Welcome to my Tropical Tangie From Dutch-Passion. This update is all pics I had for flowering phase. Sadly a lot of time was missed, (pics/videos) and such, as family stuff hit this crop, I just finished off the last of the puff this week. So, I have her taste and qualities fresh in my mind. So, stay tuned as full harvest & smoke review coming in the next day or two. Took a little over 8 weeks to flower. 60 days. Pre Flower she didn't really stretch so she'd be a ringer for a good SOG. The plant started to develop a lovely tangie smell early. I hit her with a the SE5000 and was at the edge. Picking up a lovely shape. The buds started to develop really nicely. Swollen calyexs, with fuzzy tops, dripping in shiny glistening trichomes. Was HST'ed early into the flowering phase. Knowing that HST works best after PRE flower has ended im sure id of gotten bigger buds. But what I did get was 21 grams of premium A grade HomeGrown. (More 2 come on that topic) Really happy with this girl and her strenghts. As a lot of my crop suffered from light exhaustion. Co2 was kept steady and the process of ppfd intake was really high and not enough co2 which led to the plant eating the very thing needed to push your plants, sugars, co2, light. And the ppfd was been kept up but sadly the co2 was not. But, she pushed through it the best out of the bunch. Hitting highs of 35c. Brought it down to 28 the last 10 days or so and cut the ppfd in half and dropped and extra co2. She ate all the Fungi in the pot, and was a happy lady. As you might be able to tell. I'm talking about this girl in the past tents, and that is because this girl and her whole 21grams got 1.5 months cure. I was smoking it upon curing also. Defo one of the best tangie puffs I've had in a long time. Brief flowering phase(s) reviews: Total time 90 days. 9 clones taken, but sadly I had to ditch that plan. I HST'ed this girl just as she was moving into pre flower. And was a very hardy girl. Drenched in sticky trichones she glistened under the light during late flowering period. Will defo be doing a SOG as she hardly stretched at all during pre flower probably 8cm, and there was a big swing in lights on/off 35c / 23c. Very easy girl to maintain and very hardy to harsh conditions. Thanks to Spider-Farmer for providing the light and to dutch for allowing me to try this baby. As I said. Harvest and puff review coming soon. She isn't a house stinker. So, some light air cleaning with an air filter and you'll be golden. But, don't be but off by this. As she'll be a stinker upon finishing or at least doing 4 weeks of curing. (More in the harvest update coming soon). 90 days + 48hr dark rest and 10 days drying at 19c and 70% rh. (Gen not my ideal conditions for drying but done 3 of my girls this way, and they're probably my best dried plants ever. No bush whack smell (hay smell).. some very nice bud that grinds a treat. Takes a little longer to dry but no dropping the RH, it must of been the steady conditions that made them some good owl phenos.. Thanks for your views and so on. Glad to be back after my few months absence.

🌱 Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves 🌱 Grow Fam, the adventure is in full swing! 🌟 The Gorilla Melon from Fast Buds is out and shining its light, and the Papaya Zoap has made its debut in the Cannakan, bringing with it a story that adds even more depth to this incredible run. When the universe speaks, we listen. 🍈✨ I didn’t plan on popping Papaya Zoap from Sweet Seeds just yet, but sometimes things just have a way of aligning. After a few other seeds didn’t germinate, I felt an inner pull toward this special strain. As it turns out, the universe had something beautiful in mind! Just days later, my brother @daggadna also began germinating the same genetics—gifted to us during Spannabis. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. 🌱 This is more than just a grow now—it’s a journey with purpose, guided by synchronicity and connection. I can already feel the magic building up with this one, and I can’t wait to see where this road takes us! Now, onto the Papaya Zoap… something tells me this plant is going to take us on a ride we didn’t expect but absolutely needed. 💚 Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go 🚀 This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! 🌬️ This tool is giving me precision control over the RH (relative humidity) ranges in the room, keeping the environment just right for my babies. Having that accurate readout and control allows me to maintain optimal levels for each stage of growth. It’s like magic—you plug it in, set the desired ranges, and let it do its thing! 🌡️ By monitoring and adjusting humidity levels on-the-fly through the TrolMaster app, I can ensure the environment remains stable, and that means happier plants and healthier growth! No more guessing games. From anywhere—whether I’m working in the garden or chilling out—I can track and tweak it all. Heck, I could be on the toilet and still have complete control over my room! 😂 The AMP-3 Precision Meter has been running 24/7 in my water solution, giving me real-time updates so I can make any corrections when needed, right from my phone. This tech has taken my grow to another level. ✨ Nutrition Update: Keeping It Balanced 🍃 As for feeding, we’re sticking with the basics to give the plants what they need, without overloading. Right now, I’m running: • Regulator: 0.15ml/l • Startbooster: 0.25ml/l For now, I feel like this is the sweet spot—just enough to encourage root development and early growth without overloading them. I’ll be adjusting the feed as we go deeper into the grow, keeping an eye on how they respond. You know me, always tweaking and improving along the way! Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙌💚 Huge love to everyone following along—whether you’re here on Grow Diaries, over on YouTube, or on IG. Your support keeps this journey alive, and I am so grateful for every comment, like, and message! Special shoutout to my sponsors for fueling this project: • Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptusbrasil @aptus_thailand @aptus_portugal @aptususa_official @aptusplanttechnz @aptusplanttechaus • Controls: @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro • Soil: @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis @promixmitch More to come soon, and you won’t want to miss it! 📺 I’m also documenting everything on my YouTube channel, and I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content on IG, so hit that subscribe button and follow along. Let’s grow together, fam! Growers Love to All 💚 The love and support from the grow community is something I never take for granted. This journey wouldn’t be the same without all of you! I’m so honored to be part of this amazing community, and I can’t wait to share more updates and insights along the way. Remember, this isn’t just about growing plants—it’s about growing together. 🌱 Until next time, stay positive, stay inspired, and keep pushing forward!

