********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination ***********
*
It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍
This week she continued to fill in and she also pushed out more frosty tricombs!! The fade happened this week more and she fed off of more of the nutrients within the plant.....perfect😃......would like a little more even but she was ready based on tricombs. Would like to have seen the lower leaves a little more yellow but its good.
I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍
Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃
Not really a lot more to add this week as it was mainly looking at the tricombs and her buds. The pH will impact the harvest but she has been fun to grow and very resilient to pest and bug issues as well as grower curve balls. As always.......nice job Sweet Seeds....... SWS56 is very solid and I look forward to running her again one day. Beautiful little girl and makes me smile😃😃😃
Little more detail......
June 20/20 - Day 71
- Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0pH
- 8L given to get a good flush....pH still running around 7.4
- Runoff in pots already were 7.9pH and 685ppm.
- after 8L water runoff was 7.4pH and 360ppm.
- she is 20” tall and 24” wide.
- a number of clear tricombs but more becoming cloudy.
June 21/20 - Day 72
- dry out day.
- buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐
June 22/20 - Day 73
- Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!!
- Given 2L watering.
- No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium.
- her frost levels are really coming out now.....was able to lower tent temps to 75 degrees and 51% humidity......its been raining a bit so damn humidity has been high.
June 23/20 - Day 74
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!!
- not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can
- her tops are getting more pointy now and ripening nicely
- leaves continue to fade......she is close
- checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday.
June 24/20 - Day 75
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0
- Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture.
- drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole.
- into darkness tonight
So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍
Sweet Seeds girls are very solid genetics with great vigour and resilience.......this strain is no different........great job Sweet Seeds🙏

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito.
Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias.
Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar.
Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza.
Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

Beginning of week 9: Tropicana is 27 cm high and the stem is 38 cm long. Sun is back, rain stopped, happy growing.
Day 57
🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-23 degrees, humidity is between 70 and 80%. Today I checked the PH of my collected rainwater, of the drainage, of my field horsetail tee / manure. With the soil everything is ok I think. PH of the drainage is 5,9. I was very surprised about the high PH of my homemade fertilizer.
Today I took some macro fotos with my new magnifying glasses. I saw the first purple leafs and trichomes everywhere. They are all clear I think. It‘s my first time growing a cannabis plant and I love it!😻
Day 58
🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 13-23 degrees, humidity between 60 and 95%.
Tropicana feels better now with more light. It‘s much brighter during the days but today again cloudy. In my eyes Tropicana looks happy and she is so beautiful. I want to bite in one of those buds, but I will not do yet. Maybe I will take some of the less lighted buds, harvest for tee with cream. I like to vape my cannabis and cook or bake with resin and butter. So I plan to let Tropicana take all the time she needs to produce enough amber medicine.
Day 59
🌤️☀️🌤️⛅️ 12-24 degrees, humidity 65-80%
The smell is incredible. I really like it.
Day 60
🌤️⛅️🌤️🌥️ 11-25 degrees, humidity 62-78%. This morning Tropicana got a bio banana shake which I prepared yesterday evening. I chopped three banana peels and boiled them in one liter of water for short. After I blended them together wit the water and let it stand overnight. Then I sifted the fertilizer in the early morning and gave Tropicana her breakfast: 700ml rainwater and 70ml of my banana fertilizer. The drainage had a PH of 6
On nearly all flowers it‘s possible to find purple colors. The pistils started to change the colors. Our balcony is in the first floor and today it was possible to smell Tropicana down on the street next to the house. 🤭
Day 61
🌤️☀️☀️☀️ 11-26 degrees, humidity 55-75%. Today it was very obvious that Tropicana started fatten up the buds to mature: Different colors, very strong smell, pistils are getting orange. I spotted the first amber trichomes. I could have a nice and potent June harvest but I think it will finish in the first week of July.
Day 62
🌤️⛅️🌤️⛅️ 13-21 degrees, humidity is 50-60%.
Tropicana enjoys the morning sun while I drink a fresh hemp leaf tee and reflect the last two month of my legal balcony grow.
I watered with 700ml pure rainwater. The run off PH ist around 6,3. So I‘m quit sure that the reason for the increase in PH was the watering with the field horsetail manure, which has got a high PH something like more then 7.
Day 63
☀️☀️☀️☀️ 13-20 degrees and the humidity is between 66 and 85 %
Beautiful monday morning. Tropicana asked for a banana smoothie, today 1:20 mixed with 700 ml. pure rainwater. She likes to drink it slowly, so I don‘t water all in one anymore. First maybe 20%, 10 minutes later 30% and after half an hour 50%. If I watered all in one, 100 ml of 700 ml run off. If I water step by step, all of the water stays in the pot. After 24 h the pot is much lighter and I need to water again. She is very thirsty in these days.

