Day 76 - 07/12/19 The Quick One has turned into a Fat One! The colas are just huge! nice lavender smell and very sticky! the buds also look a lot more dense this time compared to my last diary probably due to adding calmag and pk13/14 and this plant is over twice as tall haha. it finished its stretch at 43cm so shouldnt be a bad sized harvest. I fed the plants last night with their last dose of nutes and im going to start flushing from today right up until harvest. My tap water is at 140ppm so this should be okay for flushing. ive grown all my plants with this tap water and tbh i used to let it sit out for a day or two to evaporate chemicals but i havent done that in ages. plants dont seem to mind it straight from the tap. but yeah flushing from today right up until around the start of next week. it should only need a week flush as its coco coir but im expecting to harvest on Day 85. The top of the main cola started to look weird and was definitely getting burned from the light. i took a small bit off as i cant adjust the height of my lights just now, gotta fit these rope rachets the light is just so damn heavy lol. im not worried tho, expecting about an ounce from this harvest, maybe more from my diesel auto diary. Still im very proud. this is my first plant with big colas, and not only tall but fat! cant wait to see how dense the buds turn out to be and i think my last harvest was at week 9 so this has had much more time to mature. I pulled a lot lot of leaves off this plant as they were crispy and yellowing. ive been feeding light amounts of nitrogen for a while so its either just the plant yellowing or the crispiness is light burn. either way you will notice from the pictures. upper colas have no fan leaves lol. and i added a couple of photos through the jewelers loupe, couldnt really get a good angle. but the breeder estimate is 8-9 weeks and il be finishing on week 12 so itll most likely be ready. I got a few more seeds and they are going to be stunning! award winning genetics and also exotic and high thc autoflowers! im using biobizz light mix and i should be starting once i harvest this diary so keep an eye out for that and check out my other diaries if you get a chance. Day 78 - still giving 1.8l of water per day. wanted to ensure im getting all the nutes and salts out of this so i gave 1.8l of phed water earlier in the day and 1.8l of phed water 6 hours later. going to try stick to the 1.8 per day as the soil dries out overnight with that amount :) Other than that the plant is looking great. some faint purple colors and its pretty frosty! nice big buds. once the plant is harvested and trimmed im gonna dry some on a drying rack for about a week. and some hung up to dry in a cardboard box for 2 weeks. Day 79 - 10/12/19 Harvested the top half of a side cola today so its cured just before christmas ๐ŸŽ„ and i wanted to let light penetrate the lower buds! Have a look at the pictures and let me know what you think in the comments :) Biobizz light mix arrived and im thinking of starting my next batch of seeds, keep an eye out for those diaries starting up :) I plan to harvest on day 85! so excited for this one! Day 79 same day update: Took a few pictures of the bud drying :) im gonna dry it slowly and just let the 21-23c room temperature 50-60% humidity do its job. and let me know what you guys think about using a drying rack like in the picture for buds? Day 80 - 11/12/19 A few days shy of 12 weeks now so i decided to harvest another couple of side colas! Snipped a cola down to individual buds removing all trim and the other cola i didnt break down i just trimmed. il add photos tomorrow to show what i mean :) The trim was really frosty and looked quite cloudy/plastic and the buds are covered in cloudy/amber pistils. I smoked a couple of bongs of the test bud which has been drying for about 24 hours now and im pretty stoned! very relaxed in my back and shoulders. no muscle pain. my head is heavy with enhanced audio and visuals :) this is turning out to be a beautiful afternoon smoke! very proud of myself :) Only a few more days until full harvest and i cant wait to cut the main cola down. id say the main cola could be near an ounce when dried as it looks thicker than my arm ๐Ÿ˜‚ Day 81 - 12/12/19 What a night ive had :) been up for ages fine trimming 2 side colas i pulled off the plant tonight. the flushing was worrying me with the extra humidity rise. i added a ton of pictures to show off the whole ordeal as best as possible :) and i came across some mold halfway up one of the giant colas. was a very small pocket of fluff so i cut around the affected area and didnt lose too much (about 2g if dried) the side colas were so much bigger than expected. completely filled my whole raw tray with buds and my drying rack is starting to fill up. Im like a small child again as these colas are the biggest individual piece of weed that ive held :) really proud that i grew this! I also got a lot of trim and little popcorn buds. gonna keep then for edibles and dry up these test buds. 3 Days until harvest of the main cola :) and check out the pictures and videos i added at the end. huge colas! :)

