- WEEK 8 - ----- Day 50 ----- Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on. Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide. The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug... Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH 5-15+ days left. 2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period. Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember. I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant. ----- Day 51 ----- Easy day of watching. Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear. Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all. I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go. I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked. ----- Day 52 ----- Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week. Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs. Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably. Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl ----- Day 53 ----- Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again. I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today. I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only. Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way. Colors are going wild. Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then. ----- Day 54 ----- 1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed Here's some pics. Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber. ----- Day 55 ----- Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy. Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies. Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58 Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses. ----- Day 56 ----- Didnt even bother with ppm/pH. Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters. Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa) God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet... I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other) A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock. 6 days for Tropicana. Probably 8 for Wedding Cake. Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen. Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow). Should be interesting. *** update *** Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go? rofl

This is my favorite plant of the 16oz dutch bucket grow. She has grow fast, healthy, and has a beautiful structure. She is putting on some nice tops. She is starting to show some drooping on the top leaves in the evening since being put under the quantum boards. But she perks back up in the morning so I think she will keep chugging along. I'm thinking I will easily exceed 2 oz on harvest if I can see her to the end. Got the nutrient pumping and the lights beaming. Not much else to do from here on out

So here we are at the end of the first week. This one is a few days behind the others so she's the runt of the bunch. For now anyway 😉. We'll see how she does now after getting some Ferments in her soil! Not much to report on other than what we're feeding and that's the alfalfa Ferment and BAS Craft blend that's was pre mixed into their medium. We probably won't amend until bloom/late veg unless these girls look hungry but I'm sure they'll be fine. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 60: flush 💦 Pictures are taken on day 62📸 -------------------------------------------- I found again some bud rot 😑 cutted the hole bud 😑 (last pictures) Happy growing 🍧🌱

Week 8 - Stretch seems pretty much done, cheesy funk smell has arrived too

The Big Detroit energy will be my go to Strain taste smell and appearance all there!

i was away for a week and i strongly suggest everyone to use blumats... its a life changer.

Ill update this more as I continue to cut down, dry, trim, and finally squish!

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

Really coming on now. Some buds might have light damage :( really putting on weight now though. Pepe is very uniform but getting smooshed into door. For later. Watching trics now but all looks on schedule. Starting to get excited now. Thanks for looking ☮️

Alga Bloom was add. Nothing to do this week, no problems with plant. Plant stretching PH 6.2 - 6.6

3/27/25 Watering with RO water and FinalPart to wash out salts. About 2 days from now is chop time. Watering 4 times a day for 45-50sec each watering. Light at 90% intensity. Dehumidifier running 24/7 set to 45% RH, tent RH is ranging from 45-55%. Buds swelled up good. The different phenos are very visible, (A) is front left, (B) x2 to the right in front and back, (C) bis left back. (B) is definitely finishing faster than the rest, I'll try to harvest them sooner when they are done. The ladies looking beutiful.

Hey guys! Here's the 3rd week of flower! 😻 This week I trimmed my babies (just a little, about 8 leaves or less each plant). Some leaves were healthy but were blocking a lot of light from the flowers and tucking them wasn't doing the job anymore. Besides that Boomer stretched out a lot (which also worried me as I didn't want my babies to go wild on me. I LSTed some of them hoping that would fix the issue). Where I live has been getting somewhat cold at night and I fear that might be doing something to my babies (I hope to be wrong). Besides that the flowers are getting bigger everyday and some are even starting to show some trichomes (I think looks cute!). The pistils are also getting bigger and the smell is stronger now (it was already strong). Near the end of the week I saw Falco's leaves were getting yellow and I suspect it is nitrogen deficiency... and what's causing it is probably some residues at the end of the pot (so I might need to flush her) or maybe I just need to feed her more nutes). Keep in mind she used to be quite small during veg and only in the end she grew enough to be transplanted to a bigger pot. Maybe she's just special? This week you'll see less timelapses compared to last week... I forgot to take photos for about 3 days 😅 but at least there are some! I hope you'll enjoy what I'm sharing! Thanks for reading! 👋

Es geht in den Endspurt, die Trichome auf den Headbuds werden langsam Bernsteinfarben. Die leicht beschatteten Buds haben noch einige transparente Trichome und dürfen daher ein paar weitere Tage an der Pflanze bleiben. Leider gab es in der letzten Woche in inneren von drei Buds beginnenden Schimmel. Buds wurden vollständig entsorgt somit (42g) Nassgewicht an den Pilz geopfert. Die drei weiteren letzte Woche geernteten Buds (46g Nass) waren nicht betroffen und trocknen schon für eine Vorverkostung. :) Die Headbuds werden aufgrund ihrer vortgeschrittenen Reife und steigenden Schimmelgefahr schon zu Beginn dieser Woche abgeerntet. Unglaublich wie massiv diese Buds gewachsen sind.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

So far so good, she is growing fast. 4 inches taller in only 3 days. On day 21 I defoliated plant #2 ( 3 gallon pot ) as shown in picture. Removed 4 fan leaves as they were touching other areas blocking light and air flow. It also looks only days away from flowering so have introduced bloom as well as a little cal mag to my nutrients. Voodoo juice & b52 will no longer be in my nute regime after this last feed. On day 21 i Fed 2 litres to the 5 gallon pot and 1.5 litres to the 3 gallon pot. Day 24 Trying out some LST on 1 plant as shown in picture. Pots were light again so gave a very weak nute feed and Ph'd to 6 to try bring it down a little as the run of was 7. They seem to be thriving and are thirsty.

Hi everyone :-) This week it has developed really well 😍. it was also topped for the first time. Like the Cup, I will not do an LST here either, just top it a few times 😃. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

At this point, you just do what you gotta do. Beautiful process of learning that comes to an end. Now we just have to wait until it's ready to smoke, maybe in a couple of weeks.

Girls got a little stressed out as you can see in the images, but they will flourish after a defoliation and a good feed...
