Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

Plant is 21 cm high because of low stress training. The length of the stem is 34 cm. Day 43 โ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ 14 - 17 degrees, humidity is about 72 % I prepared some simple comfrey manure for the next weeks of flowering. Itโ€˜s rich in silica and tannins and essential minerals. Mostly all fruit vegetables and flowers like it, so Tropicana will have it as a tee or head fertilization, as well as in her water mixed 1:20 and 1:5. Same procedure like with tomatoes or peppers. No watering in the next days. The soil is soaked with rainwater. The growth is a bit slow in the last cold and rainy days but the flowers look nice.๐Ÿ˜Š Day 44 โ˜๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ 14-20 degrees and humidity is around 64 % Day 45 โ›…๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ 13-21 degrees and humidity is around 69 % The flowers started to stack. The soil is too moist but I canโ€˜t change here a lot. Donโ€™t need too water in the neuerer Future and aafe water for late summer. Think when I can drink my next relax tee - take same leafs. Now Tropicana needs all of them for transpiration. Heavy pots. Too wet springtime. ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜”๏ธ Day 46 โ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธโ›…๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ 13-19 degrees, humidity is falling. Windy. The flowers are stacking up. ๐Ÿž๐Ÿž did their job and left. With them the mites disappeared (hide). But I found some eggs under the leafs off all three of my cannabis plants. So I will have an eye on thisโ€ฆ balcony problem! Wait some more days and bring a couple of ๐Ÿž again. Found some magnifying glass and it suits with my camera lens. Day 47 ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ 11-22 degrees, humidity 89 % and getting even higher this night. Took out two leafs. Day 48 ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ 17-23 degrees, humidity 89-43%, falling! Tropicana got a liquid breakfast this morning made out of two liter rainwater with 20% ready comfrey manure which is rich in silica and tannins and essential minerals. Be careful with liquid manure as you should have experience in giving high doses. Never more then 20% of the watering on moist soil and never give it pure and after the water. It will burn the roots. This is very fresh, only one week old and not too concentrated. Next week I will give maybe 10%. So, we just enjoy a sunny morning with a healthy breakfast and coffee! ๐Ÿ˜Š Day 49 โ›…๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ 10-20 degrees and humidity is 91%. Tropicana got thirsty. She drinks more, 0-5-0,75 liters rainwater. I will never use black pots again, too warm soil on the sunny side and the water evaporates faster. Iโ€˜m quit lucky with my new hobby and with my beautiful Tropicana. Time for a relax tee. Took some leafs off plant no. two and three.

Plants just received their last feeding. Only ph balanced water for the last 2 weeks to flush out nutrients. Leaves are starting to yellow showing signs of being almost ready for harvest. The trics are about half cloudy.

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos 5 weeks of flowering completed 2nd April 2020 Hi Everyone , Welcome back to my diary The plant I created is growing nicely nothing much to report other than the smell has changed yet again... Now it resembles yoghurt or slightly sour milk crossed with fruit. Not an unpleasent smell by any means just unusual. I'm not needing to feed a lot as the soil seems to be providing most of her nutritional needs. Now For the Aussie Music Videos Because this plant is geeting closer and closer to harvest time I thought I had better start doing more than one video a week lest I miss out on too many great videos I could add. So this week I have picked three videos from three different Artists all of which are very much loved here in australia. First one is a Group called "Crowded House" with their hit song "Better be home soon" here is the link.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQOlwMKpmvQ Second group is called the "Hoodoo Gurus" with "Like wow wipe out" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFnaNPGe4gQ And the third for this week is a great band actually from New Zealand but we claim them as our own "Mental as Anything" with "Live It Up" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK_eQImKnPA As usual I have provided a short clip of each song as a preview in the above image and video section. I hope you like this weeks update and please leave me a like if you did. Please stay safe and well Everyone and I will see you all back here next Week.

Strawberry pie ๐Ÿฅง๐Ÿ˜‹ doing great starting to fill in now. Going be some nice chunky tops for sure. Super glad I was able to successfully grow this one. So far lemon pie has been my favorite from the new drop. Gorilla cookies was pretty freaking tasty. But wasn't smacking me like 27 percent thc tbh. But who knows considering the smoke is gone before 1 month after harvest. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ Overall fast buds has improved alot. Excited for the new releases will be running them soon for sure.

Day 49 : THE END IS NIGH !!!!! Just thought a different start to the journal would be a welcome break. Wedding cake is looking huge now in both size and bud lengths. By far the biggest of the sensible ladies and is covered in a really dusty, sugary coating just like icing sugar. Her buds are nice and hard when squeezed with a nice healthy bounce to them. If she goes another 2 weeks , the potential for her size is going to make her a very good yield for a first time out. She has swamped the poor Black ghost og next to her now, leaving the poor ghost with nearly no manoeuvring room at all. Black ghost o.g is fighting on and producing a decent few mains but her slow start has handicapped her no end. The trichs and appeal are worth it alone at the moment with her as she is so sticky and smelly. Her buds are stacking really well now but she needs more light in the lower parts to prosper. GG#4 is such a perfect example of the strain still and just gets more dangerous looking each week. frosty and pointy like a nettle , warning g of her potency. I took a small lower branch to sample her a few days ago. and even rush dried it hit like a mule. The harvest of these ladies will bring me many hazy days I think.

Day 20 - she got 16oz of water pH balanced to 6.0~ on Day 16, Day 18, and Day 20. I topped the plant and then defoliated to leave the 3rd and 4th nodes. The 3rd node is being trained to grow laterally until it reaches the container walls. Once the 4th node matures more, it will also be trained just as node 3. The goal is to train and top one more time in veg to ensure maximum yields in this small 2x2x4 tent.

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.

Missed a day of watering but still looking like they are building proper buds first indoor grow I'd say is going good so far should be starting to flush my mid week on the black domina x Scott's og supposed to be a 7-9 week flowering time but not positive on when to start flush with Coco coir. Remo claims 7 days so I guess we shall see how it looks beginning of week 8.

Last week went well. Not much to say besides she is coming along nicely and fattening up daily. If you look closer you can see the purple coming through on some spots of the buds. She turned into a beautiful plant. This is one of the best strains I have tried for pain relief and sleep. It's one of my favorite ones. This is a great example of quality autoflower genetics. Should get a decent amount of good quality meds from her. Was the first auto I grew in a 5: gallon aerated fabric pot. Great outcome. Will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Last week went well. Not much happening besides watching her fattening up daily. Had to up cal-mag another.5 mL per gallon because I noticed the start of some minor spots on a couple of the top leaves. She is drinking a decent amount. About a gallon and a half of water every other day. The buds are getting big and I am going to get a decent yield. Until next time happy growing to everyone!
