Banana wank series #2 - Runtz Muffin (probably Gelato 33 pheno, pepper smell, creamy taste) x Tropicana Banana (most likely tropicana cookies leaning pheno)
All good this week. Now its in Ambient R80S, later moves to the target grow box, I don't understand how to indicate here this fact that it will migrate
Still feeding water + cannazym, planning to add nutrients next week. The leaf pattern reminds me of the mother plant a lot, excited to see what it turns out
Nutrients parts proportions are rough, I used the solution from the bigger reservoir and diluted it with water a bit. All good! Thrips seem to affect only the lower leaves, praying hands for the whole week.
She's one of the biggest of all the crosses I have now and is the most intriguing to me, so she went into the flowering tent this week. LST Experiments, again. I don't expect a lot from myself, so behold and the ugly creature will emerge from this plant :-D
No pistils yet, she's getting used to the new environment, I guess. Also, I'm not bending her to the ground now since it doesn't boost lower branches, I released the wire a bit, but still LST-ing
Stigmas are here, next week is flowering for sure. Still bending her down and exposing lateral branches as much as possible. All seem good. I'm waiting for the stretch
I was bending and breaking branches for the whole week trying to spread them wide. Now she looks like her ribcage is open wide. I'll take full-plant pictures later. Till this moment she mostly looks like her mother
EC went out of control at some point as you may see by burnt tips, trying to avoid it in the future :-P I'm giving them far less food than before
All seem good. Broke some branches for the last time this week, no violence anymore, I think. The good news! Whiteflies are all gone because of Encarsia Formosa - black eggs on the last picture are infested whiteflies eggs, and fungus gnats all eaten by the spiders :-D
I basically grow in a swamp with this drip turned on all the time, and now it looks like my coco swamp system is getting stabilized :-D
Seeds in many places :-D Lesson learned (again) - I need to pull the boys out of the box a bit earlier.
This time it probably would be RMxTBxWillie Lebanese CBD. I'm eager to see where the genetics will drift, but I certainly don't have enough space to plant all the seeds I'm getting :-D
The fan looks a bit dirty, isn't it? XD
She suffers PH swings and heat as the neighbors, and I'm simply waiting for her to finish. Purple hues have appeared, the smell is quite interesting, not exactly resembling any of the parents. Probably too early to judge though
More purple!
And some kind of deficiency/nutrient lock - PH swings were insane this week, I'm thinking of cleaning the system, feels like there's some buildup there. Apart from this, the plan is to cut her in two weeks. Probably will start flushing next week
Cut on day 6 of flushing since the colors seem pretty ok already. Even with a decent microscope I'm bad at checking trichomes, so fuck it, the plant has been at 12/12 for 10+ weeks, so I suppose I've waited long enough :)
Crossing something is an amazing experience, much recommended to anyone who loves weed.
Three lessons:
0) Pull the boys out early!
1) Record and take pictures of which branches and when you pollinate
2) Don't keep different strains males at one time to at least understand which pollen was used :-D
Looking forward to seeing how this one develops👊 The mother looked absolute fire🔥 crossing that with the thc heavy runtz is a exciting cross for sure brother
@@Trumptight420, thanks again, and all the best to you too!
I've watched one of the videos with Kyle and heard the story, yep. I bet I have all the chances to become that mediocre basement grower from that story 😝 I'll save my work for a real cannabis star so he/she could make seeds and tell the stories about it on youtube. Yeey! 😆
But jokes and cynism aside imagine how many gems weren't ever discovered, so yeah, I get what you mean 😬
@bobtheblob, That is the best part...Beautiful accidents can happen...Have you heard the story about Kyle Kushman and Strawberry Cough? Grow strong and have fun learning...hopefully I can pick up a thing or few 🙏 Happy growing friend and keep up with it don't get discouraged💪
@Esoteric_growing, it's the third week on 12/12, but there were no pistils till the end of the previous week, I'm marking flowering when the pistils start to appear (outdoor style? saw that in one diary here also), so I'm not really sure if the flowering time cut down or not. I guess should I check trichomes on this one more thoroughly
Have you thought about adding some cal mag? Looks like the plant could do with it, start maybe at 0.5ml per L and maximum of 1ml if improvements are not seen.
I have found most strains need this when using coco.
@Esoteric_growing, I didn't buy it yet, but I've noticed the deficiency, yep :-P. She's already in the flowering tent under the drip atm, can't wait to see the buds :-D
@Esoteric_growing, yep a male of supposed-to-be CBD strain. And now a male of a cross of Runtz Muffin and Very Cherry :-D Should've pulled it earlier - you theoretically can grow both males and females in one place but you need to spot formed flowers and pull it out before it starts opening pollen sacks. Also reversed females don't spray pollen as males do, and reversing is even more 'safe' in that concern, but I in general don't care if the bud is seeded since its for personal consumption
