DonCostro I've decided to grow this strain after my Fat Banana seed failed to germinate. This one seems pretty vigorous and came out in about 3 days, after soaking in water for almost a day and then putting directly in soil.

DonCostro Topping went well I think, took her few days to recover, but she took off nicely by the end of week.
Next week will probably give more options for LST, for now I'm just tucking the leaves to expose lower branches.
I should prolly also start introducing some nutes, so far been only giving trace amounts and vitamins from Acti-Vera, and Cal-Mag, because I got soft water.
Also my grow room humidifier broke, not sure if I even need it, but at least it's less hassle without it, hope it doesn't get too dry tho.
That's all to report this week, thanks for checking in.π

DonCostro Heat is becoming pretty bad, with temps peaking at way over 30 C, coming weeks won't be much better either, but she's taking it like a soldier, as long as she gets water every other day.
I've been very careful with nutes but still it looks like she's a little overfed maybe (dark leaves and starting to see yellow tips)

DonCostro We've got worst heat wave behind us, with temps rarely dropping below 30 C, she somehow pulls it through, but it will surely take its toll, all I can do is go along with it and do the best I can to keep her alive.
Lots of leaves are yellowing and wilting, and the buds are starting to shape and cover with frost.

Grow Questions
DonCostrostarted grow question 4y ago
Does this look like underwatering, heat stress, or any kind of defficiency? Also might be rootbound, cause I used not a lot of soil which also makes water evaporate faster.
I water 0,8L/2 days pH=6.3=runoff, If its hot some leaves start to droop in less than 48h after watering.

Bro, I saw your diary and you use Biobizz, me too haha! xD
Your girls are beautiful. Nothing to worry about too much. Great job!!!
I think it's because you're using 3ml/L of Bio-grow in the fourth week of flowering; normally, nitrogen consumption decreases as flowering progresses.
If you measure the ppm of the runoff water, we will probably find high values, and the babies don't like soil with too much mineral load. Sometimes when that happens, a blockage occurs, leading to a deficiency of some nutrient.
I recommend starting to lower the dose of Bio-grow; that will improve the soil's ppm. Measure the ppm of runoff and irrigation water.
I saw burnt leaf tips and partially curled leaf tips.
Good smokes! πͺ

DonCostro I finally decided to get TDS meter and turns out I was overfeeding quite a bit. Gonna feed very weak solution from now on, at least until EC drops, she's prolly 2-3 weeks till harvest anyway.
I think she's developing a bit of foxtailing (the "good" one), and there's another heat wave incoming, so hoping it doesn't get bad.
All things considered, girl looks pretty good, the yellowing and falling of the leaves have mostly stopped, and the buds are already fat, smelly and sticky as hell,.

DonCostro Almost there, most trichomes became cloudy or milky and noticing new amber ones every day.
She also absorbs less water now and most of the leaves are sucked dry.
Should be done by the end of the week I presume.

Very forgiving strain, takes high temps pretty well. Show her some love and she'll reward you with fat, resinous buds.

Mistakes were made, but the results are satisfying. This grow taught me a lot, so hopefully my next will be even better.
Thank you to everyone who ever gave me any advice, or good word π