Let’s see what magic we can create together! #HighFrequency #PositiveVibesOnly #PapayaZoap #GorillaMelon #TrolMaster #InBalanceWithNature #GrowLife #AptusTruePlantScience #GrowersLove

SATURDAY 8/25: I prepped WW#2 for slaughter..one more good flush and a haircut. She'll have one more day in the sun, then it's a dark day and the axe. She's got a few resin leaks that I can't quite get a good picture of..looks like a drop of oil oozing out of a calyx. Makes my mouth water... Seedlings are doing well. I transplanted two of them into tall 5 gal pots and they are doing fine. EM#2 will get another nutrient douche along with EM#3 and both Candy Canes tomorrow. I'm thinking that might also be CC#1's last taste of nutes. An interesting thing about CC#2 is that while her trichromes are pretty much all cloudy and/or amber, the majority of her stigmas aren't withered...I haven't seen that before, but I've never really grown any indica genetics before this grow. CC#1 is delightfully redhaired. I jarred up WW#1 into 3 x quart jars, EM#4 into 4 x quart jars, and EM#1 into 4 pint jars (barely). Bought more quart jars later today and will rejar EM#1 tomorrow SUNDAY: I did the harvest report on WW#1, EM#1, and EM#4 today. EM#4 is now is 3 x quart jars. I harvested WW#2 today...yowsa! (see pics) I mixed up a batch of nutes for EM#3, but after a close look at everybody, I decided to start flushing CC#1, CC#2..they are both suddenly ready. 15-20% amber trichromes. They'll get a few more days in the sun before meeting their maker. I flushed EM#2 again. I'm gonna harvest her tomorrow. She's at about 25% amber trichs today! Really oozing the good stuff.. MONDAY: (queue Metallica's 'Harvester of Sorrow'..) WW#2 got the axe today and thoroughly saturated the air with her odoriferous emanations. A wondrous bouquet! The big tent is getting empty, so I rearranged the remaining girls for optimized PAR and spectra. I really need those seedlings and clones to hurry the phuk up. WW#2 is drying nice and slow in the top basket and EM#2 is now right below her in the second basket. CC#1 will be in the basket below them tomorrow...she's ready. CC#2 will also be drying in the next day or two after that. That will leave EM#3 (Bush Bitch) as the last remaining original member of this crop. Besides her, there's the Pineapple Express gift from my other diary and that's it for my bloomers. As I said before, I sure wish I had taken the fine print more seriously and believed that they'd really finish so quickly. I should have started these seedlings at least 2 weeks earlier... TUESDAY: I harvested both CC's today. They couldn't be more ripe. 68 days from seed...impressive. I just wish they had packed on a little more size in the first few weeks so that these super-sugary buds were bigger. This stuff is far more sticky and stiNky than the WW or the EM, but I'll be lucky to get 2 ounces from each of them. When you factor that in with the fact that I only got 3 of 7 to grow (one in current batch of seedlings), the taste/effect will have to be completely off the charts for me to even consider ever ordering any more of them. WEDNESDAY: I recharged 50gals of soil and have it cooking up now I gave Bush Bitch some water and will give her nutes on Friday. THURSDAY: The video I added today is the total harvested bud for this grow, minus EM#3/Bush Bitch...I'm betting she'll be 4 quart jars by herself. From right to left, it's: 3 x 1-quart jars of EM#4, 2 x 1-quart jars of EM#1, the 2 purple lidded 1-quart jars are CC#1, and the tall 2-quart jar between them is CC#2...the two red lidded 1-quart jars are WW#1, the 2.5 gallon jar is WW#2, and the 1.5 gal jar is EM#2. WW#2 was dry and went into 3 x 1-quart jars. She weighed 90g..not too bad. EM#2 is still in the biggest jar with the lid off and some bovedas. CC#1 was about 70% dry so I put it into a big jar with some bovedas and the lid open, branches intact. CC#2 was mostly dry except for her main cola. She went into a big jar after the photo shoot with the lid off and some bovedas. I feel so stupid..I had my diary listed with "published wattage" rather than actual draw wattage. My actual wattage drawn during flowering: 2000w Morsen blurple: 463w 2 x 100w Cree CXB3590: 108w 2 x 100w Citizen Clu048: 108w 4 x 12w Miracle LED: 48w 2 x 36w Higrow Deep Red LED: 48w 2 x 54w ABI Deep Red LED: 52w 3 x 1m strip LED below canopy: 27w 2 x 15.0 26w UVB: 52w 1 x 20w 3000k par38 spot: 20w TOTAL: 926w draw at the wall

