May 17, 2024 Day 92 We are at the end. Tropicana Cookies is in the dry tent having a nice 48 hours of dark. Tropicana C is now in the back of the tent with the 4 Sour Diesels up front. Yes I Tetrised the shit out of it to get them in. But everything is snug. Tropicana Cookies is officially done with the main tent and is now in the dry tent for dark. I defoliated her up yesterday and only left the sugar leaves on. No sense in keeping the fan leaves on the plant if it's going to be pitch black for 2 days. Plus it's much easier to manage. And will be much easier at trimming time. She is also nearly dried out. Just perfect timing for this part. I just hope I'm not too early. Trichomes are almost all cloudy and there's a good 10% amber. A couple more days and in the dark should help them mature right along. Tropicana C is still a hot floppy mess, but the tops have some potential. I think the majority of this plant will end up being pressed for concentrate. I wish I had a bubble washer. Oh well. Pressing flower is the option then. Anyway, she isn't quite fading still, so I'm hoping for that over the next couple of days. If not, then I'll defoliate and put her in the dark for a couple days as well. Her buds are all purple and that's what matters. She has about 5% amber trichomes and maybe 10% clear. Not enough cloudy for my taste. 4 more days? Maybe. 2 in the main tent and 2 more in the dark tent. I'm still trying to free up space for the Sour Diesels. The light doesn't matter really anymore. She isn't growing at all and her buds are probably as big as they are getting. It's just a matter of ripening now. Don't really need a lot of light for that part. But still, I'm leaving the light as it is. Especially now that the Sour Diesels are in there. The environment pisses me off. How the holy hell can I change the temp by 5 degrees and have no impact whatsoever on the humidity? Seriously. The temp is climbing a bit. I have to keep an eye on it as it's going above 78° and I don't want to melt my trichomes. Back down to 74° with the stupid humidity stuck at 62%. Annoying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick update: I had to increase the light power to accommodate the Sour Diesels now in the tent. They needed 200 to 25 mol/m²/d, so the light power as increased to 80%. The DLI only increased a couple points. No at 38 mol/m²/d. Everything looks fine. May 18, 2024 Nothing going on today. Tropicana Cookies is finishing up day 1 of dark. The humidity is a nightmare in the tent. It keeps climbing over 66%. I've tried everything at my disposal. Leave the tent door open, dehumidifier in the bedroom, dehumidifier in the tent? I don't think I tried that yet. I have 2 dehumidifiers in the main tent trying to keep the humidity down in there to no avail. I'm not bothering with trichomes today. I'll check trichomes tomorrow afternoon when she finishes up day 2 of dark. I may have to keep her in for a 3rd day. We shall see. Tropicana C needs to get out of the tent ASAP. Her floppy tops are flopping right over the sour Diesels, which are growing vigorously. 2 of them grew 2" last night alone. They need the room now. Tropicana C just isn't ready for the dark tent yet. Maybe a few more days? She's just starting to show signs of fading now. I'll check trichomes tomorrow as well. The lighting is of no concern. It's making the tent too hot, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything to Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies doesn't have light. Lol. The environment is a nightmare. Humidity is WAY too high. And now the temp is too high. No matter what I do, I can't control it at all. The temp is 77° and the humidity is still ridiculous at 66%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.2% 1.05 kPa Update: so I was researching other issues high humidity can cause. It slows down production and the plant won't drink because there is too much moisture in the air. It makes total sense. All of the flowering plants are taking forever to finish up. Now I think I know why. Also, I added 1/2 gallon of plain water to Tropicana C reservoir. As she isn't quite done yet, I would rather her have a source of water if she needs or wants it. I added one of the dehumidifiers to the dark tent with Tropicana Cookies. Now the humidity is around 51% with the temp hanging out around 76° to 77°. It spiked into 79° earlier, but I was messing with the heat in my room. May 19, 2024 Busy day today. No watering or anything, but a very busy day. Tropicana Cookies was wet trimmed and chopped down today. It took 94 days total from seed to harvest. After wet trimming, her total wet weight was 14 oz. A bit surprising to me. I was honestly thinking closer to like 9 oz, but I'll take it. Trimming took roughly 4 hours. I'm not sure why, but it did. I'm slow I guess. There was no sense in trying to keep the trimmings for this round. There really wasn't much and I need a bigger table to catch it all. Messy. I've also discovered that the majority of the buds are a bit loose. Mostly the lowers and some of the middles, but the tops are mostly good. I think based on my own mistakes, I'll be using the majority of this plant for concentrate. Maybe the whole plant. We will see. It all depends on how it dries and what the end result is. Both plants were not very happy with my nutrient regimen. Oh well. A lesson well learned. Tropicana C is still floppy as ever, but now instead of a near black purple, she's almost like magenta or something. Dark pink? Lol. Something like that. She's starting to fade now and most of her tops are all colored. I'm just waiting for the fan leaves to catch up. I'll keep her in the tent for as long as I can. Maybe 3 more days? Maybe. Her buds are definitely loose in the bottoms. The mids and tops are pretty nice. We'll see how they look after wet trimming. The dry tent is hanging out at 70° and 61% humidity. I'd love it to go down to 65°, but for some reason it won't. I'll get it right in no time. