Excited to announce my newest editions Banana Cake! I planted all three seeds directly into some coco in small seedling pots. Only 2/3 have germinated so far, but enough to start the diary. They will receive dechlorinated tap water for the first week or so and then il start them on a light nutrient feed. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

All appears well with both girls. They both appear to be growing at a similar rate. I’ll give them some nutrients when they next need watering. Not much else to report. I’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to check out this diary, your support is appreciated and it’s nice feeling part of a community 😸 Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

All appears well with these girls, I’ve moved them down to ground level to make space for the clones. They don’t appear to mind. Just waiting for both plants to get a bigger then I plan on topping them both. They’re continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy.

All appears well with both girls. I topped both girls five days ago, they both appear to have recovered and have pushed out some decent side branches in that time. I should be able to start training them in a week or so. They are both continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

All appears well with these girls. Continuing to train them as and when, I might have removed the odd leaf. Both plants are growing at a good rate and are being regularly watered every 3-4 days. Both plants are continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy.

All appears well with these girls. I repotted both plants into 3 gallon fabric pots, they’ve had a few days to settle in and appear to be growing again. I’ve retied all their branches and will continue to train and defoliate as and when. They are both continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy.

All appears well with these ladies. I’ve been having some issues with the light in this tent, the dimmer dial has started to malfunction so for the time being this light is on 100%. I’ve definitely noticed an increase in growth, the extra light and heat appears to be doing wonders. Not seen any signs of light stress ‘yet’ but il be keeping a close eye. I’ve done some light defoliation, letting a lot of the new shoots grow for potential clones. They’re continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy.

All appears well with these ladies. I plan on giving both plants a defoliation session at some point this week. I’ll flatten them out again and even their canopies.

All appears well with these ladies. As you can see they’ve pushed out a few leaves since the last update. I plan on giving them both another round of defoliation in the next day or so. I’ve increase their A+B nutrients up to 1.5ml/ltr, they’re both at a stage where they could have a stronger mix, but due to lack of space I have to keep everything slightly malnourished 🤷‍♂️ They both smell super strong when you start taking off leaves, other than that, not much else to report.

Into flower we go!! Excited to announce the time has finally come for these ladies to enter their flowering phase. I’ve taken a few clones from each plant in the hope that one will be a keeper 🤞🌱 Both plants appear to have recovered from last week’s defoliation session. I’ve increased the A+B nutrients up to 2ml/ltr and I’ve slightly increased the amount of Calmag she’s receiving. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

All appears well with these Ladies. Not a lot to report, they are both just entering their second week of flower. Seen a good amount of growth from both plants over this last week.

All appears well with these Ladies. They are both entering their third week of flower. Yesterday I decided to retie and defoliate the BC#1, she may appear a bit worse for wear, but it’ll do her a world of good. All her branches were really tightly packed in the centre, better airflow now and more light penetration 😸 The BC#2 appears to be growing at a good rate, not had a lot of time recently so both plants are experiencing more of a ‘natural’ ‘unmolested’ grow than usual hence their bushy appearance 🤷‍♂️ Both plants are continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy. Watering on average every 2-3 days. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

It’s day 22 of flower and all appears well with these ladies. Both girls are growing at a good rate, bud sites are forming nicely. The BC#2 is definitely the bigger more vigorous pheno, her bud sites developed a lot faster than her sister. Both plants are continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy.

Day 29 of flower and all appears well 😸 I pulled both plants out the tent earlier this week and gave them both a defoliation session. The BC1 hasn’t really stretched much and is a fairly slow drinker. Still, she’s got good internodal spacing and a decent amount of early trichomes forming. The BC2 is a monster! Having to water her every 1-2 days. She appears to be producing a fair amount of trichomes from what I can see. Both plants are continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week, but I plan on adding some PK boost in the near future. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

It’s day 36 of flower and all appears well 😻 I pulled both plants out of the tent a day ago and gave them a defoliation session. Seen a good amount of bud development and trichome production. I started adding some PK Boost to their feed around 4 days ago, I’ve been giving them a normal feed every other feed in an attempt to negate any excess salts building up in the coco.

It’s day 43 of flowering and all appears well 😸 The BC1 still appears to have a few weeks left to develop, she will continue to receive nutrients up until week 8, then have a week or two flushing. The BC2 appears a bit more developed. I don’t think her buds will get a lot bigger, but the frost on this one is something else 👀🙀. I’ve decided to start flushing this plant, I reckon she’ll be done in the next two weeks or so. I’ve attempted to use a cane to support the BC2 as her branches were starting to droop down quite a bit, didn’t do a particularly good job 🤦‍♂️but I’m hoping it will suffice.

It’s day 50 of flowering and all appears well 😸 That’s it for nutrients now with these girls, both plants are getting flushed. The BC2 has just completed its first week of flush and appears to be progressing at a good rate. Not seeing any sort of fade yet, but it’s still early days. Watering both plants around a gallon every 2-3 days. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

Its day 57 of flower and all appears well with these ladies 😸 The BC1 has just completed her first week of flushing, this will continue for another week at least. Her buds are continuing to swell and she’s giving off a strong OG scent. The BC2 has just completed her second week of flushing. Her buds have blown up over this last week, the bracts/calyx’s look ready to pop! I’ll start checking the trichomes on both plants as we get closer to the end of the week.

All appears well with this lady 😻 The BC1 is still continuing to flush, I’m thinking I may have started her flush a bit early 🤷‍♂️ she could have had another week or two of nutes from the looks of how things are. You live, you learn 💁‍♂️🌱 I decided to harvest the BC2 a couple of days ago. She was a bit of a nightmare to tackle in the end so only took a handful of pictures prior to harvest. She was just collapsing all over the place, it was quite stressful 😸. I’ll post more pics of the BC2, when I harvest the BC1. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 😸🌱💚

Like I said a the top, I’m happy with how they both turned out, but I don’t think either will be sticking around 🤷‍♂️ Both plants grew well through veg, did a lot of training throughout, mainly to slow them down. Both appeared to respond well to the training. Pretty straightforward through flowering, I feel I may have cut the nutrients for the BC1 a few weeks too early, you live you learn 😸🤷‍♂️. Took some pictures of the BC1 prior to harvesting her and added some pictures of the BC2 now she’s dried and done. I made a small test batch of rosin. I saved the final trim, froze, sifted and pressed it. Came out lovely 😻 The BC2 smokes really smooth even with little to no cure. She’s got a nice Kushy taste, nothing special really 🤷‍♂️ hence why they aren’t staying. It’s definitely more of an indica leaning strain, full on couch lock after half a joint. It’s just not got the Terps I’m looking for 🤷‍♂️ I’d like to thank everyone how has had a look, liked or commented on this diary 😸 I hope it’s been helpful in some way 🌱💚
