Started off well. I did have an issue during week 1. My light wasn't 18 inches as Mars Hydro indicated. I still had my lights height at 24inches. I notice that all thre girls were growing tall and leggy. After a lil investigating I replanted all three girl deeper into the same pots.

I know it is only two weeks but compared to other auto flower plants during this stage I'm starting to think that all three of my girls are stunted. I did have an issue during week 1. My light wasn't 18 inches as Mars Hydro indicated. I still had my lights height at 24inches.

I still believe that Banana Kush #2 and Zkittlez are stunted, I wanted to remove those two but i think i will just let them grow out for the experience. I'm really banking on Banana Kush #1 to bring home the bacon.

I'm so surprise on how all my three girls are growing compared to last week 12/24. Fourth week, I increased the PPFD to 500. Banana Kush #1 - Topped and defoliated on 2/29 @ 4 weeks. This is her second week of feeding. Only watered once a week with feeding. Banana Kush #2 - Topped only. Nothing else is needed at the moment. This is her second week of feeding. Only watered once a week with feeding. Zkittlez #1 - FIM only. Nothing else is need at the moment. Notice in the picture #3 how she is growing two additional buds. Thanks to FIM. This is her second week of feeding. Only watered once a week with feeding. My plan was to top all three plants but I accidentally didn't cut off enough on Zkittlez #1 The end results is amazing. I already knew about the "FIMing" I'm just realizing that the meaning is "Fuck I Missed" Final Thoughts: I noticed how quick my auto's responsed to FIMing, so next time I will FIM all of my auto's. Growing these gals has really been a fun learning experience. It almost feels like taken care of children. You got to water them, feed them, make sure the temperature and humdity is comfortable and putting them to sleep for six hours. lmho! Let's see what the future weeks bring.

I used 1 gallon for the three large girls. I notice that there wasn't any run off from the bottom ( I'm just being caution not to over water them) I have been defoliating them a couple of times this week. ( I'm not going to defoliate them no time soon, I may be over doing it, I read) I sing to them they favorite song "Pretty Girls, Pretty Girls" everyday before they go to sleep and when they awaken and in between checking up on them. 😂 Don't Laugh I was super super happy after noticing how well all three girls responded to the LST. I think I was a little late with training but it's coming along well thus far.

1. I stop defoilating week 5 2. Their water intake has increased. 3. Zkittlez #2 double top branch portially snap when trying to extend LST. I mend it with soft ties, luckily she doing well. I don't know if this will be a set back in her growth, we'll see. 4. Next feed I will increase the three flowering plants with heavy bloom fertilizer that will arrive today.

All girlz are doing well. I'm not sure how many more weeks until ready to harvest. I get different information from different websites. Run off water is 5.9 on three plants and one was 5.7 Now that the plants are larger I noticed that I mislabled two of the when I first planted them.

All girlz are growing super fast and healthly. I'm so confused now on who's who. I know all four plants look alike divivded into two. I think the two very light green plants is Banana Kush and the other two is Zkittlez. I am so done on raising four plants in this tent, all future grows will be limited to three.

Sadly Zkittlez #2 will no longer be with us. I had to make an executive decision to remove her. I really wasn't sure what was going on. I noticed that her stem were extremely soft and really sticky with a strong chemical like smell. Being that her stem were extremely soft, I could see how any buds would be able to grow. Since the other three girls were in late bloom and doing extremely well I didn't want to jeopardize their progress in late bloom. She was only a week younger than her sisters. R.I.P. Zkittlez #2

All girlz are about to finish up on time and are doing well. I hoping that they all don't finish at once because I only have a 2x2 drying tent. I gave them their last feed this week. They are still drinking up water every three days. I increased the PPFD, but I read that it's not going to increase the size of the buds or harvest time. Just wanna make sure the buds at the bottom get more exposure to light.

Soo far I flushed twice. Run off water ppm is 290-319-328 I noticed on all three girlz, the trichomes are milky/cloudy with very little amber on the leaves. I'm waiting for more amber. Hopefully by tuesday when the soil id totally dry more amber will a appear. I purchased another 3x3 tent because I know for sure my 2x2 tent will not be enough holding room. Funny thing, I trimmed the baby buds at the bottom that wasn't going to grow much. I placed it on the side in the tent for two days and decided to roll them up and smoke it. Surprisingly, I did get a high but the tatse was a little strong.

Wow, who the hell knew a person would get soo emotional over a plant being chopped down! Man, I was going through it! Lol! I totally forgot to weight it right after the chop. May Bad! I was debating on wheather or not to Top or Fim to see if I would save some weeks, but it seem like people's plant that don't get Topped, also takes 12 to 14 weeks. So, I'ma stick with FIM'ing! It's still considered "LST" This has really been a great experience into the cannabis world. Now, this is a hobby i truly enjoy doing! Learning all of the natural arrangements in caring for cannabis, in addition, to quick easy fix arrangements to increase yield. I can't wait to start my next "Girl Band Trio" Lol! I won't say who they are, but i'll give you a hint: First letter of each name is #1. L / #2. B / #3. C Banana Kush #1 dry weight is 3.58 oz
