Banana blaze and wedding glue

week 1 since planting germinated seeds complete. Both fully sprouted without a issue and have been doing their thing since. wedding glue is a tall girl and needed a little prop so i put a tooth pick there so help her stand up. She hasn't fallen over yet but i knew she needed a little support.

end of week 2 is here. This week i had some issues with my grow tent temp/RH when the temps reached 90F outside. No central air only wall a/c so the temps got hot in here and tent temps peaked 92F while humidity was bouncing between 42%-78%. After purchasing a window a/c to help tent and surrounding area i achieved a stable 73-75F/50-55% RH with humidifier 43-45% RH without humidifier.. I took my 4" duct tube i still had left, ziptied one end to the vent and ran the duct into the tent and down the back pole so air reached the bottom. (i have no duct vent on bottom only mesh screens.) I hope this works for when i get the heat wave july 1st. other than that they did pretty well in the fluctuations and made decent growth in this week. Wedding glue needed to be tied down at the base as she was falling over, her stem should thiccen up this week. This week banana blaze was cracked out and closed the 2" gap between the 2 to just .5 inches so i'm curious who will be taller; when lst comes i will try to keep the same gap distance they have or make them even for a fresh start. cheers

The end of week 3 update. --forgot to take pics 1 day-- Easy week with no issues. - heat wave made me leave the tent open for the 3 days which kept the temps/rh good but allowed bugs to come in. I had a yellow stick trap flower already but i hung up a nice size square to catch the rest. Found some spider mites on 7/3 and took care of them had no signs of mites the following morning. ---BANANA BLAZE--- - day 16 was topped : want to keep them as short as possible so i can get a feel of how tall for first indoor grow-- - day 19 i started training down bottom 4 to reach outward Banana blaze is moving right along at a lovely pace. she took nicely to the topping and has recovered from it. all in all very pleased with how she's turning out i didn;t lst main stalk as i want to see how tall is too tall for my tent so she is small test with no main training and topping. WEDDING GLUE - day 16 was topping: Same as banana blaze i wanted to keep her short but that was a mistake for her. - also on day 16 i leaned her over a little to strengthen stalk and she was quick to reach for the light was only leaned over for about 2 hr and leaned back the other way. - day 17 i started lst on main stalk to even out with banana blaze. Before lst she was 2.5" taller. Wedding glue is also moving along pretty well i would say. I do regret topping her though as she did not like it and failed to recover like the banana blaze. She decided to just stop with the 2 new sets of fan leaves and focus more on bottom colas coming out. hoping she blows up from the time spent trying to recover and failing too.

End of week 4 update. Not much to update here as this was a rather easy week. Both girls are basically on the same timeline which makes this rather simple. They started their transition to flowering and they smell amazing; banana blaze smells like a musky skunk and the wedding glue smells like gasoline skunk. I can tell these 2 will be rather stinky when flowering really comes. Since they are on the same timeline, i lst'd both tops for the last time to even out with their older sister who's mid flower but they started reaching up in a day so i left them rather not fuck it up. day 27 both were fed 4 tbs bulb tone and 2 tbs bio tone.

end of week 5 is here both girls are doing great and moving along nicely. I snip a fan leaf here and there every other day or whenever needed. -Banana blaze is alittle behind her twin with flowering but she is 3 inches taller. -wedding glue is already getting some frost on her and smells lovely, i almost can't wait to see what she does. i was going crazy with these mites i have on my grow bags. When my electronic magnify pen came in i went over to reddit and turns out they are stratiolaelaps scimitus, which explains why they never died when i sprayed them with captain jacks deadbug. cheers to not having mites.

end of week 6 is here. busy week for me so light update on pictures and grow but both girls have been doing fine. also busted out the dslr and still playing with settings and background boards for good pictures. -banana blaze is still alittle behind the wedding glue but is still moving along. -banana blaze also has a arm thats about 4 inches longer than the other side so i rotated to try to even out. -top dressed on saturday with 4 tbs bulb tone and 2 tbs bio tone since she is just begginning to really flower. -wedding glue has changed up her smell to now a candy like smell with some skunk tones. -she is frosting up nicely and i lst'd her arms down some to get a even canopy on her. -top dress on saturday with 5 tbs bulb tone and 1 tbs bio tone since she is late early flower.

end of week 7 update. Banana blaze - she's a long girl so im having alittle space problem with having 3 plants in a 2.3x2.3 but i lst her arms down more everyday to even out canopy. - some smaller arms got lst'd to main arms to give colas more space and fill out the middle section. - starting to put some frost on and im liking the yellow tone it has to it. Wedding glue - moving along really nicely and putting on alot of sticky frost. - smell gets stronger everyday and keeps getting sweeter. Nugs are starting to swell up nicely too. - snipped maybe a total of 4 leaves this week to give her twin some more space.

End of week 8 update. BOTH -- Picked up terpinator this week and started to use it. both get watered 1-2 times a week depending on the week and will contain terpinator in it from now on. May pick up some incredible hulk bloom booster but i have more research to do on it.-- Banana Blaze - starting to swell up and frost up too. I can tell she will be a long budder. - snipped off more leaves this week and see seems to be doing good with it. - Starting to give off her lovely smell and it smells exactly like ripe bananas which is a lovely sweet smell that takes you in. - This week was feeding time and she got 2 tbs bio-tone and 4 tbs bulb tone just like last week. Wedding Glue - Her buds are really starting to swell up and i know she has alot more to go. - alittle bit of branch adjusting to spread them out some more. - Some leaves are yellowing on me and don't really know exactly why since the Banana blaze is doing just fine. i'm assuming its N def since i lowered the bio tone amount for wedding glue than the banana. - Feeding week of 2.5 tbs bio-tone and 4 tbs bulb tone. i'm hoping the extra bio-tone will smooth it out and i will just do alittle extra bio tone for next week also.

End of week 9 update. Things aren't going so well with the girls at the moment unfortunately. It seems my in-experience with salt based liquid nutes like terpinator has caused a salt build up and a nutrient lock out on both girls but more so on the banana blaze. Due to this fact my yield is going to be rather small from both girls unless the banana blaze bounces back. Both plants came to a stand still with swelling and have just been staying alive it seems. Wedding glue is almost done as the trichomes on the buds are about 1% amber and the banana blaze seems to not have any amber so i'm hoping she can power through. I gave them both a good flush and will hold off on using terpinator until i feel comfortable enough in future grows since the plants started to show issues as soon as i started using it. You live and you learn so i can't complain about my yield and i do not blame terpinator for the issue; it was all due to my in-experience with liquid nutes and autoflowers. This week i gave both a heavy defoliation to see if i could reduce airy buds and hope the increase light will give it a little boost in drying the soil and help bounce back from flush. other than the above problem the girls are doing great and smell amazing. Smell is super strong with both plants and opening my tent is a smack in the face. Smell is strong enough that when i open the tent it can be smelled outside on my front patio.

Week 10 update and now it's just the banana blaze that is left. Not much to update on as i'm just leaving her alone for the last weeks. After the flush i did a top dress of 4tbs bulb tone and 3 tbs bio-tone to try to fix what i caused. She seemed to like the top dressing i did as she started to bulk right up again but my yield will be small since the buds kept maturing. The buds are almost done but she has decided to throw out new pistils all over so we shall see what she does.
