Just added water this week to what was left in each reservoir; which dropped EC to the 1 range. Dropped lights down to 10 hours to lower DLI. Ended up chopping the Brain Freeze plant that had dried out somewhat from the line getting plug last week. 1/27 L - 5.56 1.0 R - 5.54 1.1 2/1 L - 5.67 0.62 R - 5.82 0.64

Bonjour a tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis Pour cette semaine 4 je surveille comme à mon habitude hygrométrie et arrosage. Je peaufine mon LST en stressant ma plante le moins possible. Je combine mon LST avec un pincage d'Apex cela me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Petit rappel sur le pincage d'Apex: Le pinçage des plantes de cannabis Proche de la taille d’apex sur le principe, cette technique possède cependant plusieurs avantages, le principal étant de conserver le gros bud central de la plante, d’une production et qualité maximale. Pinçage des plantes de cannabis Le pinçage d’apex (tête de la plante) consiste simplement à pincer délicatement la tige du dernier étage de la plante, entre le pouce et l’index, jusqu’à sentir la fibre s’écraser sous les doigts avec un petit bruit critch caractéristique. Si l’espace disponible sur la tige du dernier étage ne permet pas d’y placer confortablement ses doigts, il faudra plutôt pincer l’étage du dessous. Le pinçage ralentira fortement la croissance verticale de la plante, tout en stimulant le développement des branches secondaires, donnant ainsi à la plante une forme de buisson. La plante mettra quelques jours à réparer ce pinçage, formant un nœud à cet endroit, et poursuivra ensuite sa croissance de façon normale. Le pinçage peut alors être répété si nécessaire, sur l’étage suivant nouvellement formé, ainsi que sur les éventuelles branches secondaires qui pourraient dépasser l’apex. Le pinçage est donc une excellente technique pour avoir une belle canopée uniforme de type marée verte. En pinçant régulièrement l’apex des plus grandes plantes de votre espace, durant la croissance et en début de floraison (stretch), vous obtiendrez ainsi facilement des plantes de hauteur homogène en pleine floraison, ce qui facilitera la culture et augmentera la production finale, surtout si vous cultivez simultanément de multiples variétés de marijuana. Avec un peu d’habitude le pinçage pourra être réalisé aussi rapidement qu’efficacement. En cas de pinçage trop violent qui se traduirait par un apex arraché, cela produira simplement les mêmes résultats qu’une taille classique de l’apex, ce qui ne sera donc pas dramatique. Que la force soit avec vous💪

So let me tell you, my Tropicana Cookies is doing amazing in week 2 of flowering. She's stopped the stretch and is now fully focused on fruit production. And let me tell you, even though the buds are still small, they are already packing a punch with those trichomes with i start to believe is the Fast Buds way for them all <3 <3 <3 crazy , much respect to them <3 <3 <3 . I've been using autopots for this grow and I have to say, I'm pretty smitten with them. It's such a breeze to keep her hydrated and fed without having to constantly check on her. And my Tropicana Cookies auto seems to be loving it too! I can't wait to see what kind of buds she'll produce in the next few weeks. But even if she stayed like this, I'd still be head over heels for her. There's just something about watching a plant grow and thrive that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So here's to my Tropicana Cookies auto and all the other plants out there doing their thing. May they continue to bring us joy and happiness with their beautiful growth and delicious buds. As always thank you all for stopping 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 Tropicana Cookies Auto Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance. This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Auto’s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind. It’s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end.Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest that’ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts

Pues terminando las entradas de los cinco diarios de la temporada y he dejado para el final, la Tropicanna Poison Fast de Sweet Seeds...y como podéis ver algo aquí es muy distinto tanto a las fotodependientes cuanto a las automáticas. Las fast son en mi opinión, una "tierra de nadie" y aún habrá que evolucionar en lo que las genéticas de estas F1, terminan expresando en sus grows Primera de las evidencias. Son raras en su expresión de vegetativo y os explico, solo las Fast en indoor te pueden regalar hojas fan con casi 20 centímetros cada una, pero ojo al dato, no solo una de estas hojas y si un montón de ellas. O sea que el diseño genético de esta cepa F1, te lanza hojas primarias gigantes como si fueran paneles lumínicos y co o si con ellos quisieran chuparse todas las áreas de luces que puedan estar en un armario grow. Otra característica que me tiene patidifuso y que es sencillamente el grosor de tallos, el central es como un árbol y las inserciones de hojas primarias son tremendas en tamaño. Esta F1 tiene una característica que me ha sido posible registrar y que es no haber una definición clara de una cola principal...son ramas que a espacios fueron compitiendo en el particular del aprovechamiento de la posición de los paneles de luces y lo que ha pasado es que nonçe he puesto una malla SCROG, pero el grow por "voluntad" propia generó como que un nivelamento de sus ramas y es casi como ver que este grow tiene como media docena de colas. Los primeros señales de floración son muy específicos, con el grow sacando pistilos tremendamente grandes, lo que representará a la postre cogollos que serán al menos en el tope, también gigantes y todo en este grow Fast es sobredimensionado...es como si fuese una planta gigante y es ya muy claro que por su tamaño existirán internudos muy apartados, pero por la estructura cada punto donde haya floración, habrá un cogollo de dimensiones muy grandes y la pregunta del millón es "que esperar de algo así?"...siempre tendremos unos cogollos rojos y con mucha carga psicoactiva o será esta Tropicanna Poison F1, como una otra también de Sweet Seeds y también F1, que fue la S.A.D. (la afgana delicious) y que fue uno de los humos que menos me gustó (ya os comenté que fue un humo sin mucha imaginación, muy a los aromas y sabores a hachis de toda la vida; y con cogollos no muy buenos en densidad, pese a su tamaño. Y esa es mi reflexión final de la semana, serán las F1 ya plantas que sus genéticas son lo suficiente estables, para que salga algo especial. Para mí, que una F1 pueda llegar a término, dos semanas antes de una fotodependiente nunca ha sido la principal idea en desarrollarlas y aún necesito entender si lo que pasa con las Fast es algo como ese chiste de dos amigos que tenían cada uno un burro y decidieron crear descendencia y uno tenía un burro macho muy grande pero poco empeñado en trabajar y otro tenía la burra, que era pequeña pero muy dispuesta al trabajo y en lo que pararon, el burro nacido que esperaron que fuera grande y muy fuerte para trabajar, les salió casi un "perro" o sea un burro enano y que el curro no le gustaba ni un poco...así que mi pregunta sobre las F1 es un poco, que "burro" nos sale en regla en estos grows??? Las F1 heredan que características por lo general?!? Dudas tengo y no son pocas y como ya os había comentado, a las Fast quizás sea esta la oportunidad de oro para que me decante, por si sigo haciendo apuesta en ellas o las dejo de una vez y en este momento, solo el tiempo podrá decirlo. 420 siempre y el Dios Jah siempre con todos los hermanos growers!

