3/1: water flush + a rather ballsy defoliation. This is one dense MFer. Bud sites are heavy and I suspect will need support. Even though she's got something going on with her leaves (likely light burn), she's a good producer.

Right in the middle of flower now, I can basically see the buds getting bigger each day. Gave them a big drink of Aloe Vera Juice, its high in silica and trichomes are up to 86% silica so... Reeks of lemons this one does.

BB2 and GG2 showing widely scattered amber trichomes on the main cola mostly. Neither tent has a strong smell yet. Not the most fragrant strains, from what I'm reading. Learning to use my USB microscope for trichome pictures. Difficult to hold steady for good pics in the tent. Don't want to pull pots out anymore. Tips for better trichomes pics would be greatly appreciated!

What's happening?! Sorry for being a day late. But the buds on WISDOM and PATIENCE are very sticky and have a great fragrance. I have cut the feeding servings down to one nutrient, which is the Tiger Bloom, to focus on the last stages of flowering. With ANNIE and LOYALTY(White Widow), I only feed them Morbloom. When growing outside, your cultivation takes a bit longer. You have to allow nature to run it's coarse. To all growers, stay dangerous. There is no point playing defense.

12 days after the switch Tropicanna Banana shows her sex and officially begins flowering. On day 28 I started with the Bio Heaven and Acti Vera stimulators, although the soil is prefertilized for only 2 weeks, the girls are in perfect shape and for now they don't need fertilizers. I inserted wooden supports in the grow to reduce the effect of negative pressure, it took away important space for growing. This week i've stopped using the humidifier.

Pretty much half of the flowering cycle has been completed! 28 days today. She's very vigorous, thickening up and frosting A LOT. I've also done some more gentle LST to spread a few branches further because new shoots are coming everywhere. Beautiful to look at. It's been quite moist at night, the sun sometines only starts at 10 am because of fog. When I decide to grow we have the rainiest year in the past 13 years and also the coldest May since 2006, fuck...at least the RH drops to 30% when the sun's at max, it's also been quite cold, that'll probably avoid mold problems. She started to smell very gently this week. Started as a ripe guava sort of smell that has now developed to VERY sweety and fruity profile. Strong skittles smell when I press the flowers, which is awesome! I'm a big sugar fan, I did not expect this smell but I just loved it! Thank you for visiting and see you next week! I'm so anxious I keep having dreams about her, mostly nightmares where someone chops her up or a bug kills everything...want to harvest soon 😂

I was told to never judge a strain purely off it's THC percentage. To smell a plant, and what your nose picks out is generally the strain that will jive the best with the endocannabinoid system in your body. This strain exemplifies that. It's only around 17% but the high is amazing. An under-rated strain for sure. Very easy strain to grow. Although the same strain, one looked pretty different and was much frostier despite getting the exact same treatment from seed to chop.

Great start for week 8, did some defoliation and removed some low leaves, did not feed Floragro since I don't want them to grow more ( No space ) after stoped feeding them Flora grow, they focused on blooming. Interesting week so far.

