24 hours in the paper towel and these beans popped. Transferred into indoor potting soil and peat seedling containers. 48 hours later they're doing great in the SunBlaster LED Dome.

Nothing much to report this week. Kept on eye on the SunBlaster dome and watered accordingly. Babies are coming along great so far, no complaints.

Plants were sprouting roots through their peat seedling containers. I transplanted them into .25 litre pots mixed in with some diatomaceous earth to prevent any pests in the future. Seedlings have doubled in size since last week. Still in the SunBlaster dome under 24 hours light. Will keep an eye on them for the next week and water accordingly.

Easy week here. After transplanting last week I've left them alone to grow in the SunBlaster dome. They are at least three if not four times bigger than they were last week. Added shots of water when needed, but other than that I haven't done anything to them. Will move into the veg tent in the next week or two.

Tough week! Transplanted the seedlings from the SunBlaster dome to the veg tent and , wow, was there problems! The seedlings went through a dramatic climate change. My tent was unprepared at the time and they sat at room temperature for about 15 minutes and completely became limp! I thought they had died, but they came back after a few hours. Some serious leaf shriveling happened, and I pulled off the most affected. They seem to be ok now. Hopefully, they won't be stunted too much. I fed them with three part DynaGrow nutrients and Sensi-Cal today. Here's hoping for a robust recovery!

Try keeping the humidity around 60% and the temperature around 75°F. Environment is important for seedlings and clones.

A much better week this week. My plants have recovered greatly since their traumatic transplant last week. A few burned leaves still, but nothing to worry about. Have grown a few inches taller this week too. I topped them all and they are all sprouting nicely from the pinched spot. Watered about 1l each with regular tap water and 1.5ml Sensi-Cal. No feeding this week. Will probably do it next time they need watering. Happy so far! Here's hoping for the best!

I opened my tent yesterday morning and the Banana Hammock is hurting! Any thoughts about what may be wrong? Week 6 since sprouting. 2x2 tent. 1000w LED at 50% power. Fed 3 part nutes and Cal-mag early last week. Watered with tap water accordingly. Thanks all!

Need more information in your dairy like tent temps and medium temps and feeding EC/PPM. I don't see much indication of over/under watering in your updates, its good you switched them from 24/0 to 18/6 plants do need sleep. I would guess this is from heat stress and lack of air movement. If you are using the Sunblaster LED strips that are just white light, the plants can get crazy close with no ill effects. I did a OG Kush grow and they got right up to the bars "90w in total 5x18w 18" strip bars" and were fine. I also like how the plants grew under them. For my main set of lights I combined the Craft Cannabis Sun Blaster LEDs and their 6400k white ones. I did get some burn under 12" as Craft Cannabis LED line is much stronger but still a nice set of lights, the company does not have much information on any of them in terms of efficiency or par maps but they are a average for the whites and pretty nice for the Craft line. Still not super high end growing lights like some brands but they work well! Good Luck!

Wow! What a tough week. Earlier this week I opened my tent up in the morning and my plants were hurting. Tacoed leaves and edge discoloration. I believe heat and humidity got way too high. A few days later and they seem to be doing better. Burnt edges, but it's still growing. I'm not happy with them right now, but I'm hoping for a vast improvement. Didn't feed this week because of the tacoed leaves but watered with some cal-mag. Here's hoping for a robust recovery!

Pretty good week. The plants are recovering nicely and are coming along. I topped them all for the second time as they are starting to grow from the pinched area. Watered a few times this week and added cal-mag and 3 part feed. Will continue to veg for a few more weeks before I flip to flower.

Great week! Plants have made an exquisite recovery from the first weeks that they were stunted. Topped for a third time and new growth already at the pinch site. I am gonna veg for a another week, maybe two, then into the flower tent they will go. Gave some cal-mag and watered accordingly, about a litre and a half per plant. Happy growing all!

Plants are doing great this week! Growing nice and steady. I moved them into the flower tent today and positioned them under the SCROG netting. Will stay in veg for another week or two to let it fill out the tent, then will flip to flower. Cal-mag with water, no feed this week. Here's hoping for a continued great grow!

Great week! Plants have been under the SCROG for about a week now and have greatly filled out. I added some three step DynaGrow, Great White mycorrhizae, and Cal-mag. Watered about 2 liters per plant through the week. Will continue to water accordingly this week without feeding. I am very happy with these plants as of now. Will flip to flower soon.....

Ladies, and I can officially say ladies, are coming along great. Week two of flower and white pistils are showing. Yay! Switched from cal-mag to Bud Candy and Big Bud and I added some mycorrhizae as well. The stretch is really going on these girls and I am looking forward to watching them bloom. Here's to a happy grow!

Good week thus far. Nearing the end of week 3 of flower and the stretch is on. Buds are starting to sprout all over the place and pistils are forming. Cleared away the larfy crap on the bottom and am gonna defoliate in the next week. Loving these plants so far and am looking forward to great bud!

Nice week this week. The stretch is definitely over and they're starting to bulk up. They look like the bus sites are going to connect together. I'm hoping for some monsters! Here's to a happy grow!

Can't wait for these ladies to be finished! The smell is absolutely fantastic. Gas! Another week or so and I'll chop. Been flushing with plain water and will let them dry out before I chop. Almost there!

Finally! Chop day! These ladies are finally where I want them to be. Today I harvest these ladies and let them hang dry in the tent for a week or so. Had a great grow with Banana Hammock and will surely attempt it again as well as ETHOS Genetics other strains. I will check back in a week with the final weigh in once dried and trimmed. Here's hoping for some fire!

I was expecting a little more from these plants, but what came off is high quality flower. So, I guess I can't really complain. Overall great smell, taste, and high. Would definitely grow these again, maybe in bigger pots next time, or even outdoors. Medium difficulty grow. Had some withering leave issues early on, and I just didn't see them bulk up like I wanted them to. But I am pretty happy with this harvest!
