5 seeds out of 6 Feminized Banana Punch seeds germinated with strong taproots. One specific seed spawned a teeny tiny plant compared to the other 4, but we'll see how it does. Overall happy enough with the germination turn there. 2 out of 2 Lemon Cheese seeds germinated. 2 Very different looking sizing in the two early plants suggesting strong different phenotypes so excited to see how those do. 13 out of 20 selected Formula One seeds germinated strongly. Great looking taproots on them all.
All the seedlings are just getting into vegetative stage. The F1, BP, and Lemon Cheese is all sizing up at least around a few inches. One Banana Punch roots looked a tad lighter than the others so ill be keeping a eye on that one. Vigorous regardless seeming. Once they all get a bit larger I'll be adding fish meal too for some fertilizer to give that early veg a little boost of Nitrogen and whatnot. Super stoked to see how strongly the Banana Punch does. update in the next week to 2 weeks.
It's now a day into week 3 of vegetation and across the board all plants gave at least gained a few inches or so. Tallest examples around 1ft. There is two select F1 plants that are especially vigorous in their growth it seems. One Banana Punch is a absolute giant with other BP's following in close suit. The two Lemon Cheese are doing well. The larger/ thicker one of the two I'm keeping a close eye on. Excited to see how it does. Minor sundamage on a few f1 examples on the lowest/ main feeder leaves. Figured in part due to those leaves having an entirely different grow light form/medium vs the new growths and beyond with natural light. Haven't added any growth mediums yet, but I'm meaning to and it's still early enough to add some kelp and Fishmeal mixture. Aphid alert!!. Very light number, but now their starting to show up so I'm looking into best organic ways to help fight them. Any ideas I'm game!. Light watering here and there, checking the soil when needed. The weather has been improving overall. Looking forward to more growth. Will update in a couple more weeks or so. Btw, all the plants with pop markers are BP and Lemon Cheese. Everything else is Formula One. Peace!
It's now a day into week 5 of Vegging. All the plants across the board have grown significantly in the 2 week span. There is a definite variety of some F1's being a more shorter and more shrub like and select ones that are growing taller and stretching moreso out with the feeder leaves and lower node branches and whatnot. Intresting to really see those two different phenotypes showing during this vegging. All the Banana punch plants are growing extremely well across the board. Really good looking genetics especially in terms of earlier growth. Turns out, the two select Lemon Cheese plants are looking to be autoflower seeds folks. Again, only a day into week 5 and both plants are developing preflower sites with pistils galore all over the two plants. I've included a example picture from today's date from the tippy top node of the slightly shorter and much more developed LC of the two. Let me know what y'all think. I just got my fish emulsion in the mail today so I'll be able to start up a feeding schedule with the first feeding later today mixed with the liquid kelp. Suggestions for a balanced feeding schedule?. Seems that I have one select F1 that looks super drained. Any ideas?, picture included. I think it just might be something with the roots possibly. Finished up watering earlier. Final bit few of the tallest plants are with the heights F1(22in), LC(20in), and the second LC(24in). Getting spinosad soon here to help with the aphids and whatnot. Will update in the next couple weeks. Cheers and good faith and growing vibes to you all🙏
Well we are now at day 2 of week 7 of veg for these plants. All the plants have gained some considerable height, around a foot or so. The small F1 that was looking all droopy and it ended up not making it:/, oh well on that front. The fertilizer seemed to help the plants a good amount, did some research, but just did the lowest teaspoon to gallon ratio and rolled with that. Mixed in the kelp too. Got 2 new additions from a fellow grower!, one being a cut of a mighty Royal Kush plant and the other being a really unusual and high potency genetic cut called something to the effect of "Chimera". The Royal is the slightly larger of the two. In terms of sexes of the all the F1's, it's looking that 3 select plants are starting to show very early sign of wisp female hairs showing at certain nodes. All the Banana punch plants are killing it in terms of growth and are chugging along. One BP is a very tall/stretched out plant that looks way different in that regard of her shorter/shrubbier sisters. The Two Auto Lemon Cheese plants and well into flower and will be ready for harvest in the next couple weeks or so. I'm adding a large amount of grass mulch across the garden ground area soon to help keep the moisture retention up in that soil area and some protection for the microbes in the soil. In the next week or so ill be getting some mesh trellis netting to help secure the plants against the wind that we can get in the area. Update on that in the future. In terms of height the tallest F1's are right at 3ft and the tallest BP being 34inches and tallest Lemon Cheese being at 34inches, both a couple shy of 3ft. Will update again in a couple weeks here. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens!
Howdy again all, we're now day 1 of week 9 of veg for these plants. Immediate first thought is hot damn!, spectacular pacing these past couple weeks in terms of height growth and stalk rigidity for all the plants. Mother nature has really opened up now for the area and these girls are loving it. The two autoflower LC plants are going full speed trying to bulk up its flower areas, I was thinking I was going to be harvesting very soon or already at this point, but no, these plants have another couple weeks at least before they are ready, I'm not complaining. Don't stop the train until it's done right? Anyways, the trellis mesh will be coming in the late week so I'll be able to set that up sometime soon to help steady the plants across the board. Mulching has done wonders in helping with moisture retention in this heat. I've also set up bamboo markers for the 5 Banana punch plants to help differentiate them from everything else. The very corner F1 plant that was damaged a while back, I have turned it into a experimental plant and chopped way down the stalk and its putting a suprising amount of energy towards further growth on the existing branches. We'll see how it does down the line. Tallest F1 is at 53 inches and tallest Banana punch at 51inches. Side note, I squeezed in a lavender companion plant in the plot, not that the huge foliage wall isn't helping enough as is haha. Will update in the next couple weeks. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens!