01/31/2026 This week is all about training. There won't be much due to the size, but once she starts to stretch a little bit, I'll get some bud clips in there. She's already showing her sex. AND she has 9 finger fan leaves. Hell yeah! Very healthy plant. Nothing wrong with her at all except her height. Just short. And the only reason short is bad for me is training. It's much harder to train a shorter plant, unless I cut off the big fan leaves. Which of course will be done probably next week when the side branches have some good leaves as well. Then I can work some training. Also the branches will be longer and much easier to manipulate. I was going to change the water out today because we are dropping 3 nutrients for the next 2 weeks. But the reserve bucket is really cold. I'm warming it up by the heater, but it's gonna take the majority of the day to get it up to a reasonable temp. Right now it's at 56° f. Much too cold for a possible 20 minute dip. I have to add the nutrients in the actual bucket instead of the gallon jugs. It's much easier to dump 10 ml of nutrients into 1 bucket vs 2.5 ml each in 4 jugs. It's just 4 times faster doing it in the reservoir. Of course when I can't lift the plant out of the water, I'll have to start pumping. No big deal, but still I don't like the fact that I won't be able to at least wipe the bucket out before refilling it. Ya know? Oh well. Frankly, in my opinion, it's a recipe for disaster. But I'll manage. And then I'll have to load the jugs up first. Or the reserve bucket and pump the mix in from there. The environment looks a little wonky today. But seems to be sitting in a good spot when it finally levels out for a bit. Not that it hasn't been wonky the whole run, but it seems to be leveling out now that the plants are starting to contribute to the environmental conditions. Temp still isn't getting high enough for long enough. It hits 77° for a bit then drops down to 72° for a bit then back up. Mostly because the humidity is either high or super low and it's messing with the temp. They can't mesh well. It's because of the lung room. Too cold by the tent and much too dry. I will note though that the heater hasn't overheated since I put it in the tent. Shame my tent isn't big enough to hold it. Especially when the scrog net goes up. Maybe I'll be able to use the heater outside the tent again with the hose. I'd much like to have my space back. Lol. I mean, it fits, but it takes up a lot of space in the back. The cool part is it's level with the buckets, so the hot air doesn't seem to be hitting them that much. Definitely keeping the buckets cooler. I didn't need to add an ice bottle today. Yet anyway. I don't think I'll need to. Maybe tonight as I won't be changing nutrients out today. Not with the reserve bucket so cold. And by the time it warms up, it'll be too late to change the nutrients. I prefer to change them in the morning and do the trimming at night. Just seems like a good routine to have. The trimming before bed will help the plant recover from the stress and to heal. During the day with a new bucket of fresh nutrients, the plant can focus on those and growth and energy uptake instead of spending the day healing. At least that's the theory I'm working with. If I'm wrong please someone tell me. 02/01/2026 Today is water swap day. The reserve bucket is in temp range and pHed ready to go. I checked the water temp earlier and it was perfectly fine from last night at 67.9°. Glad I figured out the water heating problem. Now it should be much easier to manage the water quality. Also, the pH is still perfectly in range sitting stable at 6.1. I'd like it down to 5.8, but that's not how this nutrient blend works. It sits at 6.1. of course, I'll pH to 5.8 when I mix the new batch, but it's going to hit 6.1 and stay there. Maybe I'll bring it back down to 5.8 every couple of days. That might be a pretty good idea. That way we get the swing a bit and more nutrients can be unlocked easier. Or I'll just leave it alone as one should. It's pH perfect, so I should let it do the pH perfect thing and not mess with it. I dunno. Plant... She is beautiful. Huge green leaves. 9 finger leaves still coming out. Amazing color. Still short though. Not the most exciting news. I'd like her to be close to a foot tall by now. But as I said yesterday, she is already showing her sex, so the pre flower stretch should begin shortly. Like in the next few days maybe? Maybe a week? Either way, flowering is fast approaching. That's for sure. I should be all prepped for it. I have my trellis net in the tent ready to be hooked up in case I need it. Indeed, I may need it. This is an extremely healthy plant. I can see the potential super growth coming on. The leaves are HUGE. and if the leaf size signifies the potential size of the plant, then the plant will be huge. At least if that be the case. Which it might be. Probably not? Readings: pH: 6.45 EC: 1004 TDS: 502 Temp: 64.5° 02/02/2026 pH was way off this morning. I don't know what happened. But if I remember correctly, I read that the pH Perfect part of the name only works best when it's on the 700 to 1000 range. Mine is 500. Lol. Not sure how to fix that considering the fact it would be way too much for this little lady. Maybe when she hits flower. Then I think we should be good with 700 or so. She's gotta get up to size. That's all. Funny how she isn't having issues, but the bigger Apple Strudel has some pretty knarly nitrogen toxicity. Anyway, she seems Perfectly fine. Great color. Super strong branches. But also flexible. Too short use the bud clips though, shame that. This is the training week and she's not cooperating. Lol. Branches are barely long enough to get a clip in. But only 2 can get it. So I'm going to have to wait and see. Maybe with her height, I'll get a naturally even canopy and won't have to do much training. It's kind of a bummer that I can't tie her down like I normally would. No anchors. Otherwise she would probably be a bit bigger. Maybe. I find that they tend to grow a bit faster when tying down the top. Gets the blood pumping. Lol. For the most part, that is. The branches get more energy and flgrow faster in turn making the plant bigger. Maybe not tall, but wide. I almost want to top her, but I think it's too late now. It's week 3 of veg and there's already white pistils. Hopefully I'll get another week of full veg before the preflower stretch starts. I really need to train this lady out. I don't want to snip the leaves. We'll see how it goes. Maybe I won't have to snip all of them. Just a few would be fine. Oh and the water temp was fine. 68.7° but I added an ice bottle anyway. I'd like that temp to stay around 67°. In a bad note, I think I screwed up and contaminated this bucket. The Apple Strudel has an algae bloom and I accidentally used the same stirring stick for both buckets when I was pHing them. We shall see if it causes an issue. Also isn't hydrogaurd supposed to prevent this from happening? I'll have to look into that. Anyway, the environment is still messy, but I think it's artificial. The humidity seems to bounce with the heat as it has been. Both units turn off though, so that's good. I just need them to turn off at the right readings. Lol. That's all for the day. We'll see what tomorrow brings. 02/03/2026 She looks great! STRONG branches. No training available. I did however hand press the top down. I really wish I could tie her down. Hand training takes a lot of work. Not that I mind, but like damn. I gotta be in the tent like 12 times a day and I don't want to do that. The heater started overheating AGAIN. It seems to be fine now, but I wonder how it did it. It's not hot in the tent. The water didn't even get hot. However I do think I need to add an ice bottle just in case. Her pH was high. 6.7. while the EC and TDS stayed the same. EC 1000 and TDS 506. That's all for now. 02/04/2026 So I haven't recorded the light in a bit. We are currently at: DLI: 34.6 PPFD: 530 I had to pH her yet again. It was like 6.7 today. I don't know what to do here. Except to continue pHing daily. Personally, I think it's the algae I can't get rid of. But also, there's less plant food in the bucket. I recorded 502 I believe and now it's at 492. Not much of a dip, but the EC also dipped to 973. So she looks amazing. Her branches are thick and strong. There will be no taming this little lady. I'm thinking she hopefully will take to a clip or 2 when she starts to stretch. I dunno though. At this rate she's gonna have a trunk and arms for branches. Lol. Now that there's plants in the tent that have some mass to them, the environment is now adjusting itself accordingly. And it looks good. However, the damned air filter is clogged again. So I'm gonna have to replace the charcoal in it. Then everything will be fine. I also increased the light intensity slightly and raised the light back up to about 23" it's not much of an increase, but she started to reach pretty good last night, so I figured today was a good day to adjust the light. She should continue growing into it. Next week, I'll increase the intensity again. Probably to 40 mol. Maybe a little lower. She needed no pHing. Everything else in the water looks good. This plant is extremely healthy and happy. I did replace the ice bottle though. The water was around 69°. Now it's down to 66°. 02/05/2026 She got a half gallon top off today. Looking fantastic! Beautiful green. Vibrant. Very healthy. Nothing else to say really. pH is on point. Environment is actually doing good finally. I'm not worried about the EC or TDS at the moment. It's stable. However, when flowering starts, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it. For now, it's just the training. Which looks great! Kinda slow going as I'm unable to tie branches down. Too thick and stiff to clip. So I'm kinda stuck waiting for the first couple days of the stretch. 02/06/2026 Last day of the week. We'll start next week with a bump in light intensity and see what happens there. I'm leaving the nutrients alone for the week. I believe the preflower stretch should be starting any day now. I'll change the nutrients after that I think. I think that's how the feeding schedule goes. Anyway, I can't sleait to see some stretch with this one. She's so compact and short. So a thing I thought of with training, or lack there of. This plant could only be tied down or scrogged. The branches are too thick and stiff from day one. It's good and bad. Good because I know the plant is super healthy. Bad because I can't train them. Lol. Oh well. Alone she should be a pretty good producer. And her branches are all close together in height, so the stretch should provide a fairly level canopy. I think I'll snip the big fan leaves off tomorrow. Start of a new week and new access to the plant. She'll be super compact. The big leaves are starting to become a hinderance to the growth of the plant I think. They are blocking branches and possible bud sites. I'll also clean up the bottom of the plant. I don't want any larf or popcorn buds. Should t be too much to clean up. Maybe a few leaves and tiny branch sites. It'll pay off in the end. That's for sure. The environment is good. Yay! Well, so far it's good. And has been for a couple days now. I'm definitely gonna have to change out the charcoal in the air filter. It's clogged and I don't think it'll be beneficial in the flowering stage. The pre-filter is completely white now. I have to take it off and replace it with another one. SMH. I really wish I could get rid of the dust, but alas, I'm not using distilled water for my humidifier. The water costs too much for that. Although, now that the environment is finally manageable, I don't think I'll be needing the humidifier soon anyway. I replaced the ice bottle this morning. The water definitely wasn't warm, so it should be all good. Everything is going good.