Hallo Freunde 👋 Frost Banger von fast buds ist 56 Tage Alt und baut mächtige buds! Ein starker süß erdiger Geruch im Zelt bin echt neugierig was sie in zwei Wochen noch zu bieten hat! Keep Green and grow High ✌️🍀💚🍀

Schönen Sonntag euch 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Alles läuft weiterhin stabil =) Mein Fokus liegt aktuell auf dem Messen und Erhalten der Nährstofflösung. Bulking hat begonnen und ich freu mich jedes Mal, wenn ich das Zelt aufmachen kann =D Wer den Run hier mitliest, hat mitbekommen, dass ich mich bewusst für einen relativ hohen Start-EC entschieden habe. Das lag zum einen am Bedarf der Genetiken, die sich im Bereich zwischen Middle und Heavy Feed bewegen (wobei der Cross rückblickend nicht so der schlauste Take war 😅). Zum anderen lag es daran, dass ich recht viel Reservoirvolumen habe und möglichst wenige Eingriffe geplant waren =) Ziel war es dabei, jederzeit eine Mindestverfügbarkeit zu gewährleisten. Durch dieses, nennen wir es mal, frühe Gewöhnen – natürlich immer mit Blick auf die Reaktion der Ladies, konnte ich den EC komplett stressfrei bis 2,3 anheben. Danach war für mich Schluss, weil ich ehrlich gesagt keinen Mehrwert darin erkannt habe, sie nicht verheizen wollte und vor allem die Messungen gezeigt haben, dass der selektive Wasserverbrauch zu heftige Maße angenommen hat.. Sprich: Die Lösung selbst konzentriert sich über Zeit zu stark und der EC steigt in zu großen Schritten. Ich habe also damit begonnen, ab diesem Peak-Point den reinen Wasserverbrauch – Achtung, festhalten =DD mit Cal/Mag versetzt wieder aufzufüllen. In den Messungen hat sich dabei ein klares Pattern abgezeichnet 📊 Über 24 Stunden zeigt sich ein leichter Anstieg im EC, bedingt durch primären Wasserverbrauch, bei gleichzeitig sinkendem pH-Wert. Parallel habe ich natürlich immer beobachtet, wie die Ladies auf die Verläufe reagieren =) Sobald ich sehe, dass sich dieses funktionierende Pattern minimal verschiebt, in meinem Fall ein ansteigender EC bei gleichzeitig steigendem pH, refreshe ich 30 Liter der Lösung . Nach dem 30-Liter-Refresh fällt das System wieder in sein vorheriges, stabiles Pattern zurück. Für mich ist das ein klarer Hinweis darauf, dass der Mini-Shift das erste Anzeichen eines beginnenden Ungleichgewichts war =) Ab hier geht’s wieder weiter im Loop 🔄 Ich habe hier echt für mich mitgenommen, dass ein Teil-Refresh ein gutes Diagnose-Werkzeug sein kann. Wenn sich Verläufe nur minimal anders verhalten als gewohnt und man keine klare Ursache validieren kann, kann ein moderater Refresh dabei helfen zu prüfen, ob das System wieder in sein normales Uptake-Pattern zurückfindet. Normalisiert sich das Verhalten danach, kann man unter diesen konstanten Bedingungen davon ausgehen, dass die Ursache in der Lösung lag und nicht bei den Plants oder im Klima 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Endlich ein spannenderer Teil zu berichten =D Das ganze Zelt riecht einfach wie ein Traum, ich würd da am liebsten den ganzen Tag davor sitzen =)) 🌿 Blueberry Cupcake frostet schön weiter ❄️ Bildet aktuell schön homogene Sites und zeigt sich als echt solide Genetik 💪 Sie macht viel mit und lässt sich wirklich gut trainieren. Meine Freundin sagt, die Gute riecht extrem nach Blaubeere – surprise, surprise =D Ich finde eher, sie riecht wie Blaubeerquark? =D Bin wirklich gespannt. Purpz entwickelt sich auch wirklich traumhaft 😊 Schöne kleine Golfbälle, allesamt synchron im Aufbau. Die Trichombildung ist mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit BBCC und wirkt nur durch die hellere Pflanzenfarbe selbst weniger spektakulär ✨ Vom Geruch her sehr fruchtig-süßlich, klar in den hellen Noten, aber nicht wirklich definierbar 🍬 Meine Freundin sagt, sie stinkt nach „Gras“ 😂.. Notorious THC frostet aktuell etwas hinterher, was bei den Infos, die ich dazu habe, auch zu erwarten war. Das Blattbild irritiert mich nach wie vor ein wenig, aber da sie sich sichtbar weiterentwickelt und sonst alles sauber läuft, schiebe ich das aktuell auf die Genetik =) Deckt sich auch mit den Infos drüber. Vom Aufbau her ist sie absolut gleichauf mit ihren Schwestern. Sie riecht ziemlich kush-mäßig, musste direkt an so einen dumpfen, aber geilen OG-Smoke denken🔥 =D Meine Freundin wollte ich hiermit nicht belasten – Dessert-Strains only ist hier die Erkenntnis 😄 Guzzlerz kommt auch langsam. Ihre Sites sind recht zart im Vergleich und leider auch deutlich weniger. Sie frostet mittlerweile und ist für ihren Stand synchron gegangen =D ❄️ Ihre Schwestern sind einfach zu dominant – man sieht, das war der schwächste Seed und das zieht sich 😬 Die Ansätze sind trotzdem sehr vielversprechend und in Zukunft gehe ich das auf jeden Fall nochmal an 💚 ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung =) 🔧 1,20 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC 2.000–2.100 µS/cm 1.000 PPFD Danke mal wieder für eure Zeit 😊 Auf ein gutes neues Jahr und feiert schön 🎉🥂