Im feeding her steadily at around 825ppm every morning monitoring any possible deficiencies. I did defoliate quite a few leaves from the to[ and bottom once I felt that she is thriving happy and growing more vigorously during the stretch. I raised the light a full 2 feet. during week 1 and now at the end of week 2 the tallest stalk is about 14 inches while most are around 20. reason for a few stalks being taller is because of what happened when our 3rd plant ended up being a male during the transition to 12/12. Im not gna try anything crazy to try and fix it. Obviously there are no problems so dont fix whats not broken I guess. Have a great week !

-4/16/23 Start of week --Week 4 -4/16/23 (Day 29) --Observations: roots around the outside of soil, branches growing quickly --Changes: transplanted from one gallon pot into a three gallon pot, increased light cycle duration to 18 hours, distance from light slightly changed --Comments: forgot to take photo after transplant -4/18/23 (Day 31) --Observations: still not having problems with nutrient spray multiple times every day. --Comments: first photos in new pot, will start training tomorrow near the end of the light cycle (less than 6h light left). will be trying an experimental grow training where the plant is forced to create multiple vertical branches coming off the main stem that will be forced to grow horizontally. should end with more symmetrical and uniform colas. -4/19/23 (Day 32) --Observations: branches are big enough to start training --Changes: started LST today. removed one spade leaf and the branch node it had, also removed one shade leaf from the second set. --Comments: today is the day to start training, had to remove some parts so that they would not be toughing the soil. should recover and start having branches grow vertically. was thinking about trying the FIMing technique, looks like it may be the perfect time for it. will decide tomorrow after it tries to correct itself, if all goes well it shouldn't be able to pull the tie downs up. -4/20/23 (Day 33) --Observations: slightly pulling up tie downs, branches correcting direction and growing vertically. --Changes: removed another shade leaf that was covering several branch nodes, pushed tie downs back into soil. --Comments: may need to find a better way to tie down or find a new way because it seems like they keep pulling up and not holding where I want them to. -4/21/23 (Day 34) --Changes: removed shade leave on both second level branches, tried FIMing the top. also changed placement of tie downs. --Comments: doing good with training, removed some shade leaves to open up space for other growth. tried to do the FIMing technique but I'm not sure if it was done right, if not them I may just top this plant. -4/22/23 (Day 35) --Observations: still trying to pull out tie downs, branches growing quickly --Changes: started watering with nutrients --Comments: continues to fight the tie downs but is still taking to training. giving nutrients in the watering now and not just spraying with them, may start adding molasses to future waterings. still not sure if I did FIMing properly but if it isn't right then I will be topping this plant. -4/22/23 End of Week

Mi scuso per avere aggiornato il diario cosรฌ in ritardo, sto lavorando molto๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™‰ Venendo al punto Ho iniziato il flush per eliminare i nutrienti rimanenti dal terreno all'inizio dell'ottava settimana. Le piccole hanno sviluppato un intenso odore, le note dolci richiamano le rose, mentre quelle acide il limone. Che dire di piรน!? Fantastiche Grazie per essere passati ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿต๐Ÿ‘

