Germinated 4 seeds for outdoor, I'll be starting them indoors until mid/end of may.
Wet paper towel inside Ziploc bag over seedling heatmat
All seeds germinated in 24h, all are above ground in under 48h

I plan on experimenting with outdoor training and defoliation, as the area I live in gets humid towards the end of flower.
Transplanted to small cups of buffered coco with perlite. Feeding 10ml/day of half strength veg solution, should be roughly 300ppm.
They're really hitting the seedling phase hard, with all 4 pushing their 2nd set of true leaves.
Once my 2x2 frees up, they'll be transplanted into soil, and vegged for a few weeks before going outside
5/1
The seedlings are in the 2x2 now!
They're in 1gallon pots of Stonington blend.
I'm going to veg them 3-4 weeks in here, then plant them in-ground in 30ish gallon holes full of coast of maine
Plants are still chillin in 1gal containers, they're only getting pHd water for now
Stonington blend is supposed to be able to feed for most of the grow
I topped the plants on 5/8
Hey everyone,
So I missed a week, but transplanted all 4 girls last night.
The mystery seed actually seems to be the most vigorous, followed by the 2 kushes, with banana daddy being the slowest to veg so far.
5/19
I took the girls to their outdoor home today, they'll be spending a night in the garage, then they'll be going into a shady area for a few days to acclimate to outdoor conditions.
I didn't do any topping yet, but these babies are all getting their stems rolled and bent down.
5/31 just transplanted each into 2³ft of organic potting soil in holes in the ground, and added tomato cages for training.

The plants are developing nicely, the tomato cages are working well, and the fertilizer stopped the slight deficiency I saw in them.
Only a few more weeks before 12/12 sunlight kicks in!
Midweek update:
The deficiency seems resolved, the plants are growing steadily now
The mystery seed turned out to be an auto flower male, I saw pollen sacs forming, so I culled it.
I added some stakes this week for LST.
The mystery seed turned out to be a male auto flower, so I culled it last week.
The biggest plant so far is the OG Kush, followed by the rainbow kush, and the banana daddy is the smallest plant.
The rainbow kush seems to be growing pretty flat and evenly with minimal training, so I haven't staked it yet, we'll see if they're necessary in flower.
I picked off just a couple fan leaves from each plant to get more light to some of the newer lower branches, but nothing too extreme.
Happy growing!
Still cruising through veg, watering every few days, about 3gal each time. I'm continuing to topdress with Pennington veg and tomato organic dry.
I took a few cuts of the og kush, because of how well it's vegging. I may take one of the rainbow kush as well. I have 4 phenos of banana daddy in my indoor tent already, so I'll leave it be. It's starting to veg pretty well, but still not as well as the other 2.
Happy growing!
These plants are bushing out so wide!
I've been training the biggest branches down and out, but now I think I'll let them grow more vertical.
I took clones of the og kush and rainbow kush, they're both very fast to veg.
The days are starting to get shorter, I can't wait to see them start to flower out.
I'll be posting a midweek update.
Update: it's starting to get rainy, so I did a heavy defol and a top dressing.
Happy growing!
I did a full lollipop on the banana daddy and OG kush, the rainbow kush I went a lot easier on. I want to experiment with the yield/quality tradeoff this technique can provide.
Since they're different cultivars, it's not a perfect experiment, but with 2 plants heavily lollipopped and one only slightly defoliated, I think it will be enough to draw some conclusions.
Happy growing all!
I need to lollipop the rainbow kush this week, all 3 plants are getting massive, with tight internodal spacing.
The main stems are super thick, and I can't wait for flower to begin!
Looks like very early flower has started!
The banana daddy is definitely starting to show pistils, and the other plants are starting to stack many tight nodes very quickly!
I can't wait to see how these plants end up stretching.
No training work this week, at the end of week 3ish I'll be lollipopping again.
Thanks for checking out the grow.
Happy growing!
Still cruising along, this outdoor is going really really well. Ive just been feeding 1.5 cups of granular organic fertilizer every week or 2, and watering about daily.
These plants are getting massive, and I can't wait to see how they flower out!
Thanks for checking out my grow, and please consider checking out the other 2 I have going right now.
Happy growing!
All 3 plants have definitely started flowering, the banana daddy appears to be flowering the fastest, followed by OG kush, then rainbow kush, which has definitely become the bushiest plant.
I did some defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, because my summers are very humid and I want to avoid WPM
Happy growing!
This week, all 3 plants are still stretching, but pistils are popping up all over them now. Banana Daddy is clearly about a week ahead of the other 2 plants.
All 3 plants are looking g super happy and healthy, but we're starting to show a little K deficiency, so I top dressed each with about 1c. Dry organic fertilizer.
The different levels of defoliation are also starting to set these plants apart from each other, but I think the banana daddy is responding really well to the indoor style lollipopping that I did.
Happy growing!
Banana Daddy is really starting to show her trichomes, all the tops have a nice even dusting.
OG kush and rainbow kush are both a good week or so behind BD, but they're coming along nicely as well.
We had a few humid days last week, and I spotted a few leaves with a bit of WPM on them. I plucked them off and will be watching to make sure it doesn't spread.
All 3 plants are showing a bit of hunger, so I top dressed again, and will be adding some PK boost to their next watering.
I'm hoping to pull about 1lb from each plant.
Happy growing everyone!
Hey All! We're starting to see some real bud development now, pistils everywhere!
Terpenes are really starting to develop now, everything smells super sweet and fruity.
I've plucked a few small lower branches to divert more energy towards the tops of these plants, I want some big top nugs for glamor shots!
I did top dress with dry all-purpose this week.
Temps and humidity have been on my side this week, but next week is looking pretty brutal, Ill try to keep these girls from getting too thirsty, but there's not much I can do outdoors during a heatwave!
Happy growing everyone!
Sorry I didn't update last week!
This is their 8th week in flower now, I'm posting this on day 49 I believe
Anyway, all 3 girls are far along into flower now, and the buds are starting to smell amazing!
The rainbow kush keeps teasing purple colored leaves that I hope continue to darken for the fade
Banana Daddy is still a week ahead of the others, and will likely be getting fully chopped soon
I sampled a few branches already for fresh frozen bubble hash, and its turning out amazing!
I did notice some PM creeping in, because we've had a lot of rain so humidity was high, but I treated with peroxide and baking soda at 10ml/l and 1tsp/l.
That seems to have stopped those issues pretty effectively.
Happy growing everyone!
These girls are still going strong, I harvested the banana daddy and fresh froze for bubble hash/live rosin
We have a storm coming so I rigged a canopy and continued peroxide foliar spray to prevent mildew and rot as best I can
Happy growing!
