After deciding to start this new growing journey, I chose to germinate a Banana Purple Punch seed from Fast Buds.
This particular strain caught my attention with its unique characteristics, and I couldn't resist giving it a try.
I began by using a hydrogen peroxide water solution to germinate the seed, which helps oxygenate the water and prevent harmful pathogens.
After about 36 hours, the seed cracked open, revealing the first signs of life.
With a taproot emerging, I carefully transplanted the sprouted seed into a 20L airpot, ensuring enough room for the roots to breathe and grow freely.
This marks the beginning of an exciting new adventure, nurturing this intriguing strain to its full potential.🌱💚

One of my cannabis seedlings unfortunately didn’t survive in the pot....😭
Now, I’m trying again with two more seeds of the same strain, but I’ve changed my approach. Once they've successfully sprouted, I transfer them into coco tablets.
There, they’ll remain until they’ve developed healthy roots before being moved to their final growing environment.
I’m hopeful that this method will help me handle the early phase of the cannabis plants more successfully, and I’m excited to see how things turn out.💚💚
It’s the first week of growth, and my cannabis plant is off to a great start!
I used the method of placing the seedlings in coco tabs right after they sprouted, and it seems like it really worked well.
The plant took to the coco quickly and is looking healthy and strong.
I moved it to a small propagation station for the first few days, which definitely helped it establish itself. Now that it’s in the tent, it’s still progressing nicely.
The leaves are starting to form, and everything looks on track for a healthy grow.
I’m excited to see how the plant continues to develop in the coming weeks. So far, everything looks promising!👨🏽🌾🌱
Week two of the vegetative phase, and the Banana Purple Punch is growing like crazy!🌱🌿
The Banana Purple Punch is growing fast and looks super healthy. The leaves are a vibrant green, and the plant is definitely thriving. I’m sticking to the BioBizz nutrient schedule for the vegetative phase, and I’ve also added some Root Juice to support strong root development. 🌱
So far, everything seems to be going perfectly.
The growth has been steady, and I’m excited to see how much more progress the plant will make in the coming weeks.
This is shaping up to be a great grow! 😁✨
It’s the third week of vegetation, and both plants are growing like crazy! 🌿
They’re super healthy and pushing forward with lots of energy. I’ve been feeding them with the BioBizz nutrient schedule for veg and adding Root Juice to boost their root development. 🌱💧
I’m trying different LST (low-stress training) techniques with both plants.
For one, I’ve applied LST to the entire plant, bending the main stem to get more light exposure across the canopy. 🌿🔄
The other plant is a bit different—I’ve only used LST on the lower branches to encourage better side growth while letting the main stem do its thing. 🌱📈
Both plants are responding really well, and I’m excited to see how these different techniques impact their development. Things are looking promising! 😁✨
We’re officially in the first week of flowering, and the stretch has already started! 🌿
The plant without LST has shot up quickly, growing tall and strong.
However, I noticed a few rusty spots on the leaves, which might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. To help, I’ve slightly increased the CalMag and Bloom nutrients for that plant. 🌱
Other than that, everything seems to be going well, and I’m happy with the overall progress. It’s exciting to see them enter this new phase, and I can’t wait to see how the buds begin to form! 😁✨
We’re in the second week of flowering, and the plants are really starting to stretch! 🌿
They’ve gained good height, especially the one without LST, which has grown tall very quickly.
It’s been exciting to watch them reach upward as they prepare for the bud development phase.
Everything is looking good overall, and I’m happy with the progress so far. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the buds will start forming in the next few weeks! 😁✨
It’s the third week of flowering, and the plants are starting to show some exciting progress! 🌿
The buds have begun to build mass, and the first signs of trichome development are visible, giving them a light nice, frosty look. ✨
I did notice a few nutrient deficiencies on the leaves, likely due to underfeeding, as I’m using a medium with 50% coco.
To fix this, I adjusted the nutrient levels, and the plants seem to be responding well. 🌱
The plant that wasn’t trained with LST is about a week ahead in development compared to the LST version, showing more advanced bud growth.
Also, the smell is becoming more pronounced, with the first hints of that classic, sweet aroma filling the tent. 🍬🌿
I’m excited to see how things continue to unfold in the coming weeks! 😁✨
The plants are thriving in their 4th week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with their progress! 🌟
Adjusting the nutrient mix for the coco substrate has really paid off, and both plants are responding beautifully.
