Moving along into flower nicely, spent a day and change inside hiding from the rain and wind from the hurricane remnant. Back outside now.

Week 4! - Still on track! So far so good. I repotted both plants into their final pots and filled them up with canna coco. Since the weather has been warm and sunny they have grown exponentially and have no signs of slowing down. Watering has been more frequent this week as it's been warmer but I have the feeling that I will need to water slightly less now that they have been repotted in the Canna Coco - this soil seems to hold the moisture alot more. I inserted some small bamboo sticks for support which seem to be doing the trick nicely, no problems. Any tips or advice going forward would be appreciated. Still pretty hands off and no feed/nutrients have been added - just good ol water.

The fimming does what I wished. The single headbud, „twin‘ed“ into 3 headbuds. The fimming also stops the vegetation, but most times luckily only the node of the headbud! Then does the twinheadbuds build a roof-crown with the other nodes.

January 2-8 01/02 Lots of growth in the two days since the last tea Topped the biggest one 01/03 Topped the other two and watered

1/29/2019 Late to update could not upload pics for some reason. Good week #1 is now 17.5" tall # 2 is 18.5" # 2 in the lead again. My temps were lower than usually cause I shut off red spectrum for pics,and been off for a week so reds back to 100% this week. Little budlets forming nicely. Starting to smell. Sorry only one pic this week can't seem to get pics uploaded,hope I figure it out for next week.Thank for stopping by. 1/30/2019 Ps. Finally got some pics to upload. 2/01/2019 The stretching begins👊 #1 definitely not stretching as much as #2 Number 2 looks like the keeper so far but we will see at the end !🙏

Hello Diary, White Widow has completed its last week, the journey has come to an end. Two days after the photo shoot, I harvested White Widow along with her roommates. 73 days since I put the seeds in the ground. 65 days since the start of the vegetation. Really very fast, although it has somehow become the standard on my small farm. But I am still fascinated by how quickly the plant goes through its cycle when it has the most ideal conditions. I don't necessarily mean myself, I try to give the plants the best I can and know how. As you can see in the photos, the result is impressive, White Widow turned out to be a real beauty. This phenotype painted White Widow in purple. The flowers are hard and dense, the branches bend under their weight. One branch even broke when I was setting it up for the photo shoot. That purple color gives it a special look. Some of the leaves have taken on autumn colors, which is also one of the signs that it has matured. This week I continued to observe the samples under the microscope, waiting for the trichomes to turn milky. On the day of the photo shoot, which was day 63, most of the trichomes were milky, some even brown. The smell is very intense, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box. I barely wash my fingers after examining the plants. Watering was standard, every three days. This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water. After the photo shoot, she was in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil so that the drying would be more efficient. Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying easier and have less work to trim the dried flowers. But also to prevent the formation of potential mold. After cutting, I left her upside down in the grow box to dry. Now I'm waiting for the flowers to dry well and to see how much White Widow has really rewarded me. See you when that happens. Here's what the last week looked like. 19/09/2024 - Day 57. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm. 22/09/2024 - Day 60. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 24/09/2024 - Day 62. I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so they would be fresh for the photos. 25/09/2024 - Day 63. End of the last, 9th week since Purple Lemonade began its journey. Photos. 27/09/2024 - Day 65. White Widow has been harvested. That's almost all from me for this diary, the final report that follows after drying and testing remains. Thank you all again for your support and comments.

It was also the last week for Bubblegum, who had some problems at the beginning and therefore took longer than the others. At the beginning of the week, she was given a thorough flush, then left to dry, and at the end of the week, she was given the usual two days of darkness. Despite the difficulties at the start, it was a very good result.

