Strawberry Banana (Green Nuggets Seeds)

EC: 1.9 | pH: 5.8 | Nutrient Water Temp: 19°C The ladies are looking great as they hit week 5 of flower! Buds are stacking nicely, and trichomes are starting to sparkle under the lights. The canopy is filling out beautifully, and the scent is starting to get that irresistible sweet and skunky kick. One plant had a bit of a hiccup earlier this week due to a brief water shortage, which caused some temporary stress and slowed her down compared to the others. Thankfully, after a quick fix and some TLC, she’s back on track and looking healthy again. Photo 1 shows the overall canopy, while photo 2 zooms in on one of the frosty colas developing. Excited to see how they finish over the coming weeks! Let me know what you think! 21/04: The ladies are still looking happy overall, but I suspect one of them might be a bit overwatered. Unfortunately, it's not easy to get to her spot, so I’m going to keep an eye on her and might just leave her as is. On a brighter note, the one that dried out too much earlier has bounced back pretty nicely. Recovery is definitely slower at this stage, though, and it’s left a noticeable gap in the canopy. Interestingly, her neighbor seems to be compensating for it—she’s shot up by another 40 cm, which kind of messes with the whole idea of keeping an even canopy. We’ve got about 20–27 days to go until harvest, so I’m thinking it’s time to start making space in the tent for the dehumidifier. Right now, it’s sitting outside the tent and keeping the room at a nice 50% RH (relative humidity), but the tent itself is hovering around 60%, which feels a little high for my liking. This week, I’m planning to do a heavy defoliation since the canopy is getting super dense. The ladies seem to appreciate the extra airflow, though, because bud development is looking absolutely on point. Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve had a round this promising—every time I touch the plants, my hands come away sticky as hell. Always a good sign. Looking back, I do regret adding the autoflowers into the mix. They’ve grown way taller than expected and definitely won’t yield much. On top of that, I’ve had to raise the light higher than I’d prefer, just to accommodate them. That said, the timing with the rest of the plants is surprisingly synced, so as an experiment, it wasn’t a total bust. As for the overall yield, I’m not sure what to expect yet. The buds are medium-sized—there’s a ton of them, but they’re smaller than what I’m used to. I’ll have a clearer idea after the defoliation. Will I hit the 1-kilo mark? Honestly, I can’t say yet. Looking ahead to the next run, I’m planning to grow Chocolate Haze from RQS. I’ll start germinating the seeds at the end of next week. This time, they’ll go straight into 12/12 lighting. I’m leaning toward fresh coco for this round; the current coco needs flushing and root removal, which feels like more effort than it’s worth.