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.3% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 We have fade! Tropicana C is finally starting to fade. Light green leaves coming in with purple hues. The buds are basically pink, it I expect them to get darker as she moves along. Tropicana Cookies Day 1 Drying. She looks good. Not much to report. She's drying. It could take between 5 and 7 days. Due to her smaller buds and the wet trim I did, I don't expect her to take very long to dry. And it seems that the environment is pretty nice. 61% humidity and 68°. The temperature could be lower though. Tropicana C looks good. Still super floppy, but she has pretty buds. Not very tight buds. I'll do the same wet trim as well. She should end up drying after about 5 days. For now, she's drying her soil out and fading at the same time. I might give her another half gallon just to tie her over until harvest. I also plan on defoliation in the next few days after the fade is well underway. The light is the same. No changes there. The environment is still wonky. The temp is at 74° which I finally got control of again. The humidity on the other hand is still super high at 65%. I really don't understand. It was 40% humidity out yesterday and even with the outside door wide open, the humidity did nothing to drop. Nothing at all. It's weird. It's back to being humid today, so no opening the door. Hopefully I can get it to clear up ASAP. Oh, I did just learn that the central air isn't working either. And that is the main source of cool dry air. With none, I'm stuck using a portable AC that just blows wet air back into the room when the condenser is off. Stupid design. Very stupid. Even the dehumidifier function doesn't work right. It does the same thing except with heat. So my room gets too warm but the humidity stays the same. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 Day 2 of drying for Tropicana Cookies. The whole plant shrunk to half its size. Small tight buds. As I said before, the majority of this plant will most likely be pressed. We shall see. Tropicana C is showing way more fade now. Like twice as much as yesterday. It's coming on fast and hopefully that means she's finishing up fast. I checked her trichomes today. Looking good. She definitely needs way more amber though. But has much less clear. So it's mostly cloudy, but definitely nowhere near enough amber. What's funny is how floppy she is. One would think those buds wouldn't develop properly, but they are swelling and getting more purple just like the rest of the plant. Interesting. I still don't know what happened here, but I'm guessing it has all to do with the nutrients this run. Bad timing. This plant may also be mostly pressed. Her buds aren't as dense as Tropicana Cookies and they are definitely not tight. Unless by some miracle, they blow up and fill in over the next few days. We shall see. The environment is finally leveling out now that the central air is on. Finally. It won't drop the humidity all the way to the low 40s%, but it will drop it below 55%. And that's keeps the tent below 60% and put of the danger zone for mold. However, I know it's still too high for the plant to perform at max potential, but it's the best I can do for now. Once it kicks on again, the humidity will hopefully drop to 50%, then maybe my dehumidifiers will start working as they are meant to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Tropicana Cookies day 3 of drying. I haven't weighed her up yet to see how far along she is. I'm really not expecting her to take very long at all. Her buds are small so she should be done in a couple more days. Tropicana C is fading quite quickly. Looking really close to finishing up. However, the Sour Diesels in the tent are already in pre-flower and are starting to stretch. The need space ASAP. So I think I'll harvest her whole tomorrow she's not very leafy and I don't think she will get mold at all. She still has super loose buds so she will dry up within 5 to 7 days I think. Even at 60% RH, I think. On the other hand, she was way too dry, so I added a half gallon to the reservoir. I was planning on harvesting in a couple days, but I don't think I have that much time anymore. Originally I was going to wet trim Tropicana C just like Tropicana Cookies, but her branches are way too weak and floppy to trim without snapping branch after branch. So as I said earlier, I'll be dry trimming her instead. The environment is back to being wonky. The central air hasn't turned on yet today and it's 85° out. So my room is suffering a bit with my crappy portable AC. It blows wet air when the compressor turns off. So the humidity is back up above 60%. The temp is fine at 75°, so I'm opening the tent periodically until the AC turns on. I also added a new trichome video for Tropicana C. Getting really close. Let me know how close I am? Or does it not really matter at this point? Update: I decided to completely defoliate Tropicana C. I don't know I will do. Full wet trim. The buds are small and so are the branches. So there shouldn't be any issues with the higher humidity. I'll be doing it in sessions as not to stink up the whole house. But basically anything with a stem I can access is getting cut off. Who knows, maybe I'll finish defoliating fst than I think and will wet trim anyway. She is definitely getting harvested tomorrow. I'm completely out of space for the Sour Diesels. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 Tropicana Cookies Day 4 Drying. I have a moisture meter for the stems and will be using that tomorrow to see how far along she is. Still a couple more days I think. It might be Harvest Day for Tropicana C! Honestly, I would have liked a little more time, but I have other plants that need the space. So I'm wet trimming her today and will harvest later tonight or maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Either way, she is done even if she's not. I'll take one last Trichome Video after I'm done trimming. Then I can see if she's actually ready or not. Maybe she is. I don't think so though. Not much else for today. Unless I harvest, then I'll update. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.2° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.18 kPa

