What up Fam, weekly updates on these lovely ladies. This week it's been warm and such a bad time for my AC to go out but overall temps been in the mid it's inside the tent and the plants seem to not mind at all. They're still getting fed 16oz daily. I'd say from the looks, maybe 2-3 more weeks until harvest. Happy Growing

Flower Day 61 — Tropical Ice Cream 🍦🌴 27.08. — Flower Day 61, and this run is getting seriously exciting. Looking back at the first weeks of flower, it’s honestly crazy to see how much these plants have transformed. What started with fresh white pistils and small flower sites has turned into a tent full of chunky, beautifully stacked colas, and they’re still putting on weight. The structure, the density and especially the amount of resin on these flowers are really starting to show what Tropical Ice Cream is capable of. And then there’s the smell… holy shit. The name really wasn’t chosen randomly. The tropical sweetness has been getting stronger week after week, but now that creamy, almost dessert-like character has really kicked in. Every time I open the tent, I get hit with this unmistakable combination of tropical fruit and sweet, creamy ice cream. It genuinely smells like the name suggests — Tropical Ice Cream. 🍦🌴 What has impressed me just as much throughout this run is the resilience of these plants. I’ve had some minor Powdery Mildew pressure in the environment, but these girls have been remarkably unfazed by it. While I still keep a close eye on the overall room, the Tropical Ice Cream plants have simply continued growing, stacking and frosting up without missing a beat. That kind of resilience is something I really value in a cultivar. Now, at Day 61, we’re entering that final stretch where every visit to the tent feels a little more rewarding. The flowers are getting heavier, the colours are changing, the resin is absolutely everywhere and the whole plant is slowly transitioning from “still growing” to “almost ready to become something ridiculous.” I’m not rushing anything. At this stage, it’s all about letting the plants finish on their own terms and watching those final weeks unfold. And honestly, this is the part of the grow where you start realizing just how good the journey has been. Tropical Ice Cream — Flower Day 61. The finish line is getting closer, and this one is looking like it’s going to be one hell of a finale. 🍦🌴🔥

I started flushing (RO water) a little earlier than I wanted. My concern is around the limbs/branches holding up during too many more water changes. The plant yoyos work fine, but I have to remove them to change the water, then they fall over (some hard) with the branch close to snapping.

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!

I think this species is beautiful! a light green and very symmetrical and strong leaves. it develops very well without pruning techniques. branches naturally and creates several big buds! go lemon 🍋

Harvest Day🏻 sweet smell, like some fresh cherries. Smells and looks great

********** Week 2 of flower, Days 8 to 14 - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 *********** It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started plus we added new supplemental nutrients to the feed as well. These girls are starting to push out some frost now as well. Overall, they are a little more squat than the other girls in the same tent but these girls are looking awesome. Buds are setting and starting to stack more as well😃 Pretty solid growth and bud sites for week 2 flower. Her leaf tips have been up and she is happy........she is happy all the time other than the first half hour of waking up😃👍 Very nice little girls to grow so far. The branching is certainly a little more lateral/horizontal than other strains I have grown. Could be that I was a little more aggressive with topping and tying down and they simply didn’t need it. She is not a long lanky strain and is making nice little bush shapes. She won’t have many colas but should be thick guys. C471 should be fewer and thicker while C472 will have a couple more colas but likely the main ones won’t be as thick as C471.......time will tell🧐 On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Cream 471 was worse off the Gorilla Girl 4 with her cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though now and when she was tied together and looked after she is bouncing back, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well though and will keep our fingers crossed that the end result will be a frostier girl👊🤞 Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement. 2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road. IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites. Little more detail........ Sept 26/20, Day 8 - Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days - 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml - 830ppm and 5.7pH - will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks Sept 27/20, Day 9 - 2nd SCROG layer added. Sept 28/20, Day 10 - more microbes today - 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml - 290ppm and 6.3pH - pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well. - Good amount of runoff today. Sept 30/20, Day 12 - Heavier feeding today - 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml. - repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......was not sure how this girl will work out. Crack is fairly substantial. - Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound. - Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top. Oct 1/20, Day 13 - Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking. - 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml - 665ppm and 5.9pH - IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls. That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be done by the end of week 9, about 7 more weeks. Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Nice strain Sweet Seeds.......these girls have my curiosity and can’t wait for the smells to start more as well!!!!👍🙏

Plant is doing fine, just a few issues with pests so I had to remove infected leafs but no big deal. Plant is 90 cm high and stopped growing, I think anonther 2 or 3 weeks to harvest. Had to support is with a bamboo stick because the top is getting heavy and its quite windy at night on my balcony. I posted some random pictures and videos from the last few weeks, hope you like them.

They grow fast at this Age . Transferred them to 3gal pots this week I miss how the grow room used to be so clean lol before the huge hose was installed :p

Pretty much a good week she was transplanted to a 3 gallon fabric pot.

7/19 everything's looking good. It's a start to a new week. These babys are gonna be huge when they flower. So far 16 weeks of vegging, that's 4 months🤘💚 7/22 watered and took pics

Día 69, 21 de flor. Foto 1 pre-peluquero Foto 2 y 3 post-peluquero Vídeo #MerryBerry Así va la cosa chavalitris! Se llevan el último arreglo ya en flor, a ver si las engañamos y engordan más de la cuenta Toca riego en todas menos Gorila, que va unos días más lenta, y aún no tiene esa sed. Favoritas de momento: La #MerryBerry 3 huele muy muy diferente. No la he acabado y creo que ya quiero repetirla 😅 Cultivo fácil, estructura, mucha resina. También top la #BlueberryMuffins 1 apuntando buena estructura, producción y resina! La #weddingcake 2 y 3 mejoraron tras la apical y en Stretch juntaron nudo, 2 con con más resina. La #ChocolateMintOg 1 solo es porra principal, pero parece tirar bien de resina. La #Gorilla está por ver, pero también tiene un olor peculiar desde hace semanas.

And cream 2 is about 30 inches and buding up fat been good week cheese 1 about ready in week or two others shortly behind.

Day 43 12/08/24 Monday Feed today, it was warm again so they drank the whole 300ml each so I have topped up another 150ml to see run off to prevent salt build up. All thriving 😍✌️💚 ACOP and Melonade Runtz structure is stunning 💪 Divines Overdose is getting chunky and showing nice stack potential 👌 Leaving these to just run there natural course, will allow me to best pick my next SOG run with micro autos indoor 😎 Video update Day 45 14/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 48 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Orange bud is tall!! Top her next time. Critical orange is lovely and compact. Overdose is nice and compact, Melonade Runtz nice compact structure also. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚
