June 7: Tropicana Cookies is growing quickly after the late start. Should be a good strong plant. June 9: warm today and she’s ready for the first topping to build the manifold. See video. Tip: spray hose water on the leaves to compensate for the low relative humidity during the daytime. Plants grow much better in the dry air when their leaves get wet. Maybe a couple times a day. Makes a big difference. June 10: wildfire smoke is back but not as bad as in 2023. At least not here, and not yet. Tropicana Cookies FF growing fast after being topped yesterday. This is going to be a very good plant, I’m sure.

Started the first week of flowering 💚🌱

gonna water today. watering every 3rd day. working on the mainline continues

Love love this strain!! Humboldt Seed Org is my top breeder choice right now. Keeping those California genetics alive and clean!

Hello everyone 🤩 she grew fast and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves! She has responded superbly to low stress training and topping & i defoliated her aswell and seems didn't even notice 😎 For the nutrient half grow half bloom and power buds 1ml/L Spider Farme SE7000 70% Wish you all a good day and happy growing 😎

I'm very happy whit this strain. The plant didnt get very tall, i have 8 nice colas which yielded almost 80 g's of dry bud. The smell is very intense. I did tasted some of the buds and high is very good - euphoric and creative. I cant wait to see what happens after some curing in jars.

13 Jun 2021 Continuing to flush my DarkStar Kush probably for another week at least. If I were following my original plan, I would be cutting her down today and starting the harvest. However, the runoff is still colored (not as much as it was, but still), and the TDS runoff was higher today than yesterday by almost 200 ppm. I’ve added new pics for this new week to show how she’s changing colors later in her life. She’s begging to be harvested, but I want to smoke her and not her nutrients! I’ve already waited this long, what’s another week or so. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. I gave her a gallon of water chilled to 49.2 degrees F, and gave her 20 drops of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH from its initial 8.2 to a final pH of 6.7. The TDS going in was 76 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.3, and TDS runoff was 1740 ppm (up from 1462 ppm yesterday). Tent temperature was 82 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. 14 Jun 2021 Continuing with the flush today. Feeding a gallon of 45.5 degree F water with nothing more than 22 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to make it just right. Initial pH was 8.4, and adjusted down to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.4, and TDS runoff was 1377 ppm. Working in the right direction at least. TDS runoff yesterday was 1740 ppm, so a reduction of 363 ppm today, but still a ways to go. Tent temperature was 82 degrees F and humidity was 47%. She’s looking more and more ready for harvest each day! Uploaded some pics of her colorful foliage today along with some new trichome pics. They’re almost all cloudy/milky with some amber interspersed here and there. Come on flush!! Do your job! 😜 16 Jun 2021 Went out of town on a day trip yesterday, so no watering was done, but I’m back today to continue the flush. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 43%. Thought I’d start off backwards today in my note from the norm. I gave a gallon of cold water (51 degrees F) with 20 drops of pH DOWN to adjust the initial pH of 8.2 to 6.5. The TDS going in was 83 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.5, which to me is promising, and the TDS runoff was 814 ppm. That’s a decrease of 563 ppm since the last watering/flush on the 14th. Hopefully in just a couple of days I’ll be able to start the harvest because she is READY!! I took more trichome pics today which were marvelous! They are perfect (to my untrained and inexperienced eye)! Hopefully I’m just days away!! 17 Jun 2021 Continuing the flush another day. The TDS runoff is still decreasing a little bit every day. Today I’ll be uploading a video instead of a bunch of pics. I already have a lot for this week, so I figured I’d do something different. I’m still giving chilled, and properly pH’ed fresh water. Nothing else. So, today I gave a gallon of H2O chilled to 51F. The initial pH was 8.4, so I added 22 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.5, and TDS was 758 ppm. There is a 56 ppm decrease from yesterday, and I was hoping for much more, but it is what it is. I’ll keep going till it is better till harvest. Looking at the plant, it’s losing several leaves that are just drying up and falling off. Not a lot, but about as much as should be expected at this stage. The plant, trichomes, and buds are ready for harvest, but I want to make sure that I get all the nutrients out before I do it. Thankfully, I’m a patient person! 19 Jun 2021 I’ve been doing the flush for 2 weeks now, and the TDS runoff is still measuring 647 ppm. Honestly, I don’t know what the level should be for the harvest, but I’m getting to the point where I just want to go ahead and do it. Her buds are looking awesome, and many of the sugar leaves have turned dark purple, but she’s losing a lot of her bigger leaves. None of the ones around any buds, so I’m not concerned with it that much. However, I don’t want the trichomes to get more amber. The vast majority are milky, which is what I’m looking for with only a smattering of amber here and there. She’s just right!! Anyway, I gave a gallon of water at 48.7F with an initial pH of 8.3. I added 21 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.7. The TDS going in was 71 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.7 (it has consistently been the same or just a decimal point off from that going in for the last week or so). The runoff TDS was 647 ppm as noted above. Tent temperature was 84F, and humidity was 48%.

The plants have been receiving around 1300 µmol of light for more than a week. The osmosis water is enriched with fertiliser up to 1.9 ms This value is not expected to rise any further as the plants have become very dark green. There may only be water for a few days. The development up to this point in the 4th week of flowering is very satisfactory. Both genetics have obviously been thoroughly selected.