Olá companheiros, mais uma semana que passou, tudo está bem, a rainha continua a crescer bem, desta vez só cresceu 10cm numa semana mas as ramas laterais cresceram muito e estão muito ramificadas, uma rama de baixo partiu-se com o peso.. e ainda não tinha flores.. a planta continua com um desenvolvimento espectacular, esta semana borrifei óleo de neem para combater algumas pragas, e tudo vai bem, estou muito contente 🌲🌲✌️

Week 7 staring and plants are looking beautiful, time to flip to flower.. I am flipping it tonight so I will post some more updates in the coming days.. increasing watering, dimming, and fertz.. so far happy with what I am seeing.. barneys always fireeee

This week has been amazing full of growth

Week 2 Flowering Another week down and we getting there ! she is growing super bushy so decided to give another haircut today. only 35-40 per cent of the leaves are down and some light can finally reach the bottom parts of the plant. Another and last defoliation session will happen at end of third week F. Take a look at that Massive leaf 💪 D5 She's growing great, really bushy and that's a bit annoying but I can't do anything , I should have done more intense defoliation or lolipoping till one point , will probably do in couple days . I just saw the first pistils at some nodes, she's getting into flowering a bit slow but steady so far. Im expecting her to stretch a bit tho...lets see ! Introduced Canna Boost Accelerator to her diet at 2ml/lt and lets get it started Her smell is already so nice and chemical ,leaves beautiful pale green but I suppose is due to genetics cause she's super healthy in general Till next Update

3/22: I’m really just loving her structure she’s perfect. Can’t wait till I get my Optic 4 XL’s this upcoming week and see what that does to her, I’m starting to see the 1st hairs since flipping....it sucks ordering something and then have to wait a month and a 1/2 For something because it’s extremely back ordered. 3/25: As I keep saying I’m really digging her structure I’m not gonna be really doing much with her until harvest she’s a beast she’s the biggest medicine plant I’ve grown thus far. I finally got the notification of my Optic 4XLs being shipped so now I can get the real growing on and get rid of this cheap Chinese blurple.