Dutch Passions Shaman Die zwei Schamaninnen entwickeln sich sehr schön. Sie sind auf 75 Zentimeter gewachsen. Ich habe mich gegen das Umtopfen entschieden. Zum Einen, weil ich die beiden mobil halten will und zum Anderen um sie nicht zu stressen. Ich werde die beiden gut beobachten und in den nächsten Tagen mit Kompost, frischem Mulch und Beinwell Jauche nach düngen.

Plant is growing well. Transplanted them from a 1 gallon pot into a 3 gallon pot this week.

Hallo Freunde 👋 Dream Sherbet ist 70 Tage Alt und verwandelt sich nun in einen Winter Traum! Sie wird nun jeden Tag Dichter und zuckert sich zu! Bin sehr gespannt wie sie nächste Woche aussieht bis dahin keep Green! ✌️🍀🧡🍀

Siamo alle battute finali finalmente, due settimane/20 giorni e dovrebbero essere pronte. Devo dire di essere soddisfatto, anche se speravo si gonfiassero ancora i fiori, magri nel tempo che rimane.. Ho sfiorato i 36 gradi, forse è anche dovuto a questo. Sicuramente non la farò più in pieno giorno in piena estate 🤣.. Rimane comunque il raccolto migliore nell'ultimo anno e mezzo, in attesa di pesare tutto.. Spero di arrivare al mezzo kg, sembrerebbe di sì..

YESTERDAY BAD THINGH HAPPENED. I realized that the PH meter was broken and the PH res were very much lower than what I guessed!! The roots was immerged from many days in a really acid solution. So I completely changed the res and eliminated all the rotten branches (that was many). I hope my girl will survive to this bad stress. Finger crossed New Res: 11/06 EC: 1,24 PH: 5,97 12/06 EC: 1447 PH: 6,38 13/06 EC: 1335 PH: 6,16 14/06 From now on, I will give only GHE Ripen (Final Part) to her. Planning to change the res on Friday, for the last two weeks of ripening with only ripen and bio bloom, adjusting the PH whenever above 6 to give some relief to her after 13 days in an acid solution. she seems to recover now (fingers crossed) Today I added 1L with 5ml of ripen and 4 drops of Bio Bloom and PH+ to raise up until 6,4. Now the res is: EC: 1403 PH: 6,45 15/06 The girl is survived and this is the only news I would like to hear! Now the PH is stable and the acid solution should be finally gone. From now on I will dispense only RIPEN: added 1l with 4 ml of ripen. On Friday night I will add florakleen for 24 hours and then on Saturday night new res with only ripen and Bio bloom before the final flush. Today situation is: EC: 1494 PH: 6,25 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: CHANGE THE SOLUTION EVERY 10 DAYS AT MOST (BETTER EVERY WEEK) BEFORE TO CHANGE THE SOLUTION LET FLASH CLEAN RUNS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE OLD SOLUTION PAY ATTENTION WHEN THE FLOWERING STOPS AND THE RIPENING STARTS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 16/06 Finally the PH restarts raising. Maybe this means the roots have finished to drain the previous acid res. I'm happy of that ! The EC is still raising, so I put less Ripen in the new added water. She's drinking a lot. I added 4 L of water today EC: 1655 PH: 6,26 17/06 Added 1L with only Ripen and Hydroguard Ready to change the solution the next week EC: 1684 PH: 6,17

Sind heute angekommen; sollte auch Erde jetzt die Tage bekommen, werde sie wahrscheinlich noch in 1,5L eintopfen. Bisschen fertig, wie immer am ersten Tag. ...ist die buschigste.