Howdy again all!. Its now day 1 of week 11 of veg for the girls. Huge progress in general growth for all the plants. Select plants are already nearing my own height of 5ft8in on the dot. Minor loss in terms of a random lower limb on a rear F1 that somehow got twisted off at the base, nothing else on that note exactly. Corner/Experimental F1 that was chopped way down is looking to be one of the F1's with the largest flower sites by far. The lack of upper branching is forcing the plant to direct the rest of that energy to what's still there in terms of remaining branches so it's doing great in growth. Pulled all the select plants that were the males or males to be, so that in itself opened up space for other plants to grow less crowded in ways. The two Auto's still have another week and a half to go before they are finished, both progressing phenomenally. The trellis netting is going up this week for the plot area. In terms of the tallest plants, tallest F1 is at 61inches and tallest BP is at 63inches. Will update in the next couple weeks. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens!
Well howdy again yall. We're now day 1 of week 13 of veg and all I can say is plants have been doing phenomenal in terms of growth these past weeks in terms of growth. Big changes in that I did end up pulling that Tall banana punch because it was a male sadly, but I ripped the bastard out of the ground as soon as I figured it out and went and sacrificed it to the gods real fast. Due to the lack of reach that the netting would really benefit on the bulk of the plants, I trashed that option. Looks like it'll just be basic bamboo supports and whatnot, so we'll see. Would have been beneficial to use the mesh had I had it in earlier weeks of veg. Chopped and harvested the tall Lemon Cheese first, its in its first day of curing. Got a couple quarter gallons of flower. Looking and smelling great already so gonna cure for a couple weeks roughly then it'll be up for smoke. The Shorter lemon cheese is just chopped and about to be set in a area to begin drying for a week. In terms of height the tallest plants, this case 80% of them, are getting right on that 72inch/6ft threshold, so they are full speed with growth. Did some recent major defoliation and cleaned up the plants more.Will update in the next couple weeks. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens!
Howdy again yall, it's now day 3 of week 15 of veg. As you can tell defloliating roughly %50 large and very large fan leaves of all the plants. We're getting close to the flower time and already two select F1 plants have very early flower signs already. Defoliation in part to assist/direct plant growth/focus towards those uppermost echelons on all the plants upper limb sections. I was recommended by a fellow trusted farmer down the road to defoliate heavy on these plants to assist the flowering development. He's the grower I received the F1 from so I took his advice to heart. Many/all lower sucker branches have been removed from all the plants. Really trying to focus up that growth now we're so close to flower. Plants in terms of veg height are surpassing 75inches. Will update in the next couple weeks. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens 🙏.
Howdy again y'all. Been a hot minute since the last update, but we're back!, and at Week 3/Day 2 of flower. The Formula One Plants are all full speed ahead in terms of flower and are putting on nice weight. The 3 clear different phenotypes of the Formula one are showing some interesting differences in terms of the flower structure and whatnot. Ended up using the mesh netting to essentially wrap around the plants to give the overall vegatative mass more vigor against the wind. The Banana punch plants are a few weeks behind in terms of flowering progress, so those plants will be the late harvesters. The lemon/fuel smell is starting to become prominent on the f1 plants. In terms of height, the tallest plants are around 80 inches, getting to around 7 ft. Will update in the next couple weeks or so. Peace and good growth to all yah gardens!.
Gl dude, just wanna warn you so long. Unless those are very small strains, that spacing is nowhere near enough.
Like even in winter I have to give plants around 2m space between them (unless using restrictions, or pots).
Btw, I'd recommend you use some kelp if you can (while they're young). It can boost growth and resistance a fair bit, good shit for the soil activity too.
@TokeGoat,
Well hey, if it works for you, super.
But I gotta leave like 3-4m space between plants (for spring-summer-autumn), unless they're small stubby indica things, they grow massive (with zero hst, lst, scrogging, topping, fimming, too). Might just be conditions here causing them to go a bit wider, that sort of thing, coz we do get some fucked up weather at times.
@sir_isO, I understand the spacing concern, but the spacing, (roughly 3 feet/1m), I've used before with enough success with a bit fewer plant numbers. The sunlight with x minor defoliage and whatnot is able to cover the plants well enough. I typically cut out at least a few plants from the number I have from the start/early. Yes I'll use that with some fish meal soon here.
Vos plantes ont l'air en très bonne santé. L'air frais et le soleil naturel les feront prospérer. Meilleurs voeux pour le reste de votre récolte et profitez des récompenses de la récolte et faites attention à ces éxtraterrestres embêtants. 😎👌
