🌿 Week 11 – Harvest! (Day 77) Harvest time for my Tropicana Cookies Auto — 77 days from seed to chop. Instead of giving her 24–48 hours of darkness, I decided to harvest right in the middle of her light cycle to preserve maximum THC and terpene content while the resin was at its peak. Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a few amber — exactly where I wanted them. The buds came out dense and sticky with a deep citrus aroma and colorful hues. Final wet weight: 300g, expecting around 60–75g dry after a slow cure. She’s currently drying on mesh racks in a dark, ventilated space with ~21°C and 55–60% RH. I’ll jar her up once the stems snap clean. This was a compact but resin-heavy pheno — rich in terpenes and easy to grow. Really happy with how she turned out. Thanks for following the grow — time to cure and enjoy the results! 🔥🌱

Very strong and already having a nice smell on the branches 😁

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 off with a bang and love the look and smell of this girl. She’s really starting to fatten up and and need her to start filling in more. Thinking about 2-3 weeks max before she’s ready to chop and looking forward to it. Gave her the first of her week 11 feedings today and might cut her off to just water starting week 12. Day 72 - No big changes or updates. She’s fattening up and filling in beautifully. Will most likely start flushing after the end of this week. Day 73 - Gave her a second feeding today and next one will be Saturday. All is looking great and thinking she’s in track to be chopped at the end of week 13 but will keep and eye on her. Still some clear trichs but a lot of milky in there. She looks gorgeous! Day 75 - Looks great and on track for a chop at the end of week 13. Gave her the last feeding today and will water with straight water and Sledgehammer from here on out to start flushing her out. Day 76 - Closing in on the end of week 11 and she’s just as pretty as ever. Gave her some water today as she seemed to be screaming for it. Will probably do one more week of feedings then flush her with sledgehammer during week 13 and she should be ready for chopping. Day 77 - Ending week 11 and looks great. Have a few leaves showing deficiencies but not sure if it’s because she’s coming to the end of her life or somethings missing. Runoff pH was a little high so worked to correct that today, we’ll see if that helps. If not, she’s only got 2 weeks left.

Come home and open tent and fuk the space is full, I switch 12/12 now and all looks good and smell was "fresh" no dusty or moldy. So many days that i start to miss these Ladys alot and bigest worry was the poor ventilation or something mess airflow but that was not the case! It seem that my tent start to get lilla small and i may need one size biger and i wasent able to buy same producer solution but clad i have some terra power's liquids and i start to Bloom these sweetharts. Not enythin chainse but Light time so i keep u into loop if something has to do but thanks for tips to all and till next week. Reggeaokkey

I've defoliated a few leaves, they are starting to show viable trichomes now.

ABxRKO is about 42.5" tall, and has been top dressed with about 3tsp of grow dots to give it a phosphorus boost in flower HBSS is about 26.5" tall and has been top dressed with about 2tsp grow dots as I believe it is fighting a phosphorus deficiency. She is giving all the smells, a bright red starburst like fruity smell with a stark citrus note.

Igual que sus otras hermanas sativas .esta belleza ha estado muy bien estimulada , creciendo rápido llegando a unos 15cm ..a su día 20 , hice corte apical , y hoy se veía bastante sanita y sin reacción de stress...que lindas sativas. Nunca había tenía esta alegría ...de todas maneras La lemon Shining silver haze , tiene una hoja que luce "híbrida".... Las amo a todas !

Week 31 december - 6 January 6/1 feeding day

Day 22, 8th of October 2020: Ajjjjjjjjj..... Smthg happened to me that never before. Tricky story. 2 days ago I watered her more a bit also placed closer to the lamp. Yesterday I saw the leaves started wilting and the lowest ones yellowing. I thought I overwatered her so let her all night and today checked seeing she looks worse ... I was like what the fuck.... I removed her from the pot it was not overwatering problem it was underwatering problem. The soil was like the desert ... But how? Just watered her recently may be because I have placed closer to the lamp. It was also suspicious because this pot has no holes at all so thought not able to drain. No....She is very thirsty ..😅 I just gave her a lot and wahoo she has woken up! That is the reason of those yellow leaves are at the bottom. The girl in the picture just recovered 3 hours ago she looked like a dead wilting plant.... omg... I wanted to do main-lining today but need to be delayed she needs to recover 😩 so I will do it 2 days later ... Apart from that she is totally cool 😎 Beautiful :) And yes everything continues the same way :) Day 23, 9th of October 2020: Alright... she is cool today I managed to do Main-lining. :)

If you don't follow my Instagram then you will have to read this portion. Lineage Breakdown: Pink Sugar Breath F1 created by UFO Genetics. Pink Sugar Breath: Platinum Kush Breath(IHG) X Pink Sugar Cookies(UFO) Pink Sugar Cookies: Sugar Cane(IHG) X Gsc Twister Pink Sugar Breath F2: Pink Sugar Breath Male(Funk/Purple Stems/Dumper) X Pink Sugar Breath Female(Pink Sugar Cookie Pheno) Bred by Me. I originally popped a good amount of these testers I created using a funk sugar breath male and a baker dough sugar breath with more of the pink sugar cookie lineage. This resulted in a pheno hunters dream. Each pheno develops massive amounts of resin. Green phenos imo are the best smokes SO far. They range from chemical og funk to og funk and dough. The purple pheno has more of a kush breath with sugary dough to it. Lastly is the pink pheno. The pink pheno develops amazing trichome production with all terps within the mom and pop. I originally popped these in x3 ran soil. They were broken in half. Overwatered. You fucking name it. I was stress testing this already herm vulnerable gsc twisted/ogkb hybrid. That being said the average grower should have minimum to none herm issues. 3 broke out batch but it was just a small trait from the vigorous stress I gave them. They developed high bract to leaf ratio with an intense sativa high. Growing these require 63 to 72 for a full expressions and an added body buzz with that kush breath high. 9/10. Flowering expect these to stretch 3x as big. They will need boosters/ extra feeding withing 17 days from flip. These are limited tested F2s. Only available @ [email protected]

very easy to grow strain excellent smoke definitely would recommend growing this although end weight is a bit disappointing with only 19 grams for the whole plant

Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer. It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.

Got a couple more days until day 56 (week 8) but just wanted to add a few things from this week. The flush is coming along nicely and getting some really nice colors to come out, Really excited for the finish. Just uploaded the day 56 pictures, shes looking beautiful!

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days. Little plant and little yeald. Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime. Will update the smoke test curing.

The Ztrawberriez girls have absolutely exploded this week, super happy with their early progress.💚 All three seedlings are off to a flying start, stretching up with strength and vigor. No issues so far, they’ve handled the environment like champs and are developing beautifully. Looking lush, green, and full of promise – can’t wait to see how they take off in the next phase! 🌱✨

4/18/25 They started a new week now so to say🙂. They are all looking wonderful, between 11 and 12 cm tall. 😍🍅🍅💚 Grow babbbbiieess😍🍅💚 4/21/25 So I transplanted them today in a soil mix with 70% tomatoes soil (store bought) and 30% old soil with perlite. Also on top of the soil i put some volcanic stone. They got their spot on the balcony now and my "little balcony garden" concept is starting to take shape. Almost done but all the plants must now just grow😊🌱💚 They got watered with plain water PHed down to about PH 6.🍅🍅❤️💚🌱 4/23/25 They are all super happy and bathing in the sun. They look strong, lush and growing. My balcony garden concept is coming slowly true. 😁😍 Grow babieees growwwwwww💚🍅😍😍