Harvest day for this girl!!! Only 50g dry but it could have been much worse had I not scraped 2" of the depleted soil she was in and replaced with fresh compost in week 3. This has actually been a turning point in my growing and learning. She is a fab high sativa strain. Very frosty.

Hier hab ich die Bilder aus Mitte der 6. Blütewoche und das Video Anfang 7. Blütewoche kombiniert. Hier sieht man, dass die zwei die Umstellung von Licht und Temperatur nicht so gut vertragen haben. In dem Video habe ich schon einige gelbe Blätter entfernt. Nur die, die auch sehr trocken aussahen. Zudem habe ich noch einen kleiner zweiten Ventilator installiert um eine bessere Umluft zu generieren Here I've combined the pictures from the middle of the 6th week of flowering with the video from the beginning of the 7th week. You can see that the two plants didn't tolerate the change in light and temperature very well. In the video, I've already removed some yellow leaves—only those that looked very dry. I also installed a small second fan to generate better air circulation.

July 5th. 21 days post flip Clone#1: Got chopped a few weeks back had balls. Clone#2 Really liking this one going into flower. Buds seem to be the closest in structure so hoping to get some semi dense bugs from this one. Will see how it develops! Clone#3 Started off real small and absolutely exploded in stretch. Bud structure is interesting so far not sure how it’ll end up we will see! Clone#4 This thing has been and continues to be an absolute monster. Least dense bud structure of all three though. This one might be a sativa sativa. Mothers/father All are growing well. Going to get topped tmmr on the 6th to stunt them again to slow them down while the clones finish. All 4 clones At one point two of them were touching the light and almost all the tops were within an inch or two of the light. After this they were growing well above the lights. This caused bleaching on the ones within inches and burnt the two that touched the light. I’ve since super cropped them violently to force them back under the light. At this point all the tops are about 6 inches from the light but they seem happy. I still have one top a couple inches away that I’m using as a test to see how much light these things can handle. So far they are monsters with handling the lights. You can see the tops within 6 inches are no longer pointing leaves upwards. The one within an inch is pointing upwards to decrease its surface area. Nothing but water so far and will continue to be nothing but water they don’t seem hungry yet. Will give build a flower in a week or two. You’ll notice I didn’t provide the heights this week for the plants. At this point it’s just because how difficult they are to measure. Praying they stop getting taller within the next few days. Very little smell so far, I expect to start getting something here in the coming weeks. Gob bless and happy growing guys!

Los cogollos están densos, resinosos y bien formados, con un aroma dulce y afrutado que se intensifica durante el secado. Los tricomas son abundantes, lo que promete una buena cantidad de resina y un fuerte contenido de THC. La planta ha mostrado una buena resistencia a plagas y enfermedades durante su cultivo, y la producción ha sido generosa. El sabor es delicioso, con una mezcla de frutas tropicales y un toque de melón, que es lo que caracteriza a esta cepa. En cuanto al efecto, es potente pero equilibrado, ideal para relajarse sin sentirse completamente somnoliento. En resumen, una excelente cosecha tanto en cantidad como en calidad.

Works?

6° Semana- Aeroponía - Están muy bellas las raíces, están 100% sanas. Se realiza poda apical al quinto nodo,una pequeña defoliación y luego se aplica LST a las más grandes, muy contento con el crecimiento actual. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6th Week- Aeroponics - The roots are very beautiful, they are 100% healthy. The fifth node is topped, and a little defoliation and then LST is applied to the largest ones, very happy with the current growth.

Uma planta que ainda está para ser testada em questão de uso, no planteio foi meia fraquinha mas devido ás circunstancias. Semente na terra no dia 17-04-2024 e cortada no dia 07-07-2024, 81 dias de vida!!!!!

