- WEEK 8 -
----- Day 50 -----
Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on.
Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide.
The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug...
Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH
5-15+ days left.
2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period.
Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember.
I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant.
----- Day 51 -----
Easy day of watching.
Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear.
Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all.
I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go.
I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked.
----- Day 52 -----
Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters
Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week.
Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs.
Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably.
Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl
----- Day 53 -----
Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again.
I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today.
I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only.
Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way.
Colors are going wild.
Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then.
----- Day 54 -----
1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed
Here's some pics.
Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber.
----- Day 55 -----
Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy.
Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies.
Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58
Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses.
----- Day 56 -----
Didnt even bother with ppm/pH.
Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters.
Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa)
God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet...
I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other)
A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock.
6 days for Tropicana.
Probably 8 for Wedding Cake.
Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen.
Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow).
Should be interesting.
*** update ***
Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go?

Last week plants were looking super healthy and responded very well to the second topping so I decided to flip the light schedule few days later. They already started stretching and the smell is noticeably enhanced.

This is a fastflowering test strain and I have no real information on the genetics. I'm guessing the flowering time of 58 days is about right for a fast flowering strain.
I trimmed her after 12 days of drying and got 32g of decent solid buds and 10g of not as dense buds that may go with the trim to make some hash.
Stats for the grow.
FFNA2410=42g
FFNA2411=45g
FFNA2412=43g
Acapulco Gold=44g
Total=174g
Expected hash from trim 28g
Power used for whole grow in 114 days.
Lights=201.7Kw (201.7×0.25)(=£50.42)
201.7÷114=1.769kw per day light average.
Average 100w for veg
Average 150w for flower.
Light average for grow 125w.
174÷125=1.39g/W for the light.

It's about time for her to go in the ground. I've been defoliating the younger leaves which gave her height within the last two weeks. No complaints thus far, she is very healthy.

First grow, if you have any advice or feedback to give me go ahead :). All conditions of the plant will be what the plant is currently at in week 3. I tried to keep it as organic as possible and only cut one of the lower leafs to try to get a clone going.

She's staying nice and short. I can't wait to smell her flowers, I know it's a long ways out if she does bless me with them. I swear I can almost smell them now 😋😁

Harvested the first plant and let her dry. Now I'm trying to cure the buds (updates about taste and effects soon). I let the second plant still grow for another week and gave her 2 days of darkness update soon...
I'm really happy about the result of the first plant. Never thought I get so much gramm out of the first plant. Buds are really dense at the top and look really good. The strain could have a little bit more trichomes. But I'm not complaining, because it was easy to grow and I recommend this strain for every beginner, who want a stealth and easy to grow plant. I need to say, that after 2 weeks in flowering the plant isn't that stealth anymore 😅 so watch out what you doing.
Update: Plant 2 is now harvested. Got 45 gramm out of her. I had to hang her in another room, where the airhumidity is lower than my actual growing room, because on a view spots she was wet and rotten (I .threw the affected buds away). I trimmed her wet. I have noticed on one branch she got a view bananas., which I didn't see during the grow :(. So she also had a view seeds... But I'm happy about the result :D
For everyone who trys this strain --> good luck and happy growing.

