- Week 7 -
----- Day 43 -----
Fed 1150ppm @ 6.4ph 23 Liters. Hard to get above 1200 ppm now. More molasses being used, maximum Koolbloom dry powder as well.
Tropicanna Glookies is starting to turn purple.
Wedding Cake is fattening up FAST
More photos later this afternoon mid light cycle.
*Update*
Big bulk phase is 100% on right now.
Wedding Cake is thicker than a tall can of beer in 4-5 nugs easily.
Tropicanna Glookies is sweating out trichomes and getting super sticky while slowly turning purple
Great things await for these 2 ladies over the next 20 days.
*Update*
2 close up shots of some purpling on the Tropicanna Glookies.
----- Day 44 -----
Here's a video. slow easy day of nothing
----- Day 45 -----
I see a tiny bit of yellowing at edges, nothing serious. I don't have to feed every 2 days now anyways its slowed to 3.
I top off the ones near turgor pressure loss levels ( I check my whole hand down side of pot for moisture now) with tap water when needed today.
Tomorrow will be feeding ~1000ppm most likely due to using Diamond Nectar chelating nutrients with large amounts of blackstrap molasses when combined and left in the reservoir before use. This seems to drop the detectable ppm even though it retains a high level of nutrient content... with Cal/mag (1-0-0) and KoolBloom Powder which is like a 0-30-40 its wildly powerful.
Back right Tropicanna smells like Pineapple Sour Patch Kids without the sour. Its insane. I wish I had smell o' vision for you folks right now.
Wedding Cake is like sugary sweet but weed esque... earthy esque type of thing. Not the Tropicanna... Shits fruity like kool-aid.
Nugs are getting humongous and its pretty fun to watch it fill in, I had a low level anxiety of it never "Filling" in... but yea it's day 45 and look at Big Bertha... nearly dwarfing my fat ass arm... wild shit.
Feel like these ladies have at least another 14~ days on the lower end. Wedding Cake should finish a week after Tropicanna... Trying to grab Wedding Cake "indica" tendencies and max them by going for 40-50% amber, 60-50% cloudy trichomes with under 2% (like literally 1-3 clear per 60X magnifying pic) clear trichomes. Tropicanna only 20% ish amber until clear is only about 20% of trichome and cloudy makes up roughly 60% of total trichome finishing...
----- Day 46 -----
Easy day
Fed 1050ppm @ 6.4ph 13 Liters only. I want the root zones to dry out more and quicker, less chance of mold and other root rot issues. Cutting watering/feeding in half now but will be feeding prob twice as much.
Buds are fattening FAST and are turning purple.
Looks like I got the purple pheno Wedding Cake. Woot.
----- Day 47 -----
Easy day
Buds are gettin freaky. Really poppin out now. It's quite awesome to see.
**Update**
*** HEIGHT CHANGE EXPLAINED! ***
Took the Tropicanna's off the pot risers I DIY'd and brought them to the floor.
Gives light in between the 2 plants at the side and also helps remove any light burn on the tropicanna, as I have been noticing a very slight tinting of too much light in the central part of the tent.
Plants look incredible, tiny bit of tip burn but im not too worried, I'm feeding 1000-1200 ppm at the moment.
Speaking of which, fed some tap water, 500ml each, they were dry enough to warrant a turgor pressure loss top up.
Feeding tomorrow.
Enjoy some lights off shots.
----- Day 48 -----
Fed @ 1150ppm 6.4ph 13L
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, here's a new video for you guys n gals.
14~ days to go.
----- Day 49 -----
They're getting super thirsty again. woke up dry. gave 500ml tap water each plant.
Will do the same this evening.
Tomorrow feeding going to go to 16 Liters instead of 13 Liters. I'm lazy and don't want to water daily.
Plants look phenomenal, buds are getting massive.
The Wedding Cake on the left is throwing out paintbrushes thick of pistils, it's quite insane. Gonna be a hell of a plant around day 63!!!
Day 53 i'll start checkin trichomes and start posting x20-x60 shots.

The use of monster bloom is really showing. I put it once a week and the next day the flowers are already bigger. It's beautiful! The smell is getting better as well.

This pheno was certainly on roids. The strain being from an autoflower just outpaced every other plant by at least 2 weeks. It produced a whopping 8 ounces.
The colors gave an alien reddish purple glow as if it were from mars. The aroma was that of blueberry cacao, a totally unique chocolatey profile.

D22.
We're at the start of the fourth week, and she loves life and looks healthy and vibrant.
I prepared some Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) today. I started a few days ago by soaking barley and corn in water with fulvic acid and kelp meal, then letting the seeds rest in a moist towel inside a paper bag.
Today, the seeds had sprouted enough, and I put them in a blender with one liter of water and blitzed the hell out of them. The amount of finished tea was sufficient for ten liters of water, so I filled small plastic bags with the leftover tea and put them in the freezer. That way, I can grab a bag whenever without going through the whole sprouting process each time.
I gave her one liter of the SST @ pH 6.5, with some humic acid mixed in.
She also got a light foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent.
Increased DLI to 32 and will start LST tomorrow.
------------------------------
D23.
She had finally grown up enough to get tied down, so I started LST today. Well, barely, as all I did was lean her over.
The branches on the first node are underdeveloped, as they often are due to only having a single-leaf fanleaf to power them. I removed the bottom branch/leaf but kept the top. For now. I'll give it a chance now when it gets more light, but doubtful that I'll keep it.
------------------------------
D25.
I'm adjusting and/or adding LST a couple of times per day.
The soil is still moist and hasn't required any additional watering. (I plan to fill the bottom reservoir for the first time in a few days.)
Other than that, it's smooth sailing. DLI set to 36.
------------------------------
D28.
We're at the end of the fourth week and the last week of veg as she is moving into flower. It already looks like she will be a purple phenotype. Statistically, most are, but I was hoping for a green anyway.
More LST to spread her out. DLI set to 40.

