week 2: I filled up the pots because the plants were a little long but now they are more stable, the light is now from 25% to 50%. All in all I’m pretty happy with the plants 🌱 (:

Week 11: Wow such a busy week i'm sorry i am late on this one. Loads of humidity with all the new growth there is so much more plant transpiring and its has really drove my humidity up. So what i am doing is pruning stems and leafs that i don't think will mature in time and this should also help to limit the humidity i will have once things start to set heavily I want to harvest and not have to fight mold. But this aggressive pruning i think might be limiting my harvest. I might have to invest in a dehumidifier. Pictures will be updated and added later. With all the mulching i've done its really helped lessen my work load as i do not have to water as often. Not much to write about here. Life has been busy and the plants are just stretching and growing every day. I have raised my lights so often these past few weeks.

Day 21: First topping. Happy to removed the light-stressed part of the plant from the equation if only for cosmetic reasons. I waited for 5 nodes before the topping. Day 22: Godammit, the light failed again. Turned it off and waited for it to cool down. Turned it back on and it worked. Lost 1 hour of light. Day 23: Because of previous light stress and canopy temperature, I felt that 35cm is a good distance for the light. Day 25: First LST on the new growth tips. Started the mainline. Day 26: Again the light is failing to come on. I rewired once again, cursing my very existence, and it worked again. Again lost an hour of light in the morning. Continued refining the LST, and seeing how far I can push it. Noticed a slight tear at the base of one of the mains. Since the plant energy is coming from below and there is no noticeable affect on growth I'm going to ignore it. Checked the roots - look healthy. Though the new growth tips are not completely symmetrical, those leaves look good enough to eat. Trimmed the excess fan leaves. Topped up with a small amount of nutrients. Day 27: light didn't come on again. I rewired again, but this time it was stone cold refusing to do anything. Again I cursed my existence and all of life. Returned to grow store, turns out bulb was defective after all. Again lost 4 hours of light. But at least now I know the problem is solved. Rene at the grow store is a champ though, very helpful guy. The new bulb is noticeably brighter also. Maybe this was affecting growth? Also once this issue was fixed, I noticed some small amount of nutrient burn on the leaves tips. Rebalanced nutrients. Was 1.9 mS/m lowered to 1.65 mS/m, then to 1.48 mS/m. Must be more careful in future when upping the dosage but the water conductivity is now less than before (1.55 mS/m) so this should be ok. Also lowered pH of water slightly since it was 6.0. It's currently showing 5.2 but experience has taught me that this measurement will comfortably go back up to 5.7. water pH is seemingly constantly rising as the plant grows, and adjusting pH is really more art than science. (Edit: It was 5.7 the next morning, so ya ... )

Week 6-7

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Dutch Passion for trusting me with the honor and pleasure of growing their Tropical Tangie. It's an incredible strain, and I can't wait to see what she brings to the table. So, shout out to @DutchPassion_Official and the Grow diaries Platform for making this journey possible! Now, let's talk about the germination process. I followed the typical seed germination method, placing the seed in water. And you won't believe it, within about 30 hours, she sprouted her tiny little taproot. It was like a magical moment, witnessing the start of a new life. After careful consideration, I decided it was time to move her into a small pot filled with Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This is a special blend that contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, which form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It's like giving my Tropical Tangie a team of underground helpers, ready to support her growth. But that's not all! To give her an extra boost, I added Aptus Holland Water Regulator, which helps optimize water absorption and distribution within the plant. And to kickstart her growth, I used the Micordrip from Aptus Holland as well, which provides essential microelements to support healthy development. It's like giving her a tailor-made nutrient cocktail for success. Now, let's talk about the plant guardians, the Ninja Legos! These little guys may seem like toys, but they are the unsung heroes of my garden. Not only do they bring a touch of whimsy and fun, but they are also masters at keeping bugs and bad energies away. They're like the silent protectors of my precious plants, ensuring a safe and harmonious growing environment. Plus, who doesn't love a good joke about Ninja Legos? So, my friends, here we are embarking on the Ninja Lego Tropical Run with Dutch Passion. It's a journey filled with love, passion, and the support of Aptus Holland as my sponsor. Together, we're creating something special. Stay tuned for more updates as we witness the growth and development of the magnificent Tropical Tangie. Thank you, Aptus Holland, for your support, and a big shout out to Dutch Passion for making dreams come true. Let the adventure begin! As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove

The week went again pretty uneventful, other than me not getting the tip burn under control. I have further reduced base nutrients, removed the green sensation (simply because I ran out ;)) and increased pk 13/14 further. The buds continue to develop new pistils and continue to swell. The trichomes look mostly milky at this stage, I will however wait until I have around 20%-25% amber. I have cut a bud from the lower canopy (pictures attached), which is quite solid to touch and had a wet weight of roughly 1,2 gr and is currently drying. Overall the bud structure on this plant looks amazing the buds a re super dense, nicely clustered around the stems and she looks like she'll be a joy to trim.