Week 4 flower the girls are looking amazing Zkittlez og auto flower..... Not the best strain in the garden... Well more like the worst so this will be the last crop with that strain in it had to crops now with it and I'd say I'm abit bored off it it takes so long to flower its unreal.... Plus I'd only give the smoke 5/10 Royal cheese fast flower......... This strain I got a bit later on so I've o LG given her 2 weeks veg and I've got 2 off this strain in my garden I've topped one and left the other to Grow natural,, and with only 2 weeks veg theses are doing really well... Critical...... This strain only got 2 weeks veg as well only one in the garden and she's doing OK growing well so no complaints... Now to the other side off the tent... There's 9 plant on this side so..... Blue gelato 41....

Bubblegum xxl..... Growing very well very heavy tops gonna have some big nugs of this one and finally... Northern lights... She's growing well just abit skinny to all the rest off the girls but still got some beautiful flowers on her.... Thanks guys UK grower blueboy

Day 28- business as usual. May top dress end of this week, not sure. But smells and trichs are setting up and no signs of deficiencies. I probably could push them more but it’s all good for now. Day 30- ditched the trellis and did a heavier defol as the humidity would reach 73 with lights off. See if we can get some better airflow and fatter lowers. No top dress this week

Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

✅0,25g Madame Grow - Amino Canna in 500ml water ✅0,5g Madame Grow - Wild Bloom Powder in 500ml water (Every fertilizer was given separately and on different days!) The whole plant is getting a purplish color.

Hello:) it was a good week again:) my biggest enemy at the moment is my dehumidifier, I need to empty it every day to keep everything in check:) other than that, smooth sailing so far. They more then doubled in size since the flip and I think they should now mostly be done stretching. I also did the first big defoliation, I removed about the bottom half. The flowers also seem to develop a little bit faster than last time:)

Today is day 23 of flower and she’s still stretching. It seems the one I have is really stretchy which makes me happy I put the lower trellis net where I did. Maybe it’s an act of cannabis defiance for being so stunted at the beginning or perhaps I’m just anthropomorphizing lol. I did minimal defoliation the first 21 days of flower and since then I’ve done it each day little by little. I’ll probably do one more bigger defoliation tomorrow nightand then I’ll probably step back and let nature take back over. At day twenty she started to smell rather syrupy. I feel like that’s early for a cultivar to start smelling this noticeably strong considering that it’s estimated to average around 60 days in flower according to HSC. I’m hoping this means she’s gonna have like 4D terpenes and crazy strong cannabinoid profile lol. The Blumat is keeping her perfectly watered. I think it’s translating to a much heartier and healthier plant than when I was watering by hand. I’m waiting for my typical mid flower nutrient issue to show up any day now and if it doesn’t I’m gonna thank the Blumat for that and assume my previous plants mid flower issues were due to me not meeting the voracious water demands of a plant in early flower.

😍😍 suga suga baby, starting to get caked!!!! wow shes looking and smelling amazing. 3-4 weeks until harvest. MY favorite time of the run of course!! Pretty much smooth sailing, not much defoilation to do at this point and the scrog is all done so just water and enjoy the beautiful sights and smells!!!!!! Have contiunued to use the microbial mass for roots and rezin for the smell and trichs. Enjoy the beautiful pics my friends!!!!

2nd week of stretch in the books and the males showed up on time. We pared the grow down by 4/5 plants. I think I’ve got at least one more male to cull from the lot. Still having serious struggles with getting the females to transition in earnest and cut back all the fan leaves pretty severely to try and encourage some stress induced fruiting. Still very unhappy with the strain to date and now they’re just taking up space. No issues, nor were any expected in this system and I’ll be happy to be done with these. Now it’s just waiting for the finish.

Apart of increasing the dose of topmax to 4ml/L there was no much to report for this week until the last day of the week. There was an accident with a frozen bottle that is placed next to the fan to blow some cold air in the tent. It fell down and the fan was hitting the queen straight and made her bent a lot to the side. I hope she didnt get stressed 😒. Now she is tied to a reed.

What's up Growmies🤟🏽. I am back with another week #9 is in the books, hello Week #10. I noticed small rust spots and yellowing on the top sugar leaves on Tropicana Cookies, White LSD #2 and Caramelicious. It isn't fungus, (it doesn't rub off and is more like its burned into the leaf rather than growing on it) so I'm guessing it is due to a lack of calcium or magnesium. As a result I have implemented calmag into the feedings. I swear it creeped up out of nowhere. Other than that things are going very well, I am enjoying the journey. It is crazy to me how my 2 white LSD plants while the same seed have taken on different characteristics. White LSD #2 has taken on a pinkish/red undertone which looks pretty amazing if you ask me. I wonder if I mislabeled it at the beginning of my grow and if it is actually my Tropicana Purple Cookies? I doubt it but then again I was high around the time I put these babies from their incubators into their final home. Not much to report other than I stopped smoking new years eve, so for the first time in a long time I have clean urine🙌🏾🙌🏾. I mainly stopped to take a tolerance break and to prove to myself that I am in control. I will be tasting these suckers once they are done. I did the same thing on my last grow, took a little over 90 day hiatus, once harvested and I decided to smoke, boy was I super zooted! It was like the first time I got high, had me questioning why I smoke because I was sooo stoned😂. I'm looking forward to feeling that way again. It won't be long now another 7 to 8 weeks (including 1 week to dry and 2 to cure) and I will be smoking again more than likely. I still have them on a 2 waterings with nutes and 2 waterings with plain ph'd water schedule. Going forward I plan on adding calmag into the mix, which is something I didn't have to use on any of my 6 previous grows, we shall see how it goes. Until next time my friends, Happy Growing, and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾
