deeply appreciated. It's your support that keeps this journey thriving. As we venture into the next week, I'm excited to see what awaits. Thank you for being part of this botanical odyssey. Until next time, fellow gardeners and enthusiasts. #TropicalTangie #Week15 #BotanicalJourney #FullMoonMagic #GrowDiariesCommunity #AptusHolland #DutchPassion #LegoNinjas As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports.

Diese Woche wurden die Pflanzen umgetopft, leider ist eine der 2x Purple Punch kaputt gegangen aufgrund der Genetik, und ganz plötzlich ist auch eine der 3x Runtz umgeknickt, wahrscheinlich durch die zu großen Temperaturschwankungen von Tag/Nacht. Die Banana zweigt leichte weisse Färbung auf den Blättern und die unterren ersten zwei Richtigen Blätter sind leicht verfärbt ( gelblich) . Ausserdem wurde heute zum ersten mal gedüngt mit Rootjuice und Bio Grow.

This plant that I harvested today I've only defoliated and she took well to that. I LST and defoliated the other plant and she is still ripening will harvest her soon. 285gramms of wet bud is quite good for first grow, so i should get about 60g dry, I'll update actual value when dry. She was in the tent with 4 other plants under the Skyline 1000 lights which pull 500w from mains. She filled the room with some sort of orange/lemon candy smell. Smells really nice. I'll update when I harvest the other Candy Kush and report on taste/effect once dried. ------- Day 79 I harvested the other Candy Kush, gave 280g wet, not much of a difference between the trained and untrained plants, although I think she could have gotten fatter had I left her longer. Looking at the buds now that they dried up they got much smaller :D Really loving the smell, can't wait for them to cure.

It should be noted that with the current share of blue in the spectrum, the sprout does not stretch at all, I will probably adjust in favor of red in the coming days

24/10/2022 Todo va muy bien el crecimiento acelerado me preocupa por el poco espacio, 0.5m2 25/10/2022 Se baja a 15hrs de luz para aclimatar cambio a floración se empieza a descontrolar un poco el tamaño Fl26/10/2022 Día de riego, se nota poca actividad en time lapse, este día comienza ciclo 12/12 se añade un poco de Triple 17 como abono 27/10/2022 Continúan creciendo se notan nuevos brotes en la parte baja y aceleración de crecimiento se adiciona nuevamente tierra diatomea para continuar con el tratamiento. 28/10/2022 Crecimiento acelerado, preparándose para comenzar a florar, se notan brotes nuevos en ramas bajas. Se hace amarre en 02 para que aprovechen más la luz las hojas que le quedan y se acomodan plantas a nivel de plástico reflectante para aprovechar más la luz 30/10/2022 Se hace poda de bajos para fomentar el desarrollo de las ramas superiores, El crecimiento ceso, al parecer comenzara a florecer...

These are hands down the best geno/phenos I’ve ever dealt with the growth rate is mad compared to my other grows I really like these genetics and definitely won’t be growing any shit again 😂
