It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

Al empezar a cortar se noto un aroma muy penetrante, se ve que el sabor estara estupendo, aun no la eh probado pero supongo estara de 10.

We couldn't find time to pump these buds with nutes. I'm disappointed that right at the end we couldn't tend to these like they needed. The buds are small but they are super frosty and loud. They smell strong like lemony tang. We will get a few more pics this week before harvest.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis La récolte approche à grands pas

Gracias a @James, Royal Queen Seeds y MarshHydro sin ellos no sería posible hacer este diario. La Tropical Mirage es la última creación de los maestros de la cría de Royal Queen Seeds. Trabajando mano a mano con el DJ y productor Henry Saiz, nuestro equipo se propuso crear una variedad que sirviera como chispa de inspiración para las personas creativas de cualquier ámbito de la vida. Y ahora, por fin podemos presentar el resultado. La Tropical Mirage desciende de la todopoderosa Zkittlez, uno de los híbridos más populares del mundo. Es el resultado de un cruce entre un esqueje seleccionado de la Forbidden Zkittlez y la Melonade, y es afrutada, edificante e inspiradora. Sus flores densas, alargadas y resinosas desprenden intensos aromas y ejercen un subidón energizante capaz de impulsar cualquier proyecto creativo, desde la música y las artes visuales hasta la escritura, el baile y mucho más.

Germinated directly in root riot cubes and 100% success. I’ll be transplanting these into 25L autopots on 30/08/21 and hand feeding for 2 weeks before the resivour is switched on. I have used 0.5ml per litre of emerald harvest a&b for the first 2 weeks of the seedlings and will be moving upto 1ml per litre when transplanting.

In to week 7 now starting to flush!! Very impressed with this run 💚🌱💚🌱 I’m now running the Futur vert 30 W uv led for 5 hours of the 12/12 with the Futur vert flora max series

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana ho eseguito Lollipopping e Defoliation per far si che le cime principali sprigionino al meglio il loro vigore. Siamo verso la fine del progetto ora bisogna solo aspettare la fine... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

First week of flower has ended! 😊 Watering stays the same for now as shes stretching, will slowly transition to bloom ferts over the next couple of waterings. Still 6L, ~6PH, 1ml/L roots fading out right now, 5ml/L Grow. No Calmag as she seems to have recovered nicely with the topdress and one time dosage last week.😎 Only thing i do for now is ongoing minor defoliations. She is shaping up to become quite a BUSH! 😍 See you all in the next year! 👻

- WEEK 8 - ----- Day 50 ----- Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on. Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide. The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug... Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH 5-15+ days left. 2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period. Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember. I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant. ----- Day 51 ----- Easy day of watching. Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear. Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all. I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go. I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked. ----- Day 52 ----- Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week. Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs. Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably. Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl ----- Day 53 ----- Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again. I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today. I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only. Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way. Colors are going wild. Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then. ----- Day 54 ----- 1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed Here's some pics. Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber. ----- Day 55 ----- Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy. Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies. Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58 Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses. ----- Day 56 ----- Didnt even bother with ppm/pH. Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters. Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa) God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet... I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other) A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock. 6 days for Tropicana. Probably 8 for Wedding Cake. Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen. Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow). Should be interesting. *** update *** Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go? rofl

great tent, sturdy and durable. opened and closed it about 500 times during this grow haha Edit: 3 ounce harvest

Everything seems fine but seems like things are starting to slow down so I decided to feed plain ph'd Water the last 2 feeds will be continuing with normal nutrients solution again I have 3x strawberry stardawg which all still have White pistols 2x critical jack which has 60% amber pistols 1x strawberry diesel 40% amber pistols and 1 somango all white will try post pictures soon p

I will test another round wiith this strain... single grow 😜

For sure i will keep this plant in stock. Very different and potent head high with great looking buds and strong flavor.

Net going in next week lots of branches not holding their

Ready for harvesting Trichomes are ~ 10-15% amber

Week 4 of Flowering – Post-Vacation Update & The Auto-Drip Setup ​What’s up, grow family! ​Just touched down from my trip and I’m buzzing to see the girls looking absolutely fire! Leaving them for a few days is always a bit stressful, but I had a solid plan in place. ​The Irrigation Setup: To keep them happy while I was away, I put together a custom drip system using irrigation bags from Amazon. I used two drip emitters per plant, each dialed in to a flow rate of approximately 25ml/h. To prep, the night before I left, I gave each lady a heavy 4-liter feed with my full nutrient mix (Bio Grow, Bio Heaven, Bio Bloom, Top Max, and Green Sensation). This was the perfect "insurance policy"—it ensured they had enough hydration and nutrients to stay happy and thriving the entire time I was gone. ​The Ladies: The stretch is officially over, and the girls are now entering full-blown "fattening" mode. ​Nebula 1: She’s the leader of the pack—the tallest in the tent. She’s really pushing for the light and has some serious, heavy colas starting to form. The vigor on this one is insane. ​Nebula 2: On the shorter side, but she’s a dense little monster! She’s packing on mass with super tight, rock-solid flower clusters. She might be the shortest, but she’s making up for it in density. ​Caramba: Looking just as healthy and vibrant as the others! She’s settling in nicely with the rest of the crew and responding great to the feeding schedule. She’s got a beautiful structure and is definitely ready to pack on weight. ​Did some light maintenance today—trimmed off some of the lower, older fan leaves to improve airflow and direct all that energy into the main tops. The tent is smelling absolute gas, and the structure is looking exactly how I want it for the second half of flowering. ​Everything is dialed in, and the Spider Farmer gear is doing its thing. Time to watch these flowers swell up! ​Stay growing, fam! 🌴🔥