Easy trimmer

Das sieht nach einem extrem sauberen und kontrollierten Garten aus! Trotz des Spinnmilben-Schrecks wirken die Damen sehr vital und "aufgeräumt". Dass du heute nochmals leicht nachjustiert hast, war genau richtig, um die Fläche im Netz final zu besetzen. Hier ist meine Einschätzung zu deinen Fragen und dem aktuellen Stand: 1. Analyse der Fotos & Status * Die TC (Tropicana Cookies): Sie ist definitiv die "Anführerin". Die Blütenansätze sind deutlich ausgeprägter, und sie zeigt bereits die typische Struktur für den Übergang in die Hauptblüte. * Die Milben-Situation: Dass du nur noch vereinzelte findest, ist ein gutes Zeichen, aber Vorsicht: Die Eier sind winzig. Behalte den Rhythmus für die zweite Solabiol-Behandlung unbedingt bei, um den Lebenszyklus zu brechen. * Klima: 24°C und 60–65% RLF sind absolut stabil. Da du jetzt mehr Luftfluss durch das Entlauben hast, ist das Risiko trotz der RLF geringer geworden. 2. Fahrplan: Lollipoppen & Letzte Entlaubung Wir befinden uns jetzt am Ende der ersten Stretch-Woche (BW1). * Lollipoppen: Der ideale Zeitpunkt ist Ende der 2. bis Anfang der 3. Blütewoche (ca. in 7–10 Tagen). * Warum? Dann ist der Stretch fast abgeschlossen und du siehst genau, welche Triebe es bis ans Licht geschafft haben und welche im Schatten "Popcorn-Buds" bilden würden. * Ziel: Alles im unteren Drittel (unter dem Netz), was kein Licht sieht, wird radikal entfernt. Das lenkt die gesamte Energie in die Main-Buds oben im Netz. * Letzte große Entlaubung: Das machen wir zeitgleich mit dem Lollipoppen. Danach lassen wir die Damen bis zur Ernte weitestgehend in Ruhe, um Stress zu vermeiden. 3. Lichtleistung erhöhen Da du aktuell bei 45% bist und die Damen den Stress (Entlaubung/Milben) gut weggesteckt haben: * Vorschlag: Wir erhöhen ab morgen (Montag) in 5%-Schritten alle 2-3 Tage. * Ziel: Bis zum Ende der nächsten Woche wollen wir bei ca. 60–65% landen. * Wichtig: Achte bei der TC auf die Blattspitzen. Wenn sie anfangen auszugleichen (gelbe/weiße Spitzen), bleib bei der aktuellen Prozentzahl stehen. 4. Nährstoffe (PK 13/14) Da die TC so deutlich führt: * TC: Ab morgen kannst du mit 0,5 ml/L PK 13/14 starten. * CC & AA: Da sie etwas hinterherhinken, würde ich bei ihnen noch 2–3 Tage warten oder nur eine "homöopathische" Dosis (0,25 ml/L) geben, um sie nicht zu überfordern.

📆 Semana 8: El cultivo sigue avanzando en el engorde final, pero aún con margen por delante. Los cogollos continúan hinchando y compactando, ganando dureza progresiva mientras los cálices siguen apilándose y cerrando estructura. La resina se mantiene en aumento, cubriendo bien flores y आसपास, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos pero todavía con poco ámbar, señal de que la maduración sigue en proceso. La planta mantiene buena absorción y actividad, enfocada en seguir sumando peso y terminando de construir su potencial. El aroma sigue intensificándose, ganando matices y profundidad, pero aún con evolución por delante antes del punto óptimo. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

