Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3

RRuffin Everything is pretty chill, grown quite tall so far, but that was because the lamp didn't have enough power. I've now increased it from 20 to 40.

RRuffin She has grown well and currently looks very nice, so far no deficiencies or other issues.

RRuffin Pretty spread out but looks very nice and there are still no deficiencies.

RRuffin After I successfully fixed the deficiency with CalMag and apparently even on the first watering. I then continued to water normally with water. I topped the plant among other things because the main stem was already too hard for LST. Otherwise, it currently shows no deficiencies and looks very nice.

RRuffin The plant still looks great overall, but I think it's taking a bit long to flower. No deficiencies in the upper leaves, and I can see that it's pulling nutrients from the old and damaged leaves for the upper ones. The lamp height has now been increased from 40 to 60.

RRuffin The plant has finally reached the flowering stage. I had the lamp set from 40 to 60, and the next day the pistils appeared. It could definitely have thicker leaves and be a bit fuller overall, but that shouldn't be a problem now. I'll ask the real issue as a question again. German Disclaimer: - I use Living Soil. The manufacturer says that the soil balances the pH value and that you hardly need to fertilize at all. I've never done that. Once I had a visible CalMag deficiency. I only watered once. The deficiency was quickly corrected. I only use tap water. My pH meter says the pH value of the water is 7.5 and the temperature at 21.4 degrees. I don't have a meter for the EC value.

RRuffin I have now flushed the lady for the 2nd time today. Since many said nutrient excess, I thought this is the best solution. After the flush, I will wait 3 days and then she will get her nutrients again. Everything else is fine.

RRuffin All right, after 3 attempts to lower the pH level of the substrate, I noticed that the plant keeps pushing the water back up to 7.0 by itself 😄. Today, I watered it with a bit of fertilizer; it was a total of 2 liters with the nutrients mentioned above to give it a little push again. The salt buildup seems to be gone (at least I hope so). Still, thanks again to everyone who helped me with this problem.

RRuffin I have watered with fertilizer again. The buds are getting bigger and the plant is already getting most of its nutrients from the leaves. I think it's growing slowly, but we'll see.

RRuffin Joa, I currently feel like she's not really doing much anymore. So unlike last week, unfortunately, nothing has happened except that the leaves look worse. I've read up this week about the hardness of my water, etc. It looks like I definitely have pretty hard water, plus I guess the pipes in the building I live in aren't particularly great. I've set the lamp to 100% and haven't fertilized or anything, just adjusted the water to reduce the alkalinity a bit. For the next grow, I'll probably use the same soil and mix my water with distilled water, or I might try a different soil.

RRuffin I'm definitely in the last week now. I'd say many trichomes are already milky. Still, I would wait another 3-4 days and then harvest. Let's see how it turns out. I'm open to any tips for the harvest or before the harvest. 😁

RRuffin Long time no update, but here are the approximate details of the harvest. A total of 48-50g dry in the end. I can definitely recommend this strain.