The Canna Crumbly cocoa biscuits are always a delicious opportunity to fill up on energy. They are easy to prepare!
Ingredients:
30g Bitter Cocoa
300g flour
200g butter
100g sugar
5 eggs
1 bar of milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts
HOW TO PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE BISCUITS
1. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, cool them and shell them.
2. Blend the egg yolks and set aside.
3. Mix the butter in a bowl with the sugar, add the flour and egg yolks, mix, then add to the mixture a bar of milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts previously blended into small pieces (I used the knife for a coarse mince)
4. Add the cocoa to half of the mixture and let them rest in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
5. At this point, roll out the pastry to about half a centimetre, then create the variegation between the two doughs (here you can have fun), once the biscuits have been formed, arrange them on a baking tray with baking paper and bake everything for 12-15 minutes at 170 degrees.
IMPORTANT: I put double the recommended dosage for the butter, thinking I was an expert smoker, but, next time I will follow the doses because I slept 12 hours, the edibles have a prodigious effect but you need to calibrate well otherwise you risk going to sleep at 8 pm!😇💤

Seeing burned tips makes me feed it differently, 2 days with fulls set of nutrients, 2 days with Cannazym only.
I pruned them a bit more, not sure if it was a good idea but those little branches didn't develop a lot during this time.
On day 4 of the week, after HSO's comment on a weekly report, I've measured runoff and it was insane! 3k-5k ppm
Flushed them all so that runoff was around 800 ppm, and watered them with Cannazym only (PH around 6.1, EC 440 ppm).
Also moved them around a bit
Most likely the reason for conductivity going so high was that I removed the pots from platforms at some point and old runoff was probably soaking in.

Good start off to week 4. I did a 50 litre flush for pheno #1 and she bounced back real good. She is super happy and growth is really starting to pick up. A little more small in the tent now so I’m happy.
I’ve also added bamboo sticks for both plants since I’m not using scrog so no trellis net to stop the plants from falling over once they start to pack on weight. Excited to see how the next couple are gonna go. Hopefully no more issues :)

UPDATE: Day 1 of week 14- Thursday 19th Nov!!!!
Woop woop! We’re getting close, my magnifying lense arrived and I’ve got my first real good look at the trichomes.. All looking fairly cloudy with about 10-15% ambers coming through.
So as we’re super close now I’ve now started flushing. Not doing a run off as have been using Biobizz soil & Nutes. First flush is done and girls are looking happy. One lady seems to have really heavy colas as she’s struggling to stand up straight. So I’ve staked her to keep her more upright. Think she may bring the best yield of all four girls as it stands so far.
Final couple of weeks now, I can’t believe I’ve made it this far and really can’t wait to try my first home grown bud🍃
UPDATE: Day 2 of week 14 - Friday 20th Nov:
Had to water them early as the girls were very dry after their first flush.. I on average water them every 48 hrs, but they were ready after 36. Already noticing some slight discolouration on the leaves 🍁... Glad I didn’t jump the gun and chop them this week after seeing some amber trichomes..
A bit more LST as they had stretched a little. I’m short on lamp to plant distance but noticed what looked like a little leaf burn on one of the tallest nugs. So did what I could to bring the height of them down just a little 👌
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 14 - Sun 22nd Nov:
As soon as the lights went on today, more water seemed required at around 36hrs since the last flush. The girls seem to be loving it!
Buds do seem to be fattening up a little more each day and I think one girl is slight more ahead than the others as she has mostly orange pistils compared to the other three..
Still need to see more amber trichomes on all four ladies before they’re ready!
UPDATE: Day 5 of week 14 - Monday 23rd Nov:
Small amount of LST to keep the girls as even as poss.. Defo seeing some discolouration in the fan leaves now.. All but one of the four girls have nearly completely orange pistils now which are folding back in to the buds. But Trichomes need to be a little more amber before they’re ready.. The fourth lady however is slightly behind with less orange pistils, some white ones still to turn orange and trichomes are still a mix of milky and clear on the lower buds. When I topped this one it didn’t work as well as the others so she has one really massive cola and all the others are much smaller in comparison to the other three plants..
I think we’ve got a week to 10 days left roughly till harvest.
UPDATE: Day 6 of week 14 - Tuesday 24th Nov:
Another water flush again today.. All seems well, lower small buds still need a few more amber trichomes I think.. But gonna post a question on here to make sure.. Don’t wanna get this wrong.
Sooooooo close now and I’ll be seeing 🤩🤩🤩

Eccoci qui...
Finalmente dopo uno stop per il lavoro torno ad aggiornare il diario con il capitolo finale...
Sono molto soddisfatto di come questa piccola sia cresciuta e di quello che mi ha lasciato come raccolto davvero molto molto interessante.
Super resinosa e compatta per non parlare dell'odore, una cosa speciale!!!
Grazie ad Anesia Seed e ad Xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Here we are now,
7 days from seed and looking good. Just been giving water and I did a top dress of earthworm casting and organic fertilizer with mulch over the top. Weather is good for the next while, hoping to get some good growth this next couple weeks