| 📅 Week 3 | Days 15 - 21
| 💡 562w 📏38' |
| 🌡️️🌞 78 - 82 |
| 🌡️️🌑 73 - 77 |
11/23 Reservoir swap with increased nutrients and PH adjusted to 5.8. The plants have been spread out a little more to give them space.
11/24 Temperatures are fine however humidity could use a bump. PH in reservoirs adjusted to 5.6.
11/25 PH adjusted to 5.8 and reservoirs topped off with water. The PH fluctuations have been rough for this strain. It doesn't seem to like the Hydros wavering PH.
11/26 The light was raised a few inches to match growth. PH adjusted to 5.8 and the humidity is still lower than I would like it to be.
11/27 Reservoirs topped off and PH set to 5.8. Fans adjusted to better circulate the air around the tent.
11/28 Daily PHing and reservoir topping as usual. The back right plant is still doing its silly genetic thing as i'm sure it will all grow. Debating on cutting it early and saving the time and tent space.
11/29 PH adjusted to 5.8 and a single reservoir needing topped off. Plants appears to be rebounding from PH fluctuations but its to early to know for certain.
This marks the end of week 3 and the growth was fine and fast like expected from this breeder. The plants have started showing sign of PH fluctuations as these genetics don't seem to enjoy hydroponics to much, however I'm confident in them developing resiliency as they grow and getting past it. I am debating doing a PH twice daily to minimize the PH window. One shows nitrogen toxicity. With these being Autoflowers anything that slows them down is a problem so we are going to see what we can do to minimize the effects the fluctuations have on these plants. I'm confident they will be dank in a few weeks 😎

The time is coming.
Leaves are yellowing and falling down, buds stopped to grow and 50-60% of pistils became orange/brown. I already did few flushing watering. :)

This week seems to have gone fine no major problems to document. Girls are growing strong. Wouldn’t say it been a speedy process going into flowering but I have done some extensive training so that could be the reason for slower growth. Going to leave them alone now let them do there thing this next coming week

Muy buena planta, me ha gustado muchísimo este cultivo, va a salir mucha producción, además que hiper resinosa! Huele fuertisimo a frutas! Cualquiera que le enseño la planta coincide en eso.
Creció muy grande, muy fuerte y muy resistente.
Para un proximo cultivo de autos, que no sé aún ciando será, probaré una fertilización diferente, alargando el nitrogeno un poco mas, y todos los jaleos que explicaba por ahí en otra semana xD.

sprayed neem two times 0.9ml/60ml and 1.7ml/70ml because invasion of the flies hasn't stopped
started adding booster
every other day:
- 1g Booster + 4ml Mono Trace + 6ml Bio Heaven + 200 ml water
- 1g Booster + 2ml CalMag + 5ml Bio Heaven + 200 ml water

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

Not a lot to report this week. The leaf curl has diminished, and all the girls are looking pretty good! This tent is going to fill up quick, using the SoG. Let's see what happens next week!

3/23:
The pistils on all three of these plants suddenly withered, and upon inspection, I see that they're almost ripe.👍
I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time they'll get any nutes, but I may water them once more with sweet & sticky and terpinator.
3/27:
I mixed up water with sweeteners and terpene enhancers and cal-mag, then pulled everybody out of the closet...lo and behold, all 3 of these plants were ready to flush! I can't find my 20x macro lens for my phone, so I'm using my mini-microscope until I can get another mobile device lens kit from Amazon. All three had about 80% cloudy and 10% amber trichs. so I put about 12 gallons of filtered water with Sledgehammer through each one.
Lovely buds, and many of them, but I sure hope they swell up some more!👈
3/29:
I added a few more MicracleLED blue (450nm-470nm) bubs around the garden.
topped raining for a day and my RH is back down to lower 40%'s.
Shortie will go into a dark room tomorrow and her big sister will get fed.

Empezamos semana preocupado llebamos unos dias a mas de 35 grados y mucho sol! Y han aparecido hojas secas creo que falta de nutrientes por culpa del calor y sol directo las dejare ala sombra
Final 7 semana de vegetacion! Esta santa sativa de dinafem es mas complicada de llebar de lo que pensaba espero que pronto se vea mas sana y fuerte

4/28/25 chopped at day 54 of flowering. Top buds have a nice amount of amber trichomes.
was going to let her go another week but the threat of pests made me chop early but its okay shes ready. will update with final weight and smoke report in a week or so.
5/5/25 dried for 7 days and then jarred. i am finding that she was self producing fairly lowkey and successfully. balls and male parts with seeds right below. Probably wont continue with these seeds and i tossed the clones.
This plant is white with the density of trichomes on her. She would probably test fairly high.
