- 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.

Hello Diary.
The second week of flowering is behind me. I did a little defoliation this week, I honestly didn鈥檛 dare remove more leaves and branches, I didn鈥檛 know how they would react to it. Maybe I needed more?
The temperature is still high, sometimes rising to 29, 30 degrees, but mostly around 28. Humidity in the air is an average of about 55% but sometimes rises to 60%. The problem is frequent rains this summer which creates high humidity in the air and this affects the humidity in the box as well. But plants tolerate these conditions very well.
The flowers are developing nicely, and they have started to smell as well, but let the pictures speak for themselves.
Green Gelato is twice as small compared to her roommates, but there is still a big crowd in the box. Gelato grew with very dense branches and spread more than it grew in height. The 120 x 60 box size is perhaps too small for three plants (two Hulkberries and one Green Gelato), so the real jungle is in the box.
Due to the height of the Hulkberry in the box, and the spreading branches, it has become difficult to take them out every week for photography, but I am extremely careful with them.
The Green Gelato has grown to 48 cm and does not look like it will grow much in height. Probably due to the excessive distance from the light, which I had to raise because of the Hulkberry which reached a height of 1m.
18/07/2020. - Day 30.
Defoliation. I removed the leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make it easier for me to water them, after that I watered the plants but this time I didn鈥檛 put BioBizz, I just watered them with clean water.
21/07/2020. - Day 33.
Watering. This time I gave them BioBizz, on schedule for the second week of flowering. I also added CalMag 1.5ml / L, preventively. While they don鈥檛 show they鈥檙e missing anything, I鈥檒l keep adding CalMag.
23/07/2020. - Day 35.
Photography and height measurement.
Green Gelato Auto - Day 35. - 48cm
That鈥檚 all for this week, see you soon.

From the get go the smell these ladies gives off is very nice and sweet , the plant had grown very well from a while until I had made some mistakes but she always tried to fight threw it . This girl will begin her flush now and that will take about two weeks .. here's to hoping for healthy strong plants at harvest ..

This girl is also unbelievable at 30 inches she is grand. The growth has been amazing again. She is looking great.
I have added 1000 watt Hps for supplemental light. 4 and a 1/2 hrs of extra light. I have split that into 2 and a 1/2 hours in the evening and 2 hours in the morning. I think that puts me somewhere in the area of 16 to 17 hours of light.

Dutch Passion - Melonads Runtz Harvest
We鈥檝e completed this amazing grow, and I must say, we truly enjoyed it! The plant grew easily and initially had a bush-like shape, but later, it transformed into a Christmas tree look. The aroma is incredibly delicious, and the yield is impressive. The buds are dense and covered in resin; while trimming, our fingers were coated in such a thick layer of sticky resin that the scissors wouldn鈥檛 cut the leaves anymore.
We want to extend our gratitude to Dutch Passion for such an amazing strain鈥攚e absolutely loved growing it. We also want to give a huge thanks to Xpert Nutrients for the outstanding fertilizer that has helped us grow such beautiful and powerful plants year after year. Without your products, it would have been much harder to achieve these results. The nutrients are easy to use and of exceptional quality!
Why I Choose Xpert Nutrients:
When it comes to growing strong, healthy plants, choosing the right fertilizer is key. After several years of experience in indoor cultivation, I can confidently say that Xpert Nutrients stands out from the rest, and here鈥檚 why:
1. Unmatched Quality: From the very first use, it鈥檚 clear that Xpert Nutrients is made from premium, high-quality ingredients. Every bottle is consistent, and the nutrients are perfectly balanced for each stage of the plant鈥檚 growth cycle. This attention to detail has allowed me to grow incredibly healthy plants with powerful roots, lush foliage, and dense, resin-packed buds.
2. Easy to Use: No complicated mixing instructions or guessing games. Xpert Nutrients provides clear guidelines, and I never have to worry about whether I鈥檓 giving too much or too little. The nutrients dissolve perfectly in water, leaving no residue or sediment in my system, making feeding a breeze.
3. Consistent Results Every Time: I鈥檝e used Xpert Nutrients across multiple grows, and the results are consistently impressive. My plants grow faster, are more robust, and yield more, whether I鈥檓 growing autoflowers or photoperiod plants. Each time, the buds come out dense, sticky, and packed with potency.
4. Boosts Potency and Flavor: One thing I鈥檝e noticed is that Xpert Nutrients doesn鈥檛 just help with growth; it also boosts the aroma and flavor of the final product. My plants consistently produce some of the most aromatic and flavorful buds I鈥檝e ever grown, making each harvest a true sensory experience.
5. Optimal Performance with Every Strain: Whether I鈥檓 growing strains from Dutch Passion, Anesia Seeds, or Humboldt, Xpert Nutrients works wonders with all of them. I can rely on it to provide the essential nutrients my plants need to thrive, no matter the strain or growing conditions.
6. Support and Trust: The customer service and support from the Xpert Nutrients team have been incredible. They genuinely care about their customers' success and are always ready to provide advice and guidance. Knowing I have such a supportive company behind me is invaluable.
After years of growing, I鈥檝e tried a lot of different fertilizers, but Xpert Nutrients has consistently delivered the best results. It鈥檚 a product I trust, and it never lets me down. If you鈥檙e serious about growing the best plants possible, Xpert Nutrients is a game-changer you can鈥檛 afford to miss.

One of my favourite plants to grow so far. I learned a TREMENDOUS amount, especially all the ins and outs of supercropping. Although I did end up breaking my stalk, she turned out quite nice! I can definitely see myself supercropping plants in the future just to play around. The terpenes are also really nice on this girl. I can't wait to make some bubble hash and rosin. And I generally can't wait to grow this girl again knowing what she needs now in terms of training. Will also be nice to see the difference with organic dry amendments vs the FF wet nutrients I used.