The trichome production is impressive on both, but interestingly, the plant without LST is slightly ahead in development compared to the LST variant. 🌿💨
The buds are forming nicely, and there’s already a noticeable aroma in the grow space. It’s predominantly sweet, with hints of something deeper starting to come through. 🍭✨
So far, everything is looking on track, and I can’t wait to see how they progress in the coming weeks!💚💚💚
It’s week 5 of flowering, and things are looking fantastic!
The adjusted nutrients for the coco substrate have clearly made a difference, as both plants are thriving and continue to develop thick layers of trichomes. ✨
Interestingly, the non-LST plant is starting to show some unique color variations, which is surprising given that both are from the same strain.
This unexpected twist adds a bit of excitement, and I’m curious to see how it will develop over the next few weeks.
When it comes to scent, the differences are striking! The LST variant has a bold and distinct Lemon Haze aroma—zesty and citrusy 🍋💨
while the non-LST plant gives off a fruity-sweet smell that’s incredibly rich and inviting. 🍓🍭
Unfortunately, my camera broke this week, and now I’m dealing with some low-quality pictures. 📷😔
While it’s frustrating not to capture the plants in their full glory, I’ll do my best to document their progress as clearly as possible.
Overall, both plants are doing great, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out in the final stretch! 💚
Week 6 of flowering, and things are heating up—literally with the scent! 🌬️💨
Both plants have significantly increased their aroma, and every time I open the grow box, I’m greeted with a strong and delightful smell that fills the space.
The non-LST plant is much further along in its development. Its buds have progressed beautifully in color, and I’ve already noticed the first amber trichomes appearing. 🍂✨
This, along with its overall appearance, is signaling that it’s nearing maturity. Because of this, I’ve started flushing the plant with clear water to prepare it for harvest.
Speaking of the LST plant, it’s about a week behind. 🌱
While it’s not as far along, it’s still thriving with strong trichome production and a stunning Lemon Haze aroma that’s sharper every day. 🍋💚
Both plants are doing great, and the differences in their timelines make this grow even more interesting. I’m excited to see how the LST variant catches up in the coming weeks! 😊🌟
Week 7 of bloom, and I’m thrilled with how things are turning out!🌟
One of the plants has been fully flushed this week and is now ready to be harvested.🌱✂️
It’ll soon be hung up to dry, marking the end of its journey. This plant was incredibly quick, going from seed to harvest in record time—impressive!🍂😊
That leaves me with the other Banana Purple Punch, which has now started its flushing phase.
In about 1 to 1.5 weeks, it’ll spend 48-72 hours in complete darkness before being harvested. This plant is looking fantastic, and I’m excited to see how it finishes up.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this grow. Each plant has shown its unique character and pace, making the process both rewarding and educational. Can’t wait to see the final results from the Banana Purple Punch!😊
The Banana Purple Punch is looking fantastic as it enters its 7th week of flowering!
After checking the trichomes, it’s clear this plant needed a bit more time to mature compared to others, but the wait has been worth it.🌱
This week, I’ve started flushing to prepare for harvest. If all goes as planned, it’ll be ready to cut and hang by the week after next.
The buds are looking dense and frosty, and I’m excited to see the final result!😊
So far, everything is progressing beautifully, and I’m really happy with how this plant is finishing up.
#1 This week, one of my plants reached the end of its journey! 😋
Before harvesting, it spent 3 days in complete darkness to enhance its final resin production. Once ready, I carefully cut and hung it to dry at 20°C with 55% humidity.
The drying process took 9 days, and while I may have over-dried it a little, the results are still impressive.🌱
The buds turned out beautifully, with lots of intricate details and well-defined structures throughout. The aroma remains sweet and berry-like , even with the slight over-drying.
Overall, I’m very happy with how this plant turned out—it’s been a learning experience, and the final product is still something to be proud of!😊
#2Two weeks later, The sister of my Banana Purple Punch has officially reached the end of its flowering stage!
After 8 weeks, I placed the plant in complete darkness for 48 hours to maximize resin production and enhance its final quality.🌱
Once the dark period was over, I harvested the plant and hung it to dry without removing any leaves. Leaving the leaves intact should help slow the drying process for better results.
I’m thrilled with how this grow turned out, and I’m excited to see how the buds cure over the coming weeks!😊