SUNDAY 5/19:
I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the two Candesias that had already been flushed twice, and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" 😉
MONDAY:
The big one (Candesia #2) still looks fine after the mega-UVB incident, so she's still sitting in the dark tent. I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody. #2 smells more like an Amnesia than a Candy Cane. Ima kill her tomorrow and let her hang dry. The small one with polyploidy (Candesia #1) in the dark tent, also looked fine, but to keep my workload smaller tomorrow, I went ahead and harvested her today. She smells and looks more Amnesia. She was wet-trimmed and is in a drying basket. The other two (and the mystery plant) are still in the big tent under lights. I will probably start flushing them tomorrow..but maybe they will just get watered..kinda slow to cloudy all the way up.
TUESDAY:
I harvested Candesia #2 today and hung her to dry in the dark tent. She got more of the Candy Cane genetics, but her aroma is special. Candesia #3 got flushed for the first time today and moved directly below the UVB. I lowered the lights by several inches and increased the lights to 20/4 for their last week in the "sunshine."
WEDNESDAY:
I took a few photos today of the living after trimming a few harvested plants.
The high temp in the tent is now just 82f, and it drops to 68-70f while it's dark I added some 450nm blue panels to try and "winterize" the environment a little more.
Candesia #3 has the aroma of Candy Cane, but is really kind of a unique color palette,..not like the Amnesia or Candy Cane parents.
The mystery plant is definitely a Candesia.. the aroma and bud color/shape is unmistakably that of her Amnesia Auto mother. She's Candesia #4..also known as "Pipsqueak", due to her diminutive stature.
THURSDAY:
Today I realized that a plant I thought was a Candy Cane is actually a Candesia! She's now known as Candesia #5...she's the one that I had to remove the main stalk which had already FIM quadrupled..butchered...sad day.
She's fattened up a little bit, but is still kinda puny. However, she's more resinous than any of the other 4.👍
FRIDAY:
I'd say they've got about an average of 20-25% amber trichs now..second flush tomorrow.😀
SATURDAY:
I flushed them for the last time today with a few gallons of ph'd spring water only.
I took some photos, and it will likely be their last photo session until they've been harvested.
I'm seeing a lot of UV damage to the leaves from the 20 hour blast I accidentally gave them. They'll be fine, but it's just gonna make the trim job a little harder.

The plants have limited space and are in 4 litre pots too keep them controlled.
This week I defoliated again and started adding sugar royal.

After a 6-week cure, it smells really spicy with creamy undertones. The buds are extremely dense and sticky. When vaped, the smoke is smooth but doesn’t have much flavor.
It’s an energetic high — not the optimal strain for an insomniac like me who likes to smoke before bed, but I already knew that. Overall, if you enjoy sharp, spicy, and slightly gassy terps, I’d highly recommend this strain.
My DIY lamp has 6-watt UVA leds. Maybe if I hadn’t run it at full blast the whole time, the aroma would’ve leaned more toward sweet and less toward spicy/caryophyllene-heavy.
84gramms dry for 86watt! pretty happy with that.

Day 63
Today marks day 63 of flowering and the plants are really showing their final form. The buds have packed on a lot of weight over the past week, and the colas are looking dense, swollen and sticky to the touch. The pistils have mostly changed color now, with a good portion curling in and turning orange and amber, which gives the flowers that mature, finished look. When I check the trichomes under the loupe I can see that the majority are cloudy, with just a few still clear and the first signs of amber starting to show. This is a good sign that the harvest window is opening soon, though I’ll probably let them go a few more days to really finish and develop that extra potency and flavor.
The smell is very intense at this point. Every time I open the tent I’m hit with a strong wave of aroma that’s a mix of sweet, earthy and slightly fruity notes, depending on which plant I’m leaning into. It’s sticky enough now that just brushing against a bud leaves resin on my fingers. The leaves are starting to fade naturally as the plant finishes up, showing yellows and some purples, which also makes the buds stand out even more.
I’ve stopped feeding nutrients and have been giving only plain, pH-balanced water to let the medium flush out. Runoff is looking clean and the plants seem to be using up the last of their stored energy. Temperatures and humidity are steady, and the airflow in the tent is keeping everything fresh with no signs of mold or rot, which is always something I watch carefully this late in flower.
Overall the garden looks amazing and I feel like I’m right on track for harvest. The next week will be about patience and daily trichome checks until I see the balance of cloudy and amber that I’m aiming for. It feels like the long wait is finally paying off, and the excitement is building to finally chop, dry, and cure these beautiful buds

395g from 2 autoflowers and boy is it the FUNK. My house smells like the strongest OG kush imaginable from p2 and p1 is already starting to get extremely citrus smelling in its jars. Great job mephisto.
