- 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.

Ehi ragazzi come va tutto bene? 💪 Ah me si!😼la settimana è stata fruttuosa piena di novità e di progetti studiati che si stanno moltiplicando sia nella mia mente che anche nella realtà! Lasciamo perdere questa divagazione, .. posso dire che l esperimento di fare crescere questo F1 hibrido speciale in outdoor con un ciclo di luce naturale ,sia un esperimento davvero molto interessante per la comprensione delle diverse ore di luce e gli agenti ambientali, quindi variabili ambientali incontrollate, e si vedrà come crescera questa meraviglia della natura! 🧙♂️🌿🌲 Ringrazio RQS per aver reso questo progetto possibile ! Vi adoro a tutti ❤️💕 buon 420 a tutti! 😼😽🐈💨😂😼

What's up Growmies🤟🏽. Week # 8 is in the books🙌🏾
Hello week #9💪🏾
I went a little overboard on pictures this week, they are so happy and healthy that I got carried away. I know we are supposed to post pictures with the lights off, however it's something about the contrast it gives with the lights on that makes it look sexy to me😁.
I have had to tie the stalks of both White LSD plants due to heavy sagging. I'm noticing with this strain the stalks seem to topple over even though the buds are far from fully developed. A trellis net probably would be ideal however I hate them. They are easy to put on but very difficult to take off come harvest. I use garden wire and string them as if they are puppets being controlled by the puppet master🤪.
I continue my feeding schedule with the recommended "bloom" concoction using general hydroponics Flora series trio. I give them 1 liter every 3 days. I have them on a 2 to 2 cycle (feed them twice with nutes and then twice with plan water) I keep the p.h. around 6.1 to 6.6.
Temps and humidity are in the perfect range I'm enjoying it while it last because spring and summer in VA makes it difficult to keep the humidity in check.
All in all everything is going well for me and my ladies. I hope the same for all of you.
Until next week my friends Happy Growing 🤟🏽 and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

So zum Wichtigen 🤪🤤🍯🍯🍯🍈
Gepresst wurden 64 G Smalls von Fresca Melon die ganz unten wuchsen, also eigentlich die Reste der Reste 🤣
&
30 G Permanent Marker aber Tops 😎🤤
Welche ich leider nicht weiter Dokumentiert hatte bis auf das Jar, was mit 8,3 g da steht, also anders heftige Ausbeute!
Die 64 g smalls hatte ich zuvor eingefroren und wollte diese waschen, da das nicht so geklappt hatte dachte ich mir nochmal trocknen und pressen…
Alle wurden in 90 Micron Bags gepresst,
Tatsächlich bis 6000 psi was im Nachhinein wohl zu gut gemeint war aber sei es drum…
Aus 64 g trocken Fresca Melon 1,5 Wochen getrocknet im Cure Fridge Self Made, sind insgesamt ca 7 g raus gekommen, dafür das es echt fluffige smalls waren ganz gut, Rosin riecht super und schmeckt sehr lecker, solange man unter 210 C bleibt beim dampfen bleiben die Lipide etc. im Banger und man hat keinen Reiz oder Ähnliches. Geschmacklich und Wirkung super keine Frage.
Aus den 30 G Headbuds vom Permanent Marker sind tatsächlich heftige 8,1 G raus gekommen.
Diese haben bereits 1 Monat + cure hinter sich und nach dem Pressen war die Konsistenz bereits wie Butter, müsste nicht einmal Wippen aber habs trotzdem getan.
Alle rosins wurden nach 7-10 Tagen gewipped.
Werde in Zukunft den Großteil meiner Beute zu Rosin verarbeiten da ich das viel lieber dampfe, die Wirkung viel angenehmer und cleaner ist.
🤪🤤🍈🍯

This girl scout cookie is a big girl next to here Bruce Banner sister, and about 3weeks younger.
I've not done much this week, tucked away any leaves covering bud sites and trimmed about 3 leaves that couldn't be tucked.
Biobizz triple, bloom, grow and top max. Homemade nuits and just tap water.
She's taken up her canopy space up in the grow cupboad so she's all set.

This girl is a monster. All the other girls got chopped over the weekend but she wasn’t ready. Now she gets the tent to herself and she is loving it. I bent all her branches down as much as I could to spread her out even more. I’m thinking a week, maybe two left. The other girls are hang drying and once they are done I can trim, weigh, take pictures and then I’ll update my harvests!

Well let me start out by saying DONT LISTEN TO YOUTUBE BULLSHI** .. LOL almost lost all of my plants to nutrient burn it completely ate my Blueberry #1 and took out one of my washing machines.. I have my (WM) chilling out in the 2 gallon pot still and probably will flower it in there.. good thing is I got more space now for my other babies!! We flushed the 2 gallon pots completely and transplanted as soon as we could to stop any more damage from happening. Thankfully saved 8 of the 10 girls and brought them back to full health . I can definitely tell how much it slowed them down because now that they have the right climate and feed they’ve been exploding in growth ..///I wanted to do my own thing when it came to training so I had a couple experiments 🧐 I honestly can’t wait for this grow to finish because I’m bringing in an auto pot system for the next run I’ll be running some fire (Wet Betty seeds from exotic genetics) well anyways here they are!!

Durante esta semana, solo se regaron una vez, debido a sucesivos días de lluvia, provocando humedad alta en el armario de cultivo.
En el riego agregue al agua, Biofuse (bacterias beneficiosas), segundo riego con éstas ya que fueron transplantadas.

Look awful... I know! 😔
Wasn't planning to LST these, but one of them was stretching more than I had anticipated... seemed pretty flexible still so decided to give it a go! 😅
I know its a bit late in the process, but lets see how they respond! 😉
Group video included to compensate. 😎

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~
This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end.
Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal!
FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍
Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts.
On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4.
So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System:
Positives:
• Well made
• Easy to assemble
• Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available
• Easily expandable
Negatives:
• Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed
• No way to control solution temperature in reservoir
• Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days
• No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not.
• Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants.
• Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup.
All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!