2025-11-30 shes doing well, pistils start to change- so i think 10 more days for her. 🌿 Soil Preparation Base Medium: 35L Terrapreta soil Nutrient Integration: Mixed according to Aptus Living Soil Schedule Method: Nutrients pre-mixed into soil for optimal distribution 📋 Growing Schedule Phase 3:Flowering Final Home: 35L Smart Pots Location: Main grow room alongside comparison studies (documented in separate diary) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BREEDERS INFO 🌟 Strain Profile: Permanent Marker 🏆 Award Excellence Recognition: Leafly's Strain of the Year 2023 Genetics: Premium award-winning lineage ⚡ Potency Profile THC Content: Up to 31% - Extreme potency levels Effect: High-impact experience for seasoned consumers Breeder Heritage Master Breeder: JBeezy @ Seed Junky Genetics Reputation: Industry-leading genetic specialist 🌸 Aromatic Signature Base Notes: Lingering floral foundation Unique Accents: Distinctive soap & gas undertones Profile: Complex, memorable terpene expression

Thanks to growdiaries I followed the entire growing stages of the plant seeing all the little details usually not seen. Sincerly I expected more than 30g with the nutriens and light utilised anyway it is a good result.

Not much to say this week, they are thickening day to day, not as much as I wish they would but still more then happy with how my first grow is going so far. I increased their nutrients as they started into week 6 of flower. Thanks for your help with the potassium deficiency over the last week, appreciate everyone helping me out ☺️

starting my second grow. *sorry for the fingermarks on the propagator* I am using the propagator pro 2 from Zamnesia as well as their smart start pots, I used some of the stimulator mix in 5cm lukewarm water. seeds usually sprout in 3-6 days. using half the advised water quantity with the perlite to avoid too high RH problems ( see my other grow week 1) Day 2- one seed cracked open and one is laying the first root. germination in 48 hours :) I am very excited about this one because I learned from my mistakes. my cups are ready. my 3L pot is on the way, no fimm or topping. just lst and defoliation as needed. first dose of bio heaven and root juice as soon as I plant update! Tuesday 21st. I started a second seed of GG auto in case the first one gives up, 5cm of water and a drop of root juice and bio heaven. Day 5 (wed 22) Sticky Beast is In a cup, as soon as the GG is ready I will put it in its 11lL pot. the SB gets a pot in 2 weeks when the pot is free Day 6 (Thu 23) my rescue seed got mold, the first GG seed that had a weird root that broke off (the tip) bounced back 2 days later, another 2 days till I intend to plant her, will seed what the rescue seed does till then

Was a much better harvest than the previous one! Still using Biobizz for 100% organic grow on this one.

Well boys and girls its time. Krishna got the chop at 58 days, and I just took down the Orange Blossom Fizz at 62 days. Krishna trimming has started and I'll ad some pics of those awesome buds, the Blossom is a lot and pretty wet still so that might need more days of hanging. Great looking plants, probably not too much weight off the Krishna but its soo frosty. It smells like homeless armpits and is almost too ripe to inhale deeply... The blossom doesn't coat the fan leaves in trichs like the kush but it makes great nugs with almost all calyxes instead of leafy material. Smells like mangos and some hint of spice, like an orange peel with cinnamon. They got powdered koolbloom for 4 days and flushed for 3 more before setting them outside the tent, in the dark, for a day before cutting and hanging. its like 59f outside my tents so it really helps the purps come out at the last second for strains that do it. once its jarred up an weighed i'll post back. probably 2.5 off the KK and could be a good amount off that big orange blossom plant.

Day 8 - First official day of veg and both ladies are right on time for a small adjustment in lighting, PH and nutrients. 10ml of Hydro A & Hydro B were added to both buckets (10L of water in each bucket) and the Milwaukee PH controller was set to work. Starting at a PH of around 7.8, it slowly worked down to a perfect 6.0 over about 50minutes. The lights were readjusted to be 60cm from the seedlings who are all between 8-10cm tall and the intensity of the lights increased to about 70% brightness. Day 9 - Cheech is taking nicely to the adjustment in light and nutrients, but CG 1 is looking a little bit too perky. Going to give her 24 hours to adjust. Day 10 - We have finally renamed CG 1. Fellow enthusiasts, meet Venezia. Day 12 - The root systems are clearly visible in the ladies today Day 13 - The ladies are looking well today. Venezia seems to be showing some light signs of heat stress with slight curling of the leaves. The lights are due to be adjusted tomorrow to account for the seedlings growth over the last week.