Every morning I sit with my little fish and water it and every evening as well. I used to fill a 300ml bottle which lasted for 2 days, now I use a 1L bottle. I guess atm it will last 3 days. ๐Ÿ’ง I tilted the fish pot now, so the girl hast to change direction. I removed 3 shoots. I only want to keep the main shoot and those which will grow directly upwards. Depending on how large the girl will decide to be. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Maybe you have noticed the Yoga Sutra quotes. This ancient book is maybe the oldest written text in human history, conspirational voices are whispering it has been transferred to us by aliens (maybe they felt sorry for us). Patanjali is a mythical character, noone knows if he is a man, or maybe more than one.. The age of the Sutras can be determined very accurately because apparently there are star constellations described which can be backdated 6000 years backwards! Amazing, if you ask me, and I think that's pretty valid as a theory, it would explain a lot! Anyway, the Sutras are a text of only 4 chapters, and they pretty much sum up what you can do to wake up and empower yourself 100%. Really down to earth and practical, but who wants to eat raw living food??? Aawweee.. (just joking) ๐Ÿ˜œ You'll get magic powers, eternal youth, everything, but noone reads it. I wonder why.. Thank you for visiting! ๐Ÿ”ฎ Hope to see you in week 3!! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š The soundtrack of the video is from a Guru Jagad Kundalini Yoga class on YT, the illustrious Guru Jagad is one of my favorite Yoga instructors and much more! ๐Ÿ™ โค๏ธ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfx66qbAj7s&t=1000s ____________________________________________________ Strain info: Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high thatโ€™ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance.ย  This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Autoโ€™s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind.ย  Itโ€™s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end.Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like theyโ€™re growing stacked on top of each other. Itโ€™s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest thatโ€™ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/tropicana-cookies-auto _________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! โค๏ธ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) โœจ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Mills Nutrients Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cmยณ/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cmยณ/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿก ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿก ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿก ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿก

I've moved lights towards them, so now the lights are 15 cm above them. I've moved a fan a little bit higher, so the wind is not too strong for them now. Hope she will be well now.

Thinking this week I'm going to pull the amino acids. The tips seem to be curled down just a bit so I'll remove that and see if its a nitrogen toxicity. Other than that I think the plant looks good, the smell is hard for me to describe lol.

a new grow is on the cards. it will be a race between two fast-flowering varieties. On one side we have fast buds with gorilla cookies and on the other side zamnesia with green crack F1. i'm trying to create the same conditions for both as much as possible. it will be an outdoor grow in an autopot flexipot system. both will get the same fertilisation and have the same substrate to grow in. the substrate is a mix of expanded clay from Plagron and coconut fibres from Canna. The fertiliser comes from Hesi. germination went very well. i first put the seed in water for 24 hours and then placed it in a wet paper towel for another 24 hours. the seed germinated after a total of 48 hours. then i planted it in the coco substrate and after another 48 hours the seedling broke through the soil and got its first rays of sunshine. it will be my last outdoor grow for this year and i'm looking forward to seeing how the plants grow in late summer.๐Ÿ˜‹

Day 15 added grow. Feeding 1.5L per plant which gives a little run off. Pot drying out every 3/4 days and growing about an inch daily atm, big changes to come over the next 7-10 days really looking forward to seeing these grow taller. Day 20, all 3 plants now 9-10โ€. Expecting them all to double over the next week. More LST on all 3 plants and a feed of just over 1.5l which gives a small run off. No more voodoo juice or b52. Next feed I will introduce bloom along side grow. Very happy with the progress so far, no deficiencyโ€™s atm. So far so good

This is her second week since the start of 12/12. This week I'll be focusing on defoliation under the screen. This will be the last week I'll be pruning. I'll be taking just a bit off each day until Saturday (the start of her 3rd week). Not much stretch yet. Screen's almost full. Looking real good. Gnats seem all but eliminated and I'll water with some more bti this week. Pistols are starting to show up more. She looks real healthy. I'll foliar with Epsom tonight as I foresee a Mg deficiency soon. Today's the last day of week 2. Tonight I'll finish the trim under the screen although I got most everything already, water with bti and foliar with Epsom. Then it's pretty much hands off everything above the screen from now on.