This was a pretty explosive week for growth! These girls really took off this week! I have been topping off the res with just plain RO water this week after the change and for this run I have kept the strength of the nutrients pretty low and have been hanging around 0.6 EC, I don't see much of a need to increase at all. I am going to continue to keep a lower EC and just watch the plants. I think last run I may have fed a little hot a time or two so gonna go low and slow this run and it has been working out so far. I will be putting my trellis net up either today or tomorrow because I think I am really going to need it this run. I noticed yesterday that it looks like these girls are showing signs of entering the flowering phase so I need to get set up and be prepared for the stretch! I'm getting a little nervous about the height of the plants as well because they are growing fairly tall pretty quick, but hopefully the net will help a bit. No issues to report really and they look healthy as can be! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow! As always any tips, comments, recommendations are always valued and appreciated! Thanks everyone you guys rock!

Good week, plants seem to be doing well. No issues except for plenty of gnats in the tent. I removed some lower branches that were touching the soil after training. Gave approximately 200ml water/nutrients. There was no sign they needed more than that and their bags are still relatively heavy. I expected from next week that watering will need to ramp up but I'll see.

En esta semana se realiza una poda apical. Las temperaturas estos días son extremadamente elevadas, el enfriador de agua trabaja casi las 24h del día.

Auto black Opium is doing good.i changed her solution to the blooming mix today. She is starting to develop her colas. Even is look great. Thank you Divine Seeds, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Always gotta give the respect to fastbuds from all the hardwork they do to supply us with contest winings and bomb genetics ... THIS RUN will be an outdoors run the plant was started indoors and brought out after 5 days she is getting big allready .. The girl will be given a feeding when required probably week 4-5 and then there will be somebig training on the girls .. I'm excited this plant has been one of the tastiest flowers around.

This wasn't my first rodeo with this strain, so I knew exactly what to expect. She delivered as usual. I love using this site to document my grows. It has been a resourceful guide for me as I navigate my way through my journey as a grower. Everyone who grows anything should use it. A great reference tool for yourself and others.

This week was a real breeze! She's gaining a ton of weight on the bud sites and she's really growing nicely! She's starting to bud around the flowering sites and really finishing nicely. The formation of bracks and the formation of the buds is my favorite part because that's when you get to see somewhat of the final picture and the time the flower is most colorful! Now the second best part is harvesting the flower for smoking which will be occuring soon! The smell on these girls is very invigorating!! She's putting out a smell of a Apple Tart! You can smell the Apple Strudel right away when you open up the tent! I can't believe how big she's got and how beautiful they are coming along! I have to say that this is one of my favorites to grow and my favorite smelling strain! I also love the way the flowers are stacking on the colas!!! The frost on top of the cola leaves is insane! During the day I drop the humidity down to 45-50% and then at night I raise the humidity up to 60-65% which helps a ton with flower promotion during the flowering stage! Also, I raise the temperature during the day to 80° and at night I lower the temperature to 55°-60° which helps mimic the autumn temperatures that aids a ton in flower production in the flowering stage!!! I'll be stopping the two Apple Strudel Auto's from receiving any synthetic nutrients soon and flushing them once harvest is closer. It will be within the next two weeks or so! I do that because they'll stop taking nutrients in and start to self canabulize as a normal (ending) part of plant life. Then I'll give the two ladies plain pH balanced H20 for the next 2 weeks to flush any and all nutrients out of them. Then three days of darkness. Finally I'll chop them down to hang in my harvesting closet for 7-14 days with a dehumidifier on at 65% humidity. Then I'll place the flower into the trimmer and then into the grove bags for the last step in harvesting! The grove bags will keep the flower at 58-62% humidity. They also help keep the flower fresh longer, the Terpenes fresh, the Terpenes flavors, and from becoming moldy or dried out! I've used both these and the mason jars with boveda humidity packs but to me the grove bags are a must and a go to fail safe!!! All you do is hang your buds upside down at 60/60 or 65/60 for 7-10 days or until the braches snap and make that noise. Thanks and as always stay safe, stay high, and stay blessed!

Gave each medium around 15L water flushing, Will continue to give only water for the next 14 days or so. Flush began 30tht August.

Today starting 1week flowering its seem all going in right way parameter its good Day 32 i think i have bug eat some leaf so i decide to use neem oil , i think i hace little bit nitrogen toxicity so tomorrow i will give only water Day 34 After i give only water plant its seem starting stay better,the nitrogen toxicity begins to decresce , the leaves beginsto look up and the Grow appears to accelerate Day 35 today i give only water again and ec output its fixing 1.7 so its not bad , next watering i will give half nute . Day 37 only water today again , plus i give vita race 5ml/l npk 0-5-8 for potsassium and phosporus by spray on leaves , i hope next one i will try give some nutes for flower stage