We are doing very well, this Indica has developed a lot of internodes, I expect big dense buds of flowers, the structure has become robust, with large and thick palmate leaves, the plant has a bushy structure, has stopped growing in height and is standing. proceeding to grow the flowers in width, I really like the purple that you see a little everywhere, the leaves at the base are starting to die as it should, even the vase has taken a certain weight, the climate is still a lot hot no rain, but at least there's a bit of wind all the time, I feed the plant with 1078 PPM, and 3 L of water a day, overall I am very satisfied with Ayuaska purple is vigorous and vital, a nice Indica. I eliminated some black insects that I discovered to be harmful, luckily I caught them all in a group as soon as they came out of the eggs, it was easy to exterminate them, I also administered the mycorizia to the ground (which I do every 6 weeks) to avoid mold and diseases .💪

Hello hello! This past week was filled with explosive new growth; these clones certainly live up to the standards set by their mother. So much so, in fact, that I decided to take two more cuttings. We'll see if they root. This will be either the final or the second-to-last week of veg for these plants as they've nearly filled the space completely and are beginning to shoot upwards. A lesson I learned with Carl&UKBS 1 was the "perfect window" of veg time- filling the space and maximizing yield while still allowing airflow to prevent mold. HST and LST will continue into flower, HST will stop at F7. LST will continue until harvest as I'm not scrogging the plants this time around. -9/20- Tomorrow the new week will begin and the clones will be flipped to flower. Wish me luck!

11/15 Coming along but not without problems. 3+ weeks in now I'm in the stage where I'm just trying to push all the right buttons and guide it to harvest. They've all demonstrated some level stress but bud formation is coming along well. I dont know if I'm just used to the smell but it hasn't really gotten much stronger. I'll try to take some more pics later on. The past week has been a little busy.