Week 3 all is fine growing as they should be and responding good tonthe 24 hours of light

Rocko’s Runtz Rumble – Tag 77 🌱👊💚 Blütewoche 4 – Blütetag 28 Blütenentwicklung 🌸 Die vierte Blütewoche ist geschafft und ich bin mit der Entwicklung weiterhin sehr zufrieden. Die Blüten legen ordentlich zu und die Unterschiede zwischen den drei Sorten werden immer deutlicher. Pink Banana Runtz entwickelt sich langsam zum kleinen Schwergewicht. Ihre Blüten sind deutlich dicker und kompakter als bei den beiden anderen. Durch die kurzen Internodien sitzen die Blütenansätze schön dicht beieinander. Melonade Runtz zeigt dagegen eine eher offene, längliche und teilweise etwas strubbelige Blütenstruktur. Sie bleibt außerdem meine empfindlichste Kandidatin. Einige Blattspitzen sind beschädigt und vereinzelt zeigen sich kleinere Nekrosen. Blue Zushi überrascht mich mit einer Blütenstruktur, die Melonade ziemlich ähnlich sieht. Auch hier entwickeln sich längliche, teilweise turmartige Blütenansätze, allerdings etwas kompakter. Dazu kommt eine bereits sehr schöne Harzbildung. Bei allen drei Pflanzen konnte ich diese Woche auffällig aufgerichtete Blätter beobachten. Besonders Blue Zushi zeigte richtig schöne Praying Leaves. Das sehe ich natürlich gerne! 😎 Die endgültigen Pflanzenhöhen liegen bei 115 cm für Melonade, 105 cm für Pinky und 131 cm für Blue Zushi. Letztere steht allerdings im kleineren Topf und damit etwas tiefer als die beiden anderen. Klima und Technik 🌡️ Die Entfeuchtung läuft inzwischen über den HYDRONE 5. Mein Ziel ist ein VPD zwischen 1,4 und 1,6 kPa. Ganz so konstant bekomme ich das noch nicht hin, aber auch mit Werten über 1,1 kPa bin ich schon zufrieden. Die Klimaregelung funktioniert grundsätzlich gut, auch wenn es noch einige Schwankungen gibt. Die zusätzlichen Under-Canopy-Bars laufen ebenfalls weiter. Ob die mittlere Blütenzone davon wirklich profitiert, wird sich in den kommenden Wochen zeigen. Bewässerung und Nährstoffe 💧 Inzwischen sind auch die Dripper installiert und ich bin wirklich zufrieden damit! Die Pflanzen bekommen jetzt regelmäßig ihre Grundversorgung mit Leitungswasser und etwas Mono-Magnesium. Das funktioniert erstaunlich gut und ist eine echte Erleichterung. Vor allem läuft die Bewässerung jetzt viel gleichmäßiger. Beim Gießen von Hand trifft man ja doch nicht jeden Tag exakt die gleiche Menge oder den gleichen Zeitpunkt. Die Pflanzen scheinen die regelmäßige Versorgung jedenfalls zu mögen. 😎 Die zusätzliche Düngung läuft über Handgießungen. Dafür lasse ich bei Bedarf einfach ein Bewässerungsintervall aus und gebe stattdessen eine kleine Portion Nährlösung. Die eigentliche Nährstoffversorgung übernehmen nach wie vor die BioTabs und die vorgedüngte Erde. Viel zusätzlich düngen muss ich also gar nicht. Green Bull gibt’s einfach als kleine Unterstützung, damit die Pflanzen mit Stress durch Licht und Klima besser klarkommen und die vorhandenen Nährstoffe möglichst gut verwerten. Natürlich alles schön sparsam dosiert. Pinky und Blue Zushi haben außerdem schon etwas PK-Blütedünger zur Unterstützung der Blütenentwicklung bekommen. Bei Melonade bin ich wegen ihrer empfindlicheren Reaktion weiterhin etwas vorsichtiger. Schädlingsbekämpfung 🐛 Die Thripse beschäftigen mich leider weiterhin. Deshalb habe ich erneut Amblyseius swirskii und Florfliegenlarven ausgebracht. Die kleinen Helfer sollen den Schädlingsdruck weiter reduzieren. Ich hoffe, dass ich die Sache damit biologisch unter Kontrolle halten kann. Fazit 🌱 Insgesamt bin ich mit der vierten Blütewoche sehr zufrieden. Jede Sorte zeigt inzwischen deutlich ihren eigenen Charakter. Pinky setzt auf dicke, kompakte Blüten, Melonade bleibt etwas wilder und empfindlicher, während Blue Zushi mit kräftigem Wachstum und schöner Harzbildung überzeugt. Besonders spannend finde ich die überraschend ähnliche Blütenstruktur von Melonade und Blue Zushi. Mal sehen, wie unterschiedlich die beiden am Ende tatsächlich werden. Alle drei können jetzt entspannt in die nächste Blütewoche cruisen. Ich lehn mich zurück und genieße die Show. 😎👊 Am Ende zählt nur, welche Runtz am härtesten rumblet! 🌱💚

She's almost ready to come down and the flowers are pretty nice size, with good trichome build-up. She smells funky but creamy sweat.
