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

Week 6 begins with some watering, currently every third day, so two days in between. Dosage for now is 5ml/l of bloom at around 1.5-1.6 EC, 5.8-5.9 PH. Did some light Defoliation (very light). removed the training stakes and wires. they looking beautiful and healthy. Net is back in action! 22/03 Watered with 1.5L, 5.8 PH 1.6EC each. Light Defoliation

Week 2. Has been just watching the girls grow. Watering the girls with recharge mixed with ro water yesterday. Phed to 6.4

I topped Lost Pearl twice early on but instead of typical bushy indica plant, it grew long branches like sativa. Stretched a lot during transition, but ended up being a 100% indica with compact dense frosty buds with sweet landrace/candy mix of smell and more earthy, woody taste.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Tropicanna poison... Nice plant well done Sweet Seeds.... Little beauty sex appears by the pistils are coming out so I assume strech is ending soon :) All good look at her fertilization happnes every 2nd day by the mix above and the ratio. Let's see.... She is promising haha :)

Was hoping to have them all ready for the chop in under 90 day but starting to look like just 2 of them 🤔

I made it through my first ever grow!!! Im very satisfied with the whole process and the size of the yield. I am a little bummed of how much size and weight the buds lose in the curing process! I felt this grow wasnt difficult. Topped the plants once and for the most part them the girls do their thing. Thank you for the advice and confidence boosters from all of the other growers out there!

I have checked the plants and one plant is now showing about 10% amber trichomes on old growth. New growth clear. Starting to see some nice colour changes across the canopy. Have fed them a weaker feed to start the week but included a microbe tea.

The best genetics with the best nutrients

Going well

21 July: start flowering i took clones 4days ago that will veg bigger but for now i want to flower early as i think this plant will stretch more then the indicas im used to.

I spend less time with them my friend usually look after them. She went on holiday so I will be with them lucky ones. They are okay big plants flowering nicely I constantly removing old yellow leafs. All the same they do well :).

German version below. This week was all about training for The Tropical Ice Cream One. After having great success with a second SCROG net on our Permanent Marker, we decided to use the same approach for this grow. We picked up a new SCROG system at Mary Jane, and this week it finally got its first real job. Setting up the net was the easy part. The real work started afterwards. Branch by branch, we carefully tucked every shoot into the second net and repositioned it. Our goal was to create an even canopy so every future bud site receives as much light as possible and can develop to its full potential. It took several hours of patience, but the result was definitely worth the effort. The height difference across the entire canopy is currently only 2 centimeters. That is exactly what we aim for when building an even SCROG canopy. Now it is time to keep our hands off and let her do the rest. She handled the training exceptionally well and can now settle into her new shape over the next few days. We are excited to see how the second SCROG net will influence flower development and yield during the coming weeks. After all the stress from the training session, she was rewarded with an extra serving of Bio Heaven and Acti Vera as a little treat. 😁 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Diese Woche stand bei der The Tropical Ice Cream One ganz im Zeichen des Trainings. Nachdem wir mit der Permanent Marker sehr gute Erfahrungen mit einem zweiten SCROG Netz gemacht haben, wollten wir dieses Konzept auch bei dieser Pflanze umsetzen. Auf der Mary Jane haben wir uns dafür ein neues SCROG System gegönnt, das nun endlich zum Einsatz kam.Der Aufbau war schnell erledigt, die eigentliche Arbeit begann aber erst danach. Trieb für Trieb wurde vorsichtig in das zweite Netz eingefädelt und neu ausgerichtet. Ziel war es, eine möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilung der zukünftigen Blüten zu erreichen, damit jede ausreichend Licht bekommt und sich optimal entwickeln kann.Das hat einige Stunden Geduld gekostet, aber das Ergebnis spricht für sich. Der Höhenunterschied über die gesamte Zeltfläche beträgt aktuell gerade einmal zwei Zentimeter. Genau so stellen wir uns ein gleichmäßig trainiertes Blütendach vor. Jetzt heißt es erstmal Finger weg und wachsen lassen. Die Pflanze hat das Training hervorragend mitgemacht und darf sich in den nächsten Tagen in ihrer neuen Form entfalten. Wir sind gespannt, wie sich das zusätzliche SCROG Netz in den kommenden Blütewochen auf Ertrag und Blütenentwicklung auswirken wird. Nach dem Stress des Trainings hat sie eine extra Portion Bio Heaven und Activera als kleines "Leckerlie" bekommen. 😁

The plant realizes there is an overabundance of light and it seems to understand this and develops accordingly. I see a mass monster. Focused on rates of photosynthesis, instead of photomorphogenesis. Added a custom Lakhovsky ring around the base. It is positioned in such a way that it rotates on itself, as in the photo, and an energy field will develop all around. If we have only 1 ring, the opening goes true north and the 2 wires must not touch. With 2 rings of different diameters, I can alternate North / South openings. (4x10" Copper wire wrapped in aluminum sheathing then further coil wrapped with copper)

During this week, in addition to gnats and hydrophobic soil, I faced high humidity at night and poor ventilation inside the grow tent. I felt this delayed the development of the sprouts. I used only pure water for watering, and even then, I did it in small volumes (50 to 100ml) several times to combat poor nutrient absorption on top of the pot due to the hydrophobic soil. I also applied Bacillus to control the gnats in the larval stage. I noticed that my traps had fewer each day, but it's difficult to completely eliminate these little demons.

great!!! the girl gained momentum :) and started growing rapidly :) she looks healthy, maybe a little sad, due to the lack of space for roots and leaves, but I believe she will get used to it :) good luck to everyone:)
