1/30/23 The tent is happy and flowering beautifully. This week I started using spinosad to get rid of thrips. The lady bugs have been helping so far but they aren’t killing all of them and they are dying fast. All plants doing well, no big issues to report. I have noticed that the two that I brought in last week were a little shocked by the higher light and had some photo issues and turned light green. But they’re recovering.

Usually keep in the shed in the evenings but a rather strong edible made me forget that I left the plant outside overnight.. she was covered in dew in the morning and it was overcast so the sun wasn't burning it off. Because of this, I pulled her maybe 1 week too soon but she was almost done so can't complain. Only downside was I lost 30g + to bud rot during drying 😭

Pretty busy week this week. repotted in to 5 gallon pots, defoliation just before switching to 12/12. Added a Scrog to the canopy. Also added a better fresh air in take to try and drop the humidity. Although it didn’t make much difference so ordered a better dehumidifier with a humidistat.

Woche 12

Getting very close to harvest, buds are not monsters but in the time it took them to grow I'm very impressed. I've seen many many other diaries of this strain where they've been flowering for much longer for a smaller plant.

The plants don't have enough space to grow. The spaces are crowded, and there's poor air circulation between the plants. I'll give them attention until the end.

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. Decided to finally finish this diary so that on New Year eve I'm not opening the year with unfinished business. Now we cut the second Tropicanna XL auto plant, the first cut you can find in week 17. The plant from week 17 weighted 2.6 kilo wet, this one finished at 2.1kg. wet. The girls where autoflower but thanks to me starting this grow in cold day temps (14 degree Celsius) the started flower really late and grew and grew :) I enjoyed growing this strain immensely, smells so sweet and fruity, she has the most intense and most delicious aroma ever She brunches off like crazy, gave me a ton of big and dense bud. They were the biggest plants I have ever grown and to top that this cultivar rewarded me with one of the most tasteful buds, fit even for a picky connesour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SE7000 done it's magic with this grow as with all my other grow ops. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture ($ to gram) here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Thank you all for your companionship on this voyage, I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as I did. Also thank you for this awesome year together here. Together with my little family we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy slide into the New Year, we love you all.

D1: Sprouted and healthy! D3: Growing slowly but steady. She ended the week looking real good and healthy, I think she´ll be a nice plant, she doesn´t seem to have any kind of pheno weakness.

Decidí no hacer ningún corte Tampoco ningun lst ni nada Solo dejarlas ser por esta vez...

Happy healthy plants, i love you my ladys. Grow Your Own!💚🍁💜🙌 Ripper seeds, limited edition, strain Sunset Sherbet x Purple Punch.💜🤩 Best limited seeds!

🤤The smell is delicious! ✌️🎃Thank you for checking my cultivation.

I will be running Blue Dream in my flower room but they havent even rooted yet. In the mean time, since shes getting huge lol I decided to flower Queen Blue my Nirvana Shop 'Blue Dream" mother. Lets see how she does! Ill add her daughters to the diary over time. EDIT: I mentioned I didnt cut the plant at all but thats actually not true I always top my plants at the 5-7th nod. Thats it though.

Flowering week 2 the ladies are slowly forming tips and everything is going according to plan. Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle has slightly burnt tips from the fertilizer. I probably could have started fertilizing even later.

Added some photos and a video. Babies are growing happy... 😀

Another week and no signs of flower or pre flower, definitely not the quickest one. Plants keep looking really great, the topped one too but it is smaller than the others yet. Two of them have insane leaves, i think that i'm going to defoliate it later if it becomes neccesary i have moved the lamp to mantain it at 35cm, i don't have so many margin to move it upper. according to gb strains the hegight should be between 0,7 and 1.2, let's see

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads. On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops. On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀 On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops. On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

I’m getting behind, the feed is not accurate. But yeah small signs of potassium deficiency and possibly phosphorus deficiency? I think she just needs time to get established in her new pot of super soil. Will mostly just feed plain water.

Def def and defolation... it started flowering already with quick growing steps

Alright! So she's officially been back on track for quite a while now. She seems to have actually started bud development! So we can officially consider this week 1 of flower. Haven't defoliated her quite yet, but I will later today. So far I've just been training her by bending and supercropping here and there. I've been feeding her nutes twice a week by this point, with a water in between. Not quite at the 1/4gal. per day point. I sense that'll be somewhere between weeks 2, and 3 of flower. She's up to 9-fingered leaves which means, everything's going smooooth as can be. Cheers, and bless you and your garden! 🙌
