- 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.

Ya se van viendo los primeros pistilos blancos, ya llevan dos semanas de 12 horas de luz, he realizado poda de bajos y he aumentado tanto el PH como la EC para que vayan cogiendo forma las flores, asimilando más fósforo y potasio al estar el PH a 6.3, voy alternando los abonados con un riego de agua, un riego con abono, respetando el rango de PH correspondiente y midiendo la EC para que este a 0.4, si me da menos subo con Calmag de Biobizz, en dos semanas estarán listas para pasar al armario grande, con 300w de led para sus últimas 4 semanas hacer que engorden bien los cogollos, buenos humos!!!!😃

Hello, everyone! 🖐️ This week has been going well too. 🌲 The Christmas trees are growing. I have pruned off almost all the leaves, leaving just a few. I am watering it with plain water. I think it will be ready by the end of the week. Wishing good luck to everyone who is honest and sincere.

Hi Growers.
Everything is going well. Earlier this week I did another super light feeding, the same as last week. I raised the light to 50” and increased the light to 80% and will adjust accordingly per plant and environmental needs. I did notice a bit of yellowing on the PE and yesterday decided to do a stronger feed and go from there. I don’t want them starving and getting stressed into flower. After the first light feeds they popped up nicely so I’m interested to see how they like the higher feed.
Environment wise, I turned on the oscillating fan to just help them strengthen their stocks and branches and still have the humidifier on. Temps & RH are good, no hot temp is a bit cool but it’s only 4 hrs.
What week do you growers start training autos?? I’m starting node 5.
Thanks for stopping, leave a like or comment if you’d like. I appreciate them.
Happy Growing 🌱

Another week! We are closer to the harvest but not much. It rained almost the full week and the majority of pistils turned brown. I could not water with my biobizz and bloombastic. Lucky hat I put coco on them.

Fast Buds has been very kind in extending me the opportunity to try our their new strain C.A. There's not a lot of information out there about this strain yet, other than it is supposed to be indica dominant. No solid leads on the name that I have found. I'd going with a guess of Cali Airlines for now (though I suspect this may be a CBD strain).
Put the seed straight into the soil in the final container (3 gal grow bag) on March 3rd. I'll spray the top of the soil once a day until I see the sprout appear. Then I'll let the tap root do its thing and find the water below in the soil. The soil was watered heavily 2 days before planting the seed, then left in the tent to get the soil to temperature.
My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since Fast Buds has been kind enough to allow me to preview their new CC and CA strains I am now going to be starting a new seed every 2 weeks. This should allow me to get all of the plants I want to grow this season in the perpetual harvest rotation. I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic.
Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water as needed.
I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis).
The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil.
For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around 3 week I'll do a FIM cut/pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope LST only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner.
Setup:
1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72”
2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300)
1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual)
1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts
1- 6” clip-on fan
1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

Flushing begins for the Og kush and blueberry. All three plants are incredibly sticky, stanky, dense and heavy! The OG Kush plants are blowing my mind, I'm amazed at how much they have fattened up the last week.
The super lemon haze starts week 7 and is also sticky and stanky, she's also starting to pack on weight and density.

Strain description from breeder:
Genetic Background: Strawberry#13 x Mimosa
Type: Feminized
Sativa 60% Indica 40%
THC:
CBD:
Yield Indoor : gr/m2
Height Indoor: 0 - 0 cm
Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks ( 58 - 65 days)
Aroma:
Effect:
Expectations and training method:
I know these genetics are a bit delicate so I’ll be taking things very easy.
The breeder suggests topping and training the branches because she can grow fast and tall.
By what I’ve seen from the local growers, she can produce some savory chunky buds which is what I’m aiming for. I’ll follow the breeder’s suggestion and Top/LST which is what I’ll be doing to almost all my other strains as well on this run.
As for the yields I’m not expecting much given the numbers I got from local growers. No more than 40 grams per plant but always aiming for more.
I’ve already smoked this strain grown by the breeder and other local breeders, which is what made me want to grow it myself. I expect nothing but trichomes and terps from these ladies.

Plants are growing at a nice pace especially dealing with the extra high PH runoff