1 week(ish) to go

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Tropicana Cookies by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for the outstanding, award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Tropicana Cookies Auto: I'll be running Tropicana Cookies Autoflower which is a 60/40 Indica/Sativa Hybrid. "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 500 gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110 cm, 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. You can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’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 citrus and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more."* *References: GrowAce.com, 2fast4buds.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •DL Wholesale Root Royale Coco Lite 70/30 coco/perlite •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 10/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies and these little ladies need some serious TLC! I have the AirCube system set to 'Automatic Feed' now with two feeds per day for 15min. each. I'm checking the reservoir PH and EC before each feed as I'm still getting a PH climb due to the large air stone I have in the reservoir, and I want to keep my ppm's in the 600-700 range. So far, so good with the increase of nutrients. It looks like they are all beginning to get their color back, albeit slowly. 10/17- The Tropicana Cookies continue to be fed twice daily at 7am and 9pm, which works out to three hours AFTER lights on and six hours BEFORE lights off. So far this is working well with the medium having ample time to drain between feedings. I can see a noticeable difference in their color now, especially in the #1 plant. The #2 plant has a pair of lower leaves that are pretty damaged and I'll do a 'surgical' removal of them soon. the #3 is looking the best of the group, but the other two are on the rebound now. I'll have to wait and see how much this problem affects the plants growth and flowering and hope for the best! 10/19- I've got the AirCube system dialed in now and my little ladies have made a dramatic comeback! I've upped the nutrients to 650ppm's and am running the PH at 6.0-6.2 @ 74℉. Tent temperatures are running 73/80℉ during lights off/on, RH is being maintained @ 65%, and co2 levels at 1150-1300ppm's. I upped the output of the HLG 650R to 65% via a TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller, and have it hung 28" above the plants. Today, I drained and cleaned the reservoir and 'brain bucket', then refilled the system with 60L of well water to which added the following: 100ml each of Plagron Cocos 'A' & 'B', 30ml of Plagron Power Roots and 45ml of Botanicare CalMag+, and 3 tbsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss amino acids for a final level of 650ppm's. I then checked the ph and adjusted to 6.0 @ 74℉. I have also set the GrowAce AirCube system to 'Auto' mode and have it set for three 15min feedings a day, six hours apart, beginning two hours after 'lights on'. 10/21- There goes three weeks from seed on the books! All three Tropicana Cookies are looking really good now with great color and vigor, and I'm primarily concentrating on maintaining a consistent environment in the 4x4. The three times a day feeding schedule with Plagron nutrients ( Cocos A & B, Power Roots) continues @ 650ppm. I am also checking the reservoir before each to monitor and adjust the PH and nutrients when needed. I have noticed that after each feed the reservoir PH climbs 0.9of a point to 7.0, so I have been adding 30ml of Safer Grow PH Down which brings the PH down to 6.1. 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

She’s starting to produce trichomes all around. This week will be the last feeding and then she will be flushed until harvest. Slight defoliation when needed.

Der eine Trieb der durch das Training angerissen ist, hat sich bereits super erholt. Die Wurzeln sind bereits unten am Untertopf angekommen. Gelbtafeln und Blautafeln angebracht.

Harvested today. Noticed a small amount of bud rot on a couple of top buds due to elevated humidity over the last few days. Affected tops were removed immediately. Only the very top buds were impacted, the majority of the plant was healthy and harvested without issues. Trimming done, moving on to drying. Final trimmed weight will be updated later plus a more thorough evaluation of the grow and strain. * Rest of grow info week 20

Come potete vedere il sacchetto di co2 messo l’ultima volta ha implementato notevolmente la fotosintesi delle piante facendole più che raddoppiate in una sola settimana.

Looks good to me so far

Not a verry good grow at all. I will try to use a scrog net in the Future…:/

no signs of pests during the grow. only one time i had ants trying to infest one plant but easily got rid of them by using cinnamon around the stem. she grows easy and is fun to train, you don't have to be an expert. in the late flowering i got some budrot in both plants and stalled the harvest by inspecting and cutting it away daily, haven't lost a lot due to it. i would recommend this strain as she is a high trichome producer, big yielder and easy to grow plant that gives nice buds with a good smell and greath high. she is a strain that makes you talkative, giggly and euphoric and is surely gonna give you a good sleep. be sure to go easy on her as she is a strong breed. an amazing strain to grow. she creates colourfull purple buds filled with trichomes that is really good for the chilling occasions, be sure not to have to go somewhere as she will last long and prepare for a joyfull evening with lots of laughing and good talks. i'll post more pictures after the drying process!

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!
