Zake RS & Banana Krumble GHSC

Skunkiest_bender39 Tent wrapped up in the backyard of a garden cabin. Room is dry, wind safe but not completely closed.

Skunkiest_bender39 Will start Training in a few days, demands on the progress. Topping with bending/mainlining maybe a scrog. Will cut the 4/5 nodie. Nutrients does fit very well!

Skunkiest_bender39 Reaching week 4. looking very well. Gone a bit 2 dry over the last days so I fed water.

Skunkiest_bender39 At the end of week 4, you can see that the girls were FIMmed, but with a razor blade. The two krumble really needed nutrients, the consumption is clearly increasing. I had to raise it from 5 to 7 ml/L, even for the Zake.

Skunkiest_bender39 The girls are really getting going and finally continuing with height growth. The pots have been rooted for about 10 days. 2L of water lasts a maximum of 5 days, usually more like 3-4 days. Fertilizing once a week with 7ml/L usually works very well. The new European fertilizer series from Advanced Nutrients is great!

Skunkiest_bender39 Switched to 12/12 on June 26. A bit too much NPK, but the ladies are taking it very well. I defoliated again and will start tying them down in a few days. The 39Diesel is its own F1 and is getting bloom fertilizer.

Skunkiest_bender39 The ladies have arrived in bloom. The Krumbles are continuing to stretch and noticeably faster than the Zake. All 3 Zake have responded super well to the topping, while the two Krumbles have paused vertical growth for about 2 weeks. The Krumbles paused vertical growth for about 2 weeks, allowing the side branches to catch up well. The Zake will soon be supported. Then we'll start tying them down. 🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 You have to learn from mistakes! Tent not properly secured from light - no 12/12h cycle - hermaphroditism So about 1-1.5W 24h light cycle. Check current setup, maybe rethink it, then raise the lamp and hang the SCROG net. Should still be manageable but of course, it's super bitter 🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 10 days of re-veg worked super well. Even some sun sails are occupied. The bananas smell super sweet and fruity. The Zake have an absolutely intense basil mint diesel scent! All of them have continued to grow great. I sat in the tent and completely darkened it, will switch to 12/12 in 2 days.

Skunkiest_bender39 ScrOG aus rankengitter und weich ummantelten Draht gebunden, konnte Fingerhash machen nach dem einflechten hätte echt Handschuhe anziehen sollen. Bin sehr von den Damen überzeugt. 12 Tage 24h Licht Zyklus und 2 Tage Umstellung seit Woche 11. extrem später Start mit offizieller Blüte dennoch ist die Vorarbeit von den Damen der hammer. Sie haben die Samenbildung sofort eingestellt und diese wieder abgebaut. Hätte damit gerechnet, dass der Blütenstand und die harz/Terpen Produktion nahezu eingestellt werden. Die bananas haben schon Daumen-dicke buds und riechen super süßlich, die Zake besetzen weiterhin fleißig die sonnensegel, riechen etwas zwischen Basilikum-Beeren mit etwas Diesel. Die painkiller (9/9 thc/Cbd) von royal Queen ist als Balkonprojekt Anfang März gestart und bitterlich verkümmert, habe sie seit einigen Wochen mit im Schrank unter gebracht nimmt jetzt einen platzt ein. Hatte sie auch gefimmt, hat sie nicht doll gestört musste sie mehrfach brechen/Knicken damit sie unter den Scrog passt. Rundherum läuft es wieder, nur die bananas haben leichte Mängel, morgen kriegen die beiden eine extra Dosis. 🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 Good in flowering, very sticky and intensely aromatic.

Skunkiest_bender39 Lamp at 80% power and only 20cm space left, guess I’ll have to tie them down... The krumbles have a way, looks like a general deficiency to me but especially low CalMag, or maybe too much already and a lockout could be triggered by adding CalMag. We’ll see. Leaves look bad but buds are growing great, resin production is ongoing, and the smell is getting stronger. Myrcene and Limonene are in the air ;). The Zake smell extremely of cane sugar - hops slightly bitter, the krumbles are both very sweet, the b2 has an intense citrus scent. The Zake are all very different, only the smell is similar. Z1 110cm, Z2 95cm, Z3 85cm. Had to give them extra nutrients. Buds adjusted to any type of topping. Got lucky hitting 3 phenos: sativa-dominant, balanced, indica-dominant. Hope the ladies are having as much fun as I am :D

Skunkiest_bender39 Exploding…

Skunkiest_bender39 Shame on me… I clearly underestimated the dew point in the morning. Daily, the humidity spikes up to 95% at times. Solar is practical, but the tent shouldn't be outside! The grow was a lot of fun, despite some small mistakes and carelessness on my part! The ladies are great and will return to the stock, unfortunately, I couldn't bring them to full maturity, about 2 weeks too early. Next time fewer plants or more defoliation and more circulation. I come from outdoor growing and learned a ton of new things! Banana’s & Painkiller XL are still in the game without any damage or affected areas from mold. 🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 Too bad about the sisters… but the ladies are really happy about the space, I'm curious to see how it goes from here. I placed a fan below the plants. It should finally be heading towards the finish line. Depending on what happens, the ladies are expected to be harvested in 3 weeks! 🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 Less is more, clearly. More space and airflow. Very pleasant sweet citrus scent. From the painkiller sweet-skunky mega sticky…🐝

Skunkiest_bender39 I put a heat mat underneath to keep the temperature between 16-24. I think the slight jumps between the buds are due to cold stress. I turned the light all the way up, which only promoted the jump even more, now back to 80% and heat from below. Last week is running!

Skunkiest_bender39 It was a blast🤙 had a lot of fun, the ladies gave it their all and are super resistant to mildew and cold. Generally excited about OGStrains, but this cultivar is on point ☮️