Beginning of week.. Gonna go down on the Armor Si.. Up on the Kushie Kush and call it a week lol.. She is stackin nicely.. Smelling kinda strong for her size already.. Not a bad strain to have as a freebie!.. Mid week.. Noticing some nute burn on the tips of leaves.. Gonna go down on some nutes.. Not sure which yet.. I got a few days till I feed again.. I went ahead and defoliated the shit outta her.. I feel it's going to help with all the airflow that's able to get around in there now.. I've had great results with defoliating this much.. I've had awful results with defoliating barely anything.. But with this strain, I think she will NOT disappoint! The smell is getting pretty strong! Still don't really smell much of a cheese.. But she is gonna be DANK af for sure! These bulbs are a little too close to the 2 tall skinny colas.. The leaves are beginning to show some yellowing in between the veins.. Not much I can do.. Maybe tie them down somewhere.. I may just let her keep going this way.. Other colas look fine.. If I can raise the bulbs 2 inches or so, I will.. But as for now, they stay till I can figure it out. Not a bad strain at all! ๐Ÿ‘ End of week.. Wow she is smelling amazing! Trichomes are everywhere! This is a very frosty lady! I've cut out the Armor Si (Silica) and went down on the Kushie Kush (bloom booster) from Advanced Nutrients.. If I still keep seeing the burnt tips, I will lower what needs to be lowered again. But she is just.. Wow.. The colas still have plenty of time to fatten up. I have some AC Infinty computer fans that I need to install onto this grow box.. They are much better than what I've been using.. They are both on one USB plug but can be controlled by a switch with high, medium and low settings.. Pretty cool and powerful little fans.. I'll have one for exhaust and one for circulation around the plant.. How I already have it setup basically.. Just with these AC Infinity fans.. Gonna try to get them in next week.. Another week down.. Not too many more to go! Awesome strain! Very happy with this freebie.. I wish I would have made some fem seeds, or at least fem pollen with her! I may try a reveg, cut 2 clones from it and try that at a later day.. Anyways.. On to the next!...

Hey guys, update week 2 this week I decided to do a video update to change it up, I also didnt take the plants out of the plant this week just gave water. They are all happy and grow at a nice rate, still no fertilizer just water in Sonnenerde living soil, even though the size of them compared to the pot size makes me worry a bit. Lets see what the next week has in store as we continue this journey together. I have to say I like these genetics a lot, all making nice trichomes and developing a beautiful aroma, solid plants, not one of the 4 doing funky things. Solid genetics !

Se acerca el final, falta por engordar pero no creo que falte mรกs de una semana para que lo haga. En general una muy linda experiencia con esta cepa, es lo que decรญa el productor dutchpassion, una planta sin olor de hojas raras para que sea difรญcil de identificar en el exterior y estoy totalmente de acuerdo. Muy muy fรกcil de cultivar (creo me he pasado de fertilizante un par de veces) por lo que asumo que no tiene una dieta muy pesada para estar contenta. Muy buen grow este, ya veremos cรณmo acaba todo.

Day 50 - The entire tent is now filled up. Humidity is slightly higher than ideal but she looks happy. Moved the fan a bit higher to get more top canopy air circulation. Day 51 - Keep on growin' Day 52 - Pot was pretty light and dried out this morning after a couple of windy warm days in my area. Watered the usual 2L with run off of 170ml (9%). After gaining 3.5cm per day over the last 3 days, she was getting a bit too close to the light. - I moved the light up with 13cm today to be 30cm above the top most flower. Day 53 - Run off today was only 150ml(7.5%). I did some bottom defoliation removing small flower branches and leaves coming to the end of life. This cleared up some of the bottom for better watering access and definitely better airflow. Day 54 - Humidity in my area has dropped a bit leaving the room around 47% and inside the tent around 52%. Still a bit high but with her being so big in the 2x2 I pretty much have to keep the tent open at all times. Installed a second fan today to increase ventilation and try lower humidity. I've got one blowing over the top canopy and one circles around off the walls. Day 55 - Had both fans running overnight, seems to have gone ok. I have each fan pointed at a wall now this seems to make for the best all over ventilation without too much direct blow on the plant. Day 56 - That's the end of Week 7! The flower stretch this week has been pretty crazy. After raising the light she's exploded in height. Run off was 120ml (6%) today - this might be because of the double fans drying her out a bit more but also her size of course needing more water.