Some of my finished and flowering plants included in pictures, found a small amount of slider mites in my veg tent , as you can see I'm managing it , one more week in the veg tent before I flip them all, I also decided to start one in flower before the rest as I want to stagger my harvest and get back into perpetual growing, Hope you're having a good day everyone 😁

I managed to harvest a while ago i just never got round to update this diary i had to deal with an unexpected surgery and not being well and family life. I got about 6 oz roughly when all dried i didn't weigh it as it wasn't for sale. The pictures are of what i have left but they turned out beautiful. The plants never really gave me any problems they was nice and easy for me and id definitely grow them again. I got 2 phenotype one was short fat and frosty as death with small purple bits and the others was mostly brighter green frosty and hardly any purple but both are delicious. Thanks to anyone who had a look sorry for such a long update to this diary take it easy people keep growing as much as we can the world is in a mess outside

Day 134 - We enter the 12th week of flower. I forgot to mention that I gave 2 gallons of water again yesterday, though the runoff seemed to be about half as much as the previous time that I watered. I did topdress with a touch of new Mother Earth Coco Peat, but I wouldn't have imagined it would have soaked up as much additional water as it did. I imagine doing so will give the plants just a touch more nutrients while just watering, and should hopefully allow me to at least get through this week, possibly a touch longer. The trichs all appear cloudy, but the pistils still stand up a bit much, so I want to take this as long as possible, without extending it too much further. Day 135 - Seems that last little top dress of medium has slowed/stopped what seemed to be the start of autumning off. I'm actually kind of happy with that, as it may allow me to get another couple days of finishing out of the plant. While I don't want to wait much longer, I would like to see some more pistils receding/turning color. Day 136 - Watered today, just under 2 gallons. After a couple days of getting lots of runoff, I feel safe that most of the medium will be cleaned of any salt residues that may have been left. At this point, I will basically just water until runoff for the last feed or two. Day 137 - As I wait for these last few days to count down to harvest, I can only think that it is hard to 'plan' a grow before you start. These beans were listed as 8-10 weeks, I started flowering at the beginning of March, and figured by the end of April I should be close to a harvest. Well, as we sit here, close to the end of May, it is finally getting close to that harvest, though at times I feel like I should be waiting multiple more weeks on the plant. Day 138 - I don't have much to say about today. I started a new job tonight, working the overnight shift, so I will end up only getting a couple hours of 'day' time with the plant now in her final days. She will be watered tomorrow when I get home from work. Day 139 - This new job is less than ideal for the flowering times I currently have, but there is minimal (probably 7-10 days) time left before I chop her. Lights are on from 10p-10a, and I work from 10p-6a, not getting home until close to 7. She was watered when I got home today, and so as long as she doesn't fade out too quickly, I will be chopping around the 1st of June. She will approach 90 days of flower time from a listed 56-63 day strain. I have said it many times, but still a waiting game at this point. Day 140 - The 20th week of growing, 12th week of flower is now complete. It appears that the leaves are slowly starting to yellow a bit more. Getting close! She is either going to get harvested this weekend, or next weekend (figure it will just be easier to do when I'm not working).

Day 102 since seed touched soil. Again troubles .... Came to check them and found tent dark. Normally theirs day was in the night, now one day we again had no electricity and everything moved 8 hours, so day is day now .... Humidity spikes as hell. I dont want to make wounds, so no defoliation ... just too big of a risk to damage or bring infection in .... Ground level 99% rh, canopy level - 85, lights level - 80 .... never grew in such hight, i did in 65-70 without problems, but this goes overboard ... Drinking slowed down, will reduce volume by 20% next watering. One more feed left. Keeping sticky pads as prevention and it helped to catch 50 or so bugs and maybe prevent infestation. Gnats mostly ... This this girl is most behind, she is heavily overcrowded , would need defoliation , will be many airy lime green buds, but ill still smoke them ;))) 10 days till chop !!! Hope no bud rot !!! Happy Growing !!!

8th.05.25 68 Been so busy I don't even know what day it it. Last night I gave the chem dawg defoliation and add bloom booster and calmag to revervoir. Pumps where out so root rot was developing on all of them, however I think I caught it in time. Smell on tropicana cookies moved from sour citrus to sweet cirtus. Trichomes are clear and starting to trun milky. They are ripening nicely. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. I started counting days as the seeds were placed in water however I should start my count after germination so actually days are less than what I think. Still learning. I must say chem dawg was my least favorite because of longer grow time and less thc which is about 20% compared to other. But after seeing the stucture and how she is shapping up i must say i am quite impressed. No wonder she is a cassic strain. We shall see how things progress.
