Hello Diary, White Widow has finished its second week of flowering. The areas around the flowers themselves are lighter, due to the young leaves and the pistils themselves on the flowers, so it is clearly visible where all the flowers are forming. I am happy with how the flowers are developing and I therefore have much more motivation to take photos. White Widow has started to stagnate in growth, this week she has grown 13 cm., the most compared to her roommates on the "Farm". I would say that at this stage White Widow is taking on her final form and will now direct most of her energy into the development of the flowers. The leaves are a healthy dark green color and so far I do not show any signs that the plant is lacking anything. Watering was every three days, I continued to add CalMg and Bio-Bloom Fertilizer. The conditions in the grow box are now much better. The temperature is around 28 degrees and the humidity is below 50%. White Widow is generally progressing great, which I am very happy about. Here is a short overview of the week. 24/08/2024 - Day 31. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water. I added CalMg 1 ml/liter, Bio-Bloom Fertiliser 1.5 ml/liter and then lowered the p.H. to 6.0. With this amount I watered all three plants evenly. 27/08/2024 - Day 34. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 28/08/2024 - Day 35. End of the second week of flowering, or the fifth week from the beginning of the vegetation. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. White Widow - Day 35. - 63 cm That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and overall looking good still but have a ton of bracts/calyx that are not throwing out pistils. They seem to slowly be coming out on some but looking like I鈥檝e got a ton of them without pistils and no buds actually forming, not sure if I鈥檓 explaining it right, all still fairly new to me. The only thing I can think to do is just let it ride for awhile longer and see what happens. Day 73 - Looks like a few more bracts/calyx鈥檚 are starting to open and show more pistils. Some have thrown out a single pistil and started to shrivel already. She鈥檚 got a lot of milky trichs but still think she鈥檚 got a good couple of weeks left, hopefully she鈥檒l fatten up quite a bit. Ended up giving her a gallon and a half of plain pH鈥檇 water today as well. Not sure why I didn鈥檛 research or why I didn鈥檛 think of it but she鈥檚 definitely foxtailing so hopefully cutting off one light will help slow it down a bit or something. She鈥檚 nice and frosty and stinky so not too worried about any ill effects from it but still not happy. I鈥檓 sure a combination of lights, a little heat and a screw up somewhere on my part stressed her out too much. Oh well, every grow is different and is a learning experience. Day 74 - Still chugging along and even though she鈥檚 foxtailing, she鈥檚 starting to open up more and throw pistils. Other than that, not much else happening with her. Day 76 - She鈥檚 still chugging along and not much to really update today. I know she鈥檚 foxtailing quite a bit but just letting her go to try and get as fat as she can. Still a lot of clear trichs and bright white pistils so a bit of time still left. She鈥檒l need some water tomorrow for sure. Day 77 - The end of week 11 and I鈥檓 probably gonna give her another week then possibly chop. She is just about all milky and just don鈥檛 see her fattening up much more. I did give her one more round of nutes today but that鈥檒l be it until the end and just straight water from her on out. If I see some fattening up, then may let her go longer. I may possibly do a partial chop and then see what happens with the lower stuff.

So I left for a week and had a trusted friend take over watering duties. A few things of note: I was concerned over overheating the grow so I turned the power down to 75% and ran the light up another 6 inches. This had the unfortunate effect of less airflow and cooler temps so I got powdery mildew that I would be fighting for the remainder of the grow. That aside, the plants looked way more mature when I returned home, with nice trichome development and density.

With this grow coming to an end I'm very satisfied, I've just cut the last girl down and they are hanging to dry now. The girls showed good vigor through out the whole grow feeling pretty comfortable in the organic soil mix I've made at the start. Later in flower I started giving the whole Plagron line from time to time to give them that little bit extra power throughout their flower cycle. I've took the two most different (looking) phenos I got and try to make some nice pictures, but in week 15 you can find the photo session I did with the nicest pheno in my eyes.

She's looking really good so far and the smell she leaves on your hands after handling her, incredible! Her old fan leaves are dropping off and today is the last day I feed her nutes. It'll just be flushing from now on and checking in on the trichomes every once in a while.

This week I defoliated the Honey Melon Haze and the O.G. Kush. It's the first time I try this. The broken stem of the O.G. Kush seems to grow pretty well so far. Nice! Humidity goes from 50-55% during the day to 80% after the night without dehumidifier (too noisy during the night). I poor 2l of tap water during each watering for the 26l pots and 1l for the 10l pot. The two Mandarin Punch Auto grew a lot this week, the stretch has surely started! They are now even taller then the Honey Melon Haze and the O.G. Kush. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 50cm O.G. Kush : 44cm Mandarin Punch #1 : 54cm Mandarin Punch #2 : 52cm Tomorrow, I will switch to 12h of light to start the stretch of the two photoperiod plants.

Ok Growers! Check it out. Week one, you can tell it's a slow start due to the light that I have. Not much to say about this week, DONT WATER! unless you plant it's definitely asking for it.. try not to over water the firsts weeks. Again, they might be some Spanish in the videos 馃槄 let me know if something like this but in English would be good around here.

Hi all 馃榿 Welcome to my 馃崒馃挏馃憡 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey 馃挏馃挌馃挏馃挌 What a amazing week. Very little to work around those beauties. The smell is so delicious already. They smells like sweet berries. Buds are loaded with trichomes, very sticky and hard as rocks especially on Athena. Trichomes are mainly clear and some parts milky. Absolutely love power of LST and how it worked on this strain. If you won't look under net it's almost impossible to see which cola belongs to main stem. Week 11 Dec 25 - Dec 31 Dec 25-26 Joyful observation Dec 27 Selective defoliation and First watering for this week. Nutes adjusted, almost 8ltr between both. Runoffs PH on both at 6.2. I am finding this PH level for this strain as perfect. Girls are looking super healthy and drinking they mixture like crazy. Dec 28-30 All is going smoothly. I can see more and more weight each day. Dec 31 Secomd watering foe this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. It's the last day of this week and also end of 2023!! See you in the new year 馃嵕馃馃崁 Peace and love brothers and sisters 鉁岋笍馃挌 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

The orange sherbet is the smallest of the bunch, but she is doing well. She is younger than the others but not the size they were at her age. I switched the feed to maxibloom this week since the other plants are flowering. Everything is still running smooth. I noticed a couple of the plants start dropping in the evening so I cut the lights back to 18 hours to give them a break. She is starting to pop some pistols so hopefully she will be flowering before the end of next week. I couldn't be happier with the grow so far.
