Growing this popsicle cake definitely had its ups and downs. What started out looking like a dud of a seed turned out to be something pretty spectacular. Stacks the buds nicely to fill up the whole colas, super frosty, with an un godly stench of sweaty dirty socks. Still in the curing process but definitely has a heavy indica punch!

Hi Growmies, So far it all goes to plan. Not much to do on soil I gotta admit. Right now they are receiving RO ph balanced water with some CalMag, rhizotonic and orca. The solution is applied with a spray bottle every time the top layer appears dry. #1 is a bit behind, as she struggled to get out of the seed shell. The other two are pretty much on par in terms of development. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you next week.

12/20 Week 7 Happy with the growth and the smell is so sweet, minty, and berry so terps are doing just fine. Backed off nuets ever so slightly 12/21 new pics and backing off the nuets more tonight - 10ml each see if I can get rid of those white tips Helps if you upload the right files 😎 12/23 pics 12/24 All is good but think I am going to continue reducing the nuets and checking EC of runoff as still getting some small issues on leaf tips. Maybe I am chasing ghosts we will see 12/25 White tips under control, runoff checked at 1600ppm unadjusted 950ppm unadjusted in, adjusted for water thats 1400 and 750 so ok now. Buds building fast swapping positions in the tent tonight.

1/28/24 - Day 83 - Here we are on day 83 and the trichomes are looking good. I bet one week, if not two weeks before I start to flush with water. There are some photos of the Trichomes a couple of weeks ago and then again today. 1/31/24 - Day 86 - The buds are starting to get FAT and grow outward. Tons of new buds coming from the buds. Sounds werid but the buds are growing buds now. The smell is out of this planet strong. Im looking forward to the next couple of weeks!

🌅💪🏝️💚🔝

Germinated 2 seeds had 50% success [still hoping the other pops up] chocolope #1 doing very well. They are in a 2'×2'×4' grow tent which they will spend rest of their lives as I'm trying my hands at cannabonsai. [Pretty calming] Lights are lowered close to dome to reduce stretch. Let me know what u think

Just switched to 12/12 lighting the other day so hopefully we’ll be seeing signs of flower

Cali Crasher is doing great. She is still bulking with some nice big colas. She has a nice layer of resin on her as well. Everything is going great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. Thank you Hortibloom, and Doctor's Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

week intel: we getting close to end of ripening , this week i raised drought , Nitrogen and E.C stress by feeding them 2 times per week and raised e.c to 3 to cause real stress that will help increase terpenes production stresses : Nitrogen deficiency Stress by removing the fertilizers that has N in them Drought stress via removing one meal in week high E.C stress around 1.7 and the other feeding day 3.0 , 2 times a week feeding: no more Nitrogen i feed them 2 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a medium e.c stress. day 3 : no more feeding this day day 5 : i feed them very high dose of Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster around 1500 ppm - 3 e.c to cause high e.c stress guide of the week : be patient in the last weeks, never hurry for harvest because its the time of ripening in last 2 weeks you should let plants to do their work last weeks of ripening is the time to break the limits we should cause 3 stresses as i said above Nitrogen stress , Drought Stress , E.C Stress

This grow turned out to be quite a journey. Originally, this run was meant to be a simple between-grow project, something to keep the season going outdoors, without too much effort. But plans changed, and the Orange Sherbet ended up in the tent, where it took a completely different direction than expected. She grew big and strong early on, but the LST was tricky. she didn’t respond very well at first, and shaping her the way I wanted took a lot of time and patience. It was interesting to see how she stretched and filled out later, but overall, the structure stayed somewhat awkward to manage. Throughout the grow I struggled with CalMag and potassium balance. I tried several adjustments, sometimes with high CalMag doses, but it never fully stabilized. It’s still unclear if that came from the strain itself or from the BioBizz line, but it made the mid-to-late phase more difficult than I had hoped. The flowering time was also much longer than advertised. the breeder mentions around 9 weeks, but in reality this one took closer to 14–15 weeks total. What was supposed to be a quick side project turned into a long, demanding run. On the bright side, she delivered a very solid yield. a bit over 160 g of trimmed buds plus another 50 g of popcorn, well above 1 g/W. The aroma is lovely after 10 days of curing: creamy, with vanilla and a subtle orange note returning. However, the buds are airy, not as dense as I hoped. The effect and flavor are great, but visually it’s more on the average side. Even so, this grow was one of the most instructive I’ve done. I learned a lot about deficiency management, humidity control, watering and how far genetics and environment interact. Going forward, I’ll take a break from autos and focus on photoperiod strains again. I just prefer the control and predictability they offer. All in all: not my prettiest grow, but a very valuable one. About drying in dry ferm/dry age and regular drying: the material in the bags took a few days longer to dry which is said to be good (regular dry was 7 days, bags was 9 or 10). initially I think the buds from bags look better but now in curing I can't really tell a difference, not visually and not in the nose. Let's see how everything evolves over time but honestly I am not expecting it to differ a lot from regular drying.

Day 22: "Hey everyone! Just a quick update: our plants are looking pretty good! We're planning to start Low Stress Training (LST) this week to help shape them. Also, we're probably going to buy the HPS lamp this week. Excited to see how they'll respond to the new light! 🌱💡" Day 27: "Update: We started with LST, and they're reacting really well to it! 🌿 Also, we're probably buying the lamp tomorrow. In addition, we've noticed some very small shoots, so we decided to trim off the lower leaves that were turning yellow or getting very little light. They're looking healthier already! 🌱✂️" Day 28: Hey everyone! Exciting update: we topped one of the Hulk Berry plants, and they're responding well to it! 🌿 Also, we decided to go with two LED lights from Cosmos instead of the HPS lamp. These are 120 watts each, full spectrum, dimmable, and they have separate modes for growth and bloom. Plus, they were a great deal compared to the Spider Farmer lights. Can't wait to see how they perform! 💡🌱 Quick question for you all: do you think we should remove some of the leaves that are shading the lower branches? We noticed that these shaded branches are growing smaller due to lack of light. What do you think? Here's what I'm thinking: I believe removing some of the larger fan leaves to allow light to reach the lower branches could be beneficial. It would encourage more even growth and better bud development throughout the plant. What's your take on this?

Todo marcha en orden, la floración interior va 10 puntos. A la de exterior le esta costando la adaptación por los excesivos calores 37°C. Saludos a todos y gracias por las buenas vibras.

Week 8: Water and wait This Lady is SUCH a blast to watch!!!! Her giant colas and sugary orange nugs just sparkle with resin. The structure is GREAT for avoiding bud rot which would be my major concern here. She has been flushing for a week. I assume she has 1 or 2 more in her. Really excited to write this smoke report.

Estamos en la primera semana de vegetativo, ya que a la anterior se la conoce como semana de germinación. Las plantas empiezan a mostrar las primeras hojas reales por encima de los cotiledones. Cuidado con que la humedad relativa del aire, no sea demasiado baja, lo ideal sería alrededor de un 65%. En esta etapa solo regamos suavemente con agua cada 5 días aprox.

Last days, getting fat and frosty. Switching to 24 hr for the final few days before chop. Last water was on day 85. I feel like I could actually wait another week or 2 but want to have some Xmas gift for friends so that clock is ticking. Easily 10% amber trichs at the moment and will likely get more with full light and no water for the next couple of days. Harvest coming right up!

This strain is just incredible, perfect indica high with a sativa sidenote It grows strong and is quite resistent to mold. All plants were done after about 60 days of flowering. First time i used a tumble trimmer and it works perfectly. I didn't check PH or EC at all
